On Thursday, José Mourinho’s Roma qualified for their second European final in two years. An impressive record which reinforces the certainties of PSG on its target as coach. Antonio Cassano is not as dithyrambic.
Thursday evening, José Mourinho further strengthened his reputation on the European level and perhaps definitively convinced PSG to take him this summer. The Portuguese led Roma to a second European final in two years. After its coronation in the Europa League conference last season, the giallorossi formation is in the final of the top cup, the Europa League. AS Roma took over Bayer Leverkusen in the semi-finals. After winning the first leg 1-0 at the Stadio Olympico, the Romans held Germany 0-0 in the return leg.
Mourinho’s game is too poor for Cassano
As often in the teams led by Mourinho, victory was ensured by a defensive or even restrictive strategy. Faced with Bayer, Roma completely left the game to their opponent. We only saw chances for Xabi Alonso’s team, who struck 23 times on goal. Opposite, La Louve did not really scare the public of Leverkusen. The Roman team only scored once in 90 minutes! A boring copy that did not please his former player, the boiling Antonio Cassano. The latter had harsh words regarding José Mourinho and his game tactics.
« It is not possible that, from beginning to end, there will be fights and skirmishes. They fell to the ground and didn’t play half a game in 98 minutes. […] What is he going to say? I got to the final, I won, I don’t care. Kudos to Rome, but they screwed up. As Napoleon said, a lucky commander is better than a strong commander. He is very lucky, he is impressive. He sucks, but we will say that last year he won the Europa League Conference and now he is in the final of the Europa League. We will keep looking for results “, he dropped bitter in a video on Instagram. A way to show PSG supporters that with José Mourinho the Parisian game will not be better than under Galtier. However, if the Portuguese is as effective in the European Cup as since the start of his career, PSG will be happy with it.
