The journalist and former footballer Stefano Impallomeni to TMW Radioduring Maracanahad his say on the issues of the day.
Genoa’s blow to Parma:
“Well done Gilardino, in a very difficult situation. This team has spirit, Gilardino doesn’t deserve to live in this situation. We talked about Roma, this is how problems are solved, things are separated and the coach intervenes to do it. You have to know how to isolate yourself and the coach must be clear-headed, take note of the situation and move forward. Gilardino is good, the team has spirit and knows how to stay on the pitch.”
The difference with what happens at Roma can be seen:
“We need to get out of here. Everyone knows that Roma needs a manager, that’s enough, we need to focus on the mistakes and move forward.”
We will move forward with Juric anyway:
“I think he’s good but he’s inadequate, given the environment he’s created and his character. It’s a difficult situation to control. If you find yourself in this vortex, how do you react? This seems like news to me anyway. The important thing is that there is a sense of responsibility, trying to get out of this crisis, floating in a mediocre situation. Roma’s crisis is something unimaginable, and every week it will be in the foreground if they don’t win.
Atalanta, this is the best start in terms of the standings for Gasperini:
“Usually Atalanta gets going in March, where they change pace. It depends on the working methodology. They have an excellent staff, the awareness of the group has grown and the new ones have integrated well. And then there are many certainties. Despite the emergency in defense, they have grown a lot. It seems like a team to be respected. It can be a protagonist all the way, why not?”.
Inter, Arsenal and Napoli important stages:
“We will see the rotations that Inzaghi will make, he must understand which players can disturb Napoli and choose accordingly. With Arsenal you have to play as a team, so we will see what choices he will make also looking at Napoli. I don’t know how much energy expenditure this will cause Arsenal”.
Milan, today the match against Real Madrid. Morata and Leao to attempt the feat:
“In the end Leao plays. It’s good that he’s playing against a Real Madrid team that still has to find the balance. Fonseca sees him as intermittent in Leao, disconnected from the rest of the team. For me he’s getting stuck, talent must always be respected, even when it’s intermittent. You can’t ignore even a talent like him, you have a moral obligation to recover a talent like him.”
What do you expect from Juventus in the Champions League?
“While in Lazio there is a definition of roles, Juve still lacks it. You still have to understand who the starters are in different roles. In this movement by Motta, in my opinion he is doing an ambitious, courageous, even dangerous job. And he is doing with several players who are not from Juventus, he has only made mistakes in the last few games, where you can’t make mistakes.”
