0 Profile player: Who is Robin Olsen?

25 luglio 2018

· As Roma Corner

F.C. Copenhagen and AS Roma have reached an agreement on the transfer of Robin Olsen, which can be one of the biggest transfers in FCK’s history.

With the world record sale for a goalkeeper done when Liverpool agreed terms with AS Roma for Alisson Becker for an eye watering €75 million (£66.8m). The 25 year old Brazilian World Cup keeper has beaten the 17 year old record of Gianluigi Buffon of €36.6 million (£32.6m) paid by Juventus to Parma for the then 23 year old.
AS Roma have swiftly followed up with a replacement for Alisson in the shape of Swedish World Cup keeper, Robin Olsen from FC Copenhagen for a fee reported to be around €12 million (£10.6m) including add-ons. The 28 year old 6ft 6in shot stopper has big boots to fill and it may be a concern to the AS Roma owner, James Pallotta and fans alike if the ghost of Alisson may be too much to overcome.

But who is Robin Olsen? Born to Danish parents in 1990 but grew up in Sweden where he played for former 1979 European Cup finalists, Malmö from 2012 to 2015, helping them qualify for the Champions League Group stages in the 2014-15 season. That season he was also awarded the Swedish League ( Allsvenskan ) goalkeeper of the year award.

Eventually finding his way to Denmark’s FC Copenhagen in January 2016 in an initial six month loan agreement via Greek club PAOK whom he’d joined having left Malmö. The loan agreement became permanent later that year with FC Copenhagen paying a fee of €600,000. Having been linked ironically with Liverpool last month by certain parts of the English media the player is now in the AS Roma colours. Having signed a five year contract with the club.

The 28-year-old told the club’s official website: “I’m feeling happy, I’m very excited. It’s a big honour to come to AS Roma. It’s the next step for me and I cannot wait to get started.” Also speaking on the club’s official website, sporting director, Monchi said: “Robin is a goalkeeper with international experience, and I think he can bring that level to Roma with him. “I am confident he can build on the quality that has seen him firmly establish himself as Sweden’s No. 1.”

0 Sassuolo-Roma 0-1 “Double joy”

Mission accomplished. In every way. Roma secures third spot with a 1-0 win at Sassuolo, thanks to Kostas Manolas maverick kick. At the same time, Lazio commit a sporting suicide.

Roma played an ordinary game, winning with a minimum effort. No much to say in this respect. Much more to say about the other game. Lazio manage to squander an incredible advantage, yet after dominating the entire game Inter win an incredible match in the dying minutes.

Spalletti’s side gets fourth spot and Champions League football next year. Lazio relegated to the Europa League, for the Roma fans’ delight. Stefan De Vrij controversial penalty on Mauro Icardi leaves a gap to everyone’s imagination. A player already been signed by Inter for next season plays a crucial match wearing the wrong jersey.

No matter how professional one might be but we cannot believe Inzaghi let him play against his new club, incidentally will now see him play in the Champions League next season with an Inter shirt. Dodgy.

So, Roma and Inter to follow Juve and Napoli in Europe top competition. Buffon to leave Juve, Sarri might leave Napoli, Spalletti exteremely lucky to be there. EDF fresh from CL semifinal will look to strenghten this team, We are hopeful that himself and Monchi will define the right market strategies to be able to challenge Juve and Napoli for the Scudetto and hopefully establish Roma as a top team in Europe.

Champions League final and the FIFA World Cup next this summer. From us it’s time to take a break and say goodbye. Enjoy your holidays. FORZA ROMA!

0 Roma-Juventus 0-0 “Happy Champions”

Juventus celebrated their 7th league title in a row in the Stadio Olimpico last night. Another monologue from the Bianconeri, something that Roma must try to challenge next season.

The match did not have the usual appeal. Not much to play for, apart from the fierce rivalry that divides the two sides. Roma were already sure to participate to the Champions League next season, thanks to Inter’s latest stumble against Sassuolo. Luciano Spalletti’s men clash against Lazio next week will decide to joins Juve, Napoli and Roma in the top European competition next season.

Apart from the first half, it was a sleepy match. Roma started bright and should have taken the advantage in a couple of occasions, but did not capitalise. Then, Nainggolan sees a red card for a second stupid foul, Roma unable to create any furter problems and Juve happy to slow down to secure the point enough to win another Scudetto.

It was a special day here at the Roma Club in Ireland. A great day together in the name of Sean Cox. We watched together the Liverpool and the Roma match, handed over a cheque of EUR500, a dedicated “Forza Sean” t-shirt and our club scarf to go to Sean’s family.

