Quite annoyed to have seen Nemanja Matic leave for Rennes, José Mourinho targeted the two Parisian recruits from AS Roma, Leandro Paredes and Renato Sanches.
It can be said that José Mourinho did not appreciate seeing Nemanja Matic leave AS Roma for Stade Rennais at the start of the week. The Portuguese coach would have preferred his playing master to stay, or failing that, to warn him in advance so that the Roman recruiters organize themselves to find him a replacement with the same profile. Mourinho raised the subject on Saturday at a press conference, targeting at the same time the state of form of Leandro Paredes and Renato Sanches.
Sold for one and loaned for the other to AS Roma by Paris Saint-Germain, the two men have obviously not yet convinced the “Special One”. ” The problem is when you lose a player and he is not replaced. And instead it was Paredes and Sanchez who arrived and not Peppino and Tonino. I really like Paredes and his way of playing, but the season hasn’t been good for him, apart from the World Cup. He arrives without having trained with the team.”
“Excellent player, but…”
And in the case of Renato Sanches, José Mourinho made the same observation. ” He’s also a great player, but he suffered several injuries last season and like (Houssem) Aouar, he hardly ever played. “It remains to be seen if the Lusitanian coach will manage to get by despite all these disappointments.
