I want to deny but it's a fact.
Maybe in this case we know that the change was so sudden from the scheme that Mou did when they were ahead of the goal they always tried to defend and wanted to play safer but in this match they were completely monotonous on the counter-attack which made this not very feasible for a spectacle.
Their game is too monotonous for me who has cool expectations in this match.
only 1 on target for each club makes us realize how boring this match is.
It wasn't the intended performance. This always happens when game plans fails in matches. What really made the game look that way was that Mourinho has we all know needed a win so badly, but his defensive game plan nearly caused him to lose the game. After the penalty goal, Roma turned to play a completely defensive football and this made Torino to take over in ball possession but with the poor attack, they couldn't net a single goal against Roma, while Roma on the other way was bent to the defense with a diminished counter-attacking style. Nothing serious was carried out in both sides' boxes, and as such the game became boring.
So this is what happened, it can be realized because in this case Mou knows that he really needs points and wants to always play it safe but indeed when in other matches against bigger clubs with a strategy like this I think this will not be forgiven and it could be an advantage they turn around. Luckily, Torino didn't have a good enough finisher in this match because if there was a good finisher, it would be clear the results would be different.
But on the other hand, clear appreciation must be given as well because with these 3 points, Rome is now in 3rd position, although they still can't be comfortable there.
