Prejudice, if reasoned, isn't such a bad thing. Atalanta-Roma 1-0. Lecce.
Anticipating situations is essential in any activity. Every action has a reaction. That's what I try to do in this blog. I don't always succeed. For example, it was predictable that Roma would fall behind in Bergamo, and I could mentally prepare for the comeback. Pre-judging is necessary from the lowest levels (like mine) to the highest (like the major continental powers).
These two years of Trump's presidency have demonstrated that he is unfit to be President of the United States because he often lacks a precise strategy (which would be necessary) and instead relies somewhat on improvisation. Even the mission in Venezuela, while flawless on a military level, fails to take into account the consequences for Venezuela, for South America, and for the world at large (China, for example).
When he has a strategy, it's based on flawed assumptions and forecasts. For example, with the tariffs, our dear Donald made the decision without considering the many economic variables it would unleash: the labor market's suffering, uncontrolled inflation, and thus the end of interest rate cuts.
Usually, the President takes advice from highly qualified people, but Trump has surrounded himself with servile people, capable only of indulging his poor decisions. So even his advisors are mediocre.
This is what Putin wanted to do with Ukraine, but even if he had succeeded, as I wrote, he would have had to govern a people hostile to the invader: a consequence we cannot exclude even for the US in Venezuela.
It is an action that, specifically in South America, destabilizes the continent, strengthens patriotism and the anti-Yankee spirit.
In global politics, World War III could now truly begin, with the major powers, the US and China, no longer formally at peace but in open conflict—or, at the very least, China feeling legitimized in reclaiming Taiwan. Therefore, I urge all players to remain calm and work diplomatically on all fronts, including Taiwan and Venezuela.
On the same day as the US Mission to Venezuela, Roma played (poorly) in Bergamo. I'm not complaining about Atalanta's goal, which was tainted by a charge on the goalkeeper and a probable handball. Moreover, midway through the first half, Atalanta scored a legitimate goal through Scamacca, which was unfairly disallowed (a double error by the refereeing team).

The main problem is that as soon as we go behind, we can't recover. It's a more general problem that doesn't just affect matches against the big teams. The same thing happened with Torino and Cagliari. In these situations, in addition to technique, you need to show grit, take control of the game, and win.
We will go from the deep north of Bergamo to the deep south of Salento where we will face our old friend Di Francesco's Lecce with the 433 that often seems like 442 with Kaba alongside Stulic (or Camarda).
They attack mainly from the wings, particularly on their left with Gallo and Sottil (or Pierotti). Wesley and Celik will have to play well.
We'll also have to be careful on their right flank, with Banda running fast and having a good left foot. It'll be tough work for Ziolkowski or Ghilardi.
Prejudice, etymologically, means to judge beforehand. It's wrong if it's not accompanied by reasoning and reflection, but acting, foreseeing future events, is a duty in any activity: from the humblest, like mine, to that of the world's great powers. I hope that the great men of the Earth will act with greater reason, just as I hope that my readings will bring good luck to our Magical Rome.
Daje Roma!
