Udinese-Roma 1-2. The twinning with Napoli. In this important moment, we must be united.

Someone has compared these twenty minutes to a quickie. In reality it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Lots of time wasted. In the end, the 4 minutes of injury time seemed too short. At the last second Roma has a corner. Then another. Pairetto correctly does not blow the whistle. And then Dybala's cross arrives for Cristante's head which decides this match. And then we realize that the match did not last twenty minutes but 12 days, when we still had to eliminate Milan.

The hero is Bryan Cristante. Fundamental in the latest evolution of football which has made building from the bottom more important for midfielders rather than recovering the ball. Then of course he must also improve in recovering the ball. Mile Svilar was also decisive when, before Bryan's goal, he prevented a good shot from Lucca, freed in the area, which would have hit the corner of the goal.

I am very happy that at the end of the match the Romanisti wanted to say goodbye to Udinese's Curva Nord, who proved to be very sporting. I don't believe those who talk about a condescending attitude towards defeat. For my part, I wish my Udine friends to remain in Serie A.

Al di là dei risultati che abbiamo partita dopo partita, innanziTotti dovremo trovare pace a armonia tra i tifosi Romanisti. Senza inutili polemiche. A maggior ragione sul singolo giocatore, visto che spesso gli errori sono di squadra. Ci aspetta un finale di stagione importante. La Roma è in lotta per la zona Champions in Serie A ed è in semifinale di Europa League. Dovremo essere tutti uniti in questo importante finale di stagione.

It'a a speech that also applies to the Democratic Party, the largest left-wing and opposition party. The message that comes from the PD is often one of excessive litigiousness, of the lack of a clear and unambiguous political line. Internal debate is a strength of the Party, but communication must be better handled. This concept can also be extended to the entire center-left.

The Giallorossi alliance is the only way for the centre-left to be truly competitive against the centre-right. It is important that the Party understands this, which has found in Elly Schlein a passionate, genuine and often naive guide; it is even more important for the M5S and Giuseppe Conte to understand this, who has proven to be an excellent Prime Minister, in a period as difficult as when COVID was there.

A small parenthesis should also be opened on the criticism of the 110% bonus which certainly caused the public debt to increase immeasurably, but if Italy is still experiencing powerful GDP growth it is due to the 110% bonus. Has he drugged the market as the center-right says? He ensured that Italy and Europe in general did not enter into recession with the COVID-inflation-raterising spiral. It was like a Red Bull after a stressful day and a lot of work still to do. Then it is right that the center-right tries to put the accounts right. Giorgetti, the Minister of Economy is not entirely wrong, but he cannot complain about the debt and then take credit for the positive economic data. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Argumentativeness and getting angry is not always something negative. Our players also often react vehemently to injustices from the referee or the result.

This annoying trip to Udine is a burden that we could have avoided. Roma will defend the Tricolore against Bayer, unbeaten and winners of the Bundesliga with many days to spare. It was right that the League lent us a hand at least out of patriotism and instead Lotito, in a completely biased way, led us to play on Thursday and then Sunday. With more games and one less day of rest than Bayer. It is a ridiculous situation especially in comparison to France which stopped Ligue 1 for PSG and Olympique Marseille in the Champions League and Europa League semi-finals respectively.

But this brought us a lot of anger that we were able to channel into the competitive aspect. We have proven that we have blood flowing in our veins. This attitude leads to victory. Let us remember that in any case anger must be well channeled into the competitive aspect, without exaggerated protests towards the referee.

Likewise, the protests in Israel to save the hostages, for Peace with Palestine and in general for the resignation of Netanyahu, who I believe is mainly responsible for October 7, are right.

Mind you, the action of October 7 was conducted by Hamas, but the ease with which they succeeded, despite the efficiency of the Mossad (Israeli secret services) and the Israeli army in general, combined with the great dissent that Netanyahu already had , makes me think that it was a "kind" concession by the Israeli government to unite public opinion in its favor in the necessary reaction.

This thought can be extended to the women of Iran and in general to Iranian civil society that is much more advanced than their rulers. They are right to protest.

Right now, it seems out of context to me to ask for twinning between Rome and Naples. The veterans of the 80s who made that twinning were of a different kind. They realized that the clubs outsiders they had to fight together against streaks, the real favorites of the football administration. It is no coincidence that the last two championships not won by Milan, Inter and Juve, were won by Roma and Napoli. It's time to reflect on it. How is it appropriate to reflect on that beautiful public bath. That great celebration of REAL people that was the Derby del Sole in the early 80s.

The current Napoli coach, Francesco Calzona, specializes as a national team coach. In fact he is doing an excellent job with Slovakia. With Napoli he partly took over the work of the great Luciano Spalletti with a game inclined towards the attacking phase, and partly the work of Walter Mazzarri with a more vertical game compared to Spalletti's last year.

Napoli plays with the 433 which more specifically is a 4123 with Lobotka at the bottom and playmaker (great ball recoverer), while Anguissa and Zielinski are at the top. Here Napoli in the white shirt in the victory at Monza. The only two differences we will find are Mario Rui as left back in place of the injured Olivera and Politano as right winger in place of Ngonge. Watch out for our old friend Politano who is the fittest one. Daje Angelino!

Anguissa is good at insertions in the offensive phase. Here Napoli in black in Empoli.

The two wings have an inverted foot. Ngonge or Politano are left-footed and Kvara is mostly right-footed. Politano and Kvara are inclined to go towards the center to look for the shot or at least go back for the cross with the strong foot, while Ngonge and Osimhen are the offensive terminal for crosses and long balls on the counterattack.

They build with Lobotka, but they can also rely on Kvara who makes the bank. They attack from the right with Di Lorenzo and from the left with Kvara.

The reaction to the League's unjust decision was also felt on the top floors of the Palace. Sometimes it's right to get pissed off. How pissed off were the Israeli and Iranian people. In football, anger must not go beyond the competitive aspect. It must not become argumentative with the referee or teammate. It is a discussion that also concerns the PD and the entire center-left in general. Dear Roma brothers, we must all be united in this season finale. Daje Roma!
