Roma lost 1-3 away to AC Milan, which was a predictable result, but did not expect that the game process still generated a lot of controversy, and in the end, Roma only had 9 players left to fight.
After a short winter break, although Roma's new signings have not finally arrived, and "Wei YiZuo" Spinazzola has not been able to usher in a comeback, Roma still line up the best lineup they can, Pellegrini returned from injury and Mkhitaryan together to form a 5-3-2 system of double central defenders, and the frontcourt is still the twin star combination of Abraham and Olo.
However, Roma, whose lineup is close to full, faced with a crippled AC Milan (Casey participated in the African Cup of Nations, many players were infected with the new crown, and the back line could only send a 21-year-old center-back combination), did not play the expected effect, Roma received a lot of resistance in terms of advancement, and the defensive end did not come up with a tough performance similar to the battle against Atalanta.
In fact, in the face of AC Milan with the old and new youth guards, Mourinho is consciously pressing the rhythm of the game in the opening stage, we said earlier, Roma do not have excellent wingers, the midfield is only so-so can be used, then, the natural shortcomings of this lineup are obvious, the overall propulsion ability is insufficient, and playing a quick counterattack is basically only the "Huashan road" of the frontcourt Twins.
Therefore, if Roma want to win ac Milan, basically have to follow the same path as playing Atalanta before, give up the main offensive right on the scene, first ensure that the backfield can be squatted first, and then wait for the opportunity to poke the ball to the front court Twins, the middle road is also pressed on a wave, can touch a fish in the water, no way, there is no side road, the fulcrum of the center is not strong, and the playing style can only be so shabby.
Unfortunately, only 8 minutes after the opening of Roma, the penalty sent by Abraham disrupted Mourinho's overall layout, here I will not discuss whether the penalty is correct or not, I do not have the conditions to see that shot clearly, but I believe that there is always someone who can see clearly.
Rome, which is behind early in the score, faces a major choice and presses out? Or continue to wait for the right moment? Roma chose the latter, after all, the game has just begun, and there is still a lot of time to spend with the opponent, but it is clear that the premature goal conceded still affects the mood of the Roma players.
Viña's mistake in the 17th minute of the return pass completely pulled Roma into a place of perdition, and whether this Roma team can take advantage of the confrontation with strong teams depends largely on how high the quality of the defense is, which can not only send pressure and anxiety to the opponent, but also make their players more and more confident in implementing the established strategy.
Roma did not make a good start, and it was impossible to get a good result, which was completely reasonable. Because with the existing composition of Roma' personnel, it is not good to play the pressure of the frontcourt, of course, this style of play is not advocated and good at by Mourinho, he prefers to pull the formation apart a certain depth, focusing on rapid attack and defense conversion.
After the game, Mourinho slammed the referee's decision scale, and repeatedly stressed that "Roma is only a mid-range team, and there is a big gap between technical ability and AC Milan." ”
The referee's problem, I still don't talk about it, it is true that many shots, with the resources I can grasp, are not careful, and besides, I have not completely tracked other teams in Serie A, and I do not know whether the referee's decision scale is uniform.
I will only talk about Mourinho's emphasis on the "lack of technical ability of the players", personally I think this statement is not very appropriate, although it is true, but in the current situation of Rome, it is impossible to replace the entire team for Mourinho at once, and in the next game, Mourinho will most likely rely on these "not very good" players.
Even in the face of the reporter's difficulties, even if there is a stomach full of grievances and nowhere to tell, some things are better to dilute some. Good friends, think Mourinho is throwing the pot again, but I still said before, a pig can not pass the Tsinghua, in the end should blame the pig? Or blame the keeper?
The difficulty of the establishment period lies in this, the obvious fact is that the players are insufficient, but it can not be overstated, after all, the overall strength of the team is to increase little by little, there is no way to change the blood like some local tycoon teams, or to slowly coax them to achieve a smooth transition, even if Rome does not require records this season, it can not collapse is not?
