Roma coach Jose Mourinho declared on Tuesday that the Europa Conference League final that his team will play against Feyenoord in in Tirana is already “history” and that they have to “do everything possible to win it.” “Friday’s Serie A game against Torino was a final, but it’s not history. Tomorrow’s match is already history because we’ve come this far. Now we’ll finish writing history, a final that you have to do everything to win”, said Mr Special One during the press conference on Tuesday.WED: 22.00: (2.45) ROMA (3.35) FEYENOORD (3.20)It is the first final for Giallorosi in 31 years, which this Wednesday have the opportunity to lift a European trophy after that Fairs Cup in 1961. “We reached the end of this season with two finals to play in four days: the match against Torino guaranteed us access to the Europa League, we achieved our goal, and it was the best way to think only about Feyenoord”, explained the Portuguese coach. Roma secures a Europa League place before Conference League finalsMourinho can become the first coach to lift the Conference League trophy. He is already among those very few to reach the finals of the three European competitions, but, according to himself, experience does not help him. “It’s a final. Until the kick-off, there will be nothing else on my mind. It’s my way of being and doing things. I thought the experience would help, but it’s not like that. For me, it’s the same like the very first time I reached the finals – I’m focused, or maybe it’s my way of preparing for the game. Superstition? I don’t have any, I hate superstitions. They asked me what jersey we’re playing with, this year’s or the new one, and I said I don’t want to know. It’s the same for me,” he said.Mourinho as special as always: We are bringing Roma back to the Champions LeagueThe only doubt in the starting XI is Henrikh Mkhitaryan, one of Mourinho’s regulars. “Today, he has trained again with the group for the first time. I trust him, and he knows his body and knows how to interpret the symptoms well. At the end of the training, he told me that he’s ready”.
