AS Roma and AC Milan will square off at the Stadio Olimpico tonight in a game that could be vital in the race for the top four, if either team get the win.
As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports this morning, Roma boss Jose Mourinho is believed to be thinking of a ‘cage’ with which to create difficulties for the strong point of Milan: the left flank.
It is no secret that the majority of the danger created by Milan comes from the duo of winger Rafael Leao and left-back Theo Hernandez, which is why the Giallorossi head coach is thinking about how to combat their explosive pace and creativity.
The idea is to play Zeki Celik on the right in place of Nicola Zalewski, with the former Chelsea boss believing that the Turk is more suited to trying to limit Leao’s physicality and the trio of centre-backs behind – Mancini, Kumbulla and Ibanez – will give him a hand.
more room for diaz to make a move on the right 😀
Mourinho plan throughout his whole career has been park the bus and play on the counter.
Yes it was a game played at a subdued pace ,that’s not surprising as that’s the way Roma set up ,that stopped the pace of Rafeo leao ,and Thea Hernandez and Roma relied on attacks on the break ..
That said it’s not disaster ,and i still believe we will finish in the top four . we can play much better and we will have to …
