The renewed
Roma
of the Italian
Daniele De Rossi
continues to grow since the arrival of the new coach and, this Saturday, they beat
Monza
(1-4) to get into the fight for a qualifying place for the next Champions League, which today has them just one point.
The Argentines
Paulo Dybala
, with a free kick, and
Leandro Paredes
, with a penalty, settled the match at the end of the match.
Rome needed little time to adapt to De Rossi's idea.
Since the arrival of the Romanista legend with a past in Boca, the 'Loba'
has only lost 1 of the 10 duels
she has played, and it was against the almighty Inter who are intractable in Serie A. In these handful of weeks, she also managed the pass to the round of 16 of the Europa League in which they will face Facundo Buonanotte and Valentín Barco's Brighton, this Thursday at the Olympic Stadium.
Against Monza, far from the heat of their excited fans, the 'giallorossi' showed that they have football.
And the first scare came from the Bosnian Milan Djuric with a header against the post that left the Serbian goalkeeper Mile Svilar without reaction, already established as a starter ahead of the Portuguese Rui Patricio, a starter during the time of his compatriot
José Mourinho
on the bench. of substitutes.
But the warning from
Monza
, a very competitive team that puts every rival in trouble and that recently beat
Milan
(4-2), made De Rossi's team react, and within a few minutes they were already the owners of the game.
A JEWEL OF A JEWEL!!

In fact, he needed just 3 minutes to shout the first, due to an action between Dybala and the Italian Bryan Cristante, but which the VAR annulled due to offside from the Córdoba player.
The dominance of the visitors did not take long to take effect.
In the 37th minute, Italian
Lorenzo Pellegrini
opened the scoring with a cross shot from inside the area;
and in the 41st minute, the Belgian
Romelu Lukaku
extended the lead thanks to a personal play by Dybala with which
he broke his 42-day drought without scoring in Serie
A.
Already in the second half, around game time, it was the turn of the team's best player.
Dybala, from a free kick, put a ball close to the post with his left foot, unreachable by goalkeeper Di Gregorio, as if to complete his great game and close the confrontation.
