On Rome's side. On the side of the principles. On Cristante's side. Cremonese. Napoli-Roma 2-2.
What does it mean to be a Roma fan? Being a Roma fan isn't simply about supporting a club, but also about representing a set of Western principles (freedom, the rights of the vulnerable, democracy) that have led this part of the world to dominance, not simply through military or economic might, but through the very principles it espouses, which have increasingly captivated a wider audience.
Indeed, Ukraine and Iran's desire for freedom is a natural consequence of those principles such as democracy and freedom that the West has always promoted. Precisely because the West of the third millennium is the legitimate child of the Roman Empire of 2,000 years ago.
Being a Roma fan means criticizing what's going wrong. Perhaps even suggesting the best solution to an individual, as we'll do in this article. But essentially, it means supporting the struggling player. The one most criticized by idiots on social media.
In this regard, I particularly want to support Bryan Cristante, who has been heavily criticized by brainless people who basically don't understand a thing. Cristante is a Roma international. A key figure in Roma for years, despite the many coaches who have passed through. Praised by a great Roma player like DDR.
It's a situation we've already experienced with Spinazzola (who, in fact, also scored against us in the last match) and Zalewski (now a starter for a great team like Palladino's Atalanta). If the managers listen to the crowd, we'll be like the crowd that condemns Jesus and not Barabbas, thus making the wrong choice.
Cristante, but also Venturino and Robinio Vaz, who didn't give their all in Naples, I hope will be protagonists in the next match at the Olimpico (Daje Romanisti!) against a strong Cremonese.
Cremonese is not one of the strongest teams in Serie A, but it has achieved some excellent results alongside the strongest teams, such as the victory on the first day at San Siro against AC Milan (Milan's only defeat in Serie A).
They must focus on keeping Serie A, so the Grigiorossi's strategy suggests a draw in Rome would be excellent, and they'll focus primarily on defense. Our goal, therefore, is to take the lead as quickly as possible, playing well in attack and defending well against their rare attacks.
In our defensive phase, the first thing we need to watch out for are long balls to Djuric, who then plays them off to the speedy Vardy or directly to Vardy. Secondly, we need to win duels on the wings, especially against Barbieri and Zerbin, who are their most attacking full-backs. Finally, keep an eye on Thorsby when he moves into the attacking phase.
We're coming into the match against Cremonese after a good performance in Naples. We didn't win. If you play very well against great players and draw, it means you've faced a great opponent.
Malen scored a double. Overall, everyone played well, especially Wesley and Ndicka, who kept up a strong performance against Hojlund. Napoli's substitutions in the second half favored them. Their Alisson Santos was wonderful, causing our defenders a real problem. I expected more from Venturino and Robinio Vaz.

 | 7′, 71’Malen(Rig.) |
Offensively, we haven't scored from corners for a while. But my feeling is that it's not a problem with crossing (Pellegrini delivers excellent crosses), but rather with jumpers who don't time their jumps correctly. Training in this area could be important, especially since we have a lot of players who are good in the air (Cristante, Mancini, and Ndicka in particular).
Daje Roma!
