Jose Mourinho: "I am not Merlin or Harry Potter"
The Inter Milan’s coach, Jose Mourinho, said in the first press conference of the new season that he didn’t found the team he dreamed two months ago and that he didn’t like working with a numerous squad.
“To start with 30 players is a problem and it’s not good for the club. Furthermore I don’t want to train players that I don’t longer need. Obviously I did not find the team that i dream of at the end of the last season.
We need a central defender and an offensive midfielder but it would not be fair for me to ask our president to buy them. Therefore I say that the club objectives should be adapted to reality. I will try to work with what is available, but miracles not occur very often. I am not Merlin or Harry Potter” said the Portuguese coach of the Italian champions.
