Interesting characters with vices and virtues.
Although Milan and Roma have changed coaches throughout the season, with Roma doing so twice and Juventus collecting 13 draws in their first 20 rounds under new coach Motta, these three are all teams with history, stars on their teams and talent. After the live match between Juventus and Milan, where there were many new tactics and brilliant counterattacks, it’s time to talk about the teams to which complaints and compliments are approximately equal.
Juventus tries to light the first number
Motta failed to implement Bologna’s clever 2-7-2 system in Turin. A year ago, Thiago had the idea of vertically dividing two flanks and seven players from goalkeeper to striker. Thanks to an unusual scheme, the Bologna club qualified for the Champions League. Juventus is also fighting for a ticket to the prestigious tournament, where they are already playing and beating Manchester City. In this match they held on and won 2:0. But against Milan, they tried to attack, to put Maignan to the test. The “4-2-3-1” pattern without Vlahovic’s post proved tricky. Juventus tried to have a lot of possession and look for empty spaces in the Rossoneri defense. But you need experienced beginners. Motta joked that he had asked the management of the Turin club not to sell more players, but they did not listen to him. The coach is a bit misleading here. I really don’t mind saying goodbye to some veterans. At the same time, Manchester City does not want to hire the young Italian Cambiaso, capable of playing on both flanks of the defense. Against Milan, Andrea played on the left. The versatile McKennie came out on the right, although the American tried to run behind Milan left winger Leau, participating in the attacks. Juventus were closer to the goal and scored it first – Maignan was unlucky with a rebound from Mbangula’s shot. Timothy Weah added another goal five minutes later, Motta deservedly beating Conceicao. The Turin team has a future, because it has young talents. For example, Turkish splitter Yildiz and winger Conceição, who was unable to play against his father’s new team due to injury. Thuram, Fagioli and Kalulu are also interesting to train Motta. If they strengthen the team this winter, they would choose Araujo de Ba rcelone and Kolo Muani from PSGand also let Vlahovic go in order to get money for transfers, then coach Motta will calm down and leave behind draws in favor of victories.
Milan adapts to Conceicao standards
A willing specialist came to the team with gambling problems and a strong character. Milan shared their magic in the Italian Super Cup final against Inter. In the semi-final they eliminated Juventus, then scored two goals against Simeone’s team late in the final. We won 2:3, celebrated the trophy in the fight against the Serie A favorite. Milan struggled to compete with Inter at a distance, Fonseca often admitted. But Conceicao has a promising team. It’s just a shame that there are so many injured. It is more difficult to create chances without Morata and Pulisic. Today, even Milan’s steep left flank, with Hernandez, Reynders and Leau, did not always work. Striker Abraham is not always good when he comes on from the first minutes. But you can work with such players on the pitch and with goalkeeper Maignan. If Juventus achieves a victory over the crisis of Manchester City, then the Rossoneri have the scalp of the best team of last year according to many jury compositions – Real Madrid. When Milan’s grit comes into play, they can upset even the Champions League winners. But the Rossoneri themselves are far from such titles. This season, Serie A has given Napoli, Inter and Atalanta a head start. But if we imagine that Conceicao has the chance to bring together the best on the field, then the Rossoneri, without injuries and with targeted transfers, will become a serious force. Or rather, it will return to today’s standards. Unlike Juventus, who haven’t been champions in five years, and Roma, who haven’t been champions in 24 years, Milan won the Scudetto just three seasons ago. They then failed to maintain their form. But now Councilor Ibrahimovic wishes well no luck in Conceição. This is unlikely to happen without personnel losses. But if they ensure the progression of monsters such as Leau, they will first accumulate victories and then receive money for new transfers for the Portuguese youngsters.
It’s important that Roma say goodbye to Ranieri with grace
As they joked in a famous comedy: if a person can’t do anything at all, he becomes a school teacher. And if that’s the worst of the worst, then he teaches physical education. During his career, Ranieri was able, in certain seasons, to be described as a “physical trainer” after serious failures. Claudio hasn’t always worked as clearly as he did with Leicester in the Championship season. But the Italian mentor is definitely not mediocre. He is not just a teacher, but an educator. And a crowd favorite in many cities. Ranieri returned to Rome again. And there, his footballers crossed paths with Hollywood stars. Timothée Chalamet, one of the leading young actors on the planet, met Dybala and the rest of the cast. An American presents a film about singer Bob Dylan – it is suspected that Ranieri knows his songs and is a fan of Saint-Etienne and Chelsea. Claudio has coached the London club in the past. And now he is ending his career. He announced that after the end of the season he would transfer Roma to another coach. The right decision, because Claudio simply listened to the American owner of the Wolves and decided to stabilize the game by giving up walks with his grandson. Ranieri does better than his predecessor Juric. Claudio recently beat Lazio, which is important for Wolves fans. They also did not lose to Milan, they signed a 1:1 peace agreement. The Romans also scored numerous goals against Parma and Genoa. The “Roma” have woken up, even if it is difficult for them to chase the leaders, because they have matches in hand. But the Wolves have a solid attacking line. Dibala understands Fort Dovbik well. Although El Shaarawy can also come into play successfully as a substitute. Roma has world and Euro champions pe, and it’s still a level. Playing with three central defenders helps goalkeeper Svilar enter the match less often. Ranieri stabilized the situation with experience and wisdom. Although we should not take a break at the end of the season, despite the lack of breakthrough in Serie A. At the same time, we must look for a future coach and win the championship. The fate of a good team, which earlier with Mourinho won the Conference League and played in the final of the Europa League, depends on the choice of a specialist.
