Benitez's confidence "We are really strong"

2010-12-14T20:43:00.004+07:00

The Inter coach finds himself training for the type of world semi-final against Korean club Seongnam: At last I can choose without having to deal with injuries. They are peaceful, we'll make it. Back Milito: I want a goal

ABU DHABI - Diego Milito kicks at goal. It marks. Indeed, the first thing, the most important is that takes the field and train with a friend: has not happened for several weeks. Everything else is a consequence. The Prince's training, then play in the match, then kicks at goal and score. How he can do. It is enough to Rafa Benitez: I am very glad to see with all my players. I am thrilled to have Diego, to see him to score in training. I looked at him a moment ago, I was happy and thought: yes, we are just stronger. On the eve of the semi-final with South Korea's Seongnam (tomorrow at 18) is in line with the sentiments of the last days Inter: overrides the joy, serenity, even happiness. Manco we were in paradise. Yet when Inter came from the UAE to be the case. Everyone happy. And optimistic. It seems that tomorrow he can return to training camp-type, albeit with a small but significant change from past Chivu no longer really want to play left-back in the semifinals and in fact should take the place of central defender, teamed with Lucio. What will cause the displacement of Javier Zanetti on the left wing and the midfield pair formed by Cambiasso and Stankovic. In the attack back to the formula 3+1, with Pandev, Sneijder behind Milito and Eto'o.

Back to Inter in the past. At least on paper. But Benitez is already so well: Finally I can choose the ideal formation, without having to deal with injuries. Has not happened for a long time. We will not make calculations in the semifinals, that is considering whether or not the end of Saturday. The most important match is the first, namely this, so we'll go with the best education possible to win the semifinal. Then think about the next commitment. Rafa is on a cloud: I am calm, peaceful, confident, happy. We're here to win a trophy is very important, which is in our thoughts for a long, although in recent months we have also focused on other commitments that we faced.

South Korea is no respect for the opponent, but tinged with a certain presumption of superiority that in fact it is only normal, given the forces involved, the players who will be deployed on two fronts: The Seongnam we studied - Benitez looks - and is a well-organized opponent, who tries to field intensity and quality of play in the dribble. They also know to work well on defense when the ball is between the feet of the opponents. We'll have to be careful. But we I want to remind you, we are Inter. For the occasion, they said, should return to Diego Milito in the middle of the attack: I'm fine for a week I train with the group, I feel ready. This is a unique competition, you never know if one day you play it to happen again. If a dream goal? Mostly Rookie team, I would give anything to win. And if it's up to me to make the decisive goal, as in the treble last magigo, the better.

Heart and head to move forward

Against Steaua Bucharest on the move to Naples to play sixteenth-finals. We need a victory, but Mazzarri believes the team calls a "not" throw the assault. Lavezzi in doubt

NAPOLI - On or off, this time it's a playoff. Napoli, to go through, he is obliged to fly to St. Paul's Steaua Bucharest. Walter Mazzarri is charged. I do not know if it's the most important match since I came here. It is certainly a challenge to which I hold dear, we are still on the run in Europe League and we are the only Italian who can reach this milestone. The play in our stadium, we have a only result available in three, they have an advantage, but it is a source of pride to follow up what we did last season. Already there is a fundamental aspect, in fact. The coach will ask the blue the 90' perfect. It will take heart and head, I would like that our fans from the stands would understand this. We should not throw the assault. It will be essential, rather, not taking too much risk in defense. When we do well, as has happened in the last two games against Palermo and Genoa, we are able to make trouble for everyone. Try to make a goal more than their opponents. do not need to overdo it and it will take great care nervosa, tactical and psychological. The reference model remains the Barcelona.

The yellow of the linesman

Serve a Lavezzi to Messi, but Argentine recovery remains a puzzle. It's fine, occurred during the last training session as it is his ankle and it may take the field. When a player is not in top form, usually prefer to do it from the beginning and then remove it, otherwise I burn two change. If you succeed, then, would be better than the few games from the first minute. And in run-off with Sosa and Zuniga. The rest of the training is already decided. I have only one more doubt on the left wing, between Dossena and Vitality.

No turn over, despite the second place in the league to defend. Mazzarri not snobbery commitment Cup. For us, Europe League is a great experience at international level and allows us to grow. Maybe you can lose some points on Sunday, but I think it worthwhile to go ahead. For the city, for society and for the Team: is a window that does not want to lose. Another reason to knock the Steaua, however dangerous opponent. It's a very good team and we have realized in Bucharest, in the going. In Romania, we found ourselves at a disadvantage in an unusual way to unfortunate incidents, we managed to straighten it. They too will be motivated. But the 50 000 of St. Paul can make a difference. Napoli are the 90' of the truth.

Contract and dressing the nervousness of Rainier

2010-12-13T21:05:00.003+07:00

The Rome is not persuasive, quarrels and tensions between players, the problem of the company, the contract expiring, controversy on TV: a difficult season for coach

ROME - The image "British" built-year career in local and international, diluted in a sip of romanella. Claudio Ranieri, 59 years, it seems transformed. It takes less than a year and a half in Rome, "his house" often as he likes to recall, replace the elegant "coach" admired overseas with a technical grumpy and irritable. Yesterday outburst against Sky ("Just be controversial, as in Rome there will no more"), to which the president Rosella Sensi has wanted to replicate in a statement late in the evening, directed mainly at Massimo Mauro, a columnist for the satellite and Republic. it "unacceptable attitude" for a number of Rome. In reference to the exchange of ideas had with our coach, immediately after the match Roma-Bari - continues Sensi - AS Roma society considers such an attitude is unacceptable, considering that the behavior sometimes too casual on live television could also find justification in the hectic working atmosphere and little chance for reflection. But Massimo Mauro as demonstrated by news of not understanding the error made in the cause as a television interviewer our technician. On the other hand is not the first time the former soccer player is shown not to love the work of his colleagues and technicians who played football with him.
- Continues the meaning - the Roma did not escape the merciless trial some time ago against Hadrian, as if to deliberately ignore the commitment and effort of a player who is rebuilding itself with humility and devotion to the profession. For a number of Rome is unacceptable that those who represent the biggest television event of the football reference will allow comments so heavy against a coach, as Ranieri. At the moment the only things that hurt the football to the city of Rome and Rome are the comments of those who sometimes must learn to keep quiet and reflect.

But the attack on Sky Ranieri is the latest in a rosary, this season, already has other grains unforgettable soliloquy from 9 minutes in the press conference with accusations and final flight a few hours from Rome and Bologna, references to the spectrum of Lippi "sailing in the dark" after the defeat of Brescia. But also exploits as a fan as the've been smoking the pipe to attack "aimed at Lazio after derby win in November and followed by" The Romans enjoyed as they were to do curls. Nervousness and tension that a shield of cardboard in the calendar year 2010 as the record has not erased. At least 10 cases - and can not be an alibi - that contribute to sustain it.

ANCELOTTI CONTRACT - The contract expires in June, a promise of renewal made by Rosella Sensi in person in May, in a friendly played in L'Aquila to greet the 2009-2010 season. Promises renewed during the summer, with lots of economic agreement. Ranieri felt safe, for me to just a handshake. Then, the surprise of the stop, informed by the same Rosella Sensi, after the first flop in the league. Today, six months after the expiry of the contract, Ranieri felt - unless miracles of sports - its agreement with Roma expires without being renewed. She did not understand, however, the reasons for a rethink. But without a contract, be respected by the team has become more complicated. And every day there's rumors about possible new Roma coach: first Lippi, Ancelotti in recent days.

CONNECTIONS - This is also why he believes the coach started to rain attacks by the players. In the beginning was Totti: "We did the bolt", he said after leaving the Allianz Arena against Bayern Champions. A chorus, in the secrecy of the dressing room, Ranieri had to listen to more frequent basis by almost everyone. The players shouted in chorus after the disaster of Rome and Basel. This was stated several times in the last hours Pizarro, during discussions with more than burning the coach (and who knows if it has anything to do with the exception of yesterday). "I do not win because we play defense instead of attacking", he reiterated Chile. Easy to imagine how the outlet will have the technician, who did not like the criticism of even Borriello in Naples and the recent ones of Adrian in Trigoria.

GROUP - in fact, Ranieri knows, the problem is more widespread and involves the entire locker room. Where, as is now clear, it is hard to remain united. The dramatized recently emerged (De Rossi, Borriello, Totti-Burdisso) are the light outside of a general nervousness. Because the dressing room "best I've had in my career", the coach as he often is little left. Disunited, too, from different points of view of many senators on the management-Ranieri.

SUPPORT - precisely in this sense, Ranieri felt abandoned by society, by which he hoped to receive more support. But without a leader firmly in charge of the situation, the coach has always or almost had to expose themselves in person, thus drawing upon himself one hundred percent (or almost) of criticism. Never be defended.

SALE - All too easy, then, refer to the situation of the club, for sale, with no certainty for the future (and here we return to the expiring contracts) and a power vacuum, with each passing month, it begins to take contours increasingly disturbing.

INJURIES - A little help to the serenity of Rainier, including the continuing injury. Since the summer, the "pink" Romania has been battered. Each stop had the account for the national team. And as the weeks passed, he also suggested the question that some sleep was becoming longer than expected. To be sure, just read between the lines of internal meetings to establish new disciplinary rules for anyone accusing some physical problems too. Because when there is no confidence in the coach is not easy to get in a hurry to recover from an injury.

GRATITUDE - Ranieri, especially by the group, he expected more gratitude. Remember that many good players at the time of his arrival, the former were considered. And with him came back (or become) protagonists. Even the fans who have abandoned or nearly so, Ranieri had hoped to enjoy greater confidence after the miracle of the run a year ago. Hopes dashed.

UNCERTAINTY - but the group, in turn, has struggled to digest the continuous changes of form. The practical demonstration of the uncertainty that drives the movements of the coach and without warranties even from a strictly technical point of view. What is the Trident base? What defense? And in midfield, who's in charge? Unsolved questions to which the same Ranieri looks for answers.

CRITICAL - "Preparing wrong," "The team has no idea of the game," "With the change of form AS Roma identity tactic." Only some of the criticisms received by the press. And the coach has never accepted. "I have always changed in the running modules and the preparation is the same as I do for years, angrily repeating like a broken record. But without results, to submit their ideas becomes complicated.

RESULTS - Of course, behind every joke out of place, of any off the track, the same reason: the Roma wins or not, if he does, hard as yesterday. The truth is that, while October Ranieri explained, "I know what is wrong", now too hard to understand why battered Circulation of Rome. Reflecting the clear image of a rider without control, without certainty, without trust.

He won the World ''and the rest Inter for a long time''

2010-12-12T16:28:00.004+07:00

Rafa Benitez does not lose his confidence despite rumors that they want their backs to the wall: I hear many names around, but the coach I am. Whether to retrieve the injured know that this team can win. Moratti's words? He knew the conditions in which the team would play in Bremen. Wednesday, the semi-final against Koreans Seongnam.

ABU DHABI - "I hear so many names around... But the coach I am. And if we win the World Cup I will be for a long time". The pride of Rafa knows no faltering, no bending. The latest defeats have not folded, and even the hard outer Moratti who seems to have put the coach on the wall: either the World or exemption. Rafa Benitez still has her beautiful smile, but lately seems to be shrouded in bitterness, and again expresses his clear concepts, a little cut with an ax but clear, optimistic, except that now it is not clear whether it is the most optimism of the will or a simple desire to optimism, which usually does not bring good. However on arrival in Abu Dhabi, in his first press conference a few days after the onset in the semifinals of the 15 (against the Koreans, who beat Seongnam 4-1 Al-WHAD, team of the Emirates), Rafa Benitez rejects any speech on the future and prefers to focus on the event, although in his speeches you hear the echo of the bitterness of the last period, and controversy, and criticism piovutegli him: We talk a lot about my future but people forget that in career I've played so many finals ... And when you play a final you always want to participate to the next. I lost in 2005 with the final Intercontinental Liverpool but I want to refer back. All we have to Inter to win this World Cup. I personally work 12-14 hours a day for Inter, I am calm, I know there are times when difficult, and this was, no need to jettison everything, no need to think about some kind of revolution, but it is important to continue working. So, after many years work, I know that the only thing to do is continue working and stay focused. Whether to retrieve the injured, and there is the possibility of recovering all for the final, I know this team can win.

Understanding a bit generic, as they say, but this goes Rafa Benitez. No news on the opening day, no certainty on the recovery of this or that player, but so much optimism. Whether or not we'll find out in front as the days went along the Gulf. But while Benitez is understood not to have particularly appreciated the expressions of Moratti after Bremen, with those hard calls and the technical team: Know that I had spoken with the president before the match in Bremen and beyond. I am calm, because he understood everything we said we were. It was clear to him and it was clear to me. And I mean the conditions in which the team has arrived in Bremen. Well, perhaps according to Benitez, the President would have saved some controversy exits.

"Buffon? Not even he the place has ensured"

2010-12-12T15:04:00.003+07:00

Delneri waiting for Lazio ("We are at a crossroads, is a match between two teams that occupy their rightful place") but in the meantime send messages to one month of no return 1: "Storari is a great goalkeeper, but Gigi will have to fight". Del Piero on the bench again

TURIN - Delneri without fear. Not afraid to explore the high altitude of the charts (We have targeted AC Milan can not be otherwise), that law in the locker room (Here, at Juve, nothing is due to no player) and promise a team battle (We will fight until the ninetieth, contrary to the penny). The big-match tomorrow night against Lazio with a view of the second place in the standings, a commitment is important but not decisive for the season for Juventus: We are not at a crossroads, but a fundamental challenge to the psychological level. There will be two teams ranked high, they deserve the place they occupy. Who will win'll be mentally better, even if the fight has just begun. Aquilani will almost certainly be in the field, although Delneri merely a "ni", and Pepe will be on the bench to make way for Marchisio. Tomorrow we will not change much compared the latest releases. To play at right back, Sorensen is the lead on Motta, while attacking the choice is almost obligatory, Iaquinta and Quagliarella are doing well, because they play with Amauri out of order, before I do not have many alternatives. For Del Piero announced the fourth coach in the last five rounds of the championship.

CODE DELNERI - Buffon will be ready in a month, but Delneri does not seem willing to have children and stepchildren. The Juventus coach that the its rules, no discounts. His law is hard and the same for everyone: Will I see you want to know if Gigi will be ready when the hierarchies? For me all start on equal terms. I want to clarify here that there is nothing due to no player. Who is worth playing, that is to All: Buffon, Del Piero, Amauri, Sorensen, Motta. If Buffon will prove to be the best in the world, will have space. Storari But it is an excellent goalkeeper, to take away the ownership will be very difficult. Buffon has warned in the second Delneri football, playing in Serie B with Juve and called SuperGigi does not count.

FRIENDS AGAINST - Delneri found Reja, his coach at the Pro Gorizia (1983-84). Last year, at Marassi, the student surpassed the master Luigi Edy (Sampdoria-Lazio 2-1). He said he had his foot smooth, I was pleased. Edy is a great friend and a great coach who has created what I work for myself: a strong group, strong, cohesive identity and with spirit. There alike, otherwise we will not be friends. I'm glad he's getting great results. If you have passion you can achieve great things, Reja confirms this. What we got there we are well deserved and sweaty. Tomorrow I hope to see a good game, played by two good teams that will contest the results until the ninetieth, contrary to the penny. Lazio takes a few goals and it is always dangerous. It will very carefully, Juve will have to make a perfect game and not giving anything.