A big thank you to the Liverpool fans, and to our club members,for helping setup the bank account and collect the money in such short time. Our thoughts and prayers remain with Sean. Hope he gets better and comes back home soon. A reminder that in football there is no room for idiots.

0 Cagliari-Roma 0-1 “One foot and a half”

Very important victory in Cagliari. With Lazio only picking up a point against Atalanta, Roma are now in pole position fon the third place, or at least fourth, good for a place in the Champions League, unless of some crazy twists. Roma will host Juventus next Sunday, then they will go to visit Sassuolo on the last day, a team already out of the relegation zone. Lazio and Inter will play for the another place in Champions League in a direct bloody clash on the last fixture.

It will be important not to lose at the Olimpico with Juventus, who are only a point away to claim their 7th title in a row. A point would still be good, but better not to let the Bianconeri celebrate on our doorstep, so the aim is to beat them also to have the absolute certainty of third place in the standings. It wasn’t a simple win at the Sardinia Arena last night, the team looked a bit tired after the efforts in the Champions League and with various missing players with injuries, but there it was. Three vital points.

We are convinced that this team can repeat itself next year at great levels, with the right props, targeted purchases. Make the most of the expensive talents we have at home, starting with Patrik Schick, which must be an added value next year. And not to think about giving up who is pivotal of this team, starting from Edin Dzeko, already sold in January. Most likely this team would have probably crumbled without him, both in the league and in the Champions League.

Next year, it is therefore paramount to think of competing and Juventus and Napoli for the Scudetto and being able to do well in the Champions League. But also the Italian Cup. We were too silly to go out prematurely against Torino, mistakes not to be repeated, Roma must aspire to raise a trophy, and the Italian Cup must be one.

Regret for the Champions League final remains, of course, but the path of Roma has been exciting anyway. It was the first year for Di Francesco, and it was Schick’s first year. Many have failed in Rome the first year, remember the various Falcao, Voeller, Mexes, and also Dzeko. But many others have also failed even after waiting so long for them, see Iturbe. In short, we need a bit of balance.

Last but not least: our Club is proud to contribute to the Fund for Sean Cox and to be part of the charity event with the Irish Liverpool Reds, which has already raised € 80,000. A joint event that will be held next Sunday in conjunction with the Liverpool vs Brighton and Roma vs Juve matches. For the occasion we will watch the the matches together with them. It is important to give a strong signal of friendship and solidarity, united against violence. Regardless. #ForzaSean

0 Roma-Liverpool 4-2 (6-7 aggr.) “Head up”

The Giallorossi go out with their heads held high – as Edin Dzeko and Radja Nainggolan’s second half goals clinch victory on the night.

Two clear penalties denied and Liverpool goal in offside position, yes, we all agree. The Var system might have produced a final between Roma and Bayern, also “robbed” in Madrid. but we’ll never know exactly.

Roma are also to blame themselves, too soft to gift Liverpool easy chances within the two legs….4 goals given away cheaply. Can’t do this at this level. Pity. A sense of missed opportunity, Kiev was very much achievable and so close! Our best of luck to Liverpool FC in the final.

But at the end Roma are Champions too, discounted at the beginning of the campaign, never thought to get this far..and so close to reach the final of the Champions League. We can only be proud for what they done, at the very peak of Europe.

Now heads and hearts to the remaining fixtures of Serie A campaign, to ensure we finish third. On Sunday eve before the Cagliari game we will be showing up for the Liverpool v Chelsea game to hand out our contribution to the Irish Liverpool Reds for Sean Cox.

Last night we met a few irish Liverpool fans inside the Stadio Olimpico, took some pictures together with our club banner. A great sense of unity and solidarity. Keep football a football game.

0 Roma-Chievo 4-1 “In the name of Sean”

Roma beat Chievo in style. 4-1 with Alisson saving a penalty and Juan Jesus sent off. A great match display in preparation for the second leg of the semifinal of the Champions League against Liverpool.

Our club closed its gates as mark of respect for what happened in Liverpool, where Sean Cox was brutally assaulted, still fighting for his life. We were contacted by several media to do with the case, Sean is irish and a big Liverpool fan like many over here. But he’s not a hooligan.

We set up a bank account trying to raise funds and help the group Irish Liverpool Reds who have set up a Go Fund to help Sean and his family. Over €60,000 has been raised so far.

Whatever happened in Liverpool is to condemn, regardless of the name, colour or nationality of the perpetrators. We know there are reports about bad police organisation, and italians who complain they have been exposed and attacked beforehand. All facts, yes. But that is not the point.

