Last time he reffed us was against juve and while we lost, I thought he had an excellent performance.

He's actually been "fine" for us for some time. He reffed the 3-2 last game against Lazio as well and was ok. He was also fine in the 2-2 draw vs Roma and actually helped us by not calling a clear penalty for a D'Ambrosio foul on Zaniolo.

Yeah, Rocchi has surprisingly been moved down my list of fuckers. Calvarese, Abisso, and Orsato are my main worries.

Conte said Vecino has nothing serious and he could play against Atalanta.

Rocchi will strike when the time is right.

Conte: 'Important to beat Dea'

Inter coach Antonio Conte has claimed Atalanta are the team in Italy with the “best form” and expects a “demanding test” that’s “important to win”.

After back-to-back 5-0 wins, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men travel to face the league leaders in Milan on Saturday and the 50-year-old Nerazzurri coach expects an “intense” match against a team that “continue to grow”.

“It will be important to win, because we are playing a great team currently with the best form in the League,” Conte said at a press conference. “They continue to grow and are much stronger than they were last year.

“It will be a demanding test. Gasperini is doing a great job. He’s been working on his ideas and the details of it for a while. Compliments to Giampiero, he is a hard worker. Atalanta are a beautiful team to watch.”

“I expect an intense and physical game, played with high intensity by both sides,” he said. “We must be happy with our own path, but also need to improve in several aspects of our game.

They’re ahead, because they come from a longer path.”

Conte’s men have only conceded 15 goals in 18 games, but their opponents are the ones who have scored the most in the League so far this term with 48 goals – nine more than Inter.

“To win, you must score goals, and you need to attack in a great way. But the balance becomes fundamental… Of course. It makes no sense to score many goals and then concede as many. I’ve never seen a team win the championship with an attack on the level of a team in the middle of the table.”

Conte has claimed it’s not important who are top at the halfway line and said it all “depends on us”.

“It doesn’t matter,” he said. “The winner is whoever crosses the finish line first, not halfway.

“We have to win tomorrow, and it won’t be easy. They want to do the same. We need to play a great game, because they will really test us. It all depends on us.”

THIS is the real test! :datass:

Conte said Vecino has nothing serious and he could play against Atalanta.

I would rather not risk playing him in case Spurs accept the swap for Eriksen :epicwin:

off-topic: brief clarification on FIAT group

He's mixing up his moves. One day a Rubentino then hippidyhopinterista. I remember that game. He was excellent and I remember thinking myself ' wtf Rocchi, actually had a well run game'

Still the Italian referee factory is outdated, they are sponsored and tailored in Turin. I wonder if they all are driving Fiat or not.
Of course, you shouldn`t get away with it by consistently blowing the whistle in that direction. Just like Native mentioned, it`s enough to strike in key moment.

I would like to explain that Fiat is usually regarded as a shitty brand, so I doubt these would be tempting for refs. More than this, it`s 2020 so let`s not limit ourselves to this one only. On 31 October 2019, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced intent to merge with Groupe PSA (owner of the Peugeot and Citroën brands among others). On 18 December 2019, FCA and PSA announced that they had agreed to the terms of a binding $50 billion merger.

FCA Italy includes the Italian-based brands that include Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Lancia and the engine manufacturing subsidiary VM Motori.
FCA US includes the American-based brands that include Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. This is why you see "Jeep" on their shitty shirts - pouring money from one pocket to the other.

However, I would bet on handing over a luxury Maserati to refs for best results :trolldad: Maserati has been owned by the Italian-American car giant FIAT Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and FCA's Italian predecessor FIAT S.p.A. since 1993.

My prediction is 0-0.

Apparently Asamoah left training injured again? The fuck is wrong with the guy.

There is a better chance that my balding miraculously reverses than there is of us keeping a clean sheet today.
