Good morning my friends!     I hope you are having a good day and ready for the Serie A games.  Headlines today are a bit tense…. BAM!   Imagine, I don’t even know what to think about the declarations of forward Mario Balotelli criticizing ex Italian Head Coach Cesare Prandelli calling him “not a real man.”    According to Balotelli, Prandelli does not tell you things to your face… oh well….  Is it right for Balotelli to take this position?

A headline making me happy is the one about the good moment of Torino forward Fabio Quagliarella!  I agree with Pulici and look forward to see Qua Qua Qua  Quagliarella rocking and scoring more goals.

As for AC Milan headlines… oh well, we are still dealing with the ongoing rebuilding “wishful thinking” to see them back to the top.  Silvio and Barbara Berlusconi looking for ways to achieve their goal.   For the moment, the hope is forward Fernando Torres to become the inspirational motor…. by the way, Torres seeing Super Pippo Inzaghi as a model.

  • The Argentinian tells his childhood, the moment of Inter, the great love, and a jab at Maradona

Icardi: “I am a killer of goals.”
“Those who jeer us don’t love Inter. With Mazzarri I am training on my technique a lot. And the work will pay off.”
“I train with Wanda’s kids while we wait for ours. The Rolls Royce? I like cars.”

  • Capello and Trap: “Hand off Juve.”

Capello: “I won with Roma, therefore it is possible to beat the Old Lady. Psychological pressure? I know that certain clubs are used to winning.”
Trap: “The Bianconeri play against all of Italy. The violin from Garcia was an ugly gesture: they must have instilled him with a wrong idea.”

  • De Sanctis, the controversies triggered by the interview
  • The controversy. Venomous word in England from the Liverpool striker.

Balo with Conte against Prandelli
“The ex-coach is not a real man. He doesn’t say things to your face.” And on the new coach: “It is right to call up those who score.”

“Beating the goalscoring record by Piola is my objective: I believe. After me the icon will be De Rossi. This team has a great spirit.”

  • From Liverpool

Balo against Prandelli: “He is not a real man.”

Now Bologna is American: “Serie A right away.”

  • Exclusive. Lippi without limits: Juve, Roma and…

“Tevez is worth Zizou.”
The ex-coach is close to his third title with Guangzhou: “For performance, Carlitos reminds me of Zidane. Juve helps everyone grow, even Allegri. For the Scudetto I only see the Bianconeri and Roma. I liked Pallotta’s behaviour.”

  • Silvio and Barbara: AC Milan moves.

The Berlusconi’s: on the hunt for money and players

  • Inter-Napoli: so many intersections.

Benitez crossroads for Mazzarri, high tension
