Covering the 2008 Summer Olympics Game in Beijing  from an Italian Perspective


Count down for the Italian National Olympic team until they debut in the 2008 Summer Olympics Games in Beijing on Thursday, August 7 against Honduras in Qinhuangdao.

Good news is that the last preparatory match of the Azzurrini on Saturday, August 2 at the Northeastern University Stadium was a success!
Italian National Olympic 4 - 0 Hong Deng.

I am happy because not only Domenico Criscito made a doppietta but also Sebastian Giovinco and Robert Acquafresca scored.

The only bad note and that worries me is that striker Giuseppe Rossi failed to convert a penalty!  Come on, we need our strikers ready to score and also convert penalties.

Hong Deng is a team from the Second Division of the Cinese League.

So, in these last training days, my hope is for Coach Pierluigi Casiraghi to fix all minor problems and to deliver a winning formation and strategy.  I want midfielder Marchisio to be at his best for the Olympics.

Just wish for Acquafresca or Rossi to be the top scorers, though, our AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato playing for the Brazilian National Olympic team also wants to be the top scorer.


Coach Pierluigi Casiraghi

 Wow, guys, I am telling you, I can't wait for the debut of our Azzurrini and I am waving my Italian flag proudly.  How about you?

Hey, join me to do the "cheer leading dance" for our Azzurrini... believe me all positive energy will be helpful.
