Roma is back in the running. A very important victory for the Giallorossi over Como, 1-0 signed Wesley which allows us to get closer to the championship group, but also, if not above all, to return to +4 on Juventus Their fifth and next opponent in the league. A message of strength from Gasperini's team, if only for their increasingly evident unity (in play and spirit). Individually, however, the usual shortcomings are evident, so much so that the winning goal, once again, did not come from a striker. Fabregas's Como team, however, slip to seventh place, overtaken by Juventus and closely followed by Sarri's Lazio. The second consecutive defeat after the one against Inter has somewhat diminished the Spanish coach, whose football remains very interesting, but not yet ready to establish itself at the top of the table.
Roma – Como 1-0: Gasperini smiles with Wesley and moves to within 3 points of league leaders Inter
At the Olimpico, a flash of lightning was enough to get Roma back on track. In the late match of the 15th matchday, Giallorossi beat Como 1-0, interrupt the negative streak of two defeats They secured consecutive goals and consolidated their fourth place thanks to an overall solid and commanding performance. In the first half, Gasperini's team immediately took control of the game, attempting to capitalize on Fabregas' Como's numerous build-up mistakes. The Giallorossi enjoyed almost constant possession, the pressure was high and constant, but their offensive output remained more potential than concrete: many promising situations, few real scoring opportunities, with the Lombardy defense still managing to get by without excessive stress.
Roma's supremacy finally found its outlet at the start of the second half. In the 51st minute, Soulé lit up the area with a precise pass for Wesley, who crosses with his right foot and beats the goalkeeper, scoring the match-winning goal. With the score broken, the Giallorossi continued to control the game but were unable to create the conditions for a knockout blow, leaving the match in the balance until the very end. Fabregas' numerous substitutions gave Como some energy, and they attempted to raise their game in the final minutes, causing some concern, especially through Posch. Svilar, however, remained virtually inactive, and Roma defended their lead in an orderly fashion until the final whistle. Como suffers its second consecutive defeat After the collapse at San Siro, with the Champions League spot now six points away. Roma, however, put the defeats against Napoli and Cagliari behind them and look forward to their next match with confidence: Saturday at the Stadium they will play the challenge against Juventus by Luciano Spalletti, a cross with a special flavor and very high specific weight.
Gasperini: "The best match at the Olimpico. The goal? I'm not counting on fourth place."
“We played well. Como is a team with pace up front and, if you leave them space, they can punish you,” Gasperini said. We have always been very precise, it certainly was one of the best home games This is the season's final day, and we're happy because, in front of our home crowd, we not only managed to win, but also to play a high-quality game. The result could have been even better. We're still lacking a bit in our finishing and final passes, but the team tried hard and played with good quality. Would I sign for fourth place? I never sign, but I'd be happy. It would be a great result, but right now, I like to see this kind of performance. There are teams better equipped than us, but these guys give their all, and it's not a given that theoretically stronger players will give you the same spirit, the same willingness. We're a good team, and we'll work to get stronger. It's not easy for anyone against us, we hope to continue with this spirit."
