At 1:30 a.m. Beijing time on January 10, the 21st round of the 2021-22 Serie A season will usher in a focus battle: Roma vs Juventus.
As the representative teams of Rome and Turin, Roma and Juventus can be said to be frustrated in Serie A. Roma are determined to return to the Champions League and bring in the world's top level manager Mourinho. Juventus, determined to regain the Serie A title, brought back meritorious manager Allegri.
Compared with the five major league teams that Mourinho has previously coached, Roma may be similar to Tottenham Hotspur and cannot provide a lot of reinforcements like Chelsea and Manchester United. But in order to help Mourinho transform the squad, Roma's investment is actually not small, investing as much as 97.75 million euros in the transfer market in the summer of 2021, 40 million euros for bringing in center Abraham from Chelsea alone, and also bringing in centre-back XiaoMurodov (17.5 million euros), left-back Vigna (13 million euros), goalkeeper Patricio (11.5 million euros), centre-back Ibanes (9 million euros out of the war), right-back Reynolds (6.75 million euros).
But halfway through the season, Mourinho found that whether it was to compete for Champions League qualification or to compete for the title trophy, it was not as easy as before.
In the last round of Serie A, Roma lost 1:3 away to AC Milan, although the penalty decision was controversial, Roma was sent off twice in the second half, but Mourinho, who has experienced hundreds of battles in his coaching career, should not be surprised by these. Conceding goals, Roma's defenders also have problems. Roma currently have 32 points in 20 serie a serie a serie streak, ranking seventh in the Serie A table, six points behind Atalanta in the fourth round of the fourth series and three points behind fifth-place Juventus.
Juventus from the Serie A consecutive championships, the Champions League can reach the final team, to the Serie A hegemony of the side, the Champions League was beaten into sixteen langs, mainly because of their own "tossing" themselves. Frequent changes in coaching, C Ronaldo's coming and going, naturally affect the sustainable development of the team. But fortunately, the family is thick, plus Allegri is really level, into December 2012, Juve has basically adapted to the days without C Ronaldo, from the 15th round of Serie A away 2:0 to Saranitana, Serie A, Champions League double line in the last 7 games 5 wins and 2 draws to remain unbeaten. According to the current momentum, among the top four in the morning and evening, there is not much problem in retaining the Champions League qualification, and wait for the revival of the Xutu hegemony next season.
Roma have won 6, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Juventus have won 6, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
The two sides have met in the last 10 times, and Roma are at a disadvantage with 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats. Roma Serie A has been 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 2 rounds, and the last 3 times serie A have played against Juve have been 1 draw and 2 losses without a win. Roma's main striker, the top scorer Abraham, was unable to play in this game because he received a red card in the last round of away games against AC Milan, and it is clear that Juventus, who played away from home, had a better chance of winning.
