Once the Predator Blues, the offensive and defensive 433 formation, the classic Diamond midfielder, Lampard, Makelele and Essien look lined up, while generally Makelele drags behind, Lampard is responsible for organizing and inserting scores, and Essin is responsible for breaking and mixing.
A perfect midfielder, Mourinho has not been encountered since then, and even came to Inter, using high-ball players such as Motta and Cambiasso to play double backs to make up for the flaws in the team's offensive and defensive links.
In the current Roma, Mourinho changed the formation into a 3 midfield formation after a fierce operation, a very interesting diamond formation, when it is necessary to play, the team is a double back, in the attack, single back plus double midfield, in defense, three central defenders side by side to stand in the midfield.
Mkhitaryan was on the left, exercising Lampard's function, organizing the attack decently, but the long-range shots and back insertions were really poor, and it was no wonder that Mourinho tried the Velletu again, seemingly hoping to add a scoring point; Perez and Bovey were Essin's positions, generally going up as a churner and providing more support for the attack.
Christant's position at Makelele, to be honest, is an arrangement that I very much disagree with.
The player has a height of 1.86 meters and can also play three centre-backs, but it is very difficult in the back position, of course, I don't know if he can practice in the future under Mourinho.
But from the current point of view, he stands in the C position of the three midfielders, the base of the diamond formation, the attack of the midfield is abolished, as for the defensive aspect! In the last "European Cup" match, he conceded two goals in the second half, almost preventing Roma from directly advancing to the round of sixteen.
There was also that time to play Bode Shine, the substitute players fell behind 1-2 in the first half, replaced by Christant and other main players in the second half, and lost 4 at once. In fact, all fans know that Christant and Wellerto have the same characteristics and cannot play at the same time, but Mourinho is no one on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also hopes to play.
But for now, that hope is too slim, and even I think that Wellerto plays in the C position in midfield (but plays on both the left and right sides), which is much more reliable than Christant in terms of offensive organization (just like I always thought that Thanos Lucas Jr. is the best player to play in tottenham Hotspur's forward, but the elder Mu has always believed in his son Locelsol), and Mourinho obviously thinks ThatCastle is more defensive.
In fact, everyone understands that as long as zakaria or Grilić is replaced at the back, Roma, whether it is a three-midfielder or a double-back formation, will immediately take off.
But it depends on whether Mourinho will be ruthless, don't be afraid of failure, smash a high salary, and bring these two people together, although they will face competition from Dort and Bayern.
Think of Klopp's Liverpool, it was not after smashing Van Dijk (Southampton) and Alisson (Roma) that the Red Army dynasty was achieved and breakthroughs in the Champions League and league.
While the European media agreed that Christant would continue to be the main player in midfield, I couldn't disagree, I think Mourinho himself will be a bit contradictory, on the other hand there will be distrust of Kumbula.
So I think in the match against Spezia, the main players in the Roma midfield will be Mkhitaryan, Velato and Bovey, that is, the 19-year-old Roma academy player Bovey will once again be the answer in the midfield, and Veletto will once again stand in the C position of the midfield, together with Mkhitaryan to support the team's offensive organization.
Mourinho's rarest runner, Cristint (third in serie A running distance), will appear on the left side of the three centre-backs because of Mancini Jr.'s suspension, responsible for the ball and defense of the backcourt, while Kumbra will play as a substitute again, although his recent style has become more fierce (defensive), more direct (passing and passing), but the team's three captains are obviously the son of the old Mu.
Finally saw the classic diamond formation, some sighs, some excitement, even if I only see its shape, there is no god, but also let me infinitely look forward to it, hoping that the Red Wolf Legion created by Mourinho can make the Serie A tremble again.
It also lived up to the slogan that the Roma fans had once again played, willing to follow Mourinho to Purgatory!
Follow me, witness the rise of the Eternal City together, and accompany Mourinho to win the championship together!
