A.S Roma Highlights FT. Carlo Zampa

[Defazzini VR]

Hey guys, I thought I'd start a thread where I post the highlights of the Roma games along with the LEGEND which is Carlo Zampa. For those of you who don't know, in Italy most teams have their own personal commentator who supports their team. In Roma's case, it's Carlo who makes you live every single moment as if you were there! So every week, I will post highlights of Coppa Italia and League fixtures of the Roma games and post them in here I know not everyone will be interested in this thread, but I'm sure there will be a few people who will enjoy watching the progress of this ambitious, project which Luis Enrique is looking to pursue and hopefully enjoy some good goals along the way

Roma 5 - 1 Cesena.

First game against Cesena, 3rd from bottom when playing Roma. Possibly the quickest goal I have witnessed my team score. Enjoy



Totti has now broken the record for scoring over 210 goals with the same shirt in Italy. Capitano ti Amo!

Read about Roma's massive win and Totti breaking the record. Good to see Roma playing well at the moment and Luis Enrique doing a good job as the media were on his back earlier on in the season.

Great commentating lol!

Also forgot that Roma signed Borini this season as they signed many players. How is Jose Angel and Bojan doing @Defazzini VR ?

[Defazzini VR]

Thanks

Yeah unfortunately at the start of the season Roma just wern't clicking. They only won 1 game in 3 and then followed by a 3-0 defeat against Fiorentina. But the fans were patient and it looks now we are getting the reward. After the 3-1 win at Napoli, we look really good and work well as a team. A mixture of experience and youth is working extremely well for us at the moment. Let's hope we can give Juve a good game in Coppa Italia who are an absolutely outstanding team at the moment.

@ahmed_1 Jose Angel - He started off the season on quite an average level if I'm honest. He does look a threat when he attacks from that left wing back position, but with no real desire. He has looked quite weak defensively speaking but I'm sure that is something which he will improve as he develops as a player. At the moment, Rodrigo Taddei is playing in his position as he is playing the role in a more efficient and effective way than Jose. His experience allowed him to defend well and attack with a purpose. However, there is no doubt in my mind that Jose will turn out to be a great player for us

Bojan - Unfortunately Bojan just hasn't made the impact he and most of the fans were expecting him to make. He has scored only 2 goals since the start of the season and he just hasn't impressed much. I think the Seria A in comparison to Liga BBVA is more physical and sometimes you do wonder whether he's finding that part of the game difficult to handle. He has been pushed off the ball very easily on a number of occasions and therefore has fallen to be a substitute for most games. However, Luis Enrique has lots of confidence in Krkic and everytime he does bring him on, he gives 100% and he has been very unlucky not to score more, as you might have seen in the video above. I'm sure his time will come, he just needs time to adapt and get used to the new league. Fabio Borini is now set to be ahead of Bojan in terms of First Team Line up. There is a lot of competition in the attacking side of Roma which I believe is a good, positive factor and makes every attacker work even harder to impress

I've moved this to Football chat for you.

[Defazzini VR]

@iBrummy Thanks dude, sorry about that

[ahmed_1]

Yes that Napoli win was a big win for Roma. At the moment they seem to be on great run. You're correct Juve are playing great at the moment. A big revival for them after struggling in the pas seasons since their promotion.

Thanks for the update @Defazzini VR on the Spanish players. They are still young so I am sure they will get suited to the Serie A football soon. I know Rivaldo and Mendieta who came from La Liga didn't settle well in Serie A many seasons ago.

Do you think Roma can get 3rd spot for Champions League this year? I'm sure 3 teams from Italy on qualify for Champions League.

[Defazzini VR]

@ahmed_1 If you were to ask me this at the start of the season, I would have replied with the straight answer of no. However, I would now say that I genuinely think we can. We look defensively solid, and attacking wise we look a threat and we have proven to be clinical in previous games. Inter are looking extremely strong now and are also on a very good run having beat AC Milan 1- 0 earlier on.

All in all, I would really like to think we can reach 3rd place if we carry on the way we have been recently. It will be tough as Udinese and Lazio are all very competitive this season, not to mention Napoli. However, Napoli are looking fairly weak in terms of getting results. They dreww 1-1- with Siena earlier on today

So yeah, I think it will be a very hard struggle but I think we may be just be in with a chance of clinching 3rd place

[ahmed_1]

@Defazzini VR thanks for your opinion. Yeah the start for Roma wasn't the best plus getting knocked out of the Europa League early on put immense pressure on Enrique.

Yes now that 3rd spot is the final place for Champions League the competition will be interesting (given that Juve and Milan finish 1st or 2nd with their current performance...but never say never, as football has interesting outcomes at times lol). I agree with you that Napoli have had a few mixed results recently. I remember hearing the panel on The Guardian Football Weekly podcast mentioning about this about Napoli.

