TO Maracanain the afternoon of TMW Radioit’s time for the former footballer Massimo Orlando.
Inter-Juve, was it Yildiz’s consecration?
“He’s calm, but he’s very strong. He’s a player you can see, he has unique qualities at that age. He always jumps the man, he’s physical, he uses both feet well, a complete player. It seems to me that his head is right Going in at 4-2 in Milan and your head isn’t right you’re hardly pampered, but the feeling is that you’re destined to become a champion.”
What didn’t you like about Inter?
“Four goals conceded is a lot, Inzaghi was very angry and he’s right. You should have ended it at 4-2, but last year Inter had an impenetrable or almost impenetrable defense, but today it’s not working. The goals conceded at the start of the season are too many”.
Is Lautaro missing?
“He’s missing a lot, also because the defensive phase starts from the attack and last year Lautaro pressed everything and everyone and then started again. He’s in difficulty. I think the Copa America and not having done the preparation are paying for him.”
Naples, first escape:
“He has the best coach, he only plays once a week, he’s struggling but then he brings home the matches. And this means a lot. Now comes the triptych where he can also afford a few missteps, but this is a big advantage. Napoli can make mistakes but the others can’t.”
Can Atalanta dream big?
“It started badly, but if they make a big splash in Naples they’ll get three points. He has a long and quality squad, he has to think about the Scudetto. In my opinion, they’ll give it a little thought.”
Balotelli is back, this time at Genoa. What do you think?
“If he arrives motivated and is physically well, also as a sort of revenge for not being wanted in Serie A. He’s 34 years old, he’s a player who can still have his say. Genoa are in a dramatic situation, but if Balotelli arrives with the right head he can drag his teammates along. It’s a last chance, I hope he can do well.”
Has Fiorentina found its way?
“It could be a loose cannon. At the beginning we didn’t understand why he continued with the three-man defense and with a midfield without ideas. Kean has been playing like this for nine games, he’s the strongest player you could get. Fiorentina have found the right fit , there’s enthusiasm, it’s Fiorentina who are playing well now, not that the others aren’t doing well.”
Who emerged best from the Italian Derby?
“Juve came out better, the match was lost, Inter had a lot of balls to close it out and Juve proved once again that they can bring home the result. It’s a point that is very good for Juve but bad for Inter , who now feels more vulnerable.”
