Roma-Genoa 3-1. AZ. Rejoice even without Grandma's fettuccine.

Lately my most recurring feeling is joy. Joy for the truce in Palestine. Joy for the recent good results of Roma, including the victory at the Olimpico against Genoa. Joy that must also be found in Holland. Without Grandma's fettuccine as Mourinho used to say. To finish the regular season among the top eight and therefore avoid the play-off.

The greatest joy is for the truce in Palestine. As much as we may dislike Donald, the credit goes mainly to him. Israel has many problems accepting peace because the extreme right is part of the government. If peace becomes a fact with the third phase, Netanyahu will have to find another majority, which is possible because the opposition has already shown itself available.

Why was Donald Trump decisive? Because, unlike Biden who verbally disagreed with Israel's massacres, but then continued to give them weapons (for Israel's wars, US weapons are necessary), Donald Trump would probably have taken them away.

On a philosophical level, it is the atavistic problem of the more moderate forces: the lack of strong decisions when the situation requires it. A century ago, the indecision of the moderates led to the establishment of Nazi-fascist dictatorships in Europe.

The joy of the truce in Palestine must not be dashed. The hopes of Palestinians and Israelis for peace must not be dashed and at the same time the Israeli hostages must return home. It is time to rebuild trust between Israelis and Palestinians. To start a peace process that then involves the entire Arab region. These massacres must end. There is no other way than peace.

Along with Donaldo, we must thank Al Thani for Qatar and Al Sisi for Egypt who worked in mediation also for the part of Hamas. They showed firmness and personality.

Also Roma showed personality in the match of friday.

We started dominating the game until Dovbyk scored. Then Genoa equalized with Masini in a situation where we were not very careful and this could have changed the story of the game. Instead, Roma continued to play their game. Dybala, Saelemaekers and Paredes did well. The defense anticipated with the right timing.

Then came the goal by ElSha (much better than Pellegrini) and the own goal by Leali that Paulo deserved for a match in which he did not skimp on great technique and great class. His changes of side were beautiful.

An aspect that Pisilli also has to think about, too insistent on the right side with the pass to Celik and consequent bad ball for our Turkish winger. Now we will go to the home of AZ Alkmaar. Without grandma's fettuccine.

Many Italians, many Romans and therefore many Roma supporters remember how in their childhood something that characterized Sunday was the pasta made by their grandmother. I have fettuccine, but there are also those who fondly remember lasagne, gnocchi, etc. etc.

Grandparents are not trivial protagonists of our lives. No one loves you like grandparents, but they are the first to leave us. Losing a grandparent often means facing maturity. The thought of your grandparents like that of your parents accompanies you throughout your life. Then, one, in the course of life, finds a way to rejoice again, like for the truce in Palestine, even without grandma's fettuccine.

That's what Mourinho reproached us for. That perhaps we lack "grandma's cake" when we're away from home. We've had the problem of away games for a long time. José remembered coaching teams that enjoyed playing away games (I'm thinking of Inter, the treble winners). Playing with opposing fans. It's time we found this nastiness too. We have the quality.

Martens’ AZ (here in the black jersey at PSV’s home) plays with the 4231 with Mijnans (the central attacking midfielder) who goes to mark the opponent’s main playmaker. Here it is a defensive phase with the 442 with also Koopmeiners who goes to take a PSV midfielder.

The main playmaker is Clasie, while the younger brother of the Juve player (Koopmeiners) is more involved in ball recovery.

Here they lined up to try to get out of defence with the ball at their feet but then Owusu Oduru will throw a long ball to catch PSV's high pressing on the counterattack.

They mainly develop their game on the left flank with the left back (Wolfe), who is left-footed and Lahdo who has a good shot with his right.

On the right side, Poku is very fast and usually runs like a snowball especially in the central area of ​​the pitch.

The most talented player is Mijnans, the central attacking midfielder. He reminds me of De Ketelaere. Very tall. All left-footed. Good at recovering the ball. Lovely left foot. Good technique.

Also watch out for Parrott. Irish centre forward. Not very tall. But capable of 10 goals in the Eredivisie.

His backup, Meerdink, is also a good striker. Good at volleying. Mainly left-footed.

It is difficult to find the same joy as Grandma's fettuccine. Peace gives joy. Roma must also start winning away from the Olimpico and joy at AZ's home is within our possibilities. Daje Roma!
