All in search of Rome. The escape for victory restarts from Turin, where tonight (20.45 pm) Garcia's Giallorossi will face Ventura's grenade. The pressure is on, because by now everyone is waiting for Roma to fall, especially the "vultures" Juventus and Napoli, who after winning in their respective advances hope to celebrate again today. "The series of victories is not a burden - however Garcia said - if anything a psychological aid because it allows us not to think about anything other than the next match".
Yes, but Rome is literally burning with enthusiasm and there is a risk that the Giallorossi will feel too much about the match in Turin. “When Toro plays there is always a show – thought the French coach. – He scores and concedes goals, but he entertains, plays well and is worth more than the ranking he has. May the best man win, hoping it will be Roma ”. The Giallorossi will once again have to do without Gervinho, not called up by Garcia, and Castan, who is disqualified, but they will bring back Maicon. The Brazilian will take the field from the start in the standard 4-3-3 formation, with De Sanctis in goal, Benatia, Burdisso and Balzaretti in defence, Pjanic, De Rossi and Strootman in midfield, Ljajic, Borriello and Florenzi in attack.
On the other side there will be Ventura's Torino, lined up with the usual 3-5-2 which will see Padelli in goal, Darmian, Glik and Moretti in defence, D'Ambrosio, Gazzi, Basha, Bellomo and Pasquale in midfield, Cerci and Building in attack.
We are not playing for the top of the standings, but there is also a rather important match in Udine. Udinese-Inter promises to give emotions and entertainment, also because both want to win precious points for their respective rankings. And if the hosts hope to win to confirm the progress seen with Sassuolo, the guests are practically obliged to do so.
After the victories in Naples and Juventus, the Champions League area is 9 points away, which is why a success would be of vital importance for the Nerazzurri's ambitions. “Right now we lack the points – the thought of Walter Mazzarri. – We have lost many of them along the way, some due to too many naiveties. We lack the malice that other teams have, but we know that here we must first rebuild a soul and entertain our fans. In the long run, the results will also come…”. However, the coach hopes that success will already arrive in Udine this afternoon: "We all know how many difficulties this match can reserve, Udinese have a great coach and every year, even if they renew their squad, they always remain competitive, especially at home".
Inter will try to beat them despite some training problems: in addition to long-term patients Chivu and Milito, Campagnaro, Icardi and the suspended Belfodil will also be missing. The only striker available will therefore be Palacio, who together with Guarin will compose today's attack. In defense it will be Samuel's turn again, this time however together with Ranocchia and Juan Jesus, with Rolando starting from the bench. No doubts instead for Handanovic, who has recovered and will be regularly in goal. The good news instead concerns captain Zanetti, on his first call-up of the season after the bad injury of last April 28th.
On the Udinese front, some doubts for Muriel, who has suffered a hardening of the flexor (but should make it), otherwise the usual 3-4-2-1 with Brkic in goal, Hertaux, Danilo, Domizzi in defense, Widmer, Badu, Allan , Gabriel Silva in midfield, Pereira and Di Natale up front.
