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.

Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 22, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 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.
It’s an exciting round because what it seemed few weeks ago that the Scudetto was all for Juventus, now the race is alive. Yep. Juventus had an 8-point gap ahead of AS Roma, but now it is shortened to 6 points. Last week, Juventus failing to win their 13 consecutive
game by getting a draw with Lazio while Roma defeated Hellas Verona to claim the full 3 points.
Surely, the match not to miss is the DERBY d’ITALIA between Juventus – Inter!! Yep. Imagine the battle and pressure for Juventus not to lose or draw the game. Juventus cannot allow to lose the game and risk shortening the gap to 3 points with Roma in case of Inter winning the Derby! It’s the first Derby d’Italia in Serie A for president Erik Thohir…… Conte vs Mazzarri….. who will have the winner lineup? Point is that Inter also under pressure because a defeat might bring them down from the 5th to the 8th position depending on the result of Torino, Parma, and Hellas Verona! Bad thing for Juventus having goalkeeper Gigi Buffon suspended for this game.
As for news this week is the debut of Sassuolo coach Alberto Malesani who replaced coach Eusebio Di Francesco. Good news is for AS Roma, Fiorentina, Udinese and Napoli with motivation after qualifying to the Coppa Italia Semifinal. We might see a revamp from these teams also battling in top positions in Serie A, especially Roma.
Bologna coach Davide Ballardini is suspended this week. We will see vice coach Carlo Regno to lead the game against Udinese.
Challenge will be for the “relegation group” including Sassuolo, Livorno, and Catania. Pressure is for Catania in urgent need to start winning or really risk relegation. Catania in the last position have only 14 points, a gap of 42 points behind Juventus!!!
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 56 points and a
positive goal difference of +36. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 50
points with a positive goal difference of +34. Napoli in the 3rd
position with 44 points and a positive goal difference of +21.
The Europa League zone. Fiorentina
in the 4th position with 41 points and a positive goal difference of
+17. Inter in the 5th position with 33 points and a positive goal
difference of +14.

points and a negative goal difference of -24. Livorno in the 19th
position with 16 points and a negative goal difference of -18. Catania
in the 20th position with 14 points and a negative goal difference of
-24.
Up to Round 21, Week 21 most scored goals in favor: Juventus scoring 51 goals

Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A ROUNDUP for
the
Serie A Week 21, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26
January 2014, matchday 21.
There is a small stop for Juventus failing to win their 13 consecutive game. Lazio causing the surprise to open the score while Referee Massa gives a red card to Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon in the 24th minute for a foul on Lazio forward Miroslav Klose. Lazio 1 – 1 Juventus. It’s the second draw for Juventus this season in away games. Nevertheless, Juventus confirming their dominion as sole leaders of the Serie A with
56 points.
AS Roma keeping the race for the Scudetto alive by defeating Hellas Verona at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium. Roma shortening the gap with Juventus from 8 points to 6 points.
Another blow is for Napoli unable to win the home game against Chievo Verona at the San Paolo Stadium. Napoli seeing their chances for the Scudetto almost “gone.” This is the 3rd draw this season at the San Paolo Stadium. Napoli now risk to lose the third place if continuing with draws or losing…..
An upset is for Inter unable to defeat Catania at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium being Catania the last of the Standing. Inter fans whistling the players while President Eric Thohir and Massimo Moratti watching the game from the Tribune. Catania grabbing their first point in an away game this season while Inter not winning a game in 2014.
AC Milan making a comeback to win the match. Cagliari taking the lead with Marco Sau and Milan taking away the full 3 points after the equalizer goal by Mario Balotelli and the winner goal by forward Giampaolo Pazzini scoring his first goal this season. Cagliari 1 – 2 AC Milan
A magic moment for Firoentina midfielder Alberto Aquilani scoring 3 goals against Genoa! The fans saluting him with a loud applause when he was substituted in the 74th minute with Anderson.
Parma scoring only 1 goal by forward Amauri claiming the full 3 points. It’s a needed victory while Udinese suffering their 4 consecutive loss. Not a good moment and coach Francesco Guidolin risking being sacked if results continue like this.
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 56 points and a
positive goal difference of +36. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 50 points with a positive goal difference of +34. Napoli in the 3rd
position with 44 points and a positive goal difference of +21.
The Europa League zone. Fiorentina in the 4th position with 41 points and a positive goal difference of +17. Inter in the 5th position with 33 points and a positive goal difference of +14.
