Last night's match was a 'classical' Serie A match, highly tactical but still entertaining. Too much happened between Lippi and Capello, and for every tic there was a tac. It was like Lippi and Capello were playing chess together, and Lippi was waiting and ready for Capello's next move.
But I believe the 2-2 results was a fair result as we dominated the first half and wasted alot of chances while Roma had the lion's share of possession and chances in the second half.
We have to thank Totti for being off-form as he missed no less than 5 chances (3 from outside the box and 2 from inside) that he would normally score with during any other day of the week.
It's true that Lippi made a sort of 'grave' mistake towards the end when he substituted Birindelli for Treze. Birindelli wasn't used and he only sit back. Without Trezeguet, Roma's defenders were free to move forward without risking to let in a goal and that is exactly what happened when Zebina moved forward for the first time in the match and scored the equalizing goal from a strong shot outside the box.
Even though we were leading for most of the time, but I would say that the result isn't really bad. Most of you predicted a defeat as Roma were in rich form. Even though the top 4 have now the same number of points, but it seems that us and Roma have played the strongest teams up to this early point:
Roma - Udinese (A), Brescia (H), Juve (A).
Juve - Empoli (H), Chievo (A), Roma (H).
Milan - Ancona (A), Bologna (H), Perugia (A).
Inter - Modena (H), Seina (A), Sampdoria (H).
Flash moment of the match - Camoranesi embarassing Lima everytime he moved forward, Di Vaio scoring moments after coming in.
Trash moment of the match - Roma equalizing, Del Piero's injury.
About Del Piero it's so sad that he got injured, especially that he was in a good form. But remember that during times like these that Miccoli and others should stand-up and be seen. Let's not forget that during last season, Del Piero was also injured for 2 months but the squad responded well and won all Serie A matches during that time.
