Motta’s Juve (with a shot in the bag…), Zirkzee’s Milan, Inter without a points record (but with something better), Conte’s Napoli, the future of Como. And one thing about Pairetto

There was a slip of the tongue by Cambiaso, the Juventus defender. He stuff that happens. He made it clear that with Allegri “it was nice”. After all, we are talking about Pulcinella’s secret. Juve will end up in the hands of Thiago Motta at the express request of Giuntoli. There are those who regarding this thing – and to continue their Allegrian crusade – have already started attacking the Juventus manager, guilty of… well, I don’t even know what. The truth is that the Bianconeri, rightly, will try to renew by moving from a different idea of ​​football and from a few but very functional reinforcements on the market. A great midfielder, Calafiori (express request from the future coach), makes more “intensive” use of Yildiz and also of Soulé, a possible returner. It is not a solution capable of guaranteeing results, but an attempt should be made and it seems quite intelligent.
And Allegri? He won’t struggle to find another bench. “Immediately?”. Immediately…

And, speaking of benches, let’s proceed with the count of the “DeLa coaches” between Naples and Bari. Naples: Calzona took the place of Mazzarri, who took the place of Garcia, who took the place of Spalletti. Bari: Fede Giampaolo (brother of…) took the place of Iachini, who took the place of Marino, who took the place of Mignani. In total there are 7 seasonal coaches on the payroll for the De Laurentiis family who this year have understood little about “technical guides”, but certainly deserve the knighthood at work for their fight against unemployment.
Next technician employed by Aurelio? Conte remains the first choice but only if he accepts within a couple of weeks, vice versa, everything is possible, even that we have to return to the second paragraph of this article.

The good Pioli will all be played out between tomorrow and Monday, everyone wrote so. He says the precise: “You don’t judge a coach for just two games.” And it’s true, but it’s right that weight is given to seasonal results. A Milan that reaches the bottom of the Europa League is a Milan that demonstrates character and ability, a Milan that surrenders to Roma is destined to bring down even the last supporters of the Parma coach.
Pioli is very good, you hear me, but the very bald man here is also convinced that for the good of the coach and that of the Devil the time has come for separation. Imagine what would happen to the first draw of next season. Here, exactly.
In attack the Devil has already targeted Zirkzee, we are not at the stage of signing the contract, for heaven’s sake, but the preference is established and the player has already winked in return. It’s just a matter of finding the right solution from the grain’s point of view, which isn’t simple but isn’t impossible either.

I want to say a few high things.
– One concerns Inzaghi’s Inter. There are those who scoffed at the manager for having missed the chance to break the record for points in Serie A. That’s okay, God forbid. After that the numerical question is as important as an icicle at the North Pole. “So what’s important?”. Well, for example, try to think about the season of this Alessandro Bastoni, a defender by profession. Will this player’s year be remembered for what he did from midfield up or for what he did from midfield down? I believe the first. This thing isn’t worth a record, for goodness sake, but it says a lot about the work done on the pitch by the Nerazzurri coach.
– Pairetto was really good. And, believe me, I thought a sentence like that wouldn’t fit into my synapses, but it really happened that way. The management of the “criticality” of Udine was not at all trivial. He, together with the protagonists of the story, did things right. The spectators did the rest. A situation that could have been dramatic (and luckily ended well) turned into a beautiful page for our much-abused Italian football.
– Watch out for Como, second in Serie B. At the moment it is difficult to establish whether the Hartono family club (Indonesia) will manage to rise to Serie A but, should they do so, they are destined to stay there for a long time. The ownership is solid, rich, wise, patient and doesn’t give a damn about the neighborhood logic of our condominium football. And here I stop.
– There are those who hypothesize tensions for Monday’s derby, the one that could be worth the scudetto. But the truth is that Milan has always set a good example from this point of view. And it’s hard to understand why he should suddenly stop using common sense.

We close with last night’s Champions League matches which go hand in hand with the four from last week. Can these matches appeal to lovers of tactics and “field logic”? Of course not, they all looked like real PlayStation games.
But the point is exactly this: football is moving towards pure entertainment, a series of continuous highlights, a tacit agreement between top-level teams to try not to bore the public who would otherwise… run away.
Is this “real football”? Maybe not (and a bit of “tactical foresight” wouldn’t hurt…), but the process appears irreversible.

And after this umpteenth burst of optimism, I extend cordial greetings.
