Hello my friends. It’s Monday morning. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Monday 16 March 2015. How are you?
Main headline today is about Hellas Verona defeating Napoli. Well, actually Verona forward Luca Toni crushing Napoli . The other main headline is about Inter not knowing how to win anymore. Inter ended up with a 1- 1 draw against Cesena at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Questions arising now as to whether Inter will be ready to face Wolfsburg in Europa League at the Meazza….
Headline for AC Mian is about the pressure for Coach Filippo Inzaghi to win the match against Fiorentina. Rumors going around that coach Maurizio Sarri might replace him….. but is Sarri a top coach for this dying Milan?

Inter succumbing to the pressure to win the home game to keep up the race towards a spot in Europa League next season only to ended up with a 1-1 draw. Cesena in desperate need to defeat Inter to climb towards salvation. Bottom line, Inter needed to get back to the winning path after losing the Europa League Round of 16 against Wolfsburg in Germany. Now, Inter will prepare to face Wolfsburg this Thursday at the Meazza for the second leg of the Europa League. Surely, this draw is not a high motivation.
Surprise, surprise, it is Cesena to open the score freezing the Giuseppe Meazza! In the 30th minute Cesena forward Gregoire Defrel defeating Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic with a left footed shot in the center. The assist is by midfielder Carlos Carbonero.
