I am the anti-Inter
Napoli-Milan after the break
Leao is recharging at Milanello, and Conte goes on holiday.
Pio growls
Kean-Retegui to start, but Esposito is at the top. Italy recover Bastoni and Mancini, Chiesa goes. The CT: ‘We are not a bunch of nobodies.’
Chivu’s order: never again without Lautaro
Diao, Yildiz, Vaz: fourth place? A child’s play
Corriere dello Sport
Marotta’s shield
The president takes excuses off the table: ‘We must not act as victims.’
‘Stronger than referees.’
‘Inter are first at +6, no psychodrama.’
‘All clubs complain, at the end of the season, favourable and unfavourable incidents get balanced. We are in a regression phase, but nobody would ever expect this advantage.’ The algorithm keeps saying Chivu: Italy champion at 89%.
Vlahovic and Milik: Lucio’s weapons
Roma, silences and issues of Gasp

‘Italy deserves joy.’
The CT: ‘A chance to live with lighthartedness, no stress.’ Chiesa out, Cambiaghi called up. From Bastoni to Mancini. Doubts in defence, Kean-Retegui in attack.

Here’s who Spalletti votes for
Rudiger is the first in the list of targets. Elkann: ‘Juve? We don’t give up.’
Understand, lads?
Gattuso: ‘We are not a bunch of nobodies.’
On Thursday, against Northern Ireland, the first play-off to return to the World Cup after 12 years and avoid another blow for Italian football. The coach touches the Azzurri’s pride: ‘They’ve won titles and played finals, I want them to be focused, but I won’t stress them. I’ve picked Bergamo for its cauldron-like atmosphere.’ Chiesa gives up, Cambiaghi arrives.
Gasp, a silence that makes noise
Como show, yes, but what a defence!
Toro, Martin breaks through on the left, but half the team might leave.
