April 6 celebrates the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, and on the same day, our local football will see the Capital derby between Roma and Lazio, valid for the 31st day of Serie A. These and many other topics were at the heart of the episode of Iceberg, the information container hosted by Patrizia Barsotti broadcast every Friday at 1 pm on Anita TV (channel 88 DTT), made in collaboration with the Askanews press agency.
Guests of the episode were former Roma player Ubaldo Righetti and DAZN commentator and YouTuber Federico Marconi, along with the Sports Editor of TG5 Marco Cherubini. "I'm curious," Righetti declared, "to see how Daniele De Rossi will face his first derby as a coach, having to keep emotions in check. So far, he has proven to be the right choice and I think that, regardless of whether or not they make it into the Champions League, he will continue on the bench of Roma. Moreover, I hope he also finds his first derby victory on Sunday...(laughs)". Continuing with a look at Serie A, Righetti also spoke about the future of Massimiliano Allegri, his former teammate at Pescara: "Unless they send him away, his future is still at Juventus. I don't see him elsewhere, especially not abroad".
Then a comment on the Acerbi-Juan Jesus case: "Racism, in football and beyond, must be tackled seriously and the protective bodies must act with more rigidity, otherwise the phenomenon will not be eradicated. Sport can be a great vehicle for sending important messages, but it must be used correctly. Our mission," he said, "must be to educate people to respect others and not to distance them from the problem". Federico Marconi also looked at the derby: "Usually, it is said that the team that arrives in worse shape is advantaged, but beyond this, I think there will be a spectacle. Both teams, in fact, come with two different coaches compared to the two derbies already played in the season, with ideas significantly different from the past. It could end in a thrilling draw". Speaking of racism, Marconi said: "To combat it, consistency and seriousness are needed. The non-disqualification of Acerbi is not very clear, also because there was no uniformity of judgment with what happened in the past".
