You cannot take bottles of water or cans of drink into the Stadio Olimpico, but once you're in vendors sell refreshments and assorted snacks in the aisles while ground level and stairwell kiosks serve up beer @ €4 per bottle, cans of soft drink for €3, hot dogs, pizzettas and sandwiches @ €4 a piece, assorted crisps, tuc and ritz biscuits @ €3 per box, ice cream @ €3, espresso for €1 and water for €1,50. Shots of Borghetti (coffee liqueur) are sold outside the ground. Roma match programmes when available, if ever, cost €1 or are free. The de facto Lazio programme for most Serie A matches is now called Curva Nord Lazio, available outside the Stadio Olimpico for €2 or less if you know the guy (and can find him - he usually stands close to the concrete ball near the Distinti Sud Est, but disappearing acts are not unheard of), buy more than a few etc. If you cannot get hold of a match programme and would like to have one to remember the game, we'll send you a couple in the post. A mind boggling array of replica shirts, unofficial merchandise, flags and scarves etc. can be picked up for next to nothing all around the stadium before and after the match. Cittaceleste is the free newspaper which most fans use to sit on after a quick read. Italians are probably the noisiest people on earth and their clatter intensifies when they watch football. / updated: July 2010 |

Football in Rome is as passionate as it is political. The blue half of the city was traditionally 'right wing' but these days you will find as much right as left in either Curva of either team. There are as many millions of fascists as there are communists who live well here, which has nothing to do with football. It is extremely rare to see blacks and asians in a Stadio Olimpico crowd which beggars belief in this day and age. Sadly, monkey chanting still goes on but for many Italians, such outrageous behaviour is normal and acceptable. We've never seen an Italian confront or even make comment towards a racist on match day, so we are more than happy to do it ourselves. Neither stewards nor police show the slightest bit of interest. The majority of vendors in the stands are African guys who speak English. It's a terrible job, terribly paid, and they must serve those who offend them. We expect our customers to show them 200% courtesy. If you do hear racist noises and can see who is responsible, don't let them get away with it but don't break the law either. / updated: July 2010 |

Many supporters of Roma and Lazio consider it hip to be hooligan. English lads have been targeted on European nights by groups of Roma Ultras who stab fans of the clubs whose hooligan element they aspire to emulate. The 'English disease' per se, however, is beyond all of them. Rome's Ultras, while not the most volatile on the peninsula, co-ordinate colourful and creative support in their respective Curvas. The anglicisation of what they get up to on the terraces makes every game in Rome worth seeing - something always kicks off. / updated: July 2010 |

If you carry a bag into the Stadio Olimpico, a Carabiniere will ask you to open it for inspection. All types of photographic equipment are permitted. To reach the Stadio, take Metro Linea A (Battistini-Anagnina) to Ottaviano/S. Pietro station and then board the number 32 bus that passes close by. Alternatively you can take the one and only tram from Piazza Flaminio (Stazione Flaminio on Metro Linea A) to Piazza Antonio Mancini, then walk across the river (Ponte Duca D'Aosta) to the Stadio Olimpico. If you are staying in town, take the 910 bus from Piazza dei Cinquecento (in front of Termini station) to Piazza Antonio Mancini as above. You will be asked to show your passport at the perimeter gates by stewards. Turnstiles have been installed behind every main gate further in. You must scan your ticket to pass through. If you look even remotely English, the probability of being frisked by security is approximately 100%. After the series of checks you will be allowed to make your way to your seat. / updated: July 2010 |

