Roma-Pisa 3-0. Atalanta. Now rationality.

Rationality is the basic principle for facing any problem: without getting too excited about Roma's victory against Pisa and Magyar's victory in the political elections in Hungary, and without panicking over the Gasp-Ranieri quarrel and Trump's continuous changes of decision.

Match. Well done to us for immediately giving a clear direction to the match with Malen's goal. Pisa has obvious technical problems, and on top of that they are demotivated by their position in the standings (last place). Roma deservedly won, but if we deserve the Champions League, we will have to prove it against Atalanta. I am happy for Malen's hat-trick, who strongly positions himself for a spot in the Netherlands' squad for the next World Cup.

Roma's victory was overshadowed by the Ranieri-Gasp controversy. But now is not the time for arguments, especially on a global broadcast. We need to buckle down and stay focused for the next 6 matches. In my opinion, the Champions League goal is still possible. We need to rack up points. Now, focus on Atalanta.

Palladino's Atalanta is very similar to Gasperini's Atalanta. Almost the same players and man-to-man ideology always the same. Therefore, it is essential to accept the duels, defeating them especially with our wingers and attacking midfielders with dribbling and knowing how to quickly double up on the most dangerous players.
So it can happen that the most defensive man is the winger. We have to create these situations and take advantage of them, especially on our left side with Rensch on Zappacosta. My bet would be to put El Sha on the left wing in order to force this situation.

Competitive focus and tactical rationality are fundamental in order to always maintain a balanced attitude: knowing how to attack because we are playing at our home, at the Olimpico, but without easily suffering counterattacks.

We need focus in the sense of concentration for our favorites on the field, we need focus in the sense of rationality for the citizen in such a fluid political situation in the world. One should not get carried away by the easy victory against Pisa, just as for the victory of the liberal conservative Tizsa party of Magyar in Hungary, in any case decisive in the context of the political battle between Europeanism and local sovereigntism.

One should not get depressed over the Ranieri-Gasp clash just as one should not panic and therefore sell stocks after Trump's blockade of Hormuz, for now only announced, which is a clear attempt to manipulate the market only to backtrack as usual.

It takes personality and rationality also to best face a strong opponent like Atalanta.

Daje Roma!
