"Tirana deserved the final", Mourinho: If Roma wins, an Albanian
Jose Mourinho

Roma coach Jose Mourinho spoke at the press conference, a day before the final challenge of the Conference League, where his team will play against Feyenoord.

Regarding the match, Mourinho stated that he will seek to win the trophy at all costs, to write history.

"We have come to the end of this journey of this season. Two finals in four days. The first gave us what we deserved, qualifying in Europe and improving in the rankings, compared to last season. Now we have written history, reaching the final in Europe, after so many years of waiting. When you reach the finals, you have to do everything to win, to write history.

We won against Torino and come calmly in this final against Feyenoord. My staff and I stayed in Trigoria from Friday until today. I did not ask the same of the players. "I saw the team in good shape, they are in tension and they are happy."

The Portuguese technician did not spare good words for Albania, while saying that the "Air Albania" stadium is very beautiful.

Mourinho also stated that in Albania there is a lot of talk about Roma, because of the Albanian player, who plays with the yellow and reds, Marash Kumbulla. He said that if Rome wins, an Albanian raises the cup.

"First of all, I am a little wrong in the analysis because I think that the only reason why this 'feeling' in favor of Rome exists is because we have an Albanian player. It seems to me the most logical thing, the most normal. If Rome wins, an Albanian raises the cup. This I think has a meaning. I played a final in Northern Macedonia and it was a wonderful experience. Tirana deserves this final, for the growth that Albania has shown. The stadium is very beautiful. I'm happy to come here to play. Tomorrow is the day of the players, we coaches will be out. Until tomorrow in my mind will be just the finale.

I am happy to visit Albania, it was one of the few places I had not seen up close. I liked the airport, as well as the management of Tirana. "The stadium is very beautiful."
