Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Steve Mandanda’s “Little Brother” interview!
This summer, José Mourinho found himself a new challenge for AS Roma. The Portuguese technician wanted to bounce back from his mixed experience at Tottenham. By returning to Italy eleven years after his departure from Inter Milan, the one who won a fabulous league-cup-C1 treble with the Nerazzurri knows he is expected. This is why it has decided to give itself the means to achieve its ambitions, in close collaboration with its leaders.
If the residents of the Stadio Olimpico have lost some elements, such as Pedro (Lazio), Alessandro Florenzi (AC Milan) or Edin Džeko (Inter Milan) in particular, they have also strengthened. Rui Patrício (Wolverhampton), Matías Viña (Palmeiras), Eldor Shomurodov (Genoa) and especially Tammy Abraham (Chelsea) joined the ranks of the Eternal City club’s workforce. However, Mourinho would not have finished his shopping since he would have another Blues player in his sights.
Indeed, the English press reports a pronounced interest of the Lusitanian coach for Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Arrived at the age of eight in the academy of the London club, the latter knows José Mourinho well since he was under his orders at Chelsea. The transalpine formation would like to obtain the player in the form of a loan with a purchase obligation estimated at 15 million euros. However, before really taking action, the Louve will have to part with one or more elements.
A good start for Mourinho
The Portuguese coach wants Roma to return to the top under his command. For the first day of Serie A, La Louve won against Fiorentina at Stadio Olimpico (3-1). Tammy Abraham made a strong impression on her debut with two assists.
