Inter: thanks to "mom and dad" before challenging the yellow wall. Milan: there is only one way out of mediocrity and has a name. Naples and Rome: watch out for commentators. Balotelli: here's what's missing. And on the Var …

Here we are. Mala tempora currunt.

1) That is, Balotelli is angry. And he is right. And everyone says "he is right" but then there are those who add "yes, he is right though …". But what? The fact is that it would be nice if for once the ballooners were not the target players, but the ones next to them. A stuff like that "oh, these guys don't have it with me, but I broke my balls too. And I stop first. "
For the rest there is little to add. The guy whose name we're not going to name writes on twitter: "#Balotelli wanted to enjoy the black pass of" the negro is always right ", but you are more stupid than negro". Under a journalist, he asked for the phone number to contact him. And that publishes it. And then to "the one there" the answer comes easy: "Hey you, if you publish your number on twitter, trust me, you're more stupid than white".

2) The Var. Everyone complains. There is fury. People rightly don't understand anything anymore: when do you use ?, how do you use it ?, because you use a little yes and a little no? Take the handballs: you don't understand a mazzafionda anymore. That is, we meet weekly to discuss penalties that "yes, fall under the regulation" but "boh, in my opinion not really" and "it depends on what point of view you see". It depends on what point of view you see it? So that's exactly the problem. When we were kids, our dad told us "don't touch the ball with your hand, especially in the area because the penalty is whistling against you". Not today. Today a parent has to tell his or her child "not to touch the hand ball unless your arm is adjacent to your body. Simultaneously try to place your hands behind your back to avoid any dispute. Keep in mind that if your arm goes towards the ball then they are your cocks, son, vice versa you can expect that paragraph 23 is applied which is like the Topoli Tutti of hide-and-seek. Do you understand blessed son? " And that, the son, says, "Daddy, will you join me at judo?" And he is right.
With this story of the "new regulation" they created a mess that in judo schools no longer know where to put their members.

3) Milan. Milan arrived at that stage that "yes, we lost, but it's okay because we saw something". It is an unacceptable phase. It would be acceptable only if the person on command told the truth: "We took a corner: we had to go ahead with Gattuso and we had to get him three reinforcements of experience. We didn't do it and now we're trying to stay afloat somehow. " Obviously they never will, we wouldn't do it ourselves either. But "the beautiful defeat is not", please. The fans are no longer even angry, they are resigned. And resignation should be more frightening than anger. But no, those at the top let it go or, even worse, don't know what to do. We throw an idea there, as banal as you want, but there are no others in mind: take Ibra, even at the cost of covering it with gold, even at the cost of going against the commandment of "young people as the only reason to live". Focusing on the "old phenomenon" is never right if you have clear ideas about what you did and what you want to do. In this case, instead, it seems the only logical solution to really make the young grow and make sense of the season.
4) The "calendar" technicians. The last one was Pioli, before him Conte. The extra day or less of rest takes the sleep of the coaches and certainly they are right that they have good licenses. But … But … Come on … But … Please … Come on … "The extra day of rest". But what is it, please. Come on. We understood each other.
5) Ancelotti. Ancelotti does not agree with the withdrawal but adapts to the property. Which is like saying "you broke the bales but you command …". There are those who say that De Laurentiis has already decided to focus on Gasperini for next season, we don't believe it much. No president would think of the "next coach" with a season that has just begun. But it is also true that no sensible commentator would boil Naples as a "badly reduced team" after only 11 days and instead, uh, the Belpaese is full. And the Belpaese will return to turn over the omelette as soon as Napoli returns to having the only thing it really misses at the moment: a bit more ass.
6) Rome. Here we are at the self-report. The undersigned did not believe it even a little. New management, new coach, new players, then injuries in bursts: let's also say that the Rome of Augustine "did not seem all" I'm a carnival in Rio ". But no. Something has happened. It has happened, to say, that for once the "casinos", the controversies, the blah blah blah are elsewhere and the team works in peace. And it does it well. And there are more smiles than jitters. And "the one there", Fonseca, well the one that many of us (I for sure) used to say "look at Italian football as a bad beast" chose to challenge it, the beast, with a "thing" around Europe has been seen for some years: carefree in the field. Oh, let's understand, maybe it won't last, but at the moment it's a beauty.
7) Inter. Inter will be playing tonight for the most important game since the Count era began. Oh God, we say it every week, but this time it's true. The sense is: forbidden to lose in Dortmund otherwise goodbye dreams of glory. It is true, the team is fatigued, above all it fails to return to the field as its coach would like (90 minutes of total and continuous intensity). The truth is that playing every three days cannot succeed. Yet it goes on. And good or bad brings home victories. And don't let out a stone. And then yes, maybe it is not yet a beauty, but this Inter is like when you go to find the newborn baby and you say "Uh, how nice Luigino, it's all his dad". Inter is all his father (Conte), but also his mother (Oriali).
8) Here is Oriali. The other night I had a little discussion with the excellent Cassano (really a good commentator for what my opinion may be worth). According to him, Oriali counts for nothing in the "character progress" of the new Inter. I do not agree. Oriali was with Mancini. He was with Mourinho. He was with Conte in the National team. There is now, still with Conte. There has been no failure in the gray years. And then it will also be that it counts for nothing, but at worst it means that it brings great luck. And luck counts more than anything.
9) I throw it there: Cagliari is strong in my opinion.
10) Finally applause to Mr. Gotti who says "ok a victory, but my job is to be a deputy". The dear old humility. To have it.
