'A man's biggest flaw is a lack of balls': Jose Mourinho reportedly rips into Roma players after Inter defeat

Things are not going well for Jose Mourinho in Italy with his AS Roma side currently just seventh in the Serie A table.

Roma suffered a 2–0 defeat in the Coppa Italia against Inter Milan on Tuesday and the Portuguese reportedly unloaded on his players after the game.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the former Manchester United manager launched into a furious and explosive rant in the dressing room, questioning the player's mentality.

Mourinho is quoted as saying: "I want to know why, playing face to face with Inter, you s*** yourselves in the first 10 minutes. And then I want to know why even against Milan you s*** yourselves 10 minutes in!

"Everyone, no one excluded. I want to know why for two years you have shown yourselves small against the big sides. If we are small, the referees treat us as small! They treat Rome as a child. 

"Inter are a super team, you had them in front of you and instead of finding the right motivations, you s*** yourself!  A man's biggest flaw is a lack of balls, a lack of personality. The worst thing for a man!'"
