He thinks about closing the accounts Shomurodov to the first ball touched.
The choices of Ranieri and Semplici
A glorious past, a present characterized by multiple difficulties. They have a lot in common Roma and the Sampdoria who face each other in this round of 16 of the Italian Cup, but not the category. Both have changed 3 coaches in search of a continuity of results never achieved before. Who knows, things might change quickly with Ranieri and Semplici. Among the Capitoline players there was a large turnover with Dybala (insistent rumors about his farewell) on the bench. A decidedly experimental formation for the Blucerchiati.

The three immediate howls of the She-Wolf
Roma started strong and settled the matter after just 20 minutes. The signature is always the same: that of Artem Dovbykin both cases primed by a very active Saelemaekers. The trio, on the other hand, is the work of Baldanziin release today dybaleggiante. During the proceedings, Sampdoria implemented a tactical change by switching to a three-man defense in an attempt to contain the damage, which was already irreparable. The Ligurians’ first half ends with an individual action by Pedrola.
Yepes for the flag, Shomurodov closes it
In the second half Roma, satisfied with the feast and convinced of the result already achieved, drastically slowed down their pace. Thus Sampdoria manages to shorten the distance with Gerard Yepes. Substitute Soulé’s crossbar revived the Giallorossi. In this regard, the Argentine enters the field decidedly well. Poker makes it happen though Shomurodov header from a perfect cross from Angelino. The match ends here with the Romans who qualify for the quarter-finals of the tournament in which they will face Milan.
