ANALYSIS Football 2008 ...
/ TABLE THE CALCIOMERATO \\ We assess the situation on this Champions League just ended. Transfers a positive for us. And we mean, we Italians, we Serie A. You may say that because the Times, the Series A will be strengthened by success this summer. Many stars and finally arrived after so many years many players have preferred Italy to the money the rest of Europe. Despite the Serie A has fewer economic opportunities, we relied on. And indeed there was very little stuff abroad. With the exception of ultramiliardari club, which must necessarily be some buying of international importance to their supporters. I speak of Chelsea (Deco), Manchester United (Berbatov), \u200b\u200bManchester City (Robinho), Real Madrid (Van Der Vaart), Arsenal (Nasri), Barcelona (Alves), Tottenham (Modric), etc. .. But to speak of our Champions League: Atalanta
6: It is certainly not to throw Atalantino the transfer market. Apparently without any major hits but instead there are interesting purchases. Buying tip Cigarini, ripped the great midfielder of great prospect heals of the departure of the gap largely Tissone. The company then decided to subsoiler Vieri up against the will of the fans and like the last few seasons is a gamble, an unknown. Then there escaped from the stress of starting Floccari Cerci surprise you highlight its red and yellow school talent. Garics for defense and security. Of great significance is the confirmation of Blacks, to give continuity to the project. There are losses, there will be improvements?
Bologna 6 : newly promoted and influenced by corporate concerns, not the best to buy a beautiful countryside. Despite all Cazzola and co. they put on a good team groped for salvation. No betting that the Bologna can not afford to stay in A but above certainties. Men of experience. Foxes in the middle of the field is the perfect director, then Di Vaio in search of redemption we are discussing, for the defense and Lanna Mudingayi '81 is a great physicality. For the rest of the group confirmed that has done so well in B. Phenomena but not a team if they play like they did with AC Milan ...
Cagliari 5.5: not convinced this campaign too risky purchases of the last happy and confident part of last season. The only really positive note the confirmation of Acquafresca and Matri. There are no improvements. The focus is on young people but not enough to save himself. A risky move to Cellino. Cagliari last year will be enough 'to save again?
Catania 6 + : A project to aim higher than just a quiet salvation. Lots of good young talented players but also about whom to entrust an interesting project. All led by the amazing Zenga, who has toured Europe to return to Italy and prove its worth. In midfield there Carboni a midfielder of great technical quality and above all, Ledesma, also sought by young adults. At the Boca Juniors player was now in the Catania promises much. Then the attack is to give Tell imagination. Zenga's protégé, is one of the best talent in Romania. 27 years and a secure future in rossoblu, imagination and give you goals.
Chievo 6 + : Return to the dream of Chievo, reborn spread over a recruitment drive really important. Names important to aim high. Reform is the pair of attack-Cagliari Edwards Langella. For the defense of Frey and Sorrentino for the port. Finzi intriguing midfield with safety, the valid and Savini, who can bet Foquinha spettaccolo. We are the foundations for a league beyond expectations.
Fiorentina 8 : called by many the queen of the transfer market, has set up a team to permanently join the elite of the greats of our football. A project of the Della Valle, outstanding. From C to the Champions with a team able to focus really on top. Team young, talented and Prandelli is now one of the best coaches in Italy. Gilardino got to where you spend a lot but his desire for revenge provides many goals. It 's still young and is Perfect paired with Mutu, defended by Rome. Felipe Melo in spite of 25 years, is already at home in midfield and purple will be the protagonist. Party Ujfalusi, offset by a starting defender thrust great prospect (Vargas), then one of experience and defensive (Comotto). In midfield, the aim is to revive the strong Almiron. The bet is Jovetic, one of the best talent that European football could offer, called the new Savicevic. It will be a great season, is sure: you are one of the great Florentine!
Genoa 7: Inevitable Genoa is a candidate to be the surprise of the season. Inevitable for a recruitment drive targeted and effective. Borriello sold very well, Konka and money rispesi well. Football focus on young people but of quality. Super defense with Modesto, Trade, Power, nozzle, and also found
Papastathopoulos Ferrari. But the midfield is not far behind, Gasbarroni from Parma imagination and ensures quality, Jankovic has already done well to Palermo, but can grow and goals and ensures the young Di Gennaro by Milan. The attack sparks promises, Palladino is the cutting edge. Class and undeniable desire for redemption: it can only be good. The bet is the bitter rivals Olivera, born midfielder turned striker by Gasperini and pre-season has shown that it is certainly a role well for him. Seemed to lack only the heir of Borriello, an attacker di peso in mezzo all'area. E invece è arrivato proprio in extremis. E' il ritorno di Diego Milito ha completare il mercato genoano. El Principe assicura gol.
