Agreed, you can’t question his loyalties.
It is interesting and you’d have to agree with Prandelli if he can keep himself fit and healthy. Some of the things he has done this season at 37 is just incredible.
It actually reminds me of the lead-up to the 2002 World Cup, where there was a big push for Roberto Baggio to be included. Obviously Trapattoni didn’t pick him but based on his club form for Brescia in the year leading up to Korea / Japan, it was a harsh call (although I am more than happy to admit some bias there as he is my greatest of all time).
Interesting that Baggio was only 35 at that stage, yet I’d say odds are Totti has more of a shot when he will be 38…
Garcia masterminds the return of Serie A's Roman Empire
Indeed, you cannot pigeon hole Garcia’s Roma into one particular style of play, which is a large part of what has made them such a dangerous team.
I must admit, even I have been quite excited by their run, after a few years which I am sure you would be keen to move past. On a light-hearted note, those Lazio fans that held the mock funeral after the Cup final must be feeling a tad embarrassed…
Garcia masterminds the return of Serie A's Roman Empire
Post match comments:
Walter Mazzarri:
“We put in another good performance at a tough ground tonight against a physical, well-drilled, aggressive team, but if you look at the way the game went we edged it on points and could have won it.”
“We need to be sharper and more clinical, that’s something we have to get better at, though there’s also such a thing as a knack for scoring goals. Let’s not forget we’re still missing Milito… We have to grow in lots of ways but I must say, it’s very hard to play here.”

They were so close to doing so! Yepes’ shot right in front of goal somehow saved by Carrizo…

With the bulk of the round to be played tomorrow morning, Inter remain in fourth position on nineteen points, giving Fiorentina the chance to leap-frog them if they can beat Napoli at home.
Atalanta meanwhile move to eighth position with Parma, AC Milan and Udinese all within striking distance.

A draw seems a fair result for both teams thought both will feel they had the opportunity to win (particularly Atalanta with Yepes’ chance).
Atalanta will no doubt be the happier of the two, who despite the gulf on paper, where able to more than hold their own against Inter.
The second half opened up quite a bit, with the rain seemingly having an effect.
Mazzarri will no doubt be disappointed with Inter’s midfield which did not seem to flow today and failed to effectively push forward in support of Palacio. Kovacic did not have his best game and seemingly still lacks the confidence required to consistently make an impact for the Nerazzurri.
Both teams had the most success down their respective right flanks, with Moralez (the smallest player in the Serie A) causing lots of trouble in the first half.
Whilst for Inter it was Jonathon who was at the heart of a lot of the opportunities and continues to show how much he has improved from recent seasons,

And the ref brings an end to quite an entertaining game of football in Bergamo….
ATALANTA 1 – INTER MILAN 1

90+′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Almost a chance at the very end with Palacio picking up the ball with only one defender to beat. He tries to step inside for the shot, however is blocked from the opportunity to take the game.

90+′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
CHANCE! An amazing strike from Ricky Alvarez who from outside the corner of the box, blasts it towards the far post. The ball was moving in the air and JUST breezed past the post.
That would have been an incredible winner had it gone in.

90+: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
We are into injury time, with three minutes signalled.

89′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
As Atalanta tries to break, Samuel picks up a yellow as he breaks the play down.

88′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
With only a couple minutes to play, it is Inter who is more desperate to push for a winner as Atalanta seem content to defend the draw now.
Atalanta vs Inter Milan: Serie A live scores, blog
Substitution also made there with Jonathon coming off for Taider.

84′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Inter appeals for a penalty as Icardi looks to take a ball down and is seemingly pulled down by Stendardo. 50 / 50 call there which Inter fans will claim was a sure penalty.
Atalanta vs Inter Milan: Serie A live scores, blog
82: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
CHANCE!!! Atalanta takes a corner which seems to roll past two defenders, falling for Yepes right in front of goal. Somehow Carrizo makes a save on the shot and somehow, this game is still tied!
Atalanta will NOT get a better chance than that!

81′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Moralez on the ball in a rare occasion this second half, brought down by a foul. And that will be his last input as he is substituted by Migliaccio.

80′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Rolando sees an opportunity to play Icardi in, however the striker is called offside (just).

77′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Atalanta move forward this time, putting in a cross which is met by Denis some way out with the header providing no danger. However just another example of what Denis is capable of doing if the crosses keep coming in.

76′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Inter trying to create with Alvarez and Nagatamo exchanging with some impressive skills, ending with a Nagatomo cross cut off by Consigli in goal.

73′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
CHANCE FOR INTER! Icardi on the end of a ball through who cuts inside the defender to get a left footed shot on goal, beating the keeper however rebound off the outside of the post.
Great skill on the ball, unlucky it did not fall in Inter.

72′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Jonathon gets a great cross in for Inter, which is only just met in defence. Again it seems Jonathon the most dangerous man for Inter.

71′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Into the final twenty minutes as the play starts to open up a bit, as we go from end to end.

68’′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Corner for Atalanta, which is headed on Cambiasso making a fantastic headed clearance over Denis who was bracing to finish.

65′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Subs for both teams:
Livaja who went missing for large parts of the match, replaced by Marilungo. Whilst Inter takes off Guarin, implementing their substitute striker, Icardi. Mazzarri’s attentions seem clear.
