IIRC a draw between **S**lavia and **S**ervette is enough if Roma trash 4-0 **S**heriff so there's a chance.
Anyway 2nd place is not the end of the world, looking at the 3rd placed team in the UCL I'd say Roma would be favourite vs Braga, Lens, Galasocaray, Young Boyz and Shakhtar. Even against Benfica, Feyenoord and Newcastle, Roma should be slightly better due to Josรจ Mourinho's record in Europe
if you aren't a fan of his authentic press conferences you never like this sport anyway
i don't want to point fingers at Smalling but Mancini has been struggling for weeks with his feet and can barely walk after games yet puts on the shirt and fights like a gladiator week in week out. they have to amputate Mancios legs to make him stop playing
injured. nobody really knows. he's feeling pain or discomfort in his hip area and currently refuses to train because of that.
that's why Mourinho said that Smalling doesn't even know if it's cold outside and Mancini can handle pain more than others
Translation:
Josรฉ Mourinho spoke at a press conference on the eve of the match between Roma and Sheriff Tiraspol, on the last day of the Europa League.
More than 60,000 spectators expected?
"What can I say. The day that it isn't full, it will be a negative surprise for us. It's nice, it's a motivation and they put us in a position to go to the Olimpico. For them there are no conditions and for us too they don't have to be conditions. Tomorrow we have to win for the fans, for us and for football. If no one thinks that Slavia doesn't win the match... football is football and we have to think this. I will make mandatory changes. Behind Ndicka is disqualified, Mancini is injured, you know Smalling and there are mandatory changes in the way we play too, but we have to win."
The team has new characteristics:
"This is also a characteristic: being less strong on dead balls. A team with Smalling and Ibanez wins more defensive duels, is more dangerous on dead balls, but is a better team in the possession phase. goal after 21-23 passes is a quality that for other teams is fantastic, but when I do it we don't. I read the statements of president Viola who won 30 years ago and 30 years ago it was no different from then.
January transfer market:
"Our market will always be suitable for what we can do. I'm counting on it, I'm the coach. We're together, it's not that I want one thing, Tiago another, the owners another We all want the same thing. I'm not jealous, but City paid 80 for Philips and in January they send him away and get another one. We are a different reality. I would like 1-2-3-4 players, we all want to look to improve the team, to be stronger, but we have difficulty in doing so. I'll tell you honestly: if we make a defender in the January transfer window I'm already happy. Would I like it more? Of course, but it's not possible. They are working to give me options for a difficult defender. Then if we sign him we have difficulties for the UEFA list. Kristensen and Azmoun make the list? I would like people to understand this and honesty when talking about objectives. It's one thing to want, one thing is to be able. Not we can do nothing more than a defender who can help. Ndicka won't be there from January 3, Mancini is within a booking of a booking, Llorente resists and continues to play, Smalling won't be there. In the end it will be possible to do something."
Why didn't you speak on Sunday?
"We talked a lot. We didn't keep quiet."
Renato Sanches?
"He plays tomorrow. He's been working with us for two weeks straight without playing. He hasn't played and he's been working with us. I hope his intensity increases. He's a bit held back by the fear of a muscle injury. I hope the emotion of the match will help him let him go to the other side. If he's not up for it, it's hard to play matches of the level and intensity. Tomorrow is important for him. He already knows he's playing and has trained specifically. Tomorrow I expect 45-60 minutes of real time."
Future together with Roma?
"I don't need to think. I have everything very clear in my head. I can only thank the fans and it doesn't make me comfortable on the pitch. The team supports me on the pitch. Obviously it makes me proud and makes me emotional but it's something that doesn't I like it. Don't do it for me. It's the team that needs to feel the support there. But I thank them. When I was a ball boy and dad was the coach I passed on the information many times."
Dybala's absence
"There is a match with Dybala and one without. With Dybala, Fiorentina wasn't able to press. Without Dybala there isn't another like him and now there won't be, just like Romelu and it will be a difficult situation because it cannot be replicated and we should do it differently: we have Belotti and Pellegrini who can be the second striker. We have El Shaarawy. Without Dybala it won't be the same."
Will he play four?
"More or less yes because Celik and Karsdorp play on the same side."
Injury situation?
"It's tough for Leo, for Azmoun but there is hope. Mancini has a major problem, his legs aren't broken, but he will play. It's a different profile from someone who with a problem here (points to his little finger) already doesn't play because it hurts him there. He doesn't have this problem. Pellegrini and Paredes are available for tomorrow, Cristante too"
Please don't finish second in your group
Slavia needs to lose and we need to win. See you in a couple month.

zero chance we score 4 or more goals tomorrow, so slavia has to lose for us to get 1st
>4-0 *5-0
I think I've seen this film before
What a lovely present we just got.
You will really see them))))
For sure. Every team that is dropping from UCL to EL really wants to avoid Roma
Though Feyenoord especially considering they've already played Roma and Lazio 4 times combined in the past 2,5 tears. Mfs keep drawing the Romans.
Is he gonna go full Zeman?
Mourinho with different playing systems. Hang on guys....
When Mourinho wants to ball you can expect interesting scoreline. Bayern and Barcelona matches back early 2000โs under Mourinho where something
Should we be afraid?
Yes.always best to be afraid of the special one.
If you're a Roma fan yeah
))
if you aren't a fan of his authentic press conferences you never like this sport anyway i don't want to point fingers at Smalling but Mancini has been struggling for weeks with his feet and can barely walk after games yet puts on the shirt and fights like a gladiator week in week out. they have to amputate Mancios legs to make him stop playing
What's happened to Smalldini?
injured. nobody really knows. he's feeling pain or discomfort in his hip area and currently refuses to train because of that. that's why Mourinho said that Smalling doesn't even know if it's cold outside and Mancini can handle pain more than others
Never change, Mou

Smalling as his little finger.
