Sassuolo – Roma 2-2

La Roma ha giocato bene con alcuni giocatori come Mancini e Karsdorp ed è stata completamente insufficiente con altri. Oltretutto loro avevano parecchie assenze come Berardi, Caputo, Locatelli, Muldur e Ferrari. Onore al Sassuolo che gioca sempre per vincere contro qualsiasi avversario. Pareggio meritato. I nostri due gol sono stati segnati da Pellegrini su rigore grazie ad un fallo su Carles Perez, che deve fare più assists, e Bruno Peres su assist di Spinazzola. Loro hanno segnato con Traorè da calcio d’angolo e con Raspadori, ma in questa occasione noi siamo stati molto insufficienti in difesa.

We had several absences. With Ajax we could field Villar in midfield, move Pellegrini forward midfielder, put Veretout on the right wing and we hope to recover Smalling as a central defender as Fonseca said in the post-match.

In fact, we had some serious defensive distractions that Smalling can avoid us in the next few games, but they did blaspheme, despite the Holy Saturday, also the two occasions of Borjita and ElSha.

Too much trip out of town atmosphere. But also in other matches we have seen teams light-hearted, distracted and sometimes disoriented [as happened to Milan and Juventus who drew respectively with Sampdoria (1-1 at San Siro) and Torino (2-2 at the Grande Torino Stadium)] . Napoli struggled with Crotone (bottom in the standings), winning 4-3, and for Atalanta it was a difficult match (3-2 with Udinese). Lazio have made use of two fairly evident refereeing errors, winning 2-1 at home with Spezia, and thus returns to the discourse of work in the Palazzo.

In Europe, the field is more important. Certainly a different attitude is needed with Ajax. We certainly can't think of just defending as it happened for too long with Sassuolo. This attitude in fact led to Sassuolo's two goals. Having a precise identity as Roma has it means pursuing it against any opponent. If you betray it, then you fall. Then of course we will still have to be careful in defense against Ajax. As you have understood, we are already in Amsterdam: a decisive game for the season. Daje Roma!
