Condò: Roma-Inter closes the first part of the championship

From the columns of the Corriere della Sera, Paolo Condò commented on the big match of the fifth round of Serie A between Roma and Inter. A clash that comes at the ideal moment to draw the first conclusions before the long break for the national teams.

“Roma-Inter this afternoon is a great match that obviously won’t resolve anything, but will indicate a lot. In the novel of the football season, it is the perfect appointment to close the first part: after this weekend, in fact, the national teams return to the scene, and they will do so for a full three weeks,” wrote the journalist.

Condò then explained the new structure of the international calendar, with a change regarding the distribution of breaks. “It is an intelligent variation of the international calendar, which until last year provided for two weeks of break in September, October, and November, for a total of 6. The clubs have obtained the merging of the first two breaks, while keeping the third, and the compromise of removing one week (the scheme is 3 plus 2 where before it was 2 plus 2 plus 2) is compensated by the possibility, precious for the coaches, to work with the players for a longer period.”
