Roma starts again, Udinese stretched: Abraham is enough

by admin

ROME. Roma are not enthusiastic but take home, with difficulty and despite a general tiredness which at times appeared evident, the victory against Udinese, redeeming the stumbling block in Verona. The 1-0 signed by Abraham gives three points that cheer up an environment always poised between depression and euphoria after the knockout of Verona, and that will allow José Mourinho to calmly prepare for Sunday’s confrontation with Maurizio Sarri, in a derby of the Long-awaited capital. The expulsion for double yellow – the referee Rapuano on the second – of Pellegrini will not make it easier for him, who will deprive Roma of its captain. Abraham’s goal with a touch on an assist from Calafiori (who with a decent performance wanted to respond to the words of the coach about him) also means that Mou always confirms himself as a winner when he faces Udinese: between Inter and Roma, now he The Portuguese ‘score’ is five wins in five comparisons with the Friulians.

The match was made, of course, by Roma, with Udinese, three days ago scrambled by Napoli with a poker of goals, compact in their own half and ready to restart every time the opponent left a space in which to slip . After a first half that Roma closed the lead with merit, and after having hit the posts twice in the first eight minutes with Mkhitaryan and Zaniolo, in the second half thanks to the freshness of the new grafts Stryger Larsen and Soppy the guests dared more , also taking advantage of the physical cast of Rome. But luckily for Mourinho, the Giallorossi defense and his compatriot goalkeeper Rui Patricio avoided the collapse, although the home team lost too many balls. So for Udinese of a disappointed Gotti there was nothing left but to complain about the scoring opportunities not realized in the first half by Pussetto (shot raised in the corner to an empty goal by Mancini after a rejected by Rui Patricio) and in the second half by Udogie (diagonal low shot that ends at the edge of the post to the left of Rui Patricio), Soppy (right just over the crossbar) and Deulofeu (shot blocked by the opposing goalkeeper). In the recovery there was also a free-kick from Deulofeu raised for a corner by Rui Patricio, but to be honest, the Spaniard’s ‘placed’ from Udinese was a bit too central to be really dangerous.

So in the end Roma wins proving to know how to suffer, even if in this match they have done it too much, and manage to bring home the result. But this is not the team that Mourinho’s arrival had made us dream: after all, for the technician his team is a work in progress, so all that remains is to wait. And in the meantime we continue to play, and the squad does not seem so full of alternatives to match. Hence, since we play too often, the tiredness that even today was about to cause trouble.
