The Champions League is calling, will Rome and Milan be able to respond? Lawful question on a Sunday that will see him direct clash between Roma and Inter, but also the afternoon matches of Milan and Lazio against Parma and Chievo respectively. Heavy points in terms of fourth place, because if it is true that December has just begun, it is also true that the standings are on the way outlining and that mistakes, day after day, take on an ever greater value. The big match is certainly that of the Olimpico, where Roma and Inter (at 20.30) go in search of a very important victory, in terms of standings and morale. The speech applies above all to Di Francesco, forced to score points so as not to even risk the bench, but also Spalletti he needs to win, on pain of being sucked into the fourth place area.
“It's not a decisive match, after all in this period none are – the Nerazzurri coach glossed over. – I want my team to play a good game without making calculations, we will face a qualitatively excellent Rome, capable of putting together a series of victories and putting things right". Spalletti knows that this race can also serve morale of the square, a little subdued after the defeat in London, while a negative result would have the opposite effect. The speech, properly amplified, is valid also for Di Francesco, essentially forced to win in order not to lose ground from fourth place and, consequently, his current job. “I want to see a team with blood in its eyes, with the desire to change pace – he thundered at the press conference. – We have to come up with something more, get out of our difficulties. Up until now, Inter have shown that they are better than us but we have the potential to do everything".
Difficult to say too much about who can leave Favourite, certainly, however, the premises of Spalletti they seem to be much better. The technician must give up Nainggolan e Dalbert,agreement, but nothing compared to the slew of absences of Di Francesco, forced to do without De Rossi, Pellegrini, Dzeko ed El Shaarawy. Inter will play with a 4-2-3-1 with Handanovic in goal, D'Ambrosio, Miranda, Skriniar e Asamoah in defence, Brozovic e Vecino in midfield, politan, Joao Mario and Perisic (ballot with Keita) on three-quarters, Icardi in attack. The same system also for Rome, which will respond with Olsen between the poles, Florenzi, Manolas, John Jesus e Kolarov in the back department, Nzonzi e Crystalline in the median, Under, Zaniolo and Kluivert behind the lone striker Schick. Two teams already aware of the afternoon's results will take the field at the Olimpico, when the protagonists will be Lazio and Milan. And the Rossoneri will open Sunday at San Siro against Parma (at 12.30), in a much more balanced match than one might have thought in the summer. Currently iIn fact, there are only 2 points between Gattuso's men and those of D'Aversa, that's why the Rossoneri coach, grappling with the usual endless list of unavailable (Bonaventura, from Romagna, Musacchio, Caldara, Biglia and the disqualified Higuain), does not trust at all.
"We have to respect the opponent and understand that his counterplay can create many problems for us – explained the coach. – If we play as against the Dudelange we don't win, but the other night, when we were down 2-1, ho seen the right faces. We must continue with this humility and to remind us that there will be 60 people in the stadium, a great and further reason for pride”. Milan want to win and to do so they are ready to return to the club 4-3-3 with Donnarumma in goal, Calabria, Abate, Zapata and Rodriguez in defence, Kessie, Mauri and Bakayoko in midfield, Suso, Cutrone e Calhanoglu in attack. Same form also for D'Aversa, who will try the coup with Sepe between the poles, iacoponi, Bruno Alves, sticks and Gagliolo in the back department, Grassi, Stulac e Barilla in the median, Biabiany, English and Gervinho in the offensive trident.
