The dream of reaching third place began with the defeat of Siena. It happened that last week Siena played better than Roma, they deserved to win more than Roma, then they won with a non-existent or at least generous penalty. After the game, the Asturian coach confirmed that his team wasn't there, that he got it all wrong, that he never worried the opponent. Point. Of that penalty nothing at all, as if the penalty had never been beaten, elegant and, in his own way, moving. That silence was worth more than a victory.
Rome is therefore on the right path to third place, and this precisely because finally in the Giallorossi house there are no more comforting spaces, indeed other teams that never did it in the past and that mocked the lamentations of the wolf cubs incited by omnipresent referee injustices, which mocked the Roman vocation to support the existence of a palace plots, which alluded to mysterious strong powers intent on maneuvering in the shadows, have now supplanted the Capitoline team in this whining art of the high lai as a remedy for defeats. The project has arrived, and it has cleared the field of mannered conspiracy, of all the untouchable standard-bearers, of the challenges lost at the start with blows of euros, of the cunning of selling the improbable relaunch of now worn-out names to the square.
Siena's new stop came at the right moment, a one-nil penalty, a defeat as unexpected as it was beneficial, and the coach raised his voice, asked the question in a direct, clear and simple way "Who is that Do you want to stay here again?" And a positive response arrived with Parma, just to start over, then of course there will be increasingly demanding tests, but today we always fought, never gave up, now we want to win everywhere. The prospects are good, the fans know that spring is coming now, that it will no longer be played on heavy, icy pitches, where precision phrasing ends up being penalized and the cobweb becomes unthinkable. now the dance begins, now whoever plays better wins and the finish line is third place. For the fans it is enough to believe it, for the players not only that.
