AS Roma is expected to emerge victorious against Bologna. In fact, fans, as well as experts, believed that the AS Roma team would emerge victorious. However, things did not turn out the way they should have. Fans claimed that the Roma front failed to demonstrate a smidge of sharpness, and that is due to Renato Sanches’ early departure from the game at just around the 64th minute of the soccer match.
In a surprising turn of events, head coach Jose Mourinho has come out publicly to state an actual apology. Not only that, But Mourinho also explained the logic behind this decision. This was very uncommon for the soccer fans who see this Portuguese coach as a no-nonsense guy. However, he is not known as a man who would throw his players under the bus.
An Apology For Sub
The Italian Serie A is at a crucial juncture. Every match counts. Each match has the capability to decide a team’s fate in the grand scheme of the league. As a result, desperation can set in, and people can make mistakes. And Mourinho realized that part. As a result, he made an official apology, saying, “I wanna apologize to Renato Sanches. Subbing him off after 18 mins is tough for the player but same for the manager.” “I did this 3-4 times during my career. I’m sorry with Renato.”
Both the teams exuded similar energy. Both teams felt low on morale and were lackadaisical in their approach. This did not sit well with Mourinho, and Renato was replaced in the 64th minute. Sources suggest that fitness is becoming an issue for Sanches, and this incident proved it further. Only time can tell what Sanches has in store for all the fans.
