Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A ROUNDUP for
the
Serie A Week 22, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 1, Sunday 2 and Monday 3 February
2014, matchday 22. Highlights in this round are the 2 derbies! The
Derby d’Italia Juventus vs Inter on Sunday 2 February and the Derby
della Lanterna Genoa vs Sampdoria moved to Monday 3 February.
Here is the thing. No matter the result in the Derby d’Italia, Juventus will remain the sole leader of the Serie A. Juventus
have a 6-point gap ahead of AS Roma. It’s just too bad the game Roma – Parma had to be postponed for the heavy rain making it impossible to continue playing at the Olimpico. Juventus crushing Inter, a total humiliation, total dominion by Juventus. Definitely, Juventus demonstrating why they are the sole leaders in Serie A and why they are pursuing their 3rd consecutive Scudetto…. strong candidate while Inter had to surrender and bow down…… Inter went down from the 5th to the 6th position.
Great victory for Udinese winning the away game at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium defeating Bologna. The morale for Udinese continuing high as they also are in the Coppa Italia Semifinal.
Bologna risking to fall in the relegation zone….. Bologna 0 – 2 Udinese. The goals by Udinese Captain Antonio Di Natale converting a penalty in the 15th minute and the goal by Nico Lopez in the 92nd minute.
A disappointment is for AC Milan unable to win the third consecutive win with coach Clarence Seedorf. Milan failing big time in San Siro going down by a goal to make a comeback in the second half. It’s a 1 point with a sound of defeat for the Rossoneri, but for Torino it comes with a sound of victory. The situation for Milan is getting complicated being also eliminated of the Coppa Italia, now risking to be out of European competition next season.
Another blow is for Fiorentina! Yep, Fiorentina losing 3 precious points on their quest to arrive to the third position. It is party time for Cagliari defeating Fiorentina at the Sant’Elia Stadium with the penalty converted by forward Mauricio Pinilla in the 39th minute. Cagliari 1 – 0 Fiorentina
Surprise, surprise. Napoli are falling, Napoli losing points game after game. A devastated defeat with a firm Atalanta. Napoli with risk of losing the third position after the humiliation at the Atleti Azzurri d’Italia Stadium. Atalanta 3 – 0 Napoli Two goals by the ex Napoli player forward German Denis! If Napoli lose next week, Fiorentina might take over the third position if they win against Atalanta!!!
The 76th Derby della Lanterna seeing Sampdoria winning the Derby in the 24th minute with forward Maxi Lopez scoring the only goal of the match.
As for news this week is the debut of Sassuolo coach Alberto Malesani
who replaced coach Eusebio Di Francesco. Let’s see how he does……
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 59 points and a positive goal difference of +38. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 50 points and a positive goal difference of +34. Napoli in the 3rd position with 44 points and a positive goal difference of +18 The Europa League zone. Fiorentina in the 4th position with 41 points and a positive goal difference of +16. Hellas Verona in the 5th position with 35 points and a positive goal difference of +2
Relegation Zone: Livorno in the 18th position with 17 points and a negative goal difference of -18. Sassuolo in the 19th position with 17 points and a negative goal difference of -25. Catania in the 20th position with 15 points and a negative goal difference of -24.

Good morning my friends. How are you? I hope you are doing fine. I am barely recovering from a flu…. almost a week! Headlines today are all praises for Juventus winning the Derby d’Italia. I agree with headlines that it was so easy for Juventus to defeat Inter.
I also agree with the headlines on Napoli living a chaotic moment. Imagine, Atalanta slapping Napoli with 3 goals including two from the ex Napoli forward Argentinian German Denis. It’s chaos because coach Rafael Benitez using many reserves, and this Napoli certainly not consistent and losing precious points. Benitez now under trial, and will have to deliver a winner lineup for the Coppa Italia game against Roma on Wednesday at the Olimpico.
Headlines for the game AS Roma – Parma postponed until the month of April. The game was stopped for the heavy rain.

Antonio Conte believes thorough pre-match preparation was the key to
this evening’s solid 3-1 victory over Inter at Juventus Stadium.
The manager guided his troops to an 11th successive Serie A home
win and was full of positives for the displays of the reigning champions
against a side tipped by many to be a realistic challenger for this
season’s Scudetto crown.
Whilst speaking to the media after the final whistle, Conte did,
however, mention the need for his men to maintain their high-intensity
approach throughout after Inter handed themselves a glimmer of a hope
with Rolando’s strike 18 minutes from time.
The 44-year-old began: “We prepared every minute detail in the
build-up to the game and I’m happy with the overall performance put in
by the players. Credit to them, they did well.
“It’s a pity about the goal we conceded, which gave us a few
anxious moments towards the end. We need to keep the tension high all
the way through until the end, all it takes is a fortuitous goal to open
things up again.
“We’re the league’s top scorers and could have netted more than
three tonight. Handanovic did very well in certain situations. I’ve
always wanted for my teams to play on the front foot. It’s always better
to play attacking football than sit back with men behind the ball.”
Ending with a thought on transfer deadline day capture Dani
Osvaldo, Conte said: “The player really wanted to come to Juventus and
actually significantly reduced his demands to secure the move. He’ll
improve the quality of our strike force and offer important competition
to those already here.”

Stephan Lichtsteiner has spoken of his desire to win everything
possible this season with the Bianconeri, an aim he has helped on its
way by weighing in with another crucial contribution tonight in the 3-1
victory over Inter.
The Swiss opened the scoring at Juventus Stadium, making a run into the box from deep to head home his second of the season.
He has provided five assists, too, but tonight it was Andrea Pirlo
who did the honours for him, and the 30-year-old began his post-match
interview with a word of thanks for the midfield maestro: “I have to
thank Andrea, who laid it on a plate for me. With his assists,
everything becomes much easier.
“I’m happy because it had been a while since I’d scored like that.
In the heat of the moment, I didn’t think about whether to control or
strike it straight away, I just acted instinctively.
Lichtsteiner went on to offer a comment on how the eagerly-anticipated tactical battle panned out.
“Inter are in a bit of difficulty, but they’re always tough
opposition. We played at a high tempo, only dropping towards the end,
but with a 3-0 lead that was understandable.”
He concluded with a message for Juve’s rivals in Serie A and the
Europa League, an adventure soon to kick off against Trabzonspor in
Turin on 20 February.
“We want to go on to big things in Europe, too. Everyone views us
as favourites, but we know it won’t be easy. We’ll do our best, we’ve
got no intentions of letting up in any competition.”
