Mourinho and Dzeko, two against their past

In the exciting Roma-Inter this Saturday, both José Mourinho as Edin Dzeko will face their past. Mourinho, currently coach of Roma, will face Inter, in which he continues to be a myth, since under his command the negriazul team won the Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia in 2009-10, 11 years ago. Meanwhile, Dzeko, today Inter forward, played in the ‘giallorosso’ team between 2015 and 2021.

Mourinho, whom the now Inter coach praised this Friday, Simone Inzaghi (“he got the treble here, he’s a big one”), he managed the negriazul team for two seasons, 2008-09 and 2009-10. In total, the Portuguese won Serie A twice, a Champions League, a Coppa Italia and a Supercoppa de Italia.

The Roma de Mourinho, in a difficult situation in the Italian championship (5th, 11 points behind the leader Naples), this Saturday receives the champion Inter, who in 2020-21 won his first ‘scudetto’ since 2009-10 at the command of the Portuguese. Now led by Simone Inzaghi, he is 3rd, 2 points behind Napoli.

The game comes to Roma with many problems, with injuries to Lorenzo Pellegrini and Stephan El Shaarawy and the absence due to accumulation of cards by Tammy Abraham. Inter, on the other hand, is in a very good moment.

While, Dzeko has so far 7 goals scored in Serie A with Inter, to which he arrived on August 14. The 35-year-old Bosnian striker is Simone Inzaghi’s second top scorer in the Italian championship after Lautaro Martínez, who has scored 8 so far.
