I titoli sulle testate italiane si sprecano: da Super Milan a Milanissimo è facile in questi giorni apostrofare con tinte entusiaste la marcia in Serie A del Milan di Allegri che non perde un secondo per tenere il passo della capolista, la Juve di Conte. Si, forse quel punto che separa i rossoneri dalla signora,Continua a leggere .

Benvenuto amici! Here's a perfect photo demonstrating the unglamorous side of football when you're on the pitch and it starts to rain. Believe us, it's absolutely horrible. Poor Claudio Ranieri had to stay on and watch as his Inter boys fought and sunk 0-1 to lowly Lecce at the Via del Mare stadium last night.
