Sarri and company will have to wait to find a place on the bench. Fonseca wins the derby and sweeps the owls off his bench. The laws of the derby are confirmed in this Inter-Milan. Lautaro and his teammates, after a good start to the tournament and after the praise of Guardiola and the City world, should have made a single bite of a dull, confused Milan, in an identity crisis. But in the derby it is often the team in difficulty that comes out on top. Milan won and did not steal anything. Just think that among the Nerazzurri one of the best was the goalkeeper Sommer. Fonseca did not choose to risk proposing a formation oriented towards attack. He was right. And now it is Simone Inzaghi who must manage the first delicate passage of the season. This Inter seems incapable of making the formidable material at its disposal count. The Nerazzurri won the last Scudetto thanks to an overwhelming midfield. A department that today is unable to make the difference. Inter must immediately regain the hunger of last season. And it’s up to Inzaghi to get the team back on the right track.
Roma wins but finds no peace. The surprising dismissal of De Rossi, a symbol for the Giallorossi world, has not been digested by the square. And yesterday Souloukou, the manager wanted by the Friedkin family, also left. Juric spoke of an environment that is going through a complicated moment. He was good at earning three golden points against Udinese but if Roma does not find the compactness of Mou’s times it will be difficult to play a championship as an absolute protagonist. And yet the football material is not bad. On the contrary.
Analyzing the 0-0 between Juve and Napoli, one might say much ado about nothing. But that’s not the case. It’s a draw with two sides. I would say that looking at the Thiago-Vlahovic relationship, the glass in the black and white house is half empty.
In order to justify a less than explosive performance of the Serbian jewel, the finger was pointed at Allegri in the past. Guilty of not embracing an offensive style of football and therefore, by extension, penalizing his striker. But even with Thiago on the bench, Dusan is not great. Of course, the average performance is sufficient but from someone with his potential it would be legitimate to expect more. Of course, we are only at the beginning but Juve needs a different Vlahovic to win the Scudetto. Very different.
I find the Conte-Napoli glass half full. The coach is already the master of his group. He also makes delicate choices, like replacing Kvara and Lukaku, and no one is offended. There is a leader (the coach) and a single shared idea. In addition, new characters in the Neapolitan jersey are emerging. I’m thinking of midfielder Mc Tominay. I don’t know if this Napoli is enough to fight for the Scudetto. But I’m convinced that they are totally in the running to earn a place in the Champions League. And maybe along the way…
This start of the tournament already has two great protagonists on the throne. Unexpected. I’m talking about mister Vanoli who has given back to Toro the thrill of the top spot. It hadn’t happened in a lifetime. And Vanoli has achieved this small feat without having had major investments on the market. I believe that president Cairo must now more than ever decide to make the leap in quality. Toro for its history and for the world it brings with it must remain fixed in Europe. The work of president Coirsi also deserves a ten out of ten. His Empoli is in the top areas of the standings. directors, coaches and players in the Tuscan club. Only him remains, Fabrizio Corso and a team that he has brought to be a model of good football. Congratulations.
