Championship, Serie A: Napoli runs with Milik, Roma chase in Florence

In the sign of Milik. Napoli continues to fly thanks to the Polish bomber, who has now become the new idol of the San Paolo. The memory of Higuain is increasingly blurred and this is thanks to the 6 goals scored between the championship and the cup, all of which were decisive. Even yesterday, although Sarri had preferred Gabbiadini to him, he managed to impose himself on the stage with a very heavy brace, the second in just 4 days. “It's useless to make comparisons with Higuain, he has to go his own way and continue like this – glossed over the blue coach. – It wasn't an easy match, we managed to keep an already beaten opponent alive. Then, fortunately, in the final we did well again and we won". Indeed, that of Napoli was a two-faced match. Well in the first half, closed in the lead thanks to the usual Callejon (14'), much less in the second half, where Bologna managed to get up again with Verdi (56'). At that point Sarri, in defiance of the turnover logic, dusted off Milik from the bench and the Pole thanked him with a splendid brace (67 'and 78'), thus giving his teammates 3 points. 
 
Napoli thus reaches 12 points, momentarily +5 over Spalletti's Roma. That this evening (20.45 pm) they will face off on the difficult field in Florence against Paulo Sousa's Viola, for a match that promises to be full of goals and entertainment. It is clear that the Giallorossi, at least on paper, are favorites but with them you never know. The latest results (a daring 3-2 against Sampdoria and a draw against Viktoria Plzen) demonstrate that continuity is still far away, hence the concern of an environment that is always on the edge, both for better and for worse. And then there is the matter relating to Totti, as usual the catalyst for all possible and imaginable attention. “You use it to split Roma – thundered Spalletti. – He continues to make a fundamental contribution but nobody recognizes the merits of the team and this has been happening since last year. We have to think about Fiorentina, not about these things. It will be a very difficult match, a real big match”. The coach is well aware that a positive result would cheer everything up and will try to get it with a 4-3-3 that will see Szczesny in goal, Florenzi, Manolas, De Rossi (Vermaelen is unavailable) and Bruno Peres in defence, Nainggolan, Paredes and Strootman in midfield, Salah, Dzeko and Perotti in attack. Paulo Sousa, back from a gray draw in Thessaloniki, will try to stop his opponents with a 3-4-2-1 with Tatarusanu between the posts, Tomovic, Gonzalo Rodriguez and Astori in the back, Tello, Sanchez, Badelj and Milic in the midfield, Borja Valero and Ilicic in the trocar behind the lone striker Kalinic.
