A man touched. And upset after the beating conceded.José Mourinho presented himself disappointed at the microphone of DAZN after the bitter defeat of his team against Genoa on Thursday evening (1-4). And despite a clear score, he long believed in a comeback for his team in this meeting: “We started badly, before a reaction with the equalizer. After the 2-2 goal canceled for offside (goal scored by Lukaku, then signaled in an offside position), we felt that we could have equalized. The rest of the match, on the other hand, could have gone downhill: “After the 3-1, match over. The 4th goal is out of context, it’s the kind of evening that can end in disaster. It can even end with five, six goals… It’s anecdotal. » Not a good evening to be a supporter of the she-wolf then.
The situation is not brilliant within the club in the Italian capital. AS Roma are in 16th place in the standings with only five points gleaned from six matches played, this is the worst start to the championship since the 2010-2011 season. The coach of the Roman club made no secret of it: “It’s true that this is the worst start to the season of my career.” But he still insisted on making Mourinho with a little sentence on his record: “But this club had never made two European finals” (victory against Feyenoord in the Conference League and defeat against West Ham in the Europa League). Before leaving, he also wanted to reassure the supporters: “We have no time to cry. Starting tomorrow, we will be at work for the next match.”
