Roma's Dominant Victory Over Lazio
00:00:15
Speaker
Another action-packed weekend in Serie A. Roma, they defeat Lazio 3-0, absolutely dismantling their rivals, led by none other than Tammy Abraham, who scores twice, and then Lorenzo Pellegrini, who scores an absolutely sensational free kick. But for Abraham, he sets the record for most goals for Roma in the debut season, surpassing Battistuta and Montela.
00:00:24
Speaker
The following is a clip from this week's Italian football podcast.
Dybala's Departure from Juventus and Team Strategy Changes
00:00:42
Speaker
And then elsewhere, we learned today, Carlo, that Paolo Di Bala won't pen a contract renewal with Juve and all signs are pointing to a summer exit. What do you make of that? I mean, it's sad. I mean, he's been an amazing player, a symbol of the club, but it is the right call. It's the right call from Juventus. He's just too tactically inflexible for Juve. He can't play in a 4-3-3, which is the formation that Juventus should go forward with.
00:01:11
Speaker
He's too injury-prone and he's had six injuries this season. He's just breaking down all the time. And you just can't justify paying him $10 million a year, even $7 million a year, for a multi-year contract and a player who is so injury-prone and who's so tactically inflexible. And getting rid of Dibala means that Yubei can free up the salary for players to improve the team, improve the squad, you know, somebody like Rudiga or even Apogba.
00:01:38
Speaker
someone that will actually, players that will actually strengthen the team and will suit Juve better.
Milan's Persistence in Scudetto Race
00:01:44
Speaker
And then we also have to speak of Milan. They went again against Calgary and they just continue to roll on. They take control of the Scudetto race and I think they're going to win it now. Third 1-0 win in a row. They keep winning even though they don't play well and they did play well against Caliari. Cali, but luck seems to be on their side a little bit now. And that's how you win when you win leagues, when you win, when you're not playing well. And Milan really look like a Scudetto winning side.
