Hello my friends. Here are the results of the Serie A Week 29 – Twenty-ninth Round on Friday 11, Saturday 12, and Sunday 13 March 2016
A great round for Juventus keeping the first position after defeating Sassuolo. Juventus reaching 67 points. It’s a boost for the morale of the team because Juventus can concentrate now on the upcoming Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg against Bayern Munich to be played on Wednesday 16 March at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Juventus is the only Serie A team remaining in Champions League after the elimination of AS Roma.
Napoli remaining in the 2nd position after defeating Palermo at the Renzo Barbera Stadium. Napoli now with 64 points are -3 points below Juventus. A plus for Napoli is having the sole Top Scorer in the Serie A forward Gonzalo Higuain with 27 goals after converting the penalty against Palermo to secure the victory.
Roma keeping the 3rd position after defeating Udinese at the Friuli Stadium. Roma reaching 59 points. The race for the 3rd position is still alive with 2 main contenders following Roma closely. Inter and Fiorentina having 54 points each are only -5 points below Roma.
Problem now is for AC Milan ending with a goalless draw 0-0 against Chievo Verona. The objective of AC Milan to reach to the 3rd position seeming impossible. Milan remaining in the 6th position with 48 points being -11 points below Roma.
Lazio defeating Atalanta. Lazio is the only Serie A team remaining in Europa League.
The top scorer up to Round 29: Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain with 27 goals

MILAN – Youth team coach Cristian Brocchi spoke exclusively to the Milan Channel earlier today and ahead of his side’s participation at the prestigious Viareggio Tournament:
“I always ask my team to play with the same attitude for the entire 90 minutes. I don’t like to see anyone stop playing and we always have to attack and score. That is what we’re doing. I am pleased for Luca Vido. He is scoring some important goals and he and the team deserved to be praised. A player that wears the Milan jersey is always fired up. In my day, no one needed to be fired up. We were always hungry to play for this club. It was in our DNA. I start off with the premise that every player has to be able to handle the pressure. There is a lot of responsibility at this club and you have to be able to deal with the pressure in the good and the bad times. The Europa League will have a big impact, mentally and physically. It will be very draining for Lazio. Your routine changes and the match with Sparta Prague will be very tiring. Lazio will be focused on Europe. Let’s hope they progress and then we will see how Milan approach the match on Sunday.”
MILAN – Vladislav Zhikov of the Milan youth sector has been called-up to the Bulgaria U17 squad for the Elite Phase of the European Championships. His nation will meet Holland on March 24, Germany on March 26 and Slovakia on March 29.
MILAN – After coming back from Holland following ankle surgery, M’Baye Niang spoke to Sky. This is what the Frenchman had to say: “I hope I can recover in time for the Italian Cup final. I don’t think the team’s negative run is to do with my absence. I am certain that from the next match my team-mates will start doing well again. It has taken just two matches to start criticising the coach and there isn’t enough patience here. But we know how well Mihajlovic is working, and as far as I am concerned, he is the right man for Milan.”
