Let’s prepare for Bari

Today is the big game against Bari and it seems like Ranieri will insert in the first line-up Totti, Vucinic and Menez and that means it will be a great show. Caludio Ranieri wants to use a 4-4-2 formation that can transform in a 4-2-3-1.  There were some doubts regarding Totti’s presence from the first minute but when the coach asked his opinion our captain said he wants to be on the pitch when the match starts. Between Menez and Vucinic the favorite for the striker role is Menez who played with Francesco 10 games and they scored together 19 goals but Bari conceded less goals than all the European teams this season so it will be a hard one. Everybody knows Daniele De Rossi has not recovered, the goalkeeper for this match will be Julio Sergio and it seems like Juan will not play Today to avoid the risk of a sanction for the club because we did not let him to play for Brazil.

Dominguez

Corriere dello Sport writes that ASRoma may be interested in buying  Alejandro Dominguez from Rubin Kazan, an Argentinian striker of 28 years who will leave the Russian team in January. Genoa and Palermo want him too and Rosella Sensi said we don’t have enough money but we will buy someone during the next period available for transfers.    He played for River Plate with Esteban Cambiasso and he scored against Inter in Uefa Champions League.

News from our squad

Vince

Stronger than the opponent, than the human numbers. The young children of Vincenzo Montella from the group Giovanissimi nazionali don”t tmake discounts and beat Giulianova with a clear 3-0, which allows them to hit the eighth straight league victory and make them even more firmly on their top of the group F. The first placehas not faltered even this Sunday, although the formation from Abruzzo managed to hold for almost half an hour and then found themselves after the break with a player more on the pitch after a second yellow card of Olivieri. AsRoma didn’t accuse the numerical disadvantage and even in ten players was able to permanently close the race without not allowing the game never to return Giulianova Corriere dello Sport – This seems to be the perfect moment to capture the moment of Brazil and Brazilians in the Capital who has always been a city that has had a special feeling with players coming from the country where football can boast five world titles. In recent months there has been much talk of about too many Brazilians in the locker room of Trigoria enough to form a clan that could have consequences in the balance of the dressing room. But more than that, the problem seems to have been the performance of the seven players. Seven, moreover, that a good half are players who can claim, Totti and De Rossi in part, higher salaries, it becomes such a crime especially when performance is up to the engagement that is guaranteed by the company . Even accidents, which actually involved all have contributed to this indifference on the part of Rome against the Brazilians. The last things happened with Juan are there to witness a crisis of relationships that may result, at the end of the season to see many of these seven to pack up with no regrets. There are over six months of the season to find out whether Brazil will be back in fashion in these parts. Arthur started in the first line-up, now is the fourth in the list of goalies at the club. He did not believe in playing games in the finale of last season and the beginning of this, giving reasons of questioning to many of thosewho have not yet understood why the company during the summer market has not intervened to buy a goalkeeper (Lobont separately). Waiting for Doni, Spalletti chose him but Arthur fails to give security to the defense departments reinforcing a view of all those who have never managed to put an explanation of the arrival of Artur Loria, and in exchange for half of the tags Galloppa and Curci. Now it is virtually impossible that he may have a new chance and for this reason is more than likely that in the January window he will go to a team who he will be able to give him some space, something that also does not seem easy. Otherwise, there will be greetings to end of season when the contract expires. The beast does not seem so. Indeed,he hasfinished as a player in the dock for a performance incomparable with his engagement of almost three million net per season. Yet when it was purchased, was greeted with enthusiasm by most of the roman fans. After a first season of lights (the derby, Bordeaux, Sampdoria, Torino) and shadows (especially Arsenal, return), it was expected that this season the former Real did the quantum leap that would ensure a physical Roma, goals and a beautiful game. He accomplices as well as some physical problems (knees especially) that have limited his preparation and didn’t let him play with the continuity that is needed to get to the top of the physical condition. And for a player like Baptista feel the best physical condition is crucial to take advantage of his quality. Now, with Ranieri that definitely seems to have chosen the four four two formations and considering the Brazilian attacker, Baptista, the fourth offensive option for the department after Totti, Vucinic and Menez. Yet Dunga continues to convene leaving home, for example, Pato. What is wrong?

Roma Capoccia, a song for the Eternal City-lyrics and video

ROMA CAPOCCIA-ANTONELLO VENDITTI
Quanto sei bella Roma quann’è sera,
quando la luna se specchia dentro ar fontanone
e le coppiette se ne vanno via,
quanto sei bella Roma quando piove.
Quanto sei bella Roma quann’è er tramonto,
quando l’arancia rosseggia ancora sui sette colli
e le finestre so’ tanti occhi
che te sembrano dì : quanto sei bella!
Ah, quanto sei bella.
Oggi me sembra che er tempo se sia fermato qui.
Vedo la maestà der Colosseo,
vedo la santità der Cuppolone,
e so’ più vivo, e so’ più bono, no, nun te lasso mai,
Roma capoccia der monno infame.
Na carrozzella va co’ du’ stranieri,
un robivecchi te chiede un po’ de stracci,
li passeracci so’ usignoli, io ce so’ nato, Roma,
io t’ho scoperta, stamattina.
Oggi me sembra che er tempo se sia fermato qui.
Vedo la maestà der Colosseo,
vedo la santità der Cuppolone,
e so’ più vivo, e so’ più bono, no, nun te lasso mai,
Roma capoccia der monno infame.
Roma capoccia der monno infame

We wait for our captains

Francesco and Daniele

La Gazzetta dello Sport – Another  step ahead for Francesco Totti, another night at the Gemelli for Daniele De Rossi after the  renal colic who hit him in the night between Wednesday and Thursday. The big names of the Roma are divided between the bed of physiotherapy and the  hospital but with different moods. Totti is growing day by day and, against Bari, he could return in the starting line-up after the operation to his right knee on October 26. Yesterday he made some very good and plentiful doses of runs for 300 meters. “The situation is good, Francesco is always better. He can be reasonably confident of seeing the field against Bari, “says his coach, Vito Scala. Today, another workout then, between Tomorrow and Monday, Francesco will train at Trigoria and he will do the usual  physical therapy but for others the training will begin  Tuesday. De Rossi, however, receives appropriate therapies. He drinks lots of water – more than 3 liters per day-and hopefully in good time he will return available for us.

