Hello my friends. It’s Tuesday morning and the party is all for Juventus.  Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Tuesday 10 March 2015.  I woke up very energetic and enjoying reading the newspapers while having my big cup of coffee.  How are you?  Are you heading to work, school? staying home?

Main headline today is about Juventus defeating Sassuolo to reach 61 points having now a +11 points ahead of AS Roma holding the second position with 50 points.   I agree that Juventus are just now on a solo flight to collect the Scudetto.  Hero of the victory is midfielder Paul Pogba the scorer of the only goal and enough to secure the victory.

Headlines also for Lazio who defeated Fiorentina with a poker 4-0.  Lazio overtaking the 3rd position sending Napoli down to the 4th position for the goal difference as both have 46 points.

And guess what?  what!  There is a headline grabbing my attention and is the return of coach Zdenek Zeman to Cagliari!!!!!!   Yep.   Zeman will attempt to save Cagliari and is a good bye to coach Gianfranco Zola…..

Hello my friends. Here are the Serie A RESULTS for Week 26 on Saturday 7, Sunday 8, and Monday 9 March 2015.   We have 2 upset this week.  First one is AS Roma failing to defeat Chievo Verona at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium ending with a 0-0 draw.  Why is this an upset?  Well, it is an upset because Roma were supposed to win to keep up the race for the Scudetto alive with Juventus.     Roma having 50 points and Juventus reaching 61 points after defeating Sassuolo thanks to the goal by midfielder Paul Pogba for the 1-0.  Come on guys, by now,,, it seems the Scudetto belongs to Juventus unless a total miracle happen….

Three games on Sunday ended with a 0-0 result: Cesena 0 – 0 Palermo, Parma 0 – 0 Atalanta, and Chievo Verona 0 – 0 AS Roma.

The other upset is the hilarious draw in San Siro.  Yep, AC Milan 2 – 2 Hellas Verona.  Milan were winning 2-1 up to the 94th minute when BAM, voila’ … Verona equalizing to grab a point and shattering Milan’s dream to reach towards the European Zone.  A total disappointment with this poor Milan clearly forgot how to win games consistently.

A highlight this week is the first goal of forward Samuel Eto’o as a Sampdoria player in the 72nd minute.  Game ending Sampdorida 2 – 0 Cagliari.

Parma 0 – 0 Atalanta.   Finally, Parma playing a game after 2 postponed games.  Sadly, the match for Parma ended with a goalless draw and still remain in the 20th position.

Big clash Napoli vs Inter ending with a clamorous 2-2.   An electrifying game seeing the “Argentinians from both teams” battling until the end.  However, it is Inter to have the better performance seeing both Argentinian forwards  Rodrigo Palacio and Mauro Icardi scoring to equalize the score.   For Napoli, it is Argentinian forward to score for the 2nd goal …. not enough…

Big upset!   Napoli losing the 3rd position because Lazio defeated Fiorentina with a 4-0.  Lazio now reaching 46 points just like Napoli, but for goal difference Lazio having +20 and Napoli +13, then, it is Lazio to grab the 3rd position .

The top scorer up to Round 25: Juventus forward Carlos Tevez and Inter forward Mauro Icardi  with 15 goals each.

Pasqual and Pradè speak after a tough night in Rome

Fiorentina captain Manuel Pasqual and sporting director Daniele Pradè gave their thoughts on a disappointing night for the Viola in the capital. Pasqual made no bones about the loss: “It’s a tough defeat, especially coming off the back of such a good run where we’ve picked up some massive results. Losing 4-0 is never good, but this can help us to kick on again. It’s just a blip. “Just as we did well not to dwell on some of the big wins we’ve picked up recently, we need to make sure we put this loss behind us quickly. We need to work hard and look at what went wrong, of course, but the most important thing is to move on.
 
“We have an important game against Roma on Thursday and then Milan on Monday night. Both are vital if we’re to progress in the Europa League and continue performing well in Serie A. “Lazio are a good team and they caused us problems today. They’re not up at the top end of the table by chance. We were looking to get back into the game and ended up conceding the second and third goals. “When you have such a lot of games in such a short space of time, especially when you’re playing against top-quality opposition, there’s always a chance you can slip up. We’ve come unstuck tonight,” declared Pasqual. Pradè was similarly frank about disappointing nature of the team’s defeat: “Well, it’s certainly an evening to forget. Let’s look at it as a blip. I think the players were a bit tired mentally after all the matches they’ve played in the last few weeks. We need to ensure we recharge our batteries and get ready for the challenges that await. “Of course, we’re disappointed not to have played well, but I think after the Spurs, Inter and Juventus games we’d used up all our mental energy. Lazio deserved to win today – they played good football and maintained an impressive level of intensity throughout. They were more competitive than us tonight,” conceded Pradè.

Hello my friends. It’s Monday morning  and chaos continue for AC Milan. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Monday 9 March 2015.   Grab your cup of coffee or tea and let’s talk about it.

Headlines indicating there is still hope for Milan Coach Filippo Inzaghi.  For the moment, Milan President Silvio Berlusconi  is giving Inzaghi another chance before making the final decision to sack him.  Oh well, your take?  Should Inzaghi be sacked now and who can replace him?  Should Inzaghi stay?

I like the headline on Napoli – Inter.. it really was total madness.  I must say, it was a tough lesson to Napoli.   Inter managed to survive and not gave up until ruining Napoli’s party.   Imagine, Inter equalized in the 87th minute  with forward Mauro Icardi converting a penalty.

I agree with the headline about Roma coach Rudi Garcia upset with the team.  Hello, come on, hello, Roma had the time to win the game against Chievo but played bad and Juventus could be +11 points ahead if they defeat today Sassuolo.  Simply put, Roma had wasted many chances to shorten the gap.
