Five of Fiorentina against Roma. Juric at risk of dismissal

Fiorentina outclasses Roma 5-1 at the end of a match almost completely dominated by the Viola team. For Juric, Franchi’s could be his last bench as a Capitoline coach given that his team was not only beaten, but showed worrying signs of a blackout continuing in the wake of a “no” moment only momentarily interrupted with last Thursday’s success in the Europa League. The hosts are good and lucky to direct the match in their favor from the first minutes, with Palladino’s men having territorial dominance and having an easy game from a Giallorossi team that is objectively in difficulty.

It’s no coincidence that between the 9th and 16th minutes the Viola went ahead by two goalsfirst with a masterful action closed by Kean after a triangle between the latter and Beltran, and then with Beltran who wrong-footed Svilar with a penalty, the maximum punishment awarded for an unexpected foul by Celik on Bove. The Roma situation was so serious that Juric immediately made two changes shortly after the half hour mark with Koné and Zalewski taking the place of Cristante and Angelino. The fruits were immediately seen for the guests in light of the fact that one of the new substitutes, Koné, beat De Gea with a right-footed shot from outside the area and temporarily reopened the match. However, the fears at Viola last for two turns of the clock with Bove, exhilarating in front of his former team, who Kean needs an assist who anticipates the entire Roma defense and makes it three to one.During the play, the guests protested loudly for an alleged foul by Gosens on Celik.

At the beginning of the second half Juric changes his Roma again by removing the yellow carded Mancini and inserting Baldanzi, switching to a more attacking 4-2-3-1. The tactical change, however, had no effect as Bove closed the game already in the 52nd minute at the end of an amazing Viola team action. The guests accuse and collect yellow cards, three in ten minutes, namely Pisilli, Konè and Hermoso, the latter then sent off already in the 65th minute, with Juric who resignedly sits on the bench around the hour mark. When Dybala’s free kick was deflected onto the post by De Gea, the Giallorossi understood that it was definitely the middle of the night. The Giallorossi number 10 leaves the field shortly after to give space to Hummels on his debut in Serie A andamong other things, he scored an own goal following a header from Kouame after just 4′ from the debut. A record. At the end of the match there was room for Martinez Quarta’s experiment in midfield and Svilar who avoided an even worse humiliation for his team by saying at least three more times to an exaggerated Fiorentina.
