Dia’s hand blows up the Napoli Festival

Juventus draw in Bologna (1-1)

Strange but true, after 3 consecutive defeats, the black and white April ended with an almost encouraging draw. It’s true that a 1-1 draw does not allow you to overtake Lazio in second place, but compared to the last few performances they have Juventus not negligible signs of improvement. More aggressiveness, more speed, more goal chances created with an opponent who also fought until his last breath.

Going ahead in the first half with a penalty from Orsolini, the Bologna he had to suffer the reaction of the black and whites, threatening in attack with the trident made up of Milik, Chiesa and Kostic. The equalizer came in the second half thanks to a razor from Milik who, however, had previously had a penalty saved after a funny jump that sparked the irony of social media and Bolognese fans.

To note in Juventus the insertions in the last half hour of Soulè and Iling. It is from them that the most incisive flare-ups started, including the action that will bring Milik to the net. The Pole hadn’t scored since 22 January. “I liked the spirit of the team” commented Allegri in a relaxed way. “The changes were decisive, we would have lost a race like this a week ago”

Inter overwhelms Lazio (3-1)

With a brace from the wild Lautaro and a goal from Gosens, theInter he hits two greedy goals in one fell swoop: hooking Milan and Rome in fourth place (at 57 points) and removing the evil spell of San Siro, an adverse place where he had always lost in the previous three rounds. Not a bad haul for a Sunday before Labor Day. Let’s say that the Nerazzurri worked well this time despite having gone straight down by a goal (Anderson on Acerbi’s mess). In the second half, thanks also to the insertions of Lautaro and Calhanoglu, Inter found the strength to overturn the match. It wasn’t simple, it wasn’t obvious, especially taking into account that the Lazio, having no other commitments, he had been able to prepare himself in the best possible way. Lautaro was excellent, but Inzaghi was also good, this time skilled at making substitutions.

On the other hand, Professor Sarri was less able who, on the eve, had threatened havoc: “Napoli set the table thinking of our defeat, they will celebrate all the same but as late as possible …” Free words, even if partly spot on, those of the Lazio coach, who perhaps charged the Inter fans even more, more concrete and dynamic than the Biancocelesti, in their second consecutive crash. It will be better for Sarri, as well as worrying about Napoli, to think more about Lazio, no longer so sure of having the qualification for the Champions League in hand. One thing must also be recorded about Inter: that their goalscorers are back to scoring. Lautaro with his braces, Lukaku with his devastating power. It is clear that when your bomber jackets resume doing their job, all the talk about the game that exists or doesn’t exist goes to the frying pan.
