Roma Open Up the Season on the Road Against Pomigliano (Chiesa Di Totti)

After a dramatic run through the first Champions League qualification round, Roma starts their Serie A season against Pomigliano today.

Corelli's professional career amounts to only 17 appearances in a Roma shirt, but she's a few months shy of her 19th birthday, and her potential remains as vast as ever. With strength, speed, and technique for days, Corelli can conceivably play anywhere along the frontline, though as we outlined last year, she really is a player that thrives on the ball, so her future may remain on the flanks. [Fiorentina](https://www.violanation.com), Roma has little room for error in the season's opening weeks, which makes today's opener against Pomigliano more critical than it appears on the surface. [Champions League](https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league) last week, the women of Roma are riding high. With the defense taking a particular toll during those two matches, we may see heavy rotation along the backline as Elisa Bartoli, Moeka Minami, Elena Linari, and Lucia Di Guglielmo each played 210 minutes in Glasgow. After enduring 120 minutes of deadlocked football, the Giallorosse edged out the Parisiens in a penalty shootout, largely thanks to the heroics of goalkeeper Camelia Ceasar, who made a crucial save in [Roma's](https://www.chiesaditotti.com) 5-4 PK victory.
