The Roma starts again Italian Cup and he does so by finding a very important injection of confidence by giving the team a resounding 4-1 Sampdoria in the round of 16 of the tournament. Already in the first 25 minutes, Ranieri’s choices, which limits the turnover, reward the Giallorossi who pass twice with Dovbyk and with Baldanzi largely directing the game. Semplici, however, changes a lot, even the formation and the Blucerchiati practically never manage to worry Ryan on his debut. In the second half Samp returned to the game with substitutions and found the goal to make it 3-1 Yepesbut it is the entrance of Shomurodov to close the score at the final 4-1 and with Roma still in control. Roma then enters the quarter-finals where they will face Milan.
