Who goes up
Daniel Maldini
Against Bologna, he looked like a shadow of his former self; his final impact three days later at the Olimpico was nothing short of explosive. Here he is again, in fine form. He immediately leveled up with the players he was playing against. Every time he received the ball (or went for it, as in the move later completed by Mendy), he always gave the impression he could force the Giallorossi through. His fifth goal didn't bring any points this time, but it was incredibly valuable mentally. An hour or so on the bench has revitalized him and given him a boost, just in time for next Sunday's match against Lazio, the last team he played for before arriving on the island.
Who's coming down?
Adam Obert
The truth is, if he makes a mistake, he makes more noise, so much so that he's raised the bar in recent years. He wasn't exactly flawless against Roma, let's put it that way. After all, he was the one who took the corner that prompted Pisilli to reach out and thus cause the penalty. He, too, recovered the ball and then passed it to Maldini with a delightful vertical pass to make it 2-2. The downside was the ease with which Lulli outplayed him for the first Giallorossi goal, heading the ball almost unchallenged. Perhaps because the dynamic was the same—exactly the same—as Kolo Muani's equalizer against Juventus.
