Sunday 23rd march – English news of today:
After beating Chievo in yesterday’s match, the giallorossi came back to Rome and started training at Trigoria looking forward to Turin’s match, which will take place on Tuesday. Maicon worked aside, while the rest of the group conducted a light training focusing on shooting from outside of the box. Tomorrow they will have another training session starting from 11 A.M. Rodrigo Taddei and Gervinho commented yesterday’s match against Chievo on their Twitter accounts, saying that these were 3 important points. In fact, today Napoli lost against Fiorentina 0-1 and Roma gained 3 points lead on Rafa Benitez lads. Meanwhile, the society received a penalty of 6.000 euros caused by some supporters throwing 2 smoke pots and 4 firecrackers into the pitch. Mehdi Benatia will skip next match against Torino because of the yellow card he got yesterday, so Garcia will contemplate on who will be defending with Castan on Tuesday. Will it be Toloi’s debut? Not really, because it will probably be one between Romagnoli and De Rossi to take Benatia’s place.
Moving on, there are mainly two market rumors that concern Roma: one is Romelu Lukaku, which is on loan to Everton but will return at Chelsea at the end of the season. Mourinho wants to sell him for about 20 milions and then re-invest on Cavani or maybe Diego Costa. At the moment, on the belgian striker there are Roma and Borussia Dortmund. Furthermore, Javier Pastore’s rumors wanting him in Roma next year get weaker as Walter Sabatini prefers Miralem Pjanic to stay in the club instead of selling him and getting the Argentinian midfielder.
