Falsini’s team remarkably plays at ‘Di Bartolomei,’ however, with the intention not to interrupt the home team’s pre-match workout on the neighboring field, they have refrained from playing their anthem: a regular practice when the home team is training.

In this first Saturday of November, Trigoria has become the epicenter of Roma more than ever. For Juric’s team, it’s a day of fine-tuning ahead of a pivotal match at Verona; a match crucial to the rankings and morale of the players and the supporters alike. A crucial training session for the Croatian coach who must select the starting lineup and check the condition of some players, first and foremost Dovbyk. However, Roma-Cesena of the Primavera championship is also being played on the adjacent field: the Tre Fontane is in fact currently unusable due to maintenance on the grass, hence the move to ‘Di Bartolomei’. With fans, naturally, in the stands. At first, rumors had circulated that the fans were asked to keep a lower tone, and were somehow specifically requested not to play the national anthem. In fact, when several events coincide in Trigoria, it has long been an established practice that the pre-match anthem for the yellow-red team isn’t played so as not to disturb the work of the first team.
