Image gap

Championship of Italy. 22nd round. The main thing.

TOUR EVENT

Defeat Inter in a potentially golden match. The first loss of three points in the season pales against the background of image losses incurred by Nerazzurri. Mancini's team limply neglected the opportunity to defeat the main pursuer and celebrate the scudetto in their own stadium. Without putting a beautiful and convincing point in the boring season, the “interists” only emphasized its absurd essence.

HERO TOUR

Kaka. The magnificent Brazilian had enough time to make a double and initiate a major victory over Ascoli. The defeat of the helpless outsider from Ascoli Piceno allowed Milan to withdraw to a safe distance from the pursuers. Saturday's visit to Cagliari does not bode tangible problems for Ancelotti's squad. “Rossoneri” can concentrate on the imminent league champions confrontation, the first round of which is scheduled for next week.

TOUR FAILURE

Roberto Mancini. “Inter” has long been playing through its sleeves and, in principle, has the right to do so. However, in the game with Roma, the Nerazzurri still had to pull themselves together. Mancini either could not, or did not consider it necessary to psychologically stimulate the wards before meeting with, albeit a formal, but still the main pursuer. If Roberto did not want to - this is sad, if he could not - doubly sadder. After all, the next season will surely stand out for his team much more energy-intensive.

TOUR SENSATION

In this nomination, nothing beats the first defeat of Inter. Providing the ill-wishers with many reasons for gloating, the “nerazzurri” also seriously upset the owner of the club. Massimo Moratti publicly announced his desire to achieve a magical 100-point indicator. But, judging by the match with Roma, he could not convince of the need for the final activation of the team's players.

TREND

“Lazio” slows down. Having provided an impressive winning streak with a cozy spot in the top three, the “Bianco-jellies” relaxed a bit. It is difficult to come up with another explanation for two consecutive draws with outsiders - Ascoli and Chievo. Outstripping Palermo and Empoli by 8 points, the Delio Rossi team can feel quite comfortable. But the misfire even in the Sunday match with Fiorentina is able to reignite the intrigue in the fight for champion champions.

CM. ALSO

In two post-Manchester meetings, “Roma” won with a total score of 7: 1 (Sampdoria - 4: 0, Inter - 3: 1) ...?



TOUR DIGIT

Having scored the 21st goal in the championship at Inter, Francesco Totti recorded a personal record for seasonal performance. The previous one was installed three years ago under the leadership of Fabio Capello. Moreover, then Francesco was not at all the only forward of “jallorossi” and was located much deeper.