ROMA It was a very early start for Luciano Spalleti who had to negotiate a couple of tricky Europa League fixtures in July and August, after finishing 6th behind Genoa and Fiorentina in May. By the end of both, Totti had netted ten times; four goals against KAA Gent in the Third Qualifying Round, five against MFK Košice and one in Genoa. Disregarding domestic penalties and Europa League friendlies, he'd have struggled to reach double figures. The 3-3 draw in Košice set alarm bells ringing despite his hat-trick of sorts in the 7-1 return. Spalletti's position had been under close observation for some time before the domestic season kicked off. His resignation followed the Diego show, saving Rosella Sensi €1 million in the process instead of waiting to be sacked. A few months of calcio punditry with Sky paid the rent before he upped sticks to Russia as the new manager of Zenit St. Petersburg. His replacement was no secret. Claudio Ranieri's arrival was greeted with cautious optimism. Local boy from the Testaccio quartiere, former Giallorossi defender (six games only) before making a name for himself at Catanzaro between 1974-1982, and with a terrific track record in management, the Tinkerman was keen to take Mourinho to task in his home city. What could possibly go wrong? Roma lost three Serie A matches on the hoof in October and 2-2 draws away at Cagliari and Napoli, when the opposition scored in time added on, cost four points. Unfortunately, the timing of the Sampdoria defeat, with three matches to play, made it impossible to recover the deficit. Roma's UEFA Europa League campaign ended ignominiously in the Stadio Olimpico to a good, but not great Panathinaikos team. |
|
Roma breezed through the likes of losing finalists Fulham, Basel and CSKA Sofia in the lofty heights of Group E, only to limp out 4-6 in the Round of 32, capitulating both home and away by the same scoreline. PAO were eliminated by Belgian middlers Standard Liege in the Quarter Final. A season-defining six points were dropped in the aftermath. Roma's calciomercato was one way traffic, moving thirty players on to other clubs, less than ten making the trip in the other direction. Burdisso was the key loan signing from Inter, scoring goals and settling in well alongside Juan to keep Mexes' name pencilled in on the transfer list. Marco Motta was selected to play in a handful of Serie A matches while Stefano Guberti found himself limited to meaningless TIM Cup ties. Luca Toni arrived on loan from Bayern Munich in January to a hero's welcome. He scored five goals including the winner against Inter but has since been replaced with flawed genius Adriano. Vincenzo Montella hung up his boots and the sale of Aquilani to Liverpool was inevitable. |
|
Roma reached the TIM Cup Final again, against Inter, again, and lost 1-0 to a quite brilliant goal from Diego Milito. Totti lost the plot and tried to injure Balotelli. Everyone present, spectators and players alike, was on edge. A Romanista joined in with final whistle recriminations and frustrations by trying to cuff Cambiasso. The debate over Lazio 0 Inter 2 was still raging, and tempers had been frayed for a few days before the match. A situation made worse by Inter's decision to stay in Rome. |
|
Another season spent in the considerable shadow of Inter was perhaps to be expected, of greater concern was the manner in which Roma hit the self-destruct button against Panathinaikos. Rafa Benitez has replaced Mourinho (Real Madrid), Luigi Del Neri is the new manager of Juventus and Allegri new at Milan. Can the Tinkerman take advantage of the managerial upheavals at all his major rivals? The Sensi family (Italpetroli) owe UniCredit the small matter of €325 million. UniCredit are trying to sell off old shares under a new name, 'Newco Roma'. Who will buy the new Roma and how much money will they set aside for new players in January 2011? Ranieri has every chance to clean up domestically and make great strides in Europe. |
|
LAZIO Plenty of optimism after the Supercoppa win against Inter in Beijing but 2009-2010 was to become a horror show for Lazio, a deeply disturbing experience for the blue half of Rome which finished off the Irriducibili after a good few years spent on borrowed time. At the tail end of Ballardini's mercifully brief reign, Lazio Ultras tried to burn down their Curva when not fighting each other or boycotting matches in full or in part. |
|
And the result? The rapid emergence of minor Ultras groups vying for power after the Siena win and watershed. Cataniagate spelled the end for Davide Ballardini (who earned his own song, 'Ballardini Vaffanculo') and was the start of a rollercoaster ride along the very edge of Serie B, trying the patience of even the most dyed in the wool Lazio supporter. All the while, Lotito went from strength to strength, securing the services of Edy Reja when his club teetered on the brink of B and refusing offers from three Premiership clubs for Mauro Zárate. Arsenal offered €40 million, Liverpool and Manchester City €30 million. |
|
Without having to dwell on the finer details, a list will suffice. The smash and grab raid on Hadjuk Split for Reja; dissident players and the Pandev - Ledesma saga; the failure to sign Maxi Lopez, who moved to Sinisa's Catania and banged in 11 crucial league goals, including the winner against Lazio; Zárate was dropped, lost confidence, and endured an almost goal free campaign as a result; a flurry of last minute January transfer window signings were rushed through (Biava, Hitzlsperger) in an attempt to stave off relegation; the cringeworthy spectacle of Renata Polverini mixing it with Zárate and IRR sunglasses at the home match against Bari, when Lazio were well beaten; multiple futile boycotts in the Curva; 3,000 military police surrounded a particularly volatile home derby marred by violence on and off the pitch, and as far as we were concerned, ruined by Eyjafjallajökull; Totti's inflammatory Pollice Verso to a baying Curva Sud thereafter, which fanned the flames of hatred between opposing sets of fans, caused even more trouble outside the stadium (Lazio only ever get the better of Roma when they win a derby - not the case in 2009-2010 when they lost both). Lazio Ultras packed the Curva and seemed to enjoy every minute of the defeat against Inter, more or less killing off Roma's excellent chance of lifting the Scudetto in Verona. It was 'OH NOOO' when Inter scored, which they did twice, leaving shellshocked Romanisti down, out and incredulous. Their tedious predictability ensued; 'How could it have been allowed to happen?' On the other hand, how could Lazio have done any differently? They were heckled whenever they went forward and individual players threatened before the match if Inter were not handed free passage to three points. A decent run of form on their travels at the end of the season served to compound confusion. Lazio have never been too far away from meltdown in recent years. There is absolutely no danger of that scenario abating in 2010-2011. |
|
Lazio finished 12th in Serie A, failed to progress from Group G in the Europa League and were eliminated by Fiorentina in the TIM Cup Quarter Final. Lo and behold, Lazio Ultras have refused to accept the tessera del tifoso and will not be occupying the Curva Nord this season. This decision has not been made because their ranks provide cover for raving lunatics with a soft spot for random acts of violence, rather that the new law disrespects the rights of normal fans. Hang on a sec, Italian law states that everyone must carry a raft of ID cards and documents anyway just to get by, so what's the problem? One more in the wallet is neither here nor there. Lazio Ultras will eventually fall into line, and we expect the Curva Nord to be as lively as never before. |

