Aston Villa 4-0 Roma. Everton. If you want history to speak well of you, you have to deserve history to speak well of you.

A page of history. Many powerful figures would like to leave an indelible mark on the world, so much so that history dedicates a page to them, but they also want to be remembered positively. It's what we all desire to some extent. To use our damned lives to leave a beautiful memory for those who knew us. For those who remain.

Netanyahu will surely ask himself this question too. No one is eternal. And how will he be remembered? Will he be remembered positively? I'm sorry to make this revelation to him, but he will be remembered very negatively. As one of the worst human beings. Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini. The condemnation of these figures is unanimous, and it will be the same for him.

It's human to want to be remembered well. As ordinary citizens, we would like to leave a good memory for our relatives and friends. The powerful want to write a positive page in history. This is certainly what guided Putin in his attempt to conquer Ukraine. It's the dream of a Greater Russia, with Soviet overtones, not so much in terms of its internal policies but rather its imperialism.

The reality is that the Russian offensive is blocked. Many young Russians are dying (in recent days). a Ukrainian incursion (In Sumy, it caused 330 deaths among Russians.) Often, there isn't even a body for a mother to cry over. And the Kremlin is responsible for this tragedy, having to realize that the conditions for Russia's expansion aren't there. The Kremlin itself is not leaving a good impression, including those who seem more reasonable and willing to engage with their counterparts, such as Peskov, Putin's spokesman, and Lavrov, Foreign Minister, who are too weak and incapable of asserting the arguments for peace when Russia truly has no other options.

The current assessment of the most powerful man in the world, US President Donald Trump, is controversial. His work for peace in Ukraine and Palestine (though not always the latter) is highly honorable. From an economic perspective, the tariffs imposed by the US, often senseless (in their justification and figures), will be paid by American businesses and consumers. It's pointless to fire people like he did with Erika McEntarfer who had analyzed the data on current employment. When the MAGA entrepreneur is forced to fail and the MAGA worker loses his job, having placed a friendly statistical analyst in the regulatory agencies will not help much. Indeed, if a vicious circle is created in which the markets suffer and the FED lowers rates, we will soon arrive at liquidity trap That is, inflation, struggling markets, and an economic recession. A dire scenario, but not so unrealistic if the tariffs continue.

The policy of violence and oppression against so-called immigrants in the US is terrifying. Even in Europe, many people express unease toward the many immigrants. This unease is racism because it is not socially motivated, but tied to the skin color of the so-called immigrant. Often, racist Italians have no contact with Africans, but form their beliefs based on often false internet videos. The reality is that immigration is essential for Italy (as explained by Studio Moressa) and for Europe (as explainISMU). Politicians who fan the flames of racism do not realize the power and evil of the monster they are unleashing.

Gasperini's Roma also wants to write its own page in history. Many players want it, even individually. After all, when you leave a club, it's a story that ends. It's a bit like dying. Or, if you prefer, a love story that ends. And all of us, once we've overcome the anger over a separation that was perhaps subjectively considered unfair, want to have left a fond memory for that loved one with whom we spent a few moments of eternity.

The friendly in Birmingham will certainly not be a pleasant memory. Aston Villa is a great team that can aim to win the Europa League. We need to improve. Many of them weren't enough, even for a Serie A team in the relegation zone. Basic errors. Insensitive ball control (Dovbyk). Inaccurate passing (Wesley). Too much time with the ball at their feet, leading to turnovers (Baldanzi). Late coverage when the defender must always understand the opponent's next move (Celik and Hermoso). The result is fair.

Gian Piero must already be thinking about this defeat. As he said, "In August, it's not right to get excited about a victory, but neither is it right to get depressed about a defeat." Even those who played poorly have plenty of time to prove their worth. There's another game already.

Now we're going to face Everton. I expect we'll make a lot of changes compared to Birmingham. Everton are a couple of steps below Aston Villa in terms of quality, but like all Premier League teams, they're a very good team.

I saw the friendly in the USA (Atlanta) against Manchester United. I was impressed by Irish right-back O'Brien. The midfield, composed of Garner and Gueye, is quality. Winger Ndiaye and attacking midfielder Carlos Alcaraz are very technical. Moyes (the Everton manager) isn't a Taliban of building from the back, but he often has goalkeeper Pickford play long balls directly to center forward Beto (formerly of Udinese).

Daje Roma!
