0 Roma – Napoli: il commento zampato

0 Weekly review
Roma coming back to Cagliari is a pleasant counter-trend. Yes, because in Sardinia we have seen all sorts in recent years, always in a negative sense. Three very important points not only for the purposes of the standings, victory for morale and self-esteem in view of the match against Milan.
It must be said that it was not a good first half, rather slow, cumbersome and predictable, at least from the midfield up, especially with Miki still off and Veretout running in circles. The game almost always passes from the outside and few balls arrive playable for Tammy. And then Zaniolo, is growing rapidly but still seems to be caged, put to one side, out of sight.
It is clear that he is looking for an open field, if put in condition it can become devastating. In defense well, with R. Patricio demonstrating that he knows how to do his job, even if he can do nothing about the blunder of Viña. And who knows what about Pavoletti’s failure to double, which slipped only face to face. But Roma returns to the field in the second half with another attitude, creates chances from the goal, Ibañez takes the deserved draw and Pellegrini makes you the masterpiece on a free kick.
And that’s how we get the three points home. In addition Mourinho still amazes with the young spring Felix Afena on the field instead of Perez, Shomurodov or Zalewsky. Good approach of the Ghanaian. Yet another found of the Special One. Another reinforcement for the attack. Here, despite everything, Roma are now fourth above Juve, Atalanta and Lazio, only two points below Inter. Napoli and Milan go head to head.
But if there are 4/5 more equipped and tested teams, for now we are there to have our say, despite the short blanket. In the eleven we play it, as long as there is gasoline. January will come. Now head to Milan, a team as fearful as it is fortunate, with Napoli certainly very good so far but the episodes on the pitch have all turned in their favor even when they did not deserve it. Waiting for our turn of grace. Daje Roma.
0 Roma 2-1 Napoli “Vere-tutto”
It’s all true. Roma beat Napoli in a super thriling match to reach third spot in the league. The giallorossi win the last three in a row, in the same week. Moreover, another super display confirming what what we saw against Udinese was for real. Fantastic team spirit, super motivated players, and some great football!
Jordan Veretout, the engine, man of the match alongside a delightful Javier Pastore, an incredible display by the pair, but also the scoring verve and pace of Zaniolo, Kluivert, a thorn in the side of Napoli, Smalling head of defense. Mancini solid in the middle. Fonseca has turned this bunch a players into a proper team.
The early lead by Zaniolo’s superstrike was a great start, and the missed chance to double by Kolarov from the penalty spot curbed the enthusiasm. So, Napoli had some great chances and Roma luckily escaped at least twice.
Yet, it was just a blackout. The second half saw Roma running Napoli all over the place at an incredible pace. So many chances created only by Napoli’s keeper Meret to save them all! Then another penalty. Veretout this time doesn’t miss.
Although young Cetin’s mistake allows Napoli to get back in the game, Roma remained solid and concentrated until the end. So, well done to everyone! A great win! Europa League in Gladbach next. Then at Parma at the weekend. Don’t stop me now! Forza Roma!