A group of thugs went on a mission. This is nothing to do with the beautiful game, we don’t really care who attacked first or after or whatever else. Any decent football fan goes to the stadium to watch football and instead now we have Sean left fighting for his life. For a football game? No, thanks.

0 Liverpool-Roma 5-2 “Koput”

Roma left Anfield with a heavy deficit despite an excellent start. It was written on the walls that Mo Salah would score a goal against his old team, what we did not expect was the final result.

As said, Roma started well, immediately takes control of the ball and goes close to take an early advantage with Strootman first shot and Kolarov after to hit the crossbar. Then Liverpool missed a couple of very good chances with Mane. Then, Wynaldum on the pitch for the injured Chamberlain is a game changer.

Rome suddenly lost confidence, our three defending at the back against their three upfront was too daring, allowing quick counters that proved to be costly. Liverpool’s magnificent three were deadly on the break, Roma finds herself under pressure all over the place, and gets eventually slaughtered with an embarassing five goals.

When things seem to settle for Liverpool already securing a place in Kiev, Rome wakes up and takes the field again. Dzeko’s Goal and Perotti’s penalty reduce the heavy deficit. A relief. If we had a few more minutes we could have scored another but there is no time left. It ends 5-2.

Now, Roma need another miracle if Kiev is to be our final destination, same as against Barcelona. Need three goals difference. Another magic. It can happen only with the same attitude and perfection we saw against the Catalans. We an an early goal anything is possible. As Di Francesco says, those who do not believe can even stay at home. WE DO BELIEVE! DAJE ROMA!

0 Spal-Roma 0-3 “Fluency”

Easier than expected. the match in Ferrara was daunting, unbeaten in the last 8 matches, Spal are a team who play aggressive football on home soil. Instead, it turned out to be one of the easiest wins for Roma this season.

In control from the very start, this Roma team never gave Spal the chance to escape defeat, in fact it could have been more than 3 goals with El Sharaawy squandering many easy chances.

In the end, a very convincing win for a Roma team that rested several players, in the light of Tuesday’s crucial encounter with Liverpool. By the way, let’s not get fooled. The Reds only drew against bottom team WBA, after being two nil up.

They did not impress, yes, but Klopp is not stupid either, eventually resting some key players as well. And let’s face it, at Anfirld it will be a different story altogether. Expect the first 10/15 mins to be hell on fire, expect to see them very aggressive from the start.

They will be looking to put Roma under pressure and try break the deadlock immediately. Roma must face them with this in mind, and defend with knives between the teeth. It’s paramount not to concede a goal in the frst 10/15 mins and try to be quick to steal the ball and fire on the break.

Now, head, heart, soul and feet at Anfield. Be ready. It’s the most important fixture for AS Roma since 1984. No revenge but only one of the two matches to reach the final. Let’s make good history. DAJE ROMA!

0 Lazio-Roma 0-0 “OK derby”

16 aprile 2018

· As Roma Corner

Derby-day, no goals. It’s an ok result considering what Roma have done in Champions League and what Lazio was looking for in this match. With Inter Milan drawing means this is a square result that keeps the situation stable for the race to third place.

Roma played better the first half, Lazio were kept at bay with the usual pressing high in defense. Peres for Florenzi the only change from the team that beat Barcelona. The same Peres, unsung hero in Donetsk, yesterday went to hit the woodwork from an easy chance.

Dzeko would do the same in the dying seconds of the match, hit the bar and went close with some effort to win the match.

A ten-men Lazio were slightly better in the second half and Immobile squandered a golden chance in the end as well. But Roma went closest and the fans were left with a bitter taste in the end. But no regrets this time.

The incredible perfromance in Champions League was too good to be true. We take the point and look forward to beat Genoa in midweek and SPAL at the weekend before heading to Anfield. Pure adrenaline.

Forza Roma!

0 Roma-Barcellona 3-0 “Candy sweet”

· As Roma Corner

An easy meal especially after the first leg ended 4-1. Roma were just a candy sweet for the catalan giants. No one believed this to become one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history.

The impossible task. Now no longer impossible. Roma did it. An emphatic win 3-0, Messi and co. ridiculed from start to finish. Di Francesco tactics mastered by the roman gladiators on the pitch. A stadium roaring like never seen before in recent times. Jubilant scenes in the italian capital until early morning with American president James Pallotta diving in People’s square main fountain. Exhilarating.

We were in the stadium. Simply amazing. The whole soccer world in shock and awe. Roma are in the semifinals of the Champions League, in the last four since 1984. We can face anyone at this stage, all the roads lead to Kiev. The dream is not over. Now, bring on Lazio! Daje Roma!
