Cobolli names Totti as his all-time greatest, Roma as best club

Roma's draw against Inter has sparked debate across Rome's radio stations, with commentators divided between disappointment at a missed opportunity and optimism about the team's ability to compete with Serie A's strongest side. The match saw Roma dominate the first half, going 2–0 ahead, before Inter levelled in the second period. Luigi Ferrajolo praised Matías Soulé's performance, highlighting his willingness to sacrifice for the team. Antonio Felici defended Giampiero Gasperini's attacking approach, describing it as "a calculated risk" designed to create numerous goalscoring chances, and praised the team's first-half display: "I felt like I was watching Liverpool under Klopp, with that hunger to eat up the pitch and the match." Felici also noted Roma's improvement in depth compared to last season, though acknowledged they remain a tier below Inter without additional signings. Francesco Balzani struck a more positive note overall despite expressing some disappointment, arguing Roma showed the response he wanted and that last season's squad has been strengthened by additional quality options on the bench. He added: "You need to work on the market, because if you have those two or three more good players on the bench, you can reach Inter's level." Roberto Pruzzo expressed frustration at conceding in such manner after a commanding first half, stating: "A pity because once you're ahead 2–0 you cannot let them come back like this." Lorenzo Pes identified early second-half goals as the key weakness to address, noting Roma's intensity in the opening period was "unequalled in Italy." Piero Torri mentioned the team may be tracking left-back Kvernadze, describing him as an interesting player in a position where Roma lack depth. Nando Orsi warned that repeated early second-half collapses this season require Gasperini's attention. Mario Mattioli offered the most bullish assessment: "The draw against Inter should be seen both as a missed opportunity but also as proof that you can consider yourself on a par with Italy's strongest team, because Roma played an almost perfect match in the first half. Gasperini has a squad in his hands that can fight for top positions until the end."

Radio commentators Piero Torri and Rossomando have offered contrasting takes on Roma's recent performance and transfer priorities. Torri, speaking on Radio Manà Manà, expressed regret over the draw against Inter despite Roma's strong display against the Serie A leaders. He believes Roma are pursuing Kvernadze of Frosinone and welcomed the fact that several players have remained at Trigoria, hoping they will be fit for the upcoming match against Como. Rossomando, also on Radio Manà Manà, disagreed with Torri's assessment of the transfer targets. "Between Kvernadze and Soulé I would keep the Argentine," Rossomando said, backing the current squad member over the external option. He was critical of Bryan Cristante's first-half performance, describing it as poor, and questioned the substitution of Manu Koné, saying he would never have removed him from the pitch.

Former Roma defender Vincent Candela has backed Gian Piero Gasperini's side as genuine Serie A title contenders, naming them as Inter's only realistic threat in the championship race. Speaking on Rai Radio 1's Radio anch'io sport, Candela analysed the direct clash between Roma and Inter, singling out the performances of Paulo Dybala and Manu Koné for particular praise while assessing the wider squad strength at the Stadio Olimpico. Candela said: "Roma and Inter have given us great football, great beauty. They are the two squads playing for the Scudetto. Inter has a broad squad, but with Gasperini they will fight it out to the end. This Roma is a title-winning team; it can give Inter — who are the strongest — problems. Dybala reminds me of the top players from my era. Koné has personality and charisma. I think Roma is the only squad that can battle with Inter. It has a very strong and cohesive group." Candela also turned his attention to the Italian national team, offering a longer-term view of the rebuilding process. He stated: "Italy is a football heritage. I hope it rebuilds its roots, which were lost for a while. Italy has football in its blood. Mancini has the experience. Now it will take some time because we are starting again from the young players."
