Mourinho apologized to Solbakken after a scene between them went viral
Roma’s opener against Sampdoria brought an embarrassing moment to Ola Solbakken after he was forced to stay on the bench for extra time and Jose Mourinho issued a special apology.
Roma’s clash with Sampdoria on Sunday night (2/4) resulted in a comfortable 3-0 win for the home side in the final but also had an impressive twist with Jose Mourinho and Ola Solbakken.
This took place when the game was 0-0. The Portuguese coach was preparing to use the Norwegian striker to increase his side’s pressure against the Genoese (they were 10-man), but saw Wijnaldum open the game with a broken header and decided to cancel his move.
The moment the special player gestured for his player to sit on the bench after the 1-0 changed his plans went viral, with the Giallorossi coach even going so far as to Instagrammed the matter in question on his official account Posting video and apologizing to Solbakken.
It should be noted that instead of in the 57th minute when he was about to step in, the Scandinavian striker finally took the field in the 80th minute in place of Lorenzo Pellegrini in what was the Giallorossi’s second substitution of the game.
