Jose Mourinho looks set to capitalize on Rasmus Kristensen’s physical prowess as Roma grapples with a shortage of defenders. In Roma’s recent triumph against Cremonese, Kristensen was deployed as a center-back in a three-man defense alongside Bryan Cristante and Rick Karsdorp during the second half.
The unconventional use of Kristensen’s robust physique proved instrumental in providing stability to Roma, who were trailing 0-1 and seeking a goal while effectively managing Cremonese’s counter-attacks.
During his post-match press conference, Mourinho specifically lauded Kristensen’s display and selfless commitment to the team’s cause.
Reportedly, according to Corriere della Sera, Mourinho is resolute in his intention to collaborate more closely with Kristensen in training sessions and employ him more frequently as a center-back in the upcoming weeks. This strategic move aims to compensate for the absence of key defenders like Smalling, Kumbulla, and Ndicka in the following weeks.
