QUOTE Inter Or Juventus Can Win Serie A, But Watch Out For Roma - Brazil Coach Dunga Former midfield general and current Brazil coach Carlos Dunga has opined on Serie A, noting that Inter and Juventus are the main title contenders, but tipping Roma as a dark horse. However, he is worried about Milan, now led by his friend Leonardo. "The departure of Kaka is a bitter pill to swallow, and the departure of [coach Carlo] Ancelotti has also created problems," Dunga told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "Leonardo is a friend, but the problems are now beginning for him. When you are a spectator, everything is easy. When you begin to play, you find yourself judged every day. Leonardo does not have an easy task.” Dunga declared, in reference to the Old Lady, "This Brazilian Juventus is ready to win the Scudetto. The club have done well in the transfer market: none of their key players have left and they have bought some important players, Felipe Melo for example. "But from the start, [Inter] are the strongest Italian side. Eto'o has always scored a lot, not only in [the Primera Division] but also in the Champions League. Inter have also bought a first class defender [in the form of Lucio]. "Lucio will transmit his will to win through the whole team. [Coach Jose] Mourinho has chosen well and will be enamoured with him. "I have a soft spot for Roma, they play a modern style of football. If their key players can avoid injury, they will pose a real threat to the rest of the league." Dunga spent a number of years in Italy during his playing career, most notably with Fiorentina from 1988-1992. shut the f*ck up dunga. First qualify for world cup yourself then talk. |

Well, Bari was my Serie B team for years and I have a fondness for them. Would love to see them at least stay up this year. The current owner of Bari is...well, not very popular. The fans IN Bari refer to him as (polite version of translation) 'Piggy'. I think jmj wants to buy the club and also buy land around the stadium to put up hotels/shops/luxury stuff. And that's where they'll make their money. It might turn out to be a good thing.

You should be shot on sight. |

Top 10 Things To Expect In Italy This Season
With a new campaign now nearly upon us, Carlo Garganese takes a light-hearted look at 10 things that are certain to take place in Italy in the 2009/10 season… 10) Antonio Cassano misses the World Cup, Simone Pepe goes Marcello Lippi continues his stubborn refusal to select Antonio Cassano, meaning that the Sampdoria star is left at home for the World Cup. Lippi persists with his tragic 4-3-3 system and instead takes Udinese winger Simone Pepe, Fiorentina forward Alberto Gilardino and Bayern Munich oldie Luca Toni to South Africa. 9) Aurelio De Laurentiis insults every person in the whole world Not content with bashing Fabio Cannavaro and Ezequiel Lavezzi, as well as erupting like Vesuvius that “the English live badly, eat badly and their women do not wash their genitalia”, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis actually succeeds in insulting every person in the whole world. How does he manage this? He says that “anyone who believes Roberto Donadoni to be a bad coach is an idiot”. 8) Adrian Mutu doesn’t pay his Chelsea fine After being ordered to cough up €17 million compensation by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after being sacked for testing positive for cocaine during his Chelsea days, Fiorentina star Mutu has no intention of paying the money back. The Romanian takes the case to the European Court of Human Rights, and surprise, surprise – he wins. 7) Roma fans invade training Come on, it happens every season whether Roma are doing well or badly. The Giallorossi are in Scudetto contention but defeat in the Derby della Capitale against Lazio sees all hell break loose. Alexander Doni’s car has a brick put through its windscreen, Luciano Spalletti is chased around the Colosseum being pelted with tomatoes and eggs, while a group of 500 fans invade Trigoria. The chaos only comes to an end when a Beast emerges from the trees and scares away all the hooligans. 6) Samuel Eto’o the best player in the world, says Jose Mourinho One of Jose Mourinho’s favourite psychological tricks. At Chelsea, Petr Cech was the best goalkeeper in the world, John Terry the best defender, Frank Lampard the best midfielder and Didier Drogba best striker. Last season at Inter, 'The Special One' described Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the world’s No.1 player – how long before Eto’o replaces him? Cone man Giuseppe Baresi (Steve Clarke) is apparently the globe’s greatest assistant too. 5) Ronaldinho stars in Saturday Night Fever III With John Travolta unavailable, director Sylvester Stallone calls on the services of another overweight has-been for the starring role. The plot involves the buck-toothed Brazilian combining stressful days at AC Milan with a party-animal nightlife. Ronnie never gets to bed any earlier than 6am and there is also a cameo performance from Silvio Berlusconi, who in one scene steals the Brazilian’s 18-year-old girlfriend, only for Arsene Wenger to save the day by promising the youngster a contract at Arsenal and guaranteed regular action. 4) Maurizio Zamparini & Walter Zenga have a fight Mix together the craziest president in Italy with the craziest coach, and there is guaranteed to be a nuclear explosion. The pair declare their love for one another during the opening weeks of the season as Palermo top the table before Zamparini launches a withering public attack on Zenga after the Sicilians only manage a 1-1 draw away at Juventus. The duo are then involved in a fist-fight live on Italian TV, Zenga walks out of the club, Zamparini brings back Francesco Guidolin, sacks him, brings back Zenga again and declares the two are best friends once more, before ditching the Italia ’90 keeper for a second time. Guidolin returns for the final six weeks of the season. 3) Juventus’ full-backs cost them major honours The Bianconeri are in contention to win both the Scudetto and Champions League, but their disastrous full-backs cost them both trophies. In a key title showdown with Inter, Jonathan Zebina is sent off for headbutting Massimo Moratti before punching a cameraman. While in the Champions League final against Barcelona, Juventus lead 1-0 with five minutes to go before Cristian Molinaro and Zdenek Grygera both score spectacular own goals from 30-yards out. 2) Milan just avoid relegation After a miserable transfer summer, Milan still head into the season with the ridiculous hope of winning the Scudetto. Despite triumphing in the Derby in week 2, Milan lose to Siena, Livorno, Bologna, Udinese, Bari and Atalanta in the first couple of months and by Christmas find themselves rock bottom of Serie A. The Rossoneri remain in the relegation zone all season until an own goal by Juventus’ Molinaro in the final minute of the final day saves them. 1) Inter flop in the Champions League The Nerazzurri win the Scudetto by default, but when they are really tested in Europe they fail miserably once again. Jose Mourinho’s men scrape through a group containing Sporting, Dynamo Kiev and Debrecen on goal difference before being dumped out in the second round by Barcelona, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring the winner with the first Champions League knockout goal of his career.

QUOTE (Football Italia (not Ch. 4 anymore)) Adriano: 'I'm a new man' Wednesday 12 August, 2009 Ex-Inter striker Adriano insists he has calmed his partying ways and is ready for a return to Europe, including Italian clubs. “I went through a period of deep depression and it was very difficult to keep the Press out of my private life,” he told Globoesporte. “I was often unjustly attacked with a sea of lies, which is why I now try to speak as little as possible about my private life. “Leaving Italy and returning to my family was like taking an oppressive weight off my shoulders. Now, thanks to my mother, everything is better.” L’Imperatore walked out on Inter mid-season when he refused to return from international duty, threatening to quit football altogether. He rescinded his contract by mutual consent and joined Flamengo, where he has found a new lease of life and is leading the scorers’ charts with 10 goals. “I do not have a girlfriend and am relaxed,” said the man often criticised for his hard partying. “It may seem incredible, but I hardly go out at night now. I even stay home on the holidays and Sundays, when everyone goes out to have fun. “The objective is to carry on like this with Flamengo, but only God knows what my future holds. “I know that some clubs, including Italians, have shown an interest in me. If one day I do return to Europe, it will be with a very different mentality.” Whatever. How many times have we seen this movie already? |
