Francesco Balzani to I’ll give it to you Tokyo: Yesterday’s Roma makes me dream of the final. For Lukaku only a resentment – On Air

Francesco Balzani of Leggo spoke at I’ll give you Tokyothe program created and hosted by Mario Corsibroadcast on 92.7 Tele Radio Stereo.

“Yesterday was a very long day. Last year after Budapest I didn’t believe I could dream of another final, but after last night I had the clear perception, not only because of the passage to the round, that Roma can win this Cup. Of course, Roma can be beaten, but at the moment there aren’t many teams capable of doing so, Inter managed it with a little help, after so much difficulty, and that’s all because they are in excellent condition key elements and also because he has De Rossi, who surprised me in an incredible way, because no matter how much one knew him as a player, one could not expect this impact. And then there are individuals who are in a period of form that they have never faced career: I’m thinking of Pellegrini, Mancini, Dybala… when you have all these in a crazy hype and you have the incredible push of the public, like yesterday, and you also have De Rossi on the bench, you can dream of both the final and the place in the Champions League. If Roma were to finish with both goals it would be the most important season since 2001, so all we have to do is applaud. Yesterday I never suffered, in a quarter-final in which Roma played with 10 men and with Lukaku’s injury. And then you faced Milan. Now everyone is talking about Milan’s crisis, but before the first leg he was coming off 7 victories, it was Roma who sent him there. And sending a great club into crisis is a great recognition in my opinion. Now we wait. Now there’s Bologna, other important challenges, but I think Roma can make it through. Yesterday there were rumors about Lukaku about knee tests at Villa Stuart, but nothing is true, it’s just a matter of resentment, the injury has been averted. He is at great risk for Bologna and perhaps he will rest, given that then there will be Napoli and the semi-final. The letter to the League? There is no chance that Roma will be listened to. This is a battle that Roma and De Rossi have been carrying on for several days, even privately, but the League has not opened up this possibility.”
