In the 2021-22 season, after the Champions League and the Europa League, UEFA launched the third level of the UEFA European Association League, referred to as the "UEFA League", Tottenham Hotspur and Roma, two teams coached by Mourinho, competing for the Champions League and Europa League qualification to enter this competition, the two are regarded as the biggest favorite to win the championship.
Tottenham and Roma have been without titles for many years, and Mourinho has failed to win the championship trophy only the last time he coached Tottenham. But if it were not for the dismissal before the League Cup final, it would not necessarily be the same result.
However, the premier league, Serie A giants, European war only attaches importance to the Champions League, falling into the Europa League is basically to deal with things, the schedule is long, the prize money is not high, lack of motivation. From this point of view, the European Union is inferior to the Europa League.
In the group stage, after Conte took over, Tottenham "voluntarily gave up" the Europa League.
Unlike Conte, Mourinho's principle is to respect every competition and fight for every title, just like the first season in charge of Manchester United has been to win the Europa League.
In the group stage, Roma have no opponents, Sofia CSKA, Luhansk Ole yah, Bode shine, who is Roma's one- and one-size-fits-all? But who would have thought that Bode from Nochao shone brightly, facing Rome, but could shake the tree with a grasshopper. In the first leg, Roma was defeated 6:1 by Bode Shine, Mourinho's career, Roma team history, how many times have there been such a miserable defeat? Returning home in the second leg, Roma were unable to avenge their opponent and were forced to draw 2-2 by Bode Shining.
At the end of the group stage, Roma won 6 games, 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss accumulated 13 points to advance to the first place in the group, scoring 18 goals and conceding 11 goals. Bode Shine 3 wins, 3 draws unbeaten and 12 points to advance to the second place in the group. Roma have only failed to win two games, and the opponent is Bode Shine, conceding 11 goals, 8 of which were scored by Bode Shine.
The knockout match Bolde shines against Group D first, the Dutch league powerhouse Alkmaar, won 2:1 at home and drew 2:2 away to advance.
It's not that the wrongdoers don't get together, the 1/4 final, Roma, Bode Shine and meet together again.
Westerners believe that "one cannot step into the same river twice", but for Jose Mourinho's Roma, facing Bode shining, not only twice, but three times.
In the first leg of the UEFA Quarterfinals, Roma away to Bode shine. Recently, Roma's record is quite outstanding, 10 wins, 5 wins and 5 draws in all competitions are unbeaten, in the Serie A successive defeats of Atalanta, Lazio two major rivals, and then fight Bode shine, is not the opportunity for revenge?
Who knows that the game is over, but the old vendetta has not been repaid and added to the hatred, 1-2, the away loss to Bode Shine. Despite returning home in the second leg, Roma have great hopes of turning over the game and qualifying. But the shining record of the three battles of Bode is quite embarrassing. In his coaching career, Mourinho has not won three consecutive games against the same pusher, and has only appeared against Real Madrid before.
Losing the match, Mourinho was not convinced, considering it a "non-war crime": "What worries me the most is Mancini's injury, which I think is caused by plastic artificial turf. Today in the first half, the two attacks we could score were blown offside by the referee, and the way the second half ended was even funnier, we were both blown offside when we conceded the ball, which showed the level of the referee. ”
Mourinho is also full of confidence in the second leg of the round, "With the fans, we have the second half to play at the Roma Olympic and I think we are more likely to reach the semi-finals." ”
