TOUR EVENT
Roman derby without goals. The next meeting of the eternal protagonists from the eternal city dispensed with a revenge drive from the “jallorossi”. In the tournament that lost the most significant intrigues, this derby was seen as the main event of the season ending. However, the wards of Spalletti seem to have decided to postpone a terrible revenge for the December 0-3 for the next championship.
HEROES OF THE TOUR
Renzo Gobbo and Rosario Pergolizzi, coaches of Palermo. One head is good, two is better. Apparently, the president of the long-suffering Sicilian club Maurizio Dzamparini was guided by this, replacing the retired Francesco Gvidolin with a duet of not-so-wise experts. As often happens in similar cases, an emergency measure brought immediate results. The victory over Livorno (2: 1), which turned out to be incredibly expressive and energy-consuming, was the first for Palermo in the past three months.
The idea to remove Gvidolin, which surfaced in the head of Zamparini a few weeks ago, materialized yet late. Like a gambler who squandered all his fortune overnight in a casino, the chef “rosanero” runs the risk of not having time to recoup before closing the establishment. Sicilians have 6 points behind Lazio and 4 rounds to correct the situation.
TOUR FAILURE
Luigi Del Neri, Chievo coach. Having minimally lost to Fiorentina, the Veronets stepped onto the curve path leading to the V. Nekstati series for the “flying donkeys” yesterday’s unfortunate brothers - Regina and Parma - who catapulted to the safe zone, won. Steering “Chievo” has a meager experience in the struggle for survival, and with each round it is felt more clearly.
TOUR SENSATION
Serie A entered that seasonal stage when the number of sensations falls with each round. However, the long-awaited victory of Palermo is noteworthy on any background. Stumbling in the second round for everyone, from the squalid Messina and Cagliari to Inter and Fiorentina, the Rosanero unexpectedly defeated the strong Livorno, which is famous for the habit of bothering favorites.
TREND
Parma is moving away from the relegation zone . For several years now, balancing on the brink of an abyss, the Parmesans now and then have been saving themselves at the very finish. This time, Claudio Ranieri had to walk the tightrope without insurance, and the venerable specialist is close to breaking the applause with an impeccably executed number. Having beaten the Cagliari home (2: 1), the Djalloblu rose already to 13th place, although the three-point lead from 18th place still does not allow to relax.

Clarence Seedorf shoots before the return game with Manchester United, and the defense led by Dida rehearses the game to zero.
TOUR DIGIT
The goal in the goal of “Cagliari” was for striker “Parma” Igor Budan 12th this season. Thus, the Croatian surpassed the personal record (11 goals) set by him in the 2003/04 campaign as part of Atalanta. “Palermo”, a long time ago owning the rights to a 27-year-old striker, probably bites his elbows that he did not resort to his services. It seems that Igor would bring more benefits to the Sicilians than Andrea Caracciolo, who scored only 3 goals this season.
