MATCH TOUR
“Milan” - “Empoli”. The tournament disposition leaves no choice - the northern capital will host the highest-rated match. There are teams of the six strongest, and much more modest guests are one point ahead of the world’s grand. Both clubs retain the chances of getting into the Champions Four, and the psychological advantage is on the side of Empoli. Unlike the red and black ones, no one will condemn Tuscans either for defeat or for flying past the first quartet. In addition, Luigi Cagni wards have an advantage in freshness. They had been working hard for the week at San Siro, while Milan on Tuesday faced Bayern in the Champions League.
UNEXPECTED INTrigue
“Catania” - “Roma”. Based on the latest news, rivals represent different weight categories. “Roma” in the previous 14 rounds lost only once, and “Catania” every now and then takes a weighty slap in the face - 2: 5, 1: 3, 1: 4, 1: 4 (these are some of its latest results). In addition, in the first round, the Romans knocked out the islanders - 7: 0. The steering of the defeated Pasquale Marino then said: “The game will serve as a good lesson. We will draw conclusions and the picture will be different in the return match. Roma is a great team and today it turned out absolutely everything. and weaker, but the difference in class is not so huge ... "So, in the intentions of the owners a rematch. But one of the components of the plan Marino does not work. In light of the Angelo Massimino disqualification, the Sicilians are moving around cities and towns, risking the final loss of the autumn-winter supply.
DO NOT LOSE FROM THE VIEW
On Monday, Bruno Giordano , who returned to the captain’s bridge two months later, became the Messina’s mentor again. Thus, Alberto Cavazin, having spent 8 matches in the Sicilian club (2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses), repeated the Sardinian story of Franco Colomba. He, too, was replaced during the championship by Marco Giampaolo, and then the leadership of “Cagliari” made the reverse rearrangement. It is noteworthy that the “Messina” decided to re-castling just after the Sunday voyage to Sardinia. It is curious how Giordano was fired. In fact, he was sentenced by tiffozi (one of their leaders got a special audience with the club president), who, by the way, are still against the candidacy of a 50-year-old specialist. His first attempt to dissuade the torsida by irony of fate will be in an away match with the raging and native “Lazio” - from 1975 to 1985, striker Giordano spent 203 matches in the “Bianchelo” and scored 86 goals.
IMPORTANT WORDS
“We are seven points behind, and the table says that Roma is stronger. But Lazio may have a dream. So why not make it a reality? But you need to do everything in our power and not soar in the clouds . Now we should think only about the upcoming game with “Messina.” And nothing more, ”- Lazio coach Delio Rossi discusses the dream and reality.
BEAUTIFUL NUMBERS
Forward “Livorno” Cristiano Lucarelli, scoring a hat-trick in the last round, recorded the 98th, 99th and 100th goals in Serie A. True, the scorer himself insists that he has 101 exact hits on his account. According to Lucarelli, in a home meeting the year before last, he had the ball taken incorrectly into the goal of “Lazio” (the episode was regarded as an own goal by goalkeeper Peruzzi). In any case, the new benchmark for Cristiano will be the result of Francesco Totti. Having scored 143 goals, the captain of “Roma” - the best of the league snipers playing now. The absolute leader is Silvio Piola, who scored 274 goals in the composition of “Lazio”, “Juventus” and “Novara”.
