Roma coach Jose Mourinho insists the players are with him after another combustible week.
Mourinho responded to quotes coming from his dressing room after their Coppa Italia quarterfinal defeat to Inter Milan, where he steamed into the players.
The coach said, “The players told me they are happy with my working methods. There are no secrets between us, I say things to their face and I invite the players to engage in a dialogue. Everyone told me they don't want me to change, so I told them I will not change.
“You talk about it as me letting loose frustration, but do you think I shouldn't reproach Ibanez, Karsdorp, Mancini or Smalling? We talked after the game, analysed and worked on those errors. That is how I work.
“Now ask me questions about Sassuolo or I am leaving."
