You don’t need official announcements or studied interviews. Sometimes a post, written from the heart, is enough. What Lorenzo Pellegrini posted after Roma-Milan, with images of the banners dedicated to him by the Curva Sud next to it, is something that goes beyond social: it is a declaration of love, an act of loyalty in a complicated moment.
The Roma captain, coming off a difficult season marked by injuries and criticism, has chosen to stay, writes today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport. Despite everything. And he said it in his own way: “Thank you all for supporting the team and me last night at the Stadio Olimpico. Now there is only the last battle of the season left to play together. Today is already one less day to come back to play and fight for our colors, I will work hard to make myself look my best next season.” A direct, sincere message accompanied by Giallorossi hearts. A clear signal: Pellegrini is not quitting.
On Sunday he was on the bench on crutches, having just undergone surgery in Finland on his rectus femoris tendon. A strong, almost symbolic image, while a banner stood out in the stands, “Lorenzo Pellegrini, always by your side.” A message that was then amplified by the three banners depicting Totti, De Rossi and Pellegrini embracing Claudio Ranieri. An icon of Roman-ness passing the baton to his spiritual heirs. Rome has understood this. And he, as captain, responded in kind.
