LATEST AS ROMA NEWS – Our daily appointment dedicated to the colorful world of Roman radio continues. On Air, the most copied (and pasted) column on the web, is a journey through the frequencies most listened to by Giallorossi fans on the hunt for thoughts, news, rumors and some colorful notes. Enjoy!
Gianluca Piacentini (Rete Sport): “There are two free coaches who are two separate paths and are going in opposite directions: Allegri and Sarri. Would I take Sarri? Of course I would take him, as a field coach he is worth Spalletti…Beyond the fact that he was their (Lazio’s, ed.) coach, he won the Scudetto and Europa League, he is still someone who coached Juventus and Chelsea…”
Checco Oddo Casano (Sports Network): “Di Battista? It has nothing to do with the fact that he is from Lazio, these are people who ride anything to make a comeback, now he has gone to plant trees in an area where everyone usually goes to walk their children, the famous Central Park in Pietralata… The coach? At this moment in history he should be an enhancer and not a resource manager. Today Capello, Batistuta and Samuel you cannot have them. Who do you have to get? Gasperini, if you want to improve Roma and bring back rules and a working culture. Otherwise you have to go to Pioli, but Sarri can also fit…”
Fabio Petruzzi (Rete Sport): “If we talk about liking or disliking, that’s one thing, but if we talk about coaching, Sarri is good… Tonight’s game? If you make a competition only to not take goals, you take them. You goals you have to, because Roma at the back doesn’t provide solidity. Roma is stronger than this Porto, a young team and under construction…”
Mario Corsi (Tele Radio Stereo): “The penalty given against Atalanta? If something like that happened to Roma, I would go to the square…I have never seen a penalty like that. But I do not revel in the misfortunes of others, I would love to beat Atalanta…Tonight’s game? Roma must win, or at least draw. Trees planted in Pietralata? Di Battista is from Lazio…a big tractor will pass by and take everything down…These are really stupid things: either you have serious things to say, and then one stops everything, but this is really a big bullsh*t…”
Paolo Cosenza (Tele Radio Stereo): “Trees planted in Pietralata? I have nothing to do with it… At the stadium you couldn’t get there, I’m telling you….you can’t say that in that stadium you can get there in 35-40 thousand by public transport and the metro, because it’s not true…”
Lorenzo Pes (Tele Radio Stereo): “In an inside-out European match Pellegrini, beyond what he’s been giving lately, definitely has more experience than Pisilli and that in my opinion matters when you have to make certain choices. That’s why in my opinion Pellegrini starts favored tonight. Roma has to try to get a result, if we avoid necessarily having to make a comeback in the return match it would not be bad. I think it’s a game that Roma can easily play…”
Matteo De Santis (Radio Manà Manà Sport): “Ranieri’s nervousness these days? The passing of Giorgio Pellizzaro has certainly tried the coach, a person he was very close to. This has definitely exacerbated the fatigue that is there…”
Piero Torri (Radio Manà Manà Sport): “I think it will be complicated to get to Svilar’s renewal, despite the enthusiasm I read in the newspapers…but how much did Svilar ask for to renew? That’s the key: if he asked for 2 million, the deal is done in 24 hours, but if he asked for 4 million it will be much more complicated…”
Tony Damascelli (Radio Radio): “I read and hear about Cristante, Pellegrini and Pisilli… We are at the Roma outlet. I have another staff in my head. Guys, we are talking about Roma, and Ranieri is doing incredible things with this staff always looking for itself. In some games it gives you breathing room, in others it makes you insult gods. Looking at the players and the alternatives, I understand Roma’s difficulties…”
Stefano Agresti (Radio Radio): “Pellegrini for me is a great mystery. He stays out, comes back in the derby, is decisive and then disappears again. An almost incomprehensible thing…It’s as if he went in psychophysical condition only for that special match. I don’t understand it. I think at the end of the season the paths have to part for the good of one and the other. Here he is not expressing himself at his levels, which may not be extraordinary, but he has quality. The environmental conditions are not ideal, they both have to work to arrive at a different solution…”
Nando Orsi (Radio Radio): “I don’t know if tonight will depend on Roma, Ranieri has always played to adapt and not to impose himself. Porto sold a lot, but Portuguese teams with dribbling put you in trouble. In the double-header it’s tough, Roma is not favored but they have the same chances. Ranieri knows how to be smart, though. Svilar’s renewal? Right for Roma to start putting some pieces in place. The best goalkeeper in Italy is Meret, then there is Maignan, Carnesecchi and Svilar…”
Roberto Pruzzo (Radio Radio): “Roma can’t turn the game around like what happened to Milan yesterday. You have to take measures, not concede easy situations and up front you have to create problems. There are the right men, the experience of the big guys is not lacking, I think there is awareness that this is a fundamental crossroads… Tonight we need the best Roma. I like Svilar a lot, he doesn’t go over, he’s a professional. On his renewal we have to think about it, even if he still has two years left on his contract, and they are not few…”
