Sassuolo-Spezia

(6.30 pm on Dazn)

On the eve of the match against Spezia, the Sassuolo coach, Alessio Dionisi, responded to José Mourinho. On March 9, after the success in the Europa League against Real Sociedad, the Portuguese had said: «Now there’s Sassuolo, Dionisi is at home quietly drinking sparkling water (laughs, ed), but we’ll play it». The neroverdi then won 4-3 at the Olimpico: «Did I celebrate the victory against Roma with sparkling water? Some talk about football and some about something else. I prefer to talk about football.” Instead, Leonardo Semplici comes from the home win against Inter on 10 March (2-1). A fundamental success with a view to salvation: «The locker room is compact and thus it is easier to work. Things have already happened that didn’t happen before: goals in the final, goals from substitutes, comebacks. I did many individual interviews to instill confidence and self-esteem. And the warmth of the fans is another very important aspect».

Atalanta-Empoli

(8.45 pm on Dazn, Sky Sport, Sky Sport Calcio and streaming on Sky Go and Now TV)

Atalanta hasn’t won in three matches, starting on 11 February at the Olimpico against Lazio (2-0). The Goddess will try to get up: «The teams that stop in front? It is the demonstration of the balance of the championship, even Empoli were able to win in Milan with Inter. The fans must be optimistic because we are there, we still have a position in the table where we can put everything back into play, right now we have to look ahead. Everyone struggles to win because there’s balance», reassured Gian Piero Gasperini. So, instead, Paolo Zanetti: «Atalanta are very strong, but I’m interested in what we manage to express in a moment like this. It will be a good test, men have to come out of the difficulties. We have to be perfect and I am confident that we will bring out what is inside us».
