Nobody touches Cain. In football, hysteria and "everything and immediately", after less than a month of the season and only a handful of matches, have already ended up in the eye of the storm, in order: Sarri, Allegri, Pioli and Garcia. While the first two, who will clash next weekend at the San Paolo, seem to have come out of the storm of criticism (for the same reason they entered it: sudden enthusiasm after a couple of positive results), instead the mood is bad for the coaches of the capital.
But do the coaches of Rome and Lazio really have all these faults? Is it really time to question them? In (large) part it can be understood for Stefano Pioli: his Lazio, after the brilliant qualification for the Champions League preliminaries obtained last season, the current one has not started very well. First they frustrated last year's third place by getting overwhelmed by Leverkusen, then they managed to collect 10 goals in their first three away games between the league and the Europa League (13 also counting the debacle on German soil). The alarm bell seems justified, but as usual it arrives immediately and without taking into consideration the injuries that have decimated the biancoceleste team, forcing them to take the field in Naples (where they took 5) with a formation that they could not have done much better. And without remembering that Pioli is the same coach who made Lazio fly by winning eight matches in a row last year.
For Rudi Garcia, on the other hand, the situation is even more paradoxical: the Giallorossi side of the capital is experiencing a good start to the season, enhanced by the feat in the Champions League against Barcelona, stopped at 1-1 despite the ghosts of the 1-7 suffered less than a year ago from Bayern. There Roma he also won at home against Juventus, who he hadn't beaten for years. Yet two draws were enough to bring you within 4 of leaders Inter and trigger criticism: why all this turnover against Sassuolo? Because if it hadn't been there, it would have been invoked. And Totti's presence on the pitch would have been invoked, as he scored the 300th goal in the Giallorossi shirt. But of course you can't have everything.
