In the early morning of April 26, Beijing time, Serie A held a strange "game". After only about 20 minutes, the final whistle was blown, and in the end, Roma beat Udinese 2-1 to make Cannavaro's debut.
Previously, because of Ndicka's accident, the game was suspended. At that time, I played about 72 minutes, so this make-up game started from 72 minutes. What's even more amazing is that Serie A also allows 2 teams to change their starting players, which is really advantageous for Roma, De Rossi can pick the best players to play, compared to Udinese, because they don't have so much room to adjust.
After the start of the game, Roma dominated the situation on the field, but their attack only blossomed and did not bear fruit, which made De Rossi very anxious. In stoppage time, it was still 1-1 (this was the score before the pause), and in the 95th minute, Roma stunnered.
Dybala whipped in a corner from the left and found Cristante in front of him, before heading it into the corner to make it 2-1. Seeing Cristante's savior, De Rossi on the sidelines also went crazy, and the Roma young marshal raced all the way to celebrate the hard-earned three points. In contrast, the Udinese general has a black line, and if the previous game was not suspended, it would be difficult to get three points with Roma's physical condition.
Roma had just lost at home to Bologna before this replay, and if they drop another point in this game, Roma's top-five place will be in jeopardy. Fortunately, in the end, Roma defeated Udinese away and successfully collected the three points. This victory also put Roma in fifth place.
As of now, Roma are fifth, although they have one game in hand, but they are four points ahead of Atalanta, as long as they play the last five games, Roma can retain the top five positions and participate in next season's Champions League. As Serie A has locked in the top two in European points this season, it has secured five Champions League places. The top five teams will all qualify for the Champions League, and Serie A has made new history.
In addition to this game, De Rossi led the team to play 13 league games after coaching, resulting in 9 wins and 2 draws, and only lost 2 games. The new Roma coach has led the team out of the trough completely. However, Roma will be tested as they face four big teams in Serie A and Europa League over the next 14 days. This two-week game will change the fate of the whole team. Rome will either soar or collapse completely. This season, Roma's goal is to reach the Champions League, and now it is the most critical time, I hope De Rossi can withstand the pressure, Roma must have at least one front to the end of the laugh in Serie A and the Europa League, otherwise, it doesn't make much sense for Rome to change the coach!