Lecce, Brescia and Cesena were promoted and we welcome them to competition against Roma and Lazio in 2010-2011. Cesena won their second consecutive promotion to reach the top tier for the first time since 1991, it has taken five years for Brescia to recover from the retirement of Roberto Baggio who carried them through Serie A between 2000-2004, and it's like Lecce never went away. Brescia is in Lombardy, Cesena near Rimini in north Italy. |

LAZIO 2 PARMA 0 | APRIL 10TH 2011 | DISTINTI NORD OVEST |
 |
Hot, hot day for early April and Parma were unable to acclimatize to Lazio's tempo. True grit and determination from the home side absolutely necessary to banish all memory of what went on in the Stadio San Paolo last weekend, and they did not disappoint. Fourth place was regained. Sebastian Giovinco pinged a handful of shots at Muslera and that was all from a Parma side wary of committing too many men forward. Pasquale Marino's more adventurous style was gone and Columba's first steps were safety first, with Giovinco playing off lone striker Amauri and Dzemaili looking to create space behind the Lazio full backs, Garrido in particular. Hernanes cracked a fantastic strike past Mirante from 20 metres for the opener, the ball was hit with real ferocity, swerving and dipping it's way into the net. Giovinco v Muslera followed after Dzemaili's balloon over the bar. Atomic Ant almost caught the Lazio custodian napping, he retrieved his own corner and fired in a difficult bouncing return. A distance curler was clawed away and Amauri clipped a fair header wide of the post from Modesto's cross. Sculli flayed the ball across the face instead of finding the corner at the start of the second period, after good work by Gonzalez. Sergio Floccari's pull down and shot in off the post from Hernanes' deep assist sealed the points. Candreva's tame daisy cutter was gathered with ease by Muslera and a direct Hernanes free kick missed the bar by very little, before the Brazilian cut inside then out and back again to blast a searing drive inches wide of the far post. It was a dominant show by Hernanes, who has nothing left to prove in the Biancocelesti shirt after a scintillating debut campaign thus far. Next up Catania (A).

