Good morning my friends and happy Sunday! What a beautiful morning and I am feeling so energetic. How are you? Headlines giving priority to the latest scandal regarding the favorite candidate of the Italian Football Federation, Tavecchio, for a racist statement.
There is one headline making me say, really? hum? is precisely the declaration by AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati. Why? Oh well, here we go and you might disagree or agree. According to Abbiati, forward Mario Balotelli can be decisive like it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but only if Balotelli gives his maximum. Well, well, well, I totally disagree with Abbiati. There are no comparisons even if Balotelli gives his maximum. Ibrahimovic is unique and have proven in many years and with different teams (Juventus, Inter, AC Milan, PSG) to be “a decisive player” to win the league. Balotelli has not fully shine. True, I agree that Balotelli is a super talent, but that’s not enough to be a consistent crack like Ibrahimovic. In any case, Tutto Sport stating that Balotelli has one month to convince Inzaghi and AC Milan, or else!. Your take?
Ah.. hold on… continuing with my happy mood. I love the headline on Inter hypnotizing Real Madrid with goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo and forward Mauro Icardi! Yep! You bet I was doing my cheerleading for Carrizo! Inter playing in the International Champions Cup was the only Serie A team to win Real Madrid 1- 1 Inter Milan because AS Roma lost to Manchester United despite playing well Manchester United 3 – 2 AS Roma. Previously, AC Milan who lost “badly” to Olympiacos will play today against Manchester City and Balotelli expected to play against his ex team.
As for transfer market, according to Tutto Sport, there is still interest for Manchester United forward Javier Hernandez “Chicharito” to join Inter Milan… Will this work? Do you think Hernandez fits Inter’s playing style? It’s a fact that Inter need to sign a top forward considering they have listed only three for this season:
All 3 Argentinian forwards, Rodrigo Palacio, Mauro Emanuel Icardi and Rubén Botta who is more an attacking midfielder. Surely, Chicharito would have better chances to be in the regular lineup than at Man U warming up the bench, but I don’t see him at Icardi’s level… And you?
