Early this morning, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Benfica, coached by 62-year-old Mourinho, lost 0-1 to Bayer Leverkusen. Mourinho took office and led Benfica to suffer a 3-game losing streak in the Champions League. Benfica has lost all 4 games in the Champions League this season. Today, Benfica faces the equally powerful Bayer Leverkusen team and has every chance to win the game, because Benfica basically has the upper hand in all statistics in this game. Among them, Benfica has a higher ball possession rate than Leverkusen, reaching 53% of the ball possession rate. In addition, Benfica has 6 corner kicks, 6 more than Leverkusen. In other words, Leverkusen has 0 corner kicks, while Benfica has 0 shots. It reached 21 times, 14 times more than Leverkusen, 6 times Benfica shot on target, 3 times more than Leverkusen, 2 times hit the goal frame, 24 times Benfica made crosses, 21 times more than Leverkusen.

It can be said that Benfica was in a strong position and did not score points in this campaign. Maybe they were just a bit unlucky.

After the game, Mourinho expressed his views in an interview, which aroused heated discussion among fans. Let's take a look.

Mourinho said: "Except for not scoring, Benfica did almost everything. Today it was obviously the better team that lost the game, and the only team that created opportunities lost the game. If we play 10 times, we can win 9 times. There is no doubt about it. If we can get 6 points, the team is still in the competition. When a team has various unsporting behaviors, the referee is the only person responsible."

Fan 1 said: This is another familiar Mourinho summary after losing.

Fan 2 said: This is an inappropriate failure expert.

Fan 3 said: This is definitely the last job.

Fan 4 said: Fast forward directly to the termination fee.

Fan 5 said: The press conference was reversed.

Fan 6 said: He is tough-talking and has never lost a post-game press conference.

Fan 7 said: The magic bird is no longer magical, only its tough mouth remains
