Between the words and what will happen, as always, is the field. The only real Supreme Court of the ball. Discounted, but good to remember and keep in mind. Because in the end everyone shrinks from this. But then there is the ability and the desire to be dry and measured, a rare commodity in football. And I must say that I really liked Friedkin’s approach. Without diving into the pool, without the promise of winning who knows what and in who knows how long, and even less the unstoppable temptation to want to put Rome on top of the world.. In words, of course.
No, none of this. I Friedkin in my opinion they chose the right path. Dan said: “The fans want three things: a team that they can be proud of, a club that they appreciate, understand and share their passion and ownership, that is present and honest.”. Simple but profound statements. And the extreme synthesis of everything that, more or less, has not been Rome in recent years. And it is clear that the Friedkins have studied the situation well. They know that it is necessary to put fans back at the center of the mission, avoiding promises other than being honest and ‘earthly’ in declarations of intent. How many times have I said, written and repeated that in recent years it would have been enough to be frank and credible in statements, without misleading people with unattainable projects and unfulfilled proclamations? Say: Do we need to sell major players? Well, why say otherwise? In the limit better an honorable silence right? Pallotta never understood it in many years, Dan Friedkin understood it in a few days.. Dan says: “We want to win. But we need patience: champions are not built overnight. We promise to work hard, smart and strategically and to commit ourselves one hundred percent. “There is nothing wrong with wanting to win. It is one thing to want to and one thing to promise with verbal fireworks. And in a world where everyone is going to win. The days we deal with unfinished talkers, especially in politics, I like them. much those who simply promise to work hard to revive the gypsy, returning to the judgment of the square but asking for time to show their qualities.
me Friedkin jr is right. when he compares the club to a sleeping giant. I like it. Waiting for that giant’s clay feet to turn to steel. No one expects Rome to scale the world overnight, for crying out loud. The Roma player knows how to wait and enjoy the moment, it is in his DNA. However, he does not tolerate being deceived and made fun of. And he amply demonstrated it to the now-former owner, Jim Pallotta. And in any case, the past is past. Now, as the super optimists say, “Yes We Dan,” we trust those who promise to work hard and without unnecessary hype. So simply.
