Good morning my friends. How are you? Ready for work or school? Another day off, World Cup games will resume on Friday 4 July with the quarterfinals!! Serie A market going wild and now even AC Milan reportedly saying that forward Mario Balotelli is for sale…and not just at any price, but for €30 million.
I love the headlines on how to restart to improve Italian football. Come on guys, it’s just unacceptable to see Italian football doing so bad… plus the outburst from Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentis sending everybody home… Hum? do you agree with De Laurentis suggestion of having Serie A reduced from 20 to 16 teams?
Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Thursday 3 July 2014
