After scraping to victory over Sampdoria in 2016, then-Roma coach Luciano Spalletti uttered the immortal words: 'Uomini forti, destini forti, uomini deboli, destini deboli. Non c’è altra strada.' This scathing criticism of his players and their lack of character on the pitch translates as: 'Strong men, strong destinies, weak men, weak destinies. There is no other way.'
