Roma – CSKA Sofia 5-1

InnanziTotti, congratulations to CSKA. He came to Rome to play his tidy match in defense, then as soon as he had the chance, thanks to an excellent Mazikou, he took the lead with Carey's goal. The Irishman is good at making a double tunnel in Villar and Mancini and at burning with his left Rui Patricio. 1-0. Roma started shyly.

The great turnover in this match brought many unaccustomed players onto the pitch. We are a bit shy in looking for the difficult solution, especially with the two midfielders, Diawara-Villar. The Captain takes care of taking the team by the hand and with a pitch (an approach shot to the green in golf that makes the plumb ball fall close to the hole) overtakes Busatto. 1-1. The poor Swiss goalkeeper will collect more balls inside the goal.

Roma is rampant. Here comes the beautiful goal from ElSha that hits with effect to go out from outside the box on the nearest post. Then comes the second goal from Pelle, thanks to a nice dribbling and assist from Calafiori. Mancini's goal after Smalling's post. And to close Abraham even if probably spoiled by offside. 5-1 unfair to the Bulgarians who did not deserve such severe punishment.

5-1 defense fruit. Roma is a team. Everyone is willing to help each other. The wings help the full backs. The midfielders the central backs. If necessary, we throw the ball in the stands. If necessary, we do not build the ball on the ground, but we throw along. Result: 6 wins out of 6 games. Messier Mourinho, chapeau.

On the other hand, the situation of the Italians is negative. The only ones who have won are Roma and Juventus. Napoli and Atalanta drew with difficult opponents like Leicester and Villareal, both 2-2. The Milanese have had to surrender to two queens of Europe such as Liverpool, who beat Milan 3-2, and Real, who beat Inter 0-1 at the end. But the most disappointing was Lazio, traditionally a defense and counterattack club, distorted by Sarri's offensive ideas, which has become neither meat nor fish. Punished by the lack of concentration of Lazzari and above all of the goalkeeper Strakosha, she was forced to surrender by Galatasaray.

Roma are first together with Bodo Glimt who defeated Zorja 3-1, but don't give the Ukrainians for dead. Don't give the Bulgarians for dead. And do not hurry to crown the Norwegians as the main opponents for the first place, which is essential to avoid the round of 32, two more games that we will gladly do without. There will be to rumble and fight for everyone, even for us. We must be well aware of this. Daje Roma!
