The fire of anger slowly dies down. San Siro’s violet head and tail fueled debate in the city and beyond. The accolades do not implement the ranking, but Fiorentina still collected flattering judgments from the rest of Italy. They liked her performance in Milan more than that of Inter. The Nerazzurri won because in the end they overturned their overwhelming quality by taking advantage of the resources of the bench. Fiorentina lost because of their mistakes, but in football the one who makes the fewest mistakes wins and if you make the least, it means that you are stronger. No wonder then. Just one emphasis: frankly, this rule of five changes seems to be far from being a football identity idea. The sport had never anticipated a whirlwind of substitutions – in fact, in the past, they weren’t even planned for a long time. Three shifts already seem like the maximum due. They are capable of profoundly affecting the trajectory of a breed as long as they know how to use them effectively. Five innings is huge, modifying the formation of the players on the move by 50 percent. This rule is the triumph of injustice. In football, democracy is a fleeting concept, but here we are faced with the dictatorship of the rich against the less favored. Who has a large and qualitatively heavy team makes the difference. Those who don’t have it are at a dramatic disadvantage. How can you not understand this?
After the confinement he had a logic: it was necessary to end the season, at an atypical juncture, with equatorial heat and athletes at risk due to lack of preparation after the long period of inactivity, almost three months. The five changes came to the rescue of the health of the players and the work of their coaches. It was unfair even then, but the motivation showed. Not today. Now it is too big a gift for Juventus and Inter, especially. Then also for the others, who are not many and in any case less equipped than the Bianconeri and Nerazzurri. A rule to be abolished.
Iachini was criticized for having removed Chiesa and Ribéry: but the former asked for substitutions because he was alarmed by a muscular discomfort, as the viola technician said after the race. While the second had been forcefully touched on the operated ankle and felt pain. As a champion he gritted his teeth, knowing him could have finished the game, but from the bench they saw him in slight difficulty. Yesterday, incidentally, Chiesa and Ribéry were at rest and their conditions must be assessed calmly: the game against Sampdoria will be on Friday, for now both should be considered in doubt. We’ll see. For the love of God, Iachini’s readings can be disputed, but the sequence of Conte’s movements – including in the second half of Hakimi, Sensi, Nainggolan, Vidal and Sánchez – testifies to the inequality of values in favor of the Nerazzurri. With all due respect to Borja, Vlahovic, Lirola and Cutrone, who in turn entered the field. Even Lazio, for example, a team from the group of aspiring Scudetto, dreams of a squad like Inter.
If we don’t just focus on the result, San Siro’s performance sent convincing signals for Fiorentina. The line-up is stronger than last year, it has good antibodies and it has shown it: the defense, the suffered poker network, is solid and the midfield has depth. We see that in the training Iachini works in depth. What is missing then? The same product we’ve been talking about for months: a bomber. Yes, an experienced striker in confidence with the goal. An added value for teammates to play better. Kouame, Cutrone and Vlahovic will become quality points, but for now we need heavy artillery. At least a dozen scoring chances have been lost in two games. The script has been repeated for years, this is the haunting side of the story. Precisely because Fiorentina gave us excellent feelings, the opportunity to grow immediately should not be wasted. Purple executives must believe in it because the way to get short-term satisfaction is there. It is about making precise choices so as not to macerate in regrets: it is useless to postpone until tomorrow what could come today. Piatek is always available even if an investment of approximately 40 million is required between the card and the commitment. Mandzukic would also be there, but the salary is five stars even if it costs nothing.
A decisive week for the market begins also because it will be the last: the rumors about Chiesa have been heard again. Juventus expect Douglas Costa to attack Federico, but Fiorentina is asking for 70 million. In any case, the profile of any technical counterpart must be verified. A complex story that now comes to life. It is not ruled out that in the end Chiesa may also remain in Florence, but if on the contrary Fiorentina left, they would have to instantly look for an alternative to Federico, an attacking winger. Alley could be an interesting idea. The Spaniard has said goodbye to Napoli, he is 33 years old and is looking for the best offer. High salary, this is little but safe, but a lot of experience. Difficult operation, but not impossible. Market drafts also speak of an interest in the Spanish Deulofeu, now in force at Watford. Pradè moves in several tables and does it well: if the sale of Chiesa matures in the photo-auction of the transfer market, the purple club should have the alternative prepared, otherwise there would be problems. The weather doesn’t help, October 5 isn’t far off. Then the market will talk about it again in winter.
