Good game and wins, Fabio Lopez has brought back the'enthusiasm in the Fassell household

Fabio Lopez has brought back the enthusiasm in the Fassell household, a formation of the Liberian top league that since mid-November has been entrusted to the Roman coach, a true globetrotter not new to exploits of this kind. Having arrived in an uneasy environment due to a series of disappointing results, the former Bangladesh technical commissioner gave a decisive steering: first he fixed the defense, capable of not conceding a goal for three games in a row, and then he engaged the high gears, leading his boys to win three consecutive games, the last of which with a robust 3-0 win against Down Town.

The team has been able to win three consecutive games, the last of which with a robust 3-0 win against Down Town.

In just a few days of league play, the deficit-ridden standings have returned to a smile for the ‘Soccer Missionaries’ as they are nicknamed, who have leapt from eighth to third and are now aiming even higher, on the strength of a newfound defensive solidity and a fluid and brisk maneuvering. Lopez, born in 1973, a Roman with a goalkeeping background, has often been away from Italy: besides at the helm of the Asian national team, with which he participated in the World Cup qualifiers, he has worked in Lithuania, with a couple of top league clubs, in Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia (in the prestigious Al-Ahli), Oman, Vietnam and, most recently, in South Africa.
