“Anti-Lazio”… That’s what the koreo posted by her fans said Rome in the Curva Sud and its footballers made sure to show the hated rival how “inhospitable” they are.
With its leader, Lorenzo Pellegrinito score, to kiss the signal by showing it to the whole “Olympic” and especially to the opposite side so that they realize who is doing… command and the Alexis Salemakers to find the net as well, the “Derby della Capitale” was painted bright red (2-0).
Lazio left with their heads down. For the second derby in a row, she failed to please her friends, who responded with their own choreo on the other shoe. “Since 1900, bosses of ourselves, captains of our souls”… They were left with only the impressions of it, after being left empty-handed in one of the biggest matches of the season.
“It’s a derby, a match that you feel something more”said Claudio Ranieri before the battle for the… eyes of the eternal city. He knew that he has the player who… feels these derbies more than any other. And let him say that he does not choose him in the original format. The one who has been so maligned by the world, the one who was blamed for the dismissals of De Rossi and Juric. THE Lorenzo Pellegrinia native of Jaloroso, had no intention of putting it down. She sent her opponents from the opposite side with a terrible feint, scored with an impeccable placement and set the field on fire in just the 10th minute.

As for celebrating it? He kissed and flashed the sign all over the court, huddled with his teammates and sent… hearts to his beloved and crazy teammates.
Eight minutes later and before the “Biancocelesti” recovered from the first blow, a second came to make them fall to the ropes. In the 18th minute, Salemakers entered the area from the right side, executed but o provide chased away on foot. Temporarily, however, after the same player took the rebound for 2-0.

THE Ranieri he was looking on smiling from the bench. “novelist” and he knows how much this result counts in the city, which his players had made sure to… prescribe from the twenty minute mark. Baroni, for his part, saw that his players had lost their minds, with the cards against him Gila and Jakani to be indicative of both being absent from next week’s home match against Como.
Roma went 2-0 down at half-time and Lazio played their part in the second. Castegianos and Gedouzi they saw Svilar stop them, while Provedel had an answer to his final Pellegrini in the 58th minute. In the… caps, Tsouna touched the reduction of the score, but the crossbar deprived him of the goal and left Lazio with an “ah”.
The minutes passed and it was clear that the gas in Lazio’s… tank was emptying. Unlike that of the Roma fans, who will make sure to keep the “eternal city” awake with the noise they will make. Just as it happened at the end, and while the dismissal of Castegianos had preceded it, when Pellegrini took his teammates and brought them to the front, celebrating with the crowd a great victory, in the first game of the new year.
