How was the Italian Serie A week 31st Begin ?

The first match very important regarding the relegation area was the one between Empoli (17th) and Pescara (20th)  The two team clearly showed their limits even if they played a nice soccer for about 50'. Zeman probably shouted the hell out of his players especially Caprari that even if he scored one goal ( he did actually a lot even to miss that one) the striker missed other chances that a Serie A player shouldn't make. The Empoli got the lead thanks to El Kaddouri which is always the best and positive note of the Empoli team. The match gave both teams only a point, 1-1 that it's only good for Empoli. Pescara missed another chance to hope for a miracle. Still the maths doesn't kill them so they will fight till the end. Still 21 points available!

3 points lost for Atalanta (5th) that only made a draw in the home fixture against Sassuolo (15th). The final result was 1-1 and actually for the first half let's say that Sassuolo fully deserved that.  The Di Francesco's team was actually leading for 0-1 for almost the whole match but surety thanks to an awful mistake by Caldara at 36' that practically gave the ball and a huge space to run all alone to Pellegrini that easily past Berisha and scored the goal. We must say that the bergamaschi really had so many chances with Papu Gomez that was a bit unlucky in this match and also got booked so he will miss the next important match against Roma but he also made a great assist over a free kick to Cristante that put the ball in with a nice header. Fantastic match by El Papu anyway. A bit disappointing was Petagna even if he played a strong match for the team but still it is not enough because to be a striker you have to score goals and he's not good at it. Needs to work on this. Well done by Sassuolo that showed us that without many injured people they can be a team too. Berardi is getting back in the great shape we knew him but he still needs some time. We will probably see the real him next year who knows wearing which shirt? We will see!

Juventus (1st) got the 3 points against Chievo (11th) at the Juventus Stadium instead but it wasn't as easy as a 2-0 might sound. It's true that Juventus wasted so many occasions especially with Higuain that still managed to score two goals anyway but he could have score four at least. Everyone is talking high about Dybala but not us. Not really. People seem to be blind about him. he's a very strong player and also got a bar with a nice shot from out of the box and gave a superb assist to Higuain for the first goal plus putting his foot in the second goal action before Lichtsteiner gave the assist to Gonzalo, but still... too many wasted balls, a lot of mistakes in passing and precision, things that a true champion won't at least not so many times in a match. So you be blind but not us. He might end up to be one like Cassano, genius but just a genius not a special one. Well done by Allegri anyway that really wanted these points and didn't do much turnover but we must say that Maran's Chievo did a very positive match and had at least 3 important chances to score wasted by Inglese and Pellissier but always gave us the feeling that they could get back into the match so applause for them! We must say the referee made a lot of small mistakes that surely helped Juventus in some critical situation. Coincidences ? We hope for the sake of soccer that the answer is yes.
