Roma's away game against Verona was a bit tough. Verona are a team that is mired in the relegation zone and is terrible, both offensively and defensively. But it was such a team that once made Roma play very uncomfortable. David Davidovic in the Verona team completely changed the game, he first scored for Verona, but then was sent off with a red card for irrational foul actions, and Verona, who played one less man, finally couldn't hold on, first by Zaniolo, and conceded two goals in the final minute, resulting in a loss. This victory is crucial for Roma, after all, opponents at this level are already good opportunities to get points and cannot easily waste them. Roma, who won the victory, also moved up to fourth place, one point ahead of Inter and three ahead of Juve.
Tammy Abraham's performance in this game was disastrous. He had 4 shots on goal, 2 of them in the middle of the frame, 0 on target and no key passes. Among them, the best chance was to pass the empty goal opportunity behind the goalkeeper, and I didn't expect Abraham to kick the ball to the neutral post, which was incredible. This form is also a true reflection of his season. Tammy Abraham has scored just two goals in 12 league games this season, and his goal efficiency is simply too low. As a €50 million striker, Tammy Abraham is a bit of an exaggeration. Tammy Abraham performed badly, but thankfully a teammate stepped up to save the team.
The talented 18-year-old Volpato came off the bench but played decisively. He scored two goals, including one goal and one assist, to help Roma with three points. Volpato was really good and he had three more key passes. Mourinho's choice of Volpato this time and his trust in Volpato proved to be the right thing to do. Also coming off the bench was Nemanja Matic. Nemanja Matic is really a sword that is not old. In the final minute, Nemanja Matic deceived defenders with a very calm smash near the baseline and then sent an inverted triangle return pass to allow Volpato to score the goal against the score. Nemanja Matic did a fantastic job of handling this. The 34-year-old is still able to play at such a level, which is admirable.
In the post-match whoscored rating, Volpato scored a game-high 8.4 points, which is well deserved. Nemanja Matic, who had one assist and one mid-rim, scored 7.3 points. Zaniolo, who broke the goal drought, scored 7.1 points. Sharaoui, who also scored goals, scored 7.5 points. Abraham, who had repeatedly missed opportunities, scored only 6.9 points. As the team's manager, Jose Mourinho did an excellent job of mobilizing the players in this game to get Roma to take over.
