Inter, what a waste. Milan, what character. Napoli, what normality. Juve, what a disaster.

Inter misses a real opportunity: to move ahead after 40 seconds (Pio Esposito) and squandering it cannot be a badge of honor. The Fiorentina proudly clings to Ndour, a gross error by Barella, on the scale the point is worth three. But Inter has the same flaw as always, referring to the management of the game that is not always enlightened. Chivu goes into the break with six points ahead of Milan and seven ahead of Napoli, which should be more than enough margin, but the conditional must be memorized and not overlooked.

The fight for a Champions League spot has some absolute certainties. The Napoli that wins the fourth consecutive match is a product of a rediscovered normality: if the champions you often had in the infirmary for the last 2-3 months are returned to you, you cannot refrain. The victory against Cagliari is a hymn to concreteness, a strike from McTominay and I have a full meal, including dessert and after-dinner drink. If then, at the end of March, there are those who seek beautiful football or something like that, it is right to let them sing in the desert. Last August, no one would have thought of a single goal to achieve in the spring, but we must also imagine the bitter tears that will be shed by those who - in the next round of cards - should remain outside the most lucrative European competition.

The Milan has never caught the eye, it must be said with the utmost respect for Allegri. But the same argument applies, a fantastic performance without points in the standings equates to a flop. So, it’s better to take down Torino and go into the break with a nice smile. Soon debates will arise about the famous striker that sooner or later will have to be gifted to the current coach, perhaps conclusions will be drawn about the lazy Leao (no longer untouchable). But in the meantime, we must list the names of those who are truly worthy of wearing that jersey, we stop at four: Maignan, Pavlovic, Rabiot, and Modric. Of course, in that squad, there can be various Tomori and Fofana, the same Pulisic was an added value until December and then he stopped.

The Juventus that crashes against Sassuolo goes well beyond the hope, still intact but declining, of not experiencing a completely anonymous season. There is a concept that is a verdict, when Spalletti grants zero minutes to David and Openda (the two signings for the summer attack) to give a few minutes to both Vlahovic and Milik, both at 30 percent of their condition. In this reading lies the season of Juventus, the mistakes and omissions of January when they did not provide Spalletti with a central striker, despite a request that lasted four weeks. And in the considerations for future strategies, there will need to be a mea culpa and some constructive processes organized, especially if it is not possible to hear the famous tune of the next Champions. Como, which has taken care of Pisa, has three points more. The road is still long; in the meantime, Gasperini dismantles Lecce with Robinio Vaz and catches up with Spalletti, someone will cry in a couple of months. But now let's focus on the National team shaped by Gattuso, a Ringhio of pride to avoid being mere spectators at the third consecutive World Cup.
