In the early morning of February 6, Beijing time, a match in the 23rd round of Serie A was played by Roma at home against Cagliari. In the first half, Manuel Pellegrini and Dybala combined to score, Lukaku's goal was blown offside, and in the second half, Dybala's penalty shot completed a double and Waison's header was the icing on the cake. In the end, Roma beat Cagliari 4-0 to win three consecutive league games, reaching 38 points and moving up to fifth place with one more game in hand, just one point away from the Champions League zone.
Last month, Roma made the decision to change the manager, officially announcing the early sacking of Jose Mourinho, who led Roma to 29 points from 20 league games, the team's worst record in the last 21 years since the 2002-03 season.
After sacking Jose Mourinho, Roma quickly confirmed the new manager, the 40-year-old club legend De Rossi, who served as Roma's vice-captain and made a total of 495 appearances.
In this game, Roma hosted Cagliari, who are third from the bottom of the standings, and coach De Rossi continued to use the attacking combination of Lukaku, Dybala and Shaarawy in the starter, and the three continued to fire at full power.
In the second minute, Dybala took a corner kick into the box, Paredes shook his header and was blocked, and Manuel Pellegrini stabbed home from close range to give Roma a dream start 1-0.
In the 23rd minute, El Shaarawy crossed in the penalty area, Pellegrini knocked back, Lukaku missed, and Dybala followed up and pushed the goal to help Roma 2-0 again.
In the 42nd minute, El Shaarawy went straight into the penalty area, and Lukaku volleyed the goal, but the goal was disallowed due to offside.
In the 50th minute, Cristante made a point, and Dybala scored a penalty to complete the double ring, helping Roma expand the score 3-0.
In the 59th minute, Paredes took a corner kick, and the 18-year-old Waison scored with a header to score his first Serie A goal and help Roma seal the win 4-0.
In the end, Roma won a big win at home, and 60,000 fans fell into a carnival.
As the new manager, De Rossi led the team to a three-game winning streak, which has indeed made a big difference to the team compared to the previous sluggish form led by Mourinho.
Roma now have 38 points, just one point off fourth-placed Atalanta, and are back in contention for next season's Champions League qualification.