Matteo Brighi: I never thought of leaving

A very confident Matteo Brighi speaks for laroma24.it about this season :
“I’m a bit disappointed that this year I have already had a couple of mishaps that have hampered my fitness. Everything that I had not suffered last year it happened this year but now I feel good and slowly, with continuity in the game, I will be back in a good shape. There was a moment when it seemed that I was going to leave but I don’t want to speak about it. I think only at the game, at Rome and at doing well here. I never thought of leaving.

Matteo Brighi

Brighi spoke about the transformations appeared after Ranieri’s arrival in Roma. “Of course, Ranieri and Spalletti are two different technicians with different game systems and philosophies, but for a player like me things change little. I always think to add my contribution to the team, also playing roles that suits me less, but it is precisely like this how a player can help the team. “

A new beautiful song for our ASROMA from 2001

Our Brazilian keepers speak about Roma

At the inauguration of the Roma Club Palazzo Chigi there was also Julio Sergio, who did not hesitate to say  some words about our club : “It’s always better to stay here and maybe I will remain here for a long time. Roma’s fans are special, when you find them on the street it seems that we known each other for many years. I never found fans like these. With the society there is a special relationship. I am glad at Rome, I plan to stay here but I never say never. Differences with the Brazilian championship? Here you always play against top teams , you always play hard battles. Every game is a final and you have more fun.”

Meanwhile Doni spoke from Brazil:

Julio Sergio

“I say that Roma  created  a big mess useless, because in truth I was already ready to play against Inter. The bruised thigh had improved but Ranieri has preferred not to bring me in Milan to not lose a man from the beginning as occurred against Fulham. I respect his choices, but it is clear that I wanted to be there against Inter. ” Also because he wanted to be there at all costs with Brazil. “Before I thought of Rome, so that against Udinese and Bologna I had played even if my physical condition was worst than the one had before the match against Inter Milano.  Now I think of Brazil and I have to give my best shot because there are few chances to show that Dunga can count on me for the World Cup. It does not seem impossible to do both.”

Ranieri focused on Andreolli

Marco Andreolli

Sigh of relief at home in Rome. Nothing serious for Marco Motta who had left his morning training Yesterday (also skipping the one in the afternoon) because of a severe pain in his right thigh received from a friend in a battle of the game. A simple contusion for our defender and he will return to train regularly with his friends probably Today.

Even for Jeremy Menez, there are excluded injuries. The Frenchman – who had left the technical center Fulvio Bernardini, at 15.30 skipping in fact the second workout scheduled for Yesterday – is simply suffering from symptoms due to a flu syndrome.

In the exercises  one-on-one, Ranieri has urged many times Andreolli. “You gave him the haunch, Marco.” And again: “Do not give up, block him .Watch the ball, not the body, “said the  roman coach in training, injecting his “grinta” to the ex-Inter defender.

News in the world of AsRoma

Claudio Ranieri

(Gazzetta dello Sport) – AS Roma has tried very hard to convince the Brazilian Football Federation and came out almost with “broken bones”. Doni goes to Doha (with Baptista), Juan remains. At least these are the intentions of the club. Because the negotiations conducted by Conti until evening didn’t calm down the Brazilian Football Federation, who in the afternoon sent a fax to Trigoria asking the two players, Roma ASRoma has decided to let go only Doni, keeping at home the defender, the club claims to be the most injured (but yesterday he trained in the field).  However it is now known in Rome that Doni was ready for Inter but Ranieri excluded him for disciplinary reasons because he refused to take  part of the training. There is the  risk that this morning will have to fly even Juan.

Bari’s coach Giampiero Ventura, Roma’s next opponent, has made the point on Radio Inter Milan on his team’s injury situation he declared that their situation is tragic. Masiello’s condition has to be checked with ultrasound and Gazzi suffers from a stretch . “The point is that not having an extremely large team too many injuries are creating many problems. To this is added the absence of Kamata who is recovering and we need him since last year when he was very important for the promotion. “

Meanwhile, it seems like the society thinks at the “low-cost” striker Fred. Let’s hope a good striker will come and our Brazilian players (Doni, Juan and Baptista) will understand that they are playing for As Roma, not for only team and we are paying them amazing salaries even if they can not be seen on the pitch.

Il tecnico del Bari Giampiero Ventura, prossimo avversario della Roma, ha fatto il punto a Radio Milan Inter sulla situazione infortuni della sua squadra: “La nostra situazione è drammatica. Quanto a Masiello purtroppo credo si sia strappato il quadricipite calciando per terra al 90°. Questa mattina si effettuerà l’ecografia e nel pomeriggio avremo l’esito definitivo. Gazzi invece credo abbia uno stiramento. Il punto è che non avendo una rosa ampissima i troppi infortuni ci stanno creando non pochi problemi. A queste va aggiunta l’assenza di Kamata che sta recuperando e abbiamo bisogno di lui dato che l’anno scorso è stato molto importante per la promozione”.
