Check out our highlights from Vincenzo Montella’s pre-match press conference this afternoon.
What are Juve’s strengths?
“We know how good they are, but we need to show courage and be confident enough to use our strengths to best effect. I’m expecting a tough match against a strong team that’s been on top of Italian football for over three years now. We need to have faith.”
Will there be wholesale changes tomorrow?
“I have a clear idea of what I want to do. We were not in the game psychologically on Sunday, but we put a lot more running in that Cagliari. Having said that, we didn’t have the right approach and got things wrong in our preparation. We put in a poor performance and got beaten, so we take full responsibility for that.”
Should the squad go into a training camp?
“It’s not necessary. We stick together even in defeat. I see the players every single day and I really don’t think we need to send them into a training camp. In every group there are players with different characteristics, but as a whole the squad is in good health.”

Good morning my friends. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Tuesday 28 April 2015. Coffee everyone… ok, you might grab a tea or juice too.
Bad news continuing… Headlines naming the past Derby della Mole between Torino vs Juventus as the Derby of the Shame… Reportedly, the paper bomb in the Torino section was thrown by Juventus fans. The closing of the Curva is coming…
Torino gaining momentum and even the compliments by Lippi. Not the same happy mood for Juventus. Headlines stating coach Massimiliano Allegri not happy with some players not understanding that what it counts in Juventus is only to win. Surely, Allegri not happy with the defeat against Torino…..
Headlines for Napoli showing that President Aurelio De Laurentis has a plan for Benitez. Talking about coaches.. Mamma mia, am I happy or what! Headline on Mr. Bee wanting dreaming to get back coach Carlo Ancelotti!!! It will be spectacular to see Ancelotti leading the revival of this poor Milan to their great glory again.
Now, my friends, the headline on today’s game Udinese vs Inter is thrilling. Inter pursuing to cause an upset in Udine to defeat Udinese and grab the three points to climb towards the Europa League section next season. Here is the thing, Udinese also wants to be in Europa!
Headline on transfer market creating tension among Roma fans. Reportedly, Manchester United are after midfielder Radja Nainggolan ….
News still going on about Atalanta forward German Denis getting a 5 match suspension after punching in the face Empoli defender Lorenzo Tonelli who also got a 1 match suspension ….. this issue will continue because Tonelli denying having threaten Denis….

Good morning my friends. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Monday 27 April 2015. I hope you are doing fine. I woke up very late and catching up with the latest news. So, here we go….. allow me to grab a snack…. I am hungry.
I must tell you that I am so upset with all the violent acts before and during the Derby della Mole Torino vs Juventus! Headlines are rightly reporting it was a terrible Sunday a cursed derby outside the pitch. Imagine, hello, stones thrown at the Juventus pullman, a paper bomb thrown at the Torino section inside the stadium resulting 10 injured and 5 arrested. It’s just time to take serious sanction as pointed out b y Tavecchio. Anyway, Juventus losing their 3rd match this season while Torino won the Derby after 20 years!!!!
Oh my gosh, I am even embarrassed to share the headline on the madness after the Atalanta 2 – 2 Empoli match too. One of my favorite players, Atalanta forward German Denis going straight to the changing room and punched in the face Empoli defender Lorenzo Tonelli! This is just out of my mind… What’s going on !!!! Hello, calm down, we are trying to send a non violence message and we are seeing these headlines just doing the opposite. Time for sports to take priority again. The sporting judge rightly giving a 5 match suspension to Denis and 1 match suspension to Tonelli for threatening to kill Denis. Oh well, I am just having a headache!
It’s a bad Monday morning watching these bad news… Another headline upsetting me is about the decisive hours to sell AC Milan… Mr. Bee is in Milan to meet President Silvio Berlusconi…. More than a coffee, I need to drink a Chamomile tea and relax!!!!!!!
