With the current squad it is actually difficult for De Rossi to create a miracle because indeed previously the Roma management has made it clear that they do not have money to buy players except only on loan players, and that is why previously the owners of Roma did not have a good relationship with Mourinho because Mourinho continued to force the owner to improve the squad if he wanted to compete in Serie A,  but luckily for Roma at this time they have De Rossi who is indeed at least able to lift Roma performance to get into the Champions League zone, I think De Rossi success in bringing Roma to European competiition will Certainly be a benchmark for the management to extend his contract next season.

The question now that de Rossi has been able to take Roma to the eurozone is, did Mourinho at Roma fail?
I Personally of course answer NO, because after all Mourinho has done a lot at the club and even if we look at the main players used by De Rossi is Currently the main line-up of Mourinho previous choice, Besides De Rossi is only given the responsibiliity of bringing the team to just Compete in the Europa League zone, while Mourinho 0bviously has a greater responsibility by having to bring Roma to compete for the Scudetto by Relying only on a makeshift squad.

Of course it is not an easy task for a new manager to handle a team like AS Roma who are fighting hard to improve their performance so that they are at a better level than before, of course AS Roma wants a UCL place next season, therefore De Rossi is trying to bring AS Roma to zone even though it is a little difficult, I think if De Rossi is able to build a better squad maybe he will be extended by Roma at the end of this season because as far as I know De Rossi's contract is only until the end of the season therefore De Rossi has to make the board and supporters believe that he is not an amateur trainer.

It was a serious fight in the home of Lazio but they couldn't use home advantage to defeat Udinese, because they where very prepared to make the match difficult for Lazio and they did it by defeated Lazio 1-2 in the favour of Udinese. Many people predicted for the favour of Lazio based on their position and their last match performance, but it was a surprised thing in the second half seen Udinese changed the match to scored the first goal at 47 minutes and still added another goal at 51 minutes to caused celebration in the stadium. Lazio coach and fans where not happy with what Udinese did to Lazio in their home to took the three points from the match, despite Udinese player received red card in the second half but no single chance for Lazio to equalize the goals.

No Serie A team is competing for the title anymore. There is still a long journey to the end of the season. However, the Inter Milan team has already become the undeclared champions.

The Juventus team performed well at the start of the season. But now they are not in good form. Juventus lost points in consecutive matches. Juventus have won just one of their last 5 matches. Lost two and drew two matches. And after such a poor performance the team also lost the second place in the table. AC Milan is now second in the points table. Juventus, however, are in a very poor form. Even then, it will not be difficult for Juventus to qualify for the Champions League. Because Juventus is now 10 points ahead of Roma, who is  in fifth place in the table.

It was really disappointing to have to watch Lazio's performance today because they were favored to win against clubs far below them because they had a big chance to win the match but unfortunately Lazio failed to take advantage of this opportunity and instead had to suffer defeat. Even though Lazio were completely dominant in controlling the game with 70%, they were unable to break through Udinese's defense and the goal Lazio scored was thanks to an own goal by a Udinese player. Seeing this was certainly very disappointing for the supporters who watched live on the field and for the bettors, of course many also experienced disappointment because of course many thought Lazio would win this match.

It seems that Lazio's mentality has declined a bit recently because after being defeated by Bayern Munich, they have also experienced consecutive defeats and only won one win in the last 5 matches, so when they faced Bayern Munich, Lazio had even more difficulties.

Udinese is of course very satisfied with the results of this victory because they were able to put a lot of pressure on the home club. Even though they made a mistake by committing an own goal, Udinese still tried hard to increase the total goals in order to be able to create a victory and finally the last goal was created by Oier Zarraga became the deciding factor for their victory today and brought home the 3 points.

I also felt there was something strange about Juventus. The reason is, the Juventus coach must be able to find the problem why his team often gets less than optimal results recently. However, until now Allegri does not seem to have found a bright spot for the problems currently plaguing Juventus. The reason is that in the previous match, Juventus was only able to bring home a draw against Atalanta. In Juventus' current situation, I think just getting a draw is very unsafe. The reason is that in positions 4 and 5 there are Bologna and AS Roma who will continue to struggle to continue to climb their rankings.