ROMA 0 JUVENTUS 2 | APRIL 3RD 2011 | CURVA NORD |
 |
Another late arrival, this time with a pair of last minute tickets courtesy of two no shows but no bother at the empty turnstiles, we were waved into the stadium like old friends. In my case at least, that's probably the case. From the very top of the Curva Nord on a packed night, we saw Roma lose their unbeaten record under Montella against a Juventus side with a hefty injury list to contend with. Both teams were struggling to keep up with UEFA Europa League hopefuls but the atmosphere was as to be expected for a traditional heavyweight contest, irrespective of current form. Matri had a great record in the Olimpico with Cagliari and it was he who pounced on Juan's failure to move up to secure the points. Roma didn't count on coming up against Marco Storari in excellent form. Any other keeper, Gigi Buffon included, would have conceded twice in the first 20 minutes when Roma had their tails up. Totti set up Vucinic's volley on the run which had Storari on red alert after Pepe's rising drive clipped the angle, then he just failed to pull down DDR's through ball with Storari at his mercy. Totti was everywhere, he met Vucinic's deep cross on the volley and a strong right hand block by Storari was required to take enough heat out of the shot for Bonucci to cow the ball off the line. Matri then Marchisio set up Fabio Grosso's headed chance at the back of the box which arced over the bar. Missile strikes from distance by Vucinic and DDR came close before the visitors intercepted a short David Pizarro corner meant for Mexes and poured forward, Doni getting down to keep out Matri's effort with the Roma defence at sixes and sevens. The Old Lady came out for the second half in determined mood and bossed the rest of the match with a steely resolve. The goals came in a 15 minute spell of total dominance. As we've been saying for a while now, it was a case of Roma spurning chance after chance and their opponents putting one or two away. Fabio Grosso waited for his moment to cross into the wide open space where Riise should have been for Krasic to crash home on the volley just before the hour mark. Rosella was close to tears by the time Aquilani gave Krasic an age to beat Doni who saved with his right knee before Matri's cool strike; with 20 minutes left on the clock, he was on his own, desert style, to poke the ball past Doni a minute after Montella had introduced Borriello and Taddei for Mirko Vucinic and Perrotta in search of the equalizer. Juan was at least five yards out of bounds and Matri was never likely to miss, having wasted two earlier, similar chances but with a great deal less time to think about how to finish. Totti released Menez into space down the right wing and the Parisian dribbler whipped a cross shot on to the bar with Storari beaten. Towards the end, Krasic had Riise tied up in knots and Juan was having to cover at left back as well as centre half. Pizarro and Totti teed up DDR for an open goal on any other day, but he lunged at the ball and spooned over. Incredibile indeed.

ROMA 2 LAZIO 0 | MARCH 13TH 2011 | DISTINTI NORD |
|
Five derby defeats on the hoof now and Lazio can consider themselves unlucky. Again. However, with statistics piled high against them - Reja had never managed a win over Roma; Lazio have to go back as far as 1997 to recall the last time they won an away derby - and despite holding 4th place in Serie A, the atmosphere in the Lazio end was one of resignation long before kick off. Roma were in retreat after a heavy Europa League defeat in Donetsk. Both Montella and Reja opted for 4-2-3-1, Roma with more strength in the middle of the park (De Rossi, Pizarro, Perrotta) against Lazio's flair players (Hernanes, Sculli, Ledesma and Zárate). David Pizarro reminded Laziali of their plight by pinging a swervedriver off the bar early doors. Chances, tension and tetchiness blighted this derby from start to end when Radu, for half headbutting Simplicio, and then Ledesma (dissent) were dismissed on either side of another Totti penalty. Coatti in the Sud decided to point laser beams into the eyes of Nando Muslera, seconds before Totti smashed a buconic free kick through the distracted Lazio keeper with 20 minutes remaining. Easy, if you cheat. Roma's late spot kick rubbed salt into the wound, by which time Lazio were down to nine. Simplicio fell for England under a reasonably firm, but not illegal Biava challenge for Totti to fire high and dry over Muslera, who was still getting his bearings after suffering temporary laser induced blindness. Biancocelesti chances were decent enough, but few and far between. Sergio Floccari's mistimed header bobbled wide of the post from Hernanes' cross with Doni there for the taking, while both Ledesma and Hernanes had long rangers beaten away or missing by a hair's breadth. Ledesma blocked a certain goal when a Menez cross found Juan unmarked on the edge of the six yard box. Inbetween times, Matuzalém's stamping studs caught Totti's ear and Libor Kozák was accused of going for Mexes when he made a legitimate aerial challenge. Pockets of trouble after the match brought an edgy day to an unpleasant conclusion.

