After his squad suffered a goalless loss against Lazio on Thursday, Jose Mourinho, the coach of the Italian football team, voiced his regret for the absence of Argentine Paulo Dybala.
In order to help the Lazio team, coached by Mauricio Sari, secure a resounding victory over their archrival on Sunday and move Lazio up to third place in the Italian League, Philip Anderson took advantage of Roger Ebans.
While Lazio missed Shero Imobili and Sergey Milinkovic Savic’s combined efforts at the Olympic Stadium, Roma was only able to attempt two shots on goal due to Dybala’s absence. Dybala is the team’s leading scorer with five league goals this season.
At the press conference following the game, Mourinho stated: “We talked about Milinkovic Savic and Imobili, but we did not talk about Dybala. I think it is more essential because it makes the crucial passes to score goals.” We have issues when certain players are not there.
Mourinho believed that Dybala would make a comeback in the upcoming Turin match slated for next Sunday, which will be in support of the Argentine national team, before his departure to Qatar. Dybala has been out of action in Rome since last October due to a knee injury.
Since Dybala wants to attend the World Cup, it is tough to say no, Mourinho said to “Dazen.” If there is a good development for his injury, we hope to restore his efforts next Sunday against Turin..
