Talking about the topics of the day a TMW Radioduring Maracanawas Stefano Impallomenijournalist and former footballer.
There’s a lot of talk about Conte, today Chelsea is knocking again:
“He could revive a team that is doing badly. They have invested a lot but the results haven’t been seen. I don’t know how much he wants to return to London, but Chelsea doesn’t refuse like that. Napoli could be more attractive today. There’s a lot of talk of his character, of his needs, but perhaps he romanticises too much. He certainly wants to know how much a club can guarantee him over the three-year period.”
Should Milan keep Pioli?
“I don’t know if it’s worth changing for the sake of change, but if they have clear ideas and a different project, then it’s fine. But if the alternatives are the ones we read about, like Fonseca, Lopetegui, I think Pioli is the best thing. You have to strengthen your scouting and strengthen the link between technical management and staff. The problem is not technical. For me, Pioli has done almost his best, I understand the fans’ discomfort, I respect him, but Pioli remains a great professional. Something Pioli certainly did wrong, but He did a good job.”
What do you think of De Zerbi?
“He is in the exuberant phase of his career, he still has to contain something from an ideological point of view, find some compromise.”
Roma against Bayer Leverkusen tonight:
“Probably the qualification will be decided here. For me everything is reset. There is the possibility of a treble for the Germans, they don’t have much pressure now but Roma must free themselves and play lightly, with the joy of wanting to express themselves and with practicality “.
Xabi Alonso against De Rossi:
“I see similarities between the two, as the Spaniard said, saying he sees his beginnings in De Rossi. Alonso is the real coach, he’s done an incredible job, he doesn’t have a great team and that says it all.”
Atalanta, what do you have to fear against Marseille?
“Marseille knows how to play dirty games, they play on their opponent’s mistakes and start again. It’s the type of team that Atalanta suffers from. So be careful.”
