Sassuolo-Roma 2-2 e Verona.

Let's start by saying that Guida refereed very well. Roma faced a good team like Sassuolo, but by overcoming the pressing ball on the ground we could find them outnumbered. Roma failed to do so due to an approximate overall management of the match. Very obvious errors. Easy wrong passages. Numerous technical errors. The last 5 minutes saved us, played really well, also because a willing Veretout entered, author of the cross on which Cristante signs the final 2-2.

I agree with everyone that Roma are playing badly, but for me the problem is not in the skills of the players. The players are good. In the post-match against Genoa, Mourinho said that he has finally seen a level bench. We are simply not bringing our true values to the field - we are underperforming. We absolutely need to improve our concentration and determination on the pitch.

milia was an example for all of Italy in the way it rebelled against fascism with the Resistance and for having handed over its arms to the Allies, as we wrote in the pre-match with Genoa. The path of peace is the main path for the evolution and in general the continuation of the human race, also for the crisis in Ukraine. Technology has allowed the construction of ever more advanced and destructive weapons and now if our rulers decide to start war it is possible that mankind will self-destruct.

Mankind is winning the battle with COVID thanks to the collaboration and co-management of the whole world. The same collaboration, cooperation and co-management serve to recreate dialogue and therefore peace for Ukraine. In the past, I had hoped for the entry of Russia and therefore of Ukraine into the European Union. As I explained, this is a very difficult operation even for the twentieth-century nature of NATO, a dusty structure because it is still linked to the idea of Russia as an enemy as when it had an economic, social and political system completely opposite to the West when it was called the USSR. Now the situation is very different.

A major city among the closest from Italy to Ukraine is Verona. Verona is a wonderful city with several spectacular medieval views. Hellas Verona are a good team with very hot fans who have a truly original and bizarre vision of the world (they are Nazi-fascists).

La tattica:

Tudor fields the 3421. They press, but are particularly dangerous with counter-attack.

They are particularly good on their left with the Lazovic-Caprari dialogue and with Lazovic's cross not only for Simeone (very good at the head), but also for Caprari or for the right-back who can be Faraoni or Depaoli.

Caprari is dangerous with his right assist, but mainly with a shot from around. Barak also goes to the left to make the triangle wall for Lazovic. Lately even the right-back Depaoli (usually better in the defensive phase) is becoming confident with the offensive phase.

On corner kicks, they look for particular patterns such as the low pass for Ilic, but they also have many good headers.

They defend man by man on corner kicks.

I don't expect an extraordinary match of ours. We absolutely need to improve ahead of Atalanta in 2 weeks and this match can be an important step on the path to improvement. The opponent is tough and we have to do our best. The referee will be under observation again. But we will have to play better than the last one in Emilia. Daje Roma!
