By Anna Italia

Good morning, buon giorno! I am still dancing the samba!

Just finished reading La Gazzetta dello Sport while drinking 2 cups of cappuccino, now it's time to check the front page from Il Corriere dello Sport. 

Today, I am seeing everything RED AND BLACK after the good news for Milan fans that Ronaldinho finally is an AC MILAN player.  I already apologized in advance in the other post if I am showing my Super joy for the signing of Ronaldinho but as a fan you can understand me.  Yet, I still will cover the rest of the news because soccer is my passion and like you I can't wait for the kick off of the Serie A.

Ok, so grab your coffee, water, cappucino and let's start reading the front page of Il Corriere dello Sport from today Wednesday, July 16, 2008  because it has many good news.

Top 3 news about Serie A Transfer Market and a survey.

Champions League Survey
-  The First one is about a survey done by Il Corriere dello Sport and readers voted that "JUVENTUS will win the Champions League."

I don't know if you agree or not, but since Milan is not in the Champions League my favorite to win are Juventus and Roma.  Though, I think Juventus has better chance than Roma for the top quality players "i campioni".  Yet, I am not ruling out Roma.    Inter, despite having Mourinho, I don't see that "winning international character of a team yet." What do you think?

FC INTER

- Second news is about the birth of Mourinho's Inter and Lampard. 

Inter is having their Pre-season training today at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti. First time Mourinho will see how he could work with his new team and choose his formation. 

NAPOLI

A surprise with Russotto.

AC MILAN Transfer Market

This is the main news of the front page.
It says, Officially Ronaldinho is a Milan player.

The quote from Ronaldinho "Milan I am bringing you goals and joy"

The whole story of the Ronaldinho - Milan saga as said in the paper they  have been after Ronnie since 2 years.

The front page also reports that the agreement with Barca was for 21 millions. They also mention that today there will be a big party at Milanello for Milan Pre-season training, il raduno.

Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti says that with Ronaldinho he has a magic Brazilian trio with Pato and Kaka too. You can see this in the big photo of Ronaldinho carrying the BRAZILIAN TRIO.  Oh boy, I am dancing the samba!  so happy for my Milan!!!

SAMPDORIA Transfer Market

Sampdoria admits that they are interested to sign Inter forward Hernan Crespo.  I think this will be a good move for Crespo because he is not having enough playing time in Inter and Mourinho is not that fond of Crespo. Just remember all their differences when he was in Chelsea under Mourinho.  With Sampdoria he might be a good striker along with Antonio Cassano since Montella transfered to Roma.

Reggina Transfer Market

The transfer with Bernardo Corradi is almost a done deal.   Aronica is going to Parma.

Palermo

Portuguese clubs are interested to sign Palermo striker Fabrizio Miccoli. Wow, it would be a big lost for Palermo.  If Miccoli decides to leave most likely he will go back to Benfica. Don't you think?

FIORENTINA

Rumors that Fiorentina is interested to sign Almiron and Burdisso.  Well, I am not sure about this transfer. 

LAZIO

Good news for Coach Delio Rossi who is discovering the good chemistry between Zarate-Carrizo.  I just hope Carrizo will really make it with Lazio not like poor Muslera who had a terrible season. 

AS ROMA

It seems the negotiations to sign Real Madrid Julio Baptista might become a reality soon.  Question is whether Baptista is he right man for Roma. What do you think?  Maybe a signing a younger player?

2008 Summer Olympics

Italy will broadcast the Olympics 19 hours a day!  Wow, they will be covering almost everything. 

=====

Personally, I like today's edition of Il Corriere dello Sport because it covers most of the teams and current transfer market. How about you?


Which news surprised you and why or which news were you expecting in the front page and why?

    Anna I agree with you, I also prefer Il Corriere because it covers other teams and not only Milan(not that I'm complaining lol)
    I don't see Burdisso going to Fiorentina or any other team for that matter. I think Mourinho will keep because he is one of the best defenders inter has.
    I don't think Roma need to sign Baptista either, he goes in and out of form in less than a week.

    I also think it would be a good move for Crespo to move to Samp to get more playing time.
    I hope that dinho's is able to keep his promise of goals and joy. It was indeed a big signing for Milan, let’s hope for the best.
    As always the news that I'm most excited about is the ones concerning the Azzurrini players, so I was particularly happy to see news about Andrea Russotto's move to Napoli. He has a lot of potential and I'm glad that he is no longer with Treviso in serie B.

    Nina and Anna i also agree and we should vote later to read this corriere first.

    Man, i love the photo of Ronaldinho and the 3 little Brazil.

    Man, burdisso that's one of Mark's guys LOL

    Nina, agree with Baptista not for Roma

    Nina, Anna what's wrong today that we are agreeing? LOL, Man, i think Crespo should not think twice about moving to Sampdoria, though Mark will not like it but the guy is not having enough chance in Inter the copy catters LOL

    Man, that Ronaldinho's promise I take it gladly we need goals and samba.

    The Azzurrini, LOL our future.

    Mark have your say.

    Anna also noticed like Mark your opening apologies that made me laugh because every fan should understand how one feels for our respective teams, still you try to cover everybody here which is why i love the blog.

    We have not talked about Manicni and his move to transfer which I found it wrong. man, the guy could have chosen another team!

      Pietro,I see you still upset about Mancini move to Inter.You know the funny thing though,he made an statement saying that Inter won the last 2 scudetti fair and square! You know how some of us feel about the ref issues,and specially after the statements made by his former teammates.De rossi has always said that the scudetto was handed to Inter by bad ref decisions,I wonder how he feel about Mancini's statements

        The more Mancini talks the less i am liking him, no, this man ruined the good things he did with Roma with this move and i am sorry Mark but that's the plain truth.

        Juventus winning the champs, i can agree to that because Roma lacks that determination and Inter still learning to be champions in the big scale. What's your take?

    I think Kenntak will disagree with me but Miccoli should move to another team and if Benfica opens the door he was doing super over there. What's your take on this?

    I agre also and Pietro my vote is to start siwth Corriere because is what we want a variety.

    Nina I will agree with you and Pietro on Crespo because I want to see him scoring being number one and in Inter he seems not finding space. Surprised with my response? But if you ask me Burdisso going to Roma that is a NO, a BIG NO.
    Why Juventus winning the Champions?

    INTER winning the Champs, that sound more likely.

      Mark I agree with you on the burdisso move being nearly impossible.The guy is one of the best defenders you guys have along with Maicon.I even have to admit that at times I was jealous of inter for having these two guys lol.
