Hello, my friends. Here are the 2019-2020 Serie A Week 20 RESULTS / Twentieth Round on Saturday 18, Sunday 19 and Monday 20 January 2020.

Juventus keeping the 1st position reaching 51 points after defeating Parma with a 2-1 score.  The two goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.  The home victory is an added plus for Juventus because they have now a +4 points lead over Inter with 47 points in the second position after their 1-1 draw with Lecce at the Via del Mare Stadium.

Lazio having a spectacular 2020!!!  Lazio crushing Sampdoria with a 5-1  at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium.  Surely, Lazio with a superb performance winning their 11th consecutive victory.  The shining moment continues for  Lazio forward Ciro Immobile scoring a hat-trick reaching now 23 goals as Top Scorer of the Serie A.   Lazio reaching 45 points and believing in the Scudetto.  It is a landmark for Coach Simone Inzaghi achieving his 100th victory.

👉 Up to Serie A Week 20: There is a three-way race between Juventus (48), Inter (46), and Lazio (45)

⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 20:
Lazio forward Ciro Immobile with 23 goals

Serie A tickets

Sassuolo claiming the home victory at the Mapei Stadium defeating Torino with a 2-1.   This victory helping Sassuolo climbing the Serie A reaching 22 points being only -5 pointss below Torino with 27points.

The biggest flop is for Napoli “falling from grace.”  Napoli losing the home game at the San Paolo Stadium defeated by Fiorentina with a 2-0.  It is an embarrassing defeat for Napoli unable to score even the honor goal.  The nightmare for Napoli continues despite the sacking of former coach Carlo Ancelotti.  Apparently, new Coach Gennaro Gattuso not finding the solution to help this decadent Napoli.  Something must be done.  Napoli is only a shadow of the past…. with 24 points, they can only wave goodbye to the dream to win the Scudetto comparing Juventus with 48 points!

Genoa sinking from the 18th to the 19th position.  AS Roma defeated Genoa at the Olimpico Stadium giving a headache to Genoa fans not finding the way out for salvation.  The victory helping Roma to reach 38 points.

AC Milan believing in the “European dream” climbing to the 8th position after defeating Udinese  with  3-2 in San Siro.   The party for AC Milan fans is at its best since the arrival of forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

A great moment for SPAL causing an upset at the Atleti Azzurri D’Italia Stadium.  SPAL who were not favorites to win the game, proved them wrong.  SPAL defeating Atalanta with a 2-1 and climbing the Serie A Standing from the 20th to the 18th position.  Salvation is near….

Vlahovic: “Napoli win down to team effort”

Dusan Vlahovic scored a stunning goal to wrap up Fiorentina’s 2-0 win over Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo on Saturday night – but after the game the Serbian striker was keen to play down his contribution to the result.

“It’s a team effort,” he said, speaking in the mixed zone in the bowels of the San Paolo. “It doesn’t matter who scores – what matters is that we win football matches. We need to keep this up and keep working hard. If we do that, we can go far.”

Vlahovic insisted that there was no great secret to his impressive form in front of goal in recent weeks.
“I’m training hard,” he said. “I don’t believe that anything just happens in life – there’s always hard work a determination behind it. As I’ve said before, it doesn’t matter who scores, just that we win games. We need to climb the table – that’s our objective.”
Vlahovic is now Fiorentina’s top scorer in Serie A with four goals, but – again – the Serb chose to instead emphasise the quality of his team-mates.
“I hadn’t thought about it, but it’s a nice thing,” he said. “We have lots of great players in the team – [Federico] Chiesa, [Gaetano] Castrovilli, [Patrick] Cutrone, [Franck] Ribery… We have a strong team and we need to keep going and work even harder because we have a very important home game against Genoa on Saturday and we need to try to get the win.”
The Beppe Iachini effect has been clear to see – both in the Viola’s result and in their performances – and Vlahovic spoke warmly about the impact of the boss.
“He wants us to be aggressive, determined and compact,” he said. “He wants us to show grit and aggression – the rest comes by itself. We have a good bond with the coach. It’s great to play at Fiorentina. I think we all feel proud of that and we take that onto the pitch with us.”
Last but certainly not least, Vlahovic had a special dedication for his goal.
“As I said after the Inter game, I want to score goals that count for something,” he said. “I’m really pleased with the goal. As well as my own family, I’d like to dedicate it to the Commisso family. They’re always there for us, providing amazing support and strength.”
