Winter champion with two days to spare. Juventus also beats Roma and thus continues its unstoppable raceI know the eighth consecutive Scudetto, pace of a Naples who, at least for the moment, can do nothing but watch. The month of December was supposed to be the most difficult for the Lady, but so far only successes have come: and even if Atalanta and Sampdoria were to interrupt the series, Allegri would still retain the winter title, as well as an advantage over Ancelotti's team. The third consecutive 1-0 (the others had arrived with Inter and Turin) fold a good Rome, rose to the Stadium with much more courage than expected but exit without points. To decide the match, once again, a goal by Mandzukic header (35'), a pleasant habit for a Juve that is increasingly linked to the Croatian warrior. To tell the truth, the result is narrow and this regardless of the performance of the Giallorossi: Olsen he kept the boat afloat with five great saves, thus making the defeat less bitter. However, Allegri is of little interest to this, taken as he is by a lust for victories that shows no signs of abating.

“At the moment we haven't won anything yet – he reiterated at the press conference. – We're doing good things both in the league and in the Champions League but what really matters is ending the year with a good lead over Napoli. This was a deserved victory, I liked how the team knew how to suffer. Now let's think about continuing well in the championship, about winning Super Cup and to move forward in the Italian Cup”. Deserved victory, there's no doubt about that, yet Roma didn't disfigure, quite the contrary. The Giallorossi, despite all the limitations of the case, played a good game so much so that this ko, paradoxically, does not affect the position of Di Francis. “The team was good at keeping Juve but we lacked experience and malice – explained the coach. – The difference between us and them lies in the malice in front of goal, but I liked the attitude I saw. In the end you have to put into practice what you build, we have to improve a lot in this ". Juventus unstoppable therefore, but with an opponent who does not give up one centimetre. Naples in fact stay in the wake thanks to the victory over Spal, signed by a header by Albiol (46') and from the saves of a rediscovered Meret.

The goalkeeper, who recently returned after the bad injury sustained in the summer, in fact saved his teammates with two splendid saves between the 91st minute (on Paloschi) and the 93' (up Fares, moreover cwith the help of the pole), giving the blue people a Christmas without regrets. Not getting a full score against Spal would have been unforgivable, even though Semplici's men played it out and created several headaches for Ancelotti. Instead he was able to breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the fifth consecutive victory of his Napoli, who reached 41 points in 17 days: better he had done alone Sarri last year with 42, testifying to a quality standard that has remained substantially unchanged. “I believe there is room for improvement, this team can still grow a lot – Ancelotti retorted. – Important players are returning, we haven't shown 100% yet. I want to congratulate Spal for how he defended, after that he thought about it Meret". It wasn't the best game of his management but it doesn't matter: what matters most, in fact, he arrived on time. The Azzurri's only problem is called Juve and this, unfortunately for them, seems really difficult to solve.
