Parma surprises the big teams, is Roma ready to respond?

December is coming to an end and, as Mister Ranieri said, the conclusions will be drawn shortly. Match number 5 of 6 available: a match which, at least on paper, is 'affordable' before the more demanding matches against Milan, at the end of the month, and Lazio in the first days of January 2025.

In the usual press conference two days after the match, the Giallorossi coach praised Parma, defining them as a lively team, full of good players, homogeneous and quality, with a strong point in rapid verticalisations. Words that reveal respect but also the awareness that for Roma it will be essential to maintain high concentration and manage the pace of the match well.

For the Giallorossi this match represents yet another opportunity to demonstrate that the team is growing and that the path taken in the last week is the right one. Como has left its mark and taught important lessons; now it's time to show that these have been assimilated. It will be essential to make the most of the opportunities created and keep your guard up, as the opponent has already shown that they can excel against the big teams. Not surprisingly, she managed to win against the Milan and Lazioas well as snatching valuable draws with Fiorentina, Bologna and Juventus.

Roma should present themselves with a 3-4-2-1, a tactical choice aimed at guaranteeing defensive solidity and the ability to build quickly. The probable lineup will see Svilar between the posts, supported by a defensive trio made up of Mancini, Hummels and Ndicka. Celik and Angelino will act on the outside, called upon to provide thrust and coverage, while in the midfield there could be Konè and Paredes, in charge of managing the pace and the interdiction phase. Up front, the talent of Dybala and the agility of Saelemaekers will operate behind Dovbyk, the offensive terminal.

The team will have to enter the field with only one objective. Get the three points at any cost.
