All or nothing. The title of the Amazon series that is causing so much discussion seems made to present the Saturday of the championship, which will see Inter on the insidious field of Venice (20.45 pm) and, above all, the Champions play-off between Juventus and Atalanta (18)
A very delicate challenge that of Turin, because even if we are only on the 14th day it has all the air of being able to be, if not decisive, very important for the continuation of the season. Even more after the news on theinvestigation by the Guardia di Finanza, which searched the Milan and Turin offices, on the sale of rights to sports performance and the preparation of financial statements for the years 2019-2021. There are six suspects, including the president Andrea Agnelli, the vice president Pavel Nedved and the former head of the sports area Fabio Paratici. The charge is false accounting for the management of capital gains.
Going back to football, it goes without saying that it is the black and whites who play the most, in the light of a ranking which sees them at theeighth place with 4 points of delay on the Goddess, currently fourth and therefore in possession of the last ticket for the Europe that counts. "It won't be decisive but it will certainly be a very difficult match. Congratulations must be paid to Atalanta because they have been achieving important results for years, in the league and in Europe - Allegri's thought -. It's always complicated with them, you need to play well technically and try to win, because then in the next month we'll have the opportunity to gnaw at a few points”.
Indeed, the calendar between now and the Christmas break sees a number of opponents within reach, at least on paper, such as Salernitana, Genoa, Venice, Bologna and Cagliari, but first there is the clash with Gasperini and this, however, does not promise to be easy at all.
After all, everyone has it in their eyes terrible debacle in London, where Juve was literally annihilated by Chelsea, which is why it is legitimate to think that today a reaction of pride must arrive, otherwise qualification in the Champions League would be moved away by as many as 7 points (and here we return to the initial title). “Losing hurts, we made a bad impression but no drama – reiterated Allegri -. The match we had to win was the first leg and we did it, we're in the round of XNUMX and that's what counts. There are knockouts that deserve outbursts, others don't: there is no protocol ".
So the technician doesn't lose his temper and continues his work as a firefighter in which, undeniably, he's very good, but he too knows well that results, in the long run, make the difference and tonight's is decidedly important. We need everyone, starting with that Dybala has been absent for too long and instead considered the man capable of reversing the trend of a disappointing season so far.
Allegri will confirm the now canonical 4-4-2 with Szczesny in goal, Cuadrado, Bonucci, De Ligt and Luca Pellegrini in defense, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot and Chiesa in midfield, Dybala and Morata in attack.
Gasperini, silent yesterday as usual after midweek matches, instead has several training doubts, since he has found almost the entire squad. The game system will be 3-4-1-2 with Musso in goal, Toloi, Palomino and Djimsiti in the back, Zappacosta, De Roon, Freuler and Maehle in the midfield, Pessina behind the offensive duo made up of Zapata and Muriel , even if Pasalic, Ilicic and Malinovskyi are pawing. In the evening however it will be the turn of Inter, who after the victories with Napoli and Shakhtar is looking for another one on the field of Venice. On paper, for obvious technical and economic reasons, the nerazzurri are widely favored, but be careful not to underestimate the lagoons, which have proved quite surprising so far, as demonstrated by the excellent 14th place in the standings. The successes against Roma and Bologna showed the excellent form of Zanetti's men, who at Penzo, in addition to Mourinho's Giallorossi, also managed to beat Fiorentina.
In short, Inter have everything to win and continue their run-up to Napoli and Milan, provided they play with the same quality shown in recent weeks, when they won delicate and hard-fought matches, thus showing that they have rediscovered the quadrature of the past.
Inzaghi, silent yesterday, knows that this can be turning point month, in the light of an affordable calendar (Venice, Spezia, Rome, Cagliari, Salernitana and Turin) and the difficulties of Naples and Milan, struggling, unlike him, with a lot of serious injuries. However, a lot depends on avoiding traps like tonight's one, where Zanetti's team will play with a clear head and with the desire to add an excellent scalp to their collection, which is why we will see some turnover, but without exceeding .
Il 3-5-2 for the nerazzurri it will be made up of Handanovic in goal, Skriniar, Ranocchia and Bastoni in defense, Dumfries, Gagliardini, Brozovic, Calhanoglu and Dimarco in midfield, Dzeko and Correa in attack. Classic 4-3-3 also for Venice, who will attempt the feat with Romero between the posts, Mazzocchi, Caldara, Ceccaroni and Molinaro in the back department, Crnigoj, Ampadu and Busio in the midfield, Aramu, Forte and Okereke in the offensive trident.
