The Curva Sud's response in the most difficult moment—without words, only strides—taught the squad that in unfavorable moments you raise your energy, not lower it.

1. Radio Roma Sound, broadcast on 90 FM, opens with a long prose-poem editorial by host Sandro dedicated to AS Roma's travelling supporter culture, invoking decades of away trips across Italy. 2. Host Sandro delivers the editorial accompanied by co-host Maurizio Martinelli, with additional callers and audio messages from listeners throughout the show. 3. The episode's opening monologue functions as a tribute to the culture of Roma ultras and travelling supporters, framing the fan experience as a form of love that asks nothing in return. 4. Sandro recalls the specific experience of following Roma to Modena, where a police cordon forced eight fans to cut through three private villas—startling a family watching television—to reach their cars before the final whistle. 5. The monologue includes an extended list of named deceased Roma ultras and supporters: Paolo Siroli, Andrea Vitone, Sister Luisa, Stefano Invortino, Luca, Fabrizio, Nicola, Andrea Mangraviti, Stefano De Amicis and his son Cristian, and many others. 6. Sandro cites the cultural inheritance of Roma fandom through figures named explicitly as Falcao, Totti, and Daniele (De Rossi), described as 'the Romanism we will tell our children.' 7. The show then addresses a TAR administrative court ruling on travel bans: appeals by Fiorentina, Napoli, and Lazio fans were rejected, but Roma fans' appeal was partially accepted—only for those living in Lazio provinces outside Rome city. 8. Hosts Sandro and Maurizio characterize the partial ruling as 'even more scandalous,' arguing it creates two classes of Roma fans based purely on provincial residence and violates the 'tutti o nessuno' (all or none) principle they championed in opposing the tessera del tifoso. 9. Listener messages and calls debate the practical implications: a fan in Fiumicino (a separate municipality but part of Rome province) cannot attend away games, while one in Viterbo or Latina province can, despite similar travel distances. 10. Sandro argues that criminal responsibility is personal—that individual wrongdoers should be punished individually—and that collective bans based on city of residence are inherently discriminatory. 11. The hosts shift to Roma-Cremonese, assigning the match a 'difficulty coefficient of 7 to 7.5 out of 10,' consistent with how they rated earlier difficult home fixtures against Verona and Pisa. 12. Possible lineup configurations are debated: Malen, Pellegrini, and Saragosa are named as probable starters, with Robinho Vaz as a potential option despite doubts about his readiness and future at the club. 13. Journalist Ugo Trani is cited as the source for a claim of an 'internal war in Trigoria' between Roma's medical staff and club consultants over the rehabilitation timelines of Paulo Dybala and Evan Ferguson. 14. Gasperini is said to have been ironic in press conferences about the medical team's conservative approach to Ferguson's recovery, with the implication that management pressures influenced rehabilitation decisions. 15. Robinho Vaz is described as a '99% certain departure' and a 'spring player' paid 25 million euros who will leave on loan, with hosts noting he did nothing notable against Atletico and Lodigiani. 16. The show discusses the newspaper Corriere dello Sport's headline claiming Roma and manager Roberto Mancini are close to signing a contract through 2029 with an option extending to 2030. 17. Former Roma player Francesco Totti is mentioned in connection with reports that he was offered a role running Roma's youth sector—Sandro says he would want Totti 'shoulder to shoulder' with the first team rather than in an academy role. 18. The show runs as a morning radio program with a rapid, conversational format: listeners call in, audio messages are read, and the hosts engage in frequent banter and mild argument. 19. The episode suits AS Roma fans who follow the club's away-fan rights debates, injury news, and the broader sociological conversation about supporter culture in Italian football. 20. Those unfamiliar with Italian football politics, Serie A team dynamics, or the ultra culture will find the episode's references dense and difficult to follow without significant background.
