The Portuguese coach’s Roma demonstrate in Tirana against another historic, Feyenoord, the first final of the Conference League
Jose Mourinho is back in a European final. Away from the glamor of that Champions League the Portuguese coach won with Porto in 2004 and with Inter Milan in 2010, and a step behind the Europa League that started it all for the Setubal player in 2003, before returning to control of Manchester United in 2017, the first edition of the Conference League offers ‘The Special One’ the opportunity to close the circle with its fifth continental crown. It comes at an ideal time, just as he seems to have started downhill as a technician with five years with no new conquests to bring to his particular showcases. Hence his tears of happiness after beating Leicester in the semi-finals.
His Roma and another historic, Feyenoord, brighten up the final in Tirana, the first of this newly established league that got bigger and bigger as the round went on. For more than three decades, since 1991, the ‘gialorossa’ fans have been waiting for a European final. The UEFA Cup then escaped, in favor of another Italian team, Inter. The descendants of Rómulo and Remo also achieved glory in 1984, in that European Cup snatched by Liverpool during the Olympics of the transalpine capital, so outside the Fairs Cup trophy of 1961, not officially recognized, Mourinho you have the opportunity to to inscribe your name in golden letters in Roman history.
Take on Feyenoord, another illustrious European, one step behind the continent’s giants, but with quite a few milestones in their history. Above all the European Cup I 1970, but that same year also the Intercontinental Cup and the UEFA Cups of 1974 and 2002, the last highlight for the Rotterdam club, far removed from the final rounds of the continental tournaments of the last two decades.
Duel of teams with pedigree but also of gunners, because while Roma entrusted the nine goals of the Englishman Tammy Abraham in the competition, 27 of all competitions this season, Feyenoord calls on the ten goals in the Nigerian tournament Cyriel Dessers, for the time being the best scorer in a Conference League looking for its first owner.
