Roma – Parma 3-0

Roma wins, commanding the game, having patience, managing possession, hitting first with cunning and then taking advantage with the counterattack. Spina is very good at fishing on the defense line Borja who places the ball in the post's corner. Previously, Borja is also good as a assistman when he clears Veretout in front of the keeper. In our Roma, it is an efficient choice that our central striker (and therefore Borja too) not only be the finalizer but also the assistant.

Mkhi's two goals are beautiful, especially the first with a great siusta from the outside. The second goal is good for team play and construction from behind and Karsdorp’s assist (excellent match) is also good, freeing the Armenian with an empty net. Mainly, Henrikh's work is essential in construction and in the defensive phase where he is very good at returning to defend the far post in one of the few offensive gusts of Parma. To monitor the conditions of Ibanez, Mancini and, even if no one spoke about it, Spinazzola who was reluctant to return to defense, in general to run and made a couple of faces that I did not like.

We have put ourselves in a good standing position in Italy [where we only have Milan and Sassuolo ahead of us but we must not underestimate Juve (above all), Inter, Atalanta, Naples and Lazio] and we are first in the Europa League. We have to keep playing like this, always playing with great motivation. Head to Cluj. Daje Roma!
