Kieron Bowie Targets Roma Goal in Verona’s Final 90 Minutes

Kieron Bowie is already looking at Roma. After Verona’s draw with Inter, the Hellas Verona striker said he wants to score again in the final round, when the season is decided over the last 90 minutes and Verona’s result helps determine who finishes fourth.

Bowie’s Roma focus

“Let’s focus on Roma, and I’m thinking about scoring another goal.” Bowie said that after the draw against Inter, where he spoke at a press conference and revisited how he has arrived at this point in the season.

He also added, “Maybe I should have arrived earlier?” and then followed with, “Football is like that.” The forward tied that thought to his route from Scotland, saying, “I did well in the first half in Scotland, and that brought me here.”

Bentegodi on Sunday evening

Roma go to the Bentegodi on Sunday evening at 8:45 PM for the last league match, and Hellas Verona are the final hurdle they must get past to qualify for the Champions League next season. The final 90 minutes of the season will decide who finishes fourth.

Bowie’s place in that picture is straightforward. He has a four-year contract, has not thought about Serie B yet, and said, “Would it be a step backwards to go to Serie B? I don’t know what will happen, but I have a four-year contract.”

Verona and Roma stakes

The pressure sits on both sides, but the path is narrowest for Roma because Verona are the obstacle between them and the Champions League. Bowie’s comments make the closing match more than a routine finale for Paolo Sammarco’s team; it is now part of the fight that will settle fourth place.

He did not dress up the situation. “I’m disappointed with how things went, but I gave my all and I’m happy to have helped the team.” That line leaves the match in place where Verona need it: one last game, one last chance, and one striker still thinking about the next finish he wants to make.
