In the early morning of January 10, Beijing time, the 21st round of Serie A, Roma lost 3 goals in 7 minutes with a 3-1 lead at home, and did not score penalties in the last minute, and was finally reversed by Juve 4-3, swallowing 2 consecutive defeats + 3 rounds without a win. After the game, Mourinho turned on the grudge mode again, once again publicly criticizing the players for being too weak and timid, as well as the poor execution of the substitute players.
Losing to AC Milan in the last round, Mourinho fired widely in an interview after the game, telling both the players and the referee that he had not admitted his mistake. This time it was reversed 4-3 by Juve, and Mourinho also threw the pot on the players.
70 minutes ago, Roma took a 3-1 lead. After conceding a goal in the 70th minute, Mourinho reacted immediately, replacing Gian Jr. with Uzbek striker Shomurodov. Mourinho has always been known for his god substitutions, but he did not expect to concede two goals in a row after a substitution and was instantly overtaken 4-3.
Mourinho said: "My idea is to press high up front and take the rhythm of the game into my own hands. We had a strong start to the game and the team did control the game in the first 70 minutes. I don't understand why I played so well 70 minutes ago and then suddenly collapsed. Little Gian played well, and after I replaced him, the players who came on the bench got the rhythm of the game out of hand. ”
"When Juve went 2-3, I didn't panic, but my players panicked and the players were choked by fear. When you're in trouble, you have to respond toughly, but some of us in the squad are too good to say something a little harsher. ”
Roma's substitute players, in addition to Shomurodov, who brought in for 17.5 million euros, also include Mayoral and Carles Perez. Mourinho threw the pot at the players who came on as substitutes, but didn't think he had made a mistake in the substitution adjustment.
Mourinho complained all day that his squad was not good, and after losing to AC Milan, he bluntly said that Roma's existing squad was the squad of the mid-serie A team, but in fact Roma net invested nearly 100 million euros last summer, second only to Manchester United and Arsenal in Europe's five major leagues, and spent more than Guardiola's Manchester City.
