Good morning, buon giorno.

I woke up early with a happy smile feeling very optimistic. So, here I am sharing the front page news from the Italian newspaper "Il Corriere dello Sport" from Tuesday, December 1, 2009. Wow, BOOM! SO MANY NEWS making me ask for more coffee....

The first headline getting my attention was "TOTTI AND NESTA to the World Cup!

         

Say what?  hum? Am I missing something here?  Well, let me tell you that Juventus defender and Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro talked to Francesco Totti and Alessandro Nesta asking them to reconsider their retirement decision from the National team and give it a shot one more time for the 2010 World Cup.

Yep! You are reading right guys. Cannavaro insisting. Well, you know Totti and Nesta repetitively have denied any return to the National team as they both admitted not being that young anymore to cope with both activities between their clubs and the national team.

However, a latest change of attitude from TOTTI!!! Yep!  Well, well, well, Totti during his official website presentation declared that "if the Azzurri want him, he will make a decision between March and April together with Lipi."

If Totti is considering returning to the Nazionale, then, the competition will be even stronger for Antonio Cassano, Giampaolo Pazzini and all the rest looking for a spot and not to mention even the possible incorporation of Juventus forward Amauri who is only waiting for his Italian passport.

Will it be fair to leave out players who fought the qualification period ????

AC MILAN..... Chelsea...

Second headline to grab my attention is the one about Chelsea forward Didier Drogba declaring "Nobody better than Ancelotti"  Wow, that really made my day!!!  Are you kidding me...hello, I miss father Ancelotti so much!!!!!  Ancelotti contrary to many coaches struggling when they go to a different league or team, is rocking big time in the EPL.

Chelsea is commanding the EPL with 36 points so far and followed by Manchester United with 31 points. In the Champions League Ancelotti leading Chelsea in the first position of Group D with 13 points followed by Porto with 9 points.  BERLUSCONI MUST BE WONDERING WHY DID I NOT KEEP HIM???  LOL.

Oh well, guys, my Milanista heart is just rocking this morning with Drogba's declarations and I certainly agree... Ancelotti the best just as Sir Alex Fergusson.. two big point of references....

Still talking about Milan and we have the declarations from AC Milan forward Klaas Jan Huntelaar believing Milan can win the Scudetto. Oh my gosh, it's rocking time....  the battle won't be easy because Inter up to Week 14 has 35 points while Milan has 28 points, a 7 point difference.  However, if next week in the Derby D'Italia between Juventus - Inter, Juve beats Inter, then.... wow, wow, wow... assuming Milan defeats Sampdoria, then, the difference will be 4 points and we will be talking about a fierce race for the Scudetto....


JUVENTUS

Oh well, all the rumors about Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara being sacked.. are just rumors.  Here in the front page, Blanc giving his vote of confidence to Ferrara saying that "Ferrara will be our coach even after the games of Inter and Bayern. Blanc asking the support   from the fans to support the team and Ciro.

CAGLIARI

It's rocking time for Cagliari too!  Brazilian forward Nene won't stop anymore.  It means that Nene has scored up to Week 14 six goals!!!!   Cagliari is in the 7th position with 22 points and they believe they can reach at least the Europa League next season...

NAPOLI

Mamma mia.... here we go with the topic of referees.   "Napoli protest at refereeing decisions."  Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentis already had enough about being penalized by wrongful referee decisions against Napoli and say enough is enough.   Referee designation at this point is becoming a crucial issue because there are those good referees and those who are considered by many clubs as unfair or biased.... oh well.... 

FC INTERNAZIONALE.

The headline on "Balotelli divides Mourinho and Moratti" Wow, guys, now we have a big problem in Casa Inter.  The big boss Massimo Moratti seems to take side in favor of Balotelli and asks Mourinho to clear any differences with Balotelli...  Moratti ruling out that Balotelli will leave Inter.

My personal opinion, guys, Balotelli lately is a player causing controversies not only with fans, but arriving late to training and not giving his best .. hello, no wonder why Mourinho is not putting up with all these Balotelli stuff.....  I understand Mourinho saying that if he has kept in the bench two world cup players like Materazzi and Vieira why  not Balotelli who has not won anything yet.
