TOUR EVENT
Sicilian derby "Messina" - "Palermo" - 2: 0. Wards Francesco Gvidolin already forgot when they won. The meeting with the inconsolable outsider, by all accounts, was supposed to interrupt the sad, unhappy series of Palermans. However, the head coach of Messina Alberto Cavazin, who accepted the team a little over a month ago, had a different opinion. Having learned about the absence of the main creator Eugenio Corini as part of the rival, Kavazin instructed to fetter the guests in the center of the field, and then proceed to flank attacks. This plan was a success. “Rosanero” tried to hit the gates of Nicholas Caloni the entire first half, and at the very end of the curtain they missed an unexpected goal from 32-year-old Christian Rigano. In the middle of the second half, the very same Rigano scored his 11th goal of the season and made him think about the possibility of his invitation to the national team.
Gvidolin's wards could only complain about the controversial refereeing of Nikola Airoldi, who did not appoint a couple of obvious penalties. Andrea Caracciolo was most zealously dissatisfied, for which he was safely expelled from the field, having not had time to spend there even three minutes. Palermo seriously risks in a week to part with its hatched third place. The visit of the Fiorentina, which has gained momentum, does not bode well for the inhabitants of Renzo Barber.
HERO TOUR
Delio Rossi, Lazio head coach. The current "Lazio" - the standard of the very detachment, which stubbornly refuses to notice the loss of a fighter. It seemed that club president Claudio Lotito, releasing Massimo Oddo to Milan, in fact, declared his refusal to fight for a champions ticket. But it was not there. Having beaten in “Sampdoria”, the “Biancolests” were breathing into the back of the head for the third “Palermo” going ahead and were already ahead of the Sicilians in lost points.
The merit of Delio Rossi in this success is obvious. Claudio Lotito considers every Eurocent, but even in the conditions of austerity, Rossi managed to put together an extremely interesting team. Very young Behrami and Ledesma, located in the very juice of Mauri and Rocky, and even the venerable grandfather Ballotta, appearing on the field, look surprisingly monolithic. It seems that the 46-year-old mentor of the Romans will be recognized as the best coach of the season. This championship has greatly improved his reputation.
TOUR FAILURE
Francesco Gvidolin, head coach of Palermo. If ordinary people, according to Ostap Bender, are pressured by an atmospheric pole weighing 214 kg, then the Palermo mentor is even harder. The eccentric host of the club, Maurizio Zamparini, acts as an add-on, increasing pressure every week. However, there’s no sense in this. Following a series of draws, “Palermo” completely lost to the neighbors from “Messina”, casting doubt on their participation in the Champions League.
TOUR SENSATION
"Roma" took away from Ascoli only a point. The championship has faded into the background for Jallorossi - this is a fact. However, “wolves” were simply obliged to beat his weakest team. At least for a good mood on the eve of the returning champion's battle with Lyon.
TREND
Palermo is sliding down. The Sicilians are still third, but if the disappointing dynamics continue, they will leave the Champions League zone in the coming weeks. Recovery of the leaders - Amauri and Korini - is not to be expected in the near future, and this does not add optimism to the rosanero tiffosi.

TOUR DIGIT
The old-new Torino coach Gianni De Byazi apparently did not know that the guys from Florence, and even more so in their field, were better off not angry. Having hit the gate “Fio” in the 15th minute, in response Turintsy received as many as 5 goals . And defender Alessandro Gamberini was so angry that for the first time in his career he took a double.
