Why would Gasperini leave Atalanta for Napoli? Unless it’s one, possibly last go at a really big club, he’s better off staying at Atalanta and keep building on his legacy there. Especially with them in the CL (finished 6 places above Napoli) and having more stability looking at how they’re ran.
On the other hand, I think Napoli can be really happy with getting Conte at the moment. They lost their path a little bit after their title winning season.
As always though, the problems at Napoli are largely of De Laurientis’ making. So here he is hiring a high priced coach who will demand things from him he is unwilling to give and surely fall out with almost immediately, because he’s backed himself into a corner over his treatment of his last successful coach who he had been unable to adequately replace
Genoa holds Inter to a draw in Genoa, an optimistic start to the season. It has been a few years since a genuinely good title race happened in Serie A.
Weird goal for Torino in that, a failed goalline clearing that became an own goal. What was weird about it was it was pretty clearly in but the automatic technology failed.
Szczęsny just announced his retirement at 34. There was questions about what was going on with him when Juve agreed to cancel contract of their undisputed #1 earlier this summer and so we’re now seeing why. He says his heart is just not in it anymore and doesnt want to put himself through another season.
Inter ruining what looked like an interesting early season match against Atalanta with 2 goals in less than 10 minutes. Bit of a message for the rest of the league.
Milan just haven’t been able to stop the powerhouse that is Nuno Tavares down this left side, overlapped twice and twice provided simple balls across for the Lazio forwards to score.
