This morning they started the first training season. There are a lot of players absent most through injury, some of the Confed Cup guys with permission.

L´ALLENAMENTO: PRIMA SEDUTA A RISCONE DI BRUNICO, TADDEI GIÀ TIRATO A LUCIDO
pubblicata venerdì 3 luglio 2009

Primo allenamento a Riscone di Brunico per la Roma. Poco dopo le 9.30 la squadra giallorossa è scesa sul terreno di gioco per effettuare una prima sgambatura intorno ai campi del centro sportivo altoatesino. Taddei e Perrotta hanno guidato il gruppo, Vucinic è entrato sul terreno di gioco in leggero ritardo. Il montenegrino è apparso in difficoltà e spesso in affanno. Dopo una prima fase di riscaldamento il preparatore atletico Bertelli ha diviso i suoi uomini in quattro gruppi, che erano così composti:

1 - Menez, Cassetti, Greco, Stojan
2 - Malomo, Antunes, Guberti, Perrotta, Taddei
3 - Mexes, Totti, Esposito, Barusso, Pizarro
4 - Tonetto, Vucinic, Pit, Faty, D'Alessandro

Il più in forma è sembrato Rodrigo Taddei, che ha guidato il gruppo giallorosso durante tutta la fase atletica.

Circa cinquanta tifosi hanno assistito all'allenamento.

Not much info there expect that Taddei looked to be in good form and quite sharp, while Mirko showed up late and was pretty out of shape.

Considering we have failed again to sign a second to Taddei, it's really important for him to have a good pre-season and start the season right. Last year he was injured in the summer and never got into the right groove. I hope this year he's able to get a better start because I always maintain that an inform Taddei is crucial to Spalletti's 4-2-3-1, which I'm sure he will propose as the module this season.

Do we know the health status of Cici? Has he been participating in the start of training? I thought he would have recovered for the start of the season.

How does FRANCESCO TOTTI look and feel?

[Vulpinous]

thats not good for vucinic. season starts in less than 2 months... Time is getting thin; especially if Huntelaar gets signed by milan this week

Here's an interesting blurb, about how the players are paired up in hotel rooms during the pre-season. Only Totti get's his own room. What a cheap club we have, the youngsters are 3 to a room.

Secondo consuetudine, dopo i primi giorni di ritiro esce la distribuzione dei giocatori nelle camere in albergo. Totti è l'unico ad avere una singola. L'altra disponibile, era riservata a Montella, che si è ritirato. L'albergo Hinterhuber che ospita la Roma è pieno anche per la concomitanza di un torneo giovanile di tennis. Dalla prossima settimana dovrebbe liberarsi qualche camera. Ecco come si sono suddivisi gli altri giocatori:

Mexes-Menez
Vucinic-Cassetti
Tonetto-Perrotta
Faty-Barusso
Taddei-Artur
Julio Sergio-Pizarro
Guberti-Esposito
Pit-Greco-Antunes
Malomo-D'Alessandro-Bertolacci
Frasca-Stoian-Pena

I più giovani hanno una sistemazione in tripla.

Don't sweat it man, just post frequently and I'll try my best to put lot's of information on here.

If you want to see some pictures from pre-season try going to romanews.eu, it's in Italian but the post pictures and updates from the training.

Here is a video of yesterday's friendly match. AS Roma won the game 9-0, but don't get too excited because it was against a local selection and not a professional team.

AS Roma 9 - 0 Rappresentativa Brunico

AS Roma 9 - 0 Rappresentativa Brunico

I cringe at the thought of Esposito being the player that will come off the bench and try to help turn things around.
