Italian League: News of the Weekend

Written by kkroz

At the last few days of the Italian players market. Mariga's transfer from Parma to Manchester City has been blocked. Inter had engaged the Parma midfielder. For Mariga it was only a matter of time. A very talented young player, he will surely be a good addition to the team's offensive line-up. Mancini goes to AC Milan an a temporary trade loan with 4 millioin on ownership to keep him. Biava goes to Lazio. Jorgensen comes back to Aarhus ini Denmark where he had been taken from Udinese in '97. Napoli goes up against Genoa in the auction for the Austrian Gucher. There has been a lot of changes in the last few hours of the winter market. Many players have changed their shirt colors. F.C. Inter is still in the race on Simplocio. The Brazilian midfielder is abounding with talent. It may be too late to engage him, turning 31 this year, though in Italy their is a proverb: "meglio tardi che mai" which means: "better late than never". The Genoa has tried to take Ledesma from Lazio, but the player does not seem to want the transfer. President Lotito has a lot of trouble dealing with his players in these few months. Pandev before and now Ledesma, but the president of Lazio is a tough guy. The Bologna, has no chance to engage Baronio, so it has tried to take Lori, a midfielder from Chievo. The d.s. of Napoli, Riccardo Bigon told Skysport 24: "Rullo to Vicenza? We need to reach an agreement between three parts, it's never easy. We needn't to sell Rullo after the departure of Contini. Aronica can scale in the line of the defenders and we have only Dossena on the left" . The d.s. added "Let's see how things go. Gucher? He is a good player that we have been following for a long time. He is 19 years old, but he has already shown his skills. Frosinone wants to get the most from its sale to us. It would be an investment, not a necessity, so we can wait." It's not time to spend money. These are the latest deal in the players' trade in Italy. Now the market is closed.

Some interviews in the last few days left a mark on the Italian soccer stage. Mourinho made a statement to "La Gazzetta dello sport: "We organize our work, players' training programs and schedules. We are sorry when someone comes from the moon and makes us change our programs with no reasons. Because they wanted an adjustment, they have made a mess with the first match and the return match in April. And the result : They lost against us and even with Udinese." These words were directed to A.C. Milan. Another statement had been made by Luciano Moggi, an unbelievable character of the Italian Soccer system in the past few years. He has been one of the most important figure of Juventus for many years. He told 'Studio Stadio': "In the summer of 2011 my suspension will end and I will return in the football system." I hope he does return as he is a disgrace for the Italian League, a real "mafioso", one of the worst character in the history of Italian soccer. From the decree of the sports justice on Luciano Moggi: "a 5-year suspension with the propose of radiation. The propose of radiation from the Italian soccer has not been formulated yet ". One of the worst black pages in the history of our soccer, the dark ages of Italian sports.

Ranieri: Roma takes Inter as model. The Roma coach said "The comebacks? You must believe in it." The Giallorossi have combined to share Milan at 41 points, but Ranieri will not stop: "After a traumatic start, we have found self-esteem and showed the true value of the team . We are a transformed team now. We are fighting to be at the top until the end of the championship" . On Okaka? "He'll come back stronger than before", The young talent leaves the team to improve his skills in a team where he can get more playing space.

ROMA, February 1, 2010 - Ranieri is still not satisfied with the performance. Roma has reached AC Milan (which has a race to recover) and has made it to second place, winning 2-1 against Siena. Ranieri said: "We are expecting two tough months. I want to see what can we do. We will try to keep this rhythm, we are improving our play step by step. " The adventure of Ranieri as Roma's coach has begun against Siena in the first round. Ranieri added: "The team has had a traumatic start in the championship, we had lost a bit of enthusiasm and self esteem. By changing the coach we have had to start all over again from the beginning. Now we are struggling." The league says the truth. No doubt, Roma is one of the best teams in the league."The Roma are specialized in victories at the last minutes." Okaka yesterday scored the sixth goal in the final minutes. Ranieri said: "When I arrived in Roma I told to the team to forget all hesitation during the game, I want to see you fight until the end." Few words full of meaning. "When a team is capable of a comeback, you should not talk about luck. The results come from the determination and conviction of the players." Yesterday, the team did a good game, despite the absences in attack. "We need to recover: Toni, Totti and Vucinic. Toni has already shown what he can do. He came here very motivated. I hope to quickly motivate the teamwork with Totti. Every player in this team wants to help. Let's see if Totti and Vucinic can rejoin the team in these days." When Roma completes its roster, maybe we will see a battle until the end: Inter, A.C.Milan and Roma will fight for the championship.
Juve-Lazio was the last match of the week-end. It was 1-1 in the end. The Bianconeri played a good game: holding the ball firmly but having a lot of difficulties to enter the penalty area. The Brazilian, Diego had another good night, he had played very well. Lazio closed every spaces but Its defensive team has not been good enough in defending against the onslaught of the attack. Muslera was always ready and alert. In the second half Juventus got a generous penalty, converted by Del Piero, a big opportunity for Javentus materialized with an unexpected call from the referee, but in the end Mauri got the deciding goal. Torino, 31 January 2010 - In these cases someone said "Zaccheroni will have to work hard". Because it is true, we have seen the commitment, and sometimes even a few flashes of good play. But Juventus is far away from a brilliant play. They need a solid foundation. If Juventus wants to come back to the top of the league, the path is long and difficult. Nobody expects that Zaccheroni in few days of work would change the scenario. Zac has not a lot of time to improve the situation, as the top positions in the grid are quickly being taken over. However, as the minutes passed in the last game, we saw a few improvements, some inspiration was largely thanks to Sissoko, Diego and Del Piero. The three players that Juve was waiting since the begin of the season. Lazio did not encounter difficulties containing the Bianconeri, and the first thrill came only near the half-time when Diego had tried a great shot from a distance, Muslera has rejected it. Sissoko and Diego found a good understanding in the middle of the field. For the rest, some raid by Zarate, lonely as usual and not much else to tell.
