Daniele De Rossi Seeks Redemption Against Roma, Pays Tribute to Dybala Daniele De Rossi, now coaching Genoa, expressed a strong desire for redemption ahead of his team’s match against Roma on Sunday. The former Roma star, who suffered a 3-1 defeat at the Olimpico in December, previewed the game during a press conference on Friday. The encounter marks a significant moment for De Rossi, as it pits him against his former club, with both sides vying for a crucial victory. During the press conference, De Rossi acknowledged the emotional weight of the game, stating, “On Sunday, there will be many people I care about, and I’ll want to hug.” He also sent a message to Paulo Dybala, who is currently sidelined due to knee surgery. “I send a hug to Dybala, but Roma are very strong even without him,” De Rossi said, referencing the Argentine’s absence. Dybala underwent arthroscopic surgery and is expected to miss nearly two months of action, including the Finalissima against Spain. De Rossi reflected on his relationship with Dybala, noting, “I hug him as I did when he became a father.” This sentiment highlights the personal connection between the two players, despite their current roles on opposite sides of the match. The Genoa coach also addressed the team’s injury concerns, mentioning that Sebastian Otoa and Brooke Norton-Cuffy remain in doubt for the game. “The positive news is that they’re doing much better, and we have great confidence regarding all the injured players,” he said. Baldanzi, another key player, is unlikely to feature, but De Rossi expressed hope for his return. “We’ve lost him, but I don’t think for very long,” he added, emphasizing the team’s resilience. The Genoa coach also criticized his team’s performance in the previous meeting against Roma, calling it “our worst match since I’ve been here.#genoa #roma #daniele_de_rossi #paulo_dybala #finalissima

Champions League Pressure Mounts as Roma Visit Genoa Roma’s pursuit of Champions League qualification has become increasingly precarious as the club faces a crucial match against Genoa on March 8, 2026. A 3–3 draw with Juventus in the previous round left the Giallorossi clinging to fourth place in the Serie A table, with the top-four race tightening as the season enters its final stretch. With Como already securing points earlier in the round and the margin for error shrinking, Roma must navigate this high-stakes encounter carefully. A draw could be enough to maintain their position, but the pressure to secure a win looms large, as their Champions League fate hinges on this and subsequent matches. The matchup against Genoa appears favorable on paper. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side has historically dominated the league’s lower half, and Roma’s recent 3–1 victory over Genoa this season suggests a strong advantage. However, the reality of Serie A’s spring football complicates matters. Desperation often transforms matches into battles for survival, and Genoa, now managed by Daniele De Rossi, finds itself in a precarious position. Sitting three points above the relegation zone, the Grifone must fight for every point, especially at home, where they have shown recent competitiveness. This context elevates the stakes for both teams, as Roma’s Champions League hopes and Genoa’s survival bid collide. For Roma, the challenge is twofold. The team’s attacking options have been severely limited by injuries, with key strikers Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson sidelined for the remainder of the season. Ferguson’s ankle injury required surgery, while Dovbyk’s long-term absence has left Roma without two of their primary scorers during the most critical phase of the campaign.#gian_piero_gasperini #genoa #roma #daniele_de_rossi #lorenzo_venturino

