Jose Mourinho has been in business for long, so he knows what he should or should not say in public. The Special One demonstrated it once again when asked about his EURO 2020 knockout round predictions. Mourinho heads to AS Roma shortly to be their new boss, which may have slightly influenced his decisions.“Let me give you my view. England (will eliminate Ukraine) for sure,” Mourinho told Talksport. All roads lead to Rome, even The Special One: Roma apoint Jose Mourinho as their new coach“The Czech Republic against Denmark will be a difficult one, but I would say Denmark.“Belgium against Italy… ooooh! That’s a big one, a really big one. If I don’t say Italy, tomorrow I land and they kill me, so I have to say Italy.“Switzerland vs Spain is also a big one, but Xhaka is not playing, and they need him – Spain. “Spain, Italy, Denmark and England wil go through.”Another attack on Shaw: Former Manchester United boss living in a world of bitternessEngland are playing Ukraine in Rome and are playing at the Stadio Olimpico, which will be Mourinho’s new home. It will be the first game Gareth Southgate’s side have played away from Wembley, but the former Chelsea, Man United and Spurs boss doesn’t see that as a problem.He said: “I don’t see any negatives. One of the boys said it is a two-and-a-half-hour bus to St George’s Park. It’s a two-and-a-half-hour flight to Rome. You go to Rome, and you play one game and come back. The only thing I will say is, in Rome it is more or less 10C warmer than London when in London it is 20, there it is 30. When in London it is 23, there it is 33. I can imagine it will be considerably warmer than in England, where they will feel it a bit more. Rashford hits out on Mourinho, claiming that the Portuguese tactician kept saying ‘you play there, you play there, you play there’“I don’t think the Olimpico will have 30,000 Ukrainians, no way. It is a stadium with a long distance from the stands to the pitch; the athletics track makes it further.“You don’t feel the atmosphere as intense as in other matches.“You don’t always play the Euros at home. I don’t think there is any problem, ” concluded he.
