Are you serious?Or....is he serious?I just saw pics of that scence and it looked ridiciolous.
Thats right. Cassano cried today and not only that he was hitting his head on the ground and rolling on the ground. I've never seen someone at this age acting this way. Not even kids would do that.

First time I see such a thing in football, seriously.

Coaching Cassano is like running a pre-school. That's always been the case.

But thats too much. He has mental problems thats for sure. I mean It took 5players to calm him down from Bobo Vieri and Adrian Mutu to his other 3mates:crazy:.... and he kept rolling on the floor even after they tried calming him down.

Here is the link


And more news connected to serie A :
Ancelotti said that if Pato shows in serie A what he has shown in trainings in last 6 months, he can score 30 serie A goals from January to June.
:confused:
Trust me Pato is the SHIT,if he was able to adapt to serie a like Kaka did,he will be the next best thing for Milan.

about Cassano,I was really touched with his passion to play against Roma,I think he was waiting for this match from the day he joined Sampa & thats why he went crazy.

Inter will win easily at Cagliari, I´m afraid. Good news that we are close to Roma though. Roma was incredibly lucky today and when I see how many chances Torino missed, they don´t even deserve to be higher on the table. They can learn something from us.
Indeed, they won, but who cares about Inter, they will probably be the champions this year, I am just glad we did such a good deal this weekend for the cl spot, 1 point behind Roma and 4 points ahead of the 4th, standings improved much during the weekend and we won a very though away match.

Football Italia rounds up the winners and the losers from Week 16 of the Serie A season


The winners…

Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus)
While Gianluigi Buffon did his bit at one end of the pitch, fellow Old Guard member Alessandro Del Piero did the damage at the other end. Finally handed a starting shirt, the Italian fantasista reminded Coach Claudio Ranieri of his ability with a fine brace which ensured a rare Juventus away win.

Amauri (Palermo)
He may have rippled the net for both Palermo and Atalanta on Sunday, but the big Brazilian underlined his undoubted ability in Bergamo with another impressive 90 minutes of football. Rosanero boss Francesco Guidolin calls him his own Didier Drogba and it’s surely just a matter of time before a big club comes in with an offer high enough to secure his signature.

Sebastian Giovinco (Empoli)
Another afternoon of tricks, flicks, assists and a goal for Giovinco won him the honour of Man of the Match against Genoa. Despite his tender years and his slight frame, the Under-21 international is becoming an integral part of the Tuscan side’s survival plans. If he keeps playing like this, it’ll be tough for Juventus to not recall him at the season’s end.

The losers…
Alessandro Rosina (Torino)
He’s widely considered as Torino’s best player which makes his below-par performances even more frustrating for fans. The Italian international has been struggling for form recently and that continued in his horror show against Roma. He struggled to make an impression offensively and never really recovered after he and David Di Michele combined for their miss of the season.

Marcelo Zalayeta (Napoli)
Napoli’s goal machine went missing at Siena. Having impressed since his summer move from Juventus, the Uruguayan was orphaned without the sublime assists of the suspended Ezequiel Lavezzi. If the Azzurri are to secure UEFA Cup football, they need Zalayeta’s goals – with or without his Argentine strike partner.

Antonio Cassano (Sampdoria)
He’s destined to be a boy who will never grow up – his astonishing strop during the game against Fiorentina illustrated that point. One can understand his disappointment at being booked which will rule him out of the Roma match next week, but his on-field tears highlight the fragile nature of his character. It’s a weakness which will rob us of his true footballing ability.

The goals…
Goran Pandev (Lazio)
Although the header which made it 1-1 at the Olimpico was simple enough for Goran Pandev, the build up play was of the highest quality. Tommaso Rocchi and Massimo Mutarelli combined well and at speed in the area which was just too quick for Juve to handle.

Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus)
Pick whichever goal you like as his strikes were almost identical. Having controlled a long Cristiano Zanetti pass over the top, Del Piero had the speed to pull away from the chasing defenders and power the ball home past Marco Ballotta with his left foot.

Marco Donadel (Fiorentina)
He doesn’t get many goals which makes his strike at Sampdoria all the more memorable. A partially cleared corner kick invited the former Under-21 international to smack it from 30 yards and it deservedly ended up in the back of the net.

The numbers…
Loving Lazio
Lazio are one of Alex Del Piero’s favourite targets. The Juventus captain has now scored 10 Serie A goals against them thanks to his double at the weekend. Parma remain his most prolific side with 12, followed by Fiorentina on 11.

Home boys
Atalanta’s 3-1 defeat to Palermo was their first at home in Serie A for almost a year. It was December 20, 2006, when the Bergamo boys were last defeated on their own patch when Udinese collected a 2-1 win. Seven wins and nine draws followed.

Sardinian shuffle
Cagliari chief Massimo Cellino may be regretting his decision to replace Marco Giampaolo with Nedo Sonetti. The veteran tactician, in his third spell at the club, has only collected one point out of a possible 15 after last night’s 2-0 loss to Inter.

Wow, Cassano is really a moron, there's no excuse for that kind of behavior. This isn't high school football FFS, he's really embarassing himself, Sampdoria outta fine him.

Indeed. Our top 4 finish is in no doubt judging the 1st part of season. I believe we will only get better in the 2nd part and I see a 2nd spot as an objective for us. That means we would qualify directly for Champions League and avoid the un-neccesary risk of losing in the 3rd round of preliminary stages.

Very true, although we would be seeded for the draw so we wouldn't get a difficult team, I still prefer to end second and be 100% certain of cl, would be a great achievement from the boys.

i think we should be aiming for 2nd spot. Roma's CL campaign would do them more harm than good and the same for Milan with their players already aiming for the final.

With 2nd spot we get to rest in the summer and take our time with the pre season without the need to rush the players back from euro or more importantly rush the transfers.
