AS Roma did perform well in the UEFA Conference League. In the Italian League, Roma are still outmatched by AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli to be at the highest level.

The UEFA Conference League is also Roma’s only chance to end the title drought since 2008.

Reported from Squawka, the two players have always scored at the Stadio Olimpico aka AS Roma’s own home ground in the last nine matches. His record, Nicolo Zainolo made four goals and Tammy Abraham made five goals.

Zaniolo has scored a total of four goals in nine matches in the UEFA Conference League. Meanwhile, Tammy Abraham was the top scorer with nine goals.

Coach Jose Mourinho has several times expressed his admiration for the two young players. Reported from Sky Sports Italia, Mourinho actually does not want to praise Abraham because Mourinho believes the English striker can be even better!

“Tammy knows, I refuse to praise him,” said Mourinho.

“Because he can do better and he knows that.”

For Nicolo Zaniolo, Jose Mourinho often pairs of bodies. Especially, when the player is considered too spoiled because he often falls and is not considered a violation.

“I want to say something that might contradict myself: if I were Nicolo Zaniolo, I would start thinking that playing in Serie A would cost me a lot, so I have to move.”
