In Sunday night match, Giallorossi won again. At Olimpico Stadium, after 25 minutes Florenzi, Gervinho and Benatia annihilated Bologna ( 5-0 the final result) . Francesco Totti still celebrates his 37th birthday at the top of the table. Statistics say Rome is an invincible fleet (17 Gf, 1 Ga). 18 points, six wins from six. Rudi Garcia planned a well-balanced team. His system of play remembers Zeman's one, but only on paper. His impure 4-3-3 has an impenetrable defense, a powerful midfield and a crackling attack. Next match, Rome will visit Inter at San Siro Stadium. Exams never end. Dino Viola, A. S. Roma's President of second scudetto (1982-1983), usually said: " In Italy, if you win a Scudetto, supporters are never content. They want to win the following season, too. Th...

Napoli beats a bad Milan at San Siro after 27 years. Roma wins the Derby against Lazio. Inter, Juventus and Fiorentina share second position The story of this fourth round starts from these frames. While Milan's striker Mario Balotelli is bare-chested and Luca Banti issues him the red card , Napoli's supporters are exulting. The match finished just a second ago. Azzurri - after beating Borussia Dortmund in Champions League - storm San Siro after 27 years (1-2, Britos, Higuaín) and can still and again share the top of the table with Roma. Milan loses the second match of the season. Allegri is afflicted. A furious Super Mario is discussing with the referee after the final whistle. Without a doubt, he is the pleasure and pain of this Milan. He played a personal match against Pepe Reina, scored a wonderful consolation goal only at 91', but at 61' the perfect shooter missed the first penalty in his career. Reina is the first goalkeeper who hypnotized him. ...

We are only at the third round of this season but for both teams there's too much at stake. The Blucerchiati and The Rossoblu have known very dark nights in these years. That's why they honor always this match. We are in the city of Christopher Columbus , the man who discovered America. We are in a city gold medal for the Resistance during the Second World War. We are in a big industrial city, fatherland of great singers. We are in northern Italy but here, in the Old Town's streets, if you want, you can find a Latin soul. Welcome to Genoa , the city of Genoa Football Cricket Club (the oldest Italian football team) and Sampdoria UC . This Sunday will be a thrilling day for Genoese people. The Derby of the Lantern is knocking on city's doors and an odd spy-story monopolized the atmosphere in the last hours. "LIKE RAMBO UNDER A TREE" - Luca Del Pra , a youth team Genoa's coach, was found hiding in a bush at Sampdoria's training. He...

Q uattro anni fa andai in cerca di Salvador e della democrazia perduta per le vie di Santiago. Era il luglio del 2009. Avrei voluto incontrare il regista Patricio Guzmán, autore della monumentale "Batalla de Chile", per chiacchierare con lui. Gli scrissi una mail che lui definì "larga y fundamentada". La cosa mi inorgoglì parecchio. Mi rispose che viveva a Parigi e che il Cile forse aveva riconquistato la democrazia ma aveva qualche problema con la memoria. Mi domando ancora oggi se sia possibile vivere nell'una privi dell'altra anche nel nostro Paese. Vidi il Palazzo de La Moneda solo dal di fuori. In quei giorni non era visitabile. Nella sede del Comune di Santiago mi ricevette un vecchio militante socialista e la sera andai a cena con lui e la moglie tedesca. Si erano conosciuti in Europa durante gli anni dell'esilio. Mi raccontò molte cose della politica di Allende, della dittatura, del ritorno della democrazia. Aveva un linguaggio politico forte, ...

Last Serie A's top scorer joined for PSG for €63m. The club reinvested that huge amount to sign Gonzalo Higuain, Pepe Reina, José Maria Callejon, Dries Mertens. Is Napoli even stronger? If we want to evaluate SSC Napoli's 2013 transfer market, probably we can't use our magnifying glass to focus on this last period, in which the club received €70 million and spent €87 million . We have to produce a magnified image that includes the last two off seasons . We have to put a marker on our timeline that should start on July 2, 2012 , when Paris Saint Germain signed Ezequiel Lavezzi, the Argentinean forward, on a four-year deal (about € 30 millions for Italian club). At the time, the wonderful trio Lavezzi-Cavani-Hamšík - nicknamed The Three Tenors – was dismantled at the end of an important season, which culminated in the conquer of the Italian Cup. Lavezzi was a symbol of the Neapolitan Renaissance with Marek Hamšík, Walter Gargano ( el uruguayo ) ...