ANTI-JUVE MILAN - Marchisio yesterday officially opened the hunt for league leaders AC Milan, declaring himself very interested in next Saturday's Milan-Rome: Milan Marchisio want to connect? Just like that, even if we are already attached to the Rossoneri. We think the peak . Each team had its best efforts to reach those in front. I'm glad my kids come into this light. But we still think of ourselves, with confidence and knowledge that will not always be rosy. The time will come which we must avoid the thorns.

At the start the adventure world Moratti thinks Guardiola

2010-12-11T14:35:00.003+07:00

Inter off to Abu Dhabi from next week will be played on Club World. Last chance for the Spaniard, which might not be enough to bring the cup to Milan to keep the bench. Spalletti, Leonardo Zenga and the alternatives, but the dream of the President remains the coach of Barcelona

LONDON - In the Gulf, the Gulf. Inter finally leaves for Abu Dhabi. Wednesday 15 and Saturday 18 to play two big games for the award of the World Club, the central event of the season. Massimo Moratti, is known, has staked everything on the world title is the last trophy that is missing to complete the Filotto success of 2010. On the altar of the World, however, has been sacrificed throughout the last month. Inter began to crumble in early November, the team no longer has shown signs of life, injuries have increased and the recovery time has lengthened, the coach showed that he no longer in the hands of the team and has not been able to handle the residual forces and energies of the players who had remained yet, and everything collapses and failures increased, it has not taken any drastic decision. Well, Rafa Benitez has remained on the bench for Inter though all around began to mistrust the players first, the Inter environment as a whole, management and, ultimately, the same as last Moratti. But to avoid traumatic shocks before World sighed, Benitez has remained in its place: it's enough the 1-0 win over Twente, which sealed qualification to the knockout stages of Champions, to go forward.

But after that, apart from the victory over Parma, arrived only pain: 1-3 against Lazio and even a humiliating 0-3 in Bremen, Werder against deleted. Matches that have made Benitez did not understand how more control of the situation, no response from the players who for the most part now, is set back, especially with the aim to prevent injuries. So now it seems the decision taken: Benitez later this month will no longer be the coach. It will not flop even in case of the World, this is certain, may not be so even if you win, unless a ruling against him by the team in blocking (an event that currently seems unlikely). So now the bizarre is that Rafa Benitez is left for the World Cup as a "dead man walking", and already the shadows hover around its substitutes. Rafa leaves for Abu Dhabi and other newspapers now speak of, except him. Luciano Spalletti continues to be the logical choice for the future: even if you do not have a prize list is a very successful coach at the height of its evolution, has given good account of themselves this year in Rome and got what you asked, that the victory in the Russian League with Zenit St. Petersburg. Having to leave, Spalletti is the right name. More of Fabio Capello, who perhaps with his 64 years, and after saying many times you want to end his career as coach of the national may not have the right motivation, nor the necessary influence on the players.

The problem is that Inter forsee is a ferryman, not a coach for a long term project: Moratti still hopes to hire Guardiola for next season. With this in mind here is that the most logical choice would be those of Leonardo, which would be a choice of breaking and provocation to Milan (in response to the arrival of Ibrahimovic) but that probably does not yet offer certain guarantees as a coach in a very different environment from the Rossoneri, so far the only known by him. The other option is Walter Zenga, who trains in Saudi Arabia and die by the desire to coach one day Inter.

What is certain is that these days Moratti is considering possible alternatives to and maybe Benitez has already made the decision. What is certain is that Inter are playing this morning from Malpensa to Abu Dhabi, with almost the whole squad to complete (except for major injury and Samuel Coutinho), and hope to recover in the finals and Milito Julio Cesar, the most back in recovering from their injuries. What is certain is that the command stands a man, Rafa Benitez, all of whom think that soon will no longer be in command, who is a coach for a specified period not resist on this bench. Not exactly a nice way to leave for the World Cup, here. Meanwhile, the Faccioni Spalletti, Capello, Leonardo and Zenga circling overhead Inter. But what a strange World Cup.

Ibra: "For Inter always talking about me?"

2010-12-11T14:27:00.004+07:00

The Swede opened a controversy at a distance: "You expect to Moratti and Marco Materazzi are still important. They, however, are not for me". For injuries to Thiago Silva and Flamini again accused the Meazza. And the Rossoneri visit the artificial turf of Novara

MILAN - The Milan change their habits in view of the match at lunchtime on Sunday at Ara in Bologna. The Rossoneri will thus be the last of the great north to compete in the hours of 12.30: Inter has already done at home against Cagliari and Parma, and Juventus with Genoa at the Marassi. Massimiliano Allegri's staff decided to change the timetable for two days of living in their Milanello to get used to the change. The players arrived at the sports center in Carnforth at around 9 am, had lunch at 9.30 and took to the field for training at 12.30, just as will happen Sunday in Bologna. Tomorrow we will reply with seat trim from 12.15 (one quarter of an hour before seeing the next day at Ara there will also be warming pre-game a few minutes before the starting whistle of the referee Rocchi). And Allegri anticipate the usual press conference the day before mid-morning.

But the former Cagliari coach has other problems, beyond the unusual time of the next day of the championship. The two injuries to Thiago Silva and Flamini, both stopped by knee problems, forced him to revise his plans. The Brazilian defender, who will be visited in Rio de Janeiro from doctor Jose Luiz Runco Seleçao is a guarantee in couples with Nesta. When there is still one of the two, Milan creaks. While the French midfielder had been important in recent weeks
since the coach has passed the winning formula of the three medians.

Allegri, however, can console themselves for at least two reasons. Pirlo is already back in the middle that can keep up the morale of the midfield. And it is barely two days to the Christmas break: after the Bologna there will be Roma at San Siro. So the likely month of absence of two injured players will be felt less in terms of games skipped. The two stop anyway to bring up the issue of land in San Siro, also appeared in better condition after the recent rizollatura. But the players still get hurt very often on the lawn of the Meazza.

In this regard it is interesting to note that in recent days Mauro Tassotti, assistant coach of AC Milan, has made an inspection of the synthetic turf of Novara in Serie B leaders, both those who exercise the lawn of Silvio Piola theater home games of the Piedmont (first non-natural background in two major categories of our soccer). We must consider that there is a Milanello artificial turf field, and then the visit may be related to a discussion of possible alternative surfaces for training. But, given the continuing problem of the lawn of San Siro (several times this season the players of Inter and Milan have complained), any hypothesis is possible. Not forgetting that some studies have estimated that up Uefa new generation synthetic turf injuries decreased by 30 percent compared to natural grass land often unpresentable.

Meanwhile, Ibrahimovic opens a controversy at a distance with Inter, Materazzi speaks a bit too much of myself, as Moratti. You see that I am still very important to them - the Swede said in an interview to Studio Sport XXL -. But I never talk about them, you see that are not important for me. Ibra is proved secure the strength of the Rossoneri, "Do not fear or Inter or Juventus or Roma or anyone. We just keep going and Milan will win it all. I knew from the first day I arrived here, the atmosphere there around me, that Milan is my team and where to end his career where he can win a lot. It is true that the team is Ibra-dependent, each of us depends on the other fellow.

Milan, Ronaldinho poised Ibra essential

2010-12-10T17:08:00.003+07:00

Allegri comes out against Ajax ko painless with a certainty: Swedish (and with him Nesta and Gattuso) are the watchwords of the team. The confirmation of the Brazilian disappointing, it is not obvious: Liverpool and Palmeiras to the window. Next Friday the draw: the only real bugbear is the Barça

LONDON - Without raising his voice, but with the firmness required by the circumstances, Allegri explained why the defeat against Ajax is not going down: It is true that the reasons have made the difference, but this does not justify the provision. The Milan coach does not believe that the first defeat after eight games without blemish and very convincing, has eroded the esteem of the team. At the start there were only four owners in the field, most currently in competition with Seedorf Boateng: If your qualification is not already served before the game, the real Milan he would not be beat by the disciples of neo-technical Frank De Boer, who has chosen definitely a training pool and increased the degree of difficulty. But the bad impression remains, as the statistic: AC Milan goes to the knockout stages of the Champions League thanks to two wins with Auxerre, last in the ranking round, and two draws with Real Madrid (at home) and Ajax (away). Now wait without trembling the next Friday's draw in Nyon: who knows, are captured Schalke, Shakhtar Tottenham or, in the end they can afford. Not even the seemingly impossible Bayern and Manchester United. And the Chelsea of today is in crisis. Only Barcelona puts a lot of apprehension. But the truth is that the first Italian league still does not know its value in Europe. In essence, it is better to take it easy, try doing as Allegri. "Nobody can know in what conditions will be in February these seven potential our opponents, nor under what conditions we will. I'm not a soothsayer".

RONALDINHO IN BALANCE - But you do not need a crystal ball to understand that the future of Ronaldinho is still uncertain. After seven benches in a row, he missed the game for his return as a starter. It is on a bit in the final both times, but overall was very incisive and in a state of frustration. This was spotted by a couple of dangerous slide in revenue, with which he tried to steal the ball to the goalkeeper Stekelenburg. Part of the public Meazza him mercilessly booed. Tactically the former Ballon d'Allegri has so many excuses and defended him. "When the team does not play well and has little motivation for the individual it is difficult to emerge". Of course, the context was not the best for redemption and the absence of a true striker - Robinho is not - it made it more complicated play of Ronaldinho, who in fact have improved with the arrival of the Ibrahimovic 19 of recovery. However, it is also true: the conditions - playing almost immediately without anxiety, because Real was maramaldeggiando Auxerre and Ajax had just come into the guarantee of Champions League regardless of the outcome of the Meazza - were the most conducive to extemporaneous Dinho creations. At the end of the Brazilian game has guaranteed that it will respect the contract that binds him to Milan until June, "I am comfortable knowing to stay. It an important season for the first time since we are here leading the championship. I want to embarrass Allegri, when I put in the field. This time it was not easy, I played as a striker I have improved in the second half by midfielder. Declarations of intent, however, does not erase the fact that confirmation is not granted in January. Will largely depend upon any financial offers of the buyers, who must ensure the player's engagement over 4 million remaining to be here after this season, and the technical conditions. The Brazil coach Menezes told Ronaldinho that if he does not play in a league of high-level (not in U.S. soccer for the Los Angeles Galaxy), will lose Seleçao. There remains, therefore, the assumptions Liverpool and Palmeiras.

IBRA & C., THE ESSENTIAL - The 0-2 with Ajax has also confirmed that Milan can not help but light-hearted at the same time many owners, in particular that three of them are essential: in defense of Nesta, Gattuso in midfield, Ibrahimovic in attack (but also the veteran Zambrotta can authoritatively subscribe to the list). The first two provide security, attention to tactics and pace of their respective departments, is essential in the Swedish attack. Even if the goal is not reached, only Ibrahim came when the team was really dangerous and you're finally flowed a bit faster. The finding is both comforting and worrying. On the one hand Allegri be pleased: it makes available a sample immediately tricky opponents for every action and attack from both the shooter and finisher on the pivot or (when it comes back when you move down the flanks, when tame balloons difficult and immediately download them to his companions), is the focus of the game. The other will be alarmed at the lack of an adequate stand-in or as an alternative relentless Inzaghi, whose serious injury remains a significant handicap. For this Galliani will move firmly to the market in January, looking for a striker. The goal is to get more and more discovered the ownership of Matri, but it is invaluable to the Cagliari Donadoni. "We need one from Milan", he annotated Allegri, who coached Matri until last season and knows the quality.

ADIEU, MATHIEU - Another reason for concern comes from evidence of Yepes and Boateng. Preferred Papastathopulos, the Colombian defender has committed a few errors and has confirmed that Nesta has no substitute to it. AC Milan will accelerate the negotiation is not easy for David Luiz Benfica (for June), hoping that the problem does not become urgent. Boateng, deployed in the median time after injury to Flamini and maybe a bit stuck against the risk of reprimand and a suspension is not a professional interditore: Compared with Gattuso, Ambrosini and at the same Flamini, offers no protection to the defense and tactical limitations are quite evident. It is no coincidence that it has deployed recently by Allegri playmaker sui generis, in competition with Seedorf, who in turn seems to have become hot only when the games really count: that Ajax did not belong to the category. The coach then had a way contrary to the incident which has been out of the way the French stretching collateral ligament in his right knee Flamini take away from the scene for the last two commitments for 2010, with Bologna, and Sunday in the round with Christmas Roma, narrowing the choices. Allegri considers it essential to close the year reinforces the first in the league. "In January we will have a game every three days, better to face that period with the best ranking possible".

The Italian coach says Chelsea's defeat to Marseille in the Champions League, yet another stop of a very dark period coincided with the ouster of his assistant, Ray Wilkins: "We're not doing our best, but I feel my very strong position"

LONDON - Chelsea should not be in the Premier League as Champions. Since Roman Abramovich has ripped up the contract of assistant coach Ray Wilkins, the team suffered a worrisome drop 5 points in the last 6 rounds of Premier League, now overtaken by Arsenal and Manchester United, and last defeat (albeit painful) to Marseille (1-0) in the last round of the Champions League. The dock at Stamford Bridge, of course, ends up that Carlo Ancelotti, however, on the issue of Britain's Sky Sports online, admits: "I'm not afraid of dismissal."

"I'm not worried about my position - says Ancelotti - I am concerned not only that we are doing our best. We must absolutely improve". Ancelotti has also been criticized for not having saved a few more players in the trip to Marseille. I put the best - he said - because we are going through a bad time and I have no ability to change a lot. Chelsea should definitely start, but the next event of the season comes not so easy: the Blues are expected Sunday at the home of Tottenham. A game that is likely to weigh much on the Blues season, especially because it is the first of a triptych by to shake my wrists against Manchester United and Arsenal. But can the return of Frank Lampard, who was absent from August.

Delneri expected Zarate Del Piero claim a place

2010-12-09T22:32:00.003+07:00

The Juventus coach is preparing a 'cage' for Lazio's Argentine striker. Pepe and Grygera available. Iaquinta favorite for the attack, but the captain impatiently to return from the first minute

TURIN - The sky above the Juve is always bluer. Group and large bright sunshine: this morning hardly seemed the usual gray Vinovo. Simone Pepe has disposed of its influence and has worked with classmates, Grygera confirmed the progress of recent days and is now in competition with Motta and Sorensen for the right lane, Iaquinta did not play the practice match play to end a session at the gym: his stop is scheduled, it ensures Juve. The attacker Calabria is a candidate to support in Quagliarella again postponed on Sunday evening, with a view of the second place, against Lazio (Paolo referee Tagliavento Terni). But attention to Del Piero in the last four league games were deployed only once among the owners. The captain would like to play, proclaims himself ready to return to the driver of the first half of the season for Juventus.

TACTICAL ANTI-ZARATE - Delneri has worked with its defenders, midfielders and attackers entrusting his vice accounts. The Juventus coach has tested a rear guard formed by Motta, Bonucci, Chiellini and Grosso. The number one danger is Zarate, who returned from devastating when played from the first tip. Delneri is studying the strategy to stem it, a "cage" presumably similar to that in which Reja will try to contain the fury of Krasic. To prevent such law in the Argentine area Juventus, Juventus will try to cut off supplies, doubling the markings on
inspiring game biancoceleste, Hernanes Mauri.

TRILLINI: "I, DELPIERIANA DOC" - Among the fans who flock every Thursday Vinovo of the tribune, a special supporter: Giovanna Trillini. The blue plurimedagliata fencer wanted a closer look at his team's heart and meanwhile steal some secret: I've always Juventus fans - told the Marches - like all the rest of the family. I came specially from my Jesi to follow the training, because I liked the idea of observing working practices that could be applied to fencing. This I like Juve, I hope he reaches the top. My favorite player? At this moment the most visible is that you are confirming Krasic a great champion. However, I always cheer Del Piero, also because the knees have had a similar story. The Trillini then met with the Juventus captain, who gave her his number 10 jersey autographed, posing for the obligatory souvenir photo of two terrible old men of Italian sport.

