Roma – Fiorentina 3-1
Roma win against an excellent Fiorentina. Suffers but wins. Tammy Abraham is great. First he provokes Dragowski's red card and then serves a perfect assist to Mkhi who scores. 1-0. 11 against 10 we are lazy. We don't kill the game. Moreover 11 against 10 you must always take into account that the referee is dying to rebalance the game numerically, so it is not surprising the red card for Zaniolo, which is right for me. We are not aggressive enough on the ball on the Viola's cross and then Milinkovic Savic scores. 1-1. We immediately regain the lead with Veretout on an assist from Tammy Abraham. 2-1.
Then we suffer a bit because Pellegrini does not cover their left, our right and Karsdorp is in the middle between Biraghi and Nico Gonzalez. Then when he makes the right wing, he first makes an excellent cross for Abraham who hits the crossbar with his head (at 1-1) and then Lorenzo facilitates Eldor's personal action. He shakes off Pulgar and then serves Veretout for his personal double and goal of 3-1.
Good 11 against 11. Good 10 against 10. Bad 11 against 10. This is the analysis of Mourinho, who also complimented the referee Pairetto for running the perfect match and for the correct use of the VAR they decided. the first two goals of Roma (analysis with which I perfectly agree). Reviewing and hearing the Curva Sud and all the stadium is wonderful. To underline the good performance of Rui Patricio, whom I had criticized too much, and of the central defenders, Ibanez-Mancini. Karsdorp did well on defense, but he had to raise his head to see the box and perfect his crosses.
I continue to consider Juventus as the favorite for the Scudetto, despite the draw in Udine (2-2). Ronaldo's goal disallowed for offside also brought Roma into play on the use of the VAR, but if there is an interpretative space on penalties, on the offside the objectivity of the VAR is indisputable. The problem is that Italy has a problem with the Truth especially when it punishes the powe. Just remember that the Senate (not so long ago and on a moral level Italy hasn't changed that much) voted that Ruby was Mubarak's granddaughter. The other greats have all won: Inter against Genoa 4-0, Lazio at Empoli 1-3, Atalanta in the Grande Torino stadium (1-2) and Napoli against Venezia (2-0). Milan will play tonight in Genoa against Sampdoria.
A good day starts in the morning and Roma started well with 2 wins against 2 excellent teams. Maybe for the next games Fiorentina should try to play without an offside so exasperated, which then provoked the red card of Dragowski, key to the match. Perhaps it should be more humble as I intended in the pre-match, but then it also depends on the attitude and the technical quality of the opponent. Now, we have to aim for Trabzonspor and, despite the result of the first leg, which also allows us to equalize, we only have to think about winning. Daje Roma!
