ROMAN CHAMPIONSHIP – Roma equalized and caught up with Lazio but no overtaking

Other than counter-overtaking. There Roma does not go beyond1-1 at home against Atalanta, thus obtaining a point that smacks of a wasted opportunity. In fact, joining Lazio isn't enough to calm a nervous and disheartened environment, increasingly disappointed by the team's performance and pace. With yesterday's i there are 13 league draws, 10 of which in the last 14 games. This explains the abrupt stop that made Juve flee, as well as bring the Lazio cousins ​​closer. Continuing like this it will be difficult to get the silver medal and even third place is not so sure.

“I can only be angry, I saw a Roma that didn't play well – Garcia admitted disconsolately. – After the advantage we fell asleep, I didn't see the desire to take back second place". In short, a matter of the head, as well as of men. Because the Giallorossi continue to be in an emergency and this has an impact, even if it doesn't justify a home draw against the fourth from bottom in the standings. And to say that the match had gone quite well. After just 3' the referee Gervasoni conceded a strictness for a touch of the hand of Standard and captain Totti, on his return after the injury, transformed with his usual coldness. It seemed like the beginning of a quiet and, why not, triumphant Sunday, instead Roma ended up complicating life again. In the 23rd minute Astori made a naive intervention on the ex Emanuelson and Gervasoni returned the favor to Atalanta: another penalty and goal by Denis. The straight away draw, as has often happened in the last 3 months, didn't motivate the Giallorossi but actually ended up intimidating them. The players from Bergamo smelled the feat and came close to taking the lead with Gomez and Emanuelson. The Olimpico, half empty after the disqualification of the Curva Sud (by the way, out of dispute in the norm), showed his disappointment with the boos, appetizer of what would have happened at the end of the game. Because in the second half Roma, despite largely managing ball possession, never really managed to change gears. Garcia tried to revive it with changes (Paredes, Iturbe and Torosidis out, Keita, Ibarbo and Doumbia in) but the moves didn't have the desired effect. In the 78th minute the greatest opportunity was on Ljajic's feet, but Migliaccio's miraculous save came from his shot.

Thus it ended 1-1 and this time the boos were much louder. “We could have won but almost nothing worked – continued Garcia. – I'm angry, not disappointed, but having said that, the time for balance sheets has not yet come. Now let's think about the match against Inter, it won't be difficult to do better than that”. Everyone hopes so on the yellow and red bank of the Tiber, otherwise, more than Lazio, we will have to watch our backs.
