Rome, system of defense now we need Abraham’s goals
The 2021 of the Rome it was in fact a year of transition: a new general manager arrived to take care of the transfer market, one of the most important coaches in Europe was hired and the squad was restructured to find their place in the Champions League. A series of changes that should be preparatory to long-term results, also because by analyzing the solar year that is coming to an end, Rome has very little to smile. Starting from the points: he totaled 67, finishing in seventh place in the general classification at -11 from Lazio (78) and -37 from Inter Milan first (104). An excessive gap, partly justified by the second half of last season in which the Giallorossi have practically set aside Serie A to focus on the Europa League. But also from the current one in which Roma is second to last in the ratio of shots and shots in the mirror: only 30.9% of the shots end in goal, only Torino did worse with 30.6%, while the first two places they are occupied by Lazio (45%) and Fiorentina (40.4%).
SOLIDITY
From what to start, then? From what has given positive results such as defensive solidity, improved thanks to the arrival of Rui Patricio and the return of Smalling on a permanent basis in the last six games in which Roma have conceded only six goals. This is the club in Serie A that has grossed fewer shots in their goal (167) to follow Juventus (177). If the defense is registered, therefore, the next year will have to be that of the rebirth of the attackers starting from Abraham who is giving amply demonstrated that he has set with Italian football and Serie A defenses. reference of the offensive department, Mourinho if he could never deprive himself of it and with the new two-pronged module he seems to be at ease. Especially when Zaniolo plays next to us: for him it was a two-sided 2021, but 2022 could represent the year of rebirth. The goals are the achievement of the Champions League with Roma and the call-up to the World Cup in Qatar.
He’ll just have to take more courage, put knee injuries behind him for good and listen to the Special One. In the new year, Pellegrini and Spinazzola will also be available: the captain has recovered from the muscle injury that kept him in the infirmary for over a month and will play against Milan; Leo is overcoming his Achilles tendon injury and will be back on the pitch by the end of February.
AIMS
Speaking of Pellegrini, he set goals for the future: “We have started a new cycle, with the most successful coach that exists and who has made football history, with new presidents who care about Rome as we care about it. everyone, with all the people who come to Trigoria every day. Everyone’s goal is to try to always improve and bring Roma to be a winning team, not once every 20 years but always able to compete for the victory ».
