Italy will be happy we lost - Mourinho
Published in FilGoal on 12 - 03 - 2009

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho believes that anti-Inter Italians will be happy his team crashed out of the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Manchester United.
Inter could only scrape a goalless first-leg at San Siro, and United's 2-0 win at Old Trafford on Wednesday meant that the Nerazzuri's dream of European glory will have to wait another year.
However, the Portuguese tactician, who's currently enduring a bad relation with the Italian media refused to blame his players for the defeat.
"I am not angry, just sad. Before laying a finger on my team, they have to go over my dead body," Mourinho said after the game.
"All of Italy will be happy that Inter went out. I don't care, though. I know that I won."
Bad Luck
United stunned Inter with early goals in each half, and Mourinho was convinced that the game's outcome could have changed if Adriano didn't hit the post after the interval.
"We did not have the luck that is needed to win these big games. It's a shame for those who had never won this trophy and wanted to achieve that.
"We had a great reaction after going 1-0 down and United were scared, but then that second goal came out of nowhere.
"Adriano had the chance to make it 2-1 and frighten Manchester again, but he was not lucky enough and he hit the post."
