Roma-Juve 3-3. Genoa. Now realism.
Realism is needed now. Realism is needed in politics, where you can't expect to overthrow a political and military group like the Pasdaran, a fundamental part of the Iranian system, in a single day. Realism is needed for Roma, which can't aim for the Scudetto but can reach the Champions League zone.
For 70 minutes, Roma played their best game of the season. We dominated a traditionally great club like Juve. We were a bit chicken in letting ourselves come back, but we still have a good chance of reaching the Champions League zone. Beautiful goals from Wesley and Malen, following a brilliant pass from Konè. Pellegrini's assist for Ndicka was also a great one.

I find the criticism of Cristante and Pellegrini unfair, as they played an excellent match and came away with Roma ahead. Without mentioning Zalewski and Spinazzola, who were sold by popular demand and subsequently played decisive roles for Atalanta and Napoli respectively, just think of Pisilli, who renewed his contract for €2 million and, according to many, for too much money, and then yesterday he was "amazing" as Gasp said.
Now we need to be realistic: we weren't the strongest in Serie A until the 70th minute, but we're not to be thrown away now. The Champions League spot is within reach. We can eliminate any opponent in the UEL. Focus on Genoa and Bologna (our next UEL opponent).
Norton Cuffy is very dangerous and can be deployed as a right or left winger. As a left winger, he works well with Ekuban. They often seek each other out.
In place of Ekuban, Vitinha could be deployed, who has more technique.
They defend by man on corners.
Frendrup is the playmaker, with Malinovskyi helping him build up the game. He has a great left foot, even from outside the box. From the center-left, he tends to shoot dangerously at the far post.
Realism is also needed in politics. I don't think it's possible to change the regime in Iran. Not with bombs. My father, for example, always rejected political violence, but by opening a printing press in Chile, he strengthened the opposition to Pinochet, leading to the end of the dictatorship and the beginning of Chilean democracy. The Iranian opposition should be strengthened through the media and the internet. In this regard, Elon Musk, by providing the Starlink connection, has done a lot.
When everyone seems crazy, you must maintain control. Analyze the situation rationally and equally rationally predict what's beyond your control and act accordingly. Rationality and realism must guide politics and Rome.
Daje Roma!
