Bologna never ceases to surprise and now moves up the Champions League positions after winning 2-0 and overtaking Roma in the table, who fell from fourth to seventh place. Thiago Motta can Jose Mourinhowho has been the coach at Inter and could be, according to rumors, next season on the ‘gianlorosso’ bench.
Only two defeats in 16 games reflect Bologna’s exceptional season, which is more accurate in attacking a very close match marked by friction between two teams that used each other well.
Roma miss Dybala and Lukaku
Rome, casualties weakened, especially the accused the absence of the suspended Paulo Dyaba and the suspended Romelu Lukaku, sent off on Sunday against Fiorentina.
It was a match with few chances and the first clear didn’t come until half time, when Andrea Belotti finished off a Rasmus Kristensen cross with a header taken by the goalkeeper next to the post Federico Ravaglianow the starter in place of Lukasz Skorupski, with a providential hand.
Bologna moves forward with a great choral action
Bologna held their own against Roma but offered little in attack until they got on the scoreboard with a rare collective effort that saw them break through lines of pressure from their own half. Remo Freuler He played a good through ball to Dan Ndoye, who crossed back Nikola Moro, coming from behind, will cross it into the net (37′). It has been three games since Bologna scored a goal against Roma.
Zirkzee’s talent is emerging
The purpose brought out the good qualities of Joshua Zirkzee the young talent of 22 years and one of the keys to this Bologna. At the start of the second half, the Dutch forward made it 2-0 in his view of the game by opening up with space on the right towards Lewis Ferguson, who put in a tense cross that Ndoye’s heel hit hard and Kristensen, when the ball. bounced off him, scored an own goal (48′).
Mou replaced Renato Sanches after 18 minutes!
Mourinho made a surprise change when he relieved Renato Sanches, who he brought on at half-time, after staying on the field for just 18 minutes for Edoardo Bove. The Portuguese, who was not injured, left the grass with a face of disbelief.
Roma cannot be faulted for their dedication as they pushed forward in attack but lacked the clarity of ideas to create chances. Belotti had the best again, who received it alone but Ravaglia let him down again on his way out (79′).
Roma ended a five-game unbeaten run, falling to seventh place, overtaken by Bologna, Naples and Fiorentina, and three points adrift of the Champions League positions.
