MATCH TOUR“Roma” - “Milan”. Clash of the Giants. Moreover, it’s important in a tournament context. “Milan” is still striving for the first quartet, and “Rome” must defend the second position. After all, the raging fellow countrymen from Lazio have already deprived the wolves of peace. In addition, a few days later, both clubs represent the Champions League calculos. The ending of the season promises to be unusually intense for them. In less than two months, the “jallorossi” will have at least 14 and at most 17 fights (Serie A, Champions League and the Italian Cup final). The Milanese have a slightly more modest program: from 12 to 15 games. Non-stop need a bingo!
UNEXPECTED INTrigueUdinese - Lazio. In the first round, the Romans mocked the Udins - 5: 0. Those are probably wounded. But now on the hands of “Lazio” more trump cards. For example, the Friulians won only one of the last seven meetings, and their guests, on the contrary, won all six previous rounds! True, a two-week pause probably allowed the mentor of the hosts Alberto Malezani to “assemble” the team. By the way, she will be encouraged by the return of the leaders: the recovered Yakvinta and the former Obodo, who served the suspension. Everything else in Udine remember that the last two visits of “Lazio” to “Friuli” brought the Romans big trouble in the form of a score of 0: 3. So, not everything is so obvious.
DO NOT LOSE FROM THE VIEWJanuary rookie “Palermo” Edison Cavani in mid-March played the first two matches in Serie A and scored a goal in them. A 20-year-old Uruguayan nugget was purchased from Danubio for five million euros, and the striker’s calling card was seven goals held at the U-20 South American Championship. According to agent Cavani, the Sicilian club made an offer according to all the rules, although there were many other applicants for the rising star. In particular, Kiev Dynamo.
IMPORTANT WORDS“After moving to AC Milan, a lot of good things happened. I’m just happy to play here. Physical conditions are improving every day, and I’m close to optimal shape. I won’t hide it, it would be great if Kaka, Ronaldinho and I represented one club . Every footballer dreams of playing for the Rossoneri. And, I believe, Dinho is no exception, "- Brazilian striker Ronaldo invites his compatriot from Barcelona to Milan.
BEAUTIFUL NUMBERSThe lead of the leading Inter from the closest pursuer is 18 points. For guaranteed conquest of the Scudetto, the Milanese need to score 13 points - to win 4 victories and one day to draw. In 10 matches.
