MATCH TOUR
“Catania” - “Chievo”. Now it’s probably hard to believe that in late January, “Catania” took the 4th place. Since then, the wards of Pasquale Marino have played 17 matches in which they only once celebrated the victory. Now it is vitally important - in the event of a loss or a draw, the Sicilians are likely to become third superfluous and fall into the abyss of Serie B. The advantage of their field should not deceive, because the punished Ethnians still accept opponents in foreign territory. True, recently - with the audience. Chievo, which also did not guarantee residence in the elite, will arrange a world war in Bologna.
UNEXPECTED INTrigue
Ascoli is Cagliari. The ordinary meeting of clubs that seem to be “not needing anything” is interesting in its own way. The manager of Cagliari, Marco Giampaolo, worked unsuccessfully at Ascoli last season, providing him with a comfortable finish in a dozen of the strongest. Meanwhile, the most experienced mentor of the Markeyans, Nedo Sonetti, worked in the 2005/06 championship with the islanders and also kept them in the orbit of the calcho. Alas, now the 66-year-old specialist has not solved the problem, and the team advocated by Russian Viktor Budyansky closes the table. Although the “Ascoli” (on condition of winning the “Cagliari” and the failure of the “Messina” in Rome) will miss the last place.
DO NOT LOSE FROM THE VIEW
Apparently, in the summer, Fiorentina will be left by her scorer Luca Toni, but at least now he is ready to replace Giampaolo Pazzini . This is what happens in recent matches. Tony is injured, and the field goes 22-year-old Pazzini, who scored in each of the two previous weekends. Giampaolo is rightfully considered one of the most talented representatives of the mid-80s generation. In 2005, leaving behind two other nominees (Obafemi Martins and Mirko Vucinich) he was named the best young football player of series A. In recent years, Alberto Gilardino (2004) and Daniele De Rossi (2006), received a little more than 10 months ago become world champions. It seems that soon Pazzini will join the ranks of “Azzurra Squadra.” In the meantime, he is the main figure in the Italian youth team.
IMPORTANT WORDS
“Ahead of the match of the year, so you need to be collected, decisive and show your best football. We need only victory. I hope Milan will be tired after the Champions League final and probably not as motivated as we are. Of course, the team will be greatly missed by Alessandro Lucarelli and Pasquale Foggia, but, I believe, thanks to cohesion and dedication, we will compensate for the losses, ”Regina defender Salvatore Aronica sets up for a fateful duel with the European club champion.
BEAUTIFUL NUMBERS
Having marked a double in the game of the 36th round with Cagliari, Roma captain Francesco Totti rounded the number of goals scored in the Jallorossi team to two hundred . This season, 30-year-old Roman has 30 goals, 24 of them in the framework of Serie A. Francesco can still really win the Golden Boot of the best scorer of European championships. Totti has 48 credits, and the leader of the race Afonso Alves from “Heerenveen” - 51. If Cesco upset Messina twice, he will be one point ahead of the Brazilian. That, by the way, is no longer able to replenish luggage. However, do not discount the striker of Real Madrid Rud van Nistelrooy. He has 46 points and three matches in reserve.
