Week 29 - 2009 - 2010 ITALY SERIE A PREVIEW Twenty Ninth Round on Saturday, March 20 and Sunday, March 21, 2010 "Post your predictions now"

By Anna Italia

Hello, hello, hello!!!   What an interesting week!  Let me start the preview first by congratulating FC INTERNAZIONALE our only Italian Serie A club remaining the UEFA Champions League after defeating Chelsea from our beloved ex AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti.  Having said that, I am a bit late today because I am super exhausted after running in Santa Monica a 4.36 miles and woke up tired. Now, after having my recovery energizer breakfast and doing my after workout stretch, feel energized to finish this Preview and share with you guys my soccer passion for our Italy Serie A.  So, here we go....

This week, there might be a TURNING POINT in the Serie A. Yep!  So far, up to Week 28 Inter have been the sole leaders, but slowly have been losing the big gap with the second position narrowing down to just a mere ONE POINT difference. Yep!  You are reading right.  Inter have 59 points and AC Milan have 58 points.  It means, if Palermo defeat Inter and AC Milan defeat Napoli, the new leader would be AC MILAN.

Here is  my  PREVIEW of the Italian Serie A Week 29 - Twenty Ninth Round  scheduled on Saturday, March 20 and Sunday, March 21, 2010.

Inter fighting to keep the first position of the Serie A while Palermo fighting to keep the 4th position and continue the dream to be in the Champions League next season. 

Inter traveling to the Renzo Barbera Stadium with a boost to their morale after defeating Chelsea and qualifying to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. On paper, it looks Inter is the super favorite, but not for Palermo defender Simon Kjaer flatly declaring NOT AFRAID OF INTER.

The battle would be on who can deliver the goals.  Top scorer for Inter is forward Diego Milito with 16 goals and top scorer for Palermo is forward Fabrizio Miccoli with 10 goals.  Comparing goalkeepers, sure, we see a David against Goliath if thinking Inter is coming with top shot Brazil National football team goalkeeper Julio Cesar against Palermo goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu slowly gaining his first team position.

On the coach level Delio Rossi vs Mourinho, there have been only 2 times  and Mourinho taking the victory.  Rossi that time coaching Lazio and losing both games against Inter in the 2008-2009 season both with without Lazio scoring a single goal ( 0-3 and 0- 2)

Stats are definitely in favor of Mourinho over Palermo.  Question would be on whether 'the heart and willpower' from Palermo will be enough to stop Inter. With Mourinho, there has been 3 games, 2 victories for Inter and 1 draw plus Inter scoring 9 goals.  






Here is the disciplinary situation. One suspended player for PALERMO,
Carrozzieri. Four players with one yellow card:  Blasi, Bresciano, Goian, Balzaretti.  One suspended player for INTER, Muntari. One player with one yellow card: Eto'o.

Here is the probable formation for
PALERMO  (4-3-1-2) Sirigu, Cassani, Kjaer, Bovo, Balzaretti, Migliaccio, Liverani, Nocerino, Pastore, Miccoli, Cavani

Here is the probable formation for
INTER  (4-3-1-2) Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Santon, Zanetti, Stankovic, Cambiasso, Sneijder, Milito, Eto'o

AC Milan having their chance of their life !!!! Just one point away to be in the first position and you bet all AC Milan fans are rooting for Palermo to defeat Inter at the Renzo Barbera Stadium.

Napoli not living a good moment lately and will need to wake up and smell the coffee or continuing going down the tubes.  Imagine, Napoli ONCE were holding the 4th position and now down to the 8th position!  OUCH.

The mood in AC Milan is positive, their commitment and now moral support to dedicate the Scudetto to their teammate "Midfielder David Beckham"  ruled out for the rest of the season and missing to be in the 2010 World Cup after injuring his Achille's heel.

Top scorer for AC Milan is Alexandre Pato with 12 goals while for Napoli is midfielder Marek Hamsik with 9 goals.

Milan having the advantage of Assist man.. yep.. forward Ronaldinho becoming the assist man king.

Juventus facing many injuries including goalkeepers.  Gigi Buffon, Chimenti not sure to make it...  making matters worst for Juventus the elimination on Thursday, March 18 out of the Europa League after losing the match of the second leg against Fulham.  Total aggregate result Fulham 5 - 4 Juventus.  The morale of Juventus is low at this moment and either they go to the Ferraris Stadium with a different attitude or Sampdoria walk away with the victory.

This match is a battle for the 4th position right now hold by PALERMO with 46 points. This is what might happen guys.  If Inter defeat Palermo, the winner of this match takes the 4th position.  Yep!  So you bet Sampdoria and Juventus fans rather see Inter defeating Palermo at the Barbera.

