Roma closed the seventh day of Serie A with a 2‑0 win over Genoa, thanks to two decisive goals from Santiago Castro and Emanuele Lulli. The match, played at the Olimpico, was an opportunity for rebirth for the Giallorossi team, which had suffered a tough KO in the Champions League against Real Madrid. The absence of key players and the breakdown of Gian Piero Gasperini have opened up space for new protagonists.
Emanuele Lulli, a winger born in 2007 and raised in the Giallorossi youth system, scored his first goal in Serie A. In an interview with Sky, the youngster expressed great happiness, defining the result as "a dream come true". He thanked his teammates and the coach, underlining the importance of continuing to work with the same intensity and not being afraid to face the next challenges. Lulli also highlighted his playing style, based on dribbling and the ability to create one-on-one chances.
Santiago Castro, the Argentine striker born in 2004 and purchased from Bologna in the summer, played a fundamental role in guiding the team after Malen's disqualification. During the match, Castro compared his magic to Lavezzi's goal against Milan, citing the episode of Messi's farewell match. He then praised Lulli, calling him "a dog" for his dedication and constant commitment. The attacker asked Lulli to continue improving, highlighting the collective joy for the team's success.
With the victory, Roma places themselves in a competitive position in the table, while the emerging players have shown that they can contribute significantly to the result. The club will continue to focus on the upcoming matches, aiming to consolidate its position in the table and make the most of the talent of the young players.