Inter 7,5: L'acquisto numero 1, è l'allenatore Josè Mourinho, semplicemente il migliore. Personaggio che fa bene al calcio, carismatico, schietto, simpatico, positivo, arrogante, geniale... insomma mica un pirla per dirla come direbbe lui. Una ventata d'aria fresca per l'ambiente nerazzurro. E proprio secondo lo Special One, quella nerazzurra è una campagna acquista perfetta o quasi. Infatti il portoghese aveva chiesto 3 giocatori a Moratti: Mancini, Lampard e Quaresma. E questi sono arrivati, a parte l'inglese. Però dalla Roma, Mancini ensures speed and technique to 4-3-3 Mourinho. Quaresma taken in extremis is a major investment (including bonuses 30ml) on which the Special One will build 'his way along with Ibra. Young, classy and effect shots to crazy San Siro. And then there's Muntari and do not call it a replacement for Lampard. Why Mourinho really wanted the midfielder and is a great, comprehensive and improved. Character who throws hard but even more frightening. It is betting on Balotelli and Adriano found, which seems to have been reborn. It 's the natural favorite for the title.
Juventus 7: the emphasis was on reconfirmation of the group last year, a few grafts on an important but all .. and graft! Amauri finally reached the great football and wants to prove that he deserves. More than 20ml Ranieri to take him and betting on him. Then there are the certainties given by the scorer and the deputy (Del Piero and Trezeguet), certain goals. Then he bet on the young. Edkal, is one of the most talented Swedish Giovinco then there is that needs no introduction and wants to carve out a role but let's not forget De Ceglie and Marchisio firmly within the national Casiraghi. For the defense of the experience of Mellberg and Knezevic good alternative. Then the personal challenge of Ranieri: Poulsen. The Dane wants to deny everyone: not only is good to beat!
Lazio 6.5 : After buying so many campaigns criticized, Lotito has taken his revenge setting up a team to erase a disappointing season last year. And 'playing an important player but it came as Behrami other. Carrizo in goal at last, billed as a phenomenon. For the defense
Lichtsteiner and Belleri, enough. For the midfield Foggia, promises a return to absolute protagonist and Matuzalem know it, as indiscussee 28 years. To attack the star Zarate: young and talented. From Birmingham, low center of gravity, great technique and goals. Then Simone Inzaghi and the speed of Makinwa. Finally Cristhian Brocchi, wildcard midfield that already 'widely proven its quality at Milan.
Lecce 6: What not underestimate the transfer market in Lecce. Ok, nothing extraordinary but a mix of youth 'and experiments that could bear fruit. Just in defense is young can grow, and safety standards and a push-back Antunes has talent. For the midfield you prefer not to risk: a '77 and '78. Experience to date and the return of Caserta Giacomazzi. In attack youth 'is given by Gomes but the real challenge is Cacia. The talented former Fiorentina is still unexploded in A, is the right year. Experience in the attack by Castillo, B is the master but now in the top division. The 3-0 with Torino is daunting but will Beretta improve Lecce.
7.5 Milan: Rossoneri Seeing the transfer market, comes to mind only one word: SPECTACULAR! One of the other more high-sounding names, prestige, class and substance is all in the market Milani. Those were years that Berlusconi and co. were not masters of the international market but this year was different. Berlusconi has bought everything he wanted. It came out a super Milan galactic map. Martian attack, consisting of 7 samples. Upon all of Ronaldinho, who demonstrated against Bologna is not only a purchase of merchandise. Shot-effect but also indisputable champion. It seems already back in form as in the days of the gold ball is already managed to go into raptures San Siro until the first day and all for "only" 22ml. Then he came back Shevchenko, who purchase it will prove 'important. Accepted by the fans at large, the desire to make a difference Sheva: redeem himself. Then there's the return of Borriello, which should not be underestimated. E 'striker weight was needed to Milan and if he plays like last year. Zambrotta on defense is more than just a security and the arrival of Senderos tranquilizzato fans worried about the defense. The defender Stam, what was missing the Rossoneri. For the port has, that's great for this season pending Felipe Santos already taken for next year. Then the other big hit is Flamini. Stroke which is almost gone in the second floor but it is one of the best. Taken on a free transfer is young and ensures quality and quantity. Finally, also inaugurated the policy of young and Cardaci Viudez. Starting with the Bologna is not comforting, Ancelotti must be able to combine all these samples and Berlusconi already reassures: "In the end the quality come out, we will show in the Milan and beyond."
Naples 6.5: Country buying importantly, made just for gassing the people of Naples have found enthusiasm for Europe. The project aims high De Laurentiis and Marino has assembled a team that will give surprises. May is a big hit, 9 goals with Samp, so call quality and a blue touched. Rinaudo safety by the defense is young, strong and has the habit of goal. For the attack Denis already idol of the fans. Compared with Batistuta, well knows how to make available to the team. Then more good buys to complete a very comprehensive and pink in the hands of reliable Reja. With Lavezzi and Hamsik confirmed, there is all to aim high.
