Inter Milan’s former striker Adriano is in an enviable position. The Brazilian International who quit the Nerazzurri last year citing personal reasons, has drawn interest from Europe’s elite clubs.
Now playing for Flamengo in Brazil’s Paulista championship, Adriano in fine form and getting better.
Barcelona, Real Madrid and Roma are all keen on landing his signature this is according to his agent Gilmar Rinaldi. “Adriano can return to Europe in a team that has Brazilian players. It could be Roma, Real Madrid or Barcelona” Rinaldi said. Adriano’s superb form for Flamengo has seen him score 24 goals so far. Read more...(204 words, 3 images, estimated 49 secs reading time)
AC Milan moved up to 2nd in the Serie A after beating Fiorentina 2-1 at the Artemio Franchi stadium last night. Milan are now just 4 points behind league leaders and city rivals Inter who also beat their European opponents Chelsea by a similar goal margin at the San Siro in the first leg of the Champions league knockout stage yesterday.
Milan went down in the 14th minute when their former striker Alberto Gilardino tapped in the ball after Milan’s defense failed to clear a Stefan Jovetic pass. It seemed as though the Rossoneri were headed for another defeat until Leonardo brought on Huntelaar for Gattuso with 14 minutes left on the clock and the Dutchman responded by scoring Milan’s equaliser after a neat one- two with Ronaldinho.

In what was one of Inter’s better performances in Europe in recent years, they beat Chelsea 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie.
It took Inter only three minutes to score as Thiago Motta served Eto’o and an instinctive dummy from Sneijder let the ball roll through to Milito, who turned Terry before firing past a hapless Petr Cech.
Inter mostly limited Chelsea to long range shots, but the visitors did come close to scoring when Didier Drogba hit the underside of the crossbar with a fantastic 30-yard free kick. Read more...(367 words, 2 images, estimated 1:28 mins reading time)
One of my fears came true this past weekend. AS Roma leap frogged Milan into second place after the rossoneri were held to a barren draw by the unfancied Bologna on Sunday afternoon. This was another bad outing for Leonardo and it increases the number of matches he has lost in the league to two . His side’s momentum that carried them through the better part of last year, seems to have disappeared into thin air. Read more...(328 words, 3 images, estimated 1:19 mins reading time)
Inter Milan overcame Wesley Sneijder’s early red card to beat AC Milan 2-0 and moved nine points clear of their city rivals in the standings.
Victory for AC Milan would have taken them to within three points of Inter with a game in hand, but they were under pressure from the start and conceded after just ten minutes when Diego Milito drove low into the far corner from the left for his 13th league effort this term.
Sneijder was shown a red card for dissent with 27 minutes gone, yet Milan failed to capitalize and were left reeling by Goran Pandev’s 65th-minute free-kick. Read more...(134 words, 2 images, estimated 32 secs reading time)

After a rather short break, the Italian Serie A resumes today with a round of entertaining fixtures. In my opinion, the highlight of these fixtures will be the Parma vs Juventus Fixture. 5th place Parma host 2nd place Juvenus at the Stadio Ennio Tardini at 2145hrs local time tonight in a match that Juve have to win to keep up with both the Milan teams.
Juventus have a slim 2 point advantage over Parma and another negative result will leave club president Jean Claude Blanc with no option other than sacking head coach Ciro Ferrara. Ferrara has had a run of bad luck ever since Bayern Munich thrashed them 4-1 in Turin to bundle them out of the Champions League. Read more...(358 words, 2 images, estimated 1:26 mins reading time)
The second England v Italy reunion game pits Inter boss Jose Mourinho against his former club Chelsea.
This is a really tough draw for Inter and Mourinho who will be facing the club that he them to two league titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups.
“It’s going to be difficult for both teams because they’re both very strong and they’re dominating their leagues,” said Inter director Luis Figo. Mourinho has nothing to prove. He arrived at Chelsea and brought titles to a club who had won nothing for a long time. The people love him so I think it’s going to be a fantastic and emotional return.” Read more...(227 words, 3 images, estimated 54 secs reading time)
This weekend’s round of fixtures produced poor showings from Italy’s top four teams. However, Inter Milan and AS Roma seemed to have come out of it a little bit better. They both drew while their counterparts AC Milan and Juventus suffered heavy defeats.
Inter were held 1-1 by lowly Atalanta while Roma and Sampdoria battled for a barren draw. Roma who have significantly improved in the league standings missed the chance to cut down 4th place Parma’s lead over them to just a point. Read more...(369 words, 4 images, estimated 1:29 mins reading time)
This weekend’s round of fixtures proved to be a mouth-watering affair. On Saturday night Juventus played host to Inter Milan who they eventually beat 2-1 to cut down the champions lead over them to just 5 points.
Earlier on, Ac milan beat Sampdoria 3-0 at the San Siro. Their star player Ronaldinho was once again at the heart of every Milan attack and he showed just why he is an integral part of Leonardo’s long term plans. The Brazilian maestro supplied two crosses that eventually led to 2 of Milan’s goals. Read more...(346 words, 3 images, estimated 1:23 mins reading time)
