But is it somewhat excessive to sacrifice the big-eyed guy in order to maintain the reputation of two "superstars"?
Mourinho was indifferent to what the audience thought; he merely pointed out the facts.
If the big-eyed guy could be more selfless in the match, then at least after Higuain was substituted, the match could have changed, but the big-eyed guy became a new problem.
Does he think he can become Chen Zhong?
Simply laughable!
"We created a lot of goal opportunities, especially in the final phase of the match, which tests the players' mental fortitude because they are concerned the match is about to end."
"We created 5 to 6 scoring opportunities throughout the match; I think we have done what we should to win."
"Of course, we are not without areas that need improvement."
