AS ROMA NEWS – Roma makes no mistake and hits the first minimum goal of the season, the passage to the Europa League playoffs, by now a classic for the Giallorossi, unable even with this new formula to carve out a place in the sun to avoid the uncomfortable passage to the round of 16 that will take place in February.
With the 2-0 win over Eintracht already mathematically in the round of 16, Ranieri’s team did not need to make any calculations or hope for the others’ results: today it will know whether Porto or Ferencvaros will be its next opponent on the European path. That could deliver a cup derby in the round of 16. In the meantime, however, Roma confirms the progress seen since Sir Claudio sat on the Giallorossi bench.
The team has an identity of its own, plays even enjoyable soccer at times, and despite Dovbyk’s obvious difficulties, it hardly makes mistakes at the Olimpico. With one goal per half, Roma gives the Germans no chance. Stealing the show is a super Angelino, a left-back who has no equal in the squad. The other star of the evening is that Eldor Shomurodov who seemed now destined to say goodbye: Di Francesco’s Venezia had been waiting for him after the cup game, but Ghisolfi’s obvious difficulties in the market prompted Ranieri to hold on to the Uzbek, who was also decisive yesterday by coming on from the bench.
Roma is moving forward and leaving open the door to Europe, ground the Giallorossi have particularly loved in recent years. The cups may become the real big goal of the season, but help in the market is slow in coming: apart from Rensch, those reinforcements that were expected with some urgency at the beginning of January have not yet been identified. Indeed, now the coach fears losing in extremis even a staple of his eleven like Paredes. Confirming that for the managerial Ranieri the difficulties seem to be far greater than expected.
