The head coach of the Portuguese team "Benfica", Jose Mourinho, made a statement after the 2:0 victory over "Ajax" in the 5th round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Idman.Biz reports that an early goal in the match gave the Portuguese representative both a score advantage and emotional comfort, and this result greatly improved the team's position in the tournament.
Speaking about this, Mourinho said that two more victories are needed:
"From the tournament's point of view, this victory gave us a new breath. If there was a draw, our situation would be more difficult. I think if we can score nine points in the end, we will have good chances. We still need two wins."
The head coach described the end of the match as follows:
"There was a feeling that even if Ajax had 150 players on the field, they still couldn't score. The players did a great job and it was very nice to celebrate such a victory after the match."
After five rounds, Benfica is in 29th place in the UEFA Champions League group stage table.
It should be reminded that after the incomplete 5th round of the Champions League, "Qarabag" is in 16th place with 7 points. The "Köhlən atlar" will play their next European Cup match against Amsterdam "Ajax" on December 10.
