AS ROMA NEWS – How can you ptry to win a match of just 18 minutes more recovery? This is what Daniele De Rossi has been wondering for a few days now. Him tonight in fact Roma will be back on stage at the Blueenergy Stadium approximately ten days after that April 14th, when Pairetto decided to suspend the match due to the illness suffered by Ndicka.
This evening in Udine we start again from that 1-1 score after 71 minutes of the match: Roma will therefore have little more than extra time to try to take home the three points. Ten days ago De Rossi’s team threw away the first half thanks to a wrong formation, a few too many rotations in the starting eleven and a very serious blunder by Huijsen (who won’t be able to play today, like Aouar, because he was replaced during that match).
The coach, however, managed to partially sort things out by returning to 4-3-3 and introducing Paulo Dybala at the start of the second half. The goal from Lukaku, who will not be on the pitch tonight due to the flexor injury, he seemed to have paved the way for the Giallorossi towards a comeback. The inertia of the match had suddenly become entirely in favor of the Capitoline players, who were putting pressure on an Udinese team that appeared to be in serious trouble.
The Ndicka’s illness stopped the match in the 71st minute, with Pairetto who, after speaking with the two coaches, had wisely chosen to suspend the match. In ten days, however, many things have changed compared to those last 20 minutes left to play: Udinese has relied on a new coachwith Cannavaro replacing the sacked Cioffi, and he had the opportunity to reorganize ideas and forces to face the onslaught of the Giallorossi.
Starting a game by having the possibility of playing only a quarter of it It changes the cards on the table a lot, either both from the tactical point of view and from the management of forces. Roma will have few scoring opportunities to exploit to score a goal. For this reason De Rossi could also opt for a more offensive and unscrupulous formation: having only 20 minutes available, there will be no room for changes. The eleven that will be on the field tonight will have to be able to score a goal in that short period of time.
The The risk is to expose yourself too much to restarts of the Friulians, who will play that quarter of the match in defense of their own area in the hope of finding the right opening on the counterattack. For Roma, winning tonight will be decidedly more difficult than ten days ago, in that final match where Udinese appeared tired and in obvious difficulty. But he will have to try: after the home defeat against Bologna, returning to the capital with the three points would be of vital importance in a Champions way.
