Conte never had doubts. He always thought that Lukaku was the right man to make Osimhen not regret it. The Neapolitan coach also agreed to start the championship without the center forward of his dreams so as not to blow up the Belgian team. Lukaku did not betray his “master”. The goal scored against a Roma team that Ranieri is struggling to rebuild at certain levels allows Napoli to remain alone at the top of the table. The Neapolitan team remains a great favorite for the scudetto, also thanks to the advantage of not having distractions related to the Cups. And Lukaku is the locomotive of the Conte group.
If Napoli were one of the great expectations, Fiorentina’s progress is surprising. La Viola achieved their seventh consecutive victory and supported themselves in second place. The strength of Palladino’s team lies in the experience of a champion like De Gea, in the enthusiasm of a group with many players looking for a revival and in Kean’s goals. Moise is one of the great protagonists of the tournament. A star rediscovered. Who knows if Giuntoli and Juve have any regrets about Kean. Thiago Motta today would need a striker like him. Of a real alternative to a nervous Vlahovic. Juve has a month to understand what the priorities of the winter transfer market should be. But to win the scudetto you need at least a couple of starters.
Milan, on the other hand, is a case. Ibra reclaims his role as Boss. All right.
It is therefore normal that he is primarily responsible for what doesn’t work. The 0-0 against Juve was a disheartening spectacle. Fonseca the Boss’s first wrong choice. He brought no identity, he has no ideas and against the Bianconeri he also demonstrated that he has no courage. A scared coach is a big problem in a locker room which, among other things, has few prominent personalities. It’s endearing, or annoying, to hear Fonseca talk about the scudetto. Already conquering the Champions League zone, with this scenario, would be a feat. Ibra admits his mistakes and at least tries to find some remedies in the winter transfer window.
The Goddess, on the other hand, can speak loudly about the championship. Gasperini’s team also passed the Parma exam with momentum. Not a walk in the park, Retegui and Lookman confirm that they are a fantastic couple. I know I’m touching on a complicated issue but I think Atalanta has to make a choice. Which? Stable if this season the priority is to cultivate the championship dream or try to go as far as possible in the Champions League. Gasp has an important squad but not enough to support two objectives of this level. The Dea world should ask itself when there will ever be such a bottom-up balanced championship. In short, never before has the title had a surprise winner like this time.
However, Inter remains the favorite. Simone Inzaghi has rediscovered his magic touch. He suggests Correa in the treacherous away match in Verona and the response is goals and lots of magic. When a coach knows how to fish like this in his team group then the level rises because the rotations allow the big players to take a breather.
