Good morning my friends! I hope you are having a good day and ready for the Serie A games. Headlines today are a bit tense…. BAM! Imagine, I don’t even know what to think about the declarations of forward Mario Balotelli criticizing ex Italian Head Coach Cesare Prandelli calling him “not a real man.” According to Balotelli, Prandelli does not tell you things to your face… oh well…. Is it right for Balotelli to take this position?
A headline making me happy is the one about the good moment of Torino forward Fabio Quagliarella! I agree with Pulici and look forward to see Qua Qua Qua Quagliarella rocking and scoring more goals.
As for AC Milan headlines… oh well, we are still dealing with the ongoing rebuilding “wishful thinking” to see them back to the top. Silvio and Barbara Berlusconi looking for ways to achieve their goal. For the moment, the hope is forward Fernando Torres to become the inspirational motor…. by the way, Torres seeing Super Pippo Inzaghi as a model.
