That was a hell of a fight back in the second half It's not the substitutions. Is, uh, is the mentality. [0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=8) Um, is the desire, is, uh, is the commitment. [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=13) As I s- I used to say, nobody's important, only the, the club is important. [0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=19) This is not about me, this is not about the players, this is about the club. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=23) And, uh, in the second half the players, they gave absolutely everything. [0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=30) Nothing more to, nothing more to give. [0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=33) We saw the explosion of relief. We heard the res- explosion of relief from the fans, from everybody. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=38) It was just a ca- Was it a case of confidence when that first Juan Mata free kick went in? [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=42) It seemed to bring the, the crowd to life and the players. [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=45) You know, um, you know, I am 55 years old and in spite of, if it's the first time that I see in football a man hunting, um, I am 55, I am mature, I can, I can cope with it and I can, um, live with it. [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=65) I think really some of the boys in spite of they are not the man that is hunted, I think that they are not coping well with it. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=75) And, um, the way they start the game was absolutely panicking. [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=81) Ev- ev- every ball that was in our, in our box, uh, I, I, I thought even in some moments we could even score in our own goal. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=90) Um, and it's not easy, it's not easy for them. [1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=94) Uh, for me, is not easy too but, um, I think, um, life is made of experiences. [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=103) Uh, and some are new and some are deja vu, but this is new but makes me, I think, not just a better manager, but makes me even a better person because I understand, I understand things in the human nature n- nowadays and in the industry where I work. [2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=121) I used to love it and I still love it, but, uh, but is different. [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=126) Um, you know, a lot of, um, a lot of weakness. [2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=132) Too much weakness in something that should be beautiful. [2:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=135) And as I was saying, I, I, I, I cope with it with some sadness obviously, but, um, I cope with it and, and I survive. [2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=144) I'm mature, I'm a big boy. But clearly some of the boys, uh, Marcus Rashford was, was, was sad on the pitch. [2:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=152) Scott McTominay was scared on the pitch. [2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=156) Um, and even all the players, they, they, they, they commit mistakes that, that are not normal. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=162) Um, I think at half time we had a good conversation. [2:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=167) We didn't promise to each other that we were going to win the match because we cannot promise that. [2:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=173) We promised to each other that we are going to give absolutely everything without any fear, without any, any pressure, just the pressure of give everything. [3:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=187) And of course they gave everything and, uh, I don't want to say we were lucky because we fought so much for that. [3:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=195) I think the boys they, they deserve. But even if the result ends with a two-two, even if you don't score the last goal, the feeling would be a positive feeling because, um, as I was, uh, saying, nobody, nobody can, can promise to win matches, [3:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=210) but the professionals should promise to give everything and the boys, they give. [3:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=215) You mentioned your experience and you've seen all these things before, and there's been a lot of speculation about the players, whether they're playing for you, whether you're able to get them up for a game. [3:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=223) Does that response out there today tell a different story? [3:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=225) You know, I think is, is a ridiculous talk because, uh, the players, they don't play for the manager. [3:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=233) If the players play for the manager they are not good professionals because one day they like the manager and they play for them, and the next day comes a manager that, that they don't like and they don't play for, for him but they still get the money. [4:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=245) So I think it's a ridiculous talk. I don't think, uh, in BT you work better because you like your boss, and if a new boss comes and you don't like him then you don't do your work, uh, professionally. [4:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=254) It's not about, it's not about that. It's not about that. [4:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=257) And, uh, uh, what I asked the players was exactly to give absolutely everything. [4:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=264) Of course we had some little tactical touches. [4:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=267) Of course we, we risk a lot. Of course we went in different directions. [4:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=271) We were trying to find the best way to, to play and, uh, in the end, uh, we won the match that I think we, we deserve to win. [4:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=283) I think we deserve to win. I think the fans deserve to win. [4:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=287) I think with two-nil half time with, um, with all the dynamic, uh, of the man hunting, um, I think they behaved amazingly well for the team. [5:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=301) You know, I don't even like people to sing my name. [5:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=304) Uh, I... For the team. And this is what a football club is and Manchester United is a big, a big football club. [5:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=312) Does it calm down all the talk and the speculation about your future now? [5:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=315) And come back in two weeks time, will we expect to see you here doing the job again? [5:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=319) You know, as, as a friend of mine was, was saying to me, uh, this morning, uh, uh, if tomorrow rains in London it's my fault. [5:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=331) You know? I go to London tonight, if tomorrow rains in London it's my fault. [5:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=336) Um, you know, if there is some difficulty to have the agreements of, um, of the Brexit, it's my fault. [5:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=347) Um, and I have to be ready for, um, for all of this. [5:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=351) I think a lot of weakness, uh, weakness, wickedness, and the clear man hunting that I think in, in football is, is too much. [6:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=361) But as I was saying is, uh, is my life. It's a life I, I love. [6:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=365) It's the life I work. [6:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=367) Since I was a kid I work for this and, uh, I will live until my, my last day so is, is one more experience in my life. Maybe the manhunt will stop. Thanks, Jose. [6:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yIV3cUKhEweP/en/jos%C3%A9-mourinho-on-manchester-united-s-3-2-comeback-against-newcastle?t=376) Thank you.
