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!
David Rossi (Sports Network): “I didn’t like anything yesterday. I didn’t like the starting lineup, I didn’t like the attitude of the team, I didn’t like the individual and collective performances, I didn’t like the serenity with which this result was accepted that takes away the third goal of the season. I would like to remind you that we were told that De Rossi had been sent off to win trophies, and I don’t see this happening…Yesterday Milan closed the game with Joao Felix on an assist from Gimenez, the two pearls of the January market. And Roma, on the other hand, who does Roma bring in? Nelsson to rest Hummels when the game is over. There must be a difference, right?….”
Gianluca Piacentini (Rete Sport): “Yesterday’s match encapsulates all of Roma’s contradictions. The first half we should have been ahead, and instead you close down two-nil. Dovbyk? The first ball that comes his way he scores, and that’s what a center forward has to do. The forwards have to score goals and the defenders have to defend. He has already gone well into double figures, and if I think of a problem for Roma I don’t think of him…If Milan allowed themselves to make certain investments in the market in January and Roma didn’t, in June it will be even worse, because the gap increases. Where you don’t get there with money you have to do it with managerial skill, which you don’t have…”
Checco Oddo Casano (Sports Network): “If you buy a 40-million center forward and bench him because you want to play a counterattack game, it means that either you’re doing the wrong way on the field or you made bad choices originally when you go to buy Dovbyk. So why don’t you play him in Naples? Last night he comes in and scores a goal, the others either got defenders or pulled out… Judging a season not up to the 40 million is one thing, seeing that suddenly the titular center forward is on the bench in a decisive match is another, then I get the idea that Shomurodov will play in Porto too. With the risk that he won’t even score there, because he averages a goal every 20 games…The problem is that Shomurodov stays as a deputy Dovbyk because you weren’t able to get another one, but we’ve been told he’s nice…”
Tiziano Moroni (Rete Sport): “Can it be said that Dovbyk has not proven to be worth the 40 million spent on him in the summer? Ranieri yesterday decided to make a strategic choice that he cannot make with Dovbyk, because if you go to Milan and you play an attacking game, I put Dovbyk inside the opponent’s area, if you have to play on the counterattack and you need a striker who runs like a tamer, Dovbyk is not the center forward that’s good…”
Mario Corsi (Tele Radio Stereo): “Roma is a poor team with an even poorer club. Ranieri dumped Pellegrini, we said he hadn’t played with Napoli so that he could play in Milan and instead he was back on the bench yesterday too…Milan yesterday also tried to let you win, every time he passed the ball back to us and I didn’t understand why, and you managed to lose 3 to 1…There is no dignity in this team: yesterday best player Abraham, after that there is nothing more to say…”
Alessio Nardo (Tele Radio Stereo): “On a night like yesterday, everyone is guilty and no one is innocent: the players did not show personality, the coach made the wrong choices, but even the company is not exempt in the specific event. In the direct confrontation of ambition you come out resoundingly defeated. The comparison is between a club that once again wanted to focus on the future, and hopefully give us great satisfaction, and another club that was able to afford major purchases. And the market matters, because in a moment of difficulty for Milan, Conceicao throws in those two who build the 3 to 1 action…The club did not guarantee the coach a market up to the mark…”
Lorenzo Pes (Tele Radio Stereo): “Dovbyk did not play against Napoli, so in this case we are not talking about fatigue or the market…it was a crazy choice. Against Pavlovic and Tomori, objectively, what do you think Shomurodov can do? But Celik guys, it’s inexplicable…you got Rensch who I hope is better, and I have to see Celik again…It all looked badly prepared to me. You had come to this game with a perfect run, but how do you come so deflated to such a game? I give a minimal percentage to the market yesterday, the game is not decided by the changes. You went on 2-1 and stopped playing. You can make all the changes you want, but it’s a mental thing…In my opinion the market yesterday affects in 10 percent…”
Piero Torri (Radio Manà Manà Sport): “Abraham is not a pimp, this is beyond doubt. Then for goodness sake, I don’t want to see him in a Roma jersey anymore…Roma in the first half created 4-5 sharp goal actions, and Milan scored two goals…Roma now shouldn’t lose anymore to get the season back on its feet, and we know that’s not possible. Now really nothing is enough to say they are all pipponi, but for me this is not a ninth place team. Everyone is to blame; Juric’s three months were a murder of Roma to whom I don’t even give general extenuating circumstances. Then the team has limitations, and it is performing below its potential. But this is a bad season, and it’s almost impossible now to get it back on its feet…it’s a season to be taken and flushed down the toilet…”
Roberto Pruzzo (Radio Radio): “How many from Roma would play in this Milan team? It’s a stupid question that came to my mind yesterday when I was seeing the changes made by the two teams. Dovbyk flunked? I hope not. He has to understand that he has to give more, even though he then scored the goal. Yesterday you realize the paucity you have at your disposal, Roma doesn’t have a fourth-place team, but at full strength they’re playing for the back-row places…”
Stefano Agresti (Radio Radio): “Ranieri’s choices against Napoli were the ones he believed in, I thought he kept out Pellegrini and Dovbyk to play them in Milan, and instead what was supposed to be the reserve team is the starting one. The idea of preferring Shomurodov to Dovbyk surprised me, for me between the two there is no match. Just as I was surprised by the exclusion of Pellegrini, that he doesn’t play as a starter in either match is quite surprising to me…”
Alvaro Moretti (Radio Radio): “Roma and Milan are two messy teams, in which I don’t see the hand of the coach…Conceicao throws the dice and puts them on the field, but every restart they play 4-6 as a form. And Roma I don’t know how they can defend like that there, I don’t know what they do during training, but they don’t learn…it’s a criminal game that Roma played, taking restarts like that is not conceivable. And then Dybala has to score goals, he is a player who is no longer there, the memory is left, he has to determine games like these…”
