Dybala enlightened a confused Roma at Empoli

The Rome it remains confused, confused with confusion, both to create a game and to destroy it. The little big difference with respect to the nonsense of Udinese (4-0) and the accident of Ludogorets (2-1), is that, this time, he hides his improbable appearance after the result, a victory at Empoli with just enough.

The capital team in Empoli confirmed its worrying lack of solutions to deal with withdrawn teams, regardless of their category and, what should cause Mourinho great concern, a worrisome defensive weakness. The romanista team suffers from low mobility and abuse of foot passes, making it a predictable team with a lack of continuity. Resources are often reduced to lateral centers of lanes, what rivals are looking for, in other words. And this move was the only thing that brought him chances in the first half amid a lack of chances.

Abraham’s header on the post in the center of Celik was preceded by the surprise of paulo dybala. Roma is far from giving the Argentine a defined game plan that allows him to express all his quality, but the stars are also claimed that they build from nothing and made by the former Juventus player. The striker, with determination and a perfect technical gesture, launched himself for a ball that was rejected in front and penetrated the squad with his zurriagazo in the 17th minute. Serious oversight by Empoli by leaving the area unprotected but the great sense of Dybala.

But the group of Paolo Zanetti He warned of Roma’s problems in defending the lateral centers, which was proven in the corrective experienced in Udine (4-0). The ‘giallarrossi’ are often guilty of finding their withdrawal too far backin his own place, and to give the front and wings space to project the lateral centers in time.

Parisi terrorized Roma with a shot into Satriano’s middle, winning the match Roger Ibanezand the tying goal, in the 30th minute, ended up proving Romanista’s weakness in the lateral centers in a chain of mischief in the area. Stojanović He put it in from the right side unopposed and, after the ball bounced with no one to clear, Bandinelli he nodded in the face of Çelik’s passivity.

Roma, though they tried to be more upright and reaffirmed their commitment to try it out on the wings, did not break out of their cautious game in the second half despite Empoli’s greater concessions, behind and almost inside of the area with progress. of minutes. Parisian took under the sticks a shot of Ibanez but Zanetti’s men threatened another romanist disaster with a match that was wasted by Satrian, which ended outside.

Y Dybala the mess was resolved amidst the confusion of the ‘Mou’ boys. Before the executor, this time it was the Argentine who created in a showy and complete: movement violation on the wing from outside to inside, cut and stroke the ball to put it at the far post for a look with a shot from first Abraham.

The match raged in the final minutes with a flurry of setbacks, controversy and VAR intervention. It started Pellegrini, stamping on the crossbar in the 79th minute of the penalty caused by Ibáñez, sending the central defender out of the attack in the second period. Next, adjusted the mid-range shot from Akpa-Akpro deflected off the post by Rui Patricio so Empoli’s ’11’ resigned from the game, sent off with a straight red card after the action was reviewed by VAR for a kick to the head of Smalling in an attempt to finish.

He left Bellotti and scored, but also needed two saves from Rui Patrick in the last moments of Rome that goes to the right thing, relying heavily on the inspiration of Dybala. Today it served you, tomorrow it may not. On Thursday, the fight is on but low Helsinki in the Europa League and with the support of the loud ones Olympics in Romemore will be needed.
