Roma: The Path to the Third Scudetto (1983 - 2001)

Roma won their third Scudetto in one of the hardest seasons in the history of the Italian league. But, their path to glory was even harder.
Different sets of managers with different sets of philosophies. Doping cases, courts, and conspiracies. A club legend in distress. A youth Primavera product emerging.
This mini football documentary will try to tackle the whole story of Roma's third Scudetto by starting in the Giallorossi's golden era where they achieved their second league title in 1983.

I was 7yo at that time, my dad was watching the game on tv when the commentator announced a teenager stepping on the court, saying - pay attention of this kid, he's special. And I got interested, and remembered the name. From that day I started becoming a fan of Roma and Totti of course, and they brought me so much happiness. Greetings from Serbia.

[@damianotommassi3378]

I love, live, and breathe Roma my whole life. Even though i'm not from Rome...not even from Italy. Never even been to Rome. But maybe... just because of that, it' super emotional for me... insanely almost. Several times during this video i've had to pause coz i started crying.... it was too emotional. Man.... Roma... i know every fan can say that for his club but... in Roma's case it's true... ROMA IS MORE THAN JUST A CLUB. It's a tragic love story... it's a fanatical devotion... and sometimes... most beautifull dream.. To be frank.. i don't know why i choose Roma.. i know it was somewhere around 1998... when i was a kid in a post war Croatia.... and today.. that love is even stronger... but not nearly as strong as it will be tommorow. Excellent job Mr. 👏👏👏👏

[@harderway8568]

Man same thing, tho I started loving them since I was 7, in '92. Till this day I barely met anyone who likes Roma, people always choose Milan, Juve, Liverpool, Real...Big clubs. But Roma's something else, always an underdog, without a real budget, but with great tradition and a strong fanbase, hardly win trophies but often upset strong teams like Juve, Barca...This scudeto season I remember particularly well, was lucky enough to watch all the games. Totti brought me so much joy and happiness, unfortunately, they never found the way to keep Cassano, Cafu and other great players. Greetings from Serbia to you, hopefully, we'll see Roma shine again.

[@EASTBAY_NORCAL]

2000-2003 Roma had a competitive team with great leaders Totti,Batistuta,Emerson,tomassi,Samuel, I feel bad for Totti such a prolific player deserved more titles

[@enricodellamonica5145]

i really don't get the reason why your videos don't have at least 100k views. Maybe there's something wrong in KZbin suggestiion system. By the way, keep up with new material. Your videos are super interesting. In the long run, you will get what you deserve.

[@Kamau1865]

The quality of these videos is very high, and professional. I thought they were official productions from some kind of major sports media company like Sky Sports. The video production is seamless and the content thoroughly well researched and presented.I have no doubt of the quality of the videos stays this high this channel will get the viewers it deserves very quickly. I'd love to see some videos on fallen giants of the English game (like Man City not too long ago being in the third tier of English football, the same scenario with Leeds, Sunderland, Newcastle, Villa, Sheffield Wednesday, Forest. So many huge clubs have fallen, some former European champions, and declined and not yet have all recovered, they are still toiling.

[@ejazkhanahmed908]

Awesome video creation! - really enjoyed the episode. My story is, a big Roma fan since 2003/4, been painfully watching them and sometimes expecting too much from them, some very high moments and a lot of low moments but over the years there has been some bad luck, poor refereeing decisions and of course like most modern Roma teams there is that mental breakdown and poor performances. I've seen them runners up way too many times!!

[@thewildformosanformosan]

Great video, can you do a similar one for Lazio as well? Their 90s team with the attacking trio of Signori-Casiraghi-Boksic was so entertaining and underrated, and for some reason no one seems to be talking about them nowadays

[@parisp2583]

at the end of the 90s they had nesta, nedved, vieri, mancini, etc. wonderful players

[@qanadaheadlongs2618]

I remember that season well, as a Juve fan I was frustrated at Ancelotti and van der Sar for bottling our scudetto chances. It was 3 consecutive trophyless seasons at the time and it was beginning to become unbearable. With hindsight I'm glad Roma won it, deservingly too. Best attack in the league, a phenomenally well drilled team with standout performers like Candela, Cafu, Totti, Emerson, Montella and of course Batigol. I am glad I got to witness that, it's certainly more exciting than seeing Juventus win 9 years in a row or Inter 5 in a row. It's good that Roma fans get something to celebrate too.
