Moreover, currently Roma is being coached by Mourinho, of course there will always be hope for Roma to be at the top of the table, and because of this difference, at least Roma will certainly be favorites in the first match even though the opponent is Fiorentina. Because even, head to head both Roma are still the best so yes, it's no wonder why Roma are the favorites and even Roma will play at home.
Mourinho will begin this season in Roma with limited transfer budget and he will begin it with aim for the future. It is similar to what he did in FC Porto but very different from what he did in Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Tottenham.
Mourinho takes that job with the long term plan for Roma. It is interesting to see he revives his career like that.
Well, they've officially signed Tammy Abraham now, for £34m. Apparently there is a buy-back clause where Chelsea can have him back for £68m, which they can activate from June 2023.
I am a bit surprised by all the fuss around Abraham. He seems a fairly good striker, but I think it's unlikely he'll ever be worth £68m. Having said that, the rumour is that Barca were interested in him this week, before he chose Roma... so maybe I am missing something.
Tammy is young and he had a good debut season in Chelsea. The last season is bad for Tammy but I think it is just a temporary down in his career. Mourinho is good to boost potentiality of players and I wish the best for Tammy under Mourinho management.
Barcelona, hey no. Because they are in serious debt and they only be able to submit new players for La Liga after Pique agreed to cut down 50% of his salary.
Fiorentina had a really bad season. But they have a really dangerous striker, Vlahovic. He scored 21 goals in the last season. He'll be the biggest threat against Roma.
Vlahovic, I don't know that player. Where is he from?