AXIS-TORINO LIVERPOOL - Aquilani Yesterday, tomorrow Agger and Johnson? Intensify the relationship between Juventus and Liverpool. In the coming days with the Reds, the Bianconeri will discuss a possible early redemption of Aquilani, fixed at 16 million payable in three installments. It will be an opportunity to also inquire on defender (Danish, as Poulsen, another player passed on the Turin-Liverpool) Daniel Agger, 26 years old next Sunday, which has already expressed the intention to leave Anfield. Delneri appreciates its flexibility (Agger can play center or, if necessary, on the outside of the rear guard), while Marotta is attracted by the relatively low cost of operation (10 million). But there is also targeted by Juventus Glen Johnson, 26, right outside of Liverpool and England, Galileo Ferraris being sponsored by his former partner, Aquilani. In France it is said that the English club would be ready to replace it with the outside trans Rod Fanni of Rennes, the revelation of Ligue 1. The problem is the valuation of Johnson's close to 15 million €. Too expensive for the market while imaginative and attentive to opportunities announced by Juve. Marotta will try a shot of her, asking the player on loan with the ransom payment in installments. Or put on the table the possibility of an exchange between Johnson and Amauri, given the cost of the two almost identical cards. Meanwhile, the other band, that left the Bianconeri have blocked Alessandro Favalli, 18, quarterback of the Cremonese. And Italian, young, strong and low-cost: one new Juve.

All to report to Moratti Paolillo: "crucial World"

2010-12-09T21:56:00.003+07:00

The president on the eve of departure Appiano met the team and Benitez, who remains in the balance. The Nerazzurri to: "Everyone must change their attitude, we face an important event, then see what happens"

LONDON - This time Pinetina went directly to him. After the defeat to Chievo, had staged a maxi-summit between leaders. Technical and medical staff with his son Angelomario highest representative of the company at Appiano Gentile. This morning instead Massimo Moratti has moved to try to give a shock to the whole Inter on the eve of his departure for Abu Dhabi, at which point the Inter played the season with the World Club became a pretext to hold on without to fail. The number one Inter spoke with the players and the coach at the end of training. Could be considered a ritual visit (often Moratti follows the finishing team) were it not for the sensitive time, as confirmed by yesterday's statement, when the president spoke of a "need for psychological support for the players" and asked for a change of "character, otherwise you do not win the World Cup". All considerations turned to Benitez today Pinetina.

Moratti will reach the team early next week, Monday 13, two days before the semi-final, first race of the World. The president wanted with the team but we were immediately to the Paolillo (departure scheduled for tomorrow at 11 from Malpensa). E Paolillo said that everyone will have a change of pace, not only for Benitez, but also the players, "Moratti took stock of the situation with Benitez and the players. The World is the point crucial for the whole team, it is our goal. With the World Cup is much at stake, not just the coach. There's at stake is the dignity of the company, the team of all. Inter are without doubt able to go to Abu Dhabi and win the World Cup. You just have to start from scratch and think about that goal, then everyone else. Must free the mind. Then the stresses to the concept expressed yesterday by Moratti: The future of Benitez? At this time we think to win and everything will then be evaluated by the president.

This means that even victory in the Middle East can provide the confirmation to the Spaniard who always seems most at home alone Inter. His hope is to recover important players: Milito has worked with the company, while Julio Cesar, Maicon Chivu and have trained in part with the group and partly on their own. Will leave for Abu Dhabi and even the young Obi Coutinho injured. Benitez is in a paradoxical situation: it must win, but its future seems already mortgaged. It might not be enough even win the World Cup anyway because, as explained Paolillo, if the interaction is to be in Abu Dhabi is the great successes of the" triple play, for great results in 2010. It an appeal to those players that they may return a few months ago. But it is also a warning to Benitez called to perfect a long way. And then maybe to pass the baton to others. Arrive after Mourinho was very difficult. Do so after the Spaniard could be much more convenient for a coach who will have to start from scratch.

Lazio believes "We shield to"

2010-12-04T21:15:00.003+07:00

The victory against Inter Milan Lazio has raised ambitions. From Hernanes to Zarate, now the word 'tricolor' is no longer taboo

ROME - Fever 38, as the matches without a win against the big. To Reja is therefore fever league. The technician carnico cut down the last taboo remains in silence, but it is the dream for him to Lazio: "The league does not make us afraid".

HERNANES "WON THANKS TO PUBLIC" - already regret not having taken the Pinetina that Brazil took the victory last night dragged biancoceleste training. Hernanes was ecstatic after the meeting: "It's a magical evening". In 40 thousand, in the pouring rain, cheered and shouted the name of Brazil: "The thrust of the public has helped us to play a great performance against a major team like Inter". A beat after 7 years since. Hernanes of a hand was seen in each of the three goals he scored from Lazio. Was close to head the ball during the first goal of Biava, he ladled out a cross-millimeter ball on the feet of Zarate. Then, he allowed personal glory: a venomous free-kick on the pole Castellazzi, the goal and the race in a North delirious. The saudade for Brazil is now diminished by the Capitoline heat: "It's clear that I miss my family and my friends both of St. Paul in Recife, but defeats the nostalgia over the phone and through the affection of Lazio fans. Here in Rome I am very well, I'm adapting to the great". Of course, an intercontinental flight would not mind book it as soon as possible: "I have to continuously do well at Lazio - Hernanes insists - and I'm sure Menezes will give me my chance with the Selecao".

ZARATE LIGHTS, THE TOTTENHAM FREMO - Hernanes but it was not the only star of the magical evening and failed to obscure the immense talent of Zarate. And Maurito changed, in fact changed its character: "I'm still the same - said the Argentine - but I think I'm growing in my mind, even if I still have much to learn. They helped me and the advice of Mr. my companions. Now I can really play anywhere. From the second toe or pointed, it does not matter, Reja only asks me to help on defense when there is a need". Any disagreement with the technician is past: "Last year he came running and we could not work a lot - Zarate confessed - and this year we had the opportunity to confront well". And the fruits you are seeing, especially in recent races. The number 10 has scored his third goal, which is identical score of bloody last season, but today it is only three months. And it is only the beginning of a great year, "We are not afraid to utter the word championship". That touch below Maurito for 2-0 Lazio did move his brother Sergio, in the gallery to admire him, and attracted even more attention of Tottenham, which the courts this summer. It matters little that the last offering of this great English club has more than 10 million Giovani dos Santos, Lotito does not want to hear about it, "Zarate is not for sale".

ARIES STILL LOOKING? - For the president biancoceleste not even need a new striker, "Floccari is one of the strongest points of the league". Yesterday, the bomber of Vibo Valencia did not find the goal, but remains the top scorer with five goals biancoceleste training, which has so far scored with nine players. However, Reja not mind a battering ram: "We miss centimeters forward", he always said, several times. Hugo Almeida, after the summer court, has never been forgotten, but the Portuguese has instead resigned to not being a Galactica: "It would be a dream to play for Real Madrid". His agent Jorge Mendes, coincidentally the same as Mourinho is trying. Lazio expect: "We'll see, nobody has made me feel even more from Rome", reveals Hugo. It also ensures Alofs ds Werder Bremen: "There is no proposal has come and still want to renew the contract of our bombers". Almeida is due to expire in 2011 and is, with 9 goals, the current top scorer in the German formation. In Manchester there is still Santa Cruz on the market: seduced and abandoned in late August by Lotito, has already refused to Wolfsburg in January. In England, screaming the name of Babel for the Lazio attack, Holland to Janko, Turkey instead check a new candidate: Sahin Aygunes. The tip of Kasimpasa, 1.80 cm high twenties and have EU passport, was viewed by ds Tare during the match between Italy and Turkey, and costs just € 750 thousand. If you were to get a new ram, it should be via Kozak, not Rocchi: "In January, he will not move", assures Palmer, agent of the captain of Lazio.

LEDESMA THAN BRONCO: "LAZIO THAT COMPANY" - Last night he attended the fair goals, even dances opened and closed every opening in the defense of their opponents, Biava now awaits only the signature to put on an imminent renewal until 2012. Muslera also been expecting for months to do the same until 2015. Lazio is prevaricating and Arsenal is pressing Fonseca, manager team defender to take him to England. Will this situation of uncertainty, but the Uruguayan somewhere has lost the usual security that had marked, especially on the conclusions from a distance. In any case, Lotito continues to monitor the situation Marchetti: goalkeeper in January could disengage from Cagliari and is an old ball. For the defense is just waiting for a response from Miranda in June. Too early to think about it, now you can enjoy all the Lazio deserved rest before the Juve. In Turin, the players strike permitting, there will be the suspended Radu: we will work to the meniscus before Christmas vacation. Garrido strongly doubt, it will almost certainly halt the raids Cavanda Krasic. Three days of holiday and Tuesday's new all at work. Ledesma, sulking yesterday for the exclusion from the first minute, has already found a smile for the victory of Lazio: "A great company". The Argentine has to recover its place immediately, but will not be easy with a Matuzalem in great shape. From Foggia check struggling with a muscle strain. Against Juventus we will Lichtsteiner, noted special Delneri: January could be looming in a dramatic exchange market with Momo Sissoko. It will not be easy, however, overcome the difficulties regarding the assignment of the former Liverpool midfielder.

Stankovic, alarm back It ok for the World

2010-12-04T21:09:00.004+07:00

Benitez can breathe a sigh of relief for Serbia, out of an injury against Lazio only a muscle strain. Will miss the trip to Bremen on Tuesday for precautionary

LONDON - Resentment at the semitendinosus muscle of the left thigh, the World Club is not at risk. This diagnosis for Dejan Stankovic, who last night came out during the match against Lazio at the Olimpico.

The player will miss - as a precaution - the last Champions League match scheduled for next Tuesday in Bremen, where the Nerazzurri will challenge the Germans Werder. Inter have already qualified to the knockout stage. The crowded infirmary while Inter are beginning slowly to empty: there is good news indeed also to the recovery of Mariga and Milito, who today have done a full session of 60 minutes.

"For the championship We are here"

2010-12-03T21:39:00.003+07:00

Vincenzo Iaquinta European stores the early elimination of Juve and plunged about the league: "We have a young team, but with such quality. We play to the end." The possible arrival of an attacker, "Competition stimulates me"

TURIN - "we play to the end. Juve is not inferior to anyone". Vincenzo Iaquinta flexes its muscles, and relies entirely on the wheel of the season. The commitment on Sunday evening at the home of Catania, the third consecutive year the Lady "by night" is a key step to scale the high ranking. Both teams want to dispel a taboo Statistics: Juventus will try to break the bank to Massimino for the first time in 2010 (Catania is the only team unbeaten at home in the calendar year) while training Etna attempt to overcome the Lady of the walls to friends 46 years after the last time (3-1, 27 September 1964). Free international commitments, Juve can make the assault in third place, seasonal minimum target: "Now we can work harder during the week. The tournament is balanced - Iaquinta continues - will fight to the end. We are a good team that is already grown a lot and will do so again. The goal is not a problem because we always find at least one. Maybe we should try to take less. But the coach pays great attention to the tactics, particularly in the defensive phase, and the improvements we have seen". To feed the dream tricolor, Juve will place some quality shots on the repair market. Marotta is the target of an attacker, but Iaquinta is ready to compete inside: "Too bad that Amauri has done wrong, the company now will assess what to do, but competition does not bother me. In fact, I charge more".

BITTER CUP - The bitterness of the untimely departure from the scene of Europe League has not yet disposed of. And the controversy over the ice field of Lech Poznan are not yet frozen, "We are disappointed by the elimination - reaffirms Iaquinta, who scored the goal dell'illusorio 1 to 1 - because you could go forward. Unfortunately, we have collected five draws, while might have been enough to win a game to go through. In Poznan we created many chances but we failed to exploit them, and this is a real shame. In any case I think the second time would not have had to play: the field was full of ice and snow. It must be said that this round of Champions League matches have been played on other fields less viable than Miejska stadium in Poznan. See, for believing the images of Young Boys 4-2 and Rapid Vienna-Stuttgart-Porto 1-3.

To Catania - Sicily In Iaquinta will collect his hundredth presence in black and white, including league and cup: I hope I feel good physically, because I recently suffered a series of injuries that stopped me. With this shirt I played a hundred matches with 40 goals, a good average. Against Catania will be a tough match. Massimino Al has always been tough, but that's okay, we are loads and fight for three points. This morning, the team has played a tactical work. Motta and Legrottaglie have been training in a group, confirming the progress of the past: both will be invited to Catania. Sitting in the gym planned for Del Piero and Bonucci, even at their disposal. In the absence of the suspended Marchisio, Delneri returns to the classic 4-4-2: instead of the outside-the median pure-play wing as Pepe. Compared with Juve last seen in Poland, the defending back Storari, Motta and Grosso, Chiellini-Bonucci tandem with the center. In midfield Delneri found the winning pair Aquilani-Melo, with the sting Krasic right. Forward space Quagliarella Iaquinta, Del Piero ready to relay.

DEL PIERO: "AS ELEVEN PENGUINS" - Del Piero also, through the pages of his website, he wanted his say on the cold suffered in Poznan: I had never played in those conditions, and say that I've played lots of games. Ice fields, time polar blizzard. In short, he seemed to play a game at the Polo, but instead of penguins in the field we were there. No rhetoric, maybe we should stop for a moment and think it makes sense to all this? For God's sake, this is an extreme case, it is difficult to be playing in those areas and spaces. ricapitare But if it should in the future, is the case ask questions and try to make a game so no more games. Words that do not have to go for an alibi: Warning, do not say this to justify our elimination from Europe League, which unfortunately does not weigh only on the draw in Poznan, but the other four previous. It's a general discussion, more wide, which I think is right to do. The belief that you have given everything it gets the elimination a bit more digestible "We regret having left Europe League, because we did not want to leave anything on the street. I think the match played against Lech shows that we have done everything possible. Now we must look forward focusing on our key objectives, which are still there. Beginning with Sunday's match in Catania. There will be at least thirty degrees more than in Poznan, thank goodness".

MELO: "CONCENTRATE, OR THERE MASSACRE" - Our goal is to win something. This year we have the chance and we have to try until the end. The voice is that of Felipe Melo. The Brazilian is convinced that the median intake in Scoppola Europa League can be helpful to the Lady: "This experience made us realize that all games need to be addressed carefully. We played against teams emblazoned less of us, yet we can not win. Sure, it's ugly exit from the competition in this way. Play 13 degrees below zero, sensing a temperature even lower, it was terrible. I had never taken the field with conditions so strict and in fact when I came back in the locker room, I felt evil. I looked like a Santa Claus The past is past, you turn the page and is thought to Catania: "This year we were able to show our strength on the field great teams: I think the games against Milan, Inter, Genoa and Udinese. Sunday we can do well, but we will be focused from the first minute, otherwise we massacre". By the end of his outburst, Felipe Melo reiterates its desire to remain at Juve despite, according to some newspapers on-line, Real Madrid interested in him: "I'm fine here, if I wanted to go I would have done the last year. I feel good with the fans and the whole environment. My children play in the school football team Juventus Turin and my wife loves, so much so that we have taken up residence here. They are linked to Juve and I have no intention of leave it".

