AS Roma wing-back Leonardo Spinazzola says he loves playing for coach Jose Mourinho.
Despite outside criticism, Spinazzola says the problems are behind the Special One.
He told AS: "The coach gave me confidence and tranquility day after day. He lived my moments of illusion and also when I was physically in Trigoria, but mentally on another planet.
"He knows how to calm the group, he wants the best; but he is based on attitude, not just results. If you give it your all on the field, he doesn't say anything to you even if you lose."
On Europa League opponents Real Sociedad, he said they can expect from Roma: "A team with identity, hungry, that wants to beat them and qualify. The Europa League is essential for us and this year we have important objectives, which we live game by game."
