The results confirmed that Roma were in good shape before the break. That Roma can become a pretender to the very first positions was confirmed by the quality of the game ideas that Fonseca was able to convey and that the team plays regardless of whether or not the players considered owners or presumed to be present. Despite the numerous absences, the quality of play of the Giallorossi was not affected and Roma literally demolished the resistance of a Parma who showed up at the Olimpico with a change of form (from the usual 4-3-1-2 to 3-5- 2) and a decidedly more wait-and-see attitude. Liverani’s strategy did not pay, Roma was able to read and find the right solutions for the yellow and blue ‘surprise’. Borja Mayoral’s extraordinary talent for team play and Mkhitaryan’s incredible quality on the frontline, added to the constant and frenzied drive of Spinazzola and Karsdorp on the outside lanes, made the difference. The 3-0 final is the right reward for a team that is growing exponentially and can frighten all the contenders for the Scudetto.
Immediate eve with the thrill for Fonseca due to the small muscle problem accused by Mancini in the warm-up, an injury that could have complicated an already difficult defensive situation due to the numerous absences that forced the hijacking of Cristante to the role of central defensive. However, the Giallorossi defender overcomes the problem and regularly takes the field. Fonseca grants space to Villar in midfield and row Borja Mayoral forward as a replacement for Dzeko. Parma seems to be able to sting with the speed of Gervinho and with Inglese to act as a decoy, Cyprien and Sohm also on the field. With the passing of the minutes, however, Roma gained the field and began to grind the game. The advantage bears the signature of Borja Mayoral who on an assist from Spinazzola eludes the intervention of the Parma central players and mocked Sepe with a soft touch. Liverani’s team is stunned and after 4 ‘he is doubled thanks to a splendid conclusion from outside the area by Mkhitaryan. The Armenian is the extra man of Roma, Karsdorp pushes like a train on the right and puts in the middle a tense ball that cuts off the whole Parma defensive line. On the second post again Mkhitaryan backed into the net for an easy 3-0 easy.
At the beginning of recovery Fonseca loses Ibanez to a muscle problem, enters Juan Jesus. Parma’s reaction is expected, but it does not arrive. The plot is the same and Rome continues to attack. Already in the first quarter of an hour of the second half Pedro and a Veretout touched the goal of 4-0 twice. Roma tries repeatedly and Mkhitaryan himself goes close to another hat-trick. Parma kicks for the first time towards Mirante’s goal in the 66th minute with a conclusion from the newly entered Karamoh defused without problems by the Giallorossi goalkeeper. In the final race, Fonseca tries to manage his energies and opts for all five changes available. The last 10 ‘of the race, with one cross of Spinazzola as a further jolt, they are a triumphal catwalk for Roma that still collects three points and rises to an altitude of 17. Parma stopped at 6.
