Leandro Castan - what a monster. The tackle on Matos in the first half said it all, and after that when Cuadrado got by him for about half a second . Our defence were ridiculously watertight tonight. That has to be the most toothless Fiorentina have looked all season.
Weird win. Feels good to be in the CL, though we will be facing really tough matchups due to our coefficient. Hopefully now Sabatini has the green light to go after reinforcements.
Morgan is so awesome. I'm gutted that he's nearing the end of his career. We'll have to work hard to find another keeper who is a good communicator along with everything else. But I'll put that thought away for now and enjoy the moment. It's been a while since Roma have made me that happy. What an incredible season. It's funny that one may even call us "unlucky", seeing that we're sitting with 82 points in the standings. Just remember where we were in the summer and where we are now. Fantastic season. P.S. and for the schtat freaks - we have equaled our defensive record from 03/04, where we had 19 goals conceded in 34 games.
Never thought I would love Morgan so much at the start of the season. @Il Ciuccio ended up being right about him.
Great game http://www.goal-247.com/Matches/2290/SerieA/ACF-Fiorentina-A.S.-Roma/Saturday-April-19-20-00
This picture says it all. Those 3 + Romagnoli is what all other italian teams lack, especially the so called grands. Many home grown-players, born in the city, fans of the club, part of the club, giving it all for the club. Forza Roma!
haha poor Toloi still trying to melt in. Love the positive energy, despite losing the scudetto after a near perfect season. Hopefully this get us into the right mentality for next year.
Don't know if i wanna go crazy cause we're back in the UCL. or if i wanna be mad because we dropped to 4th seed and are probably going to be facing a group with Real Madrid / PSG / Liverpool / Roma.
Ya told you guys he was going to be a great pick up im glad and pissed off at him at the same time I personally though many dont think so was a mistake to let him go. Im glad he is doing well but im also pissed off at the fact that he hardly had big time WTF moments like he did with us....That Fio goal that he conceded last season still makes me wonder how he ever became a goalkeeper playing in Serie A. It also annoys me how it seems he has erased his Napoli past as if it never had happened.
