Fabregas and Gasperini were the authors of the first goalless draw of the championship, yet it was not a disappointing match. But in the coming months it is physiological that prudence will triumph…
It took 54 games and then the first “nil-nil” of the season appeared in Serie A. Como and Roma gave birth to it at the end of a match that was neither boring nor banal, in which both teams tried to outdo each other and which in the second half, after Malen’s expulsion which left the Giallorossi numerically inferior, became almost a Como monologue.
Summary of Senigaglia’s afternoon: Gasperini has an extremely solid group, it’s difficult to imagine sudden declines over the course of the year even if in the first two championship tests against Inter and Como he was unable to go beyond a draw. Fabregas, on the other hand, continues on the path of building a project which from now on will have to accelerate in collecting points. The others in front fly, going slowly is a luxury that no one can afford.
The 0-0 draw between Como and Roma, however, should not be surprising. The two teams that have finished with the best defenses in the last two championships were compared. So, raise your hand if you could imagine something different despite having had opportunities scattered here and there from Como and Roma, including a post hit by Pellegrini and Butez beaten.
In short, the goalless draw could also be episodic and not the result of Fabregas and Gasperini’s desire not to take risks. Good sign for Serie A although as autumn progresses and winter arrives, when points will start to weigh much more than now, it will be physiological to see teams less and less willing to take risks to attack.
