“It will be difficult for me to forgive them.” José Mourinho, once again, has kept his word. After the 0-0 draw with Napoli, the Roma coach he had not left much hope for Villar, Borja Mayoral, Reynolds, Diawara and Kumbulla, his signaled in the disaster with the Bodo Glimt. He had left them out of the call and today, for the visit to Cagliari tomorrow, he did it again. Only one of them was saved, Kumbulla, present on their list due to absences in the rear, while the others will remain in Rome. Mourinho, on Sunday, affirmed that he is satisfied with “11, 12, 13, 14” players in his team, reiterating the need for new signings in the market.
According to ‘La Gazzetta’, the ideal, for the Portuguese, would be to part with everyone in the winter market, to be able to incorporate two new midfielders, a full back, a center back and a forward. The club will try to satisfy him, but it will not be easy at all and for that reason, for the moment, the confirmed priorities are a positional midfielder and a right-back, since the long-awaited return of Spinazzola is expected at the end of November on the other side. The five ‘punished’ still have options to be protagonists again, then, and they do not lack talent to try. Especially in the case of Borja Mayoral, Romanist capocannoniere last year with 17 goals, and Gonzalo Villar, who with Paulo Fonseca became the revelation of the midfield. His situation with the Special One is inexplicable.
