This time against the underdog Spezia, Mourinho and former Inter disciple Motta met, and in the end Roma won the opponent through two corner kicks. After the game, Mourinho said he liked the way he scored from corners, because he practiced 25 minutes of corner kick tactics the day before the game. "I like the result, but I don't like the process. At the start of the first half, we easily lost the ball. We can't easily pass the ball and in this situation, against Spezia shouldn't have played so hard. Mourinho was critical of his disciples after the game.
Asked if Smalling, Ibanez and Zagnolo could catch up with the weekend game against Atalanta, Mourinho responded: "Let's see again, Ibanes insisted on staying on the field this game, but Smalling went off early because he felt a little uncomfortable. Ibanez has been playing and I hope they are all just a matter of fatigue. Atalanta are a top team, their bench depth is also very thick, and their game can be predictably a very difficult game. ”
"I don't know the situation with Zaniolo yet, I want to determine if he has serious injuries, which need to be observed and diagnosed. But either way, against Atalanta, and then against Sampdoria, it's going to be a very tough game. Mourinho said.
