In a previous interview, Mourinho spoke about Messi and the players he wants to coach.
Mourinho said: "I have a lot of good memories and a lot of bad ones. If I had to choose a good memory, I would choose the most recent. It's probably not the most important trophy I've won, but given the level of joy it brings, and because it's the closest, I'd say the Europa Conference League in Rome. ”
There are a lot of great things in my career, a lot of great games to remember, and it's impossible to pick just one or two. I also have a lot of bad memories, like losing on penalties in two Champions League semi-finals and losing on penalties in a Europa League final because the referee decided we couldn't win. There are a lot of bad memories. ”
In addition, the Portuguese boss was asked who he would like to work with in his career, with Mourinho saying: "For example, I have never coached Messi, but there is no one who can train Messi. It is ridiculous to think that you can guide him because he was born with everything and already knows everything. He might teach you something. All you can say is that you are honoured to have Messi in your team. ”
I would say I would like to have De Rossi when I am at Inter and Real Madrid, but it is impossible. I also wanted Totti to join Inter, which was not possible despite his age at the time. These are the players I've always wanted in my career. ”
