If there is a wrong moment, Lorenzo Pellegrini’s is this one, marked by his first expulsion for the national team, we read above the Republic. Everything has happened to Pellegrini in the last year and after his expulsion against Belgium at the Olimpico between the crisis in his club and the rift with the fans, he seems to have become the scapegoat. Being captain in Rome has become a hardship. Pellegrini comes from many disappointing matches.
The past weighs on him: who would be happy to live with the eternal comparison with the giants who were there before? The comparison with the other captains is a boulder, even if it was his hands that lifted the Conference League. Pellegrini has never (yet) thought about leaving, but his contract expires in a year and a half and the discussion for a renewal with Roma has not started. The moment is complicated: you can give without receiving, but it is difficult to bear the stress of too little
Love.
