Since we are in a dramatic pause for the national teams and we really have nothing to say (appreciate the great intellectual honesty: nothing-to-say) we do an easy-easy thing: let's scroll through the main balloon sites and comment on what's there. Yes, it's true, it's not done, but the pause is stinking. Sorry.

Let's talk about Gabigol. Gabigol arrived in Europe, at Inter, and everyone said "it's a blowjob". In fact, yes, it looked like a blowjob. He returned to Brazil, gave his name meaning, made us take all the bad thoughts and now everyone says "they don't understand anything at Inter". But the fact is that yes, Inter really looked like a blowjob and Inter are right to do what they have to do: to re-enter their old investment in some way. He will succeed.

Let's talk about Platini. Yesterday there was Platini in Milan. He talked about a little bit of everything. The undersigned was there. You expect to have something to do with a "demon", but you listen to it and it is as pleasant as a sugar pancake. He says: "I'm a victim of a conspiracy" and you thought "yes, well, come on, that's a criminal" you find yourself doubting ("maybe they really put him in the middle"). The fact is that Le Roi wants another opportunity and probably someone will offer it to him. Then he talks about the World Cup in Qatar and says: "They will be beautiful. In December there will be 25 degrees and you will be able to see three matches live every day by riding the subway ”. Massì, a beautiful month of vacation in December, easy right?

Let's talk about Ibra. Ibra will "let us know". Bologna insists, Milan is not clear, he stalls waiting for the best offer. Playing for Mihajlovic teases him, his wife would prefer Milan. We insist: the Devil makes an effort if he wants to make sense of the season, a little enthusiasm for the square and, at the same time, if he wants to try to increase the value of players who at the moment are definitely making the minimum under the union.

Let's talk about Paqueta. Brazil coach Tite defends him "He is a great player". Many people think, even us. There is only one problem: it must prove it. A year after his landing in Milan it is time for him to show off: the fact that the Rossoneri are in trouble must not be an excuse ("everything goes wrong so I too") but one more reason ("I'll take care "), Otherwise Tito's words will have the value of Renato: Zero.

Let's talk about Piatek. Piatek fixes the figure: "I will change squad when I will be worth 70 mln". The rest of us continue to believe that the Polish is an excellent striker, but certain exits inspire us with only one answer: Krzysztof, magna sereno.

Let's talk about Rakitic. Barcelona frees Rakitic: "Decide him". Many give him next to transfer to Juve, others to Inter. As if it were all simple. Earn 8 millioncini, the Croatian. And so yes, Juventus is a possibility, but only in the context of an exchange with Emre Can (and perhaps it might not be enough, the bianconeri want and must lower the mountain engagement: they tried last summer, without great success).

Let's talk about Sanchez. Dr. Volpi says: "Recovery is proceeding well, it will return in mid-January". Someone takes it badly: "But noooo, so Inter won't take another tip!" Bulimia from the market is an ugly beast.

Let's talk about Mancini. Mancini went "beyond", there is little else to add. True, the group was simple but there is no way and way of getting the results. The coach succeeded with the game, the unity of purpose, he well communicated his "national idea", he built a group. Predicting where the Azzurri can go is foolish and quite useless, but we will certainly face the European with clear ideas: as we were set a little over a year ago, it is already a lot. Very very much.
