Just have to keep taking it 1 game at a time. I still believe we'll hit a period where we struggle. We have to beat Cremonese on Sunday.
Cremonese have yet to win a game this season. We need to put them to bed early. Sassuolo is good preparation for Frankfurt.
Merih Demiral put multiple signed jerseys for auction to support Turkey and Syria victims. I shower him with praise for collecting money from blue collar workers. Meanhile, Kim Minjae donates 70,000 Euros from his own pocket, understanding the difference of monetary power capitalism creates, and doing what is right, reasonable, rational, logical, and true. Another good reason for us to win the title. These players deserve it just as much as the fans, or rather more.
It's a good result before one of the remaining tight spots in the calendar. Five days to Sassuolo, four to Frankfurt and four to Empoli, all away. It was bold to reclaim the Valentines kit.
I still cannot enjoy. The pressure is too much. we need Inter to lose points tomorrow. They have an very easy schedule and most of their tough games come at the end of the season.
Andrea Colombo is the ref for tomorrow's match at Sassuolo. He's fairly new to Serie A, reffed a few games last season and it looks like this is his eighth assignment in Serie A in 2022/2023, with a couple more in the cup. He likes to go to his pocket both early and often. He ran Sassuolo's week 2 home game against Lecce, and handed out six yellows, five to Sassuolo. In their last five Sassuolo has lost to Lazio and Milan, beat ten-man Atalanta, and drew with Monza and Udinese. Milan was a particularly ugly affair: eleven cards in a 5-2 beatdown.
Nice to see Zanoli has gotten some decent time with Sampdoria so far. I believe he can be our backup RB next season. Di Lorenzo has hardly put a foot wrong since he arrived from Empoli in 2019. This team is special. No 'real' superstars even though Kvara and Osimhen are starting to become one. Another 3 points today will put us within 8 wins of the scudetto with 15 matches remaining. I think 85 points will be enough this season.
Should be fun seeing Elmas in the midfield with Lobotka and Anguissa. He's really starting to break out this season. Otherwise, it's more or less who you'd expect with Olivera coming in for Mario Rui.
Something to do with raising awareness for abuse. Clean, solid performance so far. Going away to Frankfurt will be harder, but we are showing everything we need to carry this form and get a good result.
