“Forget it, forget it. Forget about the interested clubs. They'd better sit down and wait, otherwise they'll get tired,” Mourinho said in response to the interest in the player. The coach made his opinion of him clear: “He's a player I adore. He's a player who I think has incredible potential and is very important to us”.

“After pre-season, he suffered an injury that kept him out for over a month, four or five weeks, which meant he missed the start of the season. I've already spoken to him myself, because after he recovered, the opportunity still hadn't come”.

“In this match, our good fortune was his bad luck, because when we scored, he was about to come on. He and Bernardo were about to come on almost at the exact moment we scored. And then, with us winning and down to ten men, it's normal for a coach to change his mind and consider other options”.
