The exterior to Rome had gone from great promise to non -luxury reserve, was whistled, but the Inter coach took something special to us. After 1-0 in Rome, Napoli is backward too
Until the end and Juve has nothing to do with it. Inter with De Vrij drew the derby in the 93 ‘, Napoli was reached from Rome to 92’. It is not over until it is over, the American baseball myth, Yogi Berra said. The leader Napoli was one step away from plus five on Inter, won 1-0 at the Olimpico, but a shot on the flight of Angeliño disappeared Antonio Conte and reported it where he was, more three on Inter second , 54 to 51. Two 1-1 and unchanged situation. Thursday evening, in Florence, Inter will resume the game suspended for the illness that had hit Bove. It will start from 0-0 and arithmetic is elementary: in case of victory, Inter will catch the leaders, 43 to 43.
What happened yesterday could weigh a lot in the Scudetto race. Napoli missed the opportunity for an extension that would not have been definitive, all the more for the less than the chaseer race, but that would have dug a psychological furrow. It would have been the eighth consecutive victory and the badges are won this, with long stripes that produce tears. In Rome Napoli is backward too much, with a very low average center of gravity at 47.2 meters, as reports certify. Almost a law of the counterpoint for his coach. A week ago, Conte had argued with unspecified critical, guilty of simplifying his idea of football with the stale formulette of the Italian game, all defense and counterattack. This is not the case, at least we do not think so, but last night, in the second half against Roma, Napoli protected the goal of advantage much more than the second goal has sought, and was punished. Conte has the right to reject the chain label, because it is not, but it is suggested prudence on accrediting itself as an innovator or modernist. Conte is an excellent tactical and a good strategist, but every now and then it happens to make a few calculation.
The Milan derby
–
The Milan derby is beautiful, especially in the second half, with the furious Inter on the hunt for the draw and the resistant Milan, barricaded in front of Maignan. Inter have reversed the same, if only for the three stoped poles. Milan liked it because it was a team, because she put her soul, because she played with the humility of the disadvantaged. Santiago Gimenez will bring the goals that the attackers have not been able to guarantee in quantity. Tijjani Rejnders has become the best Rossoneri scorer in the championship: 7 goals, one more of Pulisic. An anomaly, Reijnders is a midfielder: Gimenez will correct offensive anemia. In Inter, the debut of the new purchase Nicola Zalesski, on loan from Rome, is good. Entering the place of Dimarco on the left, he did not make him regret, because he pushed and crossed, and he served the 1-1 ball with De Vrij. We must congratulate Simone Inzaghi, because the Inter coach saw something that we humans have not caught in Zaleski. For some time, to Rome, Zaleski had gone from the status of beautiful promise to spare, not even luxury. The Olimpico had reserved for him with the whistles who had embittered him. Inzaghi’s clinical eye aimed it, the Inter coach decided that he was the right boy to replace Buchanan. When they learned about Zaleski, many Inter people curled their nose, but the gaze of a coach is different, goes further.
Juventus
–
The day then tells us about Juve’s victory against Empoli, more suffered than the appearance of the result, a round 4-1 and a little lying. Because Juve went under a goal and only in the second half did he recover and reassemble. And because on 2-1 he reiterated the mistake of lowering that Colombo, center forward of Empoli, went close to 2-2. This year at Juventus, once they are the lead, it almost always happened to retract and suffer the opponent, a mental reflection of attitude that Thiago Motta must correct.
