I would be OK with all of that. We know Ramsey has the talent to be a contributor at Juventus. However, the encounters have been competitive in recent years with Juventus winning three of their last six matches while Roma emerged victorious in two. And now the competition level is about to go up a step or two. Definitely coulda been worse. Hirving Lozano scored twice as Napoli swept past coronavirus-hit Genoa while AC Milan continued their winning run without Zlatan Ibrahimovic with a 2-0 victory against promoted Crotone. Meanwhile, Barcelona-bound Miralem Pjanic remains suspended as well. Maybe not in the current iteration with arguably their best player out with another major knee injury, their manager on the hot seat — say, who could be potentially replacing him ... — and yet another squad that seems to be in some sort of transition, but Roma hasn’t exactly been an easy team to beat over the years. You don’t want to get carried away, but it’s hard not to think one simple thing: If Juventus can replicate what they did against Sampdoria again ... then the next few weeks are going to be fun as hell.

If this is the new Ramsey, who is much different than the old Ramsey of last season ... whoa boy. That deal never happened, as we know, with Napoli and Roma failing to agree to a fee for Arkadiusz Milik, the first domino that needed to fall that would have freed Dzeko up to join Juventus. Summary; H2H Comparison; Commentary; Venue Italy Serie A. With Pirlo, there is the kind of optimism about flexibility, about new-ish ideas and just the simple fact that things are already turning for the better — yes, small sample size and all — as the games start to get important.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to salvage a point for 10-man Juventus in a 2-2 draw at Roma as Napoli hammered Genoa 6-0 in Serie A on Sunday. Roma are expecting star midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini to return soon after the Italian international underwent a nose surgery, although the Juventus fixture could be too soon. Definitely coulda been worse. For Roma, Paulo Fonseca will be hoping his captain Edin Dzeko extends his goalscoring form after the Bosnian forward took his league tally to 16 goals against Torino in the last fixture. Ramsey was that good against Sampdoria, and a completely different player as compared to the one that we saw under Sarri outside of a very small handful of games during the 2019-20 season. Not that Sarri’s weren’t, either, but this is a completely different situation with a completely different kind of manager when it comes to experience.

It was a much-welcomed change for the better — not just because Juventus won with room to spare against the kind of team they struggled to beat a season ago, but for the simple fact that Pirlo’s Juventus has a vision and that played out right in front of us.

That’s because Roma, when clicking, are a solid team. The thing with Pirlo being so green as a manager is that his evaluations will be literally done on a week-to-week basis. © Copyright NDTV Convergence Limited 2020.
