“They fought like warriors. They run lik hell. Pressing like never before, Roma showed Lyon from the start they wanted to win this game. And they did. But it was not meant to be. It was a siege, into the first minutes, shot after shot, Roma went on to display one of the best performance … Roma-OL 2-1: “Bad luck”
“Roma returned to winning ways. A Roma team with El Sharaawy, Paredes, Juan Jesus and Mario Rui, but above all to Clément Grenier. Excellent display by the Frenchman, at his debut from the start showed a brilliant technique and vision. Spalletti has another weapon at his disposal for the league and Italian Cup. El Sharaawy … Palermo-Roma 0-3: “Resurgence”
After Coppa Italia and Serie A, last night Roma compromised the passage in Europa League, too. A terrible week! “Last night Roma played an impressive first half, 1-2 up and many chances to wrap up the tie completely wasted! Second half with the handbrake on, almost static. Run out of steam? Mental state? Or both? … Europa League, Lione-Roma 4-2: “A terrible week”
“Let’s clear right away the doubts: Napoli deserved to win. Indeed, it could have been worse. The fact that Roma have had a reaction down by two goals, with five, six goal opportunities and a lot of bad luck does not change much our judgment. You can not begin to play a football match at … Roma-Napoli 1-2: “Deflated”
“Exactly what we feared. Unfortunately. Roma enter the field too confident, a reckless attitude as to close the qualifying round in half an hour. Rambling on and slamming against a Lazio wall, built to defend but also to exploit the chasms left behind by Roma. We had no doubt Lazio were going to play this … Tim Cup, Lazio-Roma 2-0: “First round”
“A soft Roma team for a soft defeat. Distracted and ineffective, into the field to defend the 0-4 to Villarreal. Match perhaps snubbed, conditioned by lack of concentration and so many changes in the starting lineup, some wrong changes made by the coach, admitted by himself, Luciano Spalletti. Roma made a bad display tonight, especially … Europa League, Roma-Villarreal 0-1: “Soft defeat”
“If Roma could play like this every time! The second half was the best seen this year, great football, lots of chances, lots of goals, did not concede anything, just near perfection. A big surprise. After the Cesena game we were expecting a tough customer, instead apart from the first 15 mins, Roma were able … Roma-Fiorentina 4-0: “Overwhelming”
“The King of Rome is not dead”. Once again, here’s King Francesco Totti. The captain comes to the rescue by scoring the late, late penalty in deep injury time, the goal that sends Roma to a double leg semifinal against arch-rivals Lazio. A fairly easy opponent on paper, Serie B team Cesena eliminated two Serie … Tim Cup, Roma-Cesena 2-1: “Golden Penalty”
Let’s start by talking about the referee Mr.Rocchi. It’s true, Toloi had to be sent off in the action of the penalty, but it cannot be just the refs fault here, we can’t forget what has Roma done in the second half, frankly. Indeed, the referee has had a good game in our view. Roma … Atalanta-Roma 2-1: “At the first negative episode they get depressed, do not react”
