Feyenoord was not an equal opponent compared to the roma. Roma was able beating napoli and it's enough in proving the capability of roma to beat its opponent. Im thinking that if roma needs to prepare everything. Jose needs to make sure roma can get the trophy after it was losing in the final against sevilla last season. Having lukaku was obviously boosting the performance from roma. I prefer to see that lukaku to play together with dybala. Another obstacle will come soon. Feyenoord needs to make sure it has defensive line especially about how to block lukaku's movement as this guy posses a threat for feyenoord. My intention was to highlight Lukaku's skill in retaining possession of the ball for an extended duration, giving his teammates ample time to find advantageous positions.
That's why a counter attack from roma needs to be considered as a very serious threat for feyenoord. It's feyenoord's most important task to know whether its defensive line was able to preventing him to give assist for his teammate.
Referring to the Roma versus Napoli match, the victory of Jose Mourinho's squad did not escape two Napoli players who were given red cards. it would be outrageous if Roma couldn't beat Napoli with 10 players. currently Roma is playing their match at Juventus headquarters, the temporary victory for Juventus with a score of 1-0. plus, this fight will end soon. Roma's performance was not much better, especially since Jose Mourinho did not have his mainstay pattern for his team's squad. currently, Roma is ranked 7th in the Serie A standings.
Meanwhile, Feyenoord is performing quite well in its domestic league, ranking 2nd. even though they are quite far apart from PSV who are at the top of the Eredivisie standings. if we refer to player depth, of course Roma is slightly better than Feyenoord. but that doesn't mean Arne Slot's squad will let his team fall to Roma at De Kuip, Feyenoord's headquarters. at least this team from the Eredivisie league cannot be underestimated. moreover, they played as the home team in the first leg. if the scenario is that Roma will tend to play defensively in the next match, Arne Slot's squad will take advantage of this to get maximum points and even work hard to score lots of goals. and if we refer to what sports betting bookies offer from the match between these two teams, Feyenoord is superior to AS Roma. even though it is temporary, at least the home team has a chance to overthrow Roma in the first leg. well, if this match is held and the odds don't change. so I will speculate to choose the home team in this playoff round.
Juventus was in another level. Im concerning about how strong the defensive line is owned by juventus. It was always winning the game with cleansheet and it's likely juventus will take intermilan's position. Allegri is just starting to help club to go to the trophy.
I meant that roma is having touble on its defensive line caused by sometimes it was not connecting between one to each other. This is the main problem that needs to be sorted out by mourinho. That loses is also telling us the main weakness owned by roma this time.
Im not even feeling that if roma will be facing another trouble if it will not fix the problem as soon as possible. Feyenoord is a considerably strong opponent. This is why, even though it has poor performance in UCL but we shall not call that feyenoord as a weak team.
It's caused by roma was not even better compared to the slavia praha and this must be noted as the main point for mourinho to call back his players to train even harder than before.
The defensive line needs also to be trained even better. Im not saying it's bad but in fact that if roma is also having poor defenders. No doubt if juventus was winning the game. This can be evaluation for mourinho before his club is going to face feyenoord.
