when you hear Naples he loses his breath for a moment and closes his eyes. The defeat suffered in San Siro (1-2) burns and injures a Stefano Pioli. Moments of that bitter night come back to his mind: the whipping of the head of the simeonethe recovery and the cry of Kim following a match that must have seemed enchanted to him.
O Milan Italian champion defeated at home by an opponent who, on the eve of the championship, after a summer of painful and important transfers, after having profoundly renewed the squad, believed he could play such a season. “A team like ours that plays so well can’t lose, it doesn’t deserve it”he then said with deep bitterness on the sidelines of that night which remained a little in his stomach.
Inside a league as in Champions League the pace, performance and personality displayed by the team Luciano Spalletti repudiated bars, left many stunned, forced so many to change their minds, overturned judgments and predictions, made scorched earth, frustrated even the runners-up of Europe in Liverpool. To such an extent that in Germany, when they learned that in the round of 16 the opponent ofEintracht Frankfurt would have been the Neapolitans, they recited ejaculations.
How long will this state of grace last? Will it be true glory or will Napoli deflate into the distance? Will he be able to resist the pressure, the physical effort between the championship and the Cups? Will it go all the way or will it collapse one day as suddenly as it did in the pivotal phase of last season? the words of Massimiliano Allegri fresh from the victory over Inter, they tell a first look at the wonder that spread the cards on the table and how the “Azzurri” must pass.
“We don’t think about who is in the lead, but who is in front of us admitted the Juve coach 10 points behind the top – we are -2 in the Champions League and we think about it. Napoli are doing extraordinary things. In January, after the long stop, a new championship will begin”.
The concept expressed by Pioli on the eve of the championship game against Cremonese completes the reflection suggested by the Juventus coach. In Cremona, in the midweek match (penultimate before the break), Milan will try to win again, hold on to the leaders’ trail, exploit every little misstep.
“We have to play well and consistently – says Pioli 24 hours after the game against Alvini’s team -. We must not be influenced by the episodes of the match. We know that it is a very important moment of the season and we must arrive at the stop with the best possible classification. . I expected a balanced championship, no one expected Napoli to score so many points and have this performance.”
