Matic is still more effective than plays better than Manuel Locatelli despite being about 10 years older. Roma should look to clone Matic because his influence is increasingly reduced but at his age he has been one of the few midfielders in the Italian league to conquer the role of "old midfielder" in a defensive role. He has allowed them to support Paulo Dybala without ever losing sight of the opposing playmaker. Matic is like a washing machine: he cleans the dirty clothes and returns them clean to Pellegrini and Wijnaldum. The Serbian giant has freed Lorenzo Pellegrini from his defensive tasks and has allowed Mourinho to play Georgino Wijnaldum without unbalancing the team in attack. Mourinho's greatest intuition was to understand how the former star of Benfica, Manchester United and Chelsea could still be instrumental in Serie A.Īt almost 37 years old, Nemanja Matic is still a top player capable of improving the performance of the midfield. Patricio has been repeatedly compared to the Portugal great Victor Baia, despite the 30-year-old not having the ability to match one of the greatest goalkeepers in Latin football history. The former Wolves goalkeeper deserves credit for Roma only conceding 26 league goals this season. In Serie A, Patricio has played all of Roma’s matches to date and has provided calm to a team that in the past had panicked when faced with moments of pressure. When the Portuguese player's contract expires next year, Svilar will become Roma's new No.1. His role at Roma has always been transitional, because Mourinho strongly wanted to sign the young goalkeeper Mile Svilar, who he considers as the heir to Patricio. Patricio has had mixed performances but in the last two seasons he has earned the Giallorossi team between five to eight points with match-saving stops. The experienced Portuguese goalkeeper is a reliable goalkeeper with around 15 years of experience as a starter. What are Mourinho's sporting miracles in Roma?
