Mourinho wants to mortgage the qualification as early as tomorrow in the first leg in the Netherlands, given that after the return there is the derby. Certain of the place Mkhitaryan and Kumbulla, disqualified against Udinese. On the bands favorites Vina and Maitland-Niles
Turnover yes, but without exaggerating. After all, two out of three players can be considered permanent or additional Roma holders. Tomorrow, against Vitesse, Mourinho will make a double reasoning: on the one hand, try to close the qualification practice as soon as possible, given that three days after the return there will be the derby, on the other hand to preserve some players in view of Sunday’s match in Udine . Certainly tomorrow Mkhitaryan and Kumbulla will play, then disqualified in the league, while in midfield he is a candidate for a Sergio Oliveira starting shirt. On the flanks Vina and Maitland-Niles are the favorites, although Karsdorp will speak at the conference today. A purely linguistic choice, given that he is Dutch, or also of training?
THE REDEMPTION OF SERGIO
–
What appears very likely is that the Portuguese will be able to return from the start in midfield. Arrived on loan with the right of redemption from Porto, in all likelihood he will be for Roma outright from next season. He started very strong with two goals against Cagliari and Empoli, in the Italian Cup he always played against Lecce and Inter, then he went out against Verona in the 45th minute, against Spezia he was not there due to an ankle problem and against Atalanta he entered in the final, just in time to take a foul, get a yellow card and then have de Roon sent off. In this phase, with the change of form and Mkhitaryan director, the Portuguese has competition in midfield, because Mou a Cristante almost never gives up and plays the place with Veretout, but as soon as he will completely dispose of the physical troubles and that of the beginning will find space.
ON THE BANDS
–
Different speech for Maitland-Niles who, unlikely, will be redeemed by Arsenal in June. Between now and the end of the season, however, the Englishman can still make his contribution, especially to make Karsdorp breathe. Tomorrow he pushes for a chance on the right wing. He hasn’t played since the match against Verona and has remained on the bench for the last two, like Vina who, however, at least played half an hour last Sunday. Tomorrow the place will be played with El Shaarawy, because Zalewski is still not very well, but the feeling is that he could return from the beginning even if in the Conference, between Mou’s choices and injuries, he has just played one game. All the more reason to hope for an opportunity from the start, tomorrow night.
