When Roma displayed a defensive scheme like this they realized that it was possible and a little safer for them than having to play frontally and compensate for the fast game that Sevilla did later.
Mou always does things like this when they play with even bigger clubs and even when they meet a decisive match they always do it with the same scheme.
They already have a basis in a scheme like this so there really is no reason to throw away higher probabilities when the scores still don't make a difference. but that doesn't mean they will be completely like this I feel because when this scheme doesn't work out and ends up falling behind I think the best thing is to be direct and play offensively in hopes of having a positive impact.
But for the beginning I think there's nothing wrong with doing this scheme.
As for the offensive option, it seems that it will be a forced choice from Mourinho if they finally start to get pushed and miss several goals from Sevilla.
It is possible to happen, but indeed it depends on the situation, because if they are left behind by a goal deficit, they will definitely do that. The initial plan is for sure that they will be totally defensive in this final.
But it seems that it will not happen if more than 2 goals are conceded and Mourinho will definitely continue to use the same strategy to frustrate the Sevilla players when carrying out attacks on Roma. Now for Sevilla, they have to be smart to find gaps in the Roma defense if they want to win and even though it's quite difficult, I hope Sevilla can do it, otherwise we will be presented with a boring game from Roma, who always use a defensive strategy.
I think it's the other way around, if Roma run into problems and lose by a large margin and still have time left, then indeed the only way is to go on the offensive, because if they lose and do a defensive scheme, wouldn't that please Sevilla more because they don't have to bother to do security in terms of This.
But that's the worst case scenario for Roma and I think it will go a little further because it's not certain that Roma will lose like that.
What is clear now is that this final will be interesting and I am looking forward to how Sevilla's sporadic actions with their fast attacks are held up by Roma with a strong defense as well.
