Alonso really made a team in the end from Leverkusen after a terrible start and they survived and risen to a semi final and the season for them can be called a success. Mourinho is a genius and yet again he parked the bus and took his team to final and we all know he dosent lose them
Bus well parked by Jose Mourinho. Any one that have known Jose for long now will know how tactical he is in parking bus when he’s already winning and just wants to qualify to the next round without taken any chances of going for another attack which may backfire. Nice game by Xabi Alonso side also, but the match was not just in their favor as the tactical Mourinho’s team didn’t allow any penetration into his eighteen yard box. We anticipate to see an interesting final this season.
He is the special one of parking buses use this strategy quite often when his team is ahead, and it's not beautiful football, if Xabi Alonso could read Mourinho's strategy maybe he could prepare players with a good kick from outside the penalty box because facing that strategy the only way is a shot from distance , to be honest maybe the Leverkusen players feel bad about failing because the goal margin they have to chase is not much but it becomes very difficult because of the precise strategy of their opposing team, although in the end, they don't show attractive football with full defensive play but at least they are able to lead Roma to the European league final to face Sevilla, but bus parking will be difficult to apply because this is only one game in the final.
Juventus are even worse in terms of game strategy, but they are still able to score goals with their full defensive strategy, it's just that they faced more experienced teams when playing in the European leagues, so they weren't as successful as Roma and were eventually eliminated.
In the final AS Roma are the favorites to beat Sevilla and win the European league but the odds are not much different and may still change due to the development of the two teams in the weeks before the final is held, the final will be held in Budapest, once again Sevilla is not the favorite but if things are in theirs favor so that being champions, it will be the umpteenth time to answer well any doubts about them in this tournament, so Roma will have to be wary of Sevilla's experience here.
