Jose Mourinho made the headlines in a wholesome post-match interview where he targeted the attention towards Roma’s debutant Francesco D’Alessio. The 19-year-old player has been a lifelong Roma fan and has been trying to break through into the first team. However, ‘The special one’ was the manager who gave him his first start at the club in front of 50,000 people at the highest stage.

In their recent Europa League Match against Servette FC, Roma had a successful outing. They were dominant in their performances as they won the match comfortably 4-0 against the Swiss side.

With another goal in the match, Romelu Lukaku scored 5 times this season. This showcases a significant resurgence in his form since his Champions League final horror. The Belgian striker has been vital for Mourinho, who counts upon him and Paolo Dybala. Andrea Belloti and Lorenzo Pellegrini also managed to get on the scoresheet, showcasing their scoring abilities and the caliber to rise on the occasion.

AS Roma have had a shocking start to the Serie A, one of their worst. They currently sit 13th in the league, irrespective of their second place in the Europa League. As Mourinho looks to change the direction of the ship he is sailing with the Italian side, he certainly has a massive job at his hands. Nonetheless, the Portuguese manager seems never to take any pressure as he reminded the media recently that he got the club to two consecutive European finals and will eventually improve.