Adriano and Ronaldinho goodbye is one step

2010-12-03T21:14:00.003+07:00

The two strikers are not good and they have demonstrated. Ranieri happy and, at a press conference, dismiss them. The Milan coach, "No one is here against his will". And Romanesque architecture on the former Inter striker: "My philosophy is: if I'm not fine, I go away". Ronaldo from Brazil: "Adri wants to come to the Corinthians"

ROME - Ronaldinho and Adriano? They can go. From Milan to Rome, is the black day of the Brazilians. Allegri actually distrust the imagination. Ranieri takes note of the final failure of the red and yellow summer bet: to raise high levels Adriano. The reality however is as heavy as the former Inter striker, never dropped below one hundred kilograms.

HAPPY: "NO ONE IS TO MILAN RELUCTANTLY" - "Ronaldinho in Milan I'm just saying there must be those players who want to stay there. The results depend on the technical qualities and motivations that you have inside, is to keep players against their counter-productive". Massimiliano Allegri, Milan coach, thus responding to a question about the future of Ronaldinho. "I, but the company before me, does not take players reluctantly", said Milanello at a news conference on the eve of the important match against Brescia tomorrow night at San Siro.

RANIERI: "If Adriano is not well, go away" - Even Ranieri, after having defended, protected, protected Adriano can not hide: "There are players who are ahead of him - says the coach - it was at Rome with all these championship game ever. Adriano knows that if he wants to talk to me my dressing room is always open, but I know it is difficult to respond to newspapers on the other side of the ocean, we need to see if it is true and as has been reported what he said. But I do not know if it will go on loan. My life philosophy is: if I'm good I'm leaving. I also say to the players, if you're not good is going right, you should not do things against his will. For example, I am well and rest".

In the eyes of Adrian, the mesh of Rome has the colors of a memory than a present of a living and a future win. This week, the statements to the Brazilian press to open the door to a return to Brazil at Corinthians Ronaldo. A Trigoria, the pounds have not come down: No more than two three, despite diets, individual training programs. In addition, despite the sympathy of all, a report (from the perspective of the attacker) never took off with Ranieri, also because of the exclusions, of which the attacker has pleaded with his countrymen. Even the arrival in Rome of the family, mpoglie Danielle, Adrianinho and children Sophia, has improved mood and playing time in the field, stopped at two games in Serie A, four total but no more than a few clips. At this point, the bet that Adriano Rosella Sensi has hastily called "won" the day of presentation at the Flaminio, seems to have come to an end.

RONALDO: "WANT TO COME TO ADRIANO CORINTHIANS" - It is true, I talked to Adrian and he said that Rome is not happy. He wants to play, but he did not care are given the opportunity. It' s a complicated situation, and he must solve it: if we succeed, then his arrival in the Corinthians would be a big blow. I perceived in him a desire to play here. "During his press conference Ronaldo also spoke of his friend and colleague with whom he admitted to feeling "every week, by phone or via the Internet". According to the phenomenon, contracts or less, the will of the player for a possible transfer at the end reveals more fundamental: things are simple, everything depends on the will of the player - said Ronaldo -. From personal experience, since I changed my team sometimes, I say that when I moved because I was always really wanted, I also fought for it. Sometimes I put it in terms of financial or sports, but nobody has been able to hold.

"In football, always depends on the will of the player - he said the former Barcelona, Inter and Real Madrid - so if Adriano wants to play in Corinthians, we want him to come. Moreover, any club would be interested in someone like him. However I've just asked him if he was interested to come here".

Adriano on the subject, after it had been reported the words of the phenomenon, was also the president of Corinthians Andre Sanches, Head of Delegation of Brazil to the World Cup in South Africa. "Officially, our club did not deal with Adriano. Sanches said his agent Gilmar Rinaldi has been here for half an hour but we have not talked about this: it is a story about the same as Ronaldo and Adriano. If he offers for Ronaldo the salary of the other, then Adriano can go. But if you tell me I have to take despite the Roma, this is impossible: first he must find a way to break free".

Mai refused Naples waste

2010-12-02T20:56:00.002+07:00

Modesto Kuzmanovic and denied having said no to the club because of the emergency blue living the city. An official of the Serbian: "A beautiful place, it would never give up"

NAPLES - Naples "Several players have refused because of the waste". The declaration comes from Napoli's sporting director, Riccardo Bigon. Players say no to the north, Italy and Europe. Modesto Kuzmanovic and the two athletes who according to press the court would have rejected the club's blue. From both, however, comes a blunt denial.

Categorically denies the news is absolutely false, said a Kiss Kiss Napoli Marko Naletelic, Zdravko Kuzmanovic's agent, former Fiorentina's Serbian midfielder today in Stuttgart. Zdravko not reject a possible transfer to Naples, in fact. This does not tell the player if he wants to Naples, he moved to blue. And of Stuttgart. The Napoli is a great club, a beautiful place, how can say no? Kuzmanovic has not rejected anything, because he was not offered anything. But in any case would not say no to Naples by garbage.

Same tone of the statement on the website of Francesco Modesto from Genoa, Calabria Crotone. "Categorically denies - he says - have declined in the past a transfer to Naples, because environmental emergency in the capital area".

Europe snubbed It 's the first disappointment

2010-12-02T20:49:00.003+07:00

The exit from Europe League is a blow to the image and prestige of the club. A pledge too high, which has the only positive thing that can save energy for the championship

POZNAN (Poland) - Juventus have prematurely left Europe talking about snow and ice, not the failures and disappointments: the strategy of diversion, we shift our attention from an uncomfortable subject (the deletion is a very serious, for the ambitions of the eagle) to another on which to discuss, even threatening to have the reasons. "It was not a regular game", he protested Delneri, as well as all the Juventus players. "They were in the worst conditions I've ever played", said Del Piero, while Marotta said they have applied unsuccessfully to postpone the game, which would have been useful to get some injured. "I tried during the interval, but the referee told me that there were conditions to play. For me this is not football, there were no conditions under which we could win the game".

Yet, until deleting consecrated Juventus had denied having lobbied UEFA to postpone the match against Lech Poznan, despite having done everything that happened, including to bring a thermometer on the bench in the hope that over the temperature falls to -15°: then, by regulation, the company would have the right to request the suspension. Speaking of this, Juve have avoided that tackled the real issue, which is this: the team failed to win even one international match against modest opponents
(Such as Lech and especially the Salzburg), earning a deletion that the snow has finally and only facilitated. "However, the end result of this match is not the child" has in some way accept Delneri: the faults lie in the results that have preceded the last, but also in the ease with which Juventus went into the Europa League as clearly set second place in the league since the company has decided to reinforce with two players who could not be registered as voters Uefa (Aquilani and Quagliarella) and voluntarily exclude other three (Grosso, Salihamidzic, Sorensen) that would serve much in Poznan .

This is why many people consider healthy, even if not blessed, elimination: will save energy, have an advantage against those who objectively in Europe will continue to manage and lead the way with more comfort with the emergency accidents. The output from the cups is particularly damaging to the image and prestige, rather than for social funds: at best, ie in case of victory, Juventus could raise ten million less than what it's worth the qualification to the Champions League. So now Delneri can explain that "this disappointment will weigh zero, there will indeed stimulate and trust. In Europe there through the back door". Certainly, the international appeal of Juventus is beaten: the last year in the first round exit from the Champions League and Europe in the second round in the UEFA rankings continues to recede and contributes to the distance from the shrimp he is doing entire Italian football. But you can still give blame the snow.

2018-2022 World Cup, FIFA choose between poisons and suspected

2010-12-01T19:48:00.002+07:00

In Zurich, the International Federation shall determine the locations of the forthcoming World Championships. Spain-Portugal, England and Russia favored for 2018. Hypothesis Japan, South Korea and Australia for 2022

ZURICH - And come forward to make a decision. Tomorrow will designate the locations of the Fifa World Cup 2018 and 2022. In Zurich, in front of the highest offices of the football world, the Executive Board of the International Football Association will complete the process of double allocation. President Joseph Blatter will store a practice that in recent weeks is quite complicated. Everyone will remember the Sunday Times that investigations have revealed the deficiencies of the two members of FIFA, the Nigerian Amos Adamu and Tahitian Reynald Temari, accused of having sold their votes in the world. The two managers were suspended and tomorrow will not be able to vote. Will instead be present and ready to vote Ricardo Teixeira, Nicolas Leoz and Issa Hayatou, according to the BBC, had received money from Isl, a company that managed the World Cup TV rights.

APPLICATIONS - According to a report released by Fifa two weeks ago, it was not easy to find a favorite. As for the edition of 2018, the nominations of Spain-Portugal, England and Russia are in pole position than that of Netherlands-Belgium, judged 'medium risk'. Spain-Portugal-Belgium and the Netherlands would have no problems as regards the economic aspect, but must deal with the skepticism that accompanies the applications when it comes to joint the World Cup. England is the ideal market for sponsorships in the world, and would have a absolute success with regard to the sale of TV rights, the problem concerns the requirements for training camps and offer hospitality. Russia is not convincing from the point of the TV. It would be quite complicated to sell a tournament spread over different time zones.

EDITION 2022 - In the race we have Japan, South Korea and Australia. These projects would provide a substantial business growth in Asia and Oceania, but the public would be reduced compared to the European television standard. In the second row are the candidates of the United States and Qatar. The first would seem to suffer from a limited public engagement, while the latter would certainly be a major advantage in economic terms. The main problem is the climate of Qatar. Fifa inspectors, the U.S. reminding '94, are wondering about the danger that we would play in competitions with very high temperatures.

We want to move forward for Scirea

2010-12-01T17:42:00.003+07:00

Bianconeri in Poznan, is a success to pursue the qualification: you play to -17°. Delneri usual problems of training, a company that wants to dedicate the champion, who died 21 years ago in Poland

POZNAN (Poland) - The polar climate of Poznan - today was 7 degrees, but tomorrow night I laid -17° - does not freeze the ambitions of the eagle: "Juve are stronger than the cold - Judgement Claudio Marchisio -. Features climate there should not be conditioned. Lech Poznan Against will be playing anything but easy, very warm in a stadium-wide audience". After the low of the internal against Fiorentina, Juventus morale is certainly not to the stars. To review the smile on their faces, and while not losing sight of the road for the sixteenth-finals of the Champions League tomorrow Miejska stage (21 hours, a direct Italy) Juve will win: "After the 1-1 against Fiorentina - Marchisio concluded - we were a bit down, but our spirit is back now good, as well as the physical condition".

"Go through and Scirea HONOR" - These are the slogans uttered by Delneri the eve of the match against Lech Poznan. It will also be the younger sister of the Champions League but Europe still deserves respect: "For us, all competitions are important, both the league cup. Sorry to go out, we came here to go through and fight for it. We effort and time spent in this competition and we want to move forward. The last performance of Juventus in the league say we have a good chance of succeeding. The polar climate should not be an alibi: I did not warm to us lately, it's important that the field is not frozen. The cold then, is equal for all. Lech is more used? Although we happened to play with the temperature below zero. I do not think it will be a determining factor. In closing, a thought to Gaetano Scirea, the champions Juventus in Poland just disappeared Sept. 3 1989: "Juventus - Delneri concludes - is in this country for the first time since that terrible accident. We will try in every way to honor Gary, a great champion and a great man who has given so much to football".

Chiellini: "WE ARE NOT HERE TO RIDE" - Giorgio Chiellini also reply to those who argue strongly that Juve would be a fortune out of Europe League in the championship: It seems that Juve is just a trip, but it is not. Moving ahead is important and would give us international experience. Exit would be a disappointment. A team like ours must always try to win in any competition. We do not want to close the group stage without a win. The try in both games remaining, since we still have the chance to finish first. We have great respect for Lech Poznan, but we want to go through. Under pressure, we did see things better.

CAMILLERI-Traore, Odd Couple - Consistent with the rose decimated by eight and five injured players off the list Uefa Delneri will still try to give some rest some of his. Probably the use of Manninger instead of Storari, while in midfield will pull the breath Felipe Melo. In its place, off to Sissoko who will team up with Marchisio (suspended in the league), while Krasic (in run-off with Lanzafame) and is released by Pepe on the flanks, ready to supply bearers of the pair of attack-Del Piero Iaquinta. The baby Camilleri, 18 will debut in the role of absolute black and white right-back (Motta and Grygera are ko, Sorensen not used): "It's the only one available - Delneri cut short - has already experienced it all abroad and has already started to some degree against Reggina". Traore will play the French Left, the debut from the first minute. That made Camilleri and Traore is the eighth (odd) pair of fullbacks used by Delneri. The start of the season was to Motta and De Ceglie, then Grygera and De Ceglie, Motta and Grygera, Rinaudo and Grygera, and Pepe Motta, Motta and Grosso, Sorensen and Grosso. The waltz continues.

PEPE: "We want EUROPE LEAGUE" - The free-kick prowess of Simone Pepe, who last Saturday allowed Fiorentina to Juventus to reach the cover 1-1, is already on file. Like a fine of 40 000 € saddled the club "to have his supporters, 9', 10' and 18' for the first time, launched in the area occupied by the opposing fans three firecrackers, with grave consequences for one of them. Behind angle is the Europe League: "The cup is not a burden for us - the choir joins Pepe - we keep going. It is true that so far we have not made great games, but if we are still in the race means that even the others are different". Forte for third place in the league and a streak of thirteen successful league and cup, Juventus is convinced that the company is possible: "The condition and morale are good - the outer ends of Albano Laziale -. Tomorrow we want to beat the Lech and closer to qualification".

Polish border - Good news for Juventus: Lech Poznan is also in an emergency: On Saturday, many have had problems - said the Polish coach Jose Maria Baker - but I hope they can recover. This kind of games are very important, also from the psychological point of view and I hope that everyone is available. The cold climate is the odd man out, an opponent more: The important thing to note is that the field and that there is snow. In the last few races the land was not in perfect condition, but we will do everything to ensure that it is tomorrow night. Juve inspires a certain awe former Barcelona forward: They have everything: history, fans, love the people and also play very well. Who scares me more? The Bianconeri have a solid structure and for this I am afraid more collective than a single player. To win, we will have to be perfect. Among the ailments Rudnevs there is also the author of a hat-trick in the 3-3 came. Here are his tips for beating the cold: There is a common recipe. Someone puts a thermal vest, tights others. Juve players will be penalized by frost? Not think so. They're used to playing with extreme cold. What is changed from the first leg? Now we're in first place in the group, but we must not stop here.

Ibra calls Balotelli "It would be nice"

2010-11-30T21:44:00.003+07:00

The Swede speaks of his former partner: "It 's a great player and intelligent, like to go back to playing both together". He then announces: In three years it stopped. And on Mourinho: We often hear today, I reckon. But I have never explained why I had sold to Barca

MILAN - Zlatan Ibrahimovic CALL Balotelli. "Mario, which is a great player, has proved to be too clever. It would be nice to get back to playing both together. Also for the Milan fans". The Swedish striker of AC Milan, who in an interview to the number of newsstands tomorrow, talks about the 20 year old Italian-Ghanaian who turns the dreams of the people and that the Rossoneri, after flirting continued and each other with words of appreciation Galliani, seems destined to wear the shirt AC Milan, if not in January, however, soon, very soon. SuperMario, which is playing its first season with the shirt of Manchester City, has been a fellow of Ibra Inter.

The Swede then broadens the analysis to the current situation in Milan and his amazing time. "Milan is a fantastic club in every respect: the attention to detail by the organization, facilities professionals who every day put heart and soul into their work. I am honored to be part of this group. It could be my ultimate experience". And then: "I do not see a player in the football scene that looks like me", he adds. "There are unique and rare".

In another interview given to Vanity Fair, Ibra prices rise, Yes, I feel the strongest player in the world, if you do not think do not go out to one hundred percent. To me there is no second. And then announces: "Three years at most, then I retire. You have to stop when you're on top".

