1-0: Mourinho returns Roma to glory

14 long years have to pass for Romethat the only European title dated the 1960-61 season, once again raised the trophy after winning the Coppa Italia in 2008. In his first year in the Italian capital, Jose Mourinho brought the ‘giallorossi’ team back to glory, winning (1-0) in the final Feyenoord thanks for the sole purpose Nicolo Zaniolo and thus became the first champion of the new Conference League, the bronze competition of European football.

The Portuguese coach, with doubts about Henrikh Mkhitaryanwas able to fight his gala eleven behind the Armenian playmaker Zaniolo Y Tammy Abrahamits human purpose Rome and second highest scorer in the competition, with nine goals, just behind Cyriel Dessers, author of ten goals in 13 games. The striker of Nigerian nationality, on loan from Genk Belgian, served as a reference to the point of an attack Feyenoord that its captain was finally under the stick, Justin Bijlow. Arne Slot He had already warned at the press conference before the final in Tirana that if the Dutch international, who had not played due to injury for two and a half months, was available, he would be able to play.

And so it is, despite the fact that its good Bijlow he barely intervened in a first action that did not live up to the purpose of Zaniolo at 32 ‘. In the first shot between the three posts of the match, Massa’s talented attacker took advantage of a big Austrian mistake. Gernot Traunerwhich is very wrong with a long shipment of Gianluca Mancinito put his team ahead and thus achieve his fifth goal in ten Conference League games, the eighth in all competitions this year.

The 1-0 ignited the spirit of the Rotterdam team players and deesers he was with it Chris Smalling after a duel of the two within the Roman area that ended in Lorenzo Pellegrini reminded. I have seen yellow cardboard before Trauner for cutting one against Abraham when the English striker went straight towards the Dutch goal. The Turk Orkun Kökcuwith the missile stopped in two stages Rui PatricioY Tyrell Malaciawhich left some fine detail ascending the left wing, caused, on the edge of the break, the first moment of shock of a Rome which until now have been completely handcuffed to those of Space.

Feyenoord Overwhelmer

Ang Feyenoord He came out overwhelming after going through the locker room and, in just five minutes, he had three consecutive chances, each much clearer. Una Manciniexceeded by Traunercleared a corner kick against his own post that ended with Rui Patricio flying to avoid that, in denial, Guus Til will equalize the contest. Moments later, the European champion once again showed off with Portugal by saving from a shot from malacia who touched the left post of his goal before the bottom line disappeared. When the fear ended, controversy began. Mark Senesi fell asleep and slightly held Abraham when he turned around Bijlowbut neither István Kovacs or the VAR is considering the action of the Argentine central defender to be punished.

Mourinho reacts to the entry Leonardo Spinazzola Y Jordan Veretout and it was certainly a distant shot from the French who repelled Bijlowin his first intervention of the night, the only noticeable in the last half hour was that he knew how numb the Rome. ‘The Special One’ has won his poker tournament of continental titles- two Champions Leagues, two Europa Leagues and this Conference- and he is immortal in the eternal city. Long live Mou!
