In the second round of the Champions League finals this morning, Manchester United lost to Sevilla 1-2 at home and missed the UEFA Champions League. After the match, Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho said in an interview with the Spanish media "MEGA TV" that losing was his responsibility and expressed his congratulations on Seville's promotion.
"When the team wins the game, the victory belongs to everyone, and when it is lost, the failure belongs to the coach. This is true in England, Spain, and China. I lost this game, obviously this is me. mistake."
"This is football, and I know that the first round of turnovers gives Seville some advantage, which allows them to play a controlled football. In certain important stages of the game, Sevilla firmly controls the ball. We had a chance to break the deadlock, but they took the lead in breaking the ball. After the goal, we should continue to insist on the final effort to reverse our opponents, but their second goal followed and the opponents controlled the situation. ”
"You might think that Manchester United did not play well with their opponents, but that was not what I thought. In the first leg of the away game, we took control of the situation but we could not score goals, but after they took advantage of the scene in the second round, they managed to break through smoothly. We have our goal. It seems to me that the knockout parties played very close together. Although the outcome is the same, I think if this game ended with a draw, it would be a more fair result."
"Congratulations to Sevilla, they scored more goals than we did, and they were promoted to the next round. We hope they will have good luck in the future."
