During Mourinho's time at Inter, Motta was a midfielder he really liked to reuse. In Mourinho's midfield system, Motta Cambiasso has taken Inter's midfield ability a notch. One of the most impressive scenes of Motta during his time at Inter was when motta made a small gesture against Barca in the champions league semi-finals, which made Busquets fall to the ground, lying on the ground and watching through the cracks of his fingers whether the referee sent Motta off.
This season, Spezia also has a bad record, after losing 0-2 to Roma in this game, only 3 wins, 3 draws and 11 losses in 17 games, and Spezia, who has scored 12 points, is currently ranked 17th, deep in the relegation quagmire. However, after the loss, Motta still gave his former mentor a very high evaluation: "I have a lot of respect for Mourinho, I think it is mutual. Mourinho is a very real person and it's a very natural thing to hug him, we only have 90 minutes to be competitors. ”
Analyzing the team's two goals conceded, Motta said: "That's why we're in the table right now, we conceded two avoidable goals in corner defence. Roma used their strengths and took good control of the game and we couldn't create chances to pull the game back to where we wanted it to be. ”
Mourinho revealed after the game that corner goals were the result of his training: "I am happy with these two goals, after all, yesterday we spent 25 minutes practicing corner kicks. Ahead of the match against Roma, Motta also praised Mourinho, saying he had inspired everyone when he took Inter.
