In the early morning of December 18, Beijing time, in a key match in the 16th round of Serie A, Roma lost 0-2 away to Bologna.
This game is very important for Roma, who are tied on points with Bologna before this round and are temporarily fourth on goal difference.
Without the injured Dybala, Romelu Lukaku and Zalewski were suspended after receiving red cards in the last round, and Mourinho had to continue to change his starting line-up.
At half-time, Jose Mourinho made a substitution, with former prodigy Sanchez coming on. However, after only 18 minutes on the field, Mourinho made another substitution, and Sanchez was directly replaced!
This is a rare occurrence in the top flight. In the absence of injuries or other unforeseen circumstances, it is extremely humiliating for a substitute to be substituted after 18 minutes on the pitch.
The outside world is also paying attention to Mourinho's post-match speech, after all, after this game, Roma has fallen to seventh place, and Mourinho, who is in a bad mood, will bombard Sanchez?
The answer is no, and after the game, Mourinho said in an interview: "I want to publicly apologize to Renato [Sanchez]. I feel like what I'm doing is going to be very difficult for a footballer and of course it's hard for me. I think I've done this three or four times in my career, and I apologize to him again. ”
Mourinho also spoke about his future: "I haven't talked to the management yet, but I want to continue at Roma. Their fans are unique. It will be difficult for me to leave the team. If the separation does happen, it's not my own decision. ”
However, Mourinho also said: "We need to seriously consider the situation of fair financial competition. It would also be better to play with a few young players. ”
