The battles for the Scudetto and Champions League places are reaching a critical point in Serie A, potentially bringing a night of truth for several teams. Particular attention is on Napoli and Inter, sitting first and second, separated by a single point. Inter coach Antonio Conte is reportedly feeling the pressure with his team.
Conte himself acknowledged the high stakes, stating on the eve of their match against Parma, “I feel great responsibility” regarding the potential to win the league title this season. This high-stakes moment is dubbed a `Match point` by La Stampa in its sports section.
Meanwhile, the intense race for Champions League qualification continues with only two matchdays remaining. Atalanta has already secured their spot after their victory over Genoa (3-2). The remaining places are being hotly contested by Juventus, Lazio, Roma, and Bologna, separated by just one or two points, as they await results from simultaneous matches.
Separately, Igor Tudor is reportedly making changes at Juventus for their away game against Udinese, aiming to secure a spot in European competition and solidify his position on the Juventus bench.
Speaking in a press conference yesterday, he commented on his approach: “I live day by day, I enjoy everything and I suffer, but I don`t think about the future. I suffer to prepare for Udinese as best as possible. I want to feel the trust of the players, and I feed on that. This is the beautiful part. If I feel inferior to anyone, I say no, to no one.”
