I'm going to break from my usual match previews and football betting tips for this week's
article. I feel it is a good time to talk about why David Beckham should stay in Milan and
indeed why LA Galaxy should grant him his move to the Northern Italy capital. As a player Beckham
is a great [...]
While Italian football provides excellent quality and entertainment on the pitch, we all know
that it equally provides excellent quality and entertainment off the pitch. The crazy owners, the
fights in the media between opposing managers and directors, the outbursts in press conferences,
and all that other great stuff that keeps us entertained during the week.
How great it was to have Serie A back after the winter break. I missed my weekly calcio fix.
Roma-Milan highlighted the return of Serie A. Both teams desperate for the 3 points, as Roma wanted
to inch closer to the top half of the table and Milan wanted to get closer to Juventus and
Inter.
After a day full of tension, Berlusconi announced late today that Kaka will be staying at Milan
and that he closed the deal himself. So Milan fans everywhere can now breathe a sigh of relief
(unless you were in favor of him leaving). We'll see what happens over the next few days though.
Regarding Serie A, we are now officially at the half-way point.
Funny sign caught in the stands this week. It says "To the Sheik, if you want Kaka now
you'll have to eat prunes." I thought that was pretty clever and funny. The midweek round
was supposed to be Milan and Juventus' chance to catch Inter as they had a difficult away tie in
Catania.
And so, with Serie A starting up again this weekend, the second half of the season begins
(although technically it begins January 25th when the girone di ritorno begins). I thought
it would be a good idea to give each team a grade for their efforts so far. Serie A has been very
interesting this season and has provided us with some top quality football to gaze our eyes
upon.
Former England captain David Beckham was once again the talk of the town in the Italian Serie A as
he scored the first goal of his Milan career against Bologna just moments ago. Beckham, on loan to
the Rossoneri in a bid to impress England's Italian manager Fabio Capello, arrived at the end of a
Clarence Seedorf pass and struck beautifully into the top corner from the right side of the box.
With little under a week since the dramas of the Manchester City saga unfolded, Kaka seems to have
resumed his life and his football as per normal. And what better way to do so than by scoring two
goals and helping your team to a much deserved win. Whether a rumoured moved to Madrid is in the
cards for the future, only God knows, for the moment though one can only comment on what one can
see.
The first round of the 2008-09 Serie A campaign just ended last week, and with Matchday 20 at our
doorstep it is time to try something different. In my last previews I've focused solely on one
match; this week I think it is to expand our horizons and look at several of the bigger fixtures

David Beckham scored his first goal for AC Milan yesterday in their 4-1 win at
Bologna.
Kaka scored twice and veteran Clarence Seedorf scored Milan's other goals.

Inter defeated Sampdoria 1-0 to give themselves breathing room from Juventus. It was supposed to
be the game where we would see the geniuses of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Antonio Cassano do battle,
but unfortunately both players were unavailable for selection. The game wasn't pretty, but Jose
Mourinho's squad got the job done once again, grinding out a 1-0 victory from a goal from Adriano,
who seems to be reborn.
Here we have a video compilation which shows us the best goals of the first part of the Serie A
season. Some nice goals scored so far. Video after the jump.
(I highly recommend visiting the youtube page of the video and watching it in high quality.)
What do you think has been the best goal so far?
