Dybala and El Shaarawy Lead Roma to Victory Against Genoa
Roma secured a crucial 3-1 victory over Genoa in Serie A, with Paulo Dybala and Stephan El Shaarawy playing pivotal roles. The win marks a significant improvement for the Giallorossi under manager Claudio Ranieri.
Dybala, who nearly scored early with a free kick that hit the woodwork, praised the team’s performance and El Shaarawy’s impact. “Genoa is a tough team to score against, but we maintained our intensity. El Shaarawy’s introduction brought more sharpness to our left-side attacks,” Dybala said in a post-match interview.
When asked about his future with Roma, Dybala remained focused on the present, stating, “Our future is the next match on Thursday. We need to rest and prepare for an important game.”
El Shaarawy, celebrating his 300th appearance for Roma, came on as a substitute and changed the game with a curling shot from outside the box. He expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance but cautioned that there’s still work to be done.
“We came out hungry in the second half and managed to turn the game around,” El Shaarawy commented. “While things have certainly improved under Mr. Ranieri, we all know that Roma shouldn’t be in 10th place. We’re determined to climb as high as possible in the standings.”
The victory demonstrates Roma’s resurgence under Ranieri’s leadership, with both Dybala and El Shaarawy emerging as key figures in the team’s recent success. As they prepare for their upcoming Europa League match against AZ Alkmaar, Roma will look to build on this momentum and continue their climb up the Serie A table.
