There were plenty of big talks in the rest of the round, while others that hadn't attracted much attention before were dramatic, making these two days the most exciting weekend of the Serie A season so far.

The first two big games on Saturday were a 2-1 win at home to the Blue Eagles to win the first leg of the Rome derby this season, and then league leaders Napoli also beat visiting AC Milan by the same score on their own home turf, cementing their lead in the table while pushing Montella on the cusp of the cliff to the edge of the cliff.

The reason why the White Dolphins were able to enjoy a good weekend was because of the unexpected loss of the defending champions Juventus, who had been chasing them closely. The Bianconeri visited Luigi Ferraris in this round, and they suddenly had a certain advantage in the first 50 minutes, and they suddenly collapsed at the back, and Sampdoria scored three goals in a row with a head kick. Although Gonzalo Higuain and Dybala scored a goal each in stoppage time, it was too late, with a 3-2 scoreline leaving Allegri's side to suffer their second defeat of the season and return to Turin with a bitter face.

The losing Old Lady was also overtaken by Inter Milan in third place in the standings, who regained second place in the league after a one-round gap thanks to a brace from Mauro Icardi's 2-0 home win over Atalanta, who had suffered a sharp drop in results this season.

Another game worth keeping an eye on is Benevento's home game against Sassuolo, who has been on a 12-game losing streak and has not been able to get out of the quagmire after a change of manager. A mistake by goalkeeper Brinoli gave Matri the chance to shoot into the empty net from close range and although they levelled the scores eight minutes later through striker Armenteros, right-back Letizia was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards in the 67th minute, leaving the hosts with 10 men remaining. However, Benevento's players showed extremely tenacious willpower and kept the draw until injury time, but the goddess of fate did not want to let them go, and something more demoralizing happened than an outright loss.

In the 91st minute, Sassuolo won a penalty opportunity, but Berardi kicked the ball off the post despite the noise of the fans, causing the home team to cheer unanimously, and the first Serie A point in the team's history was close at hand. But no one thought that there would be a turn in the script later, in the 94th minute, that is, at the last moment of injury time, Green Beibei made up for it, sent a key corner kick assist, Peruso scored a header in front of the goal to complete the kill, 1-2, and before the ball was placed in the midfield circle, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game. In this way, a defeat that set the record for the longest losing streak in Europe's top five leagues was born in the stunned eyes of many Benevento people, and it was really a rollercoaster ride.

After thirteen rounds of league games, Torino has 9 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses with 29 points, which should be said to be very good, ranking second in La Liga and the Premier League, but there are still three changes in front of them. state of the team. Napoli still have 35 points, Inter Milan 33 points and city rivals Juventus 31 points, and Roma, who have a game in hand, also have 28 points, and it is entirely possible to overtake the Red Bulls after the rematch. The teams at the bottom of the table have had a dismal record, with 14th-placed Udinese with only 12 points, proving that Serie A has indeed shown a clear polarisation this season, with a high-scoring champion and a low-scoring relegation team likely to emerge.

On the scorer list, the quiet Immobile has scored 12 goals, which has overtaken Dybala, who was in hot form at the beginning of the season, and is tied for first place with Icardi, and Juventus is temporarily third with a goal difference. Belotti won this award last season because of the manager's arrangement and the injury, and only five goals have been scored so far, but he is at the top of the scorer list in the Europa League with four goals, and his value and status have improved compared to last season.

At present, the momentum of the players in the Torino team is still very high, and the mood of most of the local players has gradually stabilized under the tight schedule, and the pain of missing the World Cup has no time to feel. The only injury number is Moussis, who has just fallen, but the strong man's constitution is shown as 16 in the FM system, and the injury tendency is 7, which belongs to the type that does not like to be seriously injured and recovers relatively quickly from minor injuries, and the team doctor believes that he will be able to start training normally in early December and will not miss too many games.

Las Diarra, who returned from a calf bone contusion, was the perfect substitute for the Argentine's remaining position, and the veteran showed excellent form during this phase of the team's training, not only defending solidly, but also occasionally making accurate passes in attack, which helped the young players a lot. So in Torino on Thursday night when they hosted Vienna in Austria, Li Mudi was very relieved to send a 4-4-2 formation in a diamond-shaped position in the midfield, with the former Real Madrid No.10 playing as a single midfielder, and the two full-backs were very high in attack, while the full-backs on both sides also pressed to fill in the positions, and the team's position would be very extreme 2-3-3-2.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the opponent on this day is not strong. After four rounds of the group stage, Austria Vienna has 4 points, although there is still hope of qualifying, but because their situation in the domestic league is not very good, it is unlikely that they will get points from the strongest Red Bulls, and they have not come up with the strongest lineup in this European League, which makes the gap between the two teams widen all of a sudden.

In the end, thanks to Belotti's brace and goals from Manuel Pellegri, Immobile and Farke, Torino won 5-1 at home. With AEK Athens tied 2-2 at home to Rijeka in the other group matchup, the Red Bulls secured the top spot in the group with four wins and one draw seven points ahead of second-placed Greek teams, giving them a better chance of avoiding other group winners and strong teams who were kicked out of the Champions League in the knockout draw.

