At 22:00 beijing time on February 5, the 24th round of Serie A, Roma sat at home to face Genoa.
In the first half, the two teams just began to create few scoring opportunities, Roma began to exert force in the second half and made many kills; in the second half, Roma basically besieged Genoa, Gian caused Leo Ostigard to leave the red card, Roma 11 to 10 more soldiers to the city, the 91st minute of the game Zaniolo scored a long-range goal, but the referee looked at the VAR and determined that Abraham had fouled before, Zaniolo left the red card, 3 points changed to 1 point, Mourinho rushed into the pitch after the game to question the referee, but nothing had done anything.
In the end, Roma won 0-0 at home to Genoa, 3 points became 1 point, and it was more difficult to compete for four in the season.
0-0, Roma's weak forward, the overall advantage but difficult to win, the referee blew off Zaniolo's killer goal is very controversial!
The battle reignited after the winter break in Serie A, with Roma playing at home to relegation zone side Genoa in the 24th round of the league, with Mourinho eager to lead the Red Wolves to three points. Roma faced the less powerful Genoa and had the upper hand, and the next 60 minutes of the game could be said to be a siege, but Roma did not score a deadly goal from a distance by Zaniolo until the 91st minute of the game. But VAR suddenly stepped in and prompted the referee Abraham to foul first, and the referee chose to cancel Roma's goal after seeing VAR. Roma changed from 3 points to 1 point, Mourinho immediately rushed to the crown and rushed into the stadium to question the referee, but still failed to change the decision.
Throughout the game, Roma had 62.9% of the ball and had 23 shots on goal, 13 more than Genoa, but both sides shot 3 on target. It can be said that Roma is weak, 23 shots on goal in exchange for 3 shots, red wolves attackers are "blind sniper". Serie A referees have not been "friendly" to Mourinho this season, and Roma have faced controversial penalties in many matches. Roma can't beat second-to-last Genoa at home and has struggled to match this season, which can be said to be basically impossible.
