If I speak my mind, I'll be suspended for 10 games — Mourinho on Europa final
Roma boss Jose Mourinho believes commenting on the club's Europa League Final loss to Sevilla will fetch him a 10-game ban.
He was training alone at Chelsea, had fallen out with Inter, and was unwanted by Juventus; Roma swooped in and signed him on loan.
His debut was marred by a defeat to rivals Milan, but in a 7-0 demolition of Empoli today, the Belgium international scored his first goal for his new employers. It was a huge personal moment for him given the travails of the transfer window, but Mourinho does not give it much importance.
What Mourinho said
Lukaku scored the sixth goal of the game when Giallorossi had already wrapped up the game. He was, however, a key factor in Roma’s heavy victory.

When asked about the goal, Mourinho had this to say:
“It wasn’t important to me; maybe it was to him,” he said, GFNI.
“I care about the team; whether he scores or not doesn’t change anything for me: I care that he gives a different profile to the team; we have to learn to play better with him and he with us.
