Roma entered the final of the European Union Cup, the opponent is Feyenoord, Mourinho is really powerful, becoming the first coach in history to lead the team into the Champions League, Europa League, European Union Cup finals, if this time to win the championship, it is also the first coach to complete the three major European club cup Grand Slams, so defensive coaches, in the cup is really good to use, this game against Leicester City, Roma did find the weakness of the other side, and won, this may be where Rome became stronger this year?
It has to be said that Smalling performed well in the final stages of the game, becoming the core of the team and making the team's defense stronger
Smalling has performed very well recently, he has become the core of the team's centre-back, it is not easy, after all, this is a player who lost at Manchester United, and now he is the core of Roma's centre-back, is not a bit interesting, at least it looks like some of the players that Manchester United has recently sold, as if they are all like this. Ibanez and Mancini also performed well, the centre-back line performed well, but in another key part, the wing-backs changed the most.
Zalevsky continues to have a consistent performance, which is Roma's biggest discovery this season, will Spinazzola still have a chance to come back? Of course, Spinazzola is a good full-back after all, very strong, and this year Zalevsky is getting better and better, more and more like the team's full-back core. He didn't do well in this game, and the team looks like the left wing-back doesn't need to buy a new person? This game was played on the flanks.
The performance of the midfield is OK, which may be the team's strongest midfield combination after Mkhitaryan
The combination of Oliveira and Christante worked well, there was no particularly poor play in this game, there was no particularly eye-catching play, and without Mkhitaryan, this team's performance was already very normal. It can't be said that this combination can't be used, but if Roma want to go further, the midfield still needs to be replaced, the creativity of the midfield is not enough, and the defensive ability is not stable. Under such circumstances, it is also very powerful to defeat Leicester City.
Pellegrini seems to have performance in the key game, several games that have performed well this year, it seems to be key games, the Same is true for the European Union Cup, there are assists and goals in key games, the assists in this game are beautiful, so that Abraham completed the header, this pass makes Abraham's header simple, and it is obvious that the opposing centre-back can not receive the ball. Zagnolo is still in poor shape, very much in line with the characteristics of Roma this season, and under normal circumstances, Zagnolo and Pellegrini cannot have good form at the same time. Is this a problem that Mourinho doesn't seem to have solved all season?
Did Abraham prove himself in this game?
Abraham proved himself in this game, and judging from the performance of the game, Abraham's goal was crucial to bring the team to the final. Of course, because the opponent is Leicester City, his performance in Chelsea last year, playing Leicester City is also quite good, so he is more confident, coupled with the opponent's high-altitude ball defense is not good, Abraham finally scored by the header, which is also the most interesting part of this game. Abraham's technique is indeed rough, but after all, he has height and the ability to score headers. Leicester City conceded too many set-pieces this season, and before Tammy Abraham scored, the opposing defender jumped hard, but there was still a long way to go from Abraham's head, so it was normal to lose.
The final still needs him to play, after all, he is a center forward, although it is a center who wastes scoring opportunities, but in the end, Mourinho is strong, this game directly finds the opponent's defensive weaknesses, has been playing, and finally has a goal, and the player is strictly implementing his tactics, strong. Without Jose Mourinho, it would not have been possible for this team to reach the final of the UEFA Cup.
