The head coach of Manchester United Jose Mourinho shared his emotions from the victory in the final of the Europa League over Ajax (2: 0).

Jose Mourinho was pleased with the work done during the season and noted how important was the victory in the European League.

"This is the end of a very difficult season, but very, very good. We wanted more of this than taking the fourth, third or second place in the Premier League. We achieved the goal - returned to the Champions League, having won a very important trophy. Now the club has all the trophies of world football. We kept it in mind right from the start. We always thought that we could win the League of Europe, "said Mourinho.

"We played very smartly. We knew that we could win, and we did it in an excellent manner. If you want to create pressure on the player with the ball all the time, you can not play short. If you dominate in the air, then you need to play on long balls.

There are many poets in football, but they do not win many trophies. We knew what they are better than us, and what we are better than them. And we tried to level out their strong qualities. Everything went very well. We won three trophies this season, went to the Champions League. I am very pleased with the players in this difficult season, "- said the Portuguese.

Recall that Mourinho rewrote a number of records thanks to the victory in the European League.
