Fiorentina. Borussia D.-Roma 2-2. Trust the process.
How wrote for young people some time ago, even for adults, especially for fans, who in their cheering have a childish aspect of their character, you had to explain carefully what is correct and incorrect behavior.
In politics as in football, people have a very childish approach to world problems, such as the "fear of the bogeyman" that our parents told us when we were children to prevent us from making mistakes.
In reality, the left must be the party of growing GDP and put in act these politics that makes grow the GDP like immigration.
GDP growth isn't (just) the stuff of economists' masturbation, but it means that the unemployed are finding jobs, wages and pensions are rising, taxes are falling, and the country's debt is also decreasing.
This is why the parties and Rome must not follow the people's dictates in specific technical decisions, which are often driven by superficiality and emotion, but must achieve the REAL objectives the people demand, such as those I described in the previous paragraph. Trust Rome and the parties that have common sense. Trust the process.
In this sense, the sale of Zalewski and then the desperate search for a left attacking midfielder is something that makes me go neurotic.
Now we'll welcome Fiorentina to the Olimpico. The Viola have strengthened significantly, have several strengths, and are hard (and we must) to tame.
Fagioli is the playmaker with Brescianini helping in the build-up phase, ball recovery and can replace Arthur Atta on the left side.
Ndour plays a role halfway between left midfielder and attacking midfielder with a good predisposition for attacking runs and scoring goals.
Arthur Atta can play as a right winger in midfield but also as a left attacking midfielder behind Kean with a more central predisposition and the poetic license to go on the attack.
Gudmundsson is expected to start as a right attacking midfielder, always with the predisposition to play a lot in the center, while Mastantuono is a true right winger, left-footed, who can move from the side towards the center to free up his left foot.
Kean is the center forward. He's most productive when he plays in the center of the attack. He's good at getting the team up the pitch during build-up play, especially through fouls. In the penalty area, he's a tough beast to keep under control.
| Friendly Match | First Half | Second Half | Final Score | Scorers |
 | 12′ Ryerson, 28′ Guirassy | |||
 | 4′ Dybala, 9′ Cristante |
The match at the Westfalen Stadium was positive for Roma. Dybala is in great form, and I also liked Soulé as a left attacking midfielder. Wesley's absence is a concern, as he's been suffering from recurring injuries lately. Defensively, we conceded two rather lame goals. We were too sluggish. Overall, drawing in Dortmund is the best result of this preseason and gives us confidence.
We must have faith in Roma and in the parties that want to generate GDP. You'll see: we'll keep our promises. However, it's crucial to start with three points after the first matchday.
Daje Roma!
