Ticket restrictions for Roma fans for Torino trip

Radio pundits from Rome's influential broadcast network have weighed in on Roma's prospects this season. Roberto Pruzzo and Nando Orsi, speaking on Radio Radio Mattino (104.5), offered contrasting assessments of Gasperini's squad. Pruzzo said: "The squad and coach have formed a working group that functions very well, which is a positive signal. This year Gasperini also has quality alternatives; now we'll see what happens with the congested fixtures." Orsi struck a more ambitious note, stating: "Gasperini knows how to manage multiple competitions. Roma will fight for the Scudetto—they are a squad that can take advantage of slip-ups from Inter and Napoli. The Champions League is a fine reality, but the objective must be winning the championship."

Francesco Totti has backed Roma to challenge for the Serie A title this season, naming Inter as their main rival. Speaking to Rai Sport, the Roma legend said: "Roma and Inter are the candidates for the title, we don't say anything and wait for the rest of the season. Between 10 or 15 matches we'll see." Totti, now an Advisor at Maxima Roma, stressed that his new role is not a reaction to being overlooked elsewhere. "It's not a grudge, but a project that has excited me," he said. "I'm happy because for me sport comes before everything." Totti has long maintained his emotional connection to Roma. "I will never set Roma aside, it is my skin," he said.
