“Roma are ready.” This is what he said before the double fixture against Porto, we now know that certainly no longer exist. After yet another inexplicable blackout in the field, Luciano Spalletti does not like it and accuses the team, defining their players very soft and little combative.
But there’s more. According to us there is something underneath, something that changed the cards on the table. The Tuscan coach was convinced to have a competitive team, believe in certain players and personalities of some, but has had to think again. Exactly after Porto and now at the Sant’Elia stadium in Cagliari.
Today 0-2 lead without risking anything, then you suffer sudden lapses in concentration, simple passings mistakes, a growing fear of themselves, that the opponent gains strength to punish you as our usual. Marco Borriello only scores against Roma, better buy it back right away. After got the goal, the team suffers sensational blackouts and loss of self-esteem.
The team has no head and the right mentality that instead dwells in other realities. They managed to concede again the usual silly goals and save those who have already surrounded raising the white flag. Script already seen and reread.
This time Spalletti need to go straight on its way and rely to those who deserve to play and not to the senators, must face the choices to make, and clarifies who is the regular goalkeeper, the captain, and striker, if ever there was … There is still time to recover, but first you need to decide how you grow, and if this group has actually still room to become mature in football, to acquire that winning mentality here now missing for too long.
Porto cannot become for Spalletti what Bayern Munich became for Rudi Garcia. We just cannot afford that anymore.
