AS Roma lost 0-1 at the Stadio Olimpico to Lazio. It can be said that the defeat was not the result that Jose Mourinho wanted, who was trying to get into the top 4 position.
After trailing by 1 goal in the 29th minute, AS Roma had a chance to equalize, but they couldn't.
That is a balanced match and Lazio won by a bad mistake from Ibanez. If Roma win it, they will take over the second position from Atalanta but in fact they lost it.
Roma again stand outside of top four but the season is still long enough for them to come back. There is one more match before the World Cup and Roma don't have too many international players who will have to play in the World Cup. The 1 month break from the World Cup will be very useful for Mourinho to strengthen the team.
We are talking about 10 points difference between Juve and Napoli but the points difference regarding the others aren't that high. 1 round could make Juve in the third place or push it in the 8th position.
Juve next game will be vs Verona which is supposed to be easy and the last match for this year will be vs Lazio which is challenging especially that Lazio beat Roma in today's game.
This is a weird season as many teams are standing closely from the second to eighth positions on the table. Even Napoli are not safe, if they lose 2 matches, their difference on the table can be reduced a lot. AC Milan, Atalanta and other clubs will be able to catch Napoli.
About Juventus, Max and his players did a great job to beat Inter Milan. This win can help Max to secure his job at least a few matches after the World Cup. Juventus actually are not too far from top four and this can be a hope for Max to maintain his job at the end of season too. If Juventus finish this season in top four, no reason to sack Max.
