Conference league
Mourinho’s team have never scored 6 goals in their lives! Watch how the fans gave it to the players after the game
Mourinho’s AS Roma literally froze in Norway, returning to Italy after a six-goal drubbing that saw them run Bodo/Glimt off the field. However, the Roman side still have promotion firmly in their hands and it is safe to assume that the rematch will take a very different course.

José Mourinho has been coaching for 1 008 games and has never seen his team suffer the ignominy of conceding 6 goals, let alone from such an opponent. But Thursday’s game was just that, a first for the Portuguese coach.
AS certainly didn’t field the strongest possible lineup against Norwegian team Bodo/Glimt, but it should still be at least an even match.
However, this was not the case from the 8th minute onwards when 21-year-old striker Erik Botheim opened the scoring. The first half ended 2:1 in favour of the home team.
In order not to embarrass himself, Mourinho started to send his best players on the pitch at the beginning of the second half, replacing five of them by the 60th minute. At that time the score of the match was 3:1, so still nothing that could not be solved.
However, from the 71st to the 80th minute, the Norwegian players added three more goals and AS Rome players left the field with their heads down. But before that, they had to head to the carpet in front of their own fans, who gave them a hard time!
There was a lot of discussion before the season about how the big clubs would approach the Conference Europa League and we got a clear answer to that on Thursday!
This approach confirms the fact that the European Conference League is simply not interesting for these clubs and they approach it more as a way of testing their young talent.
This is why you can expect more of these flops from the big clubs. Of course, this could be a paradise for bettors looking for high odds.
