Is Mourinho extra surreal with the undeserved victory or Spalletti within the Napoli squad?
The post-match is a part of the present. Everybody performs their very own recreation. The one factor that issues is the consequence, and so they each comprehend it very effectively

What ought to Mourinho have mentioned after the sport? Go on TV and declare, “We’re kissing on the ground that is gone 1-0”? “I am very glad, the day earlier than I used to be positive to lose 4 or 5 to zero. Tomorrow with the crew we’ll all go to Pietrelcina to say thanks».
There are elements – many – that we discover obscure about the environment. Naples is first within the classification. He has gained eleven video games in a row. He broke Liverpool and Ajax. He has gained at dwelling in Milan, Lazio and Rome. It’s the first of the Champions group. It’s the first within the league. But we at all times appear to hunt affirmation from the skin. A persistent insecurity that then pushes us to defend the indefensible as the most disorganized tennis tournament in the West.
However why are we so all for Mourinho’s phrases? It is so apparent – Alfonso Fasano explained it with unsurpassed clarity – that Roma couldn’t have performed otherwise final night time. It will have been insanity to conform to play overtly in opposition to Napoli. We might have identified the primary case within the historical past of a soccer match suspended because of the apparent inferiority of the opponent. Irrati ought to have requested to combine the groups: “Excuse me sir, can we offer you Raspadori? You realize, it is on the bench, what do you do with it? Can they take Mario Rui too? Do not inform me something, however the public has paid.”
To keep away from this actually humiliating scene, Mourinho defended himself. Sure, he defended himself. It is nonetheless not a criminal offense. He performed with the favored bus. Slightly about Osimhen, just a little about Kvaratskhelia, just a little about Lobotka (and he really solely hit 44 balls). It is known as sport. An try and cease the stronger opponent known as. All this could make us proud. In addition to Karsdorp who stirred the general public within the twelfth minute. We had been and are the opponent to beat. We’re the strongest. What can we declare? Allow them to come as much as us and say: please come, we’ll allow you to win? There was a second in Naples once we had been proud to have pressured Actual Madrid right into a free-kick. It is the identical, solely this time we’re Actual Madrid and the others are the provincials.
We see for ourselves that Napoli deserved it, that Meret didn’t should intervene. However Mourinho should maintain the morale of the troops excessive. The Roma coach is being paid to not pay tribute to Napoli’s greatness.
Naples that gained in Rome yesterday with out Anguissa, with out Rrahmani, with out Raspadori (on the bench), with out Mario Rui (on the bench) with Lobotka who touched solely 44 balls. and so it wasn’t actually on the coronary heart of the sport. The final regulation that reigned in Naples was: with out Anguissa and Lobotka, Napoli doesn’t exist. Then we go to Rome with out Anguissa and with Lobotka who hits 44 balls and wins 1-0. amen
Final night time we praised Spalletti. He deserved it. deserved He went forward together with his concepts, together with his recreation plan. Osimhen stayed on the pitch as a result of that was how he thought concerning the recreation. As he did with Spezia with Raspadori. As a result of he understood that he has a really sturdy crew and he’s blowing them away. As a result of phrases are carried by the wind and people phrases about “our recreation” are issues of the eve. Napoli performed yesterday as the good groups do. He learn the moments of the match. You’ll be able to’t at all times play the identical method. it is boring There is no such thing as a different phrase. And Spalletti opened his coronary heart to us final night time when he responded to Caressa’s invitation to Sky to be a visitor within the Sky lounge through the World Cup break. “So that you inform us about your soccer,” Caressa mentioned. And Spalletti replied: “My soccer? Soccer belongs to everybody”. We felt like Mario Brega when his daughter requested him to go shoe buying in Through Veneto.
Earlier than, nevertheless, Luciano had just a little disappointment in retailer for us. He had simply crushed Roma with out Anguissa, with out Rrahmani (and all those that have already commented, we do not need to bore you) after which he launched the next assertion: “We nonetheless have papers with out the double, numerically it’s the final one. course Whenever you make these variations, you additionally take the others, all of them have a 23-24 participant roster that you may draw on. Can we need to see these of the Milanese, of Juve and of Rome itself? When you win, the squad is extra full, however tonight in midfield I wanted somebody with just a little extra physicality.”
Come on, is he actually complaining concerning the crew? The whole lot is perfectable for charity. No one desires to belittle Spalletti’s work (and no person does), however the squad seems very respectable. So do we want an even bigger one in midfield? If it is an emergency, do it in January. So long as we do not create one other “Grassi e Regini” case. It’s clear that there is no such thing as a different strongman like Lobotka on the bench. In any other case, there can be no holders or reserves. Spalletti principally performs the identical recreation as Mourinho. It does its job. He hides In contrast to the Portuguese, it retains the morale of the atmosphere low. As a result of he is aware of that if he finishes second within the league and within the quarter-finals of the Champions League in Naples, he will probably be crucified like final yr. He is proper, he is proper to promote (to not the workforce however to the atmosphere) however no quantity of statements will cease the madness hatching below tube stations ready for trains to go (new huh in fact).
And so maybe we also needs to give much less significance to the phrases of coaches who aren’t heads of state in any case (we wrote about it here, no more dictatorship of their egos). Soccer is a lie. It’s true for each Mourinho and Spalletti. And for everybody else. The one factor that issues is the rating. And the rating. And Mourinho and Spalletti know this very effectively. The remaining is the present. It’s Odeon: everything is a show.
