Roma crushed Lazio. The Giallorossi dominated the biancocelesti or 90 minutes. Pity not having won. The usual, Roma in command, produces a lot but too many chances wasted. An old story. But this time I do not feel like criticizing it, everyone gave everything, a great desire, on the field and in the stands.
Cengiz is back to be the unstoppable goblin, Smalling continues to do extraordinary things, excellent performances by Santon and Spinazzola, Pellegrini churns out passes, and Dzeko always leading up front, scoring but also unlucky with some creazy chances. And above all, a pity for a ridiculous goal conceded, a paradoxical gift, with Pau Lopez with his fists stretched to the wrong place. Acerbi celebrates. Lazio say thanks.
In the end, Roma can only regret for a missed victory, for the city’s pride, but also three points that could move up the ranking. I feel like saying that Fonseca has put in the best lineup, even if unpopular, but then making mistakes in the last 10-15 minutes. Perotti touched a ball and Pastore zero in toal, in the last 10-15 minutes on the pitch. Although almost never played so far, I would have put Kalinic in, he could go in and get in the way, and maybe he could try more, with a shot, lucky deflection, or a header, who knows.
Now Ibañez, Villar and Perez are the new January signings, with Florenzi on the way out to Valencia. Three young guys with little experience and not really ready to do the job. The politics of youngsters continue, ok, but then we also need readily experienced players there.. Maybe Perez is a little more ready, already seen at times playing for Barcelona …
The important thing is to understand that Florenzi was the fourth choice defender, with the blessing of Fonseca, but 15 million for him at 28 years old and 10 spent for the twenty year old Ibañez with only 15 minutes played at Atalanta, fourth choice there.. well …it seems to me a little risky. Pity for Alessandro, but he gets sacrificed considering Fonseca rates more Santon and Spinazzola, and with Zappacosta coming back soon, there you go…
Meanwhile, we start again this weekend in Sassuolo. It won’t be easy, so better stay focused, not to let our guard down. Forza Roma!
