AGI – Let’s play fantasy football. Who wants Mourinho to Roma, and Sarri to Lazio? I! IOOO! And down the non-existent millions, plus the stickers of Caputo and Lasagna, who then have to go and comb through the report cards every week to find out what happened to them.
One thing is certain: between provocations and recriminations, between hands raised to the ear or crossed like handcuffs, between adjectives – ohibò – diplomats to say that the indiscipline of those who he believes himself to be God because he is only a championand it also ruins the most Savoyard society in the world, there is only one thing that is certain. And without saying it, we have said it. Let us not explain, therefore: it would be to ruin all the taste to fall into banality. In the trite and withdrawn.
It is more instructive to dwell on one fact: with all due respect to the predecessors, Lazio has not received a coach of such great personality since the time of Maestrelli. Sven Goran Eriksson, to say, was a true professional talent, but he was certainly not touched by the gift of national-popular leadership.

And in Rome, with respect to speak, go and find a national-popular leader like this who has read as many books, knows how to dress that not even Kenzo, has the physique of a Milan coach (Berlusca said, that Milan also needed a certain phisique du role like Allegri or Maldini, which girls make you fall in love with ‘) and knows all those languages. We already see him, at dinner with Totti or with De Rossi, not to mention the young Zaniolo, talking about neuroscience, which seems to be one of his favorite topics.
Oh my God, the Englishman will also know Sarri, who has certainly not disfigured with Chelsea. Conte will also know, that he too at Chelsea got his satisfaction. Ranieri also knows this, who in England did the greatest thing of all, taking a team of half-bads from relegation and transforming it into a joyful war machine.
But Mourinho always has something more; or maybe it is the others who have some more fatigue than Mourinho. Mourinho is casual, nice and also a little rogue. As unpleasant as Clark Gable’s “Frankly I don’t care” in Gone with the Wind. Ranieri, who is also a testaccino but is reserved, is liked by mothers. Like a Frank Capra film.
Formica said it
Sarri does not dress in Kenzo, and ultimately remembers more than anything else Carletto Mazzone. We already see him running under the Atalanta curve claiming his mother’s honor. Traditionally (but the traditions are known to be made not to be respected) that Lazio is supported in North Rome, and in the rest of Rome Rome, one would say: let’s remake Fantasy Football. We have reversed the roles. We laugh it all back, plus a lot of ghosts. We were wrong, we amateur fantasy coaches who do not even know that there are no coaches in fantasy football, being ourselves. Fantastically.
Or not, because Sarri – Mourinho, you never know how high you have climbed – he even had the honor of lemma on Treccani, the temple of national culture. Reads: “Sarrismo – The conception of the game of football advocated by the coach Maurizio Sarri, based on speed and offensive propensity; also, the direct and not very diplomatic way of speaking and behaving that would be typical of Sarri ”.
A mild euphemism, the one about poor diplomacy. He had a clash, once, with Mancini. He didn’t just tell him “untrainable”. As for speed and offensive propensity, nothing quaestio. But reducing a philosophy of play to such banality is the stuff of plebeians, incompetents. In short, by great doctors and professors.
derby rome-lazio lazio-rome
Football, on the other hand, is above all what politics was for Rino Formica and that is (we apologize to the ladies) “blood and shit”. This is what the opposing supporters want in Rome. And this they know how to give, both. That’s why there is no need for fantasy football exchanges and second thoughts.
Rome will also be the capital, but in football you never know if it is the last of the great powers or the first of the provincial ones. It is a cable stretched between the Milan-Turin axis and Fiorentina. Third, fourth, fifth place. Champions and then it’s a great party. Every so often, but so much, a great acute: the championships won in two add up to a hand.
One, for Rome, is due to Falcao but above all to Liedholm: another great gentleman, fascinating, great producer of high-class wines and collector of contemporary art. He knew how to wear a jacket like a suit. In this the prospects are good.

Lazio, on the other hand, reaches the bottom when a tough game discipline is imposed on them combined with a touch, and something more, of goliardic lightheartedness. And here too, then, there is hope: the coach comes from Deep Tuscany and has Neapolitan blood. A mix that also brought Bernini to Rome, and then was the explosion of the Baroque.
Imagining fiery derbies is discovering the obvious. Imagining everything else is an independent variable. But it is on the rest that the rivalry will unravel, and the results will be determined. Indeed, do you want to see that the two will surprise everyone, on the eve of the derby, with caramelized messages of peace? It would be in their character, in their ability to amaze how amazed the Juventus were to see Sarri, in the sixth of the championship, throw away the jacket and tie of the order, like a priest with his cassock at the moment of rethinking, to return to the beloved Mazzone model suit.
And in the end we discovered this: that the real challenge will not be so much between them, or at the Little loved Juventus, or to the Inter of memories or to Milan which is always there. And not even to Napoli, which in the end you must never ignore him. It will be between them and the city.
The result is by no means taken for granted. We entrust our bets to Fantasy Football.
