The Roma has jammed. After a start to the championship above expectations and an unbeaten run that lasted until the ninth day, the Giallorossi seem to have suffered the blow of the heavy defeat suffered on the field of Napoli, which was followed by the home draw against Sassuolo. In just a week, Fonseca’s team lost five points to Inter and Milan and three to Juventus, but in addition to the controversy over Maresca’s referee direction against Sassuolo, it was above all the words of Lorenzo Pellegrini at the end of the game.
The midfielder of the Roma and the national team gave “failures” to fans who contested the team’s test. An instinctive outburst linked to the difficult moment of the team, but that certainly the warm Giallorossi fans did not like. Sui social Criticism immediately flooded the midfielder, who seemed not enough to justify himself a few hours later by specifying that he did not want to attack those who criticized sports, but only those who did so in a biased way.
The fact is that the outburst came at the height of a difficult moment for Pellegrini, between Coronavirus recently put behind and not exciting performances. The technician Fonseca set him in a new, more backward role in front of the defense and the product of the Giallorossi nursery alternated positive tests with others disappointing, come that of Naples.
All this without considering that in the new position Pellegrini risks losing his place in National, given the competition, and that by moving away from the goal the fasting from goals, which the player has been missing for a year, has increased temporally. Join the negotiation for the renewal of the contract expiring in June 2022, which is not released, and here the risk for Roma is to lose another player born and raised at home, as happened with Florenzi, but at a very different age.
The suitors are not lacking, above all Inter e Juventus: Conte always esteem Pellegrini, as well as Pirlo. Both clubs have been aiming for some time now to Italianise the squad and the bianconeri to rejuvenate it. Next summer, perhaps after a good European, could be the one to try to snatch him from Rome if the renewal does not arrive.