Genoa vs Roma - Prediction, Team News, Lineups Genoa and Roma will clash in a crucial Serie A match as both teams fight for a top-four finish and Champions League qualification. Roma, currently positioned just above sixth-place Juventus, aim to maintain their lead in the race for European football, while Genoa, a team in danger of relegation, seek to secure their Serie A survival. The match at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris on Sunday will pit two managers with deep ties to the clubs—Daniele De Rossi, who previously coached Roma, and Gian Piero Gasperini, who previously managed Genoa—against each other. Roma’s recent performance has been mixed, with a notable setback in their last encounter against Juventus. Despite taking an early two-goal lead, the Giallorossi conceded twice in the final stages of the match, resulting in a draw. This outcome kept them ahead of Juve, but the loss of key players like Paulo Dybala, Evan Ferguson, and Artem Dovbyk has limited their attacking options. Donyell Malen, the Dutch forward, has emerged as the team’s main striker, scoring six league goals since joining in January and earning Serie A’s Player of the Month award. Genoa, meanwhile, have shown resilience at home, picking up four points from their last two matches against Roma. Their most recent victory over the capital club came in September 2023, and they drew 1-1 a year later, marking De Rossi’s final game as Roma’s manager. Now tasked with keeping Genoa in Serie A, De Rossi faces a challenge as the club has won only one of their last five matches. Despite this, Genoa’s home form remains strong, with three consecutive wins in their last four games at the Ferraris, including a 4-1 victory over Roma in 2023. The match carries historical significance for both teams.#genoa #roma #stadio_comunale_luigi_ferraris #daniele_de_rossi #gian_piero_gasperini

"Doesn't Have Many Wickets...": Ex-Cricketer Points Out India's Jasprit Bumrah Dependence Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has criticized the team’s overreliance on Jasprit Bumrah during the T20 World Cup semifinal against England, warning that the bowler’s performance will be critical to India’s success. Pathan highlighted concerns about the lack of consistent contributions from other bowlers, emphasizing that the team cannot afford a poor showing from Bumrah. Star spinner Varun Chakravarthy has been India’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament, claiming 12 scalps in seven matches at an economy rate of 7.66. However, Pathan noted that Chakravarthy has faced challenges as batters have adapted to his bowling by moving deep inside their crease, making it difficult for him to maintain his effectiveness. “Batters are standing deeper in the crease against Varun to play the cut and pull,” Pathan said. “When he tries to bowl full, they use their feet against him and hit straight.” Pathan urged Chakravarthy to focus on his natural length, arguing that forcing him to bowl short could undermine his performance. “Don’t ask him to bowl short,” he advised. “Let him bowl at his natural length. The key is to hit the top of the stumps from the first ball.” Axar Patel, another key bowler, has been praised for his economy but has struggled to take wickets. Pathan acknowledged Patel’s role in containing runs but pointed out the lack of impact in terms of dismissals. “Axar does his job but doesn’t have many wickets,” he said. The former cricketer also raised concerns about the team’s bowling strategy, noting that Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh have been targeted in the death overs. “If Bumrah has an off-day, India’s bowling will be under pressure,” Pathan warned.#t20_world_cup #jasprit_bumrah #varun_chakravarthy #axar_patel #irfan_pathan

Exclusive: Irfan Pathan predicts T20 World Cup final winner; calls Bumrah 'inhuman' India and New Zealand are set to face each other in the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The match, scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM IST, will be watched by over 130,000 fans, making it the largest crowd for a cricket final in history. Ahead of the clash, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan shared his insights on the pressure of the World Cup final, Suryakumar Yadav’s leadership, Jasprit Bumrah’s impact, and New Zealand’s potential threat. Pathan emphasized the immense pressure of playing in a World Cup final, noting that the stakes are higher than in regular matches. “There is a lot of pressure. It’s so much pressure,” he said. “Winning the World Cup final is a big thing, a huge thing. There are so many things that can go wrong, and that is why not many teams have won the World Cup back-to-back.” He highlighted the unique challenges of T20 cricket, where even strong teams can be closely contested. “This format allows the other team to come very close to a strong side. That generally happens.” Pathan praised Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy, calling it “outstanding” and underappreciated. “His record as a captain has been wonderful,” he said. “He has close to a 90 percent win rate when he has captained the side. That is not easy in T20 cricket.” He noted Yadav’s ability to remain calm under pressure and his efforts to engage players off the field, including involving those not in the playing XI. “He keeps the team active on social media and ensures everyone feels part of the squad,” Pathan added. Despite India’s strength, Pathan warned that New Zealand poses a significant threat.#new_zealand #jasprit_bumrah #sur_yakumar_yadav #narendra_modi_stadium #irfan_pathan
