Un esame di maturità . Per capire se questo Napoli ha avuto una vera e propria trasformazione, in positivo, con l'avvento in panchina di Walter Mazzarri, il quale ha sostituito il deludente Donadoni. Alle 18, a Catania, nel primo anticipo della dodicesima giornata della Serie A, i campani cercano punti preziosi e, anche, di sfatare uno stadio, il Massimino, che negli ultimi anni non ha portato bene ai campani.

A few nice goals this week, but nothing extraordinary. Giuseppe Mascara scored one of his trademark wonder-goals, and Marco Borriello got back on the scoresheet with 2 goals (the second a nice scissor kick) after almost a year. Diego Milito got back to his scoring ways as well after being absent through injury, and Mirko Vucinic finally scored his first goal of the season.

From the same game as yesterday's DTotD, we have Amauri's injury time act of frustration. He tried to be discreet about it, but in most circles kicking a goalkeeper in the face is frowned upon (as is tossing said goalkeeper's own teammate on top of him after the fact, though to a much lesser extent), so Amauri was shown a red card and may or may not have hoped that the referee would fall on the ground so he could kick him in the face, as well.

Napoli won vs. Juventus in Torino for the first time since November 20, 1988, when Maradona's Napoli won 5-3. Since then, there had been 11 wins and 5 ties, and Napoli hadn't scored in Torino since March of 1998. This Napoli side has been rejuvenated under Walter Mazzarri, and they have shown they have a never say die attitude that keeps them working for the full 90 minutes.

If you thought that Napoli's injury time brace, which handed the club a 2-2 draw at home to AC Milan, was its comeback of the week, think again. The underperforming Naples outfit has suddenly brought an end to an indifferent spell by stunning Serie A contenders Juventus 3-2 this evening, and that too away from home.

Although we are only 10 games into the season, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is starting to look more and more like a big flop. 15 million euro were spent on the Dutch striker, and even if he reaches 5 goals this season it would seem like a big achievement. Sure you can say that he needs time to adapt to a new style of play, new language, new culture, but it's already November almost and we still have not seen Huntelaar's name on the score sheet.

Luciano Moggi è tornato a parlare. E lo ha fatto al suo modo, con veemnenza e frasi accusatorie. E' ritornando su quello che è stato il più grande scandalo della storia del calcio italiano, ovvero Calciopoli, Sono passati ormai tre anni da quando si scatenò la "tangentopoli" del mondo pallonaro, ma la ferita ancora brucia e i tifosi juventini non dimenticano.

Sometimes when a footballer spends many many years in a city and does well for its club, he becomes a local hero and gets reverence and perks usually reserved for a dignitary. This mostly happens when a player is older and more mature able to handle the power that comes with being placed on a pedestal.
