Sensational at the Olimpico: Cremonese wins 2-1 (Dessers from a penalty, Celik's own goal and Belotti's goal when everything was useless by now) and eliminates Roma from the Italian Cup. Mourinho's team seen in Naples, protagonist of a good and unfortunate performance, disappears at the Olimpico and Ballardini's team goes to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup , who will face Fiorentina in April. On the cold Capitoline evening, once again sold out, the Giallorossi show their worst face and play a long, if not always, unwatchable game, losing against a team that has never won in the league yet and is last in the standings.
In the Cup, on the other hand, Cremonese is traveling at full speed and after Napoli, eliminated on penalties at Maradona, they make another excellent victim . It will be that the controversies over Zaniolo have certainly not calmed the environment, it will be that, as Mourinho says, the Giallorossi squad is probably not equipped to face three competitions, and in fact the coach, almost wanting to prove it, sends promising young players onto the field, such as Tahirovic and Volpato, maybe not ready yet .
If we add to this the errors of Kumbulla, dazed to the point of deserving a substitution at the end of the first half, and of Celik, a fish out of water, it emerges that Cremo's is a well-deserved success , perhaps to dedicate to memory of who of this team was primarily a great fan, Gianluca Vialli.
