Speaking at the press conference, he didn't mince his words:
"Although we haven't yet experienced the sadness of defeat, we've recorded many draws, many of which were influenced by external factors. There are no bad people, no disrespectful people—that doesn't exist in this team."
He went even further, being more incisive about the squad's mentality.
"What we have are certain profiles who, regardless of their bank accounts and their titles, are hungry, and others who seem to take this life lightly. That saddens me. They're not bad people, nor bad professionals, but they really lack that character," he insisted.
Despite this hard-hitting outburst, Mourinho reaffirmed his intention to continue his project with Benfica.
