Okay, guys, so today I’m gonna talk about this AS Roma vs. US Cremonese match and their player ratings. It’s a bit of a mess, but I’ve been digging into it, and here’s what I found.
First off, I went straight to look up the match info. It’s the Coppa Italia, and the game happened on January 3rd, 2024. You know, the usual, checking the date and time, 20:00 UTC, making sure I got the right match. Turns out, Roma played against Cremonese just once in this cup. So, not a lot of history to go on there.
Then, I started looking into the actual ratings. I saw a headline calling out “La Joya” and “Smalldini” as the standouts in a post-match rating series. Interesting, right? I dug deeper and found out that it was Chris Smalling, the central defender, who scored the only goal in the match. That’s a big deal for a defender!
After that, I wanted to see the lineups, you know, who played and where. Found a list of that, too. I always like to check if there are any surprises in the team selection. This particular match was from Serie A, back on August 22, 2022. Not the same game, but still gives an idea of who’s who.
But here’s where it gets a little wild. Apparently, Cremonese beat Roma 2-1 in a Serie A match on Tuesday night. This was their first Serie A victory since 1996! Can you believe that? A real underdog story. I guess that messed up a lot of predictions.
Checking Out Stats
Next, I started looking at the stats—goals, assists, cards, substitutions. I mean, who doesn’t love those numbers? It’s a great way to see how a game went down without even watching it. Also checked the past head-to-head results. These teams have played three times since 2022. Roma won one, Cremonese won two, and no draws. Cremonese is definitely looking good against Roma, at least recently.
- Match Date and Time: January 3rd, 2024, at 20:00 UTC.
- Key Players: Chris Smalling scored the only goal. “La Joya” and “Smalldini” were highlighted.
- Historical Context: Cremonese had a major upset, winning 2-1 in a Serie A match, their first since 1996.
- Head-to-Head: Roma won 1, Cremonese won 2 out of 3 matches since 2022.
So, yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to today. Trying to make sense of this whole Roma vs. Cremonese thing. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, but that’s football for you. Always expect the unexpected, I guess.
