This week's questions:

I have a few questions regarding Brahim Diaz, being a Real Madrid fan. I have been following his spell in Milan for over a year now. I think he has grown very quickly. 

- Do you think he will be better off staying at Milan than going back to Madrid? (I personally think so because milan team plays with a traditional number 10ish role which suits him perfectly something that real simply doesn't) 

- Do you think he would be a good value for money for Milan (assuming his purchase clause is roughly 30m).

I personally think he is a great player but in the wrong era. If he was born about 10-15 years ago when teams could afford to have a number 10 type player without much defensive duty he could have become a super star. 

-Arnab Mukherjee (Chronicles Tifosi Patreon member)

Which manager in Serie A outside the current top 7 do you believe can make the step up to a major team in coming years and be a success? And is there a specific team you think they would suit?

-Lachlan Piccoli (Griffith, NSW: Chronicles Tifosi Patreon member)

Who is considered the greatest all-time Serie A player and greatest all-time Italian player? 

-IBES (Florida)

It was a strange round of slip-ups but not a lot in the way of rivals taking advantage.

Little Sassuolo has steamrolled the Big 3 this season, becoming the first team in over 60 years to win away at Juventus, Milan and now Inter in the same season. Did Gianluca Scamacca score against his future employers, after yet another strike at San Siro? What's going wrong for Inzaghi's reigning champions?

Top of the table Milan came close to losing to the team propping up the league, Salernitana, with some questionable goalkeeping by Maignan.

A dull Juventus held on for a draw against Torino in the Derby della Mole.

Fiorentina is becoming Atalanta's bogey team with a second win against the Bergamaschi in as many weeks, with Krzysztof Piątek firing on all pistols for La Viola.

Roma needed the Primavera kids to come off the bench to save Mourinho's men at home against Verona.

The ageless Fabio Quagliarella shows that class doesn't get old.

And we close the show with one of Roma's starlets: Australian-born Cristian Volpato, who scored his debut goal in Serie A a few minutes after entering the match, to spark life into the giallorossi.

Get your questions in for Mina and Nicky for the Serie A Chronicles Q&A show. Each week we answer your questions tweeted to us at @serieAchronpod using the hashtag #ChroniclesQandA.

This week's questions:

Audio Question via the website: Can Sassuolo be more than a mid-table team?

-Evan (Rochester, New York: Chronicles Tifosi Patreon member)

#ChroniclesQandA Hi Nicky and Mina! First off - I’ve been listening to you both since your Serie Awesome days and I’m so excited you’ve continued! My question is: if the “seven sisters” can only sign one player each this summer, who should it be? Also a Serie B question if I may: who do you think will come up next season, and who do you want to see come up? (They don’t have to be the same answer).

BTW Forza Inter!!! 🖤💙

-Victoria (New Jersey: Chronicles Tifosi Patreon member) 

A thank you from this Milan fan located in Salt Lake, Utah. Question: how far off is Milan from Inter? Is it just one or two players, or is there more to it?

-Patrick (via serieachronicles.com)

It's a Valentine's Day extravaganza at Serie A Chronicles HQ but the chicken wings are on hold while we discuss the title race being blown even wider open, as Inter were held by Napoli while crosstown rivals Milan beat Sampdoria to take over at the summit of Serie A, albeit with Inter having a game in hand.

Nicky and Mina wonder if Napoli could have done more to take all three points after the soon-to-depart "homegrown kid" Lorenzo Insigne gave the Partenopei the lead at home against the reigning champions who have shown signs of stumbling, coming into an all-important Champions League tie against Liverpool. And is Inzaghi doing a better job with Inter than Conte did in a title winning season?

Juventus snatched a draw against Atalanta in Bergamo in a direct battle for a Champions League place, which saw a goal of the season contender from La Dea's Ukrainian long-range missile specialist Ruslan Malinovskyi.

We recap the midweek Coppa Italia quarter finals and preview the coming European ties, with the other big name battle seeing Barcelona hosting Napoli in the Europa League.

Lazio continues its yo-yo form under Maurizio Sarri and Mourinho continues his battler approach to managing Roma against the universe. Can we really manage to not get sucked in to talking about him, or will the good Jose vibes be back soon?

And we close the show with the one and only Divine Ponytail: Roberto Baggio.

Get your questions in for Mina and Nicky for the Serie A Chronicles Q&A show. Each week we answer your questions tweeted to us at @serieAchronpod using the hashtag #ChroniclesQandA.

This week's questions:

@serieAchronpod: I can't help but think the real reason why Inter are so well positioned is Marotta. The team would have been imploded with anyone else at the helm this summer. Do you think the CEO is even more important than the coach in modern day football? #ChroniclesQandA

-Sanat Talmaki 

Hi Mina and Nicky, love the show, keep up the good work. I was wondering what you think the FIGC and Serie A could do to help southern clubs and academies become more competitive? Napoli and Salernitana (and Cagliarli if you count them) are the only representation for the south, and most of the best players from the south end up in the north anyway. How could this be remedied? 

-Vitas Carosella (Upstate New York) via serieachronicles.com

While Lautaro and Dzeko have done well to pull Inter through they both have been inconsistent throughout the season and I feel like we need someone more clinical. What kind of striker do you think Inter needs this off-season given Dzeko’s not getting any younger? #ChroniclesQandA

-INTERtwined (Tampa, Florida)

In this Chronicles Tifosi Patreon members-only episode preview, Nicky and Mina discuss the life of one of the most charismatic and chaotic club presidents that Serie A has ever seen.

A figure with a complicated legacy in Italian football, Maurizio Zamparini passed away last week at the age of 80. He was the former President of Venezia and Palermo who described himself as a mangiallenatori... a "manager eater"!

"It's just like a Frenchman to resolve everything in three minutes".

Milan took home the 3 points in a dramatic come-from-behind away win in the Milan derby, with Olivier Giroud striking twice in three minutes to turn the match around, amid drama on the sidelines.

Juventus' star signings Vlahovic and Zakaria scored on debut to win the match against Verona and finally find themselves inside the top 4, after Atalanta incredulously lost at home to Cagliari.

VAR struck again as Roma was denied a last-gasp winner against relegation zone dwellers Genoa after what seemed to be Nicolo Zaniolo's winning strike was ruled out for a Tammy Abraham (ahem...) 'foul' in the build up, leading to a booking for the Englishman and a send off for Zaniolo's dissent. No surprises that Jose Mourinho was not too impressed.

Elsewhere Lazio won away at Fiorentina, and Napoli sent Venezia into the relegation zone after striker Victor Osimhen returned from AFCON duties with Nigeria.
