Roma – Inter 2-2

Match with phases of domination by one or the other team, interspersed with moments of hard fight, particularly in midfield.

We ended the first half at 1-0 thanks to Pellegrini's goal. Both teams have had several chances, but it is at the beginning of the second half that Inter dominate completely. First, he has a great chance with Lautaro, then draws with Skriniar (1-1) on a corner and then takes the lead with a beautiful round shot from Hakimi (1-2). We are in the usual black-out moment, but this time we don't give up completely and resume playing as we know, until Mancini's equalizer (2-2).

In terms of personality, the best of ours were: Gonzalito, Mancini and Mkhi. Pau Lopez is also good, keeping us alive with a couple of saves. In the phase where we were suffering the most, we had to win more aerial duels on long balls. Especially Dzeko was missing in this phase, who lost the duel with De Vrij. Another beautiful duel was the one between Smalling and Lukaku (probably great friends when they played together at Manchester United), where perhaps on points (as in boxing) our English won. Spinazzola played well as long as he had breath, probably because he was returning from injury and had lost his habit on the pitch. Maybe the change of him was a little too late.

We drew against a strong team and, also for how it came out, it's a good result.

More or less, there are 5/6 teams at the same level. I do not feel inferior to Milan (at the moment at +6) and with Inter it was a tough battle, but we fought evenly (+3 for Inter). It will also be an hard fight with those who follow us, especially Juventus (-1 with Juve-Napoli to recover), Atalanta (-3 with Udinese-Atalanta to recover), Napoli (-3 with Juve-Napoli to recover) and Lazio ( -6)

Mainly we have to stay focused on Lazio, our next opponent. The derby is always a different game from the others, perhaps a little less this year due to the lack of the public, but it is still a game to be faced with head and heart, giving our best to win. Daje Roma!
