We had talked about the loss of concentration and the sudden collapse against Austria Vienna. We had talked about Juve, which they thrives on cynicism and seize on the opportunities. Last night that did not happen, Roma made a nice stroll against a very poor team an even poorer goalkeeper, while Juve instead succumbed to a Milan transformed by Montella. Result: Today we are 2 points behind Juve, along with impressive Milan.
The star last night was Stephan El Sharaawy that looks to be back on a great form, well able to replace Diego Perotti. He even might gamble for a starting spot, especially as Salah goes to play the African Cup of Nations. A few other players like Paredeshave featured on the score sheet, while Edin Dzeko marks another beautiful one, the eighth goal of the season. Good game also byFazio, De Rossi, Florenzi and Palmieri who had come on in place of the only negative note of this Roma team: Juan Jesus. He’s not is not currently presentable, we hope Spalletti understand and leave him on the bench for a while. In contrast, Edin Dzekocontinues to score goals, helps the defense and delivers good assists to his teammates. At this time he’s critical to the team. You cannot say the same for Naingggolan, still not on his best.

Great result, yes, but let’s keep our feet on the ground. We do not want getting excited ‘cause we know too well these situations. Over time we have learned one thing. The Championship is long and wide open, what’s important is to stay remain at the top until after Christmas. Then, from February the true final sprint will begin. Next game Sassuolo on Wednesday, a tough test for our boys.
Last but not least: the “Hall of Fame” at the Stadio Olimpico. It was exciting to see again Roma great Toninho Cerezo cheering and in tears, pity to see this happenings in an empty stadium.
Slainte! Forza Roma!
