Nello Scavo says Francesco Totti helped him get fuel in Ukraine

Source: Forza Roma

Avvenire correspondent Nello Scavo has revealed that Francesco Totti helped him secure fuel in Ukraine during the war. Speaking on the Jeantoneria podcast, the journalist said that fuel was one of the biggest problems in the conflict, with supplies not reaching Ukraine and reporters needing to travel to the front.

Scavo said his team had been going from petrol station to petrol station pleading for help. At one station, which had diesel but could not sell it to them, the attendant asked which team they supported and whether they knew Totti. Scavo said he did, recalling that he had been a correspondent in Rome during the Scudetto year and had once met Totti on Fazio's show. That, he said, changed everything.

"He filled us up and gave us a 50-litre canister of fuel. When I meet him, I will thank him in person. Baggio worked too, and the next one I'll try is Del Piero."

Aldair praises Hermoso for giving Roma solidity

Mario Hermoso produced another top-level display in Roma's win over Slovan Bratislava, neutralising the Slovak side's attacking threat while also posing danger in the opposition box, and he scored in the match. Aldair, the Roma legend, lavished praise on the Spaniard on Instagram. Aldair said Hermoso's performances often go almost unnoticed because he has accustomed everyone to a very high standard. As a defender himself, Aldair said he especially values the solidity Hermoso brings to Roma, describing the self-assurance that only great players can pass on to the whole team. Aldair said: "Le sue prestazioni passano quasi inosservate perché ci ha abituati a un livello altissimo. Da difensore, apprezzo tanto la solidità che ha dato alla Roma. Quella sicurezza che solo i grandi giocatori sanno trasmettere a tutta la squadra. E poi la grinta, la cattiveria agonistica con cui lotta su ogni pallone. Bravo Mario, continua così." English translation: "His performances almost go unnoticed because he has accustomed us to a very high level. As a defender, I really appreciate the solidity he has given Roma. That confidence that only great players know how to transmit to the whole team. And then the grit, the competitive aggression with which he fights for every ball. Well done Mario, keep it up."

D'Amico says Roma will back the coach with resources in January

Roma sporting director Tony D'Amico spoke to Sky Sport ahead of the Roma–Slovan Bratislava Champions League match, reflecting on a dramatic game in which Roma conceded late and lost two points. He said: "7 minutes particular, without breathing. But football is this, the Champions League is a difficult competition. But the 80 spectacular minutes the team played remain in the eyes. In all the matches we analyse all aspects, and I believe that in that game the negative aspect is the points. We experienced a great evening." D'Amico also praised the recent win over Genoa, which featured many young players, as a sign of continuity. He said: "Yes, it was a nice evening. The coach is a master on this, regardless of the age of the players. The Genoa match came three days after the Real game. We know we can count on a decent squad." Looking ahead to the winter, D'Amico said: "January is very far away. Now we are concentrating on ourselves, then in January we will put in our maximum effort to make resources available to the coach."
