A spin with a view of the shield. The 23rd matchday in fact pits the first against the last, a cross that, on paper, shouldn't give surprises or twists. However, the conditional is a must, after all the past teaches us that, more often than not, the sprints for the title were decided on Sundays like this one. Roma will start at the Olimpico against poor Donadoni's Parma (15pm). It would seem like a game without a history especially for what is happening to the ducals, now very close to relegation and more interested in corporate events than in the field. “But in the Coppa Italia they put Juve in difficulty – warned Garcia. – We'll have to be careful and play with concentration, only in this way can the technical gap between us emerge. On the other hand, we have no choice, we need the three points”. Difficult to blame the Giallorossi coach: the 7 lengths of delay from the leaders completely eliminate the margin of error. The moment is then very delicate given that, between now and the next three weeks, Roma will face the round of 4 of the Europa League and the direct clash against Juve in the championship. “I don't want to think about the next matches, only Parma – Garcia reiterated. – Let's think about one game at a time, then in the end we'll do the math." The Giallorossi can finally embrace Gervinho again and welcome Doumbia: the former will already be a starter today, while the latter will start from the bench. However, the "new" absences are heavy: Totti and Maicon are out, not even called up. Garcia's 3-3-XNUMX will thus see Torosidis, Manolas, Yanga Mbiwa and Cole in defense, Nainggolan, De Rossi and Keita in midfield, Gervinho, Ljajic and Florenzi in attack.
The same form also for Donadoni, albeit with decidedly different interpreters: Varela, Palladino and Rodriguez will attempt a feat that seems impossible. The evening will instead be dedicated to Juventus. The bianconeri will visit Cesena, which is also in trouble in the standings but much more alive than Parma. Lazio knows something about it, which two weeks ago left Manuzzi with decidedly broken bones. “It's a complicated field against a difficult opponent – Allegri's analysis. – These three points, however, would be very important, I will not make any turnover. Let's think about Cesena, there's still time for Atalanta and Borussia Dortmund”. The mission, already clarified last week, is to show up at the Olimpico (March 2) while maintaining the current advantage, which is why no missteps are allowed tonight. “Each week that passes there is one less game to play – thought Allegri. – This time we will play after Roma, we could find them there at minus four. We must win". However, the Juventus coach will have to do without the suspended Tevez, a heavy absence given the 14 goals scored so far in the league. Instead of him, Llorente and Morata will play, for once team mates and not competitors for the same shirt. Nothing to do instead for Caceres, still in the pits, while Barzagli is getting better, close to returning to the field (with the match in progress) after 9 months of inactivity. The 4-3-1-2 will therefore see Buffon in goal, Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini and Evra in defense, Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio and Vidal in midfield, Morata and Llorente in attack. Di Carlo will attempt the "mission impossible" with the same game system, in which Brienza will have the task of turning on the points Djuric and Defrel.
