On October 30, Beijing time, the 11th round of Serie A ended a strong matchup, and Atalanta drew 2-2 at home with Lazio. Pedri and Immobile contributed to Lazio, while Duvan Zapata and De Jong en equalised for Atalanta. The 2-2 match undoubtedly made Mourinho happy, and no matter what the ending of Roma against Milan, Mourinho's team can stabilize the top 4 in Serie A.
In this battle, Lazio, who played away, took the lead in scoring! Roma veteran Pedro took the lead for Lazio in the 17th minute It is worth noting that Mourinho voluntarily abandoned Pedro after entering Rome, and the latter scored a goal against Roma to make Mourinho faceless. Duwan Zapata then helped Atalanta equalize, as Mobile helped Lazio come back in the lead again, with De Jong completing the draw in the 94th minute. The two main teams in Serie A each scored 1 point, and after 11 rounds, they did not have the opportunity to rush into the top 4.
Before the game, it was Atalanta and Lazio who could threaten Rome's rankings, and the difference between the two teams and Roma was 1 and 2 points respectively. There is no doubt that once this game is won or lost, then the pressure will come to Roma's side. Fortunately, there was no winner between Lazio and Atalanta, which gave Mourinho a sigh of relief. You know, Roma's opponent in this round is AC Milan, and there is a clear gap between the two teams' status this season, and even Mourinho can't guarantee that Roma can win. Now, regardless of Roma's fate against Milan, Mourinho will retain his position in Serie A as 4th.
Since Mourinho came to Rome, the team has improved significantly. At least in the case of a large-scale recovery of the Serie A team, Roma has stabilized the situation. In addition to this, Roma are the only team that can face Napoli this season, with Mourinho's side ending a nine-game winning streak. In the last round of the league, Mourinho's team beat Cagliari, which made Roma's morale rise like never before. Today, Rome has gained in all aspects, and this time it has a natural advantage over AC Milan.
Of course, for Mourinho, the Serie A title race will be quite difficult, after all, Roma's squad depth is there. Theoretically, Mourinho's first task is to help Roma qualify for the Champions League, but it is not an easy task. Obviously, the key to Roma's competition is still in the strong dialogue, and this time facing AC Milan is another difficult test!
