Mourinho: That's why Allegri is the lucky coach!

Portuguese Roma manager Jose Mourinho believes that his counterpart Juventus Boss Massimiliano Allegri is a lucky coach, referring his squad. On Sunday, while awaiting his team’s contest against Frosinone, Roma boss Jose Mourinho was keeping an eye on the action at the Gewiss Stadium. The Special One admitted feeling envious of the Juventus manager who had the luxury of bringing one capable defender for another. “When I saw Bremer getting injured today and then Rugani taking his place, I thought to myself: ‘How lucky are you, Max’. I don’t have such fortune,” said the 60-year-old in his post-match interview via Calciomercato. “Let’s hope for a small miracle for the next matches. But I don’t know.” Mourinho was referencing his defensive injury crisis. With Chris Smalling and Diego Llorente out, the Giallorossi manager had to thrust Bryan Cristante at the heart of his three-man backline in between Gianluca Mancini and Evan Ndicka. Nevertheless, the Romans did enough to earn a 2-0 win over Frosinone. Romelu Lukaku broke the deadlock with a low drive in the first period, while Lorenzo Pellegrini secured the result with a strike from a narrow-angle. Former Juventus star Paulo Dybala was once again decisive, providing both assists, which might leave Bianconeri fans feeling a bit less fortunate than what Mourinho suggests. Roma, having scored 8 points, raised to 12th place in the Italian Championship standings. Frosinone, which broke its five-game unbeaten streak, is in 10th place with 9 points.
