Napoli-Roma becomes the center of the championship. The Maradona match can heavily affect both the race Scudetto that on that at the Champions, seen and considered that even there there are no more certainties. Juventus' misstep against Bologna, in fact, gives the Giallorossi a rather tempting chance to get back in the game, perhaps together with Fiorentina and Atalanta, both with a recovery still to be made (in the case of the Bergamo players there are even two, in the light of the match Easter Monday with Verona). Napoli, on the other hand, have no slip-ups to exploit, but for this very reason they have only one result available: a lack of victory, in fact, would mean a definitive goodbye to dreams of glory.
Milan and Inter run, Napoli can only win. Spalletti: "Less chance of the Scudetto, but nothing changes for us"
The results of Milan and Inter leave Spalletti no alternative, forced to take the 3 points to continue the Scudetto race. It remains to be understood if the team will have managed to file the defeat against Fiorentina, or if it will end up being crushed by it: the fact is that Maradona's is not a normal passage in the championship, but a real inside or outside, which will determine the next path. Of course, the feeling is that Napoli already has wasted too many opportunities, especially at home, where he lost 5 games (8 including cups) and a lot of self-esteem. In terms of squad, the Azzurri have nothing to envy to anyone, not even reigning champion Inter, but from a mental point of view the assessments change, because every time they have had the opportunity to make the leap they have fallen miserably. But all is not lost, even if the match with Roma risks being the last call at a high level: Spalletti, a former player who is always much talked about around Trigoria, knows it well and for this very reason he tried to hit the button of serenity . “We could have tried not to lose against Fiorentina, that defeat reduced our chances of fighting for the title – admitted the Certaldo coach -. However, the victories of Milan and Inter don't change anything, we can't play other people's games, it becomes dangerous to spend energy on aspects that don't depend on us."
Juve's draw reopens the Champion's race: now Roma believe in it. Allegri flaunts confidence, but is doing worse than Pirlo. And Lapo freezes it with a poisonous tweet…
A very different perspective that of Rome, which arrives at this challenge loaded with the latest results, its own and those of the competition. Juve's draw with Bologna allows them to dream of a sensational run-up to the fourthprovided obviously to conquer Naples and transform a potentially unfavorable turn into a real break-point. Mourinho he says he doesn't believe in the Champions League, but in his heart he knows he can put pressure on the Lady, so he'll try until the end, although the calendar (Naples and Inter) certainly doesn't help him. The enthusiasm that reigns in the Capital is strong, as is the ambition to win a trophy again after so many years, but the pressure is all on the opponents and this helps a lot in preparing for the matches. There Juventus he had a comfortable enough chance to close every gap, instead he ended up making it even wider by drawing a game he needed to win. On the 1-1 draw at the Stadium, in addition to the umpteenth slow-motion case of the season (the images did not fully clarify whether or not there was a penalty for the bianconeri), a subdued performance weighed, a step behind compared to the last a worrying sign for the ending, which will have to be tackled with much more attention. “We had a bad first half, we only reacted after conceding a goal – confirmed Allegri -. We don't have to take so many, plus we need to be more lucid in front of goal. In any case, we would have lost these games at the beginning of the season, so let's try to see the glass half full: we still need them for the Champions League 10 pointsLet's take it one step at a time." But the black and white people begin to rumble, all the more so if Lapo Elkann, not just any fan, takes care of giving them a voice: "We're not very cheerful, Allegri..." the vitriolic tweet that appeared on the profile of John's brother, testifying that even in There is someone in the family who is not very satisfied with the coach from Livorno. After all, his return season is not going as expected, so much so that even the much-reviled Pirlo risks winning the match. Of course, the qualification for the next Champions League will be decisive, but also the Coppa Italia (the return against Fiorentina on Wednesday) would help to give some morale to an increasingly disappointed and disheartened environment.
