The 9th Test was passed brilliantly by Roma who scored a hat trick over Cremonese and won over Zini easily, scoring their ninth championship win in 12 days. The scudetto-like rhythm, so much so that on the yellow-red side of the capital they began to daydream about the Tricolore. The only first place in the standings after Inter’s discontinuation was, in fact, a legitimate dream of glory. Thanks to the sensational work done in recent months by Gian Piero Gasperini who has relaunched many players. People who a few months ago were flooded with boos by Roma fans and considered out of the project by management. For information on this, ask Pellegrini, Cristante, Celik and Hermoso (the latter was absent yesterday due to injury), all of whom were revitalized by Gasp’s treatment and returned to the glory of their glory days. It is no coincidence that today engineers never give up on them.
Yesterday in Cremona, a flash from Mati Soulè in the first half was enough to decide the fate of the match: a long-range feat that is a regular feat for the Argentinian playmaker, whose silky left foot sent more than 5,000 Giallorossi supporters flocking to follow the league leaders into raptures. In the second half Roma was able to score a goal thanks to the first sharp performance in Serie A by the Irish player Evan Ferguson, until now a mysterious object and now ready to make his contribution to the rise of the Capitoline team in the standings. Brazilian winger Wesley was responsible for the hat-trick, who after collecting the ball with his feet on the left wing, stabbed Audero with a superbly executed lob. In full stoppage time, Cremo scored the winning goal with a header from Folino, but it was too late.
On Sunday at the Olimpico it will take on reigning Italian champions Napoli in what could also be a passing of the baton of sorts. Weather and Milan permitting. The only negative note for the Giallorossi on the winning afternoon in Cremona was the red card, which will force Gasperini to watch the big game against Conte from the stands: «I was angry because the fourth official made 2 very big mistakes, it was very bad». Meanwhile, Roma dreams big and won’t stop surprising them.
After the match, Gasperini then revealed the recipe that made the team fly even higher: «To go far, grit, heart and sweat are the right ingredients, we add a little salt and spices to be able to play well. First place in the championship? We are realizing a dream and we will try to keep it alive and extend it as long as possible.” The best comes now.
