Standing and points of view.
Standing in hand, are two interpretations, both right, but from different viewpoints. A bit like each of us looks at a glass half-filled, and see it as half full or half empty.
We like to think of being at just 3 points behind second-placed, also because the tenth round of championship, in the middle of the Champions League round and having already played with the first two in the standings, the road appears downhill.
So, “Io penso positivo“ (cit.).
