De Rossi leads Roma to 2-1 win against Verona days after Mourinho’s sack
Daniele De Rossi marked his debut on the Roma bench with a successful outing, guiding his team to a 2-1 win over Verona.
The victory came after a tough period for the club, which saw the departure of former manager Jose Mourinho following a series of disappointing results.
De Rossi, Roma’s legend, wasted no time in implementing his tactics, opting for a 4-3-2-1 formation.
Despite missing key players due to various reasons, including suspensions, international duty, and injuries, Roma managed to secure the win.
The breakthrough came when Stephan El Shaarawy set up Romelu Lukaku, who calmly found the back of the net from close range.
Moments later, Lukaku turned provider, assisting Lorenzo Pellegrini, whose finish doubled Roma’s lead.
Verona tried to mount a comeback and thought they had scored through Michael Folorunsho, but the effort was disallowed for a foul.
They were later awarded a penalty, but Djuric’s miss kept Roma in the lead.
Folorunsho did manage to pull one back for Verona with a powerful strike that caught Roma goalkeeper Rui Patricio off guard.
However, Roma’s defense held firm, with their goalkeeper making crucial saves to secure the win for his team.
