0 Viktoria Plzen-Roma 1-1. A European deferral
“Deferral” is the word used by Luciano Spalletti after the 1-1 draw in Plzen: Any thoughts postponed until next match, he told the media. Make no mistakes, the team played like a bunch of fools wandering around the field. The subs who started did not exploit their chance, and you need to impress at once if you want to remain at Roma. Spalletti has accused his players again. Either they deliver or out.
From Iturbe to Allison, from Gerson to Fazio and even Elsha, without ever forget “regulars” like Florenzi and Juan Jesus. The first has lost the plot recently chasing opponents in all possible twists and turns of the pitch. A jolly with a lost identity.
The second has now became a case, is he the new Roberto Trotta or a Cesar Gomez? For those who don’t know, they were the emblems of past embarrassing defenders. Jesus has been appalling so far, offloaded by Inter Milan at the lowest levels in its history. A player who did not convince at the beginning and now is even worse.

So let’s ask ourselves, why on earth Spalletti and Sabatini signed him? At home we had many young prospects doing well, some of them shining at Sassuolo like Antei and Politano. Why have we turned away hastily Sadiq, Vainquer and Ricci? Now we have a short bench, poor quality and unreliable subs.
It was seen once again in Plzen. Iturbe can not make a move, to discard an opponent. Other players seem as satisfied, without confidence, even against an average team. VFilm already seen, ok. But now there are no more excuses. Spalletti seems to have forgiven “Gerson” until the next game, since it was his first and it’s only 19. But the others? Failures? Roma needs a more efficient football school, a serious management team, and who makes bad decisions should take its responsibilities, same as those that go into the field. Now next, mighty Astra Giurgiu coming to the Olimpico. Let’s wait and see.
