In Naples it was the sign of destiny. It was the Maradona-Day. Chronicle of an announced disaster. The Europa League was almost a liberation, before the resumption of the league next Sunday. A victory that leads us to win the group with one round to spare. We are in the last 16 also thanks to the freshness of some young hopefuls.
Riccardo Calafiori showed off a high-level performance topped off with a fantastic goal. He had already glimpsed a lot of personality and character with Juve, even having suffered serious injuries. The boy will go a long way if bad luck stops haunting him. And then the Spanish Armada. Borja Mayoral in the first place. A lot of movement, spaces created for his teammates, strength and technique, also on the scoresheet.
Villar also made a good performance, tenacious as few to fight in the middle of the field. With Carles Perez moving along and creating upfront. In short, it was a nice Roma team of young people who redeemed the blackout at Napoli, then with the help of the senior players in the second half who helped to bring home the qualification.
If there was a physical-mental problem then it could have been a simple episode. Napoli are very strong, but Roma didn’t take the field. But now we need another good response to confirm this. Now, Sassuolo on Sunday. It will be a difficult match. They play very good football. If we want to have some ambition we must get up quickly to resume the journey. The group is there. The team as well. Let’s go and deliver. Head down and pedal. Daje Roma.
