Two things are certain since Daniele De Rossi took over from Jose Mourinho: AS Roma are winning all their winnable matches and and Roma is scoring goals. When the famous Portuguese got sacked and was replaced by former Roma captain, De Rossi changed the formation and decided to go on the attack, which is not against logic, considering a pretty nice number of offensive minded players in the squad. The result is only one defeat in the last six matches (Inter 4-2) and 14 goals in those games. Tonight, it was Frosinone with former Roma coach Di Francesco at the helm who received three goals and were defeated easily, as Giallorossi moved to four points below the Champions League spot.
In a not so interesting game without many chances, the guests took a surprising lead from Juventus loaned defender Dean Huijsen, who smashed a great volley from the edge of the box in the 38th minute. The Dutch defender was brought in January by Jose Mourinho, and less than two weeks ago, he scored a goal at Olimpico after coming off the bench to triumph over Cagliari. Tonight, with a new goal, he announced a new victory for Roma, and t happened to be their second consecutive away win in a long time. Just a few minutes before Huijsen‘s masterpiece, Frosinone could have taken the lead. Kaio Jorge, another Juventus player on loan, had a chance after a crowd in the opponent’s penalty area, but from five meters he sent the ball just wide of the post. Until the end, the home team didn’t even have a good chance. Roma played much more confidently in defense and closed all the paths to their goal, and the victory was confirmed in the 71st minute by Sardar Azmun from a set-piece. The final goal was scored by Paredes from the penalty kick ten minutes from time.SERIE AFridayTorino – Lecce 2-0 (0-0)/Bellanova 50, Zapata 81/Inter – Salernitana 4-0 (3-0)/Thuram 17, Martinez 19, Dumfries 40, Arnautovic 90/SaturdayNapoli – Genoa 1-1 (0-0)/Ngonge 90 – Frendrup 47/Verona – Juventus 2-2 (1-0)/Folorunsho 11, Noslin 52 – Vlahovic 28 pen, Rabiot 56/Atalanta – Sassuolo 3-0 (1-0)/Pasalic 22, Koopmeiners 58, Bakker 75/SundayLazio – Bologna 1-2 (1-1)/Isaksen 18 – El Azzozi 39, Zirkzee 78/Udinese – Cagliari 1-1 (1-1)/Zemura 14 – Gaetano 44/Empoli – Fiorentina (0-1)/Niang 56(p) – Beltran 29/Frosinone – Roma 3-0 (1-0)/Huijsen 38, Azmoun 71, Paredes 81(p)/
