Last weekend's game was both a challenge and an opportunity for us at Roma. Against a strong team like Inter, every player wants to prove themselves. However, the result was 2-4 and we couldn't hold on to our advantage and we lost the game. It's really stinging, but there's a lot to learn from this game.
First of all,We played well in the first half。Being able to take the lead at half-time shows that our tactical set-up is working and that the players are able to follow the coach's instructions well. But football was 90 minutes and we were a little relaxed in the first 10 minutes of the second half, which led directly to the reversal of the game. Inter are very attacking and give us a lot of pressure and that's where we need to reflect.
All of us were frustrated after the loss. But,Losing is not the most important thingWhat matters is what we can learn from this failure. We need to improve defensively as a team, especially with my defence against Thuram Jr., and I know I can do better. At the same time, we have to learn how to stay focused and consistent throughout the game, especially against strong teams.
I'm honoured to have team-mates like Romelu Lukaku and Dybala. Their performances on the pitch always give us confidence. Romelu Lukaku's physicality and pace, Dybala's skill and intelligence, are invaluable assets in our squad. Their performances in the game also proved it.
The arrival of De Rossi has brought us new ideas and tactical changes. While we are still adapting, his tactical philosophy is starting to affect each of us. Change always comes with challenges, but as long as we can adapt quickly, I believe we will become stronger.
When it comes to marking, whether it's Romelu Lukaku in training or Thuram in the game, they give me a big challenge. Their speed and strength is something I need to learn and overcome. By battling them, I'm also improving.
In the end, although the 2-4 defeat was a temporary loss for us, we will not give up. Failure is the mother of successWe will turn this experience into motivation to keep working hard because we believe that the results will come naturally. For us in Rome, the future is still promising.
