A victory that is worth sixth place and cancels, albeit partially, the elimination against Leverkusen and the defeat of Bergamo against Atalanta. There Rome wins 1-0 against Genoa thanks to Lukaku’s goal, probably the last with the Giallorossi shirt: a heavy goal that secures sixth place and gives hope to a team that could qualify for the next Champions League by entering through the back door.
The combinations
In fact, if Atalanta finishes fifth in the championship and wins the Europa League against Bayer Leverkusen, the Romans could obtain the European pass. But Daniele De Rossi he is already thinking about next season: “Keep Lukaku? I will do everything I can to make this team better. Every year the coach sits down and talks about improving the squad, Inter also tries to do so. There will be some limits and of the budgets to be respected, I don’t yet know what we will be able to do, but we will do it to make Roma a team with a higher ranking. In terms of values, Roma is a team that must try to finish fourth”, he reiterated to the microphones of Dazn.
Quality
However, applause must also be given to a Genoa team who played with high intensity despite having already been saved from several matches. Gilardino’s team put Roma in difficulty, left with ten men in the second half due to Paredes’ red, coming close to equalizing with Ruslan Malinovskyi’s usual poisonous left-footed shot: “We’re worried about conceding a goal like that in 10 against 11… we should have done better, but the boys were good with how they played the match against a strong team, with a high technical level, who were playing for an important objective”, highlighted the coach Griffin. The competitive malice is the right one: a further signal ahead of next season.