Here is the disciplinary situation. No suspended players for SAMPDORIA. Four players with one yellow card: A. Cassano, Rossi, Lucchini, Mannini.  No suspended players for JUVENTUS. Three players with one yellow card:  Legrottaglie, Camoranesi, Diego.

Here is the probable formation for SAMPDORIA (4-4-2) Storari, Zauri, Gastaldello, Lucchini, Ziegler, Semioli, Palombo, Poli, Guberti, Pazzini, A. Cassano

Here is the probable formation for
JUVENTUS (4-3-1-2)  Chimenti, Zebina, Legrottaglie, Cannavaro, De Ceglie, Marchisio, Sissoko, Felipe Melo, Diego, Trezeguet, Del Piero

Problem was losing against Fulham in the second leg and eliminated in total aggreate results.  Fulham 5 - 4 Juventus.   A major slap for Juventus now battling only in the Serie A where they are in the

Although the match started with the right note seeing forward David Trezeguet opening the score in the 2nd minute, it ended with a calamity.  

In the 2nd minute, an assist by Hasan Salihamidzic finding Trezeguet blasting Fulham goalkeeper Schwarzer.


Adding the cherry on top of the ice cream it is Clint Dempsey in the 82nd minute scoring the 4th goal of the match.  Yep!  Just a headache when Dempsey blasting Juventus goalkeeper Clementi in the far corner.

Imagine, the nervousness from Juventus that in the 90th minute, stoppage time, Referee Kuipers sends off defender Jonathan Zebina for kicking Damien Duff in the back of the leg.

Although the party is still on today for Inter and Italian football after Inter qualifying for the UEFA Champions League Quarterfinals, it is time for Inter to concentrate again for the Serie A  Week 29 match against Palermo on Saturday, March 20, 2010 at the Renzo Barbera Stadium.

Well, I am still in party mood too and yesterday, here, in the Italian Soccer Serie A, most were rooting for Inter and pushing that bandwagon to win the match... and guess what? INTER WON. It was fun sharing with our Inter fans Mark and Vito Intermobiliare.   So, today, things go back to normal and each Italian football fan joining their respective teams to root for their favorite teams. 

Here is the thing guys, Palermo, surely respecting Inter for their well deserved victory against Chelsea, but also true that they are not afraid.  Palermo defender Simon Kjaer declaring on a press conference that "they are not afraid of Inter,"

Now, here is one of the opinions getting my full attention.... which one?  Oh well, let me tell you.... One of the greatest  Inter legends Striker Alessandro Altobelli thinks that Palermo can win this Saturday. Say what? hum? really?  Yep!  I was reading the news about Altobelli's declarations and was surprised.  Normally, I would have expected Altobelli to say the contrary.  Altobelli played for Inter from 1977 to 1988 making a total of 317 appearances and scoring 128 goals. 

                   

Ex Inter striker Alessandro Altobelli

According to  Altobelli, is not unthinkable that Palermo might defeat Inter.  "Catania beat them, Juventus beat them.. Sampdoria beat them, and Palermo can beat them too," said Altobelli, who is in Palermo  following a course from the Technical Center of Coverciano.

 On Tuesday, March 16, 2010, Altobelli talked at the "Tenente Onorato" di Boccadifalco about Inter.  Sure, first thing yesterday was for Inter to defeat Chelsea and as Altobelli said it was like the "match of the season."  So far, let's say Altobelli got one point because Inter did play a super match, especially Wesley Sneijder and, of course, striker Samuel Eto'o.    Ah wait.. hold your horses...  there is one last thing... Altobelli also clarifying that Inter also could win the match if their top players have a good match like Maicon, Sneijder, Milito, Eto'o, Stankovic and MARIO BALOTELLI!  Well, let's see if Mourinho will call up Balotelli.... "Balotelli is the extra player, the one who could change the match in any moment," said Altobelli.

So, do you think Altobelli will get the second part right too.... the unthinkable.... the unexplainable... Palermo defeating Inter at the Barbera?

Good news for AC Milan fans.  Alessandro Nesta has left Villa Stuart (Roma) today, Wednesday, March 17 and at midday he will return to Milan with the plane. While coming out, Nesta interviewed by Sky Sport 24, Sandro declared: "Before the operation we thought that it was difficult that I would return before the end of the season.

Nesta was asked also about chances for AC Milan having more chances to win the Scudetto with Inter being busy in two fronts with the Champions League and the Serie A.  Nesta saying that he hopes so. It's possible to see Nesta playing the last games this season not as originally thought that his season was over.