0 Roma 1-4 Napoli “In pieces”
A year ago Roma beat Barcelona to enter the Champions League semifinals. Today we don’t even know if will succeed in winning a single game from here to the end of the league. They don’t fight and they don’t run. This is since the beginning of the season last August. So many embarassments since. We remember Chievo, Atalanta, Bologna, then Spal, Udinese, Cagliari, ending with many other indecent performances ending with the disgraceful 7-1 in Florence.
The team is in pieces, mentally and physically. Now everyone’s looking for a scapegoat. On one side, there are the legitimate expectations of the Roma fans, against the reality of things, and everything that revolves around the Roma world. The fans spit sentences and judgments according to the situations. In the end we are always looking for a culprit. Until three weeks ago Di Francesco was the evil of everything, formation, changes, choices. He was not good enough for Roma, he could only coach in Sassuolo, it was said.
Then Monchi, the cashier of Seville who is said to have dismantled the team, bad buys, only interested in making capital gains. Then we saw him leaving the sinking ship. So they say. Then, Ranieri the Messiah arrives, all to acclaim Romanismo and the “normalization of things”, welcome back Claudio. Now, after 3 games we hear people throwing the cross on Ranieri, he is old, inadequate, retired, he only knows how to play “catenaccio”.
Cannot blame Claudio, in the face of this we raise our hands. That Di Francesco was sent away to give a shock, we all agreed. Even if now it’s even worse. All right Ranieri, a Romanista to try to normalize things, we agreed also here, but knowing that he could not work miracles. So, we must stop here. Guys, this is Roma this year, not just now. So you have to start from afar to understand a little better.
The 10-year American era saw the exit of Montella and the entry of Luis Enrique, all the way up to Ranieri, passing through Zeman, Rudi Garcia, Andreazzoli, Spalletti and Di Francesco. A myriad of players, collaborators, managers, fitness trainers, marketing gurus and so on. An endless list. This is because Pallotta entrusted himself to his main contact, someone living between London and South Africa. Pallotta does not understand anything about football, and it is right for him to delegate and rely on those who should understand it to carry out the “project”.
Whether he came here to do business and for the stadium we all agree. Lawful and understandable, we cannot expect him to be like Dino Viola or Franco Sensi. But is there anyone else who wants to take it, I don’t know, some old dodgy building developers in Rome or some wild filmakers at Sampdoria? We would certainly be in better hands. sure. Or maybe Mr. Pallotta is just waiting for the definitive go-ahead for the construction of the stadium, with Qatar Airways ready to take over everything? Mind you, the recent trip of totti and co. to Doha is quite significant.
The truth is that ranting is the fault of this or that is of little use at this time. We would stay here for hours and hours talking about Monchi or Pallotta, or anyone. The truth comes from afar. What Pallotta needs to do is to stop trusting those who have chosen strange philosophies and strategies so far, those who have continued to change almost always wrongly. Big Franco is always there, in between a book by Paulo Coelho, walking around Hyde Park or sorting out coffee machines in Cape Town. This is Baldini, a different man from the fighting one of the Franco Sensi era.
He was fascinated by a different but football utopia, that cannot exist in the world of football. He was wrong and continues to do it. It can’t be him who continues to decide. Here, now is the time for change in this regard. It’s time to sit around the table only with Totti and De Rossi, and cut all the others out of the discussion. Now, not in June, Champions League or Europa League, regardless. Plan now. Totti said it, he is ready. It must have all the powers to reorganize the technical part.
With the new Technical Director in place, bring back Bruno Conti with maybe Claudio Ranieri behind the scenes, and a Sporting Director that only buys players chosen by the future coach. With a clear and transparent strategy in front of the fans. That coach could be Daniele De Rossi, a suggestive solution for the moment, especially if the team will be downsized, perhaps initially supported by someone on the bench. Contract for the next 5 years, for all of them, need continuity regardless. Few heads to decide, but normal heads, with Roma hearts.
Pallotta and Baldissoni must think only of building the new stadium, and if they manage to do so, hoping that it is not only for the rich, that it is a stadium for 60,000 and that it has two Curva stands at accessible prices. Let’s not make another mistake, it would be wrong for the city and the people, or Pallotta might end up sitting in the stands alone with all his friends in question. Forza Roma.

0 Roma-Napoli 1-2: “Deflated”
“Let’s clear right away the doubts: Napoli deserved to win. Indeed, it could have been worse. The fact that Roma have had a reaction down by two goals, with five, six goal opportunities and a lot of bad luck does not change much our judgment. You can not begin to play a football match at the 85th minute, with the chance to equalise.
Too late. The miracle of Reina in the end, the glaring missed opportunities by Salah and his companions did not justify another bad game, along the lines of the Cup match against Lazio. Too bad Roma, cannot believe after the fabulous victories with Villarreal and Inter.
How is it possible? Fazio, Manolas and Rudiger, small rocks turned into pebbles, blunders, lapses incredible. De Rossi came back but it was among the worst. Not too mention the others, we can write endlessly…
One thing, however, should clarify Spalletti. They are tired? Is it physical, mental, they burned all energies against Inter? Even Nainggolan is less brilliant, in the pile, the cages designed for him have taken effect, no longer able to do the usual work. Wanna talk about the short squad? At Napoli Mertens goes out and they have Milik or Pavoletti, at Roma comes out Dzeko, who enters? Nobody. Jorginho or Hamsik get replaced by Diawara and Zielinsky, at Roma Gerson is ‘a ghost on the bench and Grenier who has arrived in January can not play in Europe but then does not even play in the league or Coppa Italia. So, what we have taken them to do? Always play the same, if Spalletti does not see and does not endorse them there then he must raise his voice with the Club. But with Sabatini out didn’t we think is now doing the transfer market? Who is bringing in these? Grenier and arrived at no cost, but why didnt Spalletti choose them? ridiculous situation.
If Roma had acquired Defrel and a midfielder now we could have options to play on three fronts, if there is no money take a Gilardino, a Paloschi, who you want, at no cost, free agents, but you would not even have a replacement up front! Instead of Grenier you could have taken another at zero cost but then chosen by the tactician. We were almost better off then it was left to Sabatini, surely he would bring in someone, without mentioning Spolli or Ibarbo.
Now there is Lyon Thursday. Last week we thought had to take a bite of all, we were pumped to the maximum, however we failed badly these crucial matches. It’s nothing lost, mind you, we can still finish second, progress in the Italian Cup and with Europa League still to play. But how things change!
Head down and pedal. Daje Roma”!

0 La sconfitta ferma la Roma: defaticante all’Olimpico, domani riposo. Si riprende lunedì
Non tutti i mali vengono per nuocere. Dopo la sconfitta contro il Napoli mister Spalletti ha deciso di concedere una giornata di riposo ai suoi. Il tecnico toscano ha infatti ordinato una seduta defaticante stesso sul campo dell’Olimpico.
Da lunedì, però, tutti a Trigoria: appuntamento fissato alle 16.00 per iniziare a preparare il prossimo match di Europa League contro il Lione, in programma giovedì 9 marzo alle 21.05.
