Roma’s victory over Lazio represents enormous satisfaction for Ranieriwhich in the most important and probably most difficult match of the year revived one of its most important players. Pellegrini’s story is a beautiful one, and for the rest of Roma’s championship, finding him again is almost like having Dybala at his best. I have to scale back my judgments on Lazio: when you get this high you must never lose humility and intensity.
Roma, Pellegrini and Ranieri, a conversation is the secret of victory in the derby

Ranieri knew how to strike the right chords
But Ranieri deserves things to go well for him at Roma: there were all the ingredients to risk failure, but he was perfect in trying to stimulate the right chords. Now Roma will have to move up the rankings, and to do this there is no point – for the moment – in talking about the new coach. The only thing necessary is that, whoever is chosen, he is on the same wavelength with Ranieri.

Juventus’ psychological weakness
From a positive note I move on to a painful one: Juventus. In my opinion, the fact that he faces a very affordable AC Milan and helps them solve their problems is serious. Thiago Motta’s team also plays well, but then something always happens that puts them in difficulty. It is not a coincidence, but a symptom of technical-tactical, and above all psychological, weakness. There are phases of the match in which the Bianconeri suffer from everyone, whether it’s a big team or the bottom of the table. Some time ago I wrote that if I had been in Vlahovic I would have asked to leave. Today I confirm it more than ever. I remember Wenger’s Arsenal, that of Henry, Pires, Bergkamp, it was the best team before Guardiola’s Barcelona. They played without a central striker, but took turns taking up that space.
Vlahovic necessary, Thiago Motta should explain why he always takes it away
Juve can’t do this: without Vlahovic no one knows how to go and take up that space, and once the Serbian was replaced it was clear. So I really don’t understand the substitutions, and it would be nice if Thiago Motta held a seminar and explained the real reasons. The most banal answer could be that he doesn’t see it at all…
Juventus, Thiago Motta is in the corner: the market can revive him

Gasperini was right to snub the Super Cup
I think all the best about Atalanta, even more so after the defeat to Inter in the Super Cup semi-final. Rather than a few million more, it is better to increase technical and tactical certainties that can help fight for the championship in the future. Gasperini probably had them by fielding new players for the match in Riyadh. Furthermore, the team returned to Bergamo 4 days earlier, so they can train with peace of mind. In short, not all evils have a silver lining.
Fiorentina-Napoli 0-3: Conte leaders, the Azzurri do not forgive the Viola’s mistakes
by Marco Azzi
Fiorentina too reckless for a perfect Napoli
Speaking of fighting for the championship, when Napoli finds a team that gives them space and attacks without criteria they become deadly. Fiorentina could already concede 4 goals against Juve, and against a team as willing as Conte’s they had no chance. Napoli must be faced with humility, also because you have to give them the goal without expecting kind concessions.
