Jose Mourinho Happy With Derby Win

As expected Inter’s boss Jose Mourinho was very pleased with his teams performance in the Milan Derby..

“We won tonight, Inter played a spectacular game from every point of view. From the first minute you could see we were the stronger team. We won, but we leave here with a strange taste. It was a strange match where my players were fantastic and Milan played their game. There’s nothing else to say.”

Mourinho was asked for his thoughts on Gianluca Rocchi’s refereeing and the decision to send off Wesley Sneijder. He replied:

“This is your country, it’s your championship. I’m just a foreigner who comes here to do his job. I don’t want to add anything else, but I repeat that we would only have lost today if we had been reduced to six men. Milan did everything to leave here with dignity, the match was never easy for them. I haven’t heard Leonardo’s post-match declarations, but I don’t need to. He’s a great man and he will be the first to say that Inter deserved to win.”

“Championship over? No. I have already realised that they won’t let us win the championship. If in Bari they decided not to punish Bonucci’s foul with a red and if today Sneijder was sent off, I don’t think we can win this Scudetto. Rocchi told me that Sneijder was sent off for the applause and he asked me what I do if a player ironically applauds a decision of mine. No, I replied, I don’t send him off because this is part of the game. But it wasn’t a coincidence that Mr Rocchi produced the red card.”
