Balerdi celebrates Roma’s win: “No better way to start in this incredible stadium.”

Balerdi celebrates Roma’s win: “No better way to start in this incredible stadium.” Twenty minutes. Maybe a little more. That’s all it took for Balerdi to gain the fans’ favor. The Argentine made his Roma debut at the most difficult moment of the match, when the Giallorossi were down 0-1 against Atalanta. Leonardo didn’t falter. On the contrary. He immediately got into the game and dominated the defense. Krstović didn’t concede another goal, and Balerdi allowed the team to maintain a high center of gravity, instilling confidence in a defense that at that moment needed everything but fear. A fairytale debut for a player who came to Rome to be much more than a mere extra. Balerdi wants to be a protagonist. And the first twenty minutes already made it clear that his intentions are serious. On social media, the Argentine then shared the joy of his first appearance: “There’s no better way to start this story than in this incredible stadium. Winning, together with you,” he wrote in a post on Instagram. Ndicka remains the starter, but if Balerdi were to continue with a performance like this, something could change.
