Mourinho on the team's progress
Mourinho said: "This is something all the players now have. I have seen Kylian pressing too; players who are extremely committed. The team is developing, and playing well. I am really happy with this performance. When the attacking players make sacrifices, it benefits the team."
Mourinho stressed: "Not at 100%, but we are improving. Less than four months is a short period, and we have made gradual progress. I now understand things I did not understand on day one, and the players understand my personality as a coach better. They understand the things that are non-negotiable for me. There is good human communication between the players and the coach, between my ideas and their abilities... we are going along just fine."
