The journalist and former footballer Stefano Impallomeni spoke to Maracanain the afternoon of TMW Radio.
To whom do you dedicate your first thought of the day?
“A lot of uncertainty ahead but praise for Motta and Juventus. Genoa are in a critical situation, but in the second half they uncorked the situation. They know where they want to go and the 0 goals conceded factor is a very important fact.”
Naples leaders:
“We know Conte, he intercepted the depression, the difficulties, he had a great influence on the market and before the last blows we were worried. Instead, solid people arrived. But watch out for Kvarastkhelia, who is the second time he has gone out like that and we remember what Conte did with Lautaro is on purpose to stimulate him, he is the real champion, he has put the plug on a good team, watch out for Inter but the motivations of Juve and Napoli are there different, be careful. If Motta plays Motta, who is more of a coach than a thinker, he can go all the way. In Genoa he starts with the 4-3-3 but then goes with the 4-2-3-1, it means that if being a coach is serious trouble for the others. Six games without conceding a goal has never happened in the 3-point era and it is a sensational fact. Inter with a derby lost and not only are they there and Milan are the variable crazy.”
Lazio, victory against Torino: what do you think?
“It’s confirmation that there can be a surprise, there’s availability, desire, a coach who knows how to make people play football. The secret is the two mobile strikers, in the middle of the pitch it’s another thing. There’s desire to win Tavares is not a surprise, and we are only at 35%.”
Bad Roma, who risks but wins against Venezia:
“The desperation changes the match, seeing as they were down. Venezia had nailed the match and the strategy, then the experience and quality emerged. I saw one of the worst Roma in recent seasons, it confirms to me that I’m struggling to understand this team. Much worse than with Empoli, which then cost De Rossi his dismissal. I saw a team in difficulty, it seems to me that there is a rejection crisis a lot and media on this, so it preserves itself and such bad games come out. It’s as if this team suddenly lowers all the high standards it has. Yesterday it looked like Cagliari, a team in crisis but in reality it isn’t.”
Is Roma’s real problem Juric, talking about the formation?
“Playing in these conditions is unsustainable. The fans don’t want him anymore, the stadium boos him regardless. I don’t know how long the situation can improve. On the technical side, he’s an excellent player, the numbers say so, but people don’t they recognize him as a captain and a strong player. I wonder: Fonseca made him play, Mourinho wanted 3, he goes to the national team, Juric and De Rossi see him as a starter, are they all crazy? It makes me laugh that all the blame is his. He has to make a move, this is also true, but the whole team has to move.”
