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.

Party time for Juventus seeing the Scudetto closer. Juventus sole leader and motivation high after being the sole Serie A team qualifying in Champions League Quarterfinals. It is forward Carlos Tevez to score the only goal of the match enough to grab the victory. Simply put, guys, it is almost clear that Juventus already won this Scudetto having a +17 lead over Roma holding the second position with 50 points.
Tevez opening the score in the 25th minute defeating Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin with a right footed shot in the top right corner. The assist is by midfielder Roberto Pereyra. It’s the 16th goal of the season for Tevez.
Genoa ending with 10 players after goalkeeper Perin had to be substituted for a shoulder injury in the 52nd minute. Perin replaced by goalkeeper Eugenio Lamanna.
Referee Di Bello giving a penalty to Juventus conceded by Genoa defender Facundo Roncaglia after a foul on midfielder Pereyra. An unthinkable moment… It is Tevez to take the penalty spot and guess what? What? Goalkeeper Lamanna saving!!!! Yep, Lamanna saying no to Tevez who fails to convert the penalty in the 62nd minute.
Here is JUVENTUS official starting lineup by coach Massimiliano Allegri:
