Roma continues its remarkable run in Serie A, securing a historic 9th consecutive victory in the league. Rudi Garcia, the former Lille coach, has been instrumental in Roma’s success and is establishing himself as one of the best managerial moves of the transfer window in Italy.
In the match against Udinese, despite missing key players like Totti and the injured Gervinho, Roma faced a challenging task. The difficulty increased when Maicon was shown a red card 25 minutes from time, reducing Roma to 10 men. The game seemed to be heading towards a goalless draw until Garcia made a decisive move by bringing in Michael Bradley. The American midfielder delivered for Roma, scoring 10 minutes from the end and securing a hard-fought victory.
The defensive solidity of Roma, anchored by a standout performance from Mehdi Benatia, played a crucial role in the team’s success. Benatia, the Moroccan defender, not only contributed to Roma’s defensive resilience but also thwarted several dangerous actions from Udinese. The victory not only extends Roma’s winning streak but also marks a historic achievement in Serie A.
