After only winning minor from the previous 3 trial matches, Roma finally opened the faucet of victory on December 20 by defeating the Portuguese top division team, Primeira Liga, Casa Pia 1-0.
Against 2 teams from Japan, Nagoya and Marinos, Roma were held to a draw. The strength of Jose Mourinho’s troops still needs to be perfected because they even suffered a 0-3 defeat to La Liga team Cadiz in the last game.
The former Manchester United and Chelsea FC coach is indeed being widely rumored to be drawn as the coach of the Portugal national team to replace Fernando Santos, who is considered to have failed to lead Cristiano Ronaldo et al to a higher level at the 2022 World Cup.
Roma themselves have failed to win in their last three Serie A matches with the result of 1 loss against Lazio (0-1 score), and 2 draws against Sassuolo (1-1), and most recently when they hosted Torino which ended with a score of 1-1 .
Only added 2 points, Roma’s position is stuck in 7th place in the latest standings with 27 points. RKC Waalwijk will be the last test match for Jose Mourinho before bringing the Giallorossi to face Bologna in the main match, Serie A on January 4, 2023.
On the other hand, even though they have never won the Eredivisie title, RKC has always been able to stay at the highest level of Dutch football until the 2022-23 season.
Currently Waalwijk sits 10th in the list of the Dutch main division standings, the Eredivisie. With 17 points won, Waalwijk has only won 4, drawn 5 and lost 5 of the 14 matches he has played.
