We didn’t beat any of the big clubs last season, so I hope we can do better this time.” he told Sky Sport Italia.“We always play to win and that is our objective going to Turin. We have a coach who won almost everything and that makes a difference. Winning away to Juventus would be an important result.“Mourinho changed our mentality and in training we work twice as hard to satisfy him. If we continue like this, we can go far.”Jose Mourinho has set the record for the longest home unbeaten run in Serie A history, stretching across 42 games 🤯𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙅𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 🤷♂️ pic.twitter.com/W1D9U201GV— Goal (@goal) October 4, 2021 “I am scoring goals more consistency now, but I can do even better.
