Juicy Football Feud: Jose Mourinho Takes a Savage Swipe at Sarri Once More Following Roma's Loss to Atalanta"
AS Roma’s head coach, Jose Mourinho, aimed another sly dig at his rival, Lazio’s Maurizio Sarri, after his team suffered a 3-1 defeat to Atalanta. The Rome-based teams are both fighting for a top-four finish with only a few Serie A games left to play.
Lazio is currently second on the log with 61 points, while Roma sits in fifth place, five points adrift. Roma was previously inside the top four, but after Juventus' point reduction was reversed, the Old Lady had their 15 points restored, pushing Roma out of the top four.
Despite this setback, Roma is still well placed to qualify for the Champions League as they are only behind fourth-placed Milan on goal difference. However, Roma’s latest game against Atalanta saw them suffer a 3-1 defeat, which could be seen as a minor setback for Mourinho’s side.
In typical Mourinho fashion, he deflected attention from the defeat by highlighting Lazio's exit from the Europa League. During the post-match press conference, Mourinho said, “Maybe a defeat against Feyenoord would have been better to fight until the end to get into the top four. But I’m not used to choosing between Europe and the league. I’m not used to going out of Europe to focus on Serie A.”
This is not the first time that Mourinho has made sensational statements. Recently, he suggested that his Roma players were not at the level of some players he previously managed at clubs like Real Madrid and Chelsea.
As Roma continues to juggle their Europa League and Serie A commitments, the team is hoping to achieve their objectives in both competitions. With only a few games left in the season, it remains to be seen whether Roma can secure a top-four finish and qualify for the Champions League.
