Luck is blind and not Slovak, unfortunately for Ciccio Calzona who deserved to beat Roma and surprisingly get back into the running for a Champions League place. Bad luck, on the other hand, sees clearly and on this occasion was favored by the errors in front of goal by Osimhen, Anguissa, Kvara and Politano, as well as by the interventions – truly prodigious – of Mile Svilar, since January, without a doubt the best goalkeeper – in terms of performance and impact on results – in Serie A.
Napoli thus did not get what they wanted and needed so much. On the contrary, Roma can and must make the point suffice, which is very precious. When there is just a month left until the end of the championship, judgments on the teams’ performances certainly have a relative value, because whatever good or bad has been done is done: only the points collected, the profit, the progress count. in the rankings. Which today, in terms of the Champions League, still reward Juve, Bologna and Roma (all three did not go beyond a draw over the weekend). However, Atalanta is rising from behind with Gasperinian arrogance and must recover the match against Fiorentina: with this very clogged calendar and the teams in question super busy in the cups, the first available date identified by the League is Christmas Eve 2024. However, I do not rule out that it could be brought forward to November 2nd. In compliance with the regularity of the tournament. For weeks I have been laughing thinking about what could happen from August onwards if it becomes necessary to postpone one or more meetings.
I can add little else about Napoli-Roma, except that De Rossi continues to perform miracles with a group whose key players (Dybala, Pellegrini, El Shaarawy, Lukaku and Paredes, the last two absent at Maradona) are struggling to cope not only mentally with the double commitment. However, the least lucid seems to be Renato “Ossessione” Sanches, whose foul on Kvara which led to the 2-1 penalty will be re-proposed and carefully analyzed during the “Quarto gradino” broadcast. See you next Friday on Rete 4.
PS. The away matches in Salerno and Lecce, the direct clash with Roma in Bergamo and the last one at home against Toro. Plus Fiorentina when the god of the League wants it. That’s why Gasperson is doing it fear even for children.
