There’s lit­tle to write about regard­ing the scud­etto race of the Serie A now. A com­mand­ing 3–0 win by AC Milan over Inter has seem­ingly decided that this sea­son we will have a new cham­pion. The scud­etto is now for Milan to lose, and after the solid dis­play the rossoneri put on for the San […]

by Rami Soufi on March 22, 2011 · 0 comments

Milan remain on top of Serie A yet their hold has become more ten­u­ous than ever with city rivals Inter lurk­ing just two points behind. The Rossoneri have some of the league’s most tal­ented indi­vid­u­als such as Robinho, Zla­tan Ibrahi­movic and Anto­nio Cas­sano, but along with that tal­ents comes a lot of bag­gage and unpredictability.

Udinese Have No Fear Under Guidolin

by Niccolo Conte on January 23, 2011 · 0 comments

When Francesco Guidolin left Parma to man­age Udi­nese, I was dis­ap­pointed. Guidolin had united a set of strong indi­vid­u­als, man­ag­ing Parma all the way up to eighth in the table last sea­son. Udi­nese fin­ished 15th this past sea­son, yet Guidolin saw some­thing in the club and decided to join them. After a dis­ap­point­ing start of four […]

Five Things To Note From Serie A This Weekend

by Niccolo Conte on January 10, 2011 · 6 comments

It had been a long time that the Serie A wasn’t as inter­est­ing as it is now. The vac­uum left by Inter’s down­fall  was filled with a tem­pes­tu­ous AC Milan which is now begin­ning to slow down. Along with AC Milan, Juven­tus have also begun to lose their knack of outscor­ing their oppo­nents, espe­cially notice­able in their 3–0 loss to […]

by Niccolo Conte on January 7, 2011 · 0 comments

Dur­ing the win­ter break Serie A fans got to con­tem­plate many things. How will Cas­sano do at AC Milan? What new sign­ings will we see in the Jan­u­ary trans­fer win­dow? And how will Leonardo do at Inter Milan? The last ques­tion seems to be a lit­tle clearer after Leonardo made his debut on Inter Milan’s […]

2011: A New Start For Italian Football

by Niccolo Conte on December 31, 2010 · 3 comments

2010 was a bad year for Ital­ian foot­ball. I tried to think of the pos­i­tives, but very few came to mind. A dis­as­trous World Cup in South Africa, a bad show­ing in the Europa League, and only a Cham­pi­ons League vic­tory (guided by a Por­tuguese mas­ter­mind) which retains some dig­nity for Ital­ian foot­ball. While 2010 […]

What Next For Milan?

by Rami Soufi on May 16, 2010 · 0 comments

Milan defeated fallen giants Juven­tus 3–0 in a match with no con­se­quence to the Serie A title race yet it served as the proper farewell for coach Leonardo who man­aged to do well despite the lack of depth in the squad and the lim­ited resources. The Rossoneri only spent on Klaas-Jan Hunte­laar who turned out […]
