Re: Serie A Thread
Well it seems Palermo is not having the best of seasons, or at least one of their fans isn't happy.
You were talking about Bellini lo zio...as i seldom have the chance to watch Italian football, i only know Bellini from his virtual self i.e. PES and Football Manager...if both Konami and SI "captured" him correctly, he is a great player...
it's not just one fan, mate. everybody shares my worries here
talking about bellini, i'd say "great" is a bit too much for him. he's a good player, maybe a very good player. it's pretty hard to find sidebacks good in both duties, covering and pushing; well' he's one of those few. he's not excellent, but he's pretty good in everything. great stamina (runs for the whole match), strong personality, pushes along the entire sideline (that's why his coaches also used him as a side midfielder). he's not one of those fools who always try to push; he always looks at the defensive line up, before moving towards, to avoid leaving his teammates in troubles.
there are better sidebacks than him in italy, but he's still a good player. another big factor is his consistency (wich perhaps makes him a "more than good player").
moreover he already played for colantuono (atalanta) so he wouldn't have any adapting problems (and i guess that's why colantuono asked for him).
i can smell corruption here. At least now i know, why Napoli president didn't want any cameras to the pitch
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
u do realise u just wrote the funniest and most ridiculous post of the entire thread, do u?
i mean, how can u expect people to take u seriously after writing this?! :lmao:
especially considering you yourself are admitting you don't even know Bergonzi (how is it possible anyway.... is this the first season u follow serie a? Coz EVERYBODY in italy knows that fool).
and the funniest thing is that u're pointing the finger... against who? de laurentis???:lmao: the same de laurentis who kicked out of napoli's board all those ferlaino's "protegè" as soon as he bought napoli??':mrgreen:
the same de laurentis who has been fighting against fifa and federcalcio for the last 3 years to introduce the "moviola in campo"??? (for non italians people: moviola in campo is "giving to the ref the possibility to watch the instant replay to help them taking the right decision) :lol::lol::lol:
even yesterday he said it in the post-match interview. he admitted both the penalties were undeserved (fair play) and then said "
that's not a mine problem, that's a federation problem. as long as they will fight against the "moviola in campo", we will see this kind of mistakes every week"
i'm not a big fan of the moviola in campo...... neither i'm a big fan of de laurentis..... but accusing him of corruption.... is so fucking funny :lol:
one little advice, mate. next time, before to post, take a minute to relax, to regain your coolness....
..... and most of all, the next time u'll
smell corruption, use your brain rather than your nose :lol:

talking about more serious things, the match was great to watch, the crowd was just amazing.. i have to admit i forgot what the san paolo stadium was about. Yesterday Caressa (italian tv commentator) had to scream for the whole math because the crowd covered his voice :shock: Did the english tv talk about the earthquakes??? damn it i really missed them!
talking about football, the match was very very intense (afterall, it was a napoli-juve) wich means that it was really a pleasure to watch, even if the quality of the football showed by both sides wasn't really great (wich is pretty normal when two huge rivals face each others... too much tension to play your best football).
Napoli played some good football actually, but a little under their usual standards (we have to give credit to juve for this).
napoli's midfield dominated for the whole match; gargano was a giant; garics ran like a mad for the whole match.... he was just everywhere; Blasi was absolutely perfect, he didn't miss a tacke; Lavezzi was just unbelievable, he was a pain in the ass for juve defense for 90 minutes (this guy is reallly becoming a crack!).
juve instead has not a midfield.... brazo's performance was quite embarassing. palladino was sweet but he wasn't really an advanced midfielder.... he looked more like a wing. almiron had another horrible performance.... there was just nocerino fighting against the entire napoli's midfield... glorious!
both defences were awesome! no surprise, talking about napoli's defence, as they have been doing always great so far this season.... but trez, del piero and palladino are a great test for every defense, so credit to them (even if we have to say they were also lucky when trezegol hit the bar).
juve defence too made huge steps foward.... since andrade got injured and criscito lost his starter spot in the defensive line, ranieri was able to calibrate juve's defensive line.
What a great surprise le grottaglie has been!!!! :shock:
thye only bad news about the match was bergonzi and those idiot of his linesmen (i can't remember their names now, but they're the same of 2 weeks ago). too bad such a beautiful game ruined by 2 ridiculous decisions.... and so that's the 5th consecutive match messed up by bergonzi.... lazio, parma and reggina (last season), genoa and juventus (this season).
but afterall that's the price we have to pay for "cleaning up" our referee association, getting rid of those bastards of moggi's protegè..... now we have a new generation of (too) young and unexperienced referees, who should have spent still a couple of years in serie c\d.....
what can i say, he's awful.... but better an awful ref than a corrupted ref (he took de sanctis place)... at least he can grow and improve himself...... let's just hope he will improve a lot before refereeing a palermo match!!!! :mrgreen::lol:
EDIT:
Besides, juventus' past does in no way justify these scandalous refereeing mistakes.
That's true mate.... but refereeing mistakes MUSTN'T BE JUSTIFIED... just because they're mistakes. a mistake is a mistake; it's unavoidable, it's a human fact; u can't expect a player to do everything right for 90 minutes, for every match of the season... it would be impossible.
and the same goes for the referees. we have some good referees, who make less mistakes, and some worse referees who makes more mistakes...... and then we have bergonzi, who just can't avoid to make a mistakes every time he puts the whistle in his mouth.
but
that's part of the game mate, and we have to accept it... (exactly as we accepted brazo's mistake when gargano scored).
otherwise we can push for the "moviola in campo"..... but as i said before, i'm not a big fan of it

oups, my bad Don
