Roma-Genoa, the OFFICIAL announcement arrives in these minutes: he will leave the team at the end of the season. Last time at the Olimpico before saying goodbye.
Roma’s season is about to come to an end, despite that feeling of uncertainty and waiting that still characterizes the Giallorossi world. Having greeted a Europa League a week ago which, for the second year in a row, will leave a bad taste in the mouth that is not easy to digest, De Rossi’s team was waiting for the last 270 minutes in Serie A to try to achieve the Champions League objective .
The latter, while generating the arrival in a certainly more difficult and almost utopian competition for the purposes of a final victory, would guarantee many subsidies and aids to the company from an economic point of view, especially for the preparation of a project to be catalysed with De Rossi and the presence of the increasingly close sports director Ghisolfi.
To date, as is known, also thanks to the failure suffered in Bergamo three days after the draw in Leverkusen, the placement between fourth and fifth position is complicated to say the least, with attention that Roma will also have to pay to their own shoulders , pursued by a Lazio team reinvigorated by the arrival of Tudor.
Strootman, announcement and OFFICIAL farewell before Roma-Genoa
It is therefore fundamental to try to get the most out of these last two championship matches, certainly less high-sounding than the recent outings but far from negligible, also in light of the full liveliness of the season in the lower regions of the ranking. Before closing the championship in Empoli, Roma will host Genoa at home, a team that, with Gilardino, led Pellegrini and colleagues to reach one of the lowest points of the Mourinhi phase in the first round.
Many things have changed since that moment, with the Ligurians in a quiet ranking region but destined, in any case, to represent a tough nut to crack. Meanwhile, in recent minutes, significant statements have arrived from the great ex of the match, Kevin Strootman, who has effectively announced his farewell to the microphones of Radio Serie A.
“Gilardino told me two days ago that my contract will not be renewed: my journey at Genoa will end here. I don’t always agree with the coach’s choices, especially when he puts me on the bench, but when the coach wins, he is always right. I can only say thank you to him, he helped me a lot and last year’s promotion will be part of one of the best moments of my career“.
