Spalletti is giving Juventus a dignity that seemed compromised. Chivu is a philosopher but the bonuses for Inter are over

Spalletti sends a message, he does it in that low tone of voice: Juventus is also there. An uncomfortable presence for the others, but the most mistreated former coach in the history of the Azzurri is fixing it, he is giving her a dignity that seemed compromised. And in this tiring but deserved victory against Pisa there is the art and craft of Spalletti who, with the right changes in the second half, gave order to a team that was twisting in on itself. All that remains is to continue like this, he has a roadmap that could allow him to scare his rivals and above all to change the minds of those who had already retired Spalletti.

Cristian Chivu calls for more courage from Inter, Allegriless of a philosopher than his young colleague, demands more attention and even malice from him Milan: different attitudes with a common denominator, clarity of ideas which is a good starting point for closing the year in a dignified way. Of course, the Inter coach knows that his team must exercise judgment starting today Atalanta. The first to be aware that all the bonuses granted by the Giro d’Italia del balloon have now expired is Chivu himself. The one with Atalanta is already a direct clash, if not to the standings, then certainly to the heart of Inter’s problem which cannot afford further setbacks. The right mentality, knowing how to react, awareness of one’s own strengths, building an adequate dimension, in short, all this useful repertoire for forming a championship team is acquired by defending a result, an advantage, perhaps consolidating it, fighting for every ball, keeping measures and preserving the spaces gained.

Chivu, a trained coach who has already shown that he deserves Inter, erasing any regrets for Sheikh Inzaghi, must grow on the pitch, on the bench, equalizing levels and standards after the match where, in terms of reflections and words, he is more original and interesting than more experienced colleagues.
Max Allegri has a different task, a more treacherous one if we want, that of bringing his team to maximum attention, in short he is tired of leaving precious points on the street: he dreams of trips to the cinema, with Cremonese, Pisa and Sassuolo at night as horror films. You feel like taking off your jacket and screaming. He wants a more composed, serious Milan, capable of going to the Champions League and winking at the Scudetto. You never know…
