Today’s Papers – Inter call Calhanoglu, Rome’s anti-Chivu pair

We’re the land of goals There have been 342 goals in 11 rounds of Serie A, 98 more than at the same stage last season. That’s more than three per game, and goalless draws have all but disappeared. Roma are breaking records, and their 31 goals are the most in the division, with Donyell Malen leading the way. What an idea: Cisse with Pio Roberto Mancini is considering a Milan-flavoured Italy at San Siro for Thursday’s game against France, pairing 20-year-old Cisse with 21-year-old Francesco Pio Esposito up front. Sørloth wants Juve Talks have reopened over Alexander Sørloth. Juventus already liked the Norwegian striker in June.

Corriere dello Sport The anti-Chivu pair For the first time ever, two teams from the same city are unbeaten after 11 games of a Serie A season, and Lazio and Roma are now challenging Inter for the title. Gennaro Gattuso’s Lazio are top with 29 points, a better start than Lazio managed under Tommaso Maestrelli or Sven-Göran Eriksson. Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma are third, two points behind, and their 31 goals are the best tally in 65 years. Gattuso has three problems in Josip Šutalo, Nuno Tavares and Mattia Zaccagni, while Gasperini gets Mile Svilar, Paulo Dybala and Gianluca Mancini back. Juve, zero penalties Juventus haven’t been given a single penalty in 11 games. Roma haven’t had one either among the top sides. Como have had one, Inter and Milan two each, and Lazio three. Kenan Yıldız is getting close to a return (“I’ll be back in December”), but Pierre Kalulu is out for a month with an injury.

Among Rossoneri under-20s, only Alexandre Pato has made a better start.

He received the Bulgarelli Award in Bologna and confirmed that his recovery is going well at the Continassa, where his training will now step up. “I feel good, and I’m very nostalgic,” he said. Fabio Capello calls him “the Italian Lamine Yamal”. Luciano Spalletti called in his staff and the players still in Turin at 8am to study the team’s mistakes. Kalulu has a muscle problem and could be back for Como. Cubarsí Golden Boy: ‘I won’t stop here’ Barcelona’s World Cup-winning defender Pau Cubarsí is the 24th winner of Tuttosport’s award for the best under-21 player in Europe, and he will be presented with it in Turin on 14 December. Juventus’ Kerim Alajbegović challenged him in the online fans’ vote.
