Hello my friends. It’s Wednesday morning full of hope for the Italian National team. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Wednesday 25 March 2015.
How are you my friends?
Oh my gosh! Wow, it sounds like someone is not happy at all. Yep! Headline on Inter President Eric Thohir deciding to shorten Summer vacation in case of the team not conquering a spot in Europe next season. Oh my my… what a pressure now for players. For the moment, up to Week 28, Inter are in the 9th position with 37 points which will eliminate them. So, the challenge or I would say the sentence is already written on the wall. Inter are 10 points below the European zone seeing Napoli in the 5th position with 47 points. Problem is that we have only 10 more games to end the season…
There is an encouraging headline about Juventus. Michel Platini thinks that Juventus can win this year the Champions League. Wow, will that happen, guys.? Simply put, Juventus will have to pass to the Semifinal first. Challenge now for Juventus is to defeat AS Monaco in the Quarterfinals.
Italy Head Coach Antonio Conte continuing with preparations towards the Euro 2016 Qualification game against Bulgaria and then the friendly game against England. As headline indicates, forwards in this national team are not scoring enough goals. Oh gosh, I wish to see a stronger team with our forwards scoring and winning games with more than 1 goal and convincingly….. your take?

=============== Italian Serie A Tickets for next 10 games
Hello my friends. It’s Tuesday morning full of hope for the Italian National team. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Tuesday 24 March 2015.
How are you my friends? Well, I am doing fine. I am in total shock with the headline about Inter coach Roberto Mancini not happy with the called up of Sampdoria forward Citadin Eder and Palermo midfielder Franco Vazquez because they are not Italian born. BAM! Wow! Are you kidding me? Wait, there is more… same headline seeing former Italy Head Coach Marcello Lippi saying that he won the World Cup with a non-Italian born player but naturalized: Argentinian born Mauro Camoranesi. Now, here I come, my thoughts? Let me tell you, I like Camoranesi and I am so thankful with his performance during his years with the Italian National team.
Talking about transfer market, headline on the deal of Sassuolo forward Simone Zaza with Juventus reportedly is a done deal. Zaza is even looking for a house in Turin.
Bam! A headline really leaving me speechless is about AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi. Yep, get this one, when Berlusconi was asked about Milan, he just replied “let’s talk about more important things”….. Oh well, your thoughts?

Hello my friends. It’s Monday morning and an all Black and White joyful day. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Monday 23 March 2015. It’s a fact that Juventus are game after game closer to win the Scudetto. Are you kidding me? Hello, Juventus are now +14 points ahead of AS Roma who also won yesterday against Cesena.
I agree with the headlines “Bombazo Scudetto”. Bam! Surely, the only goal of the game Juventus 1 – 0 Genoa was made by forward Carlos Tevez with a subliminal message to the rest of the teams.. Come on, guys, like it or not, Tevez is a key player for this Juventus and “the Scudetto.”
As for AS Roma, headlines praising Capitan futuro midfielder Daniele De Rossi. Surely, you bet I am also praising De Rossi scoring the only goal of the match against Cesena to claim the victory. It has been a tough week with all the rumors about De Rossi possible transfer to the MLS, but yesterday, the fans celebrated with him. Am I happy? Oh yeah!
Mamma mia. Great headline highlighting the victory of Sampdoria over Inter. Yep, Sampdoria forward Citadin Eden crashing Inter with his goal at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium! It’s also a “BLUE” Eder because he has been called up for the first time to be part of the Italian National team! oh yeahhhhhhh You bet I am so happy for him! Same headline points out a “black” Inter as they are losing points almost in every game plus being eliminated in Europa League just signaling a wake up call. Here is the thing. The ex Roberto Mancini’s assistant and now coaching Sampdoria “Sinisa Mihajlovic” showing a lesson to his teacher. Mihajlovic claiming the victory, four consecutive victories and the fourth position is a reality now.
Another headline indicating a crisis is about Napoli coach Rafael Benitez furious! Yep, Benitez not happy with the referee and think the result was conditioned by non football issues. The game ended Napoli 1- 1 Atalanta at the San Paolo Stadium.
