After Roma lost to Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia, manager Jose Mourinho was in the dressing room and criticized roma players. These criticisms are considered correct by most people.
Foreign media reported that many people understand that Mourinho's criticism of the players is an incentive. But some Roma players have become accustomed to criticism of Mourinho and have not generated additional momentum. There are also players who are upset that someone leaked Mourinho's speech to the outside world.
At the current stage, Roma's dressing room leaders are on the side of Mourinho, hoping that the team will be able to respond positively to Mourinho's criticism in the next round against Sassuolo.
On the fan side, Mourinho still has the support of most Roma fans.
Roma's management is still supportive of Mourinho, and sporting director Pinto naturally needless to say, boss Friedkin and sons will not in principle involve the coach's management of players.
It's clear to Roma executives that they won't automatically become title contenders just by hiring one of the best managers in the world, and hiring Mourinho is just the beginning of a long-term plan.
In the past two seasons under Paul Fonseca, Roma have scored just four points against the top teams in Serie A. The Roma players at that time are basically still playing in the team today.
Although Roma made reinforcements after the arrival of Mourinho, it was basically a seam repair, and only a few players could bring much-needed experience to Roma.
Even if the Premier League's tens of millions and hundreds of millions of pounds of reinforcements (such as Manchester United's Sancho, Varane, etc.) are not very good, it is not reasonable to expect Roma to change the status quo of the team with ten million euros of reinforcements and millions of euros of loans.
In fact, with the exception of a few people who only care about their own reputation and are incompetent, criticizing players is something that all coaches do. But many people are focusing solely on Mourinho, this is because Mourinho has a unique charm in football, he has a huge fan, which means that the four words "Mourinho" are very valuable, which is why the media, whether it is the positive side or the opposite side, everyone is paying attention.
In addition, Mourinho's past record is too brilliant, defeating teams with huge fans such as Barca and Manchester United. After Mourinho left Manchester United, some opposing fans found opportunities to vent their previously suppressed dissatisfaction. Take this opportunity to spit it out.
