Rome, from Cristante to Veretout: it’s a precarious midfield
There is no certainty of tomorrow. From the ‘Triumph of Bacchus’ we borrow his most famous verse to make him of the Rome who on Sunday will play in Genoa against Sampdoria with a precarious midfield. Mourinhohowever, he intends to restart as he had concluded with the Lazio and therefore with the double playmaker behind Abraham and the couple Cristante-Sergio Oliveira in directing. Solution that has given the right balance but can be spent for the future. Yes, because of the four players mentioned the only one certain of a permanence is the Giallorossi captain, all the others cannot say the same. Even Cristante, relieved by his goal in the national team and third in the Giallorossi command line for the captain’s armband, is not an essential player for next season. Indispensable this year, who knows next. With a good offer, he can leave to give Mou the much sought-after director already last summer. On Oliveira, on the other hand, a ransom of 13 million is pending. A figure that Rome seems willing to pay, but even there everything is in the making.
For Mkhitaryan the speech is different, the Armenian expires and the Special One has asked the club to make an exception despite the policy on renewals for the over 30s of Friedkin. On April 1, however, it is impossible to say that it will certainly remain and the same is true for those who now see little or even with a dropper. Veretout is at an all-time low in relations with the company and will go away in June, Diawara And Darboe are summoned, but by now the young Bove has definitively undermined them in the hierarchies of the Special One. If he were to re-enter a Trigoria also Villar it would be just passing through a job that becomes more and more intense for Tiago Pinto because the promise made last June remains set in stone. “We will build a rose up to Mourino”. Now Josè expects his word to be returned.
