As the "top class" of world football, Mourinho can always attract attention. In the early morning of February 20, Beijing time, the 26th round of Serie A, Roma hosted Verona. 2-2, Roma scored 1 point. In a desperate 0-2 situation, Mourinho made two substitutions and scored two consecutive goals to equalize. However, Mourinho was sent off in the 91st minute.

Gian and Tammy Abraham lead Roma's forward line, Verona is in a 3421 formation, and Simeone Jr. singles.
Rome, which has not tasted victory in the last 3 games, was hit at the beginning. In the 5th minute, Verona played a wonderful free-kick combination: cross, straight, and then cross, Barack scored to give Verona a 1-0 lead!
The opening was passive, and Roma coach Mourinho looked livid and anxious. Such a love is difficult for crazy people to accept.
In the 20th minute, Roma conceded another goal. Verona played a smooth passing match, and Roma's 7-man defense was like a scattered sand, completely unorganized, layered, and full of loopholes. Caprari inverted triangle return pass, Tameze followed up with a push to win, Verona 2-0!
Totti and De Rossi
Roma in the first half, the performance was unbearable: only 1 shot on goal, 0 shots on target, the whole team was depressed. Roma's two legendary superstars, Totti and De Rossi, are both watching at the Olympic Stadium. Such a Rome obviously could not satisfy Totti and De Rossi.
Mourinho changed 2 people in a row, Veleto and Zarevski came off the bench, and oliveira and Viña, who performed poorly, were replaced. In the 62nd minute, Mourinho made another substitution, with Volpato replacing Gian. Three minutes after the substitution, Roma scored: in a corner kick melee, Volpato catapulted and scored!
Mourinho's substitution worked wonders! The 18-year-old, Walpato, became the youngest scorer in Serie A this season.
In the 84th minute, Roma equalised! It was another corner attack, and the substitute BoyEr scored a shot to make it 2-2!
It was another substitution for Jose Mourinho: the 19-year-old Bove came on in the 78th minute, and just six minutes later, the youngster scored his debut serie A goal!
In the 91st minute, Mourinho roared at the referee and was sent off with a red card! Before leaving, Mourinho also gracefully hugged the opposing manager.
From 0-2 to 2-2, Mourinho's Roma stubbornly scored a point! It was a very Mourinho game: in a desperate situation, the madman made a desperate bet and boldly used young players, 18-year-old Volpato, 19-year-old Boffer, to become Roma's "savior". However, Mourinho paid the price of a red card for his temper, and he was both a god and a demon.
