Today's realism will lead us to a wonderful future tomorrow. Roma-Udinese 2-0.
This month, between the two international breaks (Come on, Italy!), Roma have won four and lost three. So, despite the fact that we're top of Serie A, it means we need to keep our feet on the ground. But if we continue on this path, the future that awaits us will be wonderful. If you have a rational strategy, glory will come in the long run.
Just as today's defeat for Roma means tomorrow's success, the world must be realistic. The war in Ukraine means many deaths, including Russians, but this doesn't shake the Kremlin's conscience. However, if this war brings economic hardship, partly because Europe stops buying energy from Russia, the Kremlin will have to reconsider whether to continue.
But the war in Ukraine is not the only one in the world.
There are conflicts in Africa (in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo) and Asia (between Pakistan and India and between Afghanistan and Pakistan). The short-term solution is to reach a peace agreement quickly. All situations in which the most powerful man in the world, Donald Trump, has demonstrated goodwill and negotiating skills. Realism does not preclude optimism.
But then again, the millennium is asking us so many questions. How will we deal with AI? How will we behave when water is scarce, and is already a source of conflict? How will we deal with hurricanes, with the major disasters caused by climate change? What about robotics? And space exploration? The millennium will continue to ask us questions, and we will have to make quick, united decisions. The future of the world lies in large continental governments that will then become a single world government.
A great world government not only capable of providing rapid and unified answers to the questions of the millennium but also one that will bring peace, economic stability, and rights to all humanity.
So these dreams, which are difficult to achieve in a short time, are humanity's only chance of surviving, but they are dreams that are already grounded in today's questions.
Roma also has big dreams, but we don't have to realize them right away. This year's goal is to reach the Champions League spot. Then, if we're still top of the table in May like we are now, we'll have to think big.
And besides, the Roma we saw on Sunday proved to be an excellent team. Udinese were a worthy opponent. They didn't sit back and tried to win. We had an excellent defensive phase. We didn't risk conceding a goal. Svilar did well when he was called upon. The defense did well, especially Hermoso on Zaniolo (who was too nervous, even after the whistles at the Olimpico).

In attack, Pellegrini's creativity, Konè's quality, and Cristante's solidity were key. Lorenzo scored the penalty. But Roma also attacked with their central defenders, and the Mancini-Celik connection that led to the second goal was excellent.
Realism today isn't sterile pessimism, but rather means working hard for future success. This applies to peace and the rights of every human being, and to the glory of our club.
Daje Roma!
