The Rome of Jose Mourinho puzzles. He can both fight and win against the greatest, and crumble before the weakest rival. This Tuesday the second happened, with the ‘giallorossi’ going down against the bottom team in Serie A, a Cremonese that he had never won a game and that he had escaped in last place. In fact, the only two victories this season for the Cremona team were against Mou’s men (1-2 in Coppa and 2-1 in Serie A). Seeing is believing.
Rome lost her mind in a meeting where Mourinho ended up going home. The Portuguese returned to show his poor form and headed to the changing rooms prematurely after his team failed to react, slipping into third place and even out of the ‘Champions zone’.
He left the Rome at the Olímpico the euphoria, intensity and aggressiveness they showed in the tie against Salzburg in the Europa League. In the beginning there was a rather loose version of a ‘gianlorosso’ ensemble that he formed unusual players as umbrella either Wijnaldum.
It didn’t take long for the Cremonese to take advantage of the weak version of Rome. He took the lead before the first quarter of an hour with a fine goal from Tsdjout, a volley with his left foot from the edge of the area that slipped into the top corner of the goal that Rui Patricio defended.
The surprise shocked a Roma who tried to pull themselves together without success. That’s not the party Dybala either pellegrinisomething that strongly accused a team that is very difficult to build and the danger is usually born from the boots of both.
But in time to sign a comeback, twenty more, he showed up Spinazzolla with a check that Mancini saw perfectly. The Italian winger was left alone and put the tie at one, a goal that woke up his team, that connected them and which was the impulse towards the attack that caused the nervousness of a Cremonese that he thought again that he was losing a new opportunity to debut.
The changes by Mourinho, who watched the second half from the stands when he was sent off, took effect. Solbakken, matic, Abraham and The Shaarawy they took more risks in ten minutes than they did in the remaining seventy, and if not for a saving hand from Carnesecchi, El Shaarawy himself would have completed the comeback.
But when Roma’s goal was close, came an isolated game of the locals that ended in a penalty modified by Ciofani which will go down in history as the one that gave the first victory of the year and in almost 27 years to Cremonese.
