AS Roma disappointingly drew with Lazio, Coach Mourinho and Coach Sarri unexpectedly became close

The match at the Stadio Olimpico saw a balance between the two teams throughout the 90 minutes. Both AS Roma and Lazio fielded their best players but failed to find the back of the net. Coach Mourinho's players were the better finishers in this match, testing Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel eight times. However, only two of those shots were on target. The highlight of the match came from the constant clashes between players from both sides in the midfield. According to statistics from Squawka , the match between Lazio and AS Roma had 30 fouls and the referee had to hand out seven yellow cards.

In contrast to the tense "war of words" before the match, Coach Mourinho and Coach Sarri found each other and shook hands warmly after the derby. Coach Sarri kept smiling as in the last 5 matches against Coach Mourinho, he won 3, drew 1 and lost only 1. In addition, Lazio also kept a clean sheet in 3 consecutive matches against AS Roma.

Coach Sarri shared: “In real life, Coach Mourinho is a great person. This is the most passionate derby in Italy, so the players of both teams have a lot of difficulties. When you cannot win, you must not lose. Lazio need to attack in the penalty area with more stability and numbers. I am disappointed to see the pitch in this state, because it is really difficult to play football because the pitch is not up to standard. It is especially harmful for Lazio, who try to organize attacks from the back.”

Coach Sarri happily looked for Coach Mourinho after the match

On the other side of the front line, coach Mourinho also gave many compliments to Lazio and pointed out the reason why AS Roma did not score a single goal against their opponent: “Coach Sarri is always cheerful with me, we joked before the match about the tense words we exchanged all week. I also said one thing in common, we like each other. After the match, we joked that the meaning of a draw is that in the next two weeks, both teams will not laugh but will not cry either. That is the meaning of a draw.

“The players in the best shape have been picked, especially in midfield. Renato Sanches, Pellegrini, Aouar are not in their best form. We have picked players with the heart, the brain, the legs and the spirit to play a game at this level.”

The 0-0 draw prevented AS Roma from improving their position in the rankings as they remain in 7th place. Lukaku and his teammates currently have 18 points and are 3 points behind 4th-placed Napoli. Meanwhile, Lazio are only 1 point behind AS Roma and are in 10th place.

In another notable match in Serie A, Inter Milan hosted Frosinone with the goal of winning 3 points to reclaim the top spot from Juventus. However, coach Simone Inzaghi's students encountered the visitors' annoying style of play. In the midst of the difficulties, Federico Dimarco became Inter Milan's hero with a goal from midfield. Early in the second half, Hakan Calhanoglu accurately converted the penalty, sealing a 2-0 victory and bringing Inter Milan back to the top of the table.
