Thiago Motta and Jose Mourinho They signed for a draw but, while Bologna have said it all in this Serie A, the 0-0 now leaves Roma six points behind the Champions League places three days before the end of the championship in Italy.
The ‘giallorossi’, sixth, occupy the Conference League position after adding their fifth consecutive day without a win, iUndoubtedly influenced by injuries and the need to balance efforts before the Europa League semifinal facing Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen. Last Thursday, 1-0 in the Olympic and next, the return to Germany.
Forced by circumstances and casualties, Mourinho did not even call for the goal Rui Patricio and Paulo Dybalawhile he left headlines such as Mancini, Spinazzola, Pellegrini, Matic and Abraham. Roma played a very young team, featuring the Belgian goalkeeper’s Serie A debut Matte Svilar (23 years old) and the premiere as a starter on the side Filippo Missori (19).
Bologna, located in a quiet area of the table and with nothing at stake, started well, dominating the game, even without creating a danger in attack. Svilar he only had to intervene to deflect a shot over the crossbar Riccardo Orsolini (18′).
Solbakken and Zalewski tested this
Roma, despite the many novelties in their lineup, showed a recognizable game, in true Mourinho style, waiting to go on the counter. Ola Solbakken and Nicola Zalewski sought to unbalance the wings with their quality and one of their prisoners, the Pole gave way back to Andrea Bellotti, that the shot is covered by the local goal Lukasz Skorupski (24′).
It was a game with few chances, although the team that sought the most success in the second half was Roma against a Bologna that lacked attacking power and resigned to keeping the 0-0.
Çelik, another wounded
Mourinho’s changes in the 54th minute confirmed this feeling. Gianluca Mancini entered the injured Zeki Çelik, another who joined the infirmary, while tammy abraham revived Roma’s attacking game.
Soon they entered Lorenzo Pellegrini and Nemanja Matic. Roma tried until the end looking for a direct game against Abraham, but the result was 0-0
