Roma-Napoli 1-1. AC Milan. Keeping promises.

Ranieri's reliability is also seen in the rationality of what he promises and how he manages the team. He doesn't make high-sounding promises. Not even now that Roma has started to win. He didn't even make them in Leicester when there were just a few points missing from the mathematical certainty of the scudetto.

Roma has several commitments (Europa League, Coppa Italia and Serie A) and it is normal that rotations must be made. Playing those who play less and minimizing the damage is a very difficult task, but it can be said that against Napoli, first in the standings, Roma succeeded.

Unlike Ranieri, politicians, many of whom would sell their mothers to be elected or to keep a command post, are capable of promising the unbelievable, which often makes the situation worse. For example, Netanyahu promised total victory. But what the fuck does that mean?

If total victory means killing all two million (or so) Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, it is simply not possible. Just as it is not possible to deport them to other Arab countries. The main road is the one our friend Donald wants, that is, dialogue and peace.

Violence only breeds more violence. Hatred only breeds more hatred. And in fact, Israeli bombs have led to a strengthening of Hamas, which Netanyahu said he wanted to fight. To normalize relations, Israel must release Palestinian politicians who are open to dialogue and peace, like Barghuthi, with whom it is easier to find peace.

The Master of Peace in Palestine is Donald. I am as grateful to Donald for the peace of Palestine as I am confused by his moves on world finance. In fact, Donald shoots high at the beginning of his mandate not only to please his electorate, but also because it starts negotiations. Today, with Wall Street in sharp decline, he has already changed his words

Europe cannot be found late in these fast times. It is right that Europe does not raise the tone of the conflict and in the same way it is right to speak of a European State as the great Mario Draghi said. The divisions of Europe have already done too much damage.

Along with a strong European policy, we need funds for competitiveness. It must find the strength to be on par with China and the USA. From Greece we draw the origins of democracy and freedom and that is what Europe must represent in the world: peace, democracy and freedom.

Napoli has the same colors as Greece (like Lazio) and this year it can aim for the Scudetto. It is a strong team and Roma faced it with many players who had not started as starters for a long time. I have no reproaches to make neither to the coach, nor to the starters, nor to those who came in later. Even though we didn't win, we played very well.

Their goal was a small imperfection by Mancini (who Spinazzola overtook in the race) and by Svilar (who if he had stayed in goal would have avoided the lob by the full-back from Foligno), but well done to them. Against these teams of great quality, a small inaccuracy is enough, you go behind and it is difficult even to draw at home. In the Olimpico which is our home. Where we are used to always winning.

23rd Matchday Serie A	First Half	Second Half	Final Score

The equalizer came thanks to Angelino's goal in injury time. Once again decisive. If I can give a suggestion to our Neapolitan friends, it could be to put Spina more often as a left attacker, bringing David Neres back to his usual position as a right attacker. On the left, it is predictable that the Brazilian will go long on the wing to look for the cross.

Now we will go to San Siro to play the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia with many strong players who have rested. Milan has a lot of quality and at home they are even stronger, but they are not an impossible opponent. We play our game with our quality. We have a good chance of going to the semifinals.

AC Milan has many weapons. All very insidious. Let's look at them in detail.

Sergio Conceicao is more result-oriented than Fonseca, so he wants defensive attention and a more vertical attacking phase.

Against Inter, Sergio played with the 442 with Reijnders in the middle alongside Bennacer, who is usually the main playmaker, with Musah on the right wing and Pulisic in the attack alongside Abraham.

Leao is very strong in attack but a bit lazy in helping in defense.

Nella sessione di gennaio, il Milan ha acquistato: Kyle Walker (terzino destro di caratura internazionale), Gimenez (uno dei migliori centravanti al mondo che abbiamo già affrontato l’anno scorso quando giocava con il Feyenoord, di piede sinistro) e Sottil (ala sinistra col piede principale destro, più propenso ad aiutare in fase difensiva rispetto a Leao).

One of Claudio Ranieri's merits is not having promised anything. He always says, "Let's take it game by game. Instead, unscrupulous and immoral politicians promise the impossible, then they can't carry it out and backtrack like Netanyahu and Trump. Now we'll go to San Siro against a strong opponent who has further strengthened, but we can take home the semi-finals. Daje Roma!
