In the early hours of this morning, Roma played a pre-season match against Tottenham Hotspur.
Compared with last season, the 2 teams have a lot of new signings,
Roma have introduced new stars such as Dybala and Nemanja Matic.
Spurs also spent a lot of money this summer to bring in new signings such as Richarlison, Perisic and Bisuma.
The start of this game, the 2 teams are poured out, and the main force of the team is almost all on the field,
Roma, Dybala, Tammy Abraham and Zaniolo played, and Spurs, Son Heung-min and Kane led the starters.
The little magic fairy Dybala, who only joined the team not long ago, integrated into the team quickly, he assisted Ibanez to score the only goal,
In the end, Mourinho's Roma team won 1-0 against the old home team Tottenham Hotspur.
Although this game is a pre-season game, Mourinho and Conte pay more attention,
For Tottenham Hotspur, there is still a week to go before the Premier League starts, and they urgently need to run into the squad.
As a result, Conte put on the 352 formation he was best at, and the main players were almost all in place.
Mourinho certainly will not miss this opportunity to train with strong teams,
He sent this forward attacking combination with Dybala, Abraham, Zaniolo as the core,
If nothing else, it should be the main combination of the team in Serie A this season.
From the perspective of the whole field, Tottenham Hotspur has the advantage in attack,
But their attack is thunderous, rain is small,
Although they have a terrifying Son Heung-min, Kane combination, but in front of the Mourinho-style defense is not able to score goals,
After all, Sun Kai, as the proud disciple of Mourinho in the past, he knew them well, so it was normal that they could not open the door of the Roma team.
Roma played steadily, relying on high-quality attack and impregnable defense, defeating their opponents,
Although this game is a warm-up game,
But judging from the lineups of both sides, they did not seem to be a warm-up match, and obviously played a real game.
Roma beat Premier League powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur,
Perhaps this shows that they have the ability to compete for the top 4 or even win the championship in Serie A this season.
Of course, the league has not yet started, and it is too early to conclude,
However, judging from Mourinho's platooning in this game and the performance of Roma players,
They are more stable and mature than last season.
In particular, the addition of Dybala has enriched the team's offensive routines.
At the moment, they seem to be missing a strong back.
When it comes to the problem of Roma's back, Wijnaldum of Greater Paris has frequently reported scandals with the team in recent days.
According to the Milano Sport newspaper, Roma and Paris have accelerated their contact on the transfer of Wijnaldum.
The transaction may be agreed on a lease + forced buyout,
Wijnaldum has expressed his willingness to give up part of the bonus in the contract, which is actually equivalent to a self-reduction in annual salary.
If the previous rumors are true, Wijnaldum will join Roma after August 1.
According to reports, Roma fans are enthusiastic about Wijnaldum's imminent arrival, and Roma aim to sign Wijnaldum early next week.
If Wijnaldum does join Roma,
Mourinho may really have the courage to challenge the Top 3 in the North, or even to storm the league championship throne.
