Bologna – Roma 1-5

Roma heavily punishes a Bologna that is too unscrupulous, which has deployed the 4231, instead of the 343 expected by me. Everyone played well (including Cristante, who scored an unfortunate own goal).

The pack of wolves we have fielded finds strength in the team spirit (confirmed in most of the squad) and in the consolidated tactical mechanisms thanks to the confirmation of the coach. We are fielding what is written in the gym: the wolf is the strength of the pack, the pack is the strength of the wolf. The best were: Mkhi, Pellegrini (1 goal, 1 assist both and good at sending ours on goal), Dzeko (1 goal) and Veretout (1 goal).

Roma moved the ball quickly against the pressure of the Bolognese, often the ball carrier had speed of thought and had two discharge options, also thanks to the movement without the ball of ours. The winning duels were Spinazzola against De Silvestri and Karsdorp (1 assist) against Mbaye (who suffered an injury). In particular, Spina did well in the first goal (Poli's own goal) and in assisting Pellegrini. Our left wing runs and does not feel fatigue. Injuries related to the back seem to have been overcome thanks to dental care [although Petagna (friend and ex-partner at Leonardo's Atalanta) yesterday in the SKY postgame was being witty about this fact). Some time ago, this was witnessed by Ciccio Graziani (or was Fulvio Collovati?) In a commentary of Gialappa on RAI, in which he explained that the doctor of the World Cup ’82, was looking at his teeth to understand back pain. On this link you can learn more.

Talking about the '82 World Cup allows us to remember Paolo Rossi, the most decisive player of that World Cup. It was not simply the hombre of the partido in Italy-Brazil 3-2 with a splendid hat-trick. Italy’s last big win with Brazil. But the hombre of the Mondial. It marked the change of pace of the national team that put Italy on the top of the world. Italy became aware of being a power first in football and then also in other fields. And we owe this to Paolo Rossi.

In any case, I find it senseless to dedicate the Olimpico to him (as Luigi Di Maio said). The Foreign Minister is unable to resolve Italy's various foreign problems, which he makes absent from the major international tables, but then thinks for mere electoral purposes of naming the stadium of Roma and Lazio to Paolo Rossi, who with these teams has never played. Rather, the Foreign Minister should put pressure on the mayor, Virginia Raggi, to start construction of the Stadio della Roma. Isn't that your area? Neither is the title of the Olimpico.

Today's draws in Nyon have decreed Sporting Club de Braga as our next opponents in the round of 32, but now we have to think about 3 matches in a week: Torino, Atalanta and Cagliari. We are in the leading group and we have also gnawed 2 points at Milan, now at -6. We haven't done anything. Nothing is precluded. We are a quality team and we can win with anyone. Daje Roma!
