MATCH TOUR
“Fiorentina” - “Udinese”. The modest tabular position of the rivals is just a cause for error. The selection of performers and the staging of the game at both clubs is quite sound. The reason Fiorentina vegetates away from the pedestal is known: penalties. And “Udinese” - just two points from the champions fourth place. In the last five rounds, the teams won three times. At the same time, the Friulians clearly added with the arrival of the new helmsman Alberto Malezani. Voyage to Florence will certainly inspire him with a sentimental mood: in the late 90s, “violets” under the leadership of the current coach, “Udinese” showed a very bright and productive football.
UNEXPECTED INTrigue
Chievo - Inter. The main contender for the scudetto is still one step away from repeating the honorary record for the number of victories in a row for the leading leagues of the continent. The winning streak of Inter is 14 matches. Before the mark of 15 victories in a row reached Madrid “Real” and Munich “Bavaria”. Note that to repeat the achievement in a duel with “Chievo” Milanese will probably be easier than in the battle with “Roma” from the tour, canceled a week ago. However, there are nuances. Since the time of the phenomenal take-off to the orbit of Series A (the modest debutant in the 2001/2002 championship has long walked in the top three, and finished fifth), Veronets have always fiercely resisted the giants. Is it possible to know about this in black and blue, which were burned in the first home date, at the end of 2001 - 1: 2? From the squad Luigi Del Neri then no one expected such agility. The situation is much like the current one. "Chievo" much for surprises ...
DO NOT LOSE FROM THE VIEW
The executive director of “Catania” Pietro Lo Monaco last tragic Friday, the Sicilian derby after the death of a policeman resigned. At the same time, he noted that the death of a person makes reasoning about the game meaningless, and called his selfless love for football an absurdity. In conclusion, the former director of “Catania” added that he will leave the world of Kalcho forever.
IMPORTANT WORDS
"The decision to play behind closed doors is pure demagogy. And we want it to be canceled. The country's leadership was obliged to consult with the presidents of the clubs before taking such measures. It is possible that the teams will start a strike and the championship will be completely disrupted," the president “Palermo” Maurizio Zamparini is outraged by the ban on spectators from visiting some stadiums.
BEAUTIFUL NUMBERS
