If it was one team that I didn't expect Ac.Milan to not lose to is Monza and they just did that while taking a red card , 4 goals and not a lot of chances to score even if they scored twice... . I also expected them to play more determined especially after Juventus managed to make only a draw yesterday and created a chance for teams like Milan , Atalanta and even Roma.

Monza really destroyed AC Milan, and Milan was not a very stable team this season anyway, but I can say that such a defeat was heavy for Milan. Maybe this defeat is to wake them up a little. Monza deservedly won this match and they gave more than Milan.

At the end of the match, mutual goals were scored one after the other, and Monza was the winner of those minutes and the overall winner of the match. The last part of the match was decisive.

Congratulations for Roma because they had just return to the winning ways after beat Frosinone today that i can see De Rossi did a rotation for Roma squad because some players just like Smalling or Pellegrini were starting the match from the bench even if i am not mistaken De Rossi didn't play Dybala and i can understand about these rotation because Roma has tight schedules this week because after this match Roma has important match against Feyenoord in Europa league so De Rossi have to ensure all of Roma key players in the good fitness before that match

Roma actually slightly under pressure in the first half because Frosinone can able to threaten their defensive lines several times but playing with some of reserved players didn't makes Roma weak because some of reserved players just like Huijsen and Azmoun also were able to performing well especially Mile Svilar that this season he only played twice in Serie A but he can showing fantastic performance and today i have seen Svilar did several saves which makes Roma defensive lines is still secured until end of the match and currently Roma has 41 points they only have 4 difference points below to Atalanta which is the team from top 4 position

Frosinone Calcio 0 - 3 AS Roma

This was a game in which Roma had been seen as favorites to win, in the last 4 games Roma had only lost one game, which was the game against Milan, who are the current leader of the table and with the greatest chance of becoming champions. and roma played very well against inter, they made some mistakes in defense but the roma coach showed that he is very attentive and in this game he changed the goalkeeper and a defender, I think it was a good move because with that he removed the defensive weakness and In this game, Roma did not concede any goals and were very good in attack to the point that they managed to score 3 goals, with this victory Roma are in position 6 and continue to hope to get a place in the European Champions League and I hope that Roma get this job



SS Lazio 1 - 2 Bologna FC 1909

This is a game that was very funny for me, because before the game started I was thinking about betting on Bologna to win the game, then I forgot the time the game started and when I remembered the game had already started and the Bologna was losing, but I said to myself that even with Lazio winning, I didn't change my mind and I'm going to bet on Bologna to win the game and I bet on Bologna, the odds were 4.00 if Bologna won the game and I continued watching the game until Bologna tied the game and I became even more optimistic that Bologna would win the game and that's what happened, Bologna won the game. this season bologna is having a good campaign



I Cashed Out when I realized that I had already won more than 3x, I won with an odd of 3.49, there is not much difference with 4.15, the most important thing was to preserve my profit

well, milan lost in a very humiliating way, the milan coach rotated players because he was saving players for the next game in the european champions league, but this strategy was very ridiculous, they lost the game and lost 1 player. As Milan no longer has a chance in the fight for the title, from what I see their focus now is just on staying in the top 4 and getting far in the European Champions League, perhaps this is the best option for them. but even so they have a lot of advantage in the second leg game, so they could very well have played with their best players from the beginning of the game

That's right, Roma have only lost once since being handled by a new coach but that is not enough to prove his ability as a great coach because as we know the teams that were defeated were weak teams that were below the top 10 in the standings so we consider this wins normal for Roma. De Rossi can be relied on as a coach if he can beat Feyenoord in the Europa League in the second leg well that's the right time to prove his abilities. Another mission is to bring Roma to finish in the top 5 this season, displacing Bologna.

Update: This ended in a loss. I really had faith in this Milan team to win. Juventus dropped points yesterday and I was really hoping that Milan would take advantage of that and win today or grind out a bare minimum ~ a draw. But tonight was not their night.

After this weekend, I think that now more than ever that Inter will win the Scudetto this season and there's nothing Milan ir Juve can do about it even they win their remaining matches because Inter might lose points but not enough with less games remaining with each passing game.

Milan's next game is against Atalanta so another tight fixture. Really hoped they'd win Monza today but it was not to be.

Rossi seem to have been lucky with his team as ever since he assumed the position of the head coach, he has been have much more better results than they which the previous coach in the person of Jose Mourinho had and so it's very okay to think that those who criticized him all along were right to have criticized him that way.

Mourinho wasn't a bad coach either just that his personality was such that he wouldn't be using the regular tactical approach of any team so it's not very okay to just see him as a bad coach because another coach took over and things were not same as they were when he left. Mourinho also had his good times too when the team performed so well under his leadership but just like every other team they experienced some hard times and than it became a point of criticism.

Another unexpected result this week in Serie A, after Juventus draw yesterday and today we see Milan defeated by Monza. Milan wasted a big opportunity to take over the 2nd position in the standing from Juventus. These unexpected results is a big advantage for Inter obviously because they are now leading with 9 points + 1 match behind, so it can be 12 points ahead. With the consistency of Inter and inconsistency of the 2 closest competitors, I can say that Inter has won the Scudetto already. The only one that may make Inter failed to stay and keep the 1st position will be themselves.  

It is absolutely not going to happen.Juventus drawing,Milan losing and Inter Milan winning 4-0 shows exactly the supremacy during all this season of Inter Milan.This supremacy is further confirmed by the power of Inter in winning both direct head to head games against Milan and Juventus and there is no team who can challenge them right now.They are thinking much more of the Champions League road map right now rather than Serie A which they already considered this title in their pocket as simply there is no other team capable of facing them and winning more than they have done.Just two days from now and we will see the real power of Inter Milan against Atletico Madrid in Champions League.

