Indeed, the match at Sansiro that a fair result because that way we saw that no one was embarrassed in this match. but I'm sure there are a lot of people who lost their bets in this match because there are certainly not a few people who are backing Inter and there are certainly not a few people who are backing Milan in this match, but for those who bet on a draw, of course that's good luck. but of course it was a shame that in that match Inter couldn't get revenge when they were defeated by Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana match, so of course some people, especially Inter supporters, want to see Inter get revenge in this match, but of course here, Sergio Conceicao, he already knows what to do. he did this when facing attacks from Inter and in the end his plan certainly paid off because Milan did not lose, but of course even though the results were not satisfactory, of course it was better than losing.

But yes, I was also impressed with Inter who were able to reply to Milan's goal and of course, even though Milan's defense was strong, by continuing to try, it finally produced good results and of course Milan didn't embarrass them. but yes, fortunately Napoli also a draw against Roma and of course now Inter only needs to focus on the next match against Fiorentina and of course in that match Inter must win if they want to win the trophy again this season. and of course now the difference in points between Napoli and Inter is only 3 points, so of course in the Fiorentina match against Inter, Napoli will definitely expect Inter to lose because it will definitely be a big threat for Napoli if Fiorentina loses to Inter.

Definitely horrible week for Napoli. Inter has very little games where they would lose points like this. I honestly expected them to have something much worse, but we are not seeing that at the moment, we should be considering this as a different method and can't really consider this getting any worse at all. I get that it may not be all that great at the moment to feel bad because Inter still failed, but Napoli should have beaten Roma by ease, not even a remotely close situation between both teams and yet somehow Napoli still managed to drop two points there.

I am guessing that the best thing to do in this case right now is the fact that Napoli will face Inter if I am not wrong, and in that game I am sure that Napoli will know the importance. Inter is about to play that extra game, and I am sure they will beat Fiorentina, when that happens Inter and Napoli will be tied for points. Napoli has to do better than this, there is no reason why they should get a tie against a team like AS Roma, not this season.

There are no major changes because both teams that are competing fiercely in the fight for the Scudetto this season achieved a draw and that is also a natural thing because Inter Milan and Napoli are both against strong teams, regardless of what happens this season but Roma and AC Milan are top Serie A teams that should be taken into account and they have proven that they can hold a draw against a top team.
For now, the competition in the fight for the Scudetto is very fierce and Inter Milan and Napoli are strong candidates but it is not impossible that there are several other teams that enter the competition because so far the points of several teams at the top of the standings do not have a significant difference.

If there is going to be a team that comes close to winning the CL from the Serie A it's going to be Inter in the next few years, not Juventus nor Milan, they simply lack what it takes on too many levels while in case of Inter is just improving, that could be achievable n the right context.
As for the others, like Napoli and Atalanta, no, they are Serie A material, not international matches material.

Is clear is that the draw is not about whether it is deserved or not but because they are lucky and when Napoli really performs optimally Roma will even finds it difficult to get draw, neither team benefits and luck for Napoli because Inter Milan also got the same result.
I don't believe Roma will be able to occupy the top four at the end of the season, being able to occupy 6th place to get conference league ticket which is currently occupied by Fiorentina is already good achievement for Roma.

You are right, currently Roma is still in 9th place in Serie A. This is of course still far from good for Roma. Because usually Roma is always able to compete in the top 5 in Serie A. Therefore, celebrating excessively over the draw against Napoli could be said to be inappropriate. Because in essence, Roma still has a lot of work to do this season, especially in terms of improving its performance. Therefore, Roma should not be satisfied with the draw they achieved against Napoli. Because if they are too satisfied now, and feel that their performance is already good, the impact is that they will definitely not want to develop even better. Moreover, if for example Roma suffers another defeat in the next match, I think this will make the Roma players' mentality lower compared to before. So now Roma doesn't need to celebrate their victory excessively. However, they celebrated simply and most importantly, Roma used the draw against Napoli as motivation to make them even better.

Because currently Roma has a match schedule that can be said to be still busy. Because Roma also has a play-off match schedule in the European League and its opponents in the play-off round can also be said to be quite strong. Because in the play off round Roma will face Porto. We all know that Porto is not an ordinary team. Because in the Portuguese league, Porto is now ranked third in the standings. For this reason, instead of overly celebrating a draw, it would be better for Roma to just focus on the match. Because this match will be very decisive for Roma to qualify for the round of 16 in the European League (UEL).

There is not much pressure that Roma might put on when facing Napoli and I see Roma tending to play safe to get a draw. But that did not work for Napoli in targeting full points because Napoli actually had a little difficulty in finishing the chances to score. On the other hand, the result of the match did not have much influence because Inter Milan themselves as their strong challengers also got a draw when facing AC Milan so this did not give a big loss to Napoli or Inter Milan themselves in the match.

However, Napoli has done their best in the match, initially they had been ahead since the first half and they almost maintained the advantage until the end even withstanding many attacks from the opponent but it turned out that in the minutes of added time Roma was able to reply with 1 goal to equalize and Napoli could not score additional goals with the remaining time so they had to be satisfied with this draw at least the top 3 clubs got a draw so the competition between these 3 clubs is still very tight.

Lazio is quite solid in top four of Serie A and they shown their strong mentality to stay at the fourth position under big pressure of Juventus recent weeks. This position, last one in top four, is a favorite and most achievable position for any club that are chasing top four because three above positions that are held by Napoli, Inter Milan and Atalanta are farther and less reachable.

