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!
David Rossi (Rete Sport): “I’ll tell you right now: if Roma wins in Turin they are sure to finish ahead of them (Lazio, ed.), to go to the Europa League and after recovering 15 points from them…already in my lifetime, after the two Scudettos, it’s the best season of all time. If then unluckily at the last one we finish fourth ahead of Juve as well, then we are short muzzled by the two scudetti I experienced…”
Gianluca Piacentini (Rete Sport): “I thought Roma would win more easily against a disheveled Milan side that was down ten after 20 minutes, but instead we always have to suffer until the end. Yesterday there were several banners, even quite challenging ones, in support of Pellegrini. I in making the sum of what the season has been, I urge you not to forget what had happened before, because now there is a serious risk of the rehabilitation of the potato…we make ourselves look good and good things that until a few weeks ago we hated…”
Checco Oddo Casano (Rete Sport): “I hope Roma does not swoon for Saelemaekers, because with 20 million you can find a stronger one. If you have to exceed a certain price threshold and then keep him on the bench, then maybe better to make other choices…”
Mario Corsi (Tele Radio Stereo): “Ranieri has done a sensational thing, he brings Roma one point away from the Champions League with that rebellious team that he didn’t want anymore…He did what a soccer team coach has to do. Ranieri didn’t stop at the Roman quarrels, he overcame everything, he got those who deserved to play and he was extraordinary. The choreography of the Sud leaves one speechless, Ranieri is a legend of our colors, and he deserves everything. He also deserves another year, but Klopp is coming now anyway… The thing that hurt me most yesterday was seeing the fans lining up to get an autograph from Ryan Friedkin… The Klopp story? You put in the video, you put in the Friedkin plane stopped in Salzburg, you put Ghisolfi says they’ll bring in a great coach…”
Paolo Cosenza (Tele Radio Stereo): “Ghisolfi says they will bring in a great coach? It depends on their point of view. Because for them a great coach is the one who won the Europa League and took his team to the Champions League once again…Among other things, they tell me that Ghisolfi yesterday denied having told Zazzaroni that he will bring in a top coach, he allegedly said, “I never said that, I said that for us at the club he will be the best possible”…to me, when said like that, it sounds like a tragedy…”
Lorenzo Pes (Tele Radio Stereo): “A beautiful evening from an emotional point of view, but also because of Roma’s victory, doing theirs by beating a team that was struggling. A night that keeps us still in the running. Roma will play for Europe, hopefully at least the Europa League, but Venezia-Juve will be a real game, it’s a complicated field and they will play for their lives: a little hope is still there. The rumors about Klopp? They amused me, but there is such a wide spectrum of possibilities, from Klopp to Vieira, that I am open to all kinds of solutions, I don’t exclude anything…”
Alessio Nardo (Tele Radio Stereo): “According to many, including former Roma player Gaetano D’Agostino, such a long wait and such extreme reserve may be justified by the imminent announcement of a big name for the bench. What happened four years ago leads us not to exclude anything. That of the name of the new coach has become a morbid game of exclusion: if Allegri had signed for Roma he would not have shown up around the capital, Farioli is close to Tottenham, De Zerbi remains at Marseille, Fabregas at Como…Montella? Then Spalletti also applies, they are both busy with a national team…”
Daniele Lo Monaco (Radio Romanista): “I between Juric and Gasperini, I’ll take Gasperini…It’s clear that if Gasperini arrives, it’s because Claudio Ranieri wanted him. That is something we all know and that is apparent to those who have verified some rumors. If it were Gasperini, the Roma people would have to give credit to Ranieri’s choice. Of course, given the atmosphere that is being created, it would not be easy for Gasperini. And that is why we hope that Gasperini will go and make his fortunes elsewhere, and that Roma will aim for a different coach…”
Piero Torri (Radio Manà Manà Sport): “Roma at the last game can go to any kind of cup, Champions, Europa League and Conference, and this I think is an absolute unheard of. Thanks also to the goal of Juventus’ lead, which came in the 20th of the second half on zero to zero: but that goal is regular? That was a foul. And why doesn’t VAR intervene? No, because a week earlier in Bergamo the Indians came to call the referee…I keep hearing craziness! Yesterday I heard Ghoulam say that Gimenez’s was not red: but how can you say that? He gives him two elbows to Mancini, not one!….”
