Beijing time 1:30, 21/22 Serie A round 20 ushered in a focus battle, Roma visited San Siro to challenge AC Milan. As a result, Roma were not only awarded two penalties, Karlsdorp and Mancini Jr. were sent off, and finally suffered a 1-3 double, which can be said to be a complete defeat.
Before the winter break, Roma overturned on the weak Sampdoria, six points behind the Champions League zone, and the prospect of competing for four was not optimistic. After a full 15 days of rest, the Roman generals were still depressed, which can be described as collective sleepwalking.
The post-match data showed that Roma had only 45% of the ball, shot 11-19 on goal, shot 5-5 on target, and the scoring chance was 1-5! It can be said that if it were not for AC Milan's bad luck, Olivier Giroud and Messias hit the upright, and Ibrahimovic did not score a penalty in the last minute, Roma would probably lose more than 1-3!
As the saying goes, if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, and after Rome lost, they have been squeezed to the 7th place in the table by Fiorentina, and 6 points behind Atalanta in one more game. If Atalanta wins this round, it will beat Roma by nine points. From any point of view, Rome's hope of fighting for four is relatively slim.
After the game, Mourinho returned to his crazy nature, once again making controversial remarks: "I don't deny that Roma's strength is not OK, we are a mid-range team, and the team has made too many mistakes, all personal mistakes, and losing is not a tactical problem." ”
"In my opinion, the result was the worst because we didn't get a single point. But after the game, it's all over and I'm looking at the next game and we'll try to improve. ”
According to Mourinho's meaning, the main reason for the loss of this game is that the team is not good, the players have made too many mistakes, and their tactics are no problem. In fact, as early as when Tottenham was in charge, Mourinho also had similar remarks, often putting the responsibility for the defeat on the players and repeatedly stressing that he had no problem.
Seeing this scene, some fans asked Mourinho, since Roma is the same as last season, it is the middle level, so why spend money to ask you to coach?
