Genoa-Roma 1-1. Udinese. Reaction needs ethics.

Let's start by saying that we are not talking about a defeat, even if it is a great psychological blow. Now it is essential to react and put Ethics and energy on the field. For Roma and for the world.

It was a great blow. The goal in the 96th minute means a great morale boost. The refereeing direction was full of errors. Giuà does not see a clear penalty on Dybala, even if then there is the goal of Dovbyk important for him and for Roma also in the long term. Even in the last minutes I do not understand why he does not whistle a clear foul on Pellegrini, but to blame only bad luck or the referee would be irrational and so wrong.

FirsTotti, there was a lack of collective concentration in the injury time. The offensive players could keep the ball away from our defense. The defense failed at the last moment. Then Serie A is like that. Just one small mistake and they kick your ass. In general, in the last 35 minutes, Genoa put us under pressure. We also fell back too much according to Daniele. The goal is the natural consequence of this mistake of ours.

It is unbearable that Daniele says “I told you so”. I can understand it and it is unpleasant from a fan. From a coach it is unbearable. It is as if he were reporting that the team does not follow him. Either we get it into our heads to follow what the coach says, who was a world champion as a player, or maybe it is better to stay and reflect on the bench.

Either we get it into our heads that we are facing a growth path with a rookie on the bench who has Roman blood like us, with all the positive and negative that means, or we have to change immediately. Maybe it would have been better to keep Pisilli on the field who played well, recovered several balls in midfield and kept the team not too defensive. In general, DDR led the team well in this match.

Riccardo Pratesi, who writes about American football on the Gazzetta, spoke about it with regards to Caleb Williams, rookie quarterback of the Chicago Bears, and Jayden Daniels, winner last year of the Iceman Trophy, the award for the best college player, and currently quarterback of the Washington Commanders. They are growing pains says Riccardo, but they are players with pure talent, like Daniele as a coach, and surely glory will come for these football teams and for Roma.

Then a 23-year-old rookie quarterback like Jayden Daniels has a lot more pitfalls in growing as a person than a 40-year-old man like Daniele.

4th Day	First Half	Second Half	Final Score
	0	1	1
	1	0	1

This season start is negative. We are close to the relegation zone. How can we get out of this crisis? We must fight for every ball until the final whistle of the referee like a team that must keep the category. We must find the strength within ourselves to get out of this difficult situation. We must start grinding out points game after game. In Serie A and in the UEL.

We will have to be correct in following the commandments of DDR, so we need Ethics, and at the same time have the right energy to make them work. A good starting point is Dovbyk's goal and the good collective performance in the first half, especially by Koné and Pisilli who showed a lot of energy. Fundamental in the next match against Udinese.

In these days, right in Friuli, the good Sergio Mattarella remembered the importance of the partisans and the complicity of fascism with Nazism.

The ethics of the partisans clashes a bit with our sick times, even with characters like Trump who paid a prostitute first for a extramarital relationship and then for his silence. One wonders what doubts the good Pope Francis has in front of a character like that compared to an honest person who has made honesty a point of pride like Kamala Harris.

As my father taught me, fundamental for the Rebirth of Italy was the Ethics of those who participated in the Resistance and then engaged in high-level politics in the post-war period. The Resistance also of Friuli and Udine who rejected fascism. Like my great-great-grandfather from Friuli who refused submission to the Habsburgs and became a Garibaldian.

Ethics, for example, would suggest that the executive power and the judiciary power must be independent and equal. As a father of liberal thought such as the Enlightened Montesquieu.

The interference of Palazzo Chigi and Viminale in this respect is truly shameful.on Processo Open Arms that is, when the then Minister of the Interior Salvini imposed his will against human rights and international conventions, not allowing the disembarkation of poor desperate people in very difficult hygienic-sanitary conditions, as testified by the then PM of Agrigento, Patronaggio, later moved in Cagliari (who knows why…).

The then Minister of the Interior, now Minister of Infrastructure, is engaged in the design of the Bridge over the Strait. A giant in the middle of nowhere with Calabria and Sicily that would primitively need serious internal infrastructures, given that for example in Sicily it currently takes more than 5 hours to reach Palermo from Catania by train.

Then there are the problems in building this giant, on which thousands of cars would pass over the Strait of Scylla and Charybdis, already famous for the Odyssey, where the very strong winds are a serious problem even for ships. Let alone for a stationary structure.

Defending Salvini for the Open Arms Trial is Bongiorno che ha già difeso tra gli altri Giulio Andreotti e Raffaele Sollecito. Grande avvocato. Figlia putativa di Coppi who recently defended Sabrina Misseri. All very wealthy people, who were not transparent, in my opinion, and who often turned out to be innocent.

I advise Bongiorno and Coppi just once to defend a poor devil, a very poor person who is truly innocent. Maybe experiencing this thrill would be positive for them and would be a greater satisfaction.

In a video message, Salvini claims that his only fault is having defended the borders. But Italy does not need to be defended by a mass of desperate people often without even shoes, but by Putin who, in my opinion, wanted, and perhaps still wants, to make a European Campaign starting from Ukraine. After all, Putin believes in the false and harmful ideology of great Russia, which has always been harmful first and foremost for the Russians.

Salvini has always defended Putin as when he defended the farce elections in Russia, except then change his mind only recently. But this old pro-Putin position was indeed against the interests of Italy, which even for Ukraine alone has strongly sided with the freedom of the Ukrainian people.

War is often a tragedy like in Palestine. Sometimes, however, you have to stand up against bullies like the Resistance did against Mussolini and Hitler, like the Ukrainians do against Putin. From the seed of the Resistance then was born that great multifaceted artist and infinite poetry like Pierpaolo Pasolini who then had his consecration in Rome. But now let's move on to football and the tactical study of Udinese.

The German coach but of evidently Slavic origins like Runjaic shapes his Udinese with the 3421 which in the defensive phase becomes 541. Here Udinese in Bologna in yellow.

They can also play with Thauvin as a second striker with 532 in the defensive phase.

They are aggressive in pressing even with the winger who goes to the full-back. In particular Ehizibue on their right. When Ehizibue goes up, Kabesele also goes high in pressing.

Like Empoli, paradoxically they prefer that the opponent has possession. When they have the ball, in construction (they build with the 31 with Karlstrom high vertex), they often go for the long throw or directly to Lucca (very strong with the head play), or (as you can see from this photo) with Bijol, very good in construction, for the left winger Zemura.

Alternatively, in the build-up phase, they can also lower the attacking midfielders and raise the wingers. Here we see Thauvin on the halfway line, on their right side, near the throw-in, with Ehizibue who has started forward. Same thing with Brenner on their left side.

They defend in zones on corner.

Italy in politics and Roma needs to follow the rules: politics the moral ones of Ethics and the team those of De Rossi. This is the only way to overcome the difficulties. Daje Roma!
