Vitesse is a team in the Eredivisie, outside the top five leagues, and is not very competitive.

Even in the Eredivisie, they are a mid-table team, far inferior to their big brothers Ajax and PSV Eindhoven in terms of record and history.

Therefore, the official media all agree that Roma taking Eindhoven is not a big problem.

However, Mourinho still didn't dare to be careless, and carefully laid out tactics for everyone before the game.

"Don't underestimate your opponent, let's be safe.

"Because it's a two-legged system, we don't have to take any risks, as long as we can score away goals and get back at home and we'll clean them up. "

Mourinho has his own course of action.

It can be said that his plan is very targeted, and this is also the common approach of many teams when facing a two-legged knockout game.

Away from home, then hit hard.

Soon the starting line-ups for both sides came out.

There was no surprise on the Roma side, Abraham and Lin Mo teamed up to appear in the starting lineup.

It seems that Mourinho is looking for stability and does not want any surprises in this game.

After all, it is useless to win the league championship, and the Italian Cup has been eliminated.

The only thing they have a chance to get their hands on is the UEFA Europa League winner.

Therefore, Mourinho attaches great importance to this championship and almost cannot afford to lose.

Correspondingly, Vitesse's side can be described as a great enemy.

A 5-3-2 defensive lineup was lineed. Not only are there five defenders, but there is also a midfielder to protect the backfield.

This formation speaks for itself.

Vitesse saw Roma as an exceptionally formidable opponent and fielded an all-defensive line-up even at home stadium.

Before the game, Mourinho laid out the tactics for everyone.

After the game started, Abraham was at the front, attracting the firepower of the opposing defenders, and then Lin Mo waited for the opportunity to insert the goal. This

is also Mourinho's ideal tactical design, and the technical characteristics of Abraham and Lin Mo perfectly fit his tactical philosophy.

It's a pity that Lin Mo is only temporarily loaned to the team.

Mourinho's tactical arrangement was originally no problem, but Abraham's heart was very difficult to think.

"I should be the backbone of the team, why let him make a wedding dress for Lin Mo?"

Although Abraham didn't say it, his expression was very serious, and he knew at a glance that he was not very happy.

It's no wonder that he transferred to Roma for 40 million euros, thinking that he would become the absolute core of the team.

But what I didn't expect was that I was crushed by an eighteen-year-old young player.

This made him feel very aggrieved.

But Lin Mo scored the goal by himself, and he couldn't say anything.

But recently, the coach has become more and more excessive, directly treating him as a tool and letting him desperately make balls for Lin Mo.

This made it a little difficult for him to accept that he was being treated unfairly.

Some players who were close to him also seemed to notice that Abraham's mood was not quite right, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

"What's wrong,

Abraham, why are you unhappy?" Pellegrini came up and patted Abraham on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.

He is the captain of the club of Roma and has an absolute obligation to take care of the emotions of the players, it is his job.

"It's nothing, I just want to be alone for a while.

Abraham didn't want to explain, so he made an excuse to prevaricate.

"Is it because of him?"

Pellegrini pouted in Lin Mo's direction.

He had long realized that something was wrong with Abraham's mood, and he had probably guessed a little bit of the reason in his heart.

Abraham neither denied nor acknowledged it, and remained silent.

This is tantamount to acquiescing to this fact.

Pellegrini saw that he was right, and sat down next to him.

"Listen to me, Abraham, but we're a little overwhelmed.

"It is obvious that the coach is too partial to Lin Mo, which is extremely detrimental to the construction of the team.

"Next season, Lin Mo patted his ass and left, and we are still the ones who remain. It

turned out that everyone in the team had long been dissatisfied with Lin Mo's privilege.

Abraham originally just wanted to vent his dissatisfaction, but unexpectedly, it resonated with everyone, and at this time, there were more and more players around him.

"According to me, we should join hands and twist each other into a rope to fight against Lin Mo together.

"Yes, as long as we don't pass the ball to him, he will definitely not play well, and he will naturally be abandoned by the coach at that time. Everyone

began to discuss a joint boycott of Lin Mo.

"Isn't that going to happen? It's going to affect the team's results. At

this time, some people raised doubts, in their opinion, everything should be based on the big picture, and not rash.

"Which side are you on, Veletu?"

"It's clear that if we don't come together, we'll have no place in the team at all.

"That's right, we can still win without Lin Mo, we can't pin all our hopes on an outsider. "

In everyone's opinion, Lin Mo will always be just a player on loan, and he is not on the same path as them.

So it's very normal for them to have xenophobia.

In such a situation, even if Welletu felt a little inappropriate, but his arm couldn't twist his thigh, he finally had to nod his head in agreement.

In this way, the players of Rome reached an alliance in private and decided to resolutely resist Lin Mo and give him a dismissal.

Soon, the competition officially began.

The Stadio Gelredome is small and can only accommodate 25,000 people.

But the stadium was packed.

Because the strength of the club is not good, there is basically no chance to participate in European competitions in previous years.

This year is due to the establishment of the UEFA Europa League, which also gives Vitesse the opportunity to show himself on the European stage.

So it's a very rare opportunity for Vitesse fans.

The stadium was packed, and the atmosphere was no worse than that of other clubs in Europe that were big and didn't have a lot of attendance.

Jose Mourinho was full of confidence in this game and felt that he would be able to win it easily.

But I didn't expect that after waiting for kickoff, the situation on the field was not as expected.

The players on the field didn't pass the ball to Lin Mo at all, even if Lin Mo ran out of an excellent position, his teammates still turned a blind eye.

In this way, Roma seems to have one less person on the pitch, and has become more played with less, but has fallen into a more passive situation.

Soon, Vitesse's players began to realise this.