During Ibra the same interview he talked a lot about Mourinho, by clearly shows respect for his former coach. "We are similar because we speak clear and concrete. My only regret is that we have worked together for just one year. But in a year we have done great things, said Ibrahimovic. If you call me at Real Madrid? No. I am a Milan player now and not think of nothing else. Then the relationship with the so-called Special One: In the field many times I yelled and cursed me if I was not playing well even before others, but this is right. Mourinho in the field was transformed players like us. But I was never told how made the decision to sell to Barcelona. We often hear today, but of this I have never spoken.

"Manotazo to Mourinho" The press mocks the Special One

2010-11-30T18:40:00.003+07:00

Five goals and a lesson momentous: the day after the Clasico is a mix of Catalan pride and ironic title against the Real coach. Sport is "slap in the face" to Mou. England Barça-Real becomes "Hell Clasico"

BARCELONA - An "Manita" in the face of the myth, all Invincibile, the Special One. Indeed, a "Manita en el asses" as the headline in the Argentine sports daily Ole. Mourinho in the Clasico Barca humiliate (5-0 final) and the world, almost can not wait, rages against the technical Setubal, the true one and only defeat of the match at Camp Nou. The aim of the criticism is not the Real, of course, but his snooty, envied, unapproachable technical guide. The statements in the past (most recently, last week, I'm happy to be presumptuous) now, almost for retaliation, the collapsed on him and offer him bare-chested in front of the barrage of press.

In dopopartita, trying to minimize the terms of a historic defeat - the worst of his career at a high level so far spent on the bench for Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real - Mourinho had spoken of two teams at different times, the boat is a Task Team, Real not yet. Yes, but the Spanish press this counts for little. Not the Real, but Mourinho has lost. And here are the titles, some of which are brilliant, formidable.

Catalan Sport celebrates the glory days of club azulgrana titled "Manotazo Mourinho to" a handful, five fingers straight in the face of the Portuguese coach. A game is completed players, and the public of the enormous Camp Nou began to wave his hand open in front of the Blancos. God invented the football, summarizes the Barcelona newspaper and Barça has the ball. Also, El Mundo Deportivo "reply with a huge" 5-0 on the front page with Valdes and Piquet who raise their hands with the five and the word "Bano to Madrid". According to El Mundo Deportivo, "Barcelona, Real Madrid has eaten". Obra Maestra en el Camp Nou, the headline in the newspaper, which then speaks of Orgasm Team, speaking of 14 players (the 11 plus three changes) that have touched perfection in the field. "Barca humiliate Real with a manina" La Vanguardia headline, adding, "Mourinho blow to Madrid". "The lion's roar" headline article, that speaks of "a lesson in technique Pep Mou" and explains that the boat had "humiliated Madrid with a wonderful recital".
"The boat Guardiola humiliates Real Mourinho's crazy and the Camp Nou" El Periodico also writes: "Messi Ronaldo has silenced" he said.

On the Madrid, Marca recognizes the superiority of Barcelona: "Mouchisimo Barça". "This Barcelona is a machine", adds the newspaper madrid. "Goleados y Desquiciados" As the newspaper headline the other hand, by suggesting that in addition to having suffered five goals Real Madrid has been scrambled from Barcelona who gave a real lesson in the game, at times mocking the hated rivals. "De futbol habla el Barça", El Pais writes that instead speaks of "Superb class team play Real Madrid Barca who disassembles a powerless". El Pais talks about "superb team azulgrana lesson that annihilates a Real impotent". "Cuando gana el futbol" is the title of another article that is posted next to photos in which Cristiano Ronaldo takes a shove to Guardiola. The Madrid daily jokes even on repeated provocation against Barca Mourinho: "when the propaganda gives way to football - he writes El Pais - wins the boat, for endless hours, and nothing remains of the verbal excesses and its many spokesmen Mou, outnumbered, he and they, in Gran Clasico". The same Mourinho, the newspaper notes, the rain has been no further deliveries to his players to make do as best they could. Football humiliates Mourinho, broadcast the other major newspaper in general of Madrid, El Mundo.

THE REST OF THE WORLD - The echo of mourinhana defeat is very strong in England, the country that has adopted the technical footballing Setubal and where Mourinho would end his career. "Mourinho skewered by the sword of the magnificence of Messi", the Times writes that celebrates not only the show but also gave the boat its concreteness: "In front of an audience of 400 million people, Barcelona have played football from another planet". "Superiority", commented the Times, "so obvious that in the end the Catalan people, it has also forgotten to Mourinho".

"Real skewered sunk", says the Guardian, for Mou "the worst defeat of his career", came from the irreverent "and shouting Ole" of 100 thousand at the Nou Camp. The only consolation for the Portuguese, the awareness that Barcelona is "a very special team", said the British newspaper, with an imperious style, an amazing range control, impeccable phrasing, and a Messiah simply sublime. For the Daily Telegraph it was a masterpiece of football, a glorious revenge on Mourinho, referring to the Champions League last year when Inter had the treble just deleted the Blaugrana. From Hell to El Clasico Clasico, that is a classic of hell for Mourinho, who was forced to kneel - the Daily Mail - in front of one of the best team performance of all time.

In Germany, the press writes that the "Galacticos" are those of Barcelona, L'Equipe in France with an eloquent headline "Great", the 5-0 that Barcelona has trimmed at Real Madrid, England, the press release of the "day-after" is particularly painful for Mourinho. There he became a "special one", but today the papers are all on the side of Barcelona's great that he "humiliated Mourinho and his Real Madrid". One of the most entertaining titles of the site is greek "Sport 24". Special One, 2, 3, 4, 5. And now you can bet that many will rename Jose Mourinho "special five".

Beretta-stage system Italian to an end "

2010-11-29T17:39:00.004+07:00

The chairman of the Football League has spoken of the structures of our country: "We have the most outdated park stages of Europe". In many countries, the stadiums are financed with public money, but Beretta is not the best solution: "We do not want to take a citizen".

ROME - Maurizio Beretta, after returning to snow-Chievo Bologna, he returned to talk about the stages of the Italian football system. A Radio Anch'io Sport on Radio 1, the president of Serie A football league, said: "Our system has arrived at the terminal stages, is the rope. We must look to more efficient countries where the stadiums are owned by the companies that have the overall responsibility and which represented a quantum leap is very important for all those that revolve around the football". Beretta underlined the inefficiency of the structures of our country, stressing that:

"We park the most outdated stadiums in Europe, and this is no longer acceptable. The stages should live all week, have their registered offices of the club, the museum must allow fans to experience a slice of football as well the game. The legal framework for the stadiums, the Senate unanimously voted a year ago, lies in the House. However, there are signs that these days can quickly take the last part of the journey".
In many countries, the stadiums are financed with public money, but given the difficult time the Italian financial need groped other ways: "In this country's current situation and public finance would be wrong to ask for just one euro to the public purse, so we want to make the stage without taking a euro to the public.
Of course, nothing is built from scratch, it takes resources, the idea is to have the opportunity to build something related to the stadium, but parameterised investment. The dimensions are decided by the municipality and other political actors that participate in the program. The stadiums do not generate profits not only today, but accumulate debts".
The number one of the Football League back then on the postponement of the race in Bologna, stressing that more advanced systems should be introduced to prevent this from happening: "The sheet was, although in 2010 it would take fields and stadiums heated with different architectures. And a quantum leap has to be done. The problem of land is always the same, because the truth is that the maintenance of the pitch, in most cases, it is up to municipalities. We are always looking to solicit".

Ronaldo Barça challenge "Winning at all costs"

2010-11-28T20:01:00.003+07:00

The ace of the Royal stresses the importance of the challenge with the Blaugrana: can be a decisive count only three points, regardless of performance. Duel with Messi? Nonsense. Casillas: "Do not sign the same". Among the Blaugrana Piqué speaks: "At the Camp Nou our favorites"

MADRID - The countdown is now on its last legs. Forty-eight hours 'Clasico' in Spain do not speak the other for weeks, but now we are waiting for the word and move to the long-awaited challenge to play the sound of the papers Iberian statements. Also because in a league dominated by two large (12 days after the Real Madrid has a length advantage over rivals Catalans), direct confrontation is essential.

RONALDO: "COUNT ONLY 3 POINTS" - In essence, Barcelona-Real could turn in a final despite playing the 13/a day. It is convinced Cristiano Ronaldo, who is preparing to lead the attack in the merengue supersfida scheduled Monday at the Camp Nou. The clasico can be decisive, but we can not know. We go to win, count only 3 points - said the Portuguese ace, who does not want to hear about a duel with Leo Messi - nonsense. I am a Real player Madrid. I'm going, but I have no pressure from the other. We all want to always play well, I'm not obsessed with goals. How will the team coached by Jose Mourinho in the field of Spanish champions? If you want to attack and not defend yourself, you're dead - Ronaldo responds without offering too many directions -. In a football game the main thing is to win. Regardless of performance, count three points.

CASILLAS: "DETERMINED TO WIN" - The mate Iker Casillas, the Spanish national team's number one world champion, believes that 'blancos' win at the Camp Nou. This year we are determined to win - it ensures the Real keeper, interviewed by the newspaper brand - and even if we have a point ahead of Barcelona, I do not sign for a draw. There is a lot of balance between us and this Clasico can be decisive for the Liga. Casillas is also talk of Mourinho ("we got used to him never to lose") and the challenge in the challenge between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi: "They are two very different players, as are Real Madrid and Barcelona".

PIQUET: "FAVORITES BY FACTOR FIELD" - obviously I do not think the same way in Catalonia as a World Champion Pique. The Clasico is by definition a balanced game and when there is balance factor field allows you to have a slight advantage, that's why I think we're the favorites - says the central Barcelona - we are in good condition, but no can say what will happen.
Pique speaks to supporters, asking heat and maximum support, but also very correct: "The image of the pig in the field at the time of launch Figo - he remembers - did not appeal to any fan of Barca and I hope there are episodes like this, but I'm sure nothing will happen to all of this and that at the Camp Nou will be the right atmosphere".

MOURINHO NO CONDITION - the main threat to the Real Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo. We must be very careful not to give him a chance to think, or give him space, but above all we must hope that is not in a day, says Piqué, which then also gives a beat up Jose Mourinho: His presence will not affect our performance; all play as we know, we are accustomed to Mourinho and we must not give him the chance to feel more character than it already happens.

The objective of Allegri On the run to Christmas

2010-11-28T18:26:00.004+07:00

The calendar is a friend, here at home because of the Rossoneri with Samp was welcomed. Is it not happened, but the team has shown to be well and have now found one of his physiognomy. The coach points to reach the break with a substantial lead over second

GENOA - "I'm glad the team has character and I like it" (Galliani). It's been one of the best games of our season, I am satisfied (Allegri). Great game, we can get to the bottom with the first place (Thiago Silva). We must continue on this road (Abbot). We gave everything and we're always first in the championship (Nesta). Rarely a tie that looks like a victory not so much as the AC Milan 1-1 Sampdoria at home, is greeted with such phrases. But the awareness of the team that it was still above the opponent, from a technical and physical, than the disappointment of the result. And the statistics - Sampdoria has lost only once this season at Marassi, that even without Cassano remains a difficult area to break (and to walk on, because of the bumpy) - provides encouraging data to other leaders, in league prospect.

RECORD NOVEMBER - the month that ended the trip to Genoa football club has been the most profitable for Allegri, from every point of view. The numbers are clear: 7 games (5 in the league, 2 in the Champions League, third at the San Siro and 3 off, plus the derby for the timetable has played for Inter in the house), 5 wins, 2 draws, no losses, collected 13 goals and 6. But most importantly it is indicative of the outcome of tactical turn inaugurated in Bari, on 3 November after a 2-2 draw with Real Madrid. Since a bit necessity (Pirlo's injury) and a little choice (for declassification Ronaldinho reserve), was born with three median formula, AC Milan has won five times on six occasions and in the last four after a single goal, to Pazzini in Marassi, and scored 5 increasingly allowing very few opportunities to opponents. It's the sign of an identity by now clear: the priority of the defensive almost zero risk to Abbiati and reverses the trend of the creative team and a little butterfly last season and the first months of the current one.

PRESSING AND RUNNING - The tactical pragmatism, which turn up their nose to the aesthetes, rests on two elements that the game of Genoa has made very clear. Even when faced with a team deployed to defend themselves, and then voted to run and play physical, and despite the effort of the many commitments we deal more or less close with the same training, the Milan is more than just the level of race and contrasts with a small, fatal decline in the first 25 of the recovery, more mental than anything else: the advantage, after a very intense first half, led the laxity that led to the diversion of the corner like Pazzini and the occasion of the blow the wellhead, foiled by Abbiati. But since then the Samp was once again crushed. The mark of Allegri is the pressing, that every game is brought more and more close to the opponent: win the ball so far ahead is to reduce the risks to defend and increase the chance of reaching the draft with two or at most three steps.

ESCAPE IN A CHRISTMAS - It's not the goal stated in Milanello: meet, before the Christmas break, with a substantial advantage over the latter. The calendar is apparently favorable Brescia and Bologna at home away from home. Then, on 19, there will be the last round of 2010 at San Siro, with what, in the tradition of hand, is considered the decisive battle of the fortunate years: the challenge with Roma. For technical and quality media, the staff believes the Rossoneri the most dangerous opponent. The dissertation also suggestive of Thiago Silva is then not considered so far-fetched: If we had beaten Sampdoria and we stayed first in the standings, ahead of the second time, we might have dropped a bit in upcoming games. Instead, after the tie, we will remain focused, thanks to the team spirit we have. The unknown is the amount of energy required by the formula based on the pressing tactics. The other question - Ibrahimovic never rests and Robinho is also becoming indispensable - will be resolved in January, with the return of Pato and the arrival of a bit, to mitigate the effects of the absence of the irreplaceable Inzaghi, the man of impossible situations.

La Juve is close to Milan

2010-11-28T18:15:00.004+07:00

The Bianconeri drew 1-1 with Fiorentina and stay at -6 from the summit. Advantage purple Vargas (SD decisive Motta), amounting to Pepe in the final

NOT ENOUGH twenty minutes well done, both tactical and athletic excellence, to Juve to get on top of Fiorentina. I require a right of purple, and Delneri, just the week that had defied superstition by saying the word championship, remains to -6 from Milan not taking advantage of the Rossoneri with Sampdoria. Overall a step back for Juve, which is not that fantasy, that invention needed in games like that. Good over Fiorentina, which responds to evolving emergency situation (among others also got hurt Gilardino) with an appropriate management tactics.

THE BUTTS VARGAS - With discounted modules, the only things worth mentioning are the latest in the choice of men. The 4-4-2 of Delneri see Del Piero alongside forward Quagliarella. In his 4-2-3-1, Mihajlovic instead of opting for Santana Marchionni. In the first phase works well for the management of purple, which receives the lifeblood immediate benefit: a shot of tense cross Vargas who is the deviation of decisive Motta.

COMPLICATED REACTION - The reaction is complicated because of Juve. The defense as a whole is doing very well, managing to break purple attitudes tested in numerical superiority. The problems are others. Aquilani eg it is not as bright as in other circumstances as a director, also the track right-Krasic Motta does not go as fast as organized-axis Pasqual Vargas. There are still discrete opportunities for the team Delneri. Boruc must do the only parade worthy of note on a free kick by Del Piero, but little could have been if the same Juventus captain had framed a few steps from the door. The other good chances will be the best Juve's action: launch of Aquilani, delicious 'stop and cross' Del Piero, touch close but inexact Marchisio.

