As Roma’s defense was ripped by Napoli as they handed them a shameful defeat at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday in Serie A. This increased problems for Claudio Ranieri who has recently been appointed as the coach of the AS Roma.

Roma started with the game in 5th position. They have an opportunity to move 1 point close to AC Milan who was defeated by Sampdoria on Saturday. However, they were dropped to the 6th position after Atlanta secured a win at Parma and left them behind. It was Arkadiusz Milik who helped Napoli to stay ahead after 2 minutes as he prudently controlled the chipped pass by Simone Verdi with his heels and then rushed past Robin Olsen.

The recent poor run of form coupled with the growing tension between the team and fans is threatening to overshadow Roma’s season. The Italian side have failed to win its last three matches in all competitions and suffered a humiliating defeat in the CoppaItalia.

Czech netted out in the game between Giallorossi and Sampdoria which resulted in a 4-1 victory for the former. As a result of this performance, Roma has been chosen for Serie A as well as for Champions League.

Glasgow's younger side Saint Anthony will be lucky to attract 100 brave souls on a cold, rainy afternoon. But the West Region League Two side added the support of Serie A virgins Roma for their 3-1 win over Johnstone Burgh in McKenna Park on Saturday. To mark Britain's Non-League Day, the club's English-language Twitter account announced that they were "supporting the mighty Saint Anthony's FC".

Manchester City wants to sign him so as to get him out in an Aarom Mooy-like deal. However, there is a lot of interest shown by European heavyweights and it includes Juventus. The talented Arzani came into the scene midway at the A-League campaign last season and his outstanding performances highly impressed Bert van Marwijik who was the Socceroos coach then. This was the main reason which made them include the teenager in Australia’s World Cup squad.

Arzani being the youngest footballer at the World Cup truly impressed people at the tournament, especially when he played against Denmark. These were reasons enough for the Italian club to make him part of their squad. The connection with Roma is indeed an interesting one as Vince Grelle; the agent of Arzani who was the former Socceroo has also been representing Daniel de Silva and is linked to Roma due to some contracts.
