Good morning my friends.  How are you?  Coffee for everyone today.  It seems it’s a day of hope for AC Milan fans.  La Gazzetta dello Sport main  headline showing the big photo of the new coach Filippo Inzaghi starting a new era for a poor Milan looking to shine again as Champions.    Let’s not forget the poor performance from Milan last season resulting in being out of Champions League and Europa League this season.  Will Inzaghi bring back the glorious days? That’s the question.

A headline hitting me big time is about Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain…. according to the clause he is worth 100 millions!!   Moreover, guys, BAM !  Fiorentina president Della Valle saying that coach Cesare Prandelli has in his DNA the escape factor!

A new era bein in AC Milan
Inzaghi, three reasons to believe (with reasons)

Pippo presents himself with Barbara and Galliani: “Whoever doesn’t fight cannot play for me.”
His pluses: the friendly atmosphere, the managing of the group and the shirt as value.

Market
Mazzarri: “A fighting Inter.” And Pereyra arrives

Juve unleashed
Evra deal done, Morata on Tuesday and now interest in Romulo

De Laurentiis: “There is a €100 million clause for Higuain.”

The World Cup
Germany-Argentina: there isn’t only Messi against the Germans

Countries in comparison
Angela and Cristina, criminals and pilots, it is a complete battle

The final of the two Pope’s, I imagine it like this

The Viola owner attacks the ex-coach of the national team.
“Prandelli? Escape is in his DNA.”

Diego Della Valle: “He already ran from Fiorentina.”
Andrea: “Angered by the words on Rossi

Juve, all done for Evra now for Iturbe and Morata
Definitive agreement with Manchester.

Inzaghi, his AC Milan start: “Those who follow the rules will play.”

The coach warns Balotelli. Rami signed.

“Higuain costs €100 million”
De Laurentiis reveals: “This is the value of his buy-out clause, but he only wants Napoli. Barca and Atletico want Callejon but he will remain. And I will buy two players: I will make some surprises. The Supercoppa with Juve will be in Italy, not in Rome.”

The attack to the ex coach
Della Valle: “Prandelli is used to running.”

The attack to the top
Pallotta: “Let’s close out with the antique calcio.”

World Cup: Argentina-Germany on Sunday.
Romero, the toss away becomes a star
The Samp goalkeeper has multiplied his value. But there also those who have been devalued: Hulk

The striker is expected in Torino for his medical tests and presentation: “I can’t wait to work with Conte.” Talks continue with Verona for Iturbe.

Messi-Muller, guaranteed show
The two stars of Argentina and Germany already light up the final in Rio.

Toro: Cairo warns Juve.
“Quagliarella right away or I will change target.”

Inzaghi sets the rules.
“Come on AC Milan, let’s try to imitate Atletico.”
