Across the Romaverse Podcast, #45: Roma’s Derby Win, Fonseca’s Olimpico Farewell

It’s been a while since we’ve been able to talk about the Giallorossi beating a top-six side in Serie A. But, lo and behold, in Paulo Fonseca’s last crack at a fellow big side before he rides down the Appian Way into the Roma sunset, the Giallorossi got it done against rivals Lazio.

If Roma can only beat one top side a season, the Biancocelese are certainly the one to do it against. And this time around, the Giallorossi did it in a fairly convincing fashion, defeating Lazio 2-0.

In this episode, Sean and I break down Roma’s victory against its city rivals and discuss Fonseca’s departure. Plus we intermingled a bunch of listener questions throughout the episode. So, be sure to tune in to hear us discuss the following and much more:

• Roma’s increased intensity- Can it be done for 38 matches?
• Zaniolo’s fit in this side
• Media opinions of Roma’s collapse this season
• Should Fonseca have switched to the 4-2-3-1 sooner?
• Who would’ve been dropped if it happened sooner?
• Fuzato and Darboe’s performances and roles going forward
• Fonseca’s positive mentality vs Roma’s capacity for self-destruction
• Fonseca’s legacy and future
