This is the choreography displayed last night in the Curva Sud. “We are the Urbe,” we are Rome and Roma. And so it was also in the field, a superiority demonstrated during 90 minutes, culminating in the goals of Diego Perotti and the incredible Radja Nainggolan who did not even have to be in the … Roma-Lazio 2-1 “We are the Urbe”
Power of heavy pressing, compact and crush. Roma is a war machine, all fighters at the service for one common goal. All equal. One worth one. The players might change but not the result: yesterday El Shaarawy, today Gerson. It is not so much about the the type of formation, but the work of EDF … Fiorentina-Roma 2-4 “War Machine”
Trick or treat? Halloween becomes a Horror Show for Antonio Conte last night and becomes the sanctification of Eusebio Di Francesco today, on All Saints Day. Roma overpowered the Blues on a magical evening, where again the giallorossi overturned all odds and destroyed Conte’s team, now fighting to keep his job against Manchester United this coming … Roma-Chelsea 3-0 “Horror Show”
Torino, Crotone, Bologna: Roma at a minimum with one nil rule. Not so impressive but solid at the back, with only five goals conceded in all season, the best defense in Serie A. History says the best defense will always grab the Scudetto in the end. Is this going to be the case again … Roma-Bologna 1-0 “One by One”
Let’s begin with the bad news: We all welcomed Rick Karsdorp back to playing days last night after five months absence. He never played before since joining Roma in the summer. We have learnt this morning that the right back has suffered the rupture the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last night. But … Roma-Crotone 1-0 “Just three points”
A pretty average game for a rough win. Eusebio Di Francesco had anticipated this during the press conference. Concentration is key. Sometimes you also win games like this during a long season. Roma came from the big test against Chelsea. It was important not to lower the concentration. The team did not shine like in London, … Match Review: Torino-Roma 0-1 “Rough Winners”
Sorry about the delay. Just back from London. Exhausted but revived, a pile of mixed feelings after two days in the English Capital; the beautiful atmosphere, the fans, the expectations before the game, then the game itself. Whatever happened at Stamford Bridge, we can be proud , whatever the result. Of course, Roma did not start … Chelsea-Roma 3-3 “Stunning”
This was the real match to test this Roma side. Napoli, top of the league, 7 win out of 7, crushing teams all along, playing great football so far. A test to determine whether this Roma team is ready to battle alongside the top sides in Serie A and in Europe. Of course, Roma lost … Match Review: Roma-Napoli 0-1 “Ready or Not”
When you win in the San Siro it’s always difficult to find anything wrong. Roma beat AC Milan two nil and without too much trouble. Milan had a couple of dangerous shots with our keeper making a couple of good saves, but that is really it. We don’t remember anything else from the Rossoneri. On … Match review: Milan-Roma 0-2 “Power test”
Good points, 3 points in the bag and second place above Atletico who lost to Chelsea. Bad points, a not so good performance against a team well below average standards in the Champions League. We were expecting a more convincing spirit and attitude, you need that in European competitions, regardless. Some player slacked on the … Qarabag-Roma 1-2 “In the bag”
