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


     I am following Argentina - Serbia because there is one player from the Italian Serie A Napoli forward Ezequiel "El Pocho" Lavezzi  playing for Argentina.

           

           Argentina   2  -  0  Serbia 
                                        13' Ezequiel Lavezzi
                                        84'' Diego Buonanotte Rende

                 

                     Napoli Forward Ezequiel Lavezzi and Barcelona Forward Lionel Messi 

SITUATION:    Argentina already qualified for the Quarterfinals
                        For prestige and tradition, Argentina must defeat Serbia
                       
Argentina Coach Batista will rest Riquelme and Sergio El Kun Aguero.


"Riquelme and Aguero are two important players. This thing about the yellow cards is complicated and that's why, they will rest so they can play in the quarter-final," Argentina Coach.

How proud I feel to report that our Napoli forward Ezequiel Lavezzi scored for Argentina!  In the 13th minute, Lavezzi converted a penalty!!!  I cannot tell you enough how happy I feel not only for Lavezzi but also for our Italian Serie A because he is part of this big family.
