Paolo Condò, commentator on "TuttoMercatoWEB" for Corriere della Sera, dedicated his interview to Sunday's match between Napoli and Roma, highlighting the importance of that match for the two clubs. According to Condò, Napoli's victory could re-establish the team in a stable position, while a defeat would otherwise put Roma in a more favorable situation, especially after the latest transfer market.
In his speech, Condò underlined how Allegri's tactics changed the course of the match. “Naples in the cup got out of trouble thanks to a move by the old Allegri, the one who only needed to change the positions of two men to transform a team,” he said. He then explained that De Bruyne's "step back" balanced the midfield, inserting a catapult for McTominay in place of a theoretical passing player, Lobotka. These changes allowed Napoli to maintain control of the game and make the most of the abilities of their key players.
Condò then analyzed Roma's situation, saying that "if he beats Gasperini he gets back on the water, but if Gasperini beats him, he cuts him off". According to the former footballer, Roma are benefiting from a very active transfer market, which has brought new talent to the team. “Unlike the other big clubs, Roma are receiving a lot from the latest transfer market,” he added.
The commentator then talked about Milan and Juventus, two teams that suffered a defeat and a draw in the Europa League. “Oscillating between championship and cup, Milan and Juve continue to exchange the status of the greatest in crisis,” he said. He explained that Milan still has personnel problems for three competitions, while Juventus is waiting for disruptive decisions from Spalletti. Condò also quoted Conte's words, which could be interpreted in many ways.
Finally, Condò closed the interview with a comment on the future of the two teams. “Tomorrow they have two affordable away games, but Amorim has not yet understood that he has no staff for three competitions, while Spalletti is on the eve of disruptive decisions,” he said. The commentator concluded that the season is still ongoing and that the decisions made today will have a significant impact on the future of the teams.
