After the magic night against Feyenoord, the championship is back. Today Atalanta, Milan on Saturday (hanging Giallorossi on the charts), Monza on Wednesday May 3 and Inter on Saturday 6, for a 12-day Lombard poker game will say a lot about Roma's race to win the Champions League.
Mou, facing his first obstacle, this Atalante de Gasperini, who has long been a taboo for him, finds himself dealing with a weary team that has also lost two pieces of the puzzle. basic:
Smalling and Wijnaldum. Absent a lot, especially when the Special One - who received unexpected support from Gullit yesterday:
"Slot made a mistake, if you say 'I'm not interested in Roma football' you're insulting him. It's a stupid thing. Mourinho plays a different football, but he wins he will have to resort to rotation. One doubt is Matic:
he's hoping for a Bove chance. But overall, the one department he has a lot in is attacking. That is exactly the area that continues to be debated. Not so much about the numbers after the goal party with Sampdoria (3), Udinese (3) and Feyenoord (4) came back up to expectations. For the performance of his central striker. If Dybala continues to score - even if tonight he is wrecked by Solbakken from 1? - Belotti continues to be applauded by everyone for his commitment but as of April 24 he is still looking for a goal. first in the tournament.
However, paradoxically, the one who caused the most discussion was Abraham. Because despite scoring 7 goals (plus the trophy against Helsinki), he continues to be like the shadow of the striker bought last year.
REVENGE
Tammy found Atalanta today. Team against which he does not know half measure. Or he scores in a flash, as happened last year at Bergamo when he wipes them out with a brace, then heads back to Olimpico with the winning goal to make it 1- 0, or he is likely to make too many mistakes that he makes. to apologize to the fans. It happened in the first leg, in a 1-0 knockout at home. Abraham missed two clear chances in the last four minutes of the first half. The first time against Sportiello, he touched the ball, it was not clear whether it was dribbling or shooting on goal. Result? He went out. Then, freed by Matic, he fired with his right foot but Sportiello saved it.
Unhappy in the second half, he had the ball again but the finish was more of an assist to the keeper than a shot from the middle. For God's sake, a bad game happens to everyone.
The problem for Tammy is that the script repeats itself over and over again. And if Mou has been trying to protect him for a long time ("The important thing is the work he does, the goals will come"), now he can't afford to wait for him anymore. For this reason, today's race is very important. The Englishman has a chance to regain his place against Atalanta, who in addition to being the club where he scores the best goal average in Italy (one every 84 minutes), is also the club which he solicited before Roma. In the last 7 matches, the field was rarely witnessed. 15 minutes in San Sebastian, 24 in the derby, 57 against Sampdoria, 8 in Turin, 57 in Rotterdam, 16 against Udinese and 49 against Feyenoord.
