Football. ua sums up the fifteenth round of the championship of Italy.
The fifteenth round of the championship of Italy was marked by the completion of several impressive series. Napoli for the first time in the current championship lost, losing to Juventus, Sampdoria diligence Lazio interrupted his home winning streak, lasting from the beginning of the season, Benevento won the first point in Serie A, spoiling Gennaro Gattuso debut as head coach of Milan.
Well, nothing lasts forever under the Moon, everything ever ends, and it is not worth it because of this panic. In the end, even Juventus may not become the champion of Italy, and life on this will not end.
Tour Results Just one game?.
In the central match of the tour unconquerable Napoli and "eternal" champion Juventus. Since the fight was made on Friday in order to enable both players to have a rest before the decisive battles in the Champions League, the attention of the whole Italy was riveted to him, and the country was divided into three camps (the fans of both teams do not count). Some wanted victory for Juve, so that Napoli did not escape to the gap too much, others, who were tired of the hegemony of Juventus, - "parthenopes", and admirers of applicants for Scudetto (Inter, Roma and Lazio at the moment) preferred a draw.
In addition, the interest in the match warmed up the bulletins from the infirmary of the "old lady" about the condition of Higuain, postponed on Monday the operation on the finger of the left hand. The information was controversial, even Italian medical luminaries entered the discussion, discussing possible consequences for a football player in the event of damage to the operated finger.
As a result, Gonzalo appeared on the field and traditionally struck the gates of his former club. And this time the goal of "ungrateful heart" (the most decent name, now called Argentine in Naples) was victorious.
It can not be said that this match was a bright spectacle and will be remembered by someone (except statisticians) for a long time. The hosts attacked much more, but in their actions there was no customary brightness, and when it did reach a real danger, Buffon entered the case, providing Juventus with the first dry departure to Naples since 1997.
What changed the result of this match? Locally - the most condensed group of applicants for Scudetto. On a global scale, everything remains the same. Juventus got rid of all his problems on the field and beyond? No. Napoli lost the chances for the championship? Also no. It was just one game, and whether it will be some turning point - will show the next fights.
Not Icardi, the only misfire of Napoli, could not but take advantage of Inter, who was second only to the fourteenth round. And the "Nerazzurri" were so eager to get ahead of the competitor that they did not count the forces and simply took out the rather difficult Chievo - 5: 0.
This time the main hero of the "snakes" was not Ikardi, this season often pulling Inter because of its phenomenal performance. Soloed Perisic, who recorded the first hat-trick at his own expense and was the best on the field. However, Ikardi scored his duty ball and became the sole leader among the scorers of Serie A.
As a result of the fifteenth round of the team, Luciano Spalletti is the only one who still does not know the defeats in the championship. I wonder what Juventus thinks about this, which awaits the current leader of Serie A on Saturday, December 9, in Turin?.

The eternal city comes. If we talk about real contenders for the Scudetto, then with the leading trio for sure try to creep two Roman teams that won in the fifteenth round. And if Lazio had to sweat a lot, "scratching" the points from Sampdoria, then Roma with his task coped relatively easily, good and the opponent was much less problematic - Spal.
"Wolves," which, like Napoli and Juventus, will have to confirm the validity of their claims for a place in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, took the Ferrari on Friday and simply crushed the opponent. The hosts surpassed the guests by all indicators, except for saves, and if not for Gomis, then the number of missed balls from his team would be expressed by a two-digit number. A single ball Roma missed because of a minute of relaxation after the score was 3: 0.
Where it was harder Lazio. If you consider that until Sunday Sampdoria invariably won in all matches in her own stadium, and not so long ago ended with Juventus, then Simone Inzaghi had to come up with something special to achieve victory.
However, the best idea for the guests was to act in their favorite attacking manner, which they did. In this case, and Sampdoria did not sit out on the defensive, although she acted with a greater caution on the gate, especially after she led in the account. To the honor of the guests, they continued to bend their line and in the compensated time still managed to wrest victory.
To whom the joy, to whom the shame If anyone could assume that Benevento will interrupt his losing streak in a duel against Milan, it was before the dismissal of Vincenzo Montella and the appointment as coach of Gennaro Gattuso. But after that, this event seemed completely unrealistic.
Given that Milan, and in recent matches under the leadership of Montella played, in principle, not bad, it seemed that the team lacks only a serious shake to get out of their lethargy. And who doubted that Reno would be able to conduct a certain session of shock therapy?.
And everything seemed to go according to the plan of the "Rossoneri": they opened the scoring, played well, unexpectedly missed, but again came forward and suddenly on you - a mistake in the compensated time and standard, the draw of which culminated in an exact blow to the goalkeeper of Brignoli's hosts! The joy of the "witches" was no limit, and Gattuso after the match admitted that such a result is worse than a knife ... Children, do not live together Despite the insulting home defeat, Sampdoria still can not worry about his place in the zone of the League of Europe, as potential competitors were struck by no-brain syndrome. In addition to Milan, Atalanta and Torino played a tie, and Bologna, after two victories in a row, unexpectedly signed the world in a duel against Cagliari. By the way, Torino at the moment is the most peaceful team in Serie A - eight draws in fifteen games - more than half.

The world and the friendship reigning in the middle of the standings were taken advantage of by Fiorentina, who defeated Sassuolo, and now the list of potential representatives of Italy in the European League looks like this: Sampdoria (having a game in reserve) is ahead of Fiorentina, Milan and Bologna by one point, and from this three one point behind Atalanta, Torino and Chievo. With such a density, we are faced with a fascinating struggle for the only remaining vacant (assuming that not very hasty competitors will not be able to eliminate the backlog of the "fifth superfluous" in the dispute over the Champions League and Sampdoria). True, the third pass in the second most important European tournament is due to the owner of the Italian Cup, so finishing in seventh place, you can not get anything.
Team tour Tour player Almost every match of the tour had its own heroes, and it's not so easy to choose the most-most. Therefore, we give you the right to decide who became the player of the tour:
Higuain, who was supposed to be on the hospital for two weeks after the operation but went to the field of Sao Paolo who hated him and brought Juventus a victory over Napoli, unbeaten earlier, or Perisic, who scored a hat-trick in a duel against a modest spal, and maybe still goalkeeper Benevento Brignoli, who in the last seconds went ahead and brought his team the first point in Serie A?.
