"Stayin' Alive" is a song by the Bee Gees, released in 1977. Interestingly, "Stayin' Alive" has been used in several real-life situations to help people perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). The song's tempo of 103 beats per minute is close to the recommended rate of chest compressions for CPR, which is around 100-120 per minute. The American Heart Association even recommends using "Stayin' Alive" as a guide for performing CPR. Just like a patient in need of CPR, Roma needed to be resuscitated and brought back to life. After suffering back-to-back defeats against Sassuolo and Lazio, AS Roma found themselves in need of a mental revival. The team's confidence had taken a hit, and they were desperate to bounce back. In this episode, we break down Roma's victory over Sampdoria, in which they secured a 3-0 win. Alessandro and Umberto (The Professor) discuss the key moments of the match and analyze Roma's performance, which saw them dominate possession and create numerous chances. We also look at the impact of individual players, including Diego Llorente and Georginio Wijnaldum , who were instrumental in securing the win. Overall, this was a fantastic result for Roma and a real statement of intent as they continue to challenge for a top-four finish in Serie A. So join us as we celebrate their victory with "Stayin' Alive" and look ahead to what the future might hold for our exciting team. Daje Roma!!

"A Bitter Sweet Symphony" is a thought-provoking song from the English alternative rock band The Verve, which was released in 1997. The introspective lyrics of the song explore themes of mortality, self-reflection, and the pursuit of happiness. The chorus of the song is particularly memorable, featuring the line, "I'm a million different people from one day to the next." This season, Roma's journey has been reminiscent of a bitter sweet symphony, with the team oscillating between brilliant performances and absurd disasters, as seen in their recent game against Lazio in the Derby della Capitale. During this episode, we delve into the reasons behind this fluctuating attitude of our players, examining factors such as mentality and stamina, among others. Daje Roma!!

In the first leg of Europa League round of 16 match, Roma emerged victorious against Real Sociedad with a 2-0. El Shaarawy and Kumbulla scored goals, with Matic proving to be the best player on the field. Roma now have an advantage for the return match but must maintain their concentration and awareness to secure their qualification. However, in their recent match against Sassuolo, Roma suffered a defeat, conceding four goals and losing the game. Kumbulla's violent reaction led to a red card for him and a penalty for Sassuolo, worsening the situation for Roma. The absence of important players like Pellegrini and Cristante was felt throughout the game, and injuries and disqualifications left Roma short-handed. The defeat was a setback for Roma's chances of reaching the Champions League, and they need to win direct clashes and maintain a tight defense in upcoming matches, particularly on Sunday against Lazio in the Derby della Capitale. Tomorrow, Roma face another tough battle in Spain and must approach the game with mental freshness and focus to succeed. Daje Roma!!

Supporting Roma is like riding a roller coaster. One day, we're soaring high, and the next, we're plummeting to the ground.
