Real Madrid defeated AS Roma 4-3 at the Olympic Stadium during the second matchday of the UEFA Champions League, completing the comeback after making tactical modifications in the second half.

José Mourinho substituted the 26-year-old forward Vinícius when the team was going through its worst period on the field, later taking responsibility in a press conference amid the player's protests upon leaving the pitch.

MOURINHO, ON VINICIUS' UGLY GESTURE: "It is normal for him not to be happy. I do not like it, but it is normal for an important player's frustration who was very happy after the match with his team's victory. That, for me, is the most important thing." https://t.co/LV7XcvfqBr

José Mourinho's Explanations Regarding Vinícius' Substitution

The Portuguese coach was questioned by the microphones about the Brazilian's gestures, who was heard saying "Why me?" when heading towards the substitutes' bench. "It is normal. Obviously, it is something I DO NOT like. But it is normal for a player to get frustrated when being replaced. He was happy after the match," José Mourinho explained to ease tension over the episode during the 4-3 clash in Italian territory.

The coach admitted that the tactical decision aimed to change the team's dynamics, taking blame for the initial assessment before making the substitutions that led to the comeback.

Real Madrid's Reaction to Secure the Victory in the Champions League

The performance of the 26-year-old forward appeared modest during his time on the field, prompting the coaching staff to alter the offensive structure to unlock ball distribution. After the forward's substitution, Real Madrid increased efficiency in the opponent's area to overturn the score and secure the 3 points in the league phase of the continental tournament.

Mourinho emphasized that the player's momentary anger was resolved in the dressing room after the European triumph. Real Madrid's coaching staff will continue training at Valdebebas Sports City, focusing on the league match against Sevilla on October 18th.

If the collective performance maintains the effectiveness shown in the late stage in Italy, José Mourinho will consider rotating the attacking line for the upcoming official fixtures.
