Roma-Juve: the decline of Mou and Allegri, two teams without identity

A draw would be the worst solution because it would sink both Mourinho and Allegri. On the technical-tactical level, Rome and Juve share a wrong path. They align players without the connection of the game, there is no strong identity that makes them recognizable. Between the saves of Rui Patricio and the goals of Abraham, desert patches can be seen. Mourinho is no longer even able to play “mind games”, the psychological games that the Special uses to destabilize their opponents. His complaints about refereeing have become background noise that no one listens carefully.

Not even Allegri compensates for the team limits. Ronaldo’s departure was paid beyond measure, there are no goals and consequently points. No one has substituted CR7, the need for a center forward is actually an urgency. We do not even know if Rome – Juve is a decisive match for qualification for the Champions League . The Juve today is fifth, outside the Europe that matters. Rome is sixth together with Fiorentina and Lazio, but the Viola have to recover a game. If a draw were to come out tonight at the Olimpico, Rome – Juve would be downgraded even more, leaving the teams in a limbo of indeterminacy and uncertainty.
