Similar to the honey-moon period at Tottenham, where Espirito Santo is on song with the new squad and the squad is excited with the arrival of new manager, AS Roma and Jose Mourinho seem to have fallen in love at first sight.

There is an immense wave of enthusiasm about the Roman club these days and their strong start to the season comes as no surprise. As much as I am sceptical towards Mourinho, there is an impression and gut feeling, that the Portuguese is going to enjoy a successful comeback to Serie A. For once, the club has also showed support and done some good business on the market. Signings of goalkeeper Rui Patricio and striker Tammy Abraham (both from EPL) for a total of 50.00m EUR are top notch moves, even if some would debate over those price tags. Realistically, Abraham has all the traits needed to be an instant hit in Italy; Rui Patricio has already showcased how much better he is than any predecessors since Alisson Becker.

Roma showed the right sportsmanship to take 2 wins against Trabzonspor in a pretty needless tournament like the Conference League. It underlined teams ambition to get results regardless of the opposition and circumstances, something I had not seen from Roma for years.

Mourinho’s decision to switch Roma to the orthodox 4231 formation after Fonseca’s experiments with 3421, 343 and other systems with 3 central defenders have worked well and given the team the right balance.

Veretout, Cristante and Pellegrini are in top form. The latter 2 are blooming after getting crowned Kings of Europe at the Euro’20 last month.

What’s more, with Inter cutting their budgets and Juventus losing CR7, the chances for taking Scudetto are more realistic than ever for AS Roma - this takes their game to another level, too.

I watched Salernitana’s full game against Bologna (2-3) and would not go against the truth to say they were unfortunate to lose it. There were a lot of plot twists about it, however, with 3 red cards, penalties and other drama. One thing, that did catch the eye was Salernitana’s desire to defend through attack and possession play and thus get vulnerable at the back to counters; + the way they collapsed physically in the final 25 minutes of the encounter. It felt like someone pulled the trigger on them as they could no longer maintain the game tempo and contain Bologna. Their short bench, lack of experience and generally weak squad should prove decisive again, when they take on high flying Roma. I expect Mourinho to take a 2nd Serie A win of the season in Salerno.

与热刺的蜜月期相似，圣埃斯皮里托与新球队在一起，球队对新教练罗马和乔的到来感到兴奋

与托特纳姆的蜜月期相似，圣埃斯皮里托与新球队在一起，球队对新教练的到来感到兴奋，罗马和穆里尼奥似乎一见钟情。

这些天来，人们对罗马俱乐部的热情高涨，他们本赛季强劲的开局并不令人意外。尽管我对穆里尼奥持怀疑态度，但我有一种感觉和直觉，葡萄牙人将会在意甲成功复出。这一次，俱乐部也表现出了支持，并在市场上做了一些不错的交易。以5000万欧元的价格签下了门将鲁伊·帕特里西奥和前锋塔米·亚伯拉罕，这是顶级的转会，尽管有些人会对价格有争议。实际上，亚伯拉罕具备了在意大利迅速走红的所有特质;鲁伊·帕特里西奥已经证明了他比贝克尔之后的任何前辈都要优秀得多。

罗马展现了正确的体育精神，在联赛这样一场毫无必要的比赛中战胜了特拉布宗斯波尔。它强调了球队不管对手和环境如何都要取得成绩的雄心，这是我多年来在罗马所没有看到的。

在丰塞卡尝试了3421,343和其他3名中后卫的阵型后，穆里尼奥决定让罗马改用传统的4231阵型，这一决定很有效，给了球队正确的平衡。

维雷托、克里斯坦特和佩莱格里尼都处于最佳状态。后两国在上个月的20欧元峰会上加冕为“欧洲之王”，目前正在蓬勃发展。

更重要的是，国际米兰削减了他们的预算，尤文图斯失去了CR7，罗马获得意甲冠军的机会比以往任何时候都更加现实——这也将他们的比赛带到另一个水平。

我看了萨勒尼塔纳队对博洛尼亚队的整场比赛(2-3)，我认为他们输掉比赛是很不幸的。然而，有很多情节的曲折，3张红牌，点球和其他戏剧。有一件事确实吸引了人们的眼球，那就是萨勒尼塔纳想要通过进攻和控球来防守，因此在后场防守时很容易受到攻击;+他们在最后25分钟身体崩溃的方式。这感觉就像有人扣动了他们的扳机，因为他们再也不能保持比赛的节奏和遏制博洛尼亚了。他们的板凳很短，缺乏经验，阵容也很弱，当他们面对罗马的时候，这将再次证明他们是决定性的。我希望穆里尼奥能在萨莱诺取得本赛季的第二场意甲胜利。
