Talking about AC Milan, the top headline saying "Champions, two emotional nights"

-  Kaka threatening Milan to defeat them.

-  Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara with the new Juventus against Maccabi Haifa....


Yesterday the headlines and news mainly about the wrongful decisions from Referee Roberto Rosetti and Referee Orsato.  Today, it is all about the Champions League.

Guys, the top headline "Inter in problems. With Dynamo only 2-2: Not winning from 8 games ago and must win in Kiev."

Almost everybody expected Inter to win in the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium against Dynamo Kiev being the protagonist the ex AC Milan forward Andriy Shevchenko returning to the Meazza to haunt Inter.  Sheva did not score but created danger and the super motivator for his teammates in believing they could win and defeat Inter.  Dynamo never backed down ending with a draw.

Inter had many chances to score and making many mistakes, especially defender Lucio not only scoring an own goal but definitely not his day..... Eto'o wasn not enough.  Forward David Suazo wasting his golden moment when he could deliver the winning goal in the agonizing 90 minute....

Inter now in the last position of Group F with 3 points.

Champions League Group F	Pld	Pts
Barcelona	3	4
Dynamo Kiev	3	4
Rubin Kazan	3	4
FC Internazionale	3	3

Barcelona losing in the Camp Nou.. that indeed is good news for Inter because keep chances open to qualify as there is only 1 point difference with the other 3 contenders.

The pleasant news was the great character from FIORENTINA winning an away game against DEBRECEN.  A festival of goals with Fiorentina scoring 4 and Debrecen 3.  A brace from Fiorentina forward Adrian Mutu and making an assist too.  Fiorentina with better chances to make it to the next round being right now in the second position with 6 points.

Champions League Group E	Pld	Pts
Olympique Lyon	3	9
Fiorentina	3	6
Liverpool	3	3
Debrecen	3	0

News also on the "Carrousel of Sacking Coaches..."  Yep!  Guys, two official announcements sacing Livorno coach Gennaro Ruotolo and Bologna Coach Giuseppe Papadopolo.  New coach from Livorno is Cosmi and for Bologna Franco Colomba to be presented today Wednesday.

Bologna coach Giuseppe Papadopulo replaced by coach Franco Colomba on Tuesday, October 20, 2009.

Third coach to be sacked on Tuesday, October 20, 2009 is AS Livorno coach Gennaro Ruotolo.

AS Roma President Rosella Sensi asking referees to respect them.  Enough to make wrongful decisions which are penalizing them.
