Derby Roma-Lazio, Abraham: numbers and records in Serie A

His 9 goals are the top in 2022. He is at 23 (the Aeroplanino and the Argentine stopped at 21), another 2 and will become the Roma player with the most goals in his first year in the Giallorossi. “Happy for the result and a double, too bad for the third, usually I’m not wrong from there”

The signs were clear from the beginning of 2022, so much so that with 9 goals he is the one who has scored the most in Serie A since January. The derby was just yet another confirmation. Tammy Abraham, in addition to being a mobile, technical, powerful center forward, is also an area man. The numbers say it, before the movements. He scores in every way and most importantly, he scores heavy goals. He is the man who opens the games, he is a modern center forward who attacks the area, but when he comes out he knows what to do.

The derby is his consecration, because not only did he score two rapacious goals, but he gave sides, duels, recoveries. The perfect leader’s manual. Technical, and emotional. Because on several occasions he has incited the South, already charged with him, waving and encouraging the screams from the heart of the Giallorossi cheer. Numerically, we haven’t seen a first season like this for a long time and the impact on the matches is even more decisive. Not to mention that Roma don’t always play like they do tonight and it’s not easy for a striker. He came from another football and another team dimension: 8 months later he took Roma for good. On the most awaited day. Now the signs are no longer clues. They are certainties.

record numbers

The Roma center forward is very, very strong, and with tonight’s double (the fastest in the history of the capital’s derby) he reached 23 goals this season. He passed Montella and Batistuta, in the first year, right in front of Vincenzo, who was at the stadium, and is only one goal away from Volk. In summary: two more goals and Tammy will become the Roma player with the most goals in the first year in the Giallorossi. A record that perhaps not even he expected. Other numbers to remember: Abraham has now scored 15 goals this Serie A, equaling his record in a single league (15 with Chelsea 19/20). Since early 2022, only Lewandowski (12) has scored more goals in the top 5 European leagues. Finally, Abraham is the first Roma player to score a brace in a derby since January 2015, since the time of Totti. He too in the stands.

regret

“I am happy and full of joy for this result and the brace,” said Abraham in the 90th minute. Too bad only for that mistake under the South that could have given him a wonderful hat-trick: “I’m disappointed not to have scored that goal. From there I’m generally not wrong. We won anyway and I scored two goals at home, in the end I’m happy” . And to prove it he leaves the Olimpico, after the interviews, with a Roma flag in his hand. And he gets yet another round of applause.
