Kosice-Roma 1-1. Still many questions.

This is how Roma 2024-25 is taking shape. Ebrima Darboe played well as a midfielder, then he made a mistake with his limp foot that slips out every now and then and we have already reproached him. A loss of concentration that is not acceptable at high levels. I then added Sangaré as an alternative right back and Dahl as an alternative left back.

I tried to find a rational place for Matias Soulé in Roma. It seems to me that he can only be fruitful as a right winger, perhaps moving Dybala to the attacking midfielder. I tend to exclude him as a left winger, as he is all left-footed and mainly inclined to shoot. On the other hand, Joao Costa also did very badly as a left winger.

Of course, if you have to play with 4231 with Soulé-Dybala-ElSha (but Zalewski also played well in Slovakia) behind a centre forward, you have to put a midfielder who can fight as a midfielder like Edoardo Bove (good with Kosice). If then the way is the 42-and-fantasy like Zagalo's Brazil, then it is appropriate to try Enzo as a left winger, just to have another soldier (with a lot of quality) in midfield.

I reject Solbakken without appeal as a central striker. The youngsters are good. Pisilli and Graziani should be taken into consideration.

So we will go to face Toulouse in Trigoria with many questions still. A French team gives us the opportunity to greet with much affection the next Olympics in Paris. Where, I hope, the Italians will do themselves proud. The Olympic spirit is a lesson for a world so full of anger and war.

In this respect, the new candidate of the American Democratic Party, Kamala Harris, is good news. Kamala has a good chance of winning. This does not change the fact that Europe must still take power at the expense of the various small states, also because the danger that the American president, i.e. the most powerful man in the world, could be Donald Trump, i.e. an old criminal madman, is still possible.

Daje Roma!
