Lazio.

When we talk about the derby, we must also talk about Rome, the name rejected by Lazio in 1900, and represented by us after the merger of the other 3 biggest clubs in Rome (Alba, Fortitudo and Roman). It is important to talk about the city of Rome. The most beautiful city in the world. The navel of the world, Jovanotti would say. The city that in the center tells you the history and art, which in East Rome (from San Lorenzo to 100celle, passing through the Pigneto) gives you the opportunity to woo beautiful tourists and which slowly dies in decay the further you move away from the Colosseum and San Peter. Rome is the most beautiful and most problematic city in the world. There is the problem of waste. The buses are poor, old and often late. The underground has only 2.5 lines (as currently Metro C is connected only to Metro A). The bureaucratic system is pachydermal and slow. The administration is often mediocre. The solutions are there. For example, for public transport you can take advantage of the many railway lines, giving them a underground frequency. Rome is a beautiful and fragile flower. It should be treated with kindness. By Romans. And from Italy. You cannot say that you have truly lived without having passed through Rome once.

And when he caresses you, he makes you her, he makes you a Roman. Antonello Venditti

In a week there will be the first round of the elections for mayor. I will vote for Gualtieri (PD). Mayor Raggi (M5S) was used as a scapegoat for a little bit of everything, but also from an objective point of view it proved to be inadequate (just think of how an important investment such as the Stadio della Roma was managed). The arch-enemy of the M5S philosophy is Calenda, but her candidacy seems appropriate only for her ego. He would be a good administrator, but he has no chance to get to the ballot and her only (in) usefulness is not to let her friend Gualtieri go to the second round (for which he made an endorsement for the European elections of a few years does). He draws from the same electoral basin as Gualtieri and favor Raggi, against whom in reality you would have stood as a candidate. You do not even convince me the candidate of the center, Michetti, with almost no experience of administration. As often happens to the center-right, the main problem is not racism, or homophobia, or the ambiguous attitude with the novax (which would already be valid reasons), but the inability to administer well. If Gualtieri does not get to the ballot, he will vote whoever confronts the almost certain Michetti.

Voting for Gualtieri and the Roman PD does not mean voting for the best in the world. The Roman PD is full of corruption, of incompetent administrators, of people who give me hives like the head of the group at the Capitol, Pelonzi. My vote for Gualtieri is in the hope that the mayor's skills and honesty will change this city. In short, that he resumed the work not finished by Ignazio Marino, then stabbed in the back (metaphor) by the PD. My vote for Gualtieri is for the healthy part of the Roman PD, that of Caudo, the one that had laid the foundations for a new Rome. A city that will be not only the most beautiful in the world, but also innovative, evolved and easy like all the great European cities.

We are not interested about your skin-colour, your religion and your political choice. What we are interested is you feek par of the team, the club and the city of Rome. Daje Roma!

Sarri fielded the 433. They do not have a great pressing, while the construction is good. In general it is an excellent team with a great defensive phase (thanks to the defensive line Lazzari, Luis Felipe, Acerbi, Hysaj and with Lucas Leiva helping) and a great attacking phase, with Luis Alberto prompter and Immobile who shoots precise and strong with right and is insidious even with the left.

The construction: Immobile goes back into the construction if the midfielders are pressed, even if the results are not great. Lucas Leiva is a good midfielder mainly in the defensive phase, not in the construction, and Milinkovic Savic helps him. If we press the Serbian too, they can get into trouble. They can also build with Lazzari, very good at doing the give and go with the Serbian partner. Alternatively they can build with Luis Alberto, but he is not very suitable for this phase (in any case we press him too).

The two players in the best form are Milinkovic Savic (real team man) and Lazzari (the best Italian right back). They are the two best players in attacking and shooting together with Ciro.

They can develop the game with full backs. On the right, Lazzari looks for the triangle mainly with Milinkovic Savic, also arriving in the offensive zone for the assist for Immobile or for the shot on the far post. On the left, Hysaj overlaps with Felipe Anderson.

Lately they fielded Felipe Anderson right wing and Pedro left wing, in order to give the opportunity to cross for Immobile, especially Felipe Anderson. Pedro is ambidextrous and his attitude is mainly shooting, so I can't rule out Pedro's shot from the left a priori.

Pedro on the left and Felipe Anderson on the right favor the assist for Immobile, but I can't rule out Pedro going towards the center to shoot right, as he has a great aptitude for shooting.

They can also reverse them, having Pedro right wing and Felipe Anderson left wing play. Be careful because Pedro is very good with his left-footed shot (with which he scored in the last derby).

Pedro on the right and Felipe Anderson on the left favors their move towards the center and the shot, also regarding Felipe Anderson

At a tactical level, the aspect that we will have to take care of the most is NOT ALLOWING THE COUNTER.

If a Roma player is not mentally ready to face this match as a matter of life or death, it is better that he does not take the field. Certainly the cards must be avoided, but we must be aware that it is a game played on the nerves, on the cheering, on the motivations to win rather than on tactics. If you are ready to give your life to win, victory will not escape us. Daje Roma!