Sculli's brace was enough but no plain sailing for Lazio, who found themselves with their backs to the wall for most of Giornata 28, a warm Saturday evening kick off. Delio Rossi made way for Serse Cosmi after yet another Udinese away day demolition job at the weekend, and his replacement rung the changes with a new 3-5-2 formation and new names on the team sheet. Lichtsteiner struggled through a torrid shift what with Federico Balzaretti's searing pace and guile never too far away. Ledesma's through ball allowed Sculli to fire low past Sirigu before we'd even made it into the stand, but we didn't have to wait much longer for his brace, a looping header from Ledesma's chipped assist. Balzaretti, Hernandez and Pastore were more than a handful for Lazio's backline with Lionel Scaloni preferred over Lichtsteiner, and Stendardo in for Dias who was suspended. The high quality of Balzaretti's wing play was difficult to deal with, a corner kick resulting from one of his pinpoint crosses forced Muslera to tip over a tough flicked header from €40 million rated Javier Pastore. Hernanes give Sirigu some work to do when his 25 metre pile driver threatened three nil. Sculli suffered an allergic reaction to paint chemicals on the pitch shortly after the interval and he made way for Gonzalez. It was Ledesma who crafted all two of Lazio's slender chances in the second half while his team were at full, undignified stretch keeping busy Palermo at bay. He bent a dipping free kick at Sirigu then found Stendardo's head, but the chance drifted across goal and wide of the far post after great work by Mauro Zárate. Former Lazio captain Fabio Liverani played 45 minutes, and as ever was applauded for his efforts. Lazio move above Udinese to retake 4th spot. It's a tussle for UCL honours next term which looks set to run until the absolute bitter end of the season. Udinese host Lazio in Giornata 36 and it could be decisive. Next up derby away.

LAZIO 1 SAMPDORIA 0 | JANUARY 16TH 2011 | DISTINTI NORD OVEST |
 |
Samp simply ran out of gas and stalled instead of moving up a gear and leaving Lazio in their considerable wake. The Blucerchiati bossed Giornata 20. This was stodgy, uninspiring football from the Romans, who were second best until the 83rd when the result was turned on it's head by supersub Libor Kozák's aerial intervention, albeit from an offside position. There was a rare start for Lionel Scaloni at left back and he played well. Much of Lazio's pace, ideas and invention came from Scaloni which gave a world of indication as to how ineffective Hernanes, Ledesma and Mauri were for prolonged periods of play. Zárate was infuriating in the extreme. His story will run ever onwards, it may even make history, but every Lazio supporter would gladly swap the two dozen blocked or tackled attempts he makes on goal every game for, well, a goal. Just one, Mauro. Please. After a dodgy start, Diakité proved his worth alongside defensive rock Dias and carried the ball forward with great confidence. A couple of not even speculative long rangers from Hernanes and Cristian Ledesma, wasteful play by Lichtsteiner, and even less from Sampdoria who were running the show for free, concluded a dire first half. Pazzini nicked his central volley over the bar from Palombo's assist, Man United's Kiko Macheda played 20 minutes from the bench, and Mauri's slick backheel in the box was a yard short of Libor Kozák's boot, before the towering Czech beat Curci with a good, but not great header to win it. Substitute Gonzalez turned a few heads but by then, the match was more Lega Pro than Serie A. Lazio will have to rediscover their early season form in the next 48 hours to get anywhere near Roma in the TIM Cup Last 16.

AS Roma News Relegated Samp took the lead but Roma recovered to limp into the glamour of UEL football 2011-2012. When Montella replaced Ranieri, hopes were high of at least a place in the UCL next term, but having failed to reach the TIM Cup Final and maintain anything like the form expected of them, more than a few of Roma's biggest names will be on their way out sooner rather than later. While Mexes is already a Milan player, Menez, Vucinic and Pizarro are in transfer talk limbo. The only constant at Roma, it seems, is Francesco Totti. The only salvation, it seems, is lots and lots of cash from the U S of A. Welcome to Rome, Mister Di Benedetto of Liverpool.

SS Lazio News 4-2 at Lecce (Zárate 2, Rocchi, Vives - autogol) not too little too late, Lazio have had a great season. To finish 5th equal on points with Udinese, who scrape into the UCL by goal difference after drawing at home with Milan, is a real achievement. Mauro Zárate's penalty miss in the Friuli will be looked upon as the defining moment - it was an appalling failure by anyone's standards - but he played his part in many important victories. A good batch of new signings over the Summer ought to further establish the Biancocelesti as one of Italy's elite. Edward Reja has a new contract, Mauri and Zárate will stay for at least one more season, and Miroslav Klose is getting closer to Rome.

