Quaglia doesn't score ugly goals
Juventus striker Fabio Quagliarella has made no secret of the fact he only likes scoring beautiful goals, even admitting that he isn't a fan of taking penalties.
The 27-year-old Italy international almost had a hat-trick against Catania on Sunday evening. However, his second goal was still memorable.
Quagliarella latched on to a loose ball and rifled the ball into the net from distance with considerable aplomb.
Asked if he can remember scoring any ugly goals, he said: “Not many come to mind. Maybe one with Torino when the goalkeeper tried to dribble past me and lost the ball.
“Unfortunately, these kinds of pieces of luck don't happen often to me.
“The ball has never once hit me in the face and gone in the goal. It usually ends up on the bar instead or when it goes over the line no one sees it…” he joked, referring to the hat-trick that got away.

I guess Qtube really does only score beautiful goals, even if it involves complicating the fuck out of life to do it. Remember that goal he scored with his head when he could have easily just tapped it home?
It seems inevitable that one day he's going to miss a sitter that will cost us the game because of one of his 'beauty' trips. Forza Quag.

Quagliarella never been better
Juventus ace Fabio Quagliarella insists he is in the form of his life. “This is the real me,” he underlined.
The striker was signed by the Turin giants late in the transfer window after the Old Lady finally cashed in on Diego whom they sold to Wolfsburg.
Despite arriving from Napoli with some scepticism, the World Cup player has hit eight goals in 14 League games.
“You are certainly seeing the real Quagliarella,” the forward told La Gazzetta dello Sport on Friday.
“Today I am being used in my correct position, I am finally being fielded as a second striker.
“That hadn’t happened since my days at Sampdoria, where I would play behind Fabio Bazzani or Emiliano Bonazzoli.
“I haven’t been able to give my best in the national side too, even if I am somebody who adapts to situations.
“The team comes first and I will happily make sacrifices, especially when you are winning.”
Quagliarella is recognised in Italy as something of a scorer of great goals, rather than a great scorer, after some sensational strikes over the years.
“Do I feel under-rated? Yes, by the critics, but that is not a problem,” he added. “Wherever I went there was always said to be a better player than me.
“That may have been right, but in certain moments I probably deserved greater consideration as a player.”
