Serie A, i cinque temi della 14ª giornata

Commitments similar to the "intruders" for the scudetto, Giampaolo hunting for confirmations, Saturday from "salvation" with Chievo-Spal and Sassuolo-Verona. Bucchi and Pecchia are in danger, in different ways. Turin bomber scurry

The thirteenth was the day of the up-front clashes (they paid Duma Juve and Lazio), the 14th is facing distance challenges and is without real big-match. These are shifts, supposed interlocutors, who sometimes have surprises. Let's look at five things to keep an eye on.


THE SAMP WILL BE EUROPE? - A year ago, more or less of these times, he touched Simeone's Genoa to beat Juve at home: the season then did not go the same way. The Samp is more solid and structured, but it is after the big companies building high-ranking teams. In the Bologna match Giampaolo can get answers: if he passes, still convincing, it will be the case to take the blues-racket seriously.



SATURDAY FROM SALVATION - Saturday's program is rich, at 18 there is a "salvage" quadrangular. In fact Chievo, which hosts Spal, could legitimately object to the label, strong in its 17 points. The other three are in the fight to the neck, starting with Spal rival of the "mussi". For Verona to Sassuolo it is worth the Benevento speech a week ago: an opportunity not to be missed. Much more than Pecchio risks. But even the "team-Mapei" has little to be comfortable with: the win with the Campanians has come in rocambolesco, after 3 k.o. in a row. Berardi is only warned of misplaced penalties, beat the last one is the minimum trade union for a team that he was thinking of pointing higher.


BEST INTER OR ROME? - If Juve and Napoli at the start of the season shared the favors of opinionists and bettors for the scudetto, Roma and Inter in 13 days have steadily been up there. In this round two similar trips, against mid-low ranking teams, but with "new" coaches and potential quality. Usually the approach of the two coaches: Francesco will make a turnover in Genoa (also because he has played in Champions), Spalletti will change very little in Cagliari. Will they step together?



THE NEW UDINESE OF ODDO - Another motive of interest is seeing the debut of Udinese's Massimo Oddo. The new coach of the Friulians has armed the workouts a week, and the new form of bianconeri will only be discovered on Sunday at 15, against the top of the class. But Paul should move from the right, in general there is curiosity because Oddo, though never winning with Pescara, had seen game ideas and flashes of "beauty." This time, he has decidedly more quality and experience: he has to do points. Maybe not right away, maybe not Sarri's oiled car


CRASH TEST DYBALA AND BELOTTI - Exam day also for the two most talented men and quotes of Turin teams. Paulo Dybala, 2 goals from the start of October after having scored 10 in the first 6 days, against Crotone has an unmissable opportunity to return to being decisive. Some signs of recovery after a downhill came in the final of Genoa and against Barça. Now you need more. Gallo fans expect the grenade fans: Belotti tossed two points from the floppy disk against Chievo, and is still looking for an acceptable post-injury form. In San Siro, theater of blue pains, against Milan who courteshed, courtesized and courtesy, the striker "must" beat a shot. Much more than the Rossoneri, albeit in shooting (true or illusory?) Are not imperforate.
