In the troubled Giallorossi season, Chris Smalling certainly deserves a mention. The Englishman was supposed to lead the Giallorossi defense again this year, guaranteeing solidity and security to the department, but the reality was much crueler. With two games left until the end of the season, the former United he made just 8 league appearances, and most of them starting from the bench. Merciless numbers, which confirm the nightmare season of the English centre-back. To give an idea, just look at the fact that he made the same appearances as Renato Sanches this season.
And now the player is pushing to start against Genoa, in what could be his last match at the Olimpico. English has offers from Saudi Arabia, and in the summer Roma could let him leave, also because it costs a lot on the budget, and if he can’t play, keeping him is useless as well as expensive. But Smalling wants to have the opportunity to relaunch himself in these last two gamesto demonstrate to the Giallorossi that they deserve another opportunity, also to make amends.
Corriere dello Sport writes it.
