Davide Frattesi was one of the key figures in Italy’s thrilling and convincing 3-1 win over France at San Siro. The midfielder scored to put Italy 2-1 ahead and turn the match in their favour, after Sebastiano Esposito’s missed penalty and before Pio Esposito’s goal sealed the result. But beyond his name on the scoresheet, it was his post-match words, polite but far from commonplace, that left a mark.
Tensions at Napoli have reached a breaking point following the abrupt cancellation of Massimiliano Allegri's pre-match press conference. The decision has cast fresh doubt over the manager's future at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso has urged his players to ignore the Serie A standings despite moving clear at the summit with a 2-1 comeback win over Cagliari on Sunday. The Italian tactician insists his unbeaten side must remain grounded and prioritise reaching the 40-point mark after claiming a sixth consecutive league victory.
Former Lazio forward Hernan Crespo believes his old side have the mentality required to capture their first Serie A title since the 1999-00 campaign following Tuesday's emphatic 6-2 triumph at Sassuolo. The Argentine legend credited head coach Gennaro Gattuso for transforming the Rome outfit while demanding an apology from his detractors.
