Balotelli to Juve Laughing

the Juventus stadium would be always banned then.

Reja has grave responsabilities on poor European results of Lazio, he 's the typical provinciale Italian manager , as Mazzarri ( loool if the next year we go in Europe. I can't wait to get knocked out against Viktor Pilzen Proud

) , compared to Petkovic is even more evident

About the Priest Guidolin .. it is expecially because of Pozzo anyway.
Just remembering when was forced to play a Champions League play off with Corradi and Floro Flores because Udinese sold Sanchez with no replacements Laughing

for the rest he is same man who got a semi-final of Cup Winner's cup against Chelsea of Zola when he was Vicenza manager and he was very close to get the final

A weekend Serie D match between Cavese and Licata ended in an astonishing 19-5 victory for the home side.

Some quality match fixing going on there. rofl

Also Arq, on Poli, my argument has always been that his current skill set is more suited to a three man midfield than the pivot, where in addition to his positioning he'd have to improve his defensive contribution. He's excellent when it comes to pressing the opposition and stepping up to intercept the ball however he can be weak in the tackle at times. I'm certainly optimistic that he could grow into a role in the pivot though and I do believe he'll improve defensively. Some of his performances have been Aquilani-esque though in nature, such as the previous derby against Nagatomo who repeatedly shrugged him off despite his smaller stature. All he needs though is time in one position instead of being shifted around the pitch, which similarly limited Marchisio to sacrificial roles where he was unable to shine as brightly as he might.

Berardi hat trick :bow:

Fior Sassaulo 3-4 close to the end :bow:

Serie A

Stunned by Berardi. Opens the winter with 4 goals vs Milan and then a hat-rick to crawl Sassuolo out of the relegation zone.

The starlet is incredibly raw yet there is so much potential behind that nascent existence of his to which is too delicate to fall on in the wrong hands of improper development. With this kid, it will be black and white.

Real star for Sassuolo this season has been Nicola Sansone for me; the Bayern youth product's combination of skill with both feet and flair is a joy to see.

@Dosto: Marchisio parallels do exist here. Poli for me is our teams most complete player; yet many Italiani managers exploit that resulting in a series of role and semantic changes to which end up purely detrimental to the player, such roles must only be done in the early stages of a players development. I see Poli succeeding with more responsibility, than less to which was on display during the derby, though an effective performance.

Once he finds his marquee role to which he can he perform repetition and memory causal upon, we can see the future midfield dynamo who can last through the years and even wear the armband.

Fortunately, Seedorf speaks very highly of him and has endeared to his abilities as seen by his decisions, along with training.

I love this guy, abusing him for his strengths would be an utter crime yet he's a true Milanistia.

Berardi

by Robespierre Tue May 06, 2014 8:25 pm

Berardi didn't score since hat trick against Milan.

I image the anger to Bologna now : his opponents for relegation battle have won 2 forbidding matches on paper against Roma and Fiorentina where the different motivations have made the difference.

Wanted Crystal Palace also in Italy.

Sassuolo will get saved , they would have done it if Squinzi wouldn't have awful idea to call Malesani ... on the other hands there are worst teams than Sassuolo in A, as Livorno and Bologna without Diamanti, 2 teams terribly scrubs

and infat I believe will relegate Livorno,Catania and Bologna

Catania woke up too late , I don't think they will avoid the nasty day, although Pellegrini already saved in a similar situation the Catania when it was in Serie B 2002-2003 .
At that time also Napoli was very close to relegate in Serie C but it saved just for 1 point ,really other times !

You are wrong there. He scored in Sassuolo's 1-0 win over Chievo 3 weeks ago. The thing is; soon after banging 4 goals vs Milan, Sassuolo sacked their coach Di Francesco and brought in Alberto Malesani. The new coach turned out to be a poor choice. He misused all of his strikers and played them in wrong positions every next game and rotated them regularly. This had a negative impact on his players especially Berardi who lost morale, became unhappy and mixed up in the head. There was an incident where Berardi was sent off with a straight red card only 48 seconds after coming off the bench!

Understandably, the tinkering by the new coach also had a severe negative effect on Sassuolo's season as they went on a loosing streak of 6-7 games and got them languishing at the bottom of the table for a month or two.

Malesani was inevitably booted out, and Di Francesco was brought back. Almost magically, Di Francesco reignited the fire in his players, Berardi being among them, and boom! Sassuolo started climbing up once again. It is no wonder that as soon as Berardi's morale got up again, the goals started coming again and Sassuolo on the track once again.

Because it makes Zanetti look like a die hard Barcelona and Xavi fan who's dream is to meet Xavi?

Either way Zanetti looks 10 years younger than Xavi on that picture and considering that the jersey is barcelona's its like Xavi is retiring not Zanetti lol.

It’s reported Ciro Immobile and Juventus have already given the all-clear for a summer move to Borussia Dortmund.

There was video evidence of a meeting today in Turin between Juve directors and Borussia emissaries.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Immobile has already been won over by the proposal of a five-year contract worth €2m per season.

The striker is currently co-owned by Juventus and Torino, so any transfer would have to be agreed with both clubs.

Sky Sport Italia maintain Torino President Urbano Cairo took Immobile aside after the training session and asked if he really did want to be released for a new career path in Germany.

It’s reported the initial offer is €14m plus another €3m in performance-related bonuses, but the price-tag is thought to be closer to €20m.

Immobile is currently Serie A top scorer with 21 goals for Torino.

I feel that people are being very harsh on Xavi, this is hardly an unusual step to take. If Ibra had given someone a signed Ibra jersey as a retirement gift, people would be calling him a lad. This is a personal touch from one legend of the game to another and I've no doubt Zanetti greatly appreciates it.

please.. zanetti should be lucky to hold a world cup championship's shirt..

Yeah, but Xavi is no Zlatan. Some drive a Fiat and some drive a Ferrari. That's how it is. Zlatan would not send Zlatan's brother to deliver Zlatan's shirt in Zlatan's Ferrari. Zlatan thinks he should take it.

by Robespierre Fri May 09, 2014 9:52 am

Beautiful gesture by Xavi indeed.
Noone asked him to pay tribute to Zanetti , it was a thing wanted by Xavi personally . so the presence of his brother is a secondary matter.