[elamigodetumama]

nice post @Defazzini VR my favorite team of Serie A is Juve but I always prefer La Roma instead of Inter or Milan.
In the Serie A there are always good matches

[Defazzini VR]

Nice to see you enjoy the Serie A

[ahmed_1]

I think Serie A this season seems very competitive and interesting given that many teams are starting to catch up with Milan teams (after previous seasons were mainly Milan dominated).

Palermo seem a very interesting team, I don't know what goes on with their chairman lol

[Defazzini VR]

The following game was between Roma and Internazionale. Whenever these two teams have faced it has always been a great spectacle and it has become a classic in the Serie A.

Roma won 4 - 0. Absolutely fantastic performance by Roma and the day was topped off by the confermation of Daniele De Rossi signing a new 5 year contract

Here are the goals commented by Carlo Zampa! Enjoy

[ahmed_1]

Great win for Roma today. Good to see Bojan on the scoresheet. Barca have a buy back clause after 2 yrs right?

Also nice to see De Rossi stay and resist the mega offer by Man City. You must be happy that the rivals above dropped points in the chase for the Champions League spot @Defazzini VR

[Jake]

Good goals from Borini, took them really well. Great win for AS v Inter. Thanks for posting the highlights @Defazzini VR

[Defazzini VR]

@ahmed_1 Yeah that's right. It was great to see Bojan score especially as he hasn't really been able to show what he's worth since joining Roma. He now comes on at the 75th min or so as Fabio Borini is performing that striker role exceptionally well as you can see

Hopefully Bojan is 'Sbloccato' which means 'Unblocked' in terms of goals. We all know what he can do and he has an amazing talent and hopefully this is the start of many goals to come.

Yeah it was a great day for Roma in terms of other teams results. Udinese lost and they remain at 39 points. Our great rivals Lazio lost 3-2 which is always a great feeling. Milan and Napoli drew 0-0 with Ibrahimovic getting sent off.

Overall it was a great day and Roma just need to carry this attitude along with them to every single game and they will go far!

[ahmed_1]

Thanks for the information about Roma @Defazzini VR

Yeah Borini is playing well for you at the moment. I just found out now that he is on a co-ownership deal. Do you think he will stay at Roma?

Also it will be interesting to see how Roma do this year in the league. Its like a new era for the team given the takeover and the Spanish influence in the team (with Enrique and some Spanish players joining the team)

[Ry3]

Damn. Video isn't available to watch anymore. Brilliant win though.

Is Bojan a loan signing for Roma? Or actually permanent?

[ahmed_1]

Damn. Video isn't available to watch anymore. Brilliant win though.

Its like a permanent deal but Barca have a buy back clause. Clever Barca lol

[Defazzini VR]

Not to worry @Rye I have uploaded a new video with the highlights and goals

[Defazzini VR]

@ahmed_1 Borini is very attached to the shirt even though he hasn't actually played at Roma for very long. He has kept on saying how he has loved to play for Roma and that he has fallen in love with the city and the fans. He is very confident in this new project and I am 99% confident he will stay at Roma.

As you may know De Rossi has also signed a 5 year contract to Roma yesterday which I'm still absolutely extatic about! Totti and De Rossi will be some of the only players to have stayed at their own club all their lifes. De Rossi had the opportunity to play for Manchester City and earn triple what he earns at Roma but in the end he knew where his loyalty rested. He seems extremely happy now and he has also said he is very confident and optimistic about this new project. It's all looking good!

Let's hope we can reach the 3rd spot this season for the Champions League spot! Would be a great achievement

[ahmed_1]

If Borini keeps playing like this at Roma why leave? Plus he is at a big club now and has a very big opportunity to shine. Whilst at Chelsea he didn't really get a chance and its shame to see some of these young players unable to get a chance to play games.

Hard to see players being a "one club man" nowadays in football, there are some but a minority I suppose. For instance if someone like Manchester City comes along showing mega wage offer most players go.

True say if you get Champions League will be a major achievement given that Serie A competition is now looking very tough.

[Defazzini VR]

I agree with you there @ahmed_1

Who do you support by the way? I've never asked.

[ahmed_1]

I agree with you there @ahmed_1

Who do you support by the way? I've never asked.

I'm a neutral supporter lol, but I do follow lot of the big European leagues and have a keen interest in the game. Don't know how I manage it though lol

[Defazzini VR]

@ahmed_1 Ahh awesome

Yeah I can see you are very interested in football and have a good overall knowledge. You have XBL?
