Finally it starts again! After the (sad) break for the national teams, it's time to go back to thinking about the championship, ready to get going after the taste of August. It's Inter and Napoli who open the fourth day, one at the San Siro against Parma (15pm), the other at the San Paolo against Fiorentina (18pm). Very different commitments, at least on paper: if D'Aversa's team, which had also managed to put Juventus in difficulty, shouldn't be a major obstacle for Spalletti, Pioli's instead promises to give battle to Ancelotti forced to win , on pain of officially finding yourself in crisis. However, even the Nerazzurri can't be wrong, otherwise the standings could start to get quite complicated. In short, Inter and Napoli must give their all and not think about the upcoming Champions League, otherwise there will be trouble.
"We cannot afford to leave other points on the street – Spalletti warned. - Before thinking about Tottenham, there's a game to win, and convincingly too. We have to play good football, with personality, showing that we have embarked on the journey that must be done to be a strong team. Watch out though, Parma are fast, balance and perfection will be needed." The head to the championship therefore, albeit taking into consideration the imminent commitment with Tottenham. The Nerazzurri coach cannot fail to take this into account, moreover the national teams have given him a bruised Vrsaljko (but he will be there) and then there is always Icardi's convalescence, recovering from a knee problem which should advise against its use from the first minute. With Lautaro Martinez in the pits, the picture is complete, therefore Spalletti will be forced to rotate the men a bit. His 4-2-3-1 will see Handanovic in goal, D'Ambrosio, De Free, Skriniar e Asamoah in defense, Gagliardini and Brozovic in midfield, Politano, Nainggolan and Perisic in the frontline, Keita in attack. D'Aversa will respond with a 4-3-3 with Sepe between the poles, iacoponi, Bruno Alves Gagliolo and Gobbi in the back department, Rigoni, Stulac e Barilla in the midfield, Gervinho, Inglese and Di Gaudio in the offensive trident.
Immediately after the San Siro match, the spotlights will move to San Paolo, where Napoli and Fiorentina will clash for what, on paper, appears to be the most interesting match of the weekend. The Viola have done very well so far, while the Azzurri are returning from the beating of Genoa and they can't afford another misstep: in short, the ingredients for a great match are all there. “We have conceded many goals, we need to increase attention to detail – admitted Ancelotti. – I want the boys not to forget the good done with Sarri, especially in the defensive phase, is a precious asset to keep, even if then, slowly, we will build a more vertical game. We'll have to pay attention to Fiorentina, they have good and dangerous players but we have to focus on what we can do." And then space for the classic 4-3-3 with Ospina in goal, Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly and Mario Rui in defense, Allan, Hamsik and Zielinski in midfield, Callejon, Milik and Insigne in attack. Same game system also for Pioli, who will respond with Dragowski between the poles, Milenkovic, pezzella, Hugo and Biraghi in the back department, Benassi, Veretout and Gerson in the median, Chiesa, Simeone ed Eysseric in the offensive trident.
