Let's believe it. Fiorentina. Bologna-Roma 0-2.
After the victory in Bologna, we'll face Fiorentina. These matches come at a time when football is being rocked by a judicial investigation into the top brass of the football system. I'm not surprised. I've long suspected that various clubs (particularly Inter and Napoli) are working politically on the top brass. I won't pass judgment now; we'll wait and see how the investigation unfolds.
Whatever decision is made, Roma must now get down to business to best face these final matches. Addressing the moment, as usual: with maximum effot on the pitch. A Champions League spot is difficult, but not impossible. Let's believe in it.
So, let's get to the match against Fiorentina. Let's not start with the assumption that it'll be easy. Let's start with the assumption that we have to earn it. If it's easy, even better.
Fiorentina comes after another Apennine lion, Bologna. The away match was relatively uneventful. Bologna has no European aspirations and is not at risk of relegating to Serie B. The duel between Lucumi and Malen was decisive. Our center-forward demonstrated tactical intelligence and courage in his dribbling: he was the man of the match.

I didn't understand the Roma fans' pessimism about the Champions League spot before the trip to the Dall'Ara, and I even more so now that we're only three points away from the crucial spot. It's certainly not easy. Juve are certainly the favorites. But it's our moral duty, and out of respect for our human and technical qualities, to fight until the end.
Daje Roma!
