Friendly match that smiles on De Rossi’s team: the Giallorossi have fun and enjoy themselves by beating Milan, scoring 5 goals. A match that feels like a celebration of a new cycle, in the process of being born for the Capitoline team, in fact the team will experience a summer in which there will be many farewells and arrivals. The challenge mainly served the former future captain to test and give many young people in the development sector a taste of grown-up football. In the first half the two teams did not upset the structures and on the pitch we saw many faces already appreciated during the season. In the Roman ranks, an inspired Angeliño and the infinite class of Paulo Dybala should be highlighted. The goal that opens the scoring is that of Baldanzi who scores his first goal for the Giallorossi (if the match’s insignificance is not considered). Frenchman Theo Hernandez responds with a super goal, but the first half ends with Tammy Abraham’s new lead. In the second half the Rossoneri practically changed their entire lineup, bringing in second lines and promising young players; De Rossi doesn’t upset and puts it in Azmoun and Boer. The baby Giallorossi’s entrances arrive at 3-2, around the 11th minute. Inside Nardozi And Feola, outside Baldanzi and Llorente. Of the two, William Feola, captain of the under 18s, was very positive. The right back covers well and challenges the Swiss Okafor in an interesting way, putting him in difficulty more than once. Also impressive in the offensive phase and in the confidence with which this boy touches the ball. Who knows if Mister De Rossi or Mister Guidi will give him more playing time among the professionals. Nardozi wasn’t bad either with his left foot. Placed in an advanced position, he perhaps struggled to find the correct positioning and often found himself floating between the right flank and the three-quarter area. In the last moments of the match he takes on more courage and shows excellent dribbling. Close to the half hour mark, the midfielder was also given space Della Rocca and to the left back Litti. The latter showed good speed and intelligence in falling back and in defensive diagonals. Della Rocca didn’t have many chances to show himself at his best, but the malice and the ball-and-chain technique are there. Worth noting is a good personal initiative, with quick dribbling and an unfortunately imprecise conclusion. In the last ten minutes, there is also room for the central defender Myrrhthe midfielder Tumminelli and the highly anticipated second striker Almaviva. The little time available for these three boys did not work in their favor; judging their qualities from this little piece is unfair to them. It can be said, however, that Mirra seemed very smart but above all quick and quick in closing. Tumminelli is unjudgeable due to too few playable balls available. Finally, Almaviva, who came on in place of Dybala, showed something interesting in terms of pure ball-and-chain technique. The match ends 2-5 in favor of the Giallorossi, who from now on will be the protagonists of a real revolution. De Rossi’s cycle is in its embryonic phase.
