Since Luciano Spalletti is no longer the coach of Roma, but that of Inter, at the Olimpico he had always won. Three successes out of three, one against the Giallorossi, two against Lazio. The series stopped tonight, with the 2-2 pyrotechnic, in which the technician has been turned away by the referee Rocchi in the final. "He did well to throw me out, Rocchi did a good game, it was an inviting restart and I exaggerated when he booed foul, I admit, I was rightly expelled".
Roma-Inter has had several controversial arbitration episodes, with the Var among the protagonists. "In the half-and-a-half situations you should always check the monitor and say that if you go too far at the Var, the show will be penalized, it would be enough to calibrate the use of the Var with the actual time ...". The possible rigor on D'Ambrosio's Zaniolo? "There is a light contact, it is not a big blow, but it is going to be reviewed in the Var". And the shoulder of Manolas in Icardi? "It's not a shove, it's a 'tram'." Mauro would have kicked here, without the intervention of the greek, which goes on the man, he puts himself sideways, a very clear penalty, but the draw is the right result, beyond episodes, which at the end are one on each side Mentally, both teams deserve praise: a beautiful and open match ".
Then Spalletti goes to analyze the tactical and technical side of the race. "We arrived many times near their flight, but we made too many mistakes in the last few steps, I would have liked to manage our dribble better ... Roma was good not to leave the pitch, to stay tall. it's useful for both of us: a match like this gives you an injection of trust and awareness ".
ICARDI - The Argentinian also scored this time at the Olimpico: 6 goals in the last 4 games. "Mauro is the extension of the goal-scoring bomber, and then it's difficult to ask him for something different, such as picking up the team, protecting the ball, and certainly Icardi has an incredible cheer in the penalty area. the goal: on the rest we try to improve it and maybe it is already improving "
LAUTARO - Martinez entered the final, after his father's polemical post on Spalletti himself. "The statements of his father? He was also bad, I wanted to talk and he told me that he did not even know, in fact, forced the father to remove that post after our chat. me and him ... Then Lautaro also apologized to the team, also because in the dressing room the others look at my reaction to certain things: fortunately it was him who took the position directly ".
TOTTI - At the stadium there was also Francesco Totti, friend-enemy of the years in Rome. "I would have liked to say goodbye to you tonight, you mean you say things that are not correct, that I made it stop, it's not true ... I did not stop it because the company I was leaving knew about it for a season As soon as I started that year I said I would not re-sign and took it all the way, he could go on and instead he stopped, then there's something else that needs to be said. 'I sent away from Trigoria, I did not send anybody in. Since it was Totti and he was the Captain, I told him he would not be on the bench that day, and since he was an important player, I could not take him to the meeting and tell him This episode happened in the presence of Vito Scala, Andreazzoli and with one of the company that in that case there was the Team Manager, who was then Manolo Zubiria.I took him there to listen to what I told him and we are went to the meeting room where they are always gathering What I told him, that in summary was the fact of the five games won and that nothing was going well, because then the juice is that there, after five games won nothing was going well. How is nothing wrong? Everything is fine. And since he had this reaction that it seemed that nothing was going well, I told him that he would not be on the bench that evening. He has taken and gone, I have not sent anyone away from Trigoria. They are falsehoods. There were witnesses ".
