Venezia celebrates, Mourinho goes through the crisis. The 3-2 with which the home team ignites Penzo and puts Roma to the theater is a swing of emotions, at the end of which the Giallorossi return home with the second defeat in a row, the fifth in the league, and the certainty that, net of the arbitration controversies, the Mou treatment was not a magic wand to the problems. “The club has done a lot, but I don’t think this squad is better than last year. It has been a reactive market. This season can also be painful in the heart and soul but it is very important to understand.” Mourinho says it to Sky after the defeat at the home of Venezia. “The greatest story of the match – added the Portuguese coach – is that we have created so many opportunities and it is difficult to comment on how it is possible to score only two goals with so much attacking play. The smallest story is the second goal of Venezia and here I have to protect and I don’t want to say anything anymore ” THE CHRONICLE

That the return to Italy of the Special One could not be a replay of the splendid Nerazzurri years was in things, but at this point of the season the legitimate doubt is that the expected added value is no longer there. It is the result of a strange match, in which Venezia immediately scratched with Caldara, Roma overturned the result at the end of the first half, then touched 3-1 but sank under the blows of speed and verve. of Venezia, with the complicity of the 2-2 penalty that will cause a lot of discussion.
Ready to go, it’s a cold goal from Caldara, who appears in the midst of Cristante and Mancini following a free-kick from Aramu. Rome, revolutionized by Mourinho who deploys a three-man defense, excludes Mijtaryan and Zaniolo, flanking Shomurodov with Abraham.

The attack move also seems guessed, Roma takes the game but finds few outlets, risking on a counterattack by Okereke and catching a post with Abraham. But Shomurodov, at the end, gives first the draw and then the assist for Abraham’s goal. A cross from the left to the center of the area tricks the Englishman, Romero contends for the ball to Pellegrini, the Uzbek arrives 1-1; then in the recovery another cross from the left leads Abraham good at putting her down on the chest, skipping Ceccaroni and electrocuting Romero crossing, for the Giallorossi advantage.

The second half starts with the Roman brand, with the first ten minutes in favor of the Giallorossi, but first El Shaarawy wastes a sure shot, then Abraham sees himself rejected on the line as possible 3-1. The Venezia changes form, the entry of Sjgurdson and then Modolo send Roma into trouble for a while, and the equal arrives at 20 ‘on a penalty: the contact between Cristante and Caldara falls into the category of’ rigorini ‘, Aureliano decides to grant it. And Aramu does not miss it, throwing the 2-2 ball to the edge of the pole. But that’s not all for Roma. The 3-2 ball is born from a throw into the empty space of the Giallorossi defense: Okereke is excellently launched by Ampadu with a filter that makes the lagoon tip start at speed, Mancini does not close hoping for the offside that is not there, the striker is able to kill Rui Patricio after a double pass.

The emotions are not over, Rui Patricio saves twice on a corner (the first deviating on the crossing), the substitute Henry touches the fourth goal with a right on the fly that is still printed on the crossing. As for Roma, a final siege with Zaniolo and Borja Mayoral thrown into the fray, two golden opportunities for Abhama who touches the post and Perez deflected for a corner, but nothing more. It ends 3-2, the crisis of Mourinho’s Rome opens.
