Man Utd – Roma 6-2

If we explained this match only with the 3 injuries (in order of time Veretout, Pau Lopez and Spinazzola) of the first half, we would not do credit to our intelligence. First of all, these injuries have a very specific cause: too many games. Except for a small break between August and September, our favorites have been playing since May, with matches every 3 days since September and with some who also want to play the European Championship, which among other things are the cause of Smalling's convalescence, of Diawara who played injured and tired of many like Rick Karsdorp.

It is however a superficial analysis to say we lost because we played too many games, meanwhile because the Red Devils played even more games than us and, despite this, yesterday they had more quality and more lungs. Then we got the tactic wrong. Too bold. On 2-2 or 3-2, also given the above circumstances, more defense and counterattacks could have been done. But at the same time we were playing attack, we didn't have the right attitude, we weren't focused enough and brave enough. We did not have mental strength as Fonseca said.

Concentration, courage, combative attitude in general had to be trained with Cagliari, with Torino. It is difficult to win intermittently and it is easier for you to find continuity in defeat. And this is what happened. With the result that we lost the fight for the Champions League and we also greatly affected the Europa League semi-finals

It's crazy and exposes you to the piss to say we can recover also due to the circumstances that have arisen (injuries and out of shape players), but we have to believe it. This year, many of our men showed quality and courage like Cristante, Pellegrini, the eternal Dzeko. The first two showed up for interviews, also showing personality. We then hope to recover the injured. With these premises, perhaps we will have some chance. Daje Rome!
