'RADIO PENSIERI', TORRI: "Gasp penserà a fare male all'Inter più che a coprirsi"

Gianluca Mancini pulled over his car at the exit of Roma's Trigoria training centre to take selfies and chat with supporters, in a moment captured on video and shared on Instagram by the account 'Calciatori per sbaglio'. A group of children chased after his vehicle, managed to get his attention, and the defender spent time posing for photographs with all of them before driving away. The informal encounter shows a lighter side of professional football, where a brief interaction between a player and young fans can become a meaningful moment for those involved.

Sixteen Roma supporters have been issued Daspo (stadium bans) following Roman salutes performed in the Curva Sud during the Roma-Atalanta match on 16 September 2026. Some of those involved wore shirts bearing the phrase "über alles". The bans will prevent the individuals from entering sports facilities, with lengths ranging from one to five years and validity across the entire national territory. The targeted supporters, aged between 19 and 42, have already been reported to judicial authorities for violation of the Mancino law. Their cases were investigated by the Prati Police Commissariat and the Digos. Several of the banned individuals had prior police records for offences including carrying weapons, threats, damage, brawling and smuggling. These histories influenced the varying lengths of their bans. Four Roma fans from the group face aggravated Daspo orders with additional prescriptions requiring them to report to police stations during Roma matches, in the hours before and after kick-off and during the fixture itself. One supporter received the maximum five-year ban; since 2022 he had already been subject to a previous stadium access ban. Rome's Questura stated: "The swiftness of the Rome police's administrative and criminal response confirms a strategy of strict rigour, designed to censure through activation of every legal instrument any conduct incompatible with the values of sport as a moment of aggregation and national culture." The force added that, continuing policies from previous seasons, it will pursue "every initiative aimed at facilitating and easing the livability of sports facilities" in compliance with regulations and coexistence among rival supporter groups.

Mattia Guaglianone, a 16-year-old left-footed attacking midfielder, is emerging as a bright prospect in Roma's Primavera programme. His contract expired in summer, but Roma sporting staff D'Amico and Margiotta retained him on a two-year deal, turning away interest from Ajax and Bayern Munich. He has made an immediate positive impact in the Under-20 setup, though his development project is only beginning. The Stadio Olimpico will be in full voice on Saturday when Roma face Inter. More than 65,000 tickets have already been sold, boosted by a full away section after away fans from Fiorentina and Atalanta recently boycotted their fixtures at the ground. The fixture represents the latest major attendance draw for the club this season, with the away support particularly notable after recent sparse visiting allocations.
