It feels more like an absence than a presence. It’s difficult to deal with those who aren’t there, but it must be done even if it hurts. Mourinho left Trigoria and returned to the Olimpico. Six banners, all for him, thank you for how you fought, glory to you, Rome does not forget you, one choir, one big farewell. The stadium seems empty and it isn’t, the public is there, as always, his voice is missing. There is no enthusiasm, there is an unusual and unreal silence, only the whistles of the formation can be heard, for everyone, almost everyone, the only ones excluding Dybala, Lukaku and Bove.
The chants for De Rossi, loud, very loud, but they end there. Reading the formations and entering the field. There are no chants, there are no applause at the first good actions, you can’t hear the player accompanying the goal. There is no soundtrack, there is disinterest in the players, because nothing is better than indifference when you hate those who hurt you. There is distance, and in fact Mourinho is far away. He took away warmth, a sense of unity, attachment, everything that he had managed to create as a people leader, that filled the stadium, that made the Olimpico unique on any occasion, on any day, against any opponent. Everything is missing, not only Mourinho is missing, he is the great absentee, but he is not the only one.
