The much-anticipated Rome derby ended with a 2-3 loss to Lazio in Rome. Objectively speaking, the game was quite exciting. Both teams showed excellent skills and tactics, but Lazio’s efficient counterattack really made Roma overwhelmed. In the duel between Sarri and Mourinho, Sarri won Mourinho this round. The defeat in this game also awakened the Roma fans in their dreams-does this Roma really have the strength to compete for four?
The so-called midfielder wins the world, Roma is at a comprehensive disadvantage in the midfield battle. The three midfielders composed of Lucas, Milinkovic and Luis Alberto completely crushed Weller. Picture, the iron triangle formed by Christant and Mkhitaryan. Lazio’s three-midfield defense has hardness and passing threats. The first goal of the game was Milinkovic’s header, and Lazio’s goal in the second half came from Luis Alberto’s precise through backcourt. Compared to Lazio’s efficient counterattack, Roma played a bit differently in this game. They couldn’t open the situation in the attack of positional battle, and there was no stable point for the ball in the counterattack. The whole game was quite passive. Roma’s two goals in this game, one came from a set-piece header and the other was a penalty, which has exposed the offensive end of the problem.
In addition, Roma wasn’t excited enough or dedicated enough in this game, which is in sharp contrast with Lazio. In the second half, Zaniolo made several breakthroughs with the ball and scrambled to show blood, but apart from Zaniolo, the performance of everyone else was unsatisfactory. The defensive end of the Roma campaign has once again been magnified. Gianluca Mancini and Ibáñez have often become the background boards for Lazio celebrations. Immobile upset the Roma defense line by himself. Left back Viña was eaten raw by Felipe Anderson many times, and Karlsdorp on the right did not perform well.
In the new season, Roma won 6 consecutive victories in all competitions. After the first three rounds of Serie A, Roma even beat Naples, Inter Milan and other teams to rank first in the league. In this case, some optimistic Roma fans began to fantasize about Roma launching an impact on the Serie A championship. However, in the last three league rounds, Roma has 2 losses and 1 win, and the problems of the scene and the lineup have been exposed. The loss of this game is also an opportunity for Rome to recognize the reality and the gap. Objectively speaking, it is very difficult for Roma’s current lineup to compete in Serie A. The Red Wolves lack a midfielder and the defense of the two wings needs to be strengthened. However, Mourinho has repeatedly refused to talk about the transfer. In the market, if the winter window does not carry out targeted reinforcements, it is probably only a fantasy for Rome to get tickets for the Champions League next season.Return to Sohu to see more