Lazio already shown their ability to defend their fourth position under pressure latest weeks, but their fight will continue in 15 more matches, and other clubs will not easily leave that valuable position for Lazio at the season ending.

Roma played well and deserved a draw against Napoli, but this draw can not help them to improve their points and rank in Serie A. Roma have 11 points less than Lazio, and above Roma there are many clubs too but they will not give up their fight to have a fourth position or at least higher rank in Serie A too early. With 15 matches left in Serie A, AS Roma can do many more things, improvements, get more points and a higher rank than their current one.

Lazio remains a difficult opponent for Cagliari, because Cagliari very often get defeated when playing against Lazio whether it's a home match or away. Although the average score that Lazio got when beating Cagliari was not a big score, but Lazio was very consistent in beating Cagliari. But even so, at least Cagliari, who is currently in the bottom zone of the standings, is also still able to play well but yes, unfortunately Cagliari is still  not strong enough to be able to beat Lazio. At least, the 4th position of the standings is a race for three teams namely Lazio, Juventus and Fiorentina who still have a great chance to be in fourth  position, but they are difficult to maintain that position because they are not so successful in maintaining consistent performance.

Roma deserved a draw with their unrestrained pressure at the end of the match and their great desire, while Napoli was just trying to keep the winning score technically, and his majesty football often punishes for this. This does not detract from the fact that Napoli is Inter's main competitor for the Scudetto, although the team seems to have lost a player like Kvaratskhelia, around whom Antonio Conte wanted to form the team, but as we can see, they are still coping without the Georgian player.

I already knew this game won't be an easy match for relegation threatened Cagliari to defeat their Italian counterpart Lazio regardless of their position in league and their efforts to fight and to try to move out of the relegation zone, whereas Lazio is a way stronger opponent team who are doing everything possible to remain in the top 4 flight to have the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League next season, so the game was indeed a crucial one for both sides, and what decides the outcome of a game hugely relies on your strength and tactical system of play, and which we saw the result and all 3 points went Lazio's direction.

Yeah, Cagliari are fighting off going to Seria B as they are just one position and one point off the relegation zone, I can really understand how badly they need this win to stay afloat and on the other hand, Lazio itself too needs a win to be in the Champions League zone. The match was a win win for both teams both in football, there's only one outcome in a match. Lose, win or draw. Only one outcome of the three can happen at a time.

Napoli couldn't even find a proper position in the match. Roma was the effective team throughout the match and managed to draw the match with a beautiful goal in extra time. Napoli may have a better squad but Roma showed with the way they played that they shouldn't be underestimated. Roma was the side that played the ball better and went on the offensive against Napoli. In my opinion, they should have at least drawn the match and they actually got what they deserved.

Cagliari is giving more importance to the match because they are in the relegation zone. Lazio is ahead but Cagliari is also trying. An important match in Italy for both teams. There are 10 minutes left and if the match ends like this, the risk of being in the relegation zone will continue for Cagliari. Lazio continues to fight for the Champions League. They are competing with Juventus for fourth place.

Cagliari Vs Lazio is currently at 2 - 1 in favour of Lazio. That Castellanos strike in the 62nd minute put the visitors in front again. As it stands, Lazio is in 4th position displacing Juventus will they maintain this lead till full time or will the settle for draw?

Napoli failed to get all 3 points following the1:1 draw they played out against AS Roma, Napoli deserved victory in the game because of their good display and better performance but seeing how AS Roma was able to get a draw against Napoli shows the improvement in the team despite their inconsistent performance in the league. AS Roma may even get a bad result in their next game if they play against a team that matches their energy, Napoli wouldn't have played a 1:1 draw if not because of their over confidence in the game knowing that they have a better squad than Roma.

I thought has much too that Napoli will be comfortable in that top since Inter have end the match in draw which was a narrow escape for them because the goal came in the extra time which is very dangerous sometimes. Napoli refused to capitalise on that draw as an advantage for them instead they finished draw too. This was so annoying when I saw the results. Roma have been getting better but not to this extent to stop Napoli, they really have to get themselves a shape striker that will pull out more goals for them because if they have scored more goals this will not affect them. They is not difference on the top, let see how their next match will be.

Roma full strength football team played very excellent in last match and that team draw the match against Napoli football team and whole credit goes to the Tasende because he did goal at the last minutes of the match. He did goal when his team requirement was only 1 goal and he did goal at 92 minutes of the match and that team got 1 point in this match. Spinazzola did first goal of the match and at 90 minutes of the play , match was in the side of Napoli full strength football team but Tasende changed the side of match. The stats of both teams was equal because both teams played with equal strength. Roma team shots were more which were 12 in this match and 2 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was also good because that team possession was 52 percent and pass es of that team were more in number which were 483.

Beşiktaş sent Cher Ndour back to PSG, as they had signed him on loan without a purchase option. PSG then loaned him to Fiorentina, who will have the option to buy him for 5 million Euro at the end of the season. Beşiktaş didn't include a purchase option in their deal, but it seems that PSG has lowered their expectations for him. He didn't get much playing time at Beşiktaş, and when he did, he didn't perform at a high level. It's questionable how successful he will be at Fiorentina, as Serie A is a physically demanding league. I don't think he has star potential, but he could become an average rotation player.
Fiorentina also loaned Zaniolo from Galatasaray. His purchase option is 15.5 million Euro plus 2 million bonuses.
