Inter Milan Turn Attentions To Fading Serie A Title Defence After Barcelona Triumph

Inter Milan returns to earth on Sunday when they go to Torino, hoping to relaunch their Defense of Serie in Title, who always buzzes one of the biggest European football nights in their history. No one was thinking about the three -point gap separating the inter of the Napoli league leaders on Tuesday evening when the Inter showed extraordinary guts and determination to go beyond Barcelona, Lamine Yamal and everything, and in the final of the Champions League. The Inter race at the Munich final came to the detriment of their defense of the title, whether coach Simone Inzaghi wishes to say it or not, because the coach had to fight on three fronts with resources overshadowed by those of his continental contemporaries.
The reigning Italian champions have three games to withdraw Napoli before going to Germany for their appointment with Destiny, against Paris Saint-Germain, later this month.
“Inter has never chosen to prioritize one competition on another,” said Inzaghi on Tuesday.
“Sits and say:” I will play for this competition and not this one “is a nonsense. We have given everything in everything.”
However, it seems that Napoli is on the right track towards a fourth Scituditto, because the Sunday match with Genoa is one of the three games against the teams in the lower half of the table.
The Antonio Conte team also faces Parma and Cagliari, none of which is mathematically safe with clashes against the upcoming relegation rivals in the next fortnight.
But Parma is six points from the fall zone with Cagliari another point before in 14th, which means that the two could have their status of high level secure level when they face Napoli.
And the last four victories of Napoli all came without conceding a goal, giving the impression that the title is such a good wrapped, especially since the Chasers of the Champions Inter face Lazio League and the red -heated como after Torino.
If anything, it is the crowded battle for a place in the Champions League of next season which is there that is the real entertainment, with fourth place, Roma and Lazio all locked 63 points.
Juve is at Lazio on Saturday evening, while the Roma are in Bergame on Monday to face Atalanta, who is five points ahead of Juve in third and could lead a qualification for the best European club competition at the Gewiss Stadium.
The Roma is on an undefeated race for 19 games in Serie A and have dropped only 10 points since their last loss, in Como in mid-December.
Bologna is a point behind Juve and the two clubs in Rome in the seventh and face AC Milan at San Siro on Friday, a few days before meeting the seven European champions in the Italian Cup final.
The Vincenzo Italiano team hopes to reach the Champions League for the second consecutive season and break a 51 -year expectation for a major trophy in Rome next week.
Player to watch: Mile Svilar
If the Roma are looking for a top four place, it is partly due to certain heroic goalkeeper performance of the Serbian international Svilar, who has shone since its creation of the first team by Daniele de Rossi last season.
Claudio Ranieri’s team has only conceded eight times in Serie A since the beginning of the year, Svilar making the difference between the sticks with 111 stops, 57 from blows inside the penalty surface.
Last week’s victory over the Fiorentina occurred in a match in which Svilar made a series of beautiful stops to stop the viola, and he is probably crucial against the Trident attacker of Ademola, Mateo Retatea and Charles de Ketelela.
