MATCH TOUR
“Palermo” - “Roma”. For a long time the teams coexisted in the top three, and the legality of Palermo's stay there was not discussed. However, a long streak of crushing failures drove the Sicilians even beyond the first quartet. Nevertheless, having recharged the batteries by replacing them on the coaching bench, the Rosoneri perked up and talked about the determination to play beautifully. At least, their plans include a finish in 5th place and a club record for points earned - two points are missing before him. Roma almost guaranteed a second position. To comply with the formalities, it is enough to draw one of the four remaining fights. In conclusion, recall that, among other incentives, Palermo is rehabilitating for a humiliating 0-4 in the first round.
UNEXPECTED INTrigue
“Milan” - “Fiorentina”. Almost classic rivalry this time lacks significant tournament meaning. “Milan” is firmly entrenched in the “Champions League” zone, and “Fiorentina” is hardly pushing “Lazio” out of the four and, most likely, to console themselves with a ticket to the UEFA Cup. But theoretically, "violets", of course, are still able to rise a couple of lines. To keep the chance, it is necessary to defeat the Milanese. By the way, in this case, the Florentines return to the honorable "out of competition" third place - without deduction of penalties.
DO NOT LOSE FROM THE VIEW
Regina striker Nicola Amoruzo , in the last round, took a double in a winning duel with Ascoli and repeated his personal record for the championship. The 32-year-old striker has 14 goals. He had the same amount in the 95/96 season when Nicola played for Padova. Meanwhile, Rolando Bianchi , Regina's partner in the attack against Regina, has even more goals - 17. In total, 31. The Calabrian couple, along with the Florentine tandem Tony - Mutu leads the dispute in the most clogging ligaments of series A.
IMPORTANT WORDS
“I have not yet reached the level to which I am actually capable. Yes, I speak better than a year ago, but I need to add in many aspects. Once said that I prefer to act from the depths, under two attackers. But now I like to be located closer to the gate. I need to improvise, adapt to partners and learn from our forwards. Only then will I become a more versatile player, ”- Milan's fantasy writer Kaka has not yet revealed all the facets of his talent.
BEAUTIFUL NUMBERS
AC Milan celebrated 5 consecutive victories and established itself in third place. A three-week winter break and a breath of fresh air from the January transfer window miraculously healed the Rossoneri New Year’s ailments. Now they, along with fellow countrymen from Inter, are the leaders of the autonomous table of the second circle. Both clubs have 36 points.
