Football. ua sums up the fifth round of the championship of Italy.
The fifth round of the Serie A championship not only did not clarify the tournament situation, but even more confused the situation. Perhaps this does not apply only to Juventus, who is still confidently occupying the first line with a 100% indicator, and Napoli, as in the past season, following the trail of "zebras".
Results of the tour ITALY. SERIES A, 5 TOURS 21 SEPTEMBER 2018 21:30 Sassuolo 3: 1 Empoli 22 SEPTEMBER 2018 16:00 Parma 2: 0 Cagliari 19:00 Fiorentina 3: 0 SPAL 21:30 Sampdoria 0: 1 INTER 23 SEPTEMBER 2018 13:30 Torino 1: 3 Napoli 16:00 Bologna 2: 0 Roma 16:00 Chievo 0-2 Udinese 16:00 Lazio 4: 1 Genoa 19:00 Milan 2: 2 Atalanta 21:30 Frosinone 0-2 Juventus Roman holidays What's up, something incomprehensible is going on with Roma. Three games without victories, plus the rout in the Champions League had to push the "wolves" to somehow change the current state of things. Fortunately, the rival went to the Romans quite suitable - Bologna, which scored just one point from the start of the championship and never struck the gate of opponents. But it turned out that the half-dead beast was capable of more than just wounded.
Filippo Inzaghi's wards not only pleased the once formidable striker with goals, but also managed to win the first home victory over the Jallorossi since September 2004 (!) (The last victory of Bologna over Roma happened in Rome in September 2012). Inzaghi himself admitted that he did not expect such a result, and, naturally, dedicated the victory to the fans, who did not turn away from the "rosso" in a difficult minute.
And what about Roma? The club's management, which conducts an unclear transfer policy, is not going to take the blame on itself, and is already looking for a replacement for Eusebio Di Francesco (Fiorentina ex-coach Paulo Sousa leads the list of candidates), and the coach himself blames players whose actions were lost in the past season allowed to leave the hopeless, it seemed, situations.
In blue and white Rome, the mood is quite the opposite: after two defeats at the start and the same number of exhausted victories, Simone Inzaghi's wards finally reminded themselves of the pattern of last year, defeating Genoa. Lazio scored four goals, to which the Genoese responded with one accurate stroke of the sensation of the current season, Krzysztof Piontek, who repeated the record of Andriy Shevchenko - five goals in his four first Serie A games. Given the same four goals in the cup match, the Pole began his Italian career just brilliantly - nine goals in five games. Probably, it is not by chance that rumors have already spread that they are interested in Barcelona.
Despite the fact that the situation in Genoa is not so catastrophic (two defeats and two wins), the coaching bridge under David Ballardini already swayed. The president of the "griffins" Enrico Presiosis, shocked by nine missed balls from Sassuolo and Lazio, is ready to invite the ex-coach Crotone David Nikola to the team ... Sampdoria and Inter "battled the porridge" in Genoa If Inter did not win against Sampdoria, serious problems in terms of further employment could have occurred in Luciano Spalletti. However, in the duel, which became, as they say, "validolnym" for the fans of both teams, "Nerazzurri" still managed to gnaw out three points.
The only, he was victorious, the ball "snakes" scored already in the compensated time, and in the course of the match the referee at the pointer of the VAR system canceled as many as three gates (quite rightly) - one for the hosts and two for the guests. The exact blow of Brozovich caused such a surge of emotions in Spalletti that the coach earned the removal. Officially - for too expressive appeal to the fourth arbitrator, although Mr. Luciano himself assured that he only shouted "Goal!" To the television camera.
This result once again confirmed that the Nerazzurri, who also snatched victory in the compensated time of the Champions League match against Tottenham, have a character, but for the time being there are doubts about Inter's ability to defeat the rivals "on the class," which, considering the composition of the team, the.
Tactics decide everything But Napoli, it seems, with the victories "on the class" is all right. In this style in the last round was beaten by Fiorentina, and in the current - Torino. The "bulls" themselves and their coach Walter Mazzari admitted that they did not have enough of this class to compete on an equal footing with the Neapolitans.
But the coach of the "donkeys" Carlo Ancelotti, who is accused of traveling on the foundation laid by his predecessor Maurizio Sarri, believes the whole thing is that he decided to modify the tactic somewhat by refusing the 4-3-3 scheme in favor of 4-4-2, removing Insigne from the flank and sending him to the center to help Mertens. Whether this scheme will survive - the future will show. Meanwhile, the vice-champion again takes second place, yielding to Juventus three points.
Tranquility, only calmness The fact that the current champion will continue his winning streak, no one doubts anyone. Frosinone is not a rival who can create problems for the "old lady", although after the stopwatch on the scoreboard measured 80 minutes of playing time, the air smelled sensational: the same scoreboard burned zeroes.
True, soon Cristiano Ronaldo proved that the double in the last round was not just an accidental episode in his almost begun Italian career, and already in compensated time, Bernardeschi put in the game a natural point.
After the match, Massimiliano Allegri said that he did not doubt for a second the victory, because by the game and by the number of strokes that his wards inflicted (30), it was necessary only to be patient and calmly expect the moment when the quantity will grow into quality.
"Two-faced" Milan Despite the fact that Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso also said that he is absolutely calm after a draw against Atalanta, a certain alarming moment in the actions of his team is still visible. And the leader of the "devils" himself said this, calling his team "two-faced": Milan is a great first-half, but in the second he has problems.
In the match of the neighbors in the standings, Milan already in the second minute sent Atalanta a knockdown by continuing to regularly score Higuain, then after the break immediately reacted to Gomez's goal, but eventually broke under the onslaught of guests equaling the score in compensated time.
Both teams slightly improved their tournament position, but continue to be in the lower half of the table, and even with the match in reserve, it's too early for Milan to dream about the Champions League zone.
