There will be 2 big matches tonight, namely the match:
* Juventus - AC Milan
* Atalanta - Napoli
Two big matches this week, one is a direct match between two Scudetto competitors and another direct match for top four competition between Juventus and AC Milan.
Napoli with their sale transfer of Kravatskhelia to PSG will have big problems in attacking system for this match and other matches in future. This transfer possibly brings a lot of damage to their attacking power and can cost them Scudetto in this season. With $72M from this transfer, Napoli can consider buying like 2 players to rebuild their squad, but winter transfer season is not good for any team with big changes in their squad.
Dybala was exceptional tonight, he showed more than his free-kick at the beginning of the match what kind of things he would do and he did it, there is nothing to say about his creativity, his individual skills are quite useful . Fourth home win in a row for Roma. İn this way, Roma started to show good signs of progress. Claudio Ranieri's Tactical Management is winning matches for Roma for now.
With Dybala, Roma have better creatitvity in their attacking operation, and without him they play very boring attacks. Dybala proves his importance with Roma attacking operation in three latest seasons and they are luckily to have him by a free transfer from Juventus years ago. After some drama, it seems Dybala found happiness again in Roma and he is enjoying his time with them, and his future will be decided next summer.
If that shot that Dybala made hadn't gone to the crossbar, but had gone in, it would have been a very beautiful goal. But even though Roma won that game and haven't lost in the last few games, I still think that Roma needs to improve a lot if they want to be a team capable of fighting for the title or for positions to access the European Champions League. In recent years, Roma has not managed to get to the European Champions League.
Roma won against Genoa, had 3 more points and it's their good attempt to aim at higher position in Serie A. They can not climb up too much now but match by match, if they continue playing well, getting more points, they will surely rank up on the league table in coming weeks. Champions League area (top four) is too far, but Roma can target at top 6, 7 to be eligible for either UEFA Conference League or Europa League next season.