BORUC, RIGHT ON PIU 'BELLO - In the second half, little happens in the first quarter of an hour. Only Del Piero tries a couple of times before being replaced by Iaquinta. Aquilani also published: it detects Pepe, who returns with Marchisio half with Melo. While continuing to lose pieces Fiorentina (Gilardino out the best baby Camporese), the pressure of Juve is becoming increasingly insistent. Boruc is close to extraordinary conclusions on Iaquinta Chiellini, but then the punishment is uncertain Pepe: a cross shot that trick with the ball down the Polish goalkeeper. On this occasion, the attitude of the offender violates defense, too close to the ground by their goalkeeper. Final dripping racing, including hard knocks, the expulsion of Felipe (foul Krasic), and the useless siege of Juve.

New spirit and Reja it has been reborn Lazio

2010-11-27T19:29:00.004+07:00

The president praises the technical Lotito does not speak of championship (is not a goal that we set) and closes the door to possible return of Nesta: There can be neither the president nor the future

ROME - In chat with fans on the site of Tg1, Lotito off again the dream of a possible return of Nesta: "There can be neither the present nor the future of Lazio". Here's why: "Nesta has represented the past and the glorious history of this club, but Lazio has embarked on a path of young people and he does not embody our standards even in economic terms. We have a great defense and we can achieve our goals without looking to the past". It still Lotito on this topic, started a new era: "I am satisfied that it has a group of people of value. I formed a cohesive team and strong-willed. Compared to last year we only have 3-4 different figures within the organization but a renewed sense of team. And particular merit of Reja, a person of great transparency in human relationships. It's a great coach and he is a really nice feeling". No nostalgia for Delio Rossi: "Absolutely, it was he who choose not to renew". The new Lazio is now a "trinity": "In the past I had thought to include some figures - Lotito responds to a question on Beppe Signori - but then I decided to leave a structure and a lean organization that can give immediate answers. We are three: I'm the president, is Diesse Tare and Reja is someone who cares for the relationship with the players. "What recreated in Norcia last season: Last year there were problems inside, there were factions, now we have disabled a number of slag. The results we are seeing, Lazio can now perhaps really aim high: I do not make predictions - Lotito sure - but the championship is a goal that we have set. But surely this team, with the right determination and humility, can compete with all the others.

THE EAGLE CAN FLY FAIR - Around a symbol, Lazio came back together: The flight of Olympia was an initiative to bring the fan in the middle of our project, so that everyone rediscover the pride of belonging to the first club capital. But the eagle has also served as a stimulus for the players. Gabrielle is on a perch in Formello and when the team gets on the bus notes. All the players take into account that symbol that inspires them about fear and respect. They know who is representing the responsibility to head up the field. "They can not do the same perpetrators of the usual, stupid, racist buu to bring Albinoleffe, Stefano Layeni. Lotito censure them: These attitudes must be deprecated and condemned. Sport should unite. Servant of punishment for these people, but to eliminate this phenomenon is important that companies educate young people to respect the individual as such regardless of the color of skin. Lazio's number one aims at a "sports school": "The creation of a stage property, my first real dream, would a ratio of customer loyalty. The piece of the fan would make more sense if inserted into a structure adequate. So, it's like having a new dress and old shoes. Ancient speeches, future projects, ongoing battles. Like that of the collective agreement for Lotito: The battle is out of place within the AIC tones. It would give the fans a possible strike and the attitude of the union is wrong if you really want to safeguard the rights of all. I am convinced that we can still find the solution to the problem.

NO PROBLEM FOR HIS NEW YORK - The rose is appropriate to compete at the highest levels to the end: It will be the coach to decide whether you should take action in January but has not made any request. Rather, he may be a solution for those that they are finding little room. Not for Rocchi, Lotito to say: For us it is essential, it is our captain and when he will be fit to prove it. For all the championship remains a taboo word, but dreaming is not forbidden and Lotito provides an incentive: If you were to achieve certain goals it is clear that there would be prizes for everyone, as it happened on other occasions. The company You're never pulled back in this way. But I do not want to talk. Not because it is superstitious, but because I believe in divine providence and an eschatological plan. Who knows there is not a precise for the next Cup derby Italy, Lotito does not balance, There riconfronteremo over the last three we have lost, the less responsible and more for the episodes. I hope will be a great challenge.

NAPOLI - It is not enough to wait in line until the early hours of the morning to buy tickets to Europe League match between Napoli and Utrecht on Thursday 2 December, because the opening box office of the San Paolo stadium erupted in riots triggered by a series touts. Upon the sale of tickets, in fact, there was a rush by stepping over the line, a gate of the stadium was broken in the front row and have positioned the touts who have also bought a dozen tickets, despite the ban.

POWER TO THE TOUTS - The more than 800 fans lined up have protested vociferously, calling the police. But this was not enough to restore order. Dozens of phone calls of protest have reached the editorial offices of newspapers and private radio stations from the fans. The prohibition to purchase one ticket and produce the identity card and photocopy of it has been sensationally banned, with the complicity of the salespeople and without the police intervene, say the fans. It is not the first time that this happens in the capital of Campania, similar incidents had also occurred during the match against Liverpool.

AND IN MAY THE BLUE SHIRT - Meanwhile, today in "Mars Live Sport" intervened Christian May, returned to the goal against Bologna last Sunday after some controversy. "I do not have rejoiced because I wanted to express my regret for some of the criticisms received. Obviously I agree always, but sometimes you go over and I've received a few that I did not like. I have not gone through a good period for just these situations". His feeling with Napoli, however, was not affected: "I'm fine here and I want to stay as much as possible with the blue shirt. The fans are incredible and I have always been close".

GOOD TIMES - Sunday will be the former Udinese Denis, must win in order to continue to keep pace with the former. "We started well and we're playing in the Champions League - said the player's blue -. The moment is positive and we want to continue. And 'early to talk about goals. We would like to continue the streak in the league and a new assessment center in Europa League. The coach works so much, is meticulous. The group follows him and the fruits are there for all to see. With Udinese will be a close race and we will try to do my best". And in January could get some reinforcement. "The company knows what to do. This year there are important players, Mazzarri is good at expressing them at the most. Who comes, will be welcomed and will give us a big hand".

La Viola smiles Felipe Gamberini and recovered

2010-11-26T15:48:00.003+07:00

For a special game like that on Saturday with Juventus, Mihajlovic, who complains to the forfeit of Kroldrup, comforted by the news of the infirmary, the two will be. And Mutu could start on the bench

FLORENCE - A special game. For many (Issime) ways unique. Tomorrow, Saturday, purple go to Turin to play Juventus and the world purple, as always in these vigils, goes into fibrillation, if only because I rarely have seen a team, a color, the most hated. Certainly no one else, at least in the Florence of the ball.

So the news that Felipe and Alessandro Gamberini, after overcoming the physical problems, have returned to the group and then invited to become an advance against Juventus to Serie B news becomes important news. It was confirmed by team doctor Fiorentina Paolo Manetti on the official website.

It does not end here, as always on the site violates Manetti says that "Mutu is working with preparatory Adrian Mutu - he added -, we are evaluating the best choice. Since the beginning of the week with the preparatory works also Cristiano Zanetti, pain in the tendon no longer exists and we are in the final stage of recovery and may return in all respects as a group next week. In the meantime tomorrow, Saturday, should go on the bench, with all the necessary precautions.

As far as Cesare Natali, another injured, however, Manetti says that "... is suffering from a chronic Achilles tendinopathy and we have asked for a consultation with Professor Maffulli solutions which ruled most aggressive type of surgery and has set up a protocol for recovery of three weeks. We are confident. In early December
There will also be a new control".

News infirmary needed if only to mitigate the anger that led to the decision of the sports court yesterday. Kroldrup, however, always polite, allowed herself to escape a 'vaffa' after a warning in the recovery of Milan-Fiorentina, was sent off two rounds and gotten them to stop.

So the teenager Camporese (class '92) almost certainly will play in central defense with one of Gamberini or Felipe, next Saturday in Turin, against an opponent who is called sorry if Juve.

The match was then told his Polish goalkeeper Boruc. "I know that a game with Juventus is very strong given the Fiorentina fans but nothing can be comparable to the tensions of the Scottish derby between Celtic and Rangers. Having lived through that experience I feel ready for Saturday. I felt sorry for Frey, was unfortunate but his injury has given me the opportunity to play. In my career, 22 years since I've always been the holder. Now that I enjoy the game more and I want to help Fiorentina back among the best teams in the league.

Palombo and gossips "I Cassano and real friends"

2010-11-26T15:28:00.004+07:00

Sampdoria captain gets angry for the dissemination of rumors of an altercation with her boyfriend. "These things hurt me, because I can not wake up in the morning and say stupid things like that"

GENOA - gossips, gossips only. Angelo Palombo, Samp captain, insisted (on Sky) did not have any quarrel with Cassano, now out of square, as some have speculated. "I would say that person to bring witnesses and speak with Cassano and see who is right. I really think you can say anything but I have quarreled with Cassano. This is beyond dispute, but just ask him".

In fact, he says, he and Cassano are friends. "Always. I've always tried to help him and he help me in these years.
I mean, making, perhaps, grow in the field, because he comes from great teams and gave me advice. He saw Guti, a midfielder like me, and seeks to address at some games on some field position. These things hurt me, because I can not wake up in the morning and say bullshit like that".

On its possible role as mediator between society, Garrone on his head, and team-mate, clearly does not admit that he had been in the middle, but it suggests. "As captain, after all these years I'm here, ninth season, it is normal that you're trying to repair some situations. All that was written, if I did or I did, certainly not going to say some of the newspapers. These things are ours, and I can only say that it is normal to try to salvage what it can, because I think the good of Sampdoria. How I found Cassano? For someone like him soccer is life, normal
it down".

Palombo Bari admits that the talent is lacking a bit to the team. "Technically, it is normal for a player so lacking, in my view, at Milan. It's normal that we must do a little more to make up for his technique with other characteristics. "Although the absence of a phenomenon like Cassano, empowers the whole team. "Yes, definitely. So many times we were happy, we gave the ball to Cassano and said that she thought about him. Now, we all do, I for one, that bit more".

Meanwhile, there to think about the challenge on Saturday with league leaders AC Milan. "I'm first in the standings, they are strong, we will play our cards. They are strong, then this year, a man more, which is a little boy named Ibrahimovic. They had so many samples before and pink have bought another even bigger. In this moment is making a difference. It's a complete player". But as the Milan Ibrahimovic has a great shape, Sampdoria a Pazzini that is unlocked. "I'm happy for Pazzini, was a period in which he was suffering a little bit"

Buffon-Delneri, contact postponed again

2010-11-25T14:57:00.003+07:00

For the second consecutive day the doorman has been training without meeting neither the technical nor the rest of the team. The relationship with the company is flawed: the Juventus number one did not welcome the engagement of Storari. Motta and Aquilani in doubt for Fiorentina

TURIN - quickly discovered the bluff of Adebayor, the Bianconeri will only see the December 16, when Manchester City come to Turin to play the last match of the Champions League group A (Delneri rest of the Togolese prefer Benzema), Juventus is already preparing the advance of Saturday night at the Olimpico against Fiorentina. A Vinovo there was a morning session: the group orders of the coach has done technical work and a practice match against nine nine without goalkeepers, to prove the attack patterns of anti-purple. Training varies for Aquilani and Motta, pledged to dispose of their muscle aches, and Bonucci played a custom program. Five boys of spring the first team: Sorensen, De Paola, Belcastro, Buchel and Giannetti.

CHIELLINI: "FIORENTINA OPPOSING THE SPECIAL FOR ME" - Archives of the great victory Marassi, Giorgio Chiellini, fresh renewal until 2015, is preparing for battle with his former team: "That Sunday at Marassi was an important victory, a starting point that should give us more aware of our quality. We have returned to training ahead of Saturday's match against Fiorentina, which has a special meaning for me because I played Fiorentina in a year and I still have many friends".

BUFFON-JUVE, CONTACT POSTPONED AGAIN - For the second consecutive day Buffon has trained
Vinovo without crossing the technical team and Delneri. Today I swapped the rounds yesterday, the group has taken the field in the morning, while goalkeeper has worked in the afternoon. Despite the bickering of times, Buffon would still have been able to meet his companions at the table and Delneri during the ritual meal group. What better time to pick up the threads of a long common discourse? The fateful encounter will happen in the coming days, but the feeling is that Juventus will try to postpone a number within the limits of the legitimate face to face. The relationship between club and Super Gigi looks really cracked. At the root of the conflict, the speed with which Juve replaced him as soon as learned of the complex operation which should have been submitted. Buffon would not have digested the employment of Storari, number one, not a deputy pro tempore. Beyond the assorted interpretations of this script, of course, also weighs the employment of almost 6 million per year that the doorman, happily, gloriously and heavily brings.

MOTTA AND AQUILANI IN DOUBT - If you fail to retrieve Delneri Motta will rely again Sorensen, already tested with excellent results, playing right-back against Roma and the final 40 minutes of Genoa-Juventus. In front of Storari, in central defense, will be confirmed the couple formed by Chiellini and Grosso on the left with Bonucci. Some doubt also in midfield, dictated by the poor condition of Aquilani. If the "prince" does not dispose of the muscle strain in his right thigh, the candidate to pair with Felipe Melo would Sissoko, Marchisio with Krasic right and left. Alternatively, Marchisio Melo could be accompanied in the field, with Pepe left outside. In attack Delneri seems willing to rely on for the third consecutive time in tandem Quagliarella, Iaquinta. But Del Piero paws: the player with the longest history of militancy in Juventus (reached and surpassed the record of Charles Bigatto, black and white for 17 years, 2 months and 9 days) wants to celebrate in front of your audience his latest record. "Saturday - Juventus captain writes on his website - I will enter the Olympic Stadium as a player with the longest history of militancy in Juventus, a great satisfaction, and especially the testimony of an exact match of which I am proud of".

The replica of the Germans is inconsistent and then Tottenham took the opportunity to double to 44' with Modric telescoping door with a big right on the fly using a tower of Crouch. Werder there but the long struggle to Tottenham to close the accounts.

The Lusitanian make the game but are punched on the first shot on goal by the hosts that switch to the 24' with a perfect shot at the intersection of cross-Zahavi's free-kick from the right trocar Abutbul. At this point is crucial Hapoel defender Douglas da Silva that the first (55') saves a shot on the line to secure Luisao and then shot (75') closes the result with a right slipped in two steps by solving a subsequent action in melee following a corner.

Race long balanced: for special occasions spoiled Miller (2) and Naismith Ferguson's men responded with a cross from Rooney in the first half and two other opportunities do not materialize by the same striker Berbatov and English in the second half. When the 0-0 now seems inevitable here, instead, we think to give Naismith, 87', the victory at the United decomposed committing a foul in the penalty area against Fabio. Rooney goes on the diskette which turns coldly.

VALENCIA-BURSASPOR 6-1
The Valencia forward in the second round by taking the satisfaction of hitting the most round victory in the history of the Champions League at the expense of Bursaspor.

The Turks and the scatter 30' raking in the 3rd goal from Aduriz that bag into an empty net from close range shooting a short dismissed the goalkeeper after his initial conclusion. 7' other pass and we think to drop Joaquin poker with a magnificent right to turn from the edge into the top corner. At the start of recovery Soldado scored the two goals of concluding a personal guard with a perfect right under the crossbar after leaving Ivankov also avoided. At 69' the Bursaspor removing the satisfaction of signing the first goal in the group stage of Champions Battle with that bag from close range after a cross from the right Yildirim.