Information about transfers at Roma and Lazio is important in so far as how this site is managed. Our customers want to know who it is they are watching and where they played their football before arriving in or returning to Rome. Stars or substitutes, they're all here in our Calcio Mercato and you can check out how they perform on the pitch in our Live Match Reports. We don't just highlight the big names, everyone knows about Totti and De Rossi, but what about the Primavera at Roma and Lazio? Rome's top youth academy players are some of the best in Europe, and they'll be lighting up the Stadio Olimpico in the next few years. |

ROMA YOUTH / The sale of promising striker Alessio Cerci to Fiorentina for €4 million, and Faty's switch to Aris Thessaloniki on a free transfer has surprised many, but Okaka is back. Bigger and stronger from a valuable loan spell at Fulham, Stefano should feature heavily even if Roma do sign another striker. Scardina has been loaned to Como. Winger Marco D'Alessandro and defender Alessandro Crescenzi completed loan spells at Grosseto, and have since moved to Bari and Crotone respectively on similar deals. |
|
|
LAZIO YOUTH / Very little faith has been accorded Lazio youth players since romalazio began, and we are in our sixth season. Defender Marco Davide Faraoni signed for Inter after ten years with the Biancocelesti, citing lack of first team opportunities as the reason behind his departure. Players who will break into the first team if things do change are as follows:
Luis Pedro Cavanda (20 / Defender: Left or Right Back / Squad Player)
Libor Kozák (21 / Forward / Squad Player)
Ettore Mendicino (20 / Forward / Primavera)
Alessandro Tuia (20 / Defender: Centre Back / Primavera)
Riccardo Perpetuini (20 / Midfielder or Defender: Left Back / Squad Player)
Antonio Cinelli (20 / Midfielder / Primavera)
Alessandro Berardi (19 / Goalkeeper / Primavera)
Gonzalo Barreto (18 / Forward / Primavera) |

Non-EU players The rules used to be relaxed but since the World Cup in South Africa, FIGC top dog Giancarlo Abete has introduced rather draconian measures in a bid to aid the ailing, ageing Azzurri. Centre-right personality Roberto Calderoli was quick to lay blame at the door of 'deluxe immigrants' plying their trade in Serie A, while reminding everyone yet again that Inter won the UEFA Champions League with a starting eleven representative of many countries, but not Italy. Most, if not all Serie A clubs must now juggle their squad and rejig their transfer targets. The top and tail of it is that clubs with more than two current non-EU players (all of them) can only sign another through a revolving door system, so if a new non-EU player arrives, then a current non-EU player must depart. Last season, clubs were allowed to sign two new non-EU players and still retain their existing quota regardless. Prime culprits in Serie A are Inter and Catania, neither of whom are interested in the idea of Italians playing football to benefit the Azzurri. / updated: July 2010 |

This season we welcome a new face to Calcio Fans. James Elliott from London in England, diehard Fulham, England and Roma fan, has spent many years in the Italian capital and a good portion of that time in the Curva Sud screaming blue murder at Laziali. Perhaps the perfect candidate to rate Roma's Scudetto, TIM Cup and UEFA Champions League chances for our English readership. James is a keen footballer and will be managing Golaccio! in the very near future. For Lazio, Cathal Mullan is back and quietly confident about the new season. Cathal is an excellent writer and skilled commentator about everything Lazio. He posts his work on their Offside when not giving short shrift to lost Romanisti from the U S of A.

LAZIO 2010-2011 by Cathal Mullan / The time has come to put another season of bitter disappointment behind us and look to the future with new found optimism for the difference this season could be that the high hopes will finally find justification by the season end. To say the signature of Hernanes is a coup would be somewhat of an understatement and the additions of Garrido, Bresciano and Gonzalez have added much needed depth to our ranks. President Lotito also appears to have ditched the driving seat for a lie down in the back and many have attributed this sudden move to the tenacious Edy Reja. With a single-minded leader at the helm, a sense of direction is a given but only time will tell if he has the tactical knowhow to steer us into the higher echelons of the Serie A table and only time will tell if Lotito's interference was the drawback many suspected it to be.
We have every right to be enthusiastic but as always with Lazio, there are causes for concern and as you may have guessed, they are related to money. Firstly, there have been murmurings that the general costs are beginning to leave their mark on our club and despite our profitability, the last-minute Zarate rumours on transfer deadline day suggest possible high profile sales in the winter. Secondly, the full impact of tessera del tifoso remains to be seen and if a coffin was prepared for the Curva Nord last season, then you could say the lid is on the verge of slamming shut at present. One can only hope the nails don't go in as the prospects haven't looked this rosy for years and a vocal and colourful fanbase never goes amiss. However, our Ultras at the minute do resemble a brood of pent-up chickens rebelling against their farmer and there are no signs of immediate improvement.
Edy Reja has set his sights on a top eight finish with our latest charges. Personally, I would deem anything less to be failure. This Serie A season promises to be one of the most competitive in recent menmory and it is time for us to discover a competitive edge. I firmly believe we will but whether we have the ammunition to mix it with the big guns just yet is a question open to debate. Nevertheless, we are moving forward on the field and as long as off-field issues remain off-field issues, we can definitely spring a surprise or two this season. |

