A Gaul who can no longer raise his crest. This is the paradox of Andrea Belotti, who, after having wanted Roma with all of himself during last summer, has not yet managed to show his real value on the pitch. There are only two goals achieved so far – both in the Europa League – but perhaps the biggest regret for the former Torino is that he was unable to take advantage of the no moment of Tammy Abraham, to convince José Mourinho to trust him. Although the Englishman has long been in the crosshairs of the Special One (the hits at the press conference are only the last example), Belotti has never really threatened the number 9 for a starting jersey. And the numbers say it: since his arrival in the capital, the striker has totaled 17 appearances between championship and cup (656′ played). In Serie A, however, there are only 2 appearances since 1′, with the abacus of the goals made still empty. Two goals were scored in the Europa League, where the coach lined him up as a starter on 4 occasions.
NIGHTMARE SPOT – The week of vacation granted by Mou is almost over (tomorrow the team will meet in Trigoria). For Belotti were not easy days to face. The Gallo had to settle the disappointment for the wrong decisive penalty against Toro. A penalty that the attacker wanted to kick just to unlock and send a strong signal, assuming their responsibilities at a crucial moment of the race. Unfortunately for him, the epilogue was not what he hoped for and – of course – the process started among the fans.

TRA DUE FUOCHI – The mistake from the disk – the tenth in his career – has not only sparked the wrath of dozens of Romanists who, on social media, have given Belotti a treatment far from tender. Infuriated were especially the Torino fans who, after seeing their captain leave on a zero parameter and (almost) in silence, felt betrayed again. Even the wife of the footballer had to respond to the comments of those who, on Instagram, accused her of preferring Turin to Rome.
MOCKERY – To make matters worse, he also suffered a muscle injury suffered by the number 11 in the final minutes played last Sunday at the Olimpico, when the player felt an annoyance to the flexor of the left thigh. Belotti will be visited by the Giallorossi medical staff tomorrow, but his presence in Japan, for the tour that starts on Tuesday, does not seem to be in doubt.
