"Some people think I'm Jose Harry Mourinho Potter"

Roma coach Jose Mourinho on Saturday ironised the demands and expectations surrounding his job and praised his work with the Giallorossi, who are four points adrift of the Champions League places, an "almost impossible" target.

"The Roma fans are the most incredible I have seen. Their coach is Jose 'Harry Potter' Mourinho and he raises expectations," he told reporters on Saturday.

"I don't know how many derbies I've played, 200, 150, they are always special matches. I've won, I've drawn, I've lost, always with a different experience," he continued.

"I have always understood that for a Chelsea fan, a game against Manchester City is not the same as a game against Arsenal. That for Inter, a game against Roma is not the same as a game against Juventus. I understand what a derby means. The derby we played was an important derby.

"I've been here for two years and five months and I'm the only person here who hasn't missed a single training session in that time," he concluded.
