Posle meča je naglasio da će učiniti sve da mit o slavnom Argentincu nastavi da živi.
"Postarao sam se da moj sin zna mnogo o njemu iako je rođen nakon Dijegove igračke karijere. Znam da će se on postarati da jednom kada postane otac ne dozvoli da se uspomena na njega zaboravi. Bilo je slično sa mojim ocenm i Di Stefanom. Ja nikada nisam vidio Di Stefana kako igra fudbal, ali on se postarao da ja znam mnogo o Di Stefanu", rekao je Murinjo.
Jose Mourinho revealed the private side of Diego Maradona who would "call me after my big defeats, but never my victories" following the Argentina legend's passing.
On se onda osvrnuo na svoje prijateljstvo sa Argentincem i istakao da će mu jako nedostajati podrška koju je dobijao u teškim trenucima od fudbalske legende.
Tužan sam zbog Dijega, ali mi je osmijeh na licu: Murinjo se zakleo da će budućim generacijama prenijeti mit o Maradoni!

"Dijego čovjek, on mi nedostaje. Žao mi je što nisam proveo više vremena sa njim. Njegovi prijatelji, kolege, porodica, imali su privilegiju da ga dobro poznaju. Ja ga dobro znam i on bi me uvijek zvao poslije teških poraza. Nikada poslije pobjeda. Tužan sam, ali imam osmijeh na licu jer je svaki minut proveden sa njim bio uz smijeh", rekao je Portugalac.
