Roma-Torino 3-0, goals by Manolas, De Rossi and Pellegrini
Giallorossi back win at home after 5 k.o. And on Tuesday there is Shakhtar. The third defeat in a row for Mazzarri's team
March 09, 2018 - Milan
With hearts still split by the excitement of Astori's death, Rome brought home a very important victory in the Champions League. Good for the present (next Tuesday's challenge with Shakthar where success is critical to morale and trust), and for the upcoming (ie for matches against Inter and Lazio for third and fourth place). Manolas and De Rossi decide the challenge. The first has dedicated his goal to Astori with a symbolic gesture on the field (fingers pointing to the sky), the second is a waiting thing: a goal for a faithful friend, to remember forever. Then, the final goal of Pellegrini.
Manolas, the first scorer goal
More Toro - Starts with spicy memories of Davide Astori, to whom Roma dedicate a beautiful video projected on the Olimpico maxi screen with the most significant seasons of the Giallorossi. Then you play, with Di Francesco justifying De Rossi in directing and trusting El Shaarawy in attack, while Mazzarri first selects Berenguer to Niang. In the first ten minutes Rome seems to have the right attitude, then Torino slowly comes out in confidence and personality. The grenades tried three times to surprise the Giallorossi with the ball vertically between the two centers, with Alisson twice as good to shorten the field. Ansaldi then tried from the outside in vain, so they were Manolas (in Belotti) and Moretti (below) to relinquish the difficult situation in the penalty area. Then the last shot of Turin, with Alisson who had to overcome the first (34 ') in Iago Falque one lap and then (43') at Acquah from the outside (fixing his error, the poisoned ball out to De Rossi). Overall in the first half were all the most dangerous occasions from Torino (including a flat pass by Belotti where Vivenzi's assistant ignited a non-existent offside), with Iago Falque in the shield and Rincon working the ball. In Rome, however, much confusion in the setting phase, some offensive booths and Schick are very far from the Giallorossi hopes.
Dental change - Recovery opens with a much more convincing Roma and field owner from the point of view of territorial supremacy. Below is a good ball for Schick, who touches his head centrally. But his goal is in the air and arrives at 10 'when Manolas heads up Florenzi's beautiful cross. With the game unlocked, space increases and Roma finds ways to become dangerous several times: first (18 ') with a quick combination between Schick and Kolarov, with Sirigu good to get rid of Serbs in the corner; then (24 ') with the help of Nainggolan for the Florenzi trailer being kicked, however, the height of the excellent position; finally at the age of 27 'with Daniele De Rossi, who finished a series of carambole bag 2-0 ball with a right-footed chant. Then until the recovery is not much can be reported, if not a vortex of classical changes. Up to 48 ', when Pellegrini starts and completes (3-0) a full-scale restart done in the middle by Nainggolan. For Roma, a fundamental victory for the third successive defeat for Taurus that sounded like an alarm bell.
