Rome, Champions race: Mourinho brakes, but the fans believe it

The radios, on Easter Sunday, basically take a break. Social media, no, never. But in any case, between the ether and the web, there was already the belief that, if Juventus had braked at home with Bologna, Roma could have continued to believe in the Champions League comeback. Mourinho, at least in words, does not really think about it, he says that in Trigoria they are running for fifth place at the most, but the feeling is that in the next ten days Roma will play something more than the first leg of the Conference League.

Three away matches to be experienced all in one breath, two of which, in the championship, which will also be decisive for the championship race. Tomorrow Roma will play in Naples, next Saturday at Inter, Thursday 28 in Leicester: the impression, among the Roma players, is that with such a difficult and compressed calendar the Champions League is now compromised (even if winning at Maradona Pellegrini and teammates would go to minus three from Juventus), but in any case “arriving in mid-April with so many things at stake is precious”.

A year ago, it’s true, Roma were playing the Europa League semifinal against Manchester United, but they had completely abandoned the championship and they were a team full of injuries, with a coach, Fonseca, light years away from Trigoria. Now, however, players and the environment are compact around Mourinho and “when he is involved – the thinking of many Roma fans – nothing is impossible”. And then: there are those who say that in the next three away matches “we need to make as little turnover as possible to play them to the fullest”, those who ask “not to remove Zaniolo anymore, we can’t do without him” and those who hope “that Rome will find the strength to always win despite the need, in this moment, the home stadium “. Also because the fans will return to the Olimpico on May 1st against Bologna, the very opponent who yesterday stopped Juventus, giving us a little more hope.

Says a Roma fan on Twitter: “The fact that they are afraid is Mourinho’s victory. And that’s okay.” There are those who take it out in advance with the referees: “You will see, they will not make us fourth”, those of the calendar “remember that we must also go to Florence” and those who, looking at the calendar, find a Juventus-Lazio in the penultimate: ” And those for Juve, you will see, will be three easy points. ” The derby, as we know, never ends.
