Today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport opens with the afternoon’s big match between Juventus and Napoli that will bring Antonio Conte back to “his” Allianz Stadium against his former opponents for the first time, given that in the two previous matches when he sat on the Inter bench the stadiums were still closed due to Covid restrictions. The Apulian coach challenges Thiago Motta for the first Scudetto match of the year. A remote challenge also between the two “brains” of the team such as Kenan Yildiz and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Torino – Torino goes into overdrive, channels the fifth consecutive useful result in as many games and gives itself a dream night. Vanoli wins and convinces, with the granata who manage to win 3-2 in Verona against a Hellas with 10 men, sending all their forwards to the score: Sanabria, Zapata and Adams. The first place alone had been missing for 47 years.
Derby – There is also great anticipation for Sunday night’s big match between Inter and Milan, despite the two teams’ morale heading into the match being almost diametrically opposed. The Nerazzurri, despite the bad draw against Monza, made up for it against Manchester City in the Champions League and now Inzaghi is hunting for his 7th consecutive victory against the Devil. At home for the Rossoneri, the defeat against Liverpool has put Fonseca back in the hot seat and a possible defeat would already put an end to his experience.
