Juve-Roma 2-1. Genoa. May the birth of Jesus Christ be a rebirth for Roma and for the world.
Juventus, especially at home, have historically managed to keep you out of the game. They manage to limit your best skills. This time, they even dominated. This is also our fault and is a consequence of a structural problem arising from the summer transfer window: we're missing a left winger.
Roma currently has five left-footed forwards, four of them right wingers, but only one left winger, El Shaarawi, who should play more. It's no coincidence that when El Shaarawi came on, Roma closed the gap with Baldanzi.

For the rest, credit goes to Juve. Our best player on the pitch was our great goalkeeper, Mile Svilar. We're still feeling a bit disappointed after a match where we could and should have played better, but all is not lost. We'll face Genoa in fourth place, which would secure us a spot in the 2026 Champions League: our most realistic goal.
In short, now we'll be visited by Genoa, home to our old friend DDR, but we'll have to put aside our love for them and be ready to face the Ligurian rossoblu with a knife between our teeth. And I expect the same attitude from them.
Their main offensive weapons are crosses for volleys (especially for Colombo: the performance of Mancini or Ziolkowski is important) and shots from outside the box (especially with Malinovsky, who Cristante will have to go for).
On the left side, they create more play with Aaron Martin (left-footed), Thorsby, and Vitinha (who must be taken over by Soulé, Celik, and Ghilardi). Vitinha can also move to the center to shoot or cross with his right foot for Colombo.
Daje Roma!
