| So it is beginning
to half see a thread in what it has been, at least at the debut, one of
the strangest championship in the last twenty years. After 12 days the
Fiorentina proves it's living, taken all in all, the better moment about
form; when the vein of out of common soloist as Edmundo, Batistuta, Rui
Costa finds important impediments in the defending aggressiveness of some
rivals, here it is the isolated episode to unblock anyway the situation
for the Trapattoni's group. In the in advance match of Saturday at the
Bologna's "Franchi" a very fit Bologna gets close to the success but it
is punished by an invention from a stop kick by the viola. The fact the
Fiorentina does not offer football -champagne this time makes the Emilians
get a bit their role and also gives and important signal, recurring in
the winning teams trained by the most awarded coach in Italy; it doesn't
matter how, but at the end, the 3 points, mainly at home, always
arrive. Many remember the out of common record Inter when it was leaded
by Trappattoni, nowadays sitting on the iris bench. So well, after scanty
victories in settlement periods and some lucky episodes, the black-azure
army increased rapidly dominating the 88/89 championship. The nowadays
Fiorentina remembers under many aspect that group; it has even more technical
rate individualities, mainly on the offensive plan. It is not a case if
a sly old fox as Trap, when presenting the season, labelled the viola as
"a team featured by explosive potentialities, mainly forwards'. Now his
Fiorentina sails at the top of results alone at quota 25 and, what's more,
with ensuring margins against everyone's favourites. Which,
by now, are Juventus and Inter first of all, paired at seven lengths
down, and that share problems not easy to solve. The white-black at Lazio's
intensifies a worrying negative moment enduring already since more than
a month, but, sheer coincidence, since Del Piero knee is KO. Four
points in 5 days have made the Juventus, leading team , sliding rear. Bu
it is not all tar this week: the Turin sporting company will put all in
Champions League, where a victory against the Rosenborg could not be enough.
And even the coach risks to loose, who for years has given this team shields
and trophies. Indeed Marcello Lippi is disclosing reserves about his future.
The most probable destination is Milan, at the Inter. Through his bitter
words, said after the match against the Lazio, Lippi meant that the winning
cycle with Juventus, recently few quoted in comparison to the several critics
he has received, must be continued by somebody else. For him it is ready
a billionaire contract with Moratti, who is keen to find finally a winning
coach.
Meanwhile just the stricken Inter of the post-Simoni shows as the black-azure president had chosen the most difficult way to bring the team till the Simone leading. At Vincenza, a more than ever adrift team makes itself dominated by the host, far and wide. At the end the black-azure leave the Menti shielded by policy, due to a home public, furious for too much referee oversights and for the Milanese' impudent bad luck, getting a tie beyond the 90th. Chronicles talk about a result to say the least lying. We go on thinking that the Inter "bench steal " committed against Gigi Simoni must be punished in other way by the blinded goddess. And that the presence of the policy at Vicenza has been useless since the "steal" of the tie centred by Silvestre in the last minutes of the match. Getting back to good news, Parma and Roma are the leading team first chasers. The Emilians win in the Sampdoria field, worrying close to dangerous zones. While the Roma at the Olympic, after being frozen by Rapaic, warms up with five goals the over 60000 fans in love with the spectacle football of Zeman. The Zaccheroni's Milan recovers from the last week disconcerting 0 to 3 just against the Parma, paying the Udinese back in his same coin. It was the first match for the actual red-black coach, as an ex, against the sporting company that set him apart from the national football. Polemics did not lack, involving another actual Milanist with a stratospheric past at the Friuli. Oliver Bierhoff, after 778 minutes of abstinence, decides to break it against his ex team. And he makes it exulting more than is due, since the white-black past and the importance of the goal in the match economy (the 3 to 0 goal). Result : Fax of indignation by the Friuli fans addressed to the German champion, venerated before at Udine. For the ultras, that inopportune celebration is the end of a love and respect relationship lasted for five years. Another great bomber the Udine has consecrated at excellency levels, Abel Balbo, had never even smile if a goal were made to the Friuli. Bierhoff has made it at the first chance, "betraying" an unwritten pact. For him since now it will arrive only hoots at the "Friuli". |
