At dawn on Sunday (27th), Serie A played host to an unexpected match. Roma, coached by Moleno, lost 1-2 to Verona on the road despite showing overwhelming superiority on the pitch, thus failing to win both matches of the new season. In the game, Roma occupied 72% of the ball possession, the number of shots on goal as high as 23 times, but finally lost, is the legendary "Mo three seasons curse" again?
Roma drew with Salamanca in their last home match thanks to Bilardi's second goal of the game, but fell behind by two goals in the first half of the match against Verona, who are also not a strong team. Although newcomer Ioannina scored a goal in the second half to recover a point, it was not enough to recover. In fact, Roma played very aggressively, taking 23 shots on goal in the match, but with a low percentage and little luck, including two shots on goal that didn't go in. In contrast, Verona scored two goals with only five shots on goal, which fully reflects the huge gap between the two teams in terms of offensive efficiency.
Roma's losing streak in the new season makes people wonder if the "Mo's three-season curse" has come true again. Because of Molenu's past coaching team, has never coached more than three seasons of experience, and this season is his third season in Rome coaching. Before the start of the season, there were rumors that the Portuguese manager may leave the team, although the final stay, but if the results continue to improve, he may face the risk of dismissal.
