After taking the seat of his boyhood club in January, coach Daniele De Rossi is on a honeymoon and it looks like it will be a long one. Everything looks perfect so far, the team responded well to the coaching changes, the new tactics has been slowly implemented, Roma is playing attacking football again and the fans already accepted De Rossi, and why not, he was their beloved captain a few years ago. On the other hand, the schedule has also worked for the interim coach because since his arrival, Giallorossi played against Verona (17th place), Salernitana (20th) and Cagliari tonight (18). Tonight, they dealt with Cagliari with ease, winning 4-0 in a game which was basically over after 25 minutes.Not only Roma is playing well, but their opponent tonight happened to be a team with the worst away record in Serie A. Cagliari recorded their ninth defeat away from home (worst with Verona) and are one of only three teams not to record at least one away win. And came to the Eternal city tonight and allowed two goals in the space of 25 minutes, after which they didn‘t have the strength to fight back. This was also Roma‘s second most convincing win in Serie A this season, since they destroyed Empoli 7-0 in September. Their third most convincing win was also against Cagliari, but away, 4-1 in October 2023.After four months they finally managed to score four goals but it could have easily been one or two more. After only sixty seconds it was 1-0. Dybala corner was flicked by Lapadula and then Pellegrini turned in from point-blank range. Just minutes afterwards, Cristante hit the post after a cross from the new boy Angelino, who started the match in the first 11. The second goal was a thing of beauty, as El Shaarawy nutmeged a defender, Pellegrini passed the ball, Lukaku saw Dybala coming behind him and didn‘t touch the ball, which the Argentinian smashed for 2-0. The visitors had only one real chance, when Lapadula took a great shot but Rui Patricio was there to beats it away. Paolo Dybala scored a brace from the penalty kick in the 51st minute, before 18-year old Dutch Dean Huijsen, who came on loan from Juventus scored the last goal in this match. Until the end Cagliari was trying not to concede more goals as Roma continued to attack until the very end.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 23FridayLecce – Fiorentina 3-2 (1-0)/Oudin 17, Piccoli 90, Dorgu 90+2 – Mandragora 50, Beltran 67/SaturdayEmpoli – Genoa 0-0Udinese- Monza 0-0Frosinone – AC Milan 2-3 (1-1)/Soule 24, Mazzitelli 65 – Giroud 17, Gabbia 72, Jovic 81/Bologna – Sassuolo 4-2 (1-2)/Viti (og) 24, Fabian 73, Ferguson 83, Saelemaekers 86 – Thorsverdt 13, Volpato 34/SundayTorino – Salernitana 0-0Napoli – Verona 2-1 (0-0)/Dawidowicz 79 og, Khvicha 87 – Coppola 72/Atalanta – Lazio 3-1 (2-0)/Pasalic 16, De Ketelaere 43 pen, 76 – Immobile 84 pen/Inter – Juventus 1-0 (1-0)/Gatti 37 og/MondayRoma – Cagliari 4-0 (2-0)/Pellegrini 2, Dybala 23, 51 pen, Hujisen 59/
