They command Milan, Rome, Lazio and Turin. Saturday's results, obviously combined with those of Friday, mean that there are as many as four teams with 7 points, waiting for Florence and Naples make their moves in today's postponement. In the meantime, however, the first news begins to appear, namely a Devil victorious over Bologna (2-0, goals from Leao and Giroud) and one Juve again stopped on the draw, this time from Mourinho's Giallorossi. The 1-1 at the Stadium (free-kick by Vlahovic after 2' and equalizer by Abraham, with an assist from Dybala, in the 69') confirms the Lady's difficulties in winning, despite a performance (especially in the first half) much higher than that of Genoa. But in football, you know, if you don't take risks and that's what happened, given that Roma, for long stretches on the ropes, managed to resist and then strike at the right moment, even risking winning in the final. For Milan, on the other hand, it was a quiet evening, just as expected: the victory over Bologna is worth overtaking Inter and a nice +2 on the Signora, as well as applause for Leao and De Ketelaere, undoubtedly the most awaited men and capable of responding with goals and assists already in the first half.
Fiorentina-Naples (20.45 pm, Dazn): Spalletti dreams of supremacy and CR7
All attention thus shifts to the Franchi, the scene of a match that promises to be ebalanced and spectacular. There are two teams facing each other with different objectives, but able to face each other essentially on equal terms in direct matches, as demonstrated by the precedents of last season, which saw Spalletti prevail in Florence and the Italian take revenge in Naples twice (once in the Coppa Italia , the other in the championship).
They could weigh on the challengeand the European labors of the Viola, returning from the victorious home battle against Twente on Thursday, unless they turn out to be precious psychophysical energies instead. The ingredients for a spectacular match are all there, yet on the eve there was very little talk about the pitch: the transfer market was "fault", having reached its hottest phase, which literally overwhelmed Napoli with front-page news. Cristiano Ronaldo, determined to leave Manchester, has offered to come and the Azzurri, under the direction of the powerful agent Jorge Mendes, are toying with the idea of a sensational operation that also involves Osimhen. De Laurentiis asked for 130 million for the Nigerian plus a heavy contribution from the British on the signing of CR7, which is why, at the moment, the deal is crystallized, but the feeling is that something is seriously in the pot, as confirmed by the Spalletti's non-denial.
Spalletti ignores “CR7? I would gladly train him, but I'm realistic…”
“I want to see which coach would give up this opportunity, something to talk about for a lifetime – admitted the blue coach -. But if one goes beyond journalistic speculation, as the Osimhen prosecutor also said, there is no negotiation. I haven't heard anything from De Laurentiis, so I try to remain realistic: I find it hard that such a thing can be done a few days after the transfer market closes. Then we need to hear Giuntoli and the various operators, but from what I know there is nothing concrete”.
Tough business, which is obvious given the countless joints to be made, but not impossible, otherwise Spalletti would have closed the door without too much delay. In the next few hours, for obvious reasons (the transfer market closes on Thursday), we will know more, but in the meantime, however, there is a very delicate match in Florence and Napoli, after the soft exams with Verona and Monza, are called to reveal the its exact size.
Fiorentina-Naples, the formations
Both the coaches play with the 4-3-3, but above all they love to attack the opponent: the elements for a spectacular match are all there, also because the squads, net of the transfer market, are almost complete. Spalletti he will confirm the formations already seen in the previous days, therefore Meret in goal, Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim and Mario Rui in defense, Lobotka, Anguissa and Zielinski in midfield, Lozano, Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia in attack. Turnover instead for Italian, who should change several players compared to the match against Twente, relying on Gollini between the posts, Dodò, Milenkovic, Martinez Quarta and Biraghi in the back department, Duncan, Mandragora and Bonaventura in the midfield, Ikoné, Jovic and Sottil in the offensive trident.