Napoli has not been performing as I expected them to this season. In fact, Napoli was one of the promising clubs that I thought would perform outstandingly this season. However, due to their inconsistency, which I believe is caused by the entire management team, including the manager, they have encountered some setbacks. It's not that Napoli is not performing at all, but their performance has not been as good as it was initially. This is why they have continued to drop down in the table and are not among the top teams or even in the top three, as they were before.

I think the issue stems from their internal divisions among players. There are players who have been performing exceptionally well, putting in their best efforts to ensure victories for the club. However, in the end, they are not being celebrated as they should be, possibly because they belong to different racial or ethnic groups. I believe this happened to players like Victor Osimhen, who were performing excellently for Napoli before encountering issues with the team and considering leaving. These internal issues are concerning for Napoli.

Monza has completely blown AC Milan away. It's Monza 4 and AC Milan 2. Milan had almost made a perfect comeback to 2-2 even when they were reduced to 10 men only for Monza to add 2 more goals in the dying minutes of the game.

It is Inter Milan's title to lose.

I'm taking DC bet for Milan at current odds.


Rationale:

Inter extended their lead this weekend while Juventus lost points yesterday. Milan would need a win here in order to go to the 2nd position. It's the ideal moment to capture the second post. I expect Milan to regroup here and come back fighting in the second to possibly collect all 3 points and stay on course.

Second reason? The juicy odds. People that placed bets in the premarket odds got in at much lower odds. So I'm essentially getting higher odds for the same selection. I hope my risks is rewards.  

2-0 for Monza after the 1st half against Milan.

Well Inter will have even an easier job now.

They played well in this match, but I want to appreciate the performance of their backline who looked more solid in this match, it's a good development that they can show.
AS Roma played more effectively in this match, they were able to score 3 goals and I think that's a good sign, although we can't look at just 1 match. But even though they won doesn't mean they don't have something to evaluate in this match. The highlight for me this time is their midfield which I think can work better. There is still time to be able to fix it all and hopefully they can fix it in the evaluation after this match.

 Napoli were going through a tough time and this prompted the call up of Mazarri. At his debut game, he did well to win, even though much is expected of him, he just shouldn't be blamed if up until now the team are struggling to be consistent in victories. At least they're not always loosing games. They've got some wins and some losses too. Even when they played away from home to Roma who were a better side too so definitely it'd have been difficult for them to win although a draw wouldn't have been much of a bad result.
 
 The Italian side recently haven't had good strides in their league tussles and it's effect is gradually going to be seen. They ought to cover up their lapses but they aren't having what it takes. It'll only cost them a lot if care isn't taking to repair these losses. There's no time left and their contests on the league tables are shaky, Mazarri has to find a way around his team to cushion the drastic effects of their recent performances.

I do not really get what exactly happened to them? I mean they were nearly ahead, and if they won that Inter game then they would be ahead, they lost 10 points in total from 4 games, that makes no sense at all. For a team that had much better results, like 52 points in 21 games, that's 2.47 per game, to just 2 points in the last 4 games.

There must be some fundamental issues at the club right now and that makes no sense to me at all. They may very well lose the second place as well if they keep this up, I have no idea if that will happen or not but it looks like it is a possibility. I believe that we should probably see them not do this badly anymore, there must be some recovery process where they start to win again and I hope that starts soon.

AS Roma still has the opportunity to finish in the top four of the standings and secure a ticket to the Champions League. De Rossi squad is four points behind Atalanta, and the opportunity to overtake them is very open, because there are still quite a lot of matches remaining. De Rossi must be able to find the right strategy to make his team consistent in the future, even though he still lacks experience, I think De Rossi will be able to shoulder the responsibility left by Jose Mourinho. AS Roma also has the opportunity to advance further in the Europa League, and it must be admitted that they have now improved a lot after being handled by De Rossi.

Gradually AS Roma will change for the better, with a different approach taken by De Rossi to his players, now the AS Roma squad has become more aggressive in the game. In the Mourinho era, AS Roma often played with a defensive style and relied on counter attacks, but De Rossi presence has made a difference, although not yet significant. In the next three matches, AS Roma will face teams that are weaker than them, it is a good opportunity for De Rossi to get closer AS Roma to the Champions League zone.

Jose Mourinho has been criticized in the past for not using Roma's squad well. Mourinho usually likes to play with defensive tactics. I thought he was over-criticized from time to time, but Roma's performance under De Rossi proved the critics of Mourinho right. The 4th place in the Italian Serie A is not yet decided. The teams that will finish the league among the top 3 are a bit more certain. But there is more than one candidate for the 4th place. And Roma under De Rossi could be one of them. I also like their recent performances.

Another win for De Rossi and Mou has been already forgotten.

The players likes him so he may stay next year too at this point.

For a young manager who's never managed a first team all his life, winning four of his first five games for his new club is a great performance and I think Daniele De Rossi deserves all the praise he's currently getting from the fans os AS Roma and the media.
Before Daniele De Rossi was appointed to replace Jose Mourinho at the club, I wasn't seeing them as a major contender to finish the season in the top four of the league table but considering their recent performances since De Rossi took over the managerial position at the club, I think AS Roma are a serious candidate to finish in the top four of the Italian Serie A at the end of the season. The truth is that the young manager have found the best playing pattern for the club and it's absolutely a joy to watch Roma play at the moment
