Football is becoming a simple game at Roma: everyone runs, and then Malen scores.
This has been the trend since January. The Dutch striker has had a devastating impact: 13 goals in 16 Serie A games, during his time in the top five leagues, no one has scored more.
Only Kane has had the same performance in front of goal.
A top-scorer’s pace; just consider that the 1999-born player is just four points behind Lautaro Martinez (17), who has had half a season more. These numbers are helping Roma keep their Champions League dream alive.
Gasperini and his team have set a goal for the season: qualifying for next season’s Champions League. To return to the competition, Roma will need to earn at least one point more than AC Milan or two more than Spalletti’s Juventus.
As Repubblica reports, a fourth-place finish would reshape the future at Trigoria.
The nearly €20 million guaranteed for qualifying for the Champions League depends heavily on the schedule requested by the Giallorossi coach.
Roma needs a new sporting director; Massara was in the stands yesterday, but the club continues its casting process to replace him, and Gasperini wants a squad ready to go immediately.
The Grugliasco-born coach is demanding a new contract with Paulo Dybala, one of the key figures in the 3-2 victory at the Tardini against Parma. The next two matches will impact Roma’s future.
