With the league on hold, it’s time for Serie A’s twenty coaches to get to work, making the most of the break and putting an even stronger stamp on their respective squads. 🧤 Juventus, two names for Vicario’s backup Grabara’s serious injury has reopened the goalkeeper emergency at Juventus . With the transfer window closed, the Bianconeri hierarchy is considering moving immediately through the free-agent market, as also confirmed by Spalletti : “ If we find something we like, we can go and get it without waiting for January .” Among the profiles being considered, according to TuttoJuve , are Neto and Sergio Rico , both currently without a contract. The 37-year-old Brazilian already knows the Bianconeri environment, having played in Turin from 2015 to 2017, while the Spaniard has experience with Sevilla, Fulham and PSG. Juventus are also evaluating other alternatives, including Alessio Cragno , Jasper Cillessen, Bruno Varela and Vicente Guaita. ⚡️ Milan, Cardinale applauds Amorim Gerry Cardinale commented on Milan’s situation after the opening matches of the season, praising the work of Ruben Amorim and the team: “ They were among the best 90 minutes of football we’ve seen. I want to congratulate Ruben and our players for continuing to fight in these first few matches before the international break .” The Rossoneri owner then stressed the need to give the new project time: “ A new coach, with a new style of play and new players, will need time to find the right chemistry .” Cardinale finally thanked the Milan fans for the support shown during this transitional phase, reiterating the goal of taking the club back to the top. 😰 Inter, forget the Premier League! How much the English are struggling... The break comes at the right time for Cristian Chivu , who hopes to fully recover the three English players who arrived during the summer. Stones still has to shake off a left hamstring issue, Curtis Jones is still searching for top form, while Djed Spence has not even made his Inter debut yet. Three different situations, but one common objective: to use the next few weeks to have everyone available again when the league resumes, starting with the clash against Parma on 10 October. Stones, who arrived on a free transfer after ten years at Manchester City, has played just 62 minutes alongside Akanji , while Spence is continuing his reconditioning work after his move from Tottenham. Jones, meanwhile, is the one with the most playing time: 152 minutes in four appearances , including starts against Real Madrid and Roma. Chivu continues to count on the midfielder, as he does on the other two fellow countrymen: the goal is for the break to finally allow the English trio to show all their value in Nerazzurri colours. 🗣️ Napoli, ADL preaches calm According to Corriere dello Sport , Aurelio De Laurentiis has for days held a clear belief about Napoli’s current moment: the Azzurri’s real season could begin after the break. Allegri’s team’s start is described as still lacking a definitive identity, with consistency yet to be found and performances that only come alive in patches. The president is therefore expecting a change of pace in terms of temperament and intensity , aspects considered necessary to approach duels with greater force and secure results. The break could therefore become an important moment for Allegri to work with the team and find the consistency that has so far been missing. 💪 Roma, a deep squad is needed for the Scudetto You have to go back 54 years , to 5 November 1972, to find Roma and Lazio together at the top of Serie A after five matchdays. Back then, Inter and Milan were there too, all on 8 points in a league still using the two-points-for-a-win system. Today history repeats itself, and the Capital derby is once again giving both Rome clubs a shared dream. The numbers confirm a high-level start to the season: Roma have the second-best defence in Serie A with just 3 goals conceded and the second-best attack with 14 goals. The Giallorossi also rank second for interceptions, completed passes ( 2,359 ), successful crosses ( 31 ), shots on target ( 103 ) and big chances created ( 23 ), trailing only Inter in all these categories. To dream of the Scudetto against this Inter side, though, numbers alone are not enough: Gasp needs to deepen the squad and will therefore use the break to try to bring all the backup players into the rotation. 🔙 Lazio, two returns after the break! After the win in Venice , Rino Gattuso gave Lazio five days off. The team will return to training on Friday in Formello, with good news from the treatment room: Dele-Bashiru and Marusic should rejoin the group, while Rovella will need a few more days. The midfielder, however, is still expected to resume regular training during the break. Absent, instead, will be the eight players called up by their respective national teams : Frattesi, Sutalo, Nuno Tavares, Mandas, Isaksen, Provstgaard, Gudmundsson and Taylor . The week’s schedule also includes a friendly: Lazio will face Arezzo on Sunday at 3 p.m. in Formello, thus closing the first part of the international break. 👀 Fiorentina, Dragusin’s self-criticism After the draw against Napoli , Dragusin spoke to DAZN , underlining Fiorentina’s growth: “ It was a very difficult match against a strong team, but we were compact and aggressive too, and we managed the key moments well. We’re starting to become a strong team that’s difficult to face .” Dragusin also spoke about the team’s development and Vanoli’s work: “ I’m very self-critical, I watched all the matches again to understand where I could have done more .” According to the defender, the coach is insisting above all on commitment, running and team spirit , asking everyone to help their teammate. Work that, according to Dragusin, is beginning to turn into more convincing performances and results. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
