AS ROMA NEWS – After the disappointments in the league, Roma is already saying goodbye to the Coppa Italia, surrendering in front of the “tremendous quality” of Milan: at San Siro it ends 3 to 1 for the Rossoneri, who effectively exploit the defensive errors of a team with too many flaws.
Ranieri decides to put his faith in a running and leg Roma by surprisingly inserting young Pisilli into the starting eleven in place of Pellegrini and Shomurodov, on the ball in recent appearances, in the role of key striker. The team does not play badly, creates a lot, but is not sufficiently effective in front of Maignan, saved on several occasions by an extraordinary Tomori.
Roma, on the other hand, pays dearly for the absence of Mancini, replaced with very disappointing results first by Celik and then by Rensch. The whole defense is the one to founder: even Hummels will turn out to be among the worst on the field. Abraham scores his first double in the Rossoneri, and he does it, needless to say, against his former team: first he takes off in total solitude in the box, then he is thrown into the yellow and red prairies by Theo, and he is cold with the saucer in front of Svilar.
In the second half, Ranieri retraced his steps, inserting Pellegrini, Rensch, and Dovbyk: the results seemed to show immediately, with the Ukrainian scoring a goal as an area raptor. But the hope of a comeback is an illusion, because the team’s performance suddenly loses consistency. Milan just needs to insert the new signings to rekindle enthusiasm, and it is Joao Felix who strikes, also launched all alone in front of Svilar.
Roma goes out and says goodbye to the Coppa Italia, a competition that was once friendly ground for the Giallorossi but has become a taboo for years. Now all that remains is the Europa League: in the next two weeks the Capitolini will play another slice of the season in the doubleheader with Porto. First, however, there is to see how the team will react to yet another knockout away from the Olimpico, this time a decisive one. “I’m very curious,” Ranieri will say somewhat polemically at the end of the game. Given the external performance of this Roma team, there is little cause for complacency.
