Hello my friends.  Happy Friday and let’s share a strong cup of coffee to check the Italian newspapers front pages.    Surely, not a good morning for Inter and Napoli.  Inter dealing chaos after Massimo Moratti leaves Inter and reportedly also iconic captain Javier Zanetti seeming to leave the  Club.   Fans  whistling  the team after the 0-0 draw against Saint Etienne in San Siro.  It seems President Eric Thohir will need a miracle to calm the torment.   Is Thohir a lonely president abandoned by  Inter key figures?

Oh well,   I am happier today compared to   previous days seeing Juventus and  Roma losing in Champions League.  Headlines today are sweet and sour.   Out of the 4 Serie A teams in Europa League, 2 won,  1 draw, and 1 lost.

  • Clamorous why the symbolic man leaves Inter

The slap of Moratti
All the details of the break up with Thohir
Offended for the controversies over the accounts and snubbed by Mazzarri, the honourary president leaves by slamming the door. His son Angelomario, who was vice president, follows him. The Indonesian: “I respect the decision. The relationship between the families will not change.”
And now Zanetti is thinking of leaving.
Jeers at the San Siro for the 0-0 against Saint Etienne

  • The others of Europa League. Fiorentina strike in Thessaloniki. Toro defeat Helsinki and Amauri also scores.

Napoli in trouble: beaten and attacked
After the 2-0 in Bern, 500 Azzurri Ultras assault the pullman with bars: windows broken, but no players hurt.

  • The interview

Weah fights in Africa: “Don’t leave us alone and we will defeat Ebola.”
The ex-Ballon d’Or winner: “We must overcome the fear, it is wrong to close our borders. AC Milan and PSG are with me, I will return to politics.”

  • India, the new world of Del Piero: cows, bazaars and hunger for football

Travel into the reality of the ex-Juve player who is a star of the Delhi Dynamos, where the smog hides the sky.

  • Juve, agreement unti 2019

Pogba, we are there the signature is close. Pirlo enigma

  • Roma, I will score the 1st goal in A

Here is Gervinho, the Samp amulet. Idea Pasqual

  • Investigation, ko of Juve and Roma

Small and fragile, Champions League flop. All the reasons why

  • The case

Liverpool anger: “Balo must ask for forgiveness.”
The exchange of jerseys with Pepe did not go down. Inquest by the police on Mario for verbal threat to a girl.

  • Napoli ko: contested

Fans against the squad
In Bern (0-2): the pullman of the Azzurri is circled and hit: it is chaos.
Fiorentina and Toro, double victory.

  • Moratti, goodbye and venom

Inter shock: the ex-owner leaves as honorary president, his son Angelomario and Ghelfi also leave.
Decisive the critics of the previous balances by Bolingbroke and the assembly in favor of Mazzarri.
“I am leaving, I can’t do it anymore.”
Draw with Saint Etienne, no goals and a lot of jeers.

  • A good news after the defeat of Athens

Pogba signs: €4.5 million a season
Agreement with Juve, contract of gold until 2019 for the Frenchman. Pirlo case: Allegri’s fault?

  • Two Italians protagonists abroad

Cerci: “Let me play.” Donati: “A goal for Conte.”

  • Inter, what a chaos

Moratti leaves, the squad is stopped by Saint Etienne. Napoli beaten in Switzerland and contested by the fans. Fiorentina ok.

  • Agnelli anger on Juve

The defeat in Athens did not go down well for the Bianconero president. Qualifying for the round of 16 of the Champions League is also key for the balance. It is up to Allegri to turn around the wheel: “It was also my fault.”
Chiellini does not look for excuses: “We must reflect, but it does not end here.”
Buffon: “We must now lift up our heads again.”
Pogba, we are there: he signs until 2019.

  • Helsinki dominated

Toro commands in Europa
