On the right road.

Roma is doing well. Yes, we are strong. But that shouldn’t lead us to relax too much; on the contrary, we need to seize this moment. In tight, back-and-forth matches, we’ve allowed too many comebacks. Perhaps in those situations, we’ve dropped too deep—but Roma must never concede an inch, and I don’t just mean that metaphorically. Ultimately, though, that’s a matter for the great Gasp—the primary architect of this wonderful journey.

The Italian national team is also embarking on an exciting journey, featuring a squad of young talents—many of whom are playing across Europe—though one must remain vigilant. This shift in the national team—which is no longer centered on Serie A but instead comprises players from various leagues—stems from several factors: 1) a decline in the quality of Serie A; 2) the pursuit of foreign players within Serie A, often encouraged by unscrupulous agents; and 3) the "melting pot" nature of European leagues, a direct consequence of the Bosman ruling, which has become firmly established and structurally embedded in football.

At the start of this recent series of events, we noted that there would be elections of great global significance. The outcomes have been positive: for those who hope for a world that combats poverty and protects the planet (with Lula’s victory in Brazil); for those who desire peace in the Middle East (where Netanyahu’s coalition was defeated in Israel); and, more broadly, for those who wish to see a more sensible approach to global politics (in the U.S., Trump and the Republicans suffered a heavy defeat). We will continue to monitor these various global situations.

For Roma, for Italy, and for politics, this is a good period. If we continue on this path, we will reap many rewards. Now, however, we must not relax too much. Let us not yield an inch to the enemies of Rome, of the Italian nation, and of a global political vision centered on peace, freedom, and the well-being of all peoples.

Daje Roma!