Especially with AS Roma whose performance is currently on the rise after changing coaches. So the point is that Juventus must be able to improve and improve its performance as soon as possible. Because, if not, Bologna or AS Roma could overtake Juventus. And don't let Juventus fail to win Champions League (UEFA) tickets again like last season.

Then talk about the possible causes of Juventus' decline in performance. Maybe there is a problem between the coach and the players at Juventus, that is the most reasonable possibility. Because it's strange that Juventus' performance to date has not improved. The reason is, a team like Juventus with an experienced coach like Allegri should be able to resolve problems like this more quickly. So the most reasonable possibility is that currently there is a dispute between the coach and the Juventus players. Which resulted in a decline in Juventus' performance.

I think the drew is not good result for AS Roma if want secure top fourth position standings, had advantage position after the fourth team standings Bologna defeated by Inter Milan and opportunity for AS Roma to make close their points behind top fourth position but failed get three points. Indeed with Daniele De Rossi still have impressive record 6 won of 8 matches, get one draw and loss its very good started as new manager but he need reminder target achieving for securing top fourth position and playing in Champion League next season.

AS Roma young goal keeper Mile Svilar have played last seven matches in a row all competition, he had impressive performance and success get trust from Daniele De Rossi to give him regular position and make senior goals keeper Rui Patricio have set on the bench more than last seven matches for AS Roma in all competition, will the era for Mile Svilar get regular position as AS Roma goal keeper?

with only a draw against atlanta. juventus must have raised the white flag and say good bye to the Italian league champions serie A this season. let alone to catch up with inter Milan, even the second position has been coupled there AC Milan, currently juventus is ranked 3rd in the Italian league standings.

Roma played well in attacking and they deserved with two goals in this match but I agree that they were lucky to get one point from Fiorentina. Fiorentina generally played better than Roma and they nearly were able to beat Roma if Roma did not score the late goal which is fantastic or if Fiorentina players finish better.

This draw makes the competition for a fourth and fifth positions more exciting. There are some clubs are competing for two positions include Fiorentina and they all still have chances to get one of these positions.

Because there are many clubs participate in this competition, there will be some direct matches between them that potentially cause big changes on their rankings. Last 10 match days in Serie A will be very exciting and it's very hard to predict two teams will take 4th and 5th positions at the end.

It should be like that because if the AS Roma coach has been replaced but there is no change, it will make AS Roma lose money, and of course that would be a very embarrassing failure. Luckily, AS Roma against Fiorentina managed to make the result a draw and not lose. Roma must try to find a new strategy that can provide victory and enter the top three of the standings.

Udinese managed to beat Lazio with a score of 2-1 in front of their supporters, a victory that surprised us. Before the match started, Lazio were very favorites to win, because playing at home, but Udinese had a much bigger mission to stay away from the red zone. An additional 3 points moved Udinese slightly away from the relegation zone, while Lazio attempt to overtake Fiorentina and climb the rankings again failed this week. Maurizio Sarri has to work harder if he has the ambition to bring his squad to play in European competitions next season.

We have once again seen a very terrible outing by Lazio tonight as it seems their days of doom lingers. They had the chance of fighting for a spot at the external competitions next season after crashing out of the champions league, courtesy of Bayern Munic, the German destroyers who never felt any pity for them in that encounter. It was expected though because Lazio was able to summon courage to win Bayern Munic 1-0, this I believe was what infuriated Bayern Munic that made them reply them in the manner they did. Udinese winning Lazio in their home is a bad result for Lazio.

The results are in. Lazio managed to disappoint their home fans again. Udinese took the lead after Lazio's equalizer in the 51st minute. I felt thar was enough time for Lazio to pile the pressure on Udinese to force the equalizer. I don't know what happened as I stopped watching after Immobile was taken off. That's another loss for Lazio in less than a week. They got thrashed out of the UCL knockout stage and then lose at home here to Udinese. They'd have to do better because Lazio used to get good results a few weeks ago, now a shadow of former self with this back to back losses.

