Because four days from the end the leveling of values is crumbling, and something shines through
The verdicts in Serie A come with a dropper, but they do come. After the tricolor Napoli, the obvious relegation of Sampdoria, while the victory of Empoli brings him very close to the goal of salvation (just one point missing). For the rest, the hierarchies of values are thickening, and pending any judicial decisions regarding Juventus, there is the overtaking of the bianconeri in second place, to the detriment of Lazio. Of course, if the championship ended today she would be qualified for the next Champions League: but great calm, because the distance from the Milanese is minimal, respectively one point above Inter and three ahead of Milan. But above all, and it is an indicator as recent as it is effective: Maurizio Sarri’s team lost twice in one week at the San Siro, and always with two goals. Signs that should not be underestimated, in view of the final rush: starting from next weekend, when the biancocelesti will face a Lecce that is back in water after the exploits of Hellas Verona and Cremonese in the slums. Desperate Spezia, who will receive Milan in a match in strong colors, sure Inter that hosts the quiet Sassuolo. In the middle, that trifle called the Champions League semifinal, or Euroderby…
Because Sampdoria Genoa hopes that the descent they have just embarked on will stop at Serie B
When a great footballer finds herself in difficulty, in this case far beyond sports, she is always sorry for the hundreds of thousands of people involved. The end of the season for Sampdoria, it is feared, has just begun: it was not the defeat in Udine that sanctioned their return to the cadetteria, twelve years after the unfortunate 2010-2011 season, but rather the inevitable aftermath and races against time to prevent the definitive business crisis (according to the new rules of the former bankruptcy code), with an attempt to save what could be saved. That is, the sporting title, or the possibility of continuing to play the deserved championship on the field: in this case, precisely, Serie B. In Genoa they have already identified the culprit, and it can only be Massimo Ferrero: but unlike then, and despite such an owner, this relegation is taking place in terms of sporting dignity. The team, although heavily deficient, still fights and does not take boats; the coach, Dejan Stanković, puts his face into it until the end. And the flag, Fabio Quagliarella, at forty years old doesn’t cry for crocodiles like Angelo Palombo but chooses a low profile, also in memory of Gianluca Vialli. The man who, had he been healthy, everyone had been waiting for. On the other side, as is logical, funerals and processions answer for Genoa’s equally well-deserved return to Serie A. But meanwhile great calmbecause the conclusion of the story is far from imminent.
Because we love Kvicha Kvaratskhelia more now than in the months of its explosion
We have dealt with the alien many times in recent months Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and its devastating impact in the Italian championship. Not many of us believed that an athlete from secondary tournaments (euphemism), albeit rich in football history, and escaped the radar of most could ring together a series of tactically impeccable, competitively effective, technically magnificent performances. Nor, once the scudetto has been achieved, see among his statistics the “double double” number of goals and assists, as for the NBA basketball champions with rebounds, in a Serie A where eight out of twenty teams do not see any of their players at least ten goals. Yet, having restated the obvious from experience, great calm because there is still one aspect of “Kvara” to be explored: its humanity. That is, the report cards suddenly skimpy, the feeling thinned out with the goal, the lack of decisiveness, even the fatal error (read the penalty in the Champions League against Milan). Kvicha is not a robot, he is not a machine, and for this reason his traits as an average man are now more appreciated, the beard that few in football still wear, the very fresh influencing in the scores dominated before. Only in this way are they able to further highlight the many sumptuous moments of possibility that the Georgian number 77 has given to those who love football along the ride towards the Scudetto. And for which he should be thanked, regardless of any fan base.
Because the championship is full of stories in the fast lane, by Franco Bitossi and Marino Basso
We wrote that while the boom of Fabio Miretti was awaited, that of Nicolò Fagioli has arrived in Turin. The more mature will remember when the left back of the post Antonio Cabrini for Italy seemed to be Giovanni Francini, and who knows for how many decades: the twenty-year-old Paolo Maldini arrived to overturn the picture and the prediction. Now history repeats itself in Empoli, where from the beginning Tommaso Baldanzi’s talents are rightly magnified, but Nicolò Cambiaghi takes over with the lights off and takes away all the consideration with goals and convincing performances: his coach, Paolo Zanetti, is good , waiting for him and finding space for him. Even changing form to accommodate them both, expanding them against Salernitana and making them coexist with a more orderly and classic attacking midfielder like Liam Henderson, distorting the trademark of the 4-3-1-2 that made Maurizio Sarri’s fortune in Empoli, Marco Giampaolo , Aurelio Andreazzoli. An action in the first half is emblematic, when Baldanzi is rejected by the defense but the ball reaches Cambiaghi, who launches a blow which is repelled with difficulty by the always excellent Guillermo Ochoa. Great calmtherefore, as soon as you think you have discovered the totem of a season: because in football history is written by those who had not been seen coming…
Because now more than the coat of arms and the goals count the hocks and the concentrated head
Four days to go, a month of passion for those who still have something to play for. Let’s overlook the effects of the European cups, which can also reverberate in next year’s participations, at this point of the season the form matters more than the card or the same mismatches between divergent objectives. It is the biorhythms of the championship that tell us that Inter have won their last four games, while Spezia have only achieved one point in five meetings. Thiago Motta’s prodigious Bologna is also marking time (three draws in the last month), while Monza, Milan and Naples remain in a positive streak. The calendar crossings will do the rest: the worst is to find yourself against schizophrenic teams like Turin, who are unable to follow up on the good intentions manifested on the pitch just a week before, but almost always know how to recover after a defeat. And for the imponderable, great calm: May is usually the time when those who are remembered only when they end up in the goalscorers’ bulletin get busy, regardless of class, longevity or character. One name above all: Roberto Pereyra.
