THE MATCH
The away curse continues and this time it costs Roma dearly. The Giallorossi lost 1-0 against Az Alkmaar in Holland and said goodbye to the possibility of finishing in the top eight of the super ranking. To access the Europa League round of 16, therefore, play-offs will be needed, but first there will be the last match of the group in seven days at the Olimpico against Eintracth of Frankfurt. The Giallorossi’s hopes of direct qualification, however, were dashed in the second half with Parrott’s goal in the Giallorossi’s best moment after a terrible first half, in which AZ took control of the match. The Dutch team, in fact, started well, with good play when winning the ball back and narrow lines when Roma attacked. Dybala and Dovbyk are unable to undermine the red and white defense and too often the yellow and red are imprecise in getting the ball out. Nonetheless, there was only one danger faced by Roma before returning to the locker room in the face of a great amount of play produced by the home team.

In the 40th minute Poku puts an interesting ball into the area for Meerdink who is inaccurate with his left foot, wasting a wide mark from the Giallorossi defence. Defense that does not see Mancini on the pitch, sitting on the bench because he is not in his best condition. In his place is Celik who suffers one-on-ones from Maartens’ wingers. TOAt the double whistle the result is still 0-0 with only Dovbyk (warned shortly before for an elbow to Goes) kicking weakly towards the opponent’s goal. And the Ukrainian centre-forward, during the interval, was rejected by Ranieri. The former Girona player is out and Soulé is in, with Dybala forming the false nine. A choice that seems to reward Roma as they try to erase their sloppy and opaque version of the first half. Above all, the left chain grows with Angelino, often dangerous, as when he serves Dybala from rabona who narrowly misses the target with his left foot.

Inertia seems to push on the Giallorossi’s side, so Maartens takes action with substitutions that will prove decisive, in particular that of Meerdink for Parrott who shortly after scores the 1-0. The Dutch took advantage of a sleep by Celik and the centre-backs for the winning tap in by the Irish centre-forward which thus leaves AZ’s hopes of direct qualification to the round of 16 open, while condemning the Giallorossi. The final reaction of Dybala and his teammates does not in fact produce the equalizer, with the knockout complicating Ranieri’s plans, now called upon to win in a week to at least confirm the position that will be worth the play-offs.
