Hello my friends. It’s Tuesday morning full of hope for the Italian National team. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Tuesday 24 March 2015.
How are you my friends? Well, I am doing fine. I am in total shock with the headline about Inter coach Roberto Mancini not happy with the called up of Sampdoria forward Citadin Eder and Palermo midfielder Franco Vazquez because they are not Italian born. BAM! Wow! Are you kidding me? Wait, there is more… same headline seeing former Italy Head Coach Marcello Lippi saying that he won the World Cup with a non-Italian born player but naturalized: Argentinian born Mauro Camoranesi. Now, here I come, my thoughts? Let me tell you, I like Camoranesi and I am so thankful with his performance during his years with the Italian National team.
Talking about transfer market, headline on the deal of Sassuolo forward Simone Zaza with Juventus reportedly is a done deal. Zaza is even looking for a house in Turin.
Bam! A headline really leaving me speechless is about AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi. Yep, get this one, when Berlusconi was asked about Milan, he just replied “let’s talk about more important things”….. Oh well, your thoughts?

Hello my friends. It’s a sweet and sour Friday morning. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Friday 20 March 2015. I am so sad to see only 2 of our 5 Serie A teams passing to the Europa League Quarterfinals: Napoli and Fiorentina. The 3 eliminated are AS Roma, Torino, and Inter. How are you?
Oh my gosh… headlines for the defeat of AS Roma at the Olimpico are just on target. Surely, you bet I agree it was a total disaster. Are you kidding me? Fiorentina totally dominated the Roman gladiators and deservedly passing to the Europa League Quarterfinals. Is it the time to say good bye coach Rudi Garcia? Your take?
I must tell you that it is also crisis for Inter losing at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium and eliminated by Wolfsburg. The game ending with a 1-2. Do I agree with the headline that it was a big flop? Oh yeah, totally, I agree. Actually, I expected more from this game, but Inter could not revert the result. Fans even whistling, booing the team after the game. Hum? Really? yep!
Now, here is a headline I agree. Hello, despite Torino winning the game 1 – 0 against Zenit Saint Petersburg, it was not enough. Torino eliminated, but with heads high.
Talking about Juventus, oh gosh, I am so sad with the headlines that midfielder Paul Pogba will be out at least for 2 months after injury.

Hello my friends. It’s Wednesday morning and Champions League day for Juventus. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Wednesday 18 March 2015. How are you?
I hope you are having a great day. I am getting ready to watch and support Juventus in the Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund. Headlines today are encouraging Juventus to win this game to pass to the next round. Surely, I agree this is the turning point for Juventus to shine not only in the Serie A, but also in the Champions. Coach Massimiliano Allegri putting his hope on midfielder Paul Pogba and you bet on forward Carlos Tevez too.
Talking about tension, oh my gosh, the headlines on the future of AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi seeming more like “to be out” than “to be in.” Yep, reportedly, if Milan lose against Cagliari, than, hello… you better be ready to help Inzaghi pack his suitcase…. Let’s put it this way, do you think Inzaghi should still remain even if losing? A similar headline is for Roma coach Rudi Garcia … future depending on qualification to the next round of the Europa League? Oh well…. Roma will have to defeat Fiorentina….
