Feyenoord - Rome
Roma, compared to their last performance, last Saturday against Inter, seemed to be improving in physical condition and this also bodes well
.
Maybe it will be difficult to get to the final in Dublin, as José Mourinho thought he would, but in the meantime, hoping for a place in the top "eight or sixteen" as Daniele De Rossi said is certainly not a utopia.
In the bedlam of De Kuip with more than 50,000 wild Dutch fans (Roma's supporters had been banned from this trip) and who before the start of the match displayed a banner welcoming the guests in the stands quoting "The Gladiator", with the phrase pronounced by Russell Crowe as Massimo Decimo Meridio: "At my signal unleash hell", Roma have always shown mastery of the game.
In fact, it maintained a slight supremacy in ball possession (51% at the end) and almost never suffered the supremacy of its opponents, except in the final, when Feyenoord tried to push in search of the winning goal and at that point, to contain , De Rossi sent Celik onto the field first and then the injured Cristante in place of the booked Bove (who will miss the return match as he was within a booking of a booking).
Feyenoord - Rome
Roma complain about the crossbar hit by Paredes and the distraction of Llorente who, in injury time in the first half, on Hartman's cross from the left in the center of the area was lost to Paixao who, with his header, did not forgive and beat Svilar.
A blow that could have done a lot of damage, but in the second half Roma held their own, putting their coach's words into practice.
"Strong teams play their game everywhere", said De Rossi and they seemed like prophetic words, not surprisingly also repeated after the match.
Meanwhile, Lukaku found his way back to the net, winning the duel with Hancko and, following Spinazzola's cross, touching the ball with his shoulder just enough to beat Wellenreuther.
The Roma fans can only hope that it is a good omen for the return.
