During Roma’s clash with Fiorentina, Jose Mourinho made a strategic move by discreetly passing a tactical note to a ballboy, who then delivered it to goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
Despite an early lead with Romelu Lukaku, Roma faced challenges, finishing with nine men after red cards for Nicola Zalewski and Lukaku. In the 90th minute, Mourinho’s note, believed to contain tactical instructions, added intrigue to the match. Roma secured a draw, maintaining their fourth position in Serie A, while Lazio lurks just four points behind in 10th place.
This result contributes to Roma’s recent positive form after a challenging start to the season under Mourinho’s leadership. The seasoned coach, now in his third season, has garnered 65 wins in 130 games, including Roma’s Europa Conference League victory in his first campaign and a Europa League final appearance last season.
