With Inter one step away from the Scudetto and AC Milan ever more firmly in second place, it’s a fight between Juve, Bologna, De Rossi’s Roma and Atalanta for Champions.
Currently, Milan is in second place and has Champions League qualification in its grasp.For the other two available places, Allegri’s Juve (dropped two weeks ago to second place), Thiago Motta’s Bologna (currently in fourth place), De Rossi’s Roma (3 points behind Bologna) and Gasperini’s Atalanta (more distant) are vying for the other two spots. On the other hand, it seems impossible for Napoli and Fiorentina.
Massimo Bonanni, former Palermo and Lazio but raised in Roma, spoke to the microphones of TvPlay. The interviewee spoke about the challenge between Roma and Atalanta for fourth place in the Champions League and the young coaches who have most impressed him lately in Italy.
Among the coaches who are more or less emerging or who are anyway surprising me I definitely say Simone Inzaghi: his game is really interesting. Then I also say Thiago Motta. And then in my opinion a very good coach is Vanoli, who is at Venezia
” said Bonanni.
With regard to European commitments, the interviewee points to AC Milan and Fiorentina. “Fiorentina does not have an impossible schedule, let’s say the draw went quite well. Atalanta has Everest to climb: going ahead is really complicated. Then anything can happen … but at the end of the day Liverpool is really the favorite to win the Europa League. “
Roma better than Atalanta for Champions League: “De Rossi has revived the team. “
“Milan-Roma is a good challenge. I say 50-50. Of course, until two months ago I would have said Milan with my eyes closed,” the interviewee continued, “but since De Rossi is on the bench I see a different Roma. Even for Champions League qualification, Roma is more launched than Atalanta. “
According to the interviewee, Daniele De Rossi managed to do something simple, but at the same time beautiful and important. “Basically he was able to lift everyone’s spirits, and above all he managed to prove what I have always thought, which is that Roma has a strong squad.”
“Roma were not as poor as the old coach wanted to paint them. Mou said they were not capable of making three passes in a row. And in fact before you didn’t see them doing such things, but mainly because according to the coach this team was not able to do it. “
“So Daniele had the merit of lifting Roma’s morale to these guys who are doing what they are really capable of doing,” the interviewee continued. “Because Roma is a strong team and I seriously believe they will fight until the end for a place in the Champions League-they are better than Atalanta.”