BARCELONA-PANATHINAIKOS 0-3
Barcelona is a lesson in football at Panathinaikos and conquest, at the same time, qualification and 1st place in Group D. After two balls, clear goals, one on each side, spoiled Cissé and Adriano, the Catalans are to go to 27' with a precise right-diagonal Pedro, unmarked in the area by Dani Alves. Replication of Panathinaikos is non-existent and then the Blaugrana took advantage to secure the success with Messi, the 62', closes a wonderful team move with a tap into an empty net from close range after a cross from the left side of Hadrian. The Greeks raise the white flag and, at 69' raking it 0-3 from Pedro bags left in the race by collecting an assist from the left side of Iniesta.

Cambiasso-goal leads Inter in the second round

2010-11-25T14:36:00.003+07:00

Breath of fresh air for Benitez: Inter exceed the Twente 1-0 with goals from Argentine and pass the turn. But it was not a walk: the Italian champions have appeared more determined but were often put in difficulty by the Dutch.

LONDON - For more than an hour Rafa Benitez looks with his calm chaos its Inter Cup: the best from the point of temperament, the most difficult in terms of the game. When Sneijder anticipates Mihaylov but the ball goes out very little, by denying certain of qualifying (Twente and giving to the desperate final assault), the Spaniard left the British phlegm and breaks out in a blatant anger. And the sharpest image of a qualification that seemed easier to cut the line before the halfway point, but damned difficult when you become the bad luck we have had a hand, putting out of action many owners. Estebal Cambiasso's goal to get 55 minutes, has the value of direct elimination of the freshman Preud'homme but also gives a team on the verge of a nervous breakdown a moment of serenity.

From the outset it is clear that it is not your usual cup of Inter at San Siro on the grass that brings all the poisons in the league. Benitez's men counted, the impression is that those in the field is yet another theme gabelle payable to bad luck. The maneuver is choppy, Eto'o acting wing, the striker Pandev ago. Biabiany tries to put his speed, and it is on this track that Inter does things better. But Twente close properly and will start using the space and the psychological anxieties of European Champions. De Jong is the most dangerous, and Janko Chadli reveal their lack of
quality in the last meters. So the Inter ... if the quarry. At halftime, the stands of the Meazza, more of a fan asks where she is the team that swept away to Werder and joked Tottenham.

The second half started with a whole more determined. The goal arrived on a free kick that Sneijder dismisses the barrier in the no man's land, where it dominates Cambiasso. Minute 55': close left ... It is the goal of liberation. The best Inter offers the benefit gained, a sign of inner unrest that has undermined the certainties of the invincible Armada. Sneijder was unlucky when his excellent touch in advance - already said - out of nothing. It is written that way for the qualification should be paved until the end of suffering. Stankovic singing and carrying the cross, located in Zanetti and Cambiasso - for features - best allies. Castellazzi diverts the only real danger, a corner of the diabolical Janssen, the unregulated private life, as it is ingenious inventions in the field. The roar of San Siro at the final whistle is the most obvious sign of the value of this victory. Benitez wins and saves the bench after a media lynching excessive and unfair. Perhaps "the night" is over.

INTER-TWENTE 1-0
Inter: Castellazzi - Cordoba, Lucio, Materazzi, Zanetti - Stankovic, Cambiasso - Biabiany (80' Santon), Sneijder (87' Nwankwo), Pandev (91' Biraghi) - Eto'o. Subs not used: Orlandoni, Thiago Motta, Crisetig, Natalino Herds Benitez

Buffon back to train In the field in 2011

2010-11-24T17:13:00.004+07:00

First day in Vinovo Juventus goalkeeper for the national team and after surgery of herniated disc four months ago. Alone with the preparer did exercises and has also dipped. Target return on the team in January. Chiellini renewed until 2015. Del Piero: "We think of Fiorentina"

TORINO - Buffon who returns to training, Chiellini on the verge of renewing the contract, Emerson reappeared in society and Aquilani trying to recover in time for the advance of Saturday night against Fiorentina. These are the big names in the middle of the day for Juventus. The protagonist is Gigi Buffon has revealed that this morning for the first time in Vinovo after six months of absence from the world Juve. At 142 days away from the operation of herniated disc last July 4, now the number one for the first time he wore his new uniform for riassaggiare the field under the watchful eye of goalkeeper coach Claudio Filippi. Sitting alone, in advance of the group, away from the eye of inquisitive journalists and fans (today and tomorrow Vinovo is closed because the Bianconeri have undertaken to test new technical materials). An hour of intense workout, with lots of dips and low outputs. Then, in the locker room closed the meeting with some teammates before leaving the headquarters of Juventus without participating in the ritual meal group. The first contact between the goalkeeper and coach Delneri is therefore postponed. Buffon will continue to follow a personalized program, dedicated in time, until this year. In parallel with the field work, continue the daily sessions of physical therapy at the center of Turin Isokinetic. The return of SuperGigi is scheduled for late January, although it does not seem very willing Storari
to step aside.

DEL PIERO: "CALM" - "We returned from Marassi in high spirits after a very important victory for the ranking - it's the thought of Alessandro Del Piero, in the pages of the website staff - to maintain the pace of those ahead of us not misfires and especially the awareness of our means. Now we must think about the next against Fiorentina, knowing that it will be the usual battle, not at all simple. Olimpico Saturday will come as a player with the longest history of militancy in Juventus, a great satisfaction and especially the testimony of an exact match of which I am proud of. I have reached that position it ahead of Carlo Bigatto, to Juventus from 12 October 1913-21 December 1930, then seventeen years two months and nine days. Since yesterday I am out of a day, and now we go forward. I started September 12, 1993, I've seen many but I was not ever beat a record by sitting on the bench! say that it was easier than usual - close Del Piero - but they are ready to earn more in the field.

CHIELLINE, RENEWAL OF THE HOUR - The telenovela linked to the renewal of the contract of Giorgio Chiellini was closed in the evening. After training in the afternoon, the Tuscan defender Davide Lippi and his attorney met with Marotta and the lawyer dg Briamonte to put on paper the new arrangement: the contract up to 2015 3.5 billion per season plus any bonuses for the performance.

EMERSON OBSERVER? - After the return of Pavel Nedved, with the position of director, Juventus are planning to return to the illustrious company of another sample of his recent past: Emerson Ferreira da Rosa. The "Puma", 34, at Juventus from 2004 to 2006, is now a FIFA agent who runs a soccer school in Brazil. According to rumors in the entourage of the former Brazilian midfielder collected after following Olimpico Juventus-Roma in the guise of double ex, Emerson has maintained two days in Turin to make contact with the new management white. "I saw many old friends who have returned to society. If they want me, I'm available," he said to his confidants. Andrea Agnelli and Pavel Nedved's proposed return to work with them to build a future up to the shared past. Emerson, who has maintained his residence in Turin, we may initially have a role to observers in South America. But later on we can not exclude its use on the fields of Vinovo as coach of a selection of black and white youth. Returning to Italy, in addition, Emerson is closer to his daughter who lives in Rome with his ex-wife Sonia.

AQUILANI OK - Good news for Alberto Aquilani, who on Sunday had asked the exchange to 80 of the match against Genoa for a nuisance right adductor. The specific tests have not supported in the morning
showed lesions. Aquilani suffered a muscle strain, which followed must observe two days of rest before resuming training. Delneri is raised, the anxiety has increased: in view of the advance against Fiorentina, the technician will try to retrieve the man to whom he entrusted the keys of the midfield. If Aquilani will not play, or because they stopped because the bench for a turn as a precaution, alongside Felipe Melo will Sissoko.

A fairytale comeback The Rome see the first knockout

2010-11-24T16:02:00.004+07:00

The Giallorossi won 3-2 against Bayern after a very intense race. Germans ahead with a brace from Gomez, then reversed in the second half all Borriello, Daniele De Rossi and Totti. To go through just one point in Romania

ROME - To Hell and Back. Rome first draft, then 'de core', the end also beautiful and successful. With Bayern Monaco goes from 0-2 to 3-2 final for the first time, and is an important victory because it allows giallorossi to win a huge slice of qualifying for the knockout stages now just a tie against Romania in Cluj, but also losing could reach the next round in case of failure to win the Basel (who beat the Romanians) in Monaco. Result all things considered legitimate, even if it must be said that Bayern Monaco takes the field in the second half guiltily full advantage of the double, fatal error in the sight of the fierce competitive vigor exhibited by the men of Ranieri.

BAYERN, START INCREDIBELY - Undoubtedly the approach to race is the Bavarian brand. There is a substantial balance for half an hour, but the possession of the ball is made with Bayern personality, almost snobbish, son of the blazon. They did not rush the Germans, and they have also the tranquility of a qualification already achieved. The Rome, prepared by Ranieri according to the recent double-headed form (Borriello and Vucinic) with Menez on the frontline, he can not even take advantage of the weakness of the Bavarian defense. The portierino Kraft, new product of the youth after the failed experience of the vice Kahn, Rensing, is doing very well on the conclusions of and Borriello Greek: riveted on the second, a short distance up from Vucinic.

GOMEZ DOES NOT FORGIVE - Play a different tune van Gaal. Training is very altered: witness the adaptation of the eclectic Pranjic at left-back and the dam to protect the defense and made Tymoshchuk Ottl. But before there is quality. Ribery is in great shape but is keen to prove something after the criticism of van Gaal, Muller is an important tactical pivot, Kroos is accurate in placements. And then there's Gomez. Last season was 'cursed' the many millions of Euros spent to buy it at this ransom. Mario soon as he touches the ball good marks in the first time he does it twice: two supports right slow but precise, at the invitation of Ribery and Muller. The other protagonist is possible Kroos: Julio Sergio neutralizes his right, then Burdisso stop him but goes one step away from causing a penalty.

The other Rome - Rome In the second half is another. The spirit is different, however, is shifting gears. Menez gives a compelling progression to right: the low cross Borriello succeeds in winning deviation in the fall. Menez immediately gives the bis, but this time, Kraft is exalted on the conclusions of Simplicio (for in Greek) and Brig. Then we witness a disruption tactics. Ranieri puts Totti Brig: madness is offensive, van Gaal - and not by him - becomes afraid and inserting Glad Altintop. It a tug of war, the wins Rome. Wonderful draw: Vucinic invents deep for Riise's low cross from the left and winning touch by De Rossi. The defense of Bayern suffer the balls vertically: a boon for Totti, on whose invitation deep Borriello gets a penalty on the output of Kraft. Totti winning run was not perfect, but honestly it is a detail that does not matter.

Ibra, Ronaldinho, AC Milan flies in the second round

2010-11-24T15:50:00.004+07:00

The Rossoneri beat Auxerre 2-0 and win the next round mathematician with a day in advance. The Swede once again decisive in the end there is no glory for the Brazilian.

AUXERRE - AC Milan flying a round advance to the knockout stage of Champions. The Rossoneri beat Auxerre 2-0 away win mathematically, and second place in Group G in virtue of the victory of Ajax Real Madrid at home. They decide the second-half goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho. For men of Allegri is the fifth consecutive victory in league and cup, the third had received no networks.

MILAN of meetings - we do not change a winning team. Allegri must have thought this when he decided to leave for the fifth consecutive time Ronaldinho on the bench. And in the end he was right. The new Milan of "encounters" will not be as good as that of the "setters", but brings home wins few victories collecting networks. Merits of the three in midfield, but also a defense which has a central pair like Nesta and Thiago Silva, with two in their field, in fact the Milan have never lost. Allegri overjoyed that, after a swinging start to the season, managed to square the circle. Difficult to find a flaw in the current team, you will have seen, however, until able to keep this momentum going down the same eleven in the field for the past three weeks. Ibrahimovic the rest will have to catch his breath from time to time and with Inzaghi Pato pit stop for technical hassles are certainly not rare.

FIRST TIME in trouble - First time hard-fought Abbé-Deschamps,
especially in midfield where the two teams in more than one occasion vanish completely. The first shot on goal and stated Milan, but the right-of-the-fly Robinho is too high over the crossbar. Auxerre responds with a direct free kick deflects Dudko you'll quickly in spite of a deviation angle of Gattuso. The extreme AC Milan stands out immediately with a parade on a shot from the middle distance of Birsa. At 22 it was the turn of Seedorf: Dutch, unmarked header from Ibrahimovic on the edge, shoot the right hand side of Sorin. The most sensational opportunity for the Rossoneri happens almost at the end of time when Gattuso not making the most of Coulibaly and a gift sent from the edge high above the crossbar.

IBRA-Dinh FOR FESTIVAL - The second half saw Milan suffered more aggressive than the first half and the quarter-hour, the Rossoneri are now very close to the lead with Robinho who, unmarked in the middle of an abbot, download on to Grichting. A few minutes later, however, Ibrahimovic made no mistake from the edge: the right of Swedish is so violent that Sorin does not see from the shot: 1-0 and AC Milan for the match you down. Auxerre did not give up and tries mainly from outside, but the conclusions of his men are always too vague to worry more compelled to overtime for the neglect of their comrades to the skill of the opponents. In the finale comes Ronaldinho Gaucho and the first ball-goal does not fail: a left turn that can be slipped between the pole and Sorin. The 2-0 switches off the hopes of the hosts and allows the Rossoneri to fly in the second round with a race to spare.

"I want to close my career in England "

2010-11-23T19:17:00.005+07:00

José Mourinho open-heart surgery on France Football (the headline, 'Thank God they are not modest'): "I'm fine in Madrid, but my size is natural". The season of triple Inter: "Inter was a team of veterans. In Barcelona wanted to win, we gave the show the first leg"

PARIS - In a long interview that appears today in the magazine France Football, with the title 'I thank God for not being modest', José Mourinho retraces down in detail the stages of his career, from Porto to Chelsea from Inter to Real, arguing among alia, that his "natural habitat is English football and is in England that" it is to conclude "his career. Now, however, could not be "happier" than it is to reality, "given the size of this club, and the importance of love that gives rise to the challenge" that awaits him.

And businesses in Milan, Mourinho said that on his arrival in Italy he thought, "to build a team with Inter to two times. A to win the championship and another to try to win the Champions League". In the first case, "I knew - he explains - we were the best team in the league. And when you're the best team you have to say I win. There are other possibilities. Instead, in the Champions League, Inter 2009-2010 was not the better team when compared to Real in Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester, Chelsea, all teams that could win the title. At the start we could only say, 'let's try to win it'. Little by little, we turned our discussion to 'win the'. And we won".

While the Champions League with Porto won was a surprise because his was a young team, "With the Inter - Mourinho says - it was just the opposite,
was the team of veterans. There were players that if they had not won the cup there would not have won more! That is, in short, let's say in quotes, because they can still win this year or next year! But if you take Zanetti, 37, Materazzi, 37, Cordoba, 34, Toldo, 38, Samuel, was probably their last chance. I am proud to have achieved that dream".

France Football that the journalist asks him whether, from a point of view "aesthetic", the semi-final second leg against Barcelona was a "good publicity", Mourinho replied: "Yes, it was a fantastic spectacle". He adds: "It was not our fault. I decided to win. Do you understand? I was going to win! The show we had given in Milan, we won the first leg 3-1, we would have been able to make four, and we went to Barcelona with that advantage. There we started and we were ready to play, but after fifteen minutes, we stood at 10. And at that point, or do the fool and you take four or five, or react to sample and characterize it. Knowing that if we reach the final, we would have won. It was a great show of tactics".

Finally, beloved by his players, remembers one in particular which was not easy at first, Nicolas Burdisso, "At Inter, when I arrived, I told him it was better to go that way, there would be room for him. I wanted to sell it to invest on other players. I had planned its sale and, ultimately, proved among the players more involved in my project ever encountered in my career. Burdisso I said, 'I'll show' I can play. I told 'OK, let's see, let us see. I do not want today, but maybe tomorrow will be' another day. And today, you know what I appreciate that. He also knows that I would be happy to work with him again because he is a man and a player fantastic".

