Ibra calls Balotelli "It would be nice"


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


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 "


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"


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


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


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


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, crowds and chaos tickets for Utrecht


Sold in 1200 in coupons for a few hours of the challenge Europe League in Holland. But many ended up in the hands of touts

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


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"


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


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".

Next all the big Exit Benfica

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. Benfica collapses psychologically, and at 92', is also suffering from 3-0 Roberto Zahavi flying off guard with a precise right-diagonal.

RANGERS-MANCHESTER UTD 0-1

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. Finally, at 79', setting the score at 6-1 to beat substitute Dominguez Ivankov with a precise right-diagonally on an assist from new Mata.

BARCELONA-PANATHINAIKOS 0-3

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.

In the second half of Danes replication is delayed and does not exceed a couple of conclusions and dangerous N'Doye Zohor, foiled by Ryzhikov.

Cambiasso-goal leads Inter in the second round


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

Buffon back to train In the field in 2011


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


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


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 "

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"


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


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!


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?


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


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


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.
