Mourinho is responsible for the humiliating defeat of AS Roma

By db-admin

DBasia.news – AS Roma suffered a humiliating defeat when they traveled to Bodo/Glimt headquarters in the 2021-2022 Conference League. Jose Mourinho as coach takes full responsibility for this result.

Roma lost 1-6 to Bodo/Glimt in the match which took place at Aspmyra Stadium, Thursday (21/10) night WIB. This is the first time Mourinho’s team has conceded six goals in one game.

The six Bodo/Glimt goals were scored by Erik Botheim (8′ and 52′), Patrick Berg 20′), Ola Solbakken (71′ and 80′), Amahi Pellegrino (78′). While Roma were only able to reply once through the action of Carles Perez (28′).

Mourinho deserves to be responsible for this humiliating defeat to Roma. His decision to play many back-up players proved to be a blunder.

But it’s not like Mourinho if he can’t defend himself. He emphasized that he had no other choice but to rotate his squad.

“I decided to play with this line-up, so the responsibility lies with me. I did it with good intentions, to give an opportunity to those who work hard and rotate the squad on synthetic pitches in the cold,” Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia.

“We lost against a team that showed better quality in the last game. As simple as that.”

This defeat was even used by Mourinho to satirize the management of Rome. He openly acknowledged the lack of quality in the core players and Il Giallorossi coating.

“If I can always play with the same starter, then I will. It’s risky, because we have a huge quality gap between the two groups of players.”

“I never hide the fact that we are a team with real limitations. We have 13 players who represent one team, while the others are on a different level.”

Mourinho had no choice but to rotate players. This is because Rome is undergoing a busy schedule.

At the weekend, Roma are scheduled to host Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico. This match is very crucial because it affects their position at the top of the Serie A standings.

“If I play with the first team, someone may be injured. Then we will concede four or five goals against Napoli on Sunday and that decision is also considered wrong.”
