Seeing as Ranieri is best remembered for blowing the 03/04 Champions League semifinal against Monaco (then managed by his predecessor at Juventus, Didier Deschamps), I'm not *too* keen on going through his comments seeking pearls of wisdom. However, he's an experienced manager and he's done quite well in his career so maybe what he says makes [. Click to continue reading...

Dal ritiro della Nazionale, le dichiarazioni di Daniele De Rossi.

"Dire che il ciclo di Spalletti alla Roma è finito è l'analisi più superficiale: l'allenatore ha più meriti di quelli che si ricordano ora. E quella che ci vorrebbe in rotta con Spalletti per il contatto con il Chelsea è addirittura una barzelletta. Click to continue reading...

In the current calcio world of teams that are constantly undergoing financial troubles, that jump between Serie A and Serie B, that get relegated and never come back, that have crazy owners who fire managers left and right, that have locker room problems, there is one club that defies all of these qualities and performs miracles every year.

Give us a smile, Zdenek It's one of those things that seems so trivial when you watch it happen to someone else, and yet there is nothing like losing a tooth to hit a vanity nerve and send even a tough footballer into a state of confusion.

At the end of the 6th Giornata we still saw surprises. Inter is top of the table, but they share a place with Lazio and Udinese, two squads who have been impressing in this start of the season. Both clubs are putting in good performances and don't look like calming down any time soon. Inter beat Bologna (with a splendid goal from Ibrahimovic), while Lazio needed a late equalizer from Simone Inzaghi (his first goal in Serie A in 4 years) to draw with Lecce.

Good form comes and goes at AC Milan lately. One week, the Rossoneri get beaten by teams like Bologna and Genoa. Later, they rebound nicely with a whopping 4-1 against Lazio and derby win over Inter Milan. Then later still, we get back to abysmal displays against modest teams, such as Sunday's 0-0 draw vs. Click to continue reading...