The other qualifying spot in the group will only need to be determined in the next round, with AEK Athens with 6 points, and Austria Vienna and Rijeka with 4 points, all of which have a theoretical possibility of breaking out of the encirclement. It's just that all of this has nothing to do with the Torino side, who have left Rio after the midweek game, and the Red Bulls will travel to the San Siro this weekend to take on the Rossoneri, who are not in form but are still formless on paper. At the same time, this game is also the opening game of one of the toughest fixtures in the first half of the league, and the club is naturally very concerned about it, hoping to usher in the end of the year Christmas and next year's New Year's Day with a good result.

Before jumping into the league agenda, let's take a look at the results of the Italian teams in this round of European competition. Among the three Champions League teams, Roma lost to Atletico Madrid by two goals away and lost the top spot by Chelsea, but they faced the weak Qarabag in the last round at home, and almost locked up the qualification for the knockout round; Juve exchanged blanks with Barcelona at home, and won the top two places in this group with La Liga giants in the first round, and because of the record between the two sides, Barcelona also locked the first place, and the old lady had to face the top spot in other groups in the knockout round, and the situation was not optimistic; However, the most frustrating will probably be Napoli, although they beat Shakhtar Donetsk by three goals at home, but because Manchester City, who have won all five games, will challenge the Ukrainian team in the final round, and the White Dolphins, who are still three points away from the latter, even if they beat Feyenoord, their fate is in the hands of others, and most people are not optimistic that Maurizio Sarri's team can complete the big comeback.

In the Europa League, Atalanta shocked the entire European football world with a 5-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park, Gasperini's side have not been able to find their form last season in the league, but they have shown great fighting power against teams from other countries, and they can qualify as group winners as long as they can draw at home to Lyon in the final round; Although Lazio was drawn 1-1 at home by Vitesse in the Eredivisie in this round, they also locked the first place in the group in advance with their excellent performance in the first four rounds.

The more popular view is naturally that Serie A has too few restrictions on the use of foreign aid, which makes the localization of each team in the league low, and suppresses the growth of domestic players. Just like the Premier League, while every team is extremely competitive, the national team has always been a soft-footed shrimp. As a result, there are calls for the Italian Football Federation to introduce a stricter player registration system as soon as possible, increasing the number of domestic players from 8 to 10 or more, and at the same time limiting and controlling the qualifications of Under-21 players and academy players, and increasing the number of local players in each club.

However, this proposal is obviously unlikely to pass, the current entry rules of the Italian league are basically the same as the common standards of the European continent, and have been tested in many countries and for many years, and it will certainly not be good to make important changes rashly, but will differentiate from the leagues of other countries. Not to mention whether this will cause the other major leagues to introduce special measures for Italian players, just to reduce the living space of foreign aid, it will cause the Italian league to lose the attraction and competitiveness that is gradually recovering in the world, not only will it not be beneficial to the development and progress of the country's football, but it will have a negative impact, but anyone who knows some common sense knows how to choose.

Ignoring the small group of people who have a very strange way of thinking, the media in Italy has been focusing on the change of manager at Udinese ahead of this weekend's league game. After the Little Zebras lost 2-6 at home to the "Big Zebras" in the ninth round of the league, the old coach Del Neri suffered a very serious dismissal crisis, and the outside world even gave a replacement at that time. However, fortunately, the team won Sassuolo and Atalanta in the next two rounds, which made the manager breathe a little relieved. However, with the postponement of the 12th round away to Lazio, especially last weekend's 0-1 defeat at home to Cagliari, which is gaining momentum after the change of manager, the team only has a dismal record of 4 wins and 9 losses, which makes the club's hierarchy completely determined.

On Wednesday, Sky Sports Italia, Football-Italia and transfer specialist Angel Di Marzio broke the news that Udinese owners Pozzo family would be sacking Del Neri, who had saved the team from a bad start to last season, and the news was confirmed in the evening, with an official announcement on the club's official website. Later, many media released a candid photo, dated two days ago in the afternoon, showing Udinese boss Gino Pozzo, the son of Gino Pozzo, and Otto exchanging ideas, and the new coach was also revealed. At 10 o'clock on Thursday, Udinese officially announced: "The club has hired Mr. Massimo Odor as the manager of the first team, and he will appear at a press conference this afternoon to give a briefing, after which he will start his first training session with the team." ”

Although the results of this season are not ideal, Delneri still has a high support rating in local and even the entire Italian football scene, and in the eyes of most people, the main reason for the team's poor performance is the lack of investment in the transfer market. Although the transfer strategy of the little zebra has always been out of the big picture, but in the summer when the other competitors have somewhat strengthened, they still maintain the usual small business philosophy, the net investment is only less than 3.8 million euros, the core of the team's midfield Czech, Janktor may also be sold at any time, such a mess is indeed too difficult for the manager. Previous online surveys showed that more than half of the people believed that the team had poor results, and the club's top management should bear the vast majority.

The 41-year-old Oddo, who was an excellent right-back as a player, made 34 appearances for the Italian national team and scored two goals, but his coaching resume is a little too pale. In 2015, he coached the first team for the first time, led Pescara to a successful promotion, and left early last season because the team's record was too bad. Udinese fans want the team's decorated coach Guidolin, not the former AC Milan player whose history is a mess, and it is well known that none of the coaches in this group are under the age of 50.

However, their protests are clearly not going to have any effect, and just as the protests among the fans are intensifying, the weekend league is finally here, and the outcome of the game may provide the answer to whether Otto is up to the job.
