Mourinho's 'smashing lads' have Juventus in their sights

"We have a bunch of smashing lads who always try to turn weaknesses into strengths and to help each other. We'll see".

Jose Mourinho will hope his "bunch of smashing lads" from AS Roma build on their impressive 2-0 win over defending Serie A champions Napoli last weekend and dent Juventus's title-chasing ambitions today.

"I prefer to take things one at a time for one very simple reason and this is not to blame anyone; it's not a criticism but we have a group of players with complicated injury histories," said Mourinho.

Mourinho said, though, that despite all the problems the team's great strength was the bond between the players. "We're united," said the 60-year-old Portuguese coach.