Ancelotti: "Drogba has malaria, but it will be in the field"

2010-11-22T13:34:00.001+07:00

LONDON - On the eve of the delicate derby against Fulham, says Ancelotti training conference that will take the field for the eleventh round and which players are still unavailable in Stamford.

"I have problems with three players, two of them and evaluate their physical condition in the hours preceding the race. One of these is that Alex has a little swelling on the knee, the other is that Anelka is not trained very well today. He has a little back problem and is not 100% so we'll see tomorrow how will the last workout. Unfortunately there will still be Lampard, but we think it will be the match early as next week to Sunderland. He has been training with us, is in good condition and worked very well physically. And be able to play, but I still do not want to risk it, besides the fact that the pace did not match. He will play for the national team? Well if he will have no problems to play with us, I think it will have no problem playing for his country. Then Capello will still make this choice, I only know that the game will be in the game against Sunderland. They recovered well but Cech and Kalou and Essien will be the game that also comes back after a foot injury, having been out for two races. So we will play the first minute on goal with Cech, Essien and Obi Mikel in midfield, while the forces of our attack will Kalou, Malouda and Drogba".

Reporters are not given the full training, but announced a major news about the state of health through in the latter period of Drogba: "A test that we performed showed that he contracted malaria. We do not know when and where he contracted the disease, then we do not know if the virus is new or not. We know that now is under control and that there are problems with respect to his health. It was quite ill a few days ago, but now the disease is under control, and the medical staff assured me that within 48 hours will be cured by medicines given to him. It certainly was not 100% in the previous races, but he played even though he had a unique form. In fact it was really unselfish play with this condition. Obviously it was not the same Drogba on the pitch, because he had lost condition, but now can only get better, and tomorrow will be in the field".

PREMIER LEAGUE - For the Blues the derby with Fulham

2010-11-20T16:47:00.005+07:00

Chelsea back to winning, and he does a great chance, beating Fulham in derby and extending for 1 to 0 in the standings, now 4 from Manchester United. Ancelotti recover for midweek only Essien, while in the field are regularly Cech, Drogba and Kalou, the latter which has been diagnosed with a form, though not severe malaria. Lampard still absent, the Italian coach also lost to injury last minute Anelka and Alex both left in the stands for the match against the Cottagers.
The advantage lies with Chelsea Essien signing the advantage that the head after a good cross from Kalou.

After the network Essien Chelsea tries again with Malouda and Kalou but both times the attack set up by Ancelotti can not be sharp. On the first occasion after the French had evaded the marking of opponents kick low to the ground with the parade of Schwarzer's pretty easy. In the Ivory Coast is the second attempt to kick badly despite good service from the same Malouda left. Kalou before the end of the first time will have two more attempts to score, but the first can not find the door after a great pass Zhirkov, rather then the defender Hughes to save on the line on the conclusion of the former player Feyenoord.

The highest recovery rates in boot Malouda a penalty claim that the intervention of Schwarzer, the same Australian goalkeeper then that makes three miracles instead on the findings of close Malouda, Obi Mikel and Essien. In the second part of the race, however, good performance of Cech, the Czech goalkeeper good at defusing the findings of Dempsey and Gera, finding the eighth consecutive clean sheet at home, an absolute record for a goalkeeper of Chelsea. In the end, however, Essien will find his second yellow card, and then a red card, which will jump to Ghana the next three league games.

TEAM - Drogba is hungry for goals!

2010-11-19T22:13:00.002+07:00

LONDON - After the shocking news on the conference by Ancelotti, Drogba is still regularly in the field in the derby against Fulham despite having contracted a form, albeit weak, of malaria. "Unfortunately we only found out Monday the disease, when in fact I was sick already for some time. But when a disease is not treated well there is a risk of worsening their condition seriously, but I'm lucky to live in Chelsea and to have this medical team who discovered the disease in a short time. Now we know exactly what it is, and how to treat it. When you are not 100% it is hard to be the same player as always, I felt that in recent games, especially after the game against the Wolves. I tried to adapt and to assist in more like the team to assist and cover in the defensive phase, tasks that are not accustomed to play in every game but I do for love of this company, not a problem for me if there was a need. Now I think I feel better, and I can not wait to score again, perhaps as early as the game against Fulham. I want to keep doing the thing that people expect from me, the goal".

This thought Ivorian attacker a few hours away from the game against the Cottagers at Stamford Bridge this evening.

TEAM - In view of an exchange-Begovic Turnbull?

2010-11-19T06:42:00.001+07:00

LONDON - In these days are taking under the hypothesis of an exchange, with Chelsea ready to offer young goalkeeper Ross Turnbull to Stoke in exchange for Asmir Begovic.
Carlo Ancelotti still has many questions about the effectiveness of the reserves of Petr Cech, Hilario, which are the same and Turnbull.

During the summer session Begovic for the Blues had offered 4.5 million pounds, but did not succeed to bring the player to the court of Ancelotti.

However, Ancelotti is ready to offer in Stoke with a sum far greater Turnbull to be able to have the player in January.

The Community Shield to start the new season

2010-11-18T15:51:00.001+07:00

Apart from the first official engagement for Chelsea, who look at the challenge today to confirm the Community Shield victory last year.

LONDON - "Sturridge there will be no problem, while Drogba will start from the bench. Unfortunately, there will instead be Alex, Bosingwa and Cech. The national will of course not 100%, both the Portuguese that the British, but they need to play, and I think this is an opportunity for them. About Cech's replacement? We have injured Cech, Hilario and Turnbull and we want to have confidence in these players. They have made mistakes in recent games, and we are not happy about this but we keep the faith, because in the next game to play Hilario, who has always had great performance, and we have confidence in him. Prediction? I think for both teams is a major challenge, because it's an important game of the season. We want to do well, because it will not be easy against them. We want to do our best in mind that Manchester United has been the leading opponent of last season, and will also be in this one. So I think we need to win again because we lost too many matches, friendlies, but we are not happy to lose. We need to win again and a good start. From the Community to the new season, Ancelotti also spoke of the future of Chelsea: Last year we had the best season possible. All players have given their full capacity and this year we want to do the same thing. We can do it and we can bring home some more trophies. We will start from the community to try to be competitive in all competitions until the end of the season. When I arrived last season I was surprised by the ability of this team and these players, and I was not surprised at the results we have achieved. We want to do the same this year, although it will not be easy, as all teams are aware of our potential. We have to train well all year and is to be very careful in training, in the recovery phase and so on, because we try not to have accidents.

The correct philosophy for a good season may be young? This is the philosophy of the club. I want to bring players from the Academy to the first team. I have much experience in this regard and it is good to work with young players because you can teach a lot of things. We must have the courage and all must support these young players, maybe take a risk, we put them on the team in big games, but maybe we should take this risk to be competitive in the future. We want to put maybe three or four players on the team with us. We have Van Aanholt, Bruma, Kakuta, Borini and must improve, but we must be patient with them. Mancienne? Now he is a Chelsea player and he trains with us, we will see next week before the championship.

PREMIER LEAGUE - Allucinante Chelsea, umiliato dal Sunderland

2010-11-17T23:08:00.003+07:00

Sunday was to be the answer, that team against a series of events to say the least shocking. Let's step back. A few days ago, the club's executive director, Ron Gourlay, comes out with the story of the new stadium. It would seem vital to a new facility in the area of Earl's Court, with a capacity of at least 60,000 people, because ... would earn more. At a rough guess, almost a million pounds per game, considering the number of requests for tickets for each race and limited capacity to about 42,000 of our Stamford Bridge. All hell broke loose! You have read all the forums which was the reaction of Blues fans ... One step away from the revolution! Here then get out of the denials, declarations of fact, etc. ... and for now remains an open discourse.

After a couple of days, "usually known", Ron Gourlay, puts into practice one of the most reckless actions (and incomprehensible) committed in recent years by the Board: the expulsion of Ray Wilkins. Ancelotti's deputy was contacted by phone (got the infamous? Not even the courage to do it in person! Beasts!) In the range of the friendly team of reserves (by the way, two goals from Borini) against Bayer Monaco. Expelled with immediate effect! You do not yet know the reasons, after a week, but it seems that Ray has never been too endured by Abramovich, but imagine if the Russian gentleman, so I took the idea to build a nightclub under the stage, gives a damn about balance whores went to the bench and in the team.

Put Drogba returning from a trip with malaria (but not go in Denmark?), Injuries to Lampard and Terry (the news today is that his problem with a nerve of the leg will keep him out of time yet undetermined) Put a campaign purchases of shit (pass me the term), with the arrival of Ramires, one of the few in the world able to rule alone and no one else, put Ancelotti "special surveillance" can not say what he thinks in room print, put our 'Boro' out pink ... and that explains that an incredible 0-3 against Sunderland. And not forgotten that if Cech had not been in shape, could easily end up 0-7.

What can you think before all of this crap together? None. It is not our prerogative to do something. First because we are at 2,000 miles from London and can not take a plane to make some noise (although it is much vogia). According to the idea that it would be like because I'm up against an impenetrable glass ceiling. We only have to wait and see how things develop, trying to figure out if the damage is getting worse and the board will send to hell the season. Yes, of course, we are still early, but the merdester is 2 to 3 points and Arsenal. In the Champions League we are in the second round, but in these conditions in February, there are an ass like that.

PREMIER LEAGUE - Ancelotti: "Ejecting exaggerated for Essien"

2010-11-15T16:48:00.003+07:00

LONDON - It Ancelotti happy with half the encounter came in the derby win against Fulham. To weigh on the mood of the Italian manager is in the final expulsion of Essien, who will be absent so again against Sunderland.

"I do not like to judge the decisions of the arbitrators did not do it in Italy, much less in the Premier League. But I think it was not fair to give the red Essien. The player has acted so badly, it was agreed but went on the ball and also there was no danger to the opponent. His was not a stupid foul because he went to retrieve a balloon important in an important area of the field at the last minute. But now it will be hard to have Essien out for three games. Lampard Essien's replacement? The player is training with the group, will be the match against Sunderland but I do not think that he will play for ninety minutes".

Then the former Milan coach talks about the game and of the benefits seen after the defeat of Liverpool: "It's been a good performance, we started right now at rates high, which we did not see Liverpool in the race. The first half was very good, we were always in the penalty opponents in the second half we were not so shiny as the first portion of the game but we controlled the game well. In the end we risked a bit, but that's normal when you get only 1 to 0, because it is more difficult to control the game, but if you consider all the 90 minutes I think we played well". Then an analysis of the rankings after a new change in terms of advantage on the second: "I said yesterday that I expected a draw in the derby between City and United and they did have a good magician. Indeed, they did better than us, since we lost against Manchester City. United are a very strong team, but it is good to have four-point lead in the standings, nothing is already decided but it is good to be in this position".

TEAM - The Chelsea shows the door Ray Wilkins

2010-11-15T16:38:00.006+07:00

LONDON - The bad week does not seem to want to end, now the relief of Ray Wilkins. After the defeat of Liverpool, Drogba of malaria and the wish to leave Stamford Bride another bad news grips the Chelsea fans. With a cold note, the company is making incomprehensible the well-served by one of the men who made the history of this club, first as a player and then as a coach. Ray Wilkins is gone, but he can do it head-on, others not.

"The board of directors decided not to renew the existing contract to Ray Wilkins, with immediate effect. On behalf of the club would like to thank Ray for all he has done for Chelsea Football Club We all wish him well for the future". This bitter comment made by the Chief Executive Ron Gourlay, through an official statement on the official website.
Wilkins made his debut with the shirt of Chelsea at the age of 17, becoming captain of the Blues after just two seasons being so soon star of the team and a reference point for each player who arrived at Stamford Bridge in a historical context is not easy for Chelsea in that era. He held the armband until 1979, collecting a total of 179 appearances and scoring 30 goals with the shirt also blues. Great is the estimate for the player, is given by executives from the players so much that Ray gets Player of the Year for two consecutive seasons, the 1976 and 1977. In 1979, however the farewell at the end of its sixth season it was sold to Manchester United. A good thing for all parties involved, for a player of value in the United midfield for Wilkins the opportunity to go to a club with very different ambitions and to land in Italy. And Chelsea? The ability to collect 825 thousand pounds, a record for the time, that you can re-establish a society that is now in disarray from the economic point of view. Wilkins, however, do not forget, in the 1998-1999 season and is invoked by the new media companies such as Gianluca Vialli that was soon to become coach of Stamford. Valuable assistance of the former Sampdoria striker, so that the same Vialli takes him as faithful collaborator in 2001-2002 when he became manager of Watford. A new back then, in the 2008-2009 season, a very troubled season. Before giving support to newly coach Scolari, then in February 2009 trying to stop a crisis of results going to the bench after his dismissal by Scolari. Then, as in every fairy tale, the calm after the storm. The arrival of the first Hiddink, then Ancelotti, with whom Wilkins puts in row 2 FA Cups, two Premier League and a Community Shield.

NOTE TO FOX - The whole thing really made me angry. Before the story of the new stadium, with 60-70 thousand seats so you gain more. Now this exemption is appalling that more than mysterious. And confirmation that His Majesty Abramovich, so committed to wanting to build a nightclub stage in order to amuse the shit when it seems, is slowly circling a herd of morons accustomed to seeking personal gain and indifference the fate of a historic club.
Hey, ex-Soviet, you're really breaking my balls. Keep going, keep taking the piss out of fans, those who spend money for Chelsea and spit blood. Sooner or later someone a kick in the ass I'll spring, the waiting list is very long.

Flash of Gila, Cesena ko 1-0: Fiorentina breathing

2010-11-14T20:31:00.001+07:00

Match gray and boring to the Franks in anticipation of 12/a, decided by a goal from striker masterpiece of Biella. Viola to 15 points.

A flash in the darkness signed Alberto Gilardino. And Fiorentina breathing. Franks to the purple Mihajlovic, still in obvious crisis of play, the bend with a meager 1-0 Cesena Ficcadenti who fails to comply with the win against Lazio.

The only good news of the evening and the result that gives a week of relative calm to a team still insecure and nervous. Missing the game in their own ability and awareness to children of Mihajlovic, who have gotten at least an hour from Cesena compact and well-organized. To remove the chestnuts from the fire to purple in the folds of a boring match and flat, which has the thought of race as a striker Alberto Gilardino. The left-handed shot in which the striker Biella incinerated Antonioli to 60 is a gem to be set in the archive video to send to Coverciano.

A three-point field goals, which violates the most back in the neighborhoods nobles of the league. For now, can be enough.

Chelsea, mystery Wilkins In its place Maldini or Gauls?

2010-11-13T20:35:00.002+07:00

LONDON, November 12, 2010 - I have driven in the range of the reserves game between Chelsea and Bayern Monaco, who was attending with Carlo Ancelotti at the Cobham training ground. When Ray Wilkins has been named chief executive officer Ron Gourlay in his office, all except one would have expected the announcement that not only his contract was not renewed, but that he also had to leave the club with immediate effect. And to make it official on his dismissal, it was decided to immediately withdraw the name of the 54-year old former coach from the list of staff members, and appeared on the online site is a thin comunicatodove gave the news of the decision, thanking you for what you did and Wilkins wished him well for the future. In short, the traditional niceties of ritual, however, did not explain anything about the real reasons for removal. A removal of which, according to the Daily Mail, Ancelotti was perfectly aware even before sitting down next to his assistant for the challenge of the reserves and to avoid what would have really little, glosses the Sun, although he had described in his biography "the friend without whom we would not have won anything".
