Roma, Jose Mourinho categorical: “Late for striker.”

Abraham’s replacement is always being sought

The days go by, the new season is upon us and, at Roma, the most important piece is always missing, that of the starting striker, that is, the replacement for the injured Abraham. After many rumors and possible strikes (Morata and Scamacca), Mourinho still finds himself at square one, that is, without his striker.

“Everything is not going well, but I also enjoy the difficulties. I get angry for an hour and immediately come back positive. I don’t get depressed, I don’t threaten, I don’t say I was promised the seas and the mountains, and I don’t see the seas or the mountains. One thing I cannot change is my nature, I am not a bullshitter. Relative to the imaginary striker, I can tell you that even if Mbappé arrived next week he would still be late. This is to say that after 28 days of work, 31 training sessions and 6 matches, in all 37 sessions, plus tactical analysis meetings and more, not having a striker is a problem,” the Special One’s words to Corriere dello Sport.

The Portuguese coach broke a lance in favor of Belotti, at the moment the only real striker on the roster but also back from a troubled season in a Giallorossi shirt (46 appearances, four goals of which none in the league: “By the way, don’t mess with Belotti, he stays and will have a much more productive season.”
