Jose Mourinho's AS Roma appears to have hit the right form ahead of the start of the 2022-23 Italian Serie A.

Mourinho, whose sides are synonymous with playing what has been classified as anti-football, is clearly charting a new path with his new-look Roma side.

The former Manchester United and Chelsea manager has bolstered his side with a number of key acquisitions headlined by Argentine playmaker Paulo Dybala, UEFA Champions League winner Gini Wijnaldum and Nemanja Matic formerly of Manchester United.

Mourinho's Roma have hit the right notes with their spine-tingling player presentations but it is on the field, the Giallorossi have played some aesthetically-pleasing football.

In their most-recent pre-season preparatory game, Roma handed Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk a resounding defeat in their last pre-season game.

Roma served a packed Stadio Olimpico to some eye-catching football mixed with a plethora of goals reminiscent of prime Barcelona under Pep Guardiola.

In a video posted on Twitter, seen by Sports Brief, a well-worked goal from the attacking quartet of Lorenzo Pellegrini, Nicolo Zaniolo, Paulo Dybala and Tammy Abraham, resulted in a top-drawer finish by Pellegrini.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Paulo Dybala was treated to an emperor-like welcome as he was unveiled to supporters of Serie A club AS Roma on Tuesday, July 26.

The 28-year-old Argentina international joined AS Roma on a free transfer after spending seven trophy-laden years with Juventus.

The marquee signing, who declined the iconic No.10 jersey out of respect to the legendary Francesco Totti, has proved to be a massive hit among the fans before making his official debut for the Giallorossi.