ROMA 2010-2011 by James Elliott / Three games in and it seems like it’s going to be the same old story for Roma. In theory, things seem to be looking good, no key players were sold during the summer and the arrivals of Adriano, Marco Borriello and the eventual permanent signing of Nicolas Burdisso mean that Roma start the new campaign with a bigger, better squad than they had last year when they finished runners up to the all-conquering Inter. Unicredit, the bank who took control of Roma after the Sensi family were forced to give up their share of the club in a debt resettlement package, have promised to find a buyer that will make the Roma fans “dreams come true” and unlike their main rivals in Serie A, Roma have a manager that already knows the club inside out. Could this be the year that Roma finally go that one step further and knock Inter off their perch and claim their fourth Scudetto? It’s a question of belief.
Despite the tame goalless draw with the newly promoted Cesena on the opening game of the season, the 5 – 1 drubbing in Cagliari and the disappointing start to the Champions League campaign in Munich, this team has the quality and experience needed to win the championship, but as with AS Roma and the Roma fans themselves, the belief just isn’t there. Witness the capitulation in the 3 – 1 loss to Inter in the Supercoppa Italia, the Italian version of the Charity Shield, where Roma were one nil up and comfortable until Mirko Vucinic displayed his all-too-frequent lack of concentration and gifted ex-Lazio striker Pandev an equalizer. It was abundantly clear that having handed Inter the initiative that Roma would lose their self-belief and that Inter would go on and win the game, which they did with ease. It’s this lack of confidence and mental strength that seems to affect both players and fans alike that could prevent Roma from realizing their potential. Romans are a pretty pessimistic bunch, and although they hope and dream of winning another Scudetto or the Champions League, deep down they never really think it will actually happen. Inter’s dominance last season was largely down to the inbuilt confidence installed in the players and staff by Jose Mourinhio, who created a siege mentality, a ‘them against us’ belief that convinced his players that they were unbeatable, and in the end, they were.
Despite this, the last minute signing of Borriello from Milan has boosted the morale of the fans, the club re-opened season ticket applications hoping the new signing would help increase sales, and has also taken some of the pressure of Adriano who many see to be a risky signing. Having returned from Brazil weighing a whopping 106 Kg, it’s taken more time than previously thought getting him ready for the new season, and some doubt he will ever recapture the form (or size) that once made him a formidable and most effective centre forward. It remains to be seen if either Borriello or Adriano will take some of the weight of Totti’s shoulders, who himself looks increasingly tired as the years go by. In defence, the signing of Nicolas Burdisso ensures healthy competition for the centre back positions, although he will miss the next two games after his horror tackle on Daniele Conti resulted in a red card and two match ban in the defeat at Cagliari. This will give the recently re-called French international defender Phillipe Mexes a chance to shine, having spent most of last season on the Roma bench he will need to put in some decent performances to keep Burdisso out for longer. If things are to go well for Roma, a lot will depend on their talismanic midfielder Daniele De Rossi finding his form again after last years efforts in which he was frequently outshone by my player of the season David Pizarro. In Jérémy Menez, Roma have a potential diamond. As he showed in the latter stages of last season, he has the potential to become a top player. He’s quick, he can dribble and he can shoot with both feet, but as seems to be a common problem at Roma, his concentration levels and overall discipline need to improve.
Three games in and we have already seen the worst of Roma. Two losses and a draw see them propping up both Serie A and Champions League Group E, but we’ve been here before. After an extremely slow start last year, Roma lost out to Inter at the final hurdle and if they can overcome the first night nerves and start to believe in themselves, then maybe, just maybe, our dreams will come true. |
