TOUR EVENT
Zero draw at Renzo Barbera. The result of the match “Palermo” - “Milan” does not fully reflect the plot of the meeting. Both teams had plenty of chances, including some good ones. But not one has been implemented. The most memorable - of course, Kaka's unbeaten penalty kick. Tiffozi “Palermo” probably thought the Brazilian’s failure was fair, mindful of, to put it mildly, not the most obvious foul against Gilardino, which led to a penalty. Reflecting him, the Sicilian goalkeeper Alberto Fontana seemed to have found wings behind him. Not having used even a half-dozen moments, the Milanese realized that printing a 40-year-old goalkeeper that day was not their destiny and abandoned this venture. Even the emergency assistance of heavy artillery, in the person of the unique Ronaldo, did not help.
HERO TOUR
Francesco Totti The other day, the captain of the “Jalorossi” touched tiffozi, once again confessing his love to his native club. In a guest rendezvous with Chievo, Cesco presented evidence of his feelings. Having made a double, he saved the “wolves” from defeat, which seemed inevitable after the first half hour of the game. Apparently, the mentor of the “flying donkeys” Luigi Del Neri somehow nontrivially set up the wards against his former club. By the 33rd minute, the Veronians were already 2-0! However, Totti reduced the match to a draw and once again demonstrated that he is the alpha and omega of the team Luciano Spalletti.
The fact that Milan Inter will win gold medals is practically a fact. But the best player of the season seems to recognize the player of another team.
TOUR FAILURE
Marco Giampaolo, head coach of Cagliari. This season, Marco Giampaolo has already survived the dismissal from Cagliari, but after two months of creative leave he was returned to the team. It did not bring the expected result. In the confrontation between the returning coaches, Giampaolo lost to Gianni De Byazi (Torino - Cagliari - 1-0), who recently returned to Torino. For Turinians this victory was a real holiday - in the last six meetings they did not score points at all.
TOUR SENSATION
Inter's record winning streak was interrupted at the 18th match. As of Wednesday, the last loss by Inter of points in the national championship was dated October 22. That day, the “nerazzurri” in the Friuli stadium tied with ... “Udinese” - 0: 0. Perhaps there is a certain symbol in the fact that the 17-match winning streak that followed then was interrupted by a game with the same Udins.
The loss of points itself is unlikely to seriously upset the fans of the club. Much sadder is the level of the game, demonstrated by the wards of Roberto Mancini a week before the champions voyage to “Mestal”. Moreover, to meet with Valencia, core center field players Esteban Cambiasso and Patrick Vieira will not have time to leave the infirmary.
TREND
“Lazio” is fixed in the top four. Having won the third row (over Catania - 3: 1), the Delio Rossi team reduced the gap to the third Palermo, which played more in the match, to 5 points. To tell you the truth, few expected such agility from a team that recently sold its formal and informal leader, Massimo Oddo, to one of its main competitors. However, it turns out that Lazio is still a team with character. Matches such as Lazio - Catania are commonly called validated. The “Bianco Celesti” half-game was inferior to the guests and only at the end of the day everything was changed. Tommaso Rokki, who scored the 10th goal of the season, was the most active in the lacy happy end. Against the background of nobody's main competitors - “Milan” and “Fio” - a strong-willed victory over “Catania” takes on a deep meaning. Apparently, Delio Rossi's wards managed to find stability that they lacked in the first round.
CM. ALSO
In the match against Palermo, Kaka regularly created danger at the gates of Fontana, but the Brazilian missed the most real chance to score.
TOUR DIGIT
16 goals of Totti. When Luciano Spalletti began using Francesco as a center forward, not everyone accepted this with understanding. Now, the 10th issue of the Jalorossi leads the scorer race by a serious margin. It seems, put Totti in the goal, and “Roma” would become the most impenetrable team in series A.
