È more and moreù Naples-Juventus. The 18th day, even without deciding anything definitive, establishes the hierarchies of a championship fight that seems increasinglyù a deal between the Azzurri and the Bianconeri. The victory of the former against Sampdoria, that of the latter in the direct clash with Roma, put in the defeat of'Inter in Reggio Emilia: the ingredients speak for themselves and make sì that the final dish sees Sarri's team alone in command and Allegri's immediately behind. Behind them, for the first time this season, a "small" empty: only the time dirà if destined to shrink or to grow further, of course forò that the signs of an elopement for two are all there. Napoli confirmed their first place but paradoxically the victory weighs moreù is that of Juve, capable of beating a direct competitor and therefore the author of a success that, as they say, is worth double. L'1-0 over Roma (18' Benatia) confirms Allegri's skill in bringing home prestigious clashes on the edge of the'balance, trouble forò to think it was a boring game without a show. In fact, the result could have taken on decidedly larger dimensionsù pyrotechnics, one way or the other.
The final scoreboard reads several goals (più black and white and yellow and red), a crossbar on each side (Florenzi and Pjanic), a couple of colossal missed opportunities face to face with their respective goalkeepers, the mostù sensational with Schick who could have made it 1-1 in full recovery. In short, at the stadium è staged a super-challenge in perfect European style that honored all'image of our football even before the teams in question. As often happens to win è It was Juventus: a question of mentalityà, attitude and episodes, all fundamental characteristics in building a Scudetto. "We wound up thereò that distinguished us, closing a very important cycle in the best possible way - Allegri's comment. – Unfortunately we weren't able to close the match early and in the final we took a risk, partly because of us and partly because of the greatness of Roma. Woe toò to think that the Scudetto is just a matter between us and Napoli: the giallorossi, l'Inter and Lazio will be there until the end". Congratulations d'therefore an obligation for Di Francesco's team, which forò, despite having tried, he leaves Juventus Turin with l'yet another defeat on the rump: with this one we are 8 in a row, so much so that the Stadium remains a tabù impregnable. "They had a better approach than us and that made the difference – commented the coach. – In the second half, on the other hand, we improved and this must make us very proud, even if we continue to make too many mistakes in the sills".
Who, on the other hand, seems to have definitively solved the goal problem è Napoli, who after the 3 scored in Turin last week s'is also repeated yesterday with Sampdoria. A game full of emotions that of the San Paolo, with the Azzurri down twice (Ramirez from a free-kick el'former Quagliarella on penalty) but able to come back (Allan and Insigne) up to the definitive overtaking of Hamsik, who in one fell swoop signs the primacy in the standings of Napoli and personal (overtaken Maradona, since yesterday è him the best goalscorer of all time). Sarri può così have a splendid Christmas at the top of the league and give l'title assault d'winter: nothing sensational, God forbid, but still a strong and clear signal to all the Scudetto contenders. "This match could have become an impossible mountain to climb, but the boys reacted very well – l'technician analysis. – Now let's go on like thisì, C'is Middle Christmas and I'll pass itò with my family, even if it was up to me I would have done a workout". whyé the desire to celebrate something big surpasses even traditions.