Disappointing.

It turns out that this week, there were several other top clubs whose match results were draws, not only Napoli, but also:
- Juventus 2 vs 2 Atalanta
- Fiorentina 2 vs 2 Roma

Meanwhile, Inter and AC Milan won but with a narrow score, 1 - 0 against their respective opponents.

This time, Lazio is competing against Udinese.
And the result was quite surprising because it was Lazio who were behind on the score for a while until the 90th+2 minute.
Lazio 1 vs 2 Udinese

It's quite unfortunate that Juventus, which was supposed to be a scudetto contender this season, is actually sluggish and can be said to have failed to achieve that. Previously, I predicted that the Old Lady would be able to talk a lot because they only focus on Serie A and the Coppa Italia so they can concentrate more on everything. As a result of bad results in the last few matches, they have started to be willing to drop to 3rd place, which was successfully taken by AC Milan. Allegri is of course in the spotlight and if the team's performance doesn't improve he could be fired at the end of the season and in my opinion Juventus really needs to be able to carry out a complete overhaul.

Allegri couldn't do much this season, his squad had the momentum to compete fiercely in the race for the Scudetto with Inter Milan, then their performance declined slowly as if they were running out of energy. As a result, Milan managed to overtake their position, and Juventus was forced to drop to third place in the standings. In the last five matches Juventus recorded 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. But regarding finishing in the top four of the standings, I have no doubts about Allegri squad, the difference of 7 points with Bologna as their closest competitor is still considered very safe.

Not appearing in European competitions does not make Juventus journey in domestic competitions easy, overall Juventus main weakness is the lack of suitable rotation options. Injuries and sanctions are other problems facing Juventus this season, Allegri cannot be blamed for the setback they are currently experiencing. However, Juventus still has the ambition to finish in second place in the standings and wants to reclaim their place from Milan in the remaining matches ahead.

No, a draw is not good for Roma because it has made Bologna 2 points ahead of them in 4th place in the standings. Roma ultimately failed to maintain their winning consistency where previously they had held 3 consecutive wins against Frosinone, Torino and Monza, but they had to end the match with a draw against Fiorentina.

Roma will play the second leg of the Europa League against Brighton, but thanks to their large aggregate advantage it is not a problem for Roma to play safe. A draw in that match was fine for Roma, but a win would improve the team's morale ahead of the match against Sassuolo.

The draw obtained by Juventus shows that they are still not consistent with their performance. Allegri missed many important moments this season. On the other hand, Pioli managed to slowly improve AC Milan position. Of course, we can no longer talk about the Scudetto for these two clubs. Because the points that Inter has are too far away for Juve or AC Milan to catch up. But the fight for 2nd place is still quite interesting to follow.

AS Roma improved a lot since the dismissal of Mourinho. Even that draw against Fiorentina was kinda appreciated since they scored two goals even though they were close to lose it until the last minutes.
Roma have to secure a place for one of UEFA competition next year. In my opinion, picking Bologna spot and go to Champions League will be a great achievement, otherwise securing the actual Europa League spot have to be done quickly.

As the first half drew to a close, the scoreboard remained deadlocked at 0-0, indicating a tightly contested match. Examining Udinese's tactical setup of 3-5-2, it's evident that their strategic plans are yielding results on the field. Udinese's approach has been predominantly defensive, opting for counterattacks to catch Lazio off guard, a tactic proving effective thus far. Despite Lazio's dominance in ball possession, they have failed to register any shots on target due to Udinese's resolute defensive efforts, denying them any clear scoring opportunities. Meanwhile, Udinese has managed to create three goal-scoring chances of their own.

The game hangs in the balance, with Udinese poised to snatch victory if Lazio fails to remain vigilant against their organized defensive play. Despite Lazio's control of the midfield, Udinese's persistent counterattacks continue to apply pressure, complicating Lazio's attempts to break the deadlock. The second half promises to be intriguing, as Lazio may seek to adapt their approach, although it remains doubtful whether any tactical adjustments can disrupt Udinese's disciplined defensive strategy.