Palermo 6.5: Supply to say the least heavy, but waivers were allowed to go on the market in a truly important. Zamparini has bought a lot, almost revolutionizing the team. But quantity does not necessarily mean quality. Yet there is really good on paper squadra a disposizione di Colantuono. Difesa sicura con Raggi, Carozzieri, Della Fiore e Bovo. Senza dimenticare Amelia in porta, che non è l'ultimo arrivato. Centrocampo muscoli e tecnica con la regia di Liverani e il fiato di Nocerino, ex Juve con larghi margini di miglioramento. L'attacco mirato a colmare l'eredità pesantissima lasciata da Amauri. Ci prova Lanzafame arrivato proprio nell'affare del brasiliano promettente ma non pronto per essere il nuovo Amauri. C'è poi Budan, attaccante di peso, che dopo le belle cose mostrate a Parma può riconfermarsi. C'è stato a mio avviso l'errore di mollare De Melo, bisognava dargli una chance. Tutto ok se non fosse che l'eliminazione dalla Coppa Italia (ad opera del Ravenna, addirittura di First Division) and the first with Udinese, already concerned about the insatiable Zamparini. Colantuono Can you put together all these new implants ... Zamparini before exonerating him.
Reggina 5.5: will be tough to save this time, well certainly Foti did not give a hand to Nevio Orlandi. The team is practically the last year alone without Modesto, Amoruso (above), Makinwa and Aronica. The only major names in this country buy low in satisfaction, only for defense and Santos Corradi for the attack. Need one of those miracles that gave Reggina in recent years.
Rome 6.5: A campaign buy more targeted to replace the starters than to improve the team. The improvements have come on defense, with the major purchase of Riise. A defender of European experience and undeniable talent. Then a great alternative as Loria from Siena. Then he spent a summer trying to replace Giuly and Mancini. Problem solved only in late summer, it seemed like a hasty solution but it does not. E 'Julio Baptista arrived, searched for some time. It can be very useful, but Spalletti has to be good at converting it to finalizer giallorosso game to make it more attacking midfielder that. Then came Menez, one of the best talent that the Ligue 1 offers. He has a great opportunity to show his class and his games will breach the hearts Romanists tightrope walker. E 'bitter but grow quickly. But that Rome will be able to keep pace with the massive campaigns of the other major purchases?
Sampdoria 6.5: E 'has long been a certainty of our league. It promises to confirm this Samp group that focuses on the transfer market last year, more than a simple but intriguing. For the defense Stankevicius, which at Brescia has always done well and is ready for the leap. In midfield, can not pass unnoticed by the start of May to Naples. A substitute Dessena, younger and very talented. A Parma already shown his qualities, now wants to Genoa final consecration. Finally, for the attack, part Montella comes Fornaroli, which will hardly regret the Roma. Young and eager to show what it's worth: the right spirit to do well. Said el Tuna (the villain) for his opportunism in the area. Basic redemption of Cassano, now star of the team and Volpi not regret .. especially if Palombo always plays like against Inter
Siena 5.5: unsatisfactory purchases Sienese countryside. The word perfect is inconcreta. Many purchases but none decisive. Young hopefuls but maybe not enough for a salvation that has not come this year from 2 or 3! The only one who seems able to shake the Giampaolo is Calaiò men. In Naples, in fact to see what it can give dashes but at 26, against Siena can do really well. Del Grosso for the defense is not bad and very smart operation Moti, blown at the last minute to Lazio. Youth 'Curci from Rome to the door left by Manninger. For the midfield Barusso muscles, but still immature. Just?
Torino 6 +: Hush hush, Cairo has managed to put on a really interesting Turin. Among the dissatisfaction of the fans, but a recruitment drive that will slow results. There are many parties but was a solid group reinforced intelligently. The defense has the absolute reliability provided by Pratali and with him, Melara and Colombo. For the midfield, Säumel, is somewhat still a "mysterious object" but is firmly in the lap of the Austrian national, and not cheap. To evaluate Abate School Milan, Olympic veteran from the adventure, must grow. Back Abbruscato not underestimate the purchase of Amoruso. More 100gol in Serie A, but advanced age are the goals that speak: and will prove it. The purchase, however, Prince is definitely Rolando Bianchi. The Turin by betting on him, and the former Reggina knows how to repay it. It can also be the year of Rosina. There seems little? Then ask to Lecce ...
Udinese 6 + : As usual Pozzo proves smart. Football apparently only of secondary importance but it is not so. Sold many players (because the budget also wants its share) but kept the samples on all Totò Di Natale which is now the King of Udine. But arrivals could give a further leap in quality to the people of Pasquale Marino. On defense, not bad Nef, Pasquale has already been widely disclosed, Dining Domizzi experience and above all: the last day was taken by many and if it contesissimo well as in Naples .. is understandable. Then for many young people on all the rearguard from Turin Motta. Good then il riscatto molto sudato di Tissone. Conteso alle buste con l'Atalanta ma ne varrà la pena. Per l'attacco la scommessa che più che scommessa, è il solito colpo di genio bianconero è Sanchez. L'Udinese se l'era già assicurato un anno fa e l'aveva parcheggiato al River Plate, dove ha fatto benissimo. E' un grande talento ha numeri per far girare la testa agli avversari. E' giovane, dovrà abituarsi al nostro calcio e poi.. sarà spettacolo o almeno questo sperano i tifosi bianconeri.