On Monday, March 15, Nesta underwent a surgical operation in Villa Stuart Clinic in Rome for his right knee by professor Pier Paolo Mariani in the presence of social doctor Massimo Manara. The preliminary exam evidenced a rupture to the external meniscus, which was regularized artroscopically.  Nesta will remain immobilized for two weeks with a post-operation tutor. At the end of this period a re-education course will begin and he will resume athletic activity in 30 days

Nesta was asked also about chances for AC Milan having more chances to win the Scudetto with Inter being busy in two fronts with the Champions League and the Serie A.  Nesta saying that he hopes so. Regarding the unexpected visit from Italy Head Coach Marcello Lippi, Nesta said that he was glad for the visit and that it was done as friendly gesture nothing to do about a return to the Nazionale.  About the Chelsea - Inter match? "It was a beautiful match."

The plan foresees a complete recovery in six months, after which he will be able to play again.

I am so touched to read also about David Beckham's own personal Thank You to the fans as reported in  AC Milan official website and David Beckham's personal official website.

MILAN - From Finland, David Beckham talked directly to Milan and its fans, speaking from his official website: "I want to thank all the Rossoneri with my heart.

It's party time all over!   Yep!  Inter taking an important step by breaking a barrier and passing to the Champions League Quarterfinals after defeating Chelsea  (0-1) and the aggregate  (1-3).


Results: UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg: CHELSEA 0 - 1 INTER Goal by Samuel Eto'o


Here are the declarations from FC Inter coach
José Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia of his delight at seeing Inter go through to the last eight of the Champions League. "I am the happiest coach in the world in this moment," he said. "It's a great moment for the team, a great moment for Inter, for all the players who year after year had problems overcoming this barrier of the last sixteen, and now they have done it. This is a qualification to the quarter-finals earned not with luck, but with merit, thanks to the team, which was perfect, and all the players who did a perfect job from start to finish."


When asked if Inter's two-legged victory over Chelsea marks a turning point for the Milan outfit, Mourinho responded: "We are talking about a game which sees Inter reach the quarter-finals, a stage at which they hadn't arrived for a few years. We twice beat Chelsea, who are a great team. We deserve this quarter-final."

On his team's performance at Stamford Bridge, the Portuguese added: "I said I knew this stadium, the atmosphere, the players and for this reason I always thought it would be impossible to draw 0-0 by playing defensively, so we played offensively. We were faster and more dynamic, and Eto'o's goal is the example of what we wanted to do and what we did do after going close in the first half."

Mourinho admitted: "I celebrated like never before, really like never before. It is a fantastic victory for my team, which is Inter, just like my fans are those of Inter. This victory is confirmation that Stamford Bridge is my home and that I always win here, with Chelsea or without Chelsea, like this evening."

Wow, wow, wow, guys, I must say that I am happily to know that finally Ancelotti and Mourinho shared a glass of wine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Cheers!!!!!

Mourinho also mentioned his relationship with Carlo Ancelotti: "With Carlo there have sometimes been a few words too many, but there's no relation between the respect and the few exchanges of words that there have been between us. He gave me some Italian wine today and I brought him the wine of my country. He invited me to his office after the game, there's a good relationship. I hope he wins the Premier League, I don't want to remain the only coach who has won it with Chelsea."

AC MILAN _ NAPOLI (before the match)
San Siro  Stadium
Serie A Standing:   AC Milan  2nd position, 58 points
                               Napoli  8th position 41 points


At the end of the press conference on Tuesday, March 16, 2010, Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri spoke about the group's morale following Saturday's defeat against Fiorentina:
Napoli 1 - 3 Fiorentina

Following the match against Fiorentina I saw some players who were sad for the defeat. What I will tell my players, as training resumes today, is that on Sunday's match against Milan we shall have to use that athletic anger."Walter Mazzarri then commented on the group: "We have created a soul to this group. I had never coached such a united group."

"The next games against Milan and Juve are very important, but Napoli must still obtain 10 more points."

Walter Mazzarri again on the possible recovery of the injured players: "We're recovering important players and we're in form. When a player returns from an injury I must still evaluate if his state of form is the same that he had before the injury." On the formation choices: "In choosing the formation to field, I always evaluate the conditions of the individual players, the team we face and I field the best possible formation."



I agree with Mazzarri that Napoli could be in a higher position. "We are missing 6 - 7 points. Points objectively deserved.  i am happy about the maturity from our fans. People have understood the spirit of this tea.  I emphasize that this is one of the most united group that I have ever trained," said Mazzarri.
