Jose Mourinho will be there against Juventus. A first victory for Special One who, while waiting to try to win the entire judicial match, will also want to bring home another success: the one against the black and whites. Meanwhile, the Sports Court of Appeal has suspended the two-day disqualification imposed by the Sports Judge on the Portuguese, asking for a supplementary investigation and to receive from the federal prosecutor’s office, at work on the episode with Serra, to provide all the material within three days so far acquired. Starting with the “deposits eventually made by match officials”. In short, the court wants to see clearly and believes that it does not have all the necessary elements to be able to decide, also “because of the difficulty of acquiring elements of clarification from Mr. Serra”. For this reason, the new hearing on the appeal has been set for Friday 10 March at 2.30 pm. Optimism filters from Trigoria so that the sanction can be at least reduced to one day, thus only skipping the match against Sassuolo. In the meantime, the closing of the investigation opened by the federal prosecutor’s office on Mourinho’s media report on the disrespectful behavior of the fourth man Serra towards him is also just around the corner. In recent days Chiné has had the opportunity to listen to other witnesses as well as the protagonists, such as the Cremona match director (Piccinini) and other members of the Giallorossi staff (Maurizio Lombardo, Vito Scala, Stefano Rapetti and Massimo Manara). The prosecutor’s office also acquired some audio and video clips in which Serra’s lips would be reproposed to Mourinho and which would strengthen the Portuguese’s thesis. It will take a few more days, but there will already be news by Tuesday. But in the meantime, Roma have collected a victory that they define as a “team” victory thanks to a strategy born from an idea of the gm Pinto, carried out by the secretary Lombardo and represented before the judges by the club’s lawyers Muscarà, Vitali and Conte. In fact, the club believes that it is not right to serve a suspension until the incident has been clarified and to this it adds the principle of “reaction” which led Mourinho to exaggerate his tone only when Serra allegedly disrespected him . The result is that for now the disqualification is suspended pending further investigations and that Mourinho will be on the bench. On the other hand, the one who won’t be there is Solbakken, who stopped due to a muscle problem, while Pellegrini’s conditions have to be evaluated. The Roma captain suffered a slight flu syndrome, but despite this he trained with the team today. They tell him how very constipated and only tomorrow will he have a definitive audition to try to take the field. Most likely he will grit his teeth and will be alongside Dybala and behind Abraham, a fresh dad and ready to return to starting against Juventus in an Olimpico that will once again be sold out. At stake more than the rivalry with historical sporting “enemies”, but the race for the next Champions League. Forbidden to brake for Rome, especially after Lazio’s victory over Naples
