The match in Turin against Juventus was a complicated match for two reasons: obviously the strength of the opponent and Roma’s poor ranking. One of those races that is more important not to lose than to win. So in the end the 0-0 that ended the match is one of those points that make the ranking. Roma experienced a similar situation last season with a derby: in a delicate moment (as were the days preceding the match against Juventus), with the break for the national teams just around the corner, Mourinho preferred not to risk winning and settle for a 0-0, rather than risk losing and have 2 weeks of criticism to deal with.
Beyond this aspect, which can be seen as a sort of maturity of De Rossi as a coachthe coach from Ostia showed courage in sending his men onto the pitch, following up on the words he said in the post-Empoli press conference, such as Slightly or the new arrival Saelemaekers and in taking his risks in sending the strongest player in the squad to the bench: Paulo Dybala.
What we have seen so far is a Roma that has everything to improve, just think that the new ones have not yet demonstrated anything, indeed they are encountering several difficulties, you see DovbykWhat De Rossi had brought last season was a breath of fresh air, an unlocked team forward and a little more unbalanced behind. Now it’s the opposite: 1 goal scored in 3 games, but already 2 clean sheets. A sign that it was time to put a patch on it and take as little risk as possible (although it was possible to win against Cagliari and Empoli). Before the match against Juventus, the coach had joined Gasperini’s thoughts about a struggling Atalanta: the real championship starts after the third day. With the transfer market over and the squad defined, it’s now time to go and hunt for 3 points, without any more excuses.
