Empoli-Roma 0-1. Athletic Bilbao. We are ready.

Gol partita dopo 20 secondi con Soulé poi la Roma ha gestito e ha avuto altre buone occasioni, senza mai chiudere la partita. L’Empoli ci ha provato ma non è mai stato insidioso.

The downside is that these games must be killed without leaving the opponent a last-second chance (as happened to Empoli).

The positive note is the awareness of being strong, of knowing how to manage and also of knowing how to defend when the opponent closes you in the corner. A fundamental aspect for the trip to San Mames.

So Rome dives back into the European field and in politics Europe MUST be ready and determined to assert its weight in the international field. Able to constitute itself as a State. Able to exercise, if required, force with the European army.

We must be ready, determined and peremptory in asserting the History of Europe, Our Culture, Our Dream begun on a beach in Ventotene by Spinelli and Rossi.

Likewise, Trump must be ready to change economic policy. The announcement of tariffs, so far only partially implemented, has weighed on Wall Street, which has lost all the gains made when Trump was elected.

Donald can't take this into account. Wall Street is the marrow of the free world and must be protected, even by backtracking on tariff announcements.

As for Ukraine, it is honorable for Trump to want to mediate, but it has to be fair: he cannot withdraw aid to Ukraine, if Russia continues to bomb. If there has to be a ceasefire, and I agree, it has to be on both sides.

Trump's interlocutors in Europe must make him understand this, namely our reasonable, Italian Giorgia Meloni.

Speaking of Europe, let's close the story with the San Mames challenge.

Tactically, the match in Bilbao is very difficult. They have several fast and intelligent attackers such as the two Williams brothers, Sancet and Sannadi.

The first basic point is that we will have to be careful in the defensive phase. It will be necessary to avoid situations in which we are too unbalanced and consequently caught off guard.

Athletic Bilbao is not unbeatable. Not even at San Mames. We are fine. We are ready. Leaving San Mames with a draw, like Real Mallorca did yesterday (1-1), is not impossible.

Then we must not simply be too settled in defense. But we must also manage possession and know how to attack. Scoring first could be decisive.

So we arrive in Bilbao in great shape. We are finally showing that we have a lot of quality. We are ready.

We will have to be determined and peremptory in making our history, our qualities, our work that we have done in these months. Daje Roma!
