Our journey in the Giallorossi 2021 continues. After the season, Fonseca leaves Trigoria. The fans thank the Portuguese for the work he has done but it’s time to change the air, the square awaits Mourinho. After all, they cannot be satisfied with seventh place in the championship, despite some indisputable excellent performances in Europa League. In this sense it was to decide the bad second round, where Roma left many points on the road. Parma, Turin, Sampdoria, Cagliari, Spezia… The greatest virtue of the first round, that is the ability to win all the games with the small and medium-sized ones, has turned against the Giallorossi. Not to mention that the negative trend of defeats in big matches also continued. The qualification for the Conference League was obtained only on the last day, five minutes from the end, strenuously defended by the final assaults of Sassuolo from De Zerbi. Certainly there are rational causes that explain, in part, the poor performance in A league: first of all the accumulated fatigue and a not deep enough rose. But the fans look to the future and do so with justified optimism thanks to the Special One, the announcement of which was a real positive shock. Summer 2021 goes down in history as the first edition of an itinerant European football championship, and the best of the competition (according to many) is a Romanist ..
