AS Roma Fall at home to Bodo/Glimt

DBasia.news – Bodo/Glimt are back against AS Roma in the quarter-finals of the Conference League. Roma have a bitter experience against the Norwegian side having previously met in the group stage.

Roma drew once (2-2), lost once (1-6) in the group stage against Bodo/Glimt. The fact that Kjetil Knutsen’s team was the scourge of Jose Mourinho’s Roma also became a reality when the two teams clashed in the quarter-finals.

In the first leg which was held at Aspmyra Stadium, Friday (08/04) early morning WIB, Roma lost 1-2 to goals from Ulrik Saltnes and Hugo Vetlesen which were reduced by goals from Lorenzo Pellegrini. Once again, Bodo/Glimt beat Roma.

Roma three games in a row against Bodo/Glimt never win. The three results mean a record for Bodo/Glimt. According to Mirror Bodo/Glimt match European giants Real Madrid’s record as the only club to have faced Mourinho’s side – at least – three times without losing.

Bodo/Glimt and the comparison with Madrid who have 13 Champions League titles is definitely an honor. Typical of Mourinho, he intelligently quibbles in giving reasons why Roma struggle against Bodo/Glimt.

“The two goals came from set pieces and deflections. We also scored a lot of goals from set-piece situations, but it’s good to score, which is bad to concede. The first goal was ridiculous,” Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia.

“To be honest, the thing that worries me the most is the injury to (Gianluca) Mancini. It’s worrying, it’s something caused by playing on plastic grass.”

“We lost 1-2, we have the second leg to play at the Olimpico in front of our fans and I have no problem saying now that I feel we are favorites to reach the semi-finals.”

“I have full faith in my players, in the stadium, the support from our fans. Obviously, Bodo/Glimt are a difficult team, but I also have confidence we will have a good referee and assistant in the second leg.”

“When we played in Rome against them there were two very clear penalties for us that the referee didn’t see, while today there were two moves that were marked offside and the first half ended in a ridiculous situation when the offside flag was raised. throw-ins, which shows his level.”
