Napoli-Sassuolo in the field
After the great successes that certify (Napoli and Inter) or promise (Milan) the passage to the second round of the Champions League, a Serie A is back troubled by the crazy stabbing suffered by the Monza player Pablo Mari ‘, who will remain in the pits for two months.
Today a round begins that is treacherous especially for the Rossoneri, who have to visit a Turin that seems to be back competitive after a long anonymity. Napoli continues its irresistible series of successes looking for the 13 / o in a row with the Sassuolo of the goalscorer Frattesi, who cannot yet recover Berardi.
Inter want to continue their winning streak and say goodbye to one of their heroes of the treble, Stankovic, who landed on the Sampdoria bench with a beneagurante victory. The path of Juventus is decidedly more slippery, after the debacle in the Champions League, it needs to continue its run-up at least in Serie A, at Lecce, perhaps focusing on those young people who impressed well in the final minutes of Lisbon.
Lazio is constantly on the rise, which Sarri is leading to an exciting performance even without a building, and which hosts Salernitana. After the embarrassing surrender against Lazio, Atalanta is looking for a relaunch at Empoli with the handicap of having lost a column like De Roon through injury. Mourinho’s wavering Roma, before the central challenge with Ludogorets and Lazio, tries to resume his run at Verona which comes from six consecutive defeats. After two knockouts in a row, which slowed down a real march, Udinese tries to restart at Cremonese’s home. For Alvini it is the last resort: another knockout would sanction his exemption. Always precarious the situation of Fiorentina that fails to prove that it is worth more than its modest ranking: a new opportunity for the Italian, to grab a victory that escapes from four rounds (beneagurante the double in Conference by Jovic), is the away match from Empoli.
After the chilling attack suffered by Pablo Mari ‘(the stabber was then blocked by the former Inter player Tarantino) Monza, in shock, had asked not to play the postponement on Monday with Bologna that Thiago Motta is transforming with the advancement of Medel and the trust placed in many of Mihajlovic’s benches. A request to which Bologna himself had opposed, and in any case the League decided to have the match played regularly on Monday. Spalletti tries in vain to chloroform the too many praises that celebrate his Napoli champagne, capable of 46 goals this season (like PSG, two less than Bayern and one less than Man City). Simeone, Raspadori and Politano are not the reserves of the owners Lozano, Osimhen and Kvara, but also in the other roles the quality emerges, the game enchants and there is the imprint of a master like Spalletti who so far has not reaped what he has well sown. in career. Air of a new show at Maradona, against a Sassuolo who is also counting on Lauriente’s verve ‘and on Ferrari’s return to defense.
Tonali and Leao are the arm and the mind of the bold Milan that chases the Neapolitans and, before earning the Champions League round of 16 with Salzburg, will find pitfalls in Turin against a growing team that has unlocked itself by winning in Udine. From Barella to Mikhtaryan, from Dzeko to Lukaku’s return: there are many happy notes for Inzaghi’s Inter looking for the fourth en plein against Sampdoria, which left the last place in the standings. Inzaghi seems to have passed the critical phase that had questioned his future, unlike Allegri who is increasingly on the grill. The unconditional surrender in the Champions League tells of a Juve with many elements at the end of the cycle, even if the recoveries of Pogba and Chiesa could accelerate the relaunch. For now we need three points, even ‘short-nosed’, with Baroni’s Lecce who hasn’t won for five rounds and coexists with the mystery Umtiti, the French world champion who had to relaunch himself in Puglia but who is used occasionally.
