A defeat against Inter Milan and a win against Dynamo Kyiv – that's the balance of the last two gamethat of Roma, who went to Florence on Sunday evening to play against the fast-paced Fiorentina. The common denominator of the previous meetings was the fact that Nicola Zalewski was in the starting lineup. This time he did not find recognition in the eyes of Ivan Jurić, who left the Pole on the bench after poor performances.
Zalewski came off the bench. He didn't save Roma
However, it did not take long for Zalewski to appear on Artemio Francchi's pitch. Roma started Sunday's match badly. After a quarter of an hour, she was losing 0-2, and Moise Kean and Lucas Beltran scored. After two quarters of an hour, Jurić decided to make two tactical changes. He took Angelino and Bryan Cristante off the field and sent Zalewski and Manu Kone into the fight.
The Frenchman a few minutes after input provided an impulse in the form of a long-range goal, but Roma were terrible defensively that evening. The right swingman, Zeki Celik, was in poor condition. The Turek first took a penalty kick, and then Edoardo Bove allowed himself to be outplayed, who passed the ball to Kean. The sniper had no choice but to increase the score to 3:1.
The second half did not bring better performance by Roma. What's worse – the Romans lost another goal. The player of the club from the Eternal City, who has been playing in Florence since this season, played a great match. Bove added a goal to the penalty and assist he won.
This was not the end of Roma's drama. Mario Hermoso received a second yellow and, consequently, a red card and had to leave the pitch. The debuting w. appeared on the pitch Roma Mats Hummels and a few moments later… with an unlucky intervention, he directed the ball into his own net. The result did not change and Roma lost to Fiorentina 1:5.
The next matches of both teams will be played during the week. October 31st Fiorentina will go to Genoa. He will play against Genoa at the Stadio Marassi. Roma will face Torino at home on the same day.
