With poker foisted on Brighton, the Roma has placed a very heavy mortgage on the passage of the shift to Europa League, but above all he confirmed his extraordinary form. Since when Daniele De Rossi took the place on the bench of Jose Mourinho, it was January 16th, the Giallorossi collected something like seven victories, a draw and a defeat (but against the Inter army in a match with some questionable refereeing episodes) between the championship and the cup. But what is the secret of the DDR cure? The person concerned explained this after the success against his friend De Zerbi’s team. “It’s not that he did who knows what, he just channeled everything in the best way”, his words.
In other words: whoever was there before was doing something wrong because the players have demonstrated, in these scarce two months, that they are at a much higher level than what the pitch had shown until mid-season. Therefore, Mourinho himself ends up in the crosshairs, who with the same human material had only managed to create a nervous team incapable of playing a game worthy of his many champions. Despite a few too many injuries, it must be acknowledged.
One of the most striking examples of the Romanist revival goes by the name of
Leandro Paredes. The Argentine world champion was coming off a disastrous season at
Juve. Little commitment, few flashes, head for the World Cup like Di Maria and a anything but proactive attitude had marked his return to Italy as a failure. Despite Allegri placing great trust in him.
The air of Rome, however, regenerated him, made him feel at home again and when De Rossi broke the chains that kept him imprisoned, the former PSG player showed off all his talent, transforming himself into authentic beacon of the Giallorossi midfield. To get confirmation, just look at the millimeter assist for the goal
Dybala right against Brighton. The “five” between the Argentine and the coach after Cristante’s goal is the symbolic image. Maybe it just needed the right environment. Or the right coach…
