Hello my friends. It’s Tuesday morning. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Tuesday 17 March 2015. How are you?
What a day! Surely not a good day for AS Roma and AC Milan fans. Headlines today reporting their lost. Let’s start with the headlines about AC Milan having a bigger space in La Gazzetta than the defeat of Roma. I totally agree on Milan wasting this golden chance when they were winning 0 -1 with the opening goal by Mattia Destro. Then? PUFF!!! Fiorentina making a comeback not only to equalize, but to win the game!!!! So, your take? Should Inzaghi be sacked?
The headline on Roma, oh my gosh.. Coach Rudi Garcia and players are just humiliated by Sampdoria. Losing the home game at the Olimpico is devastating also because Roma are now -14 behind Juventus. Come on, hello, it’s practically “Good Bye Scudetto.” I understand the disappointment of the fans who not only whistled, booed, but also contested the team at the end of the game. A living nightmare.
Loving the headline on “BUDES JUVE” Yep, Juventus are now preparing for the Second Leg of the Champions Leage in Dortmund, it’s a win or out of Champions League….. Come on Juve!
Another prominent headline is about Brazilian “Felipe the Great” Two of his goals enough to defeat Torino. Lazio now even dreaming to reach the second position.. wow, can that happen?

=============== Italian Serie A Tickets for next 10 games
Hello my friends. Here are the Serie A RESULTS for Week 27 on Saturday 14, Sunday 15, and Monday 16 March 2015. How are you? You bet Juventus fans must be already envisioning the Scudetto. Yep. Juventus consolidating their leadership after defeating Palermo at the Renzo Barbera Stadium reaching now 64 points!!! Juventus with a +14 points advantage ahead of Roma having 50 points. There are only 11 more games.. Roma falling at the Olimpico Stadium defeated by Sampdoria. It’s just a sentence written on the wall for Roma “Good bye hope for the Scudetto.”
Cagliari coach Zdenek Zeman making is re-debut with a draw against Empoli. A crazy match because Cagliari had the victory, but as the saying goes, the game is not over until the referee whistles the end of the match. Yep, Empoli equalized in the 93rd minute with the goal by Matias Vecino crushing Zeman’s hope to grab the victory.
Sassuolo coach Eusebio Di Francesco celebrating his 100th game with Sassuolo with a victory. Sassuolo defeating Parma with a mega poker 4-1! Total crisis for Parma and their dream to remain in Serie A next season vanishing.
The top scorer up to Round 25: Juventus forward Carlos Tevez and Inter forward Mauro Icardi with 15 goals each.

Sassuolo with a super victory defeating Parma with a poker 4-1. Sassuolo crushed an already dying Parma remaining in the 20th position and their hope for salvation almost gone. Parma playing with 10 players since the 60th minute after Referee Cevellera sent off goalkeeper Antonio Mirante with a direct red card.
Problems for Parma and most likely a sacking in the near future?
It’s a great victory for Sassuolo and celebration for Coach Eusebio Di Francesco directing his 100th game as Sassuolo coach.

Hello my friends. It’s Sunday morning. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Sunday 15 March 2015. How are you?
Main headline today is about Juventus victory defeating Palermo at the Renzo Barbera Stadium with a 1 -0. The goal by Alvaro Morata and the message clear to Borussia Dortmund that they are ready for their Champions League Round of 16 game.
I like the headline on the return of Cagliari coach Zdenek Zeman making a crazy debut .. the game ended 1-1 after Empoli equalized in the 93rd minute with Matias Vecino !!!!
