In the course of his editorial on the Sports Courier, Ivan Zazzaroni analyzed the climate that is felt in Rome on the Giallorossi side: “The Curva Sud has announced the protest against the Friedkins. It is the first in four years and two European finals, the first against a president who has invested almost a billion in Roma. I don’t think this will disturb Dan and Ryan’s sleep, however the signal is powerful, as well as civil, provided that no episodes of violence occur. A white strike: thirty minutes without the support of the beating heart of the fans is not a short time, it is the silence that makes the most noise.
Probably the only ones who will benefit – but only for half an hour – will be the players, who are being targeted by the people themselves. To understand the meaning of the protest, it is enough to go back eight months, to January. The Sud did not have a reaction like that after Mourinho’s dismissal only because the Friedkins protected themselves with the shield of De Rossi, one of the most beloved, loyal and esteemed players in the history of Roma, who was also betrayed once by Pallotta. It is possible that Daniele was not yet ready to sit on that bench, his bench, enormous and very complicated. But he accepted the challenge: he could not have given it up.
On that occasion the Americans showed that they have a sense of the square. This time no, they made a big mistake, regardless of the outcome of Juric’s management. (…). They made a mistake again by sending Daniele away after 4 games that cannot be cumulated with the previous 7, given that now the team has been strengthened, even if late”.
