Daniele De Rossi didn’t miss his start as head coach of AS Roma. Thanks to his striker Romelu Lukaku. The Red Devil scored the opening goal and provided wonderful preparatory work a few moments later.
Five changes at AS Roma after the hopeless defeat against AC Milan. The new coach Daniele De Rossi wanted to set an example in the home game against Hellas Verona and quickly forget Mourinho. No changes in attack. It’s not easy to put a striker like Romelu Lukaku on the bench.
His teammates like to visit him. Sometimes a little too much. Edoardo Bove was alone in front of the goal, but then passed it back to Big Rom. Couldn’t finish, missed opportunity. Ten minutes later, El Shaarawy stopped three players. The Italian also had a good overview and served the overtaken Lukaku. This time it hits. His ninth goal of the season.

Lukaku got better and better as the game went on – including when playing football. Shortly before the half hour mark, the Red Devil broke through on the right. The subsequent cross is worth seeing. El Shaarawy still deviated and Pellegrini was able to cross the finish line. What a start for De Rossi.

The hardest part is already behind us. Shortly after the half-time break, Folorunsho seemed to bring the tension back into play with the equalizer, but the goal was disallowed due to an attacking error. Verona refused to restore tension for a particularly long time. After a handball by the Romans, the ball ended up at the penalty spot, but Duric narrowly missed the penalty.
Folorunsho then tried from a distance. This time with success. Rui Patricio didn’t look good, but the guests didn’t care: 2-1.
There was no longer a dangerous final offensive. AS Roma knows again what it means to win.
