The Serie A half-time game has all come to an end, Mourinho's Roma team has not performed well, although the club's top brass spent nearly 100 million euros in the summer window to bring in tough players such as Tammy Tam and Shomurodov, but now only ranked 6th in the league, according to this momentum, not to mention the competition for the league title, even the competition for the fourth place has become extremely difficult. It is no exaggeration to say that mourinho has run out of time.
Roma are 6 points away from The 4th place Atalanta, behind Juventus is 2 points, more importantly, behind the Fiorentina and Lazio have also been looking at the tiger, at any time it is possible to achieve a rebound, so Roma has no chance to make mistakes, after the winter break, the results of the successive matches against AC Milan and Juventus are crucial, if they lose, they basically quit the league to compete for four.
In terms of overall strength, AC Milan and Juventus are above Roma, and Mourinho needs a lot of luck to lead the team to win, such as the opponent is plagued by injuries, otherwise even if the club's top brass recruits in the winter window, it will be too late. Unfortunately, Mourinho seems to be out of luck, and the new year's first opponent AC Milan not only has no new injuries, but the lineup is getting more and more complete.
After a two-week break in the winter window, Ibrahimovic, Leo and Rebić have fully recovered from injury and have all resumed training with their teammates, which means that they can play against Roma, which is definitely not good news for Mourinho. How scary the squad-lining AC Milan is, as can be seen by the unbeaten 12 league games at the start of the season.
Roma's weak defensive ability against Ibrahimovic, Leo and Rebić is far from enough, unless Mourinho can recreate the heroic performance of the team against Atalanta in the 18th round of the league, Roma is definitely fierce, know that Pioli is bound to win this game, the Rossoneri need this precious 3 points to catch up with Inter Milan in the standings, so as to avoid saying goodbye to the league title battle early.
Once Roma lose the matchup between AC Milan, the ranking in the league table may further decline, and the confidence of the players to compete for the fourth may be hit hard, in this case, against Juventus, who is gradually recovering, the result will be more likely to be more sinister. The situation is very unfavorable for Roma, Mourinho's prospects for a fourth place in the league are very unoptimistic, and it may take a miracle to achieve this goal, let's wait and see.
