AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus Tickets
Receiving several doubts in his first arrival in Serie A, Miroslav Klose, so far managed to show his quality as the Germany international bagged nine goals in the league and become one of the top goal scorers.
Speaking to the press, Klose reveals that hard word and good relationship is what helped him flourished at Biancocelesti adding that playing with the Rome based outfit was the best decision that he made last summer.
After facing disappointment in the hands of As Roma last weekend, Napoli run rampant in the midweek as Walter Mazzarri’s team completely demolished Genoa 6-1 at San Paolo.
Meanwhile, at Olympico an uninspiring performance from Lazio earned them only a point against Chievo, something that should be cherished by Edy Reja’s men as they were outplayed by their opponent for the most part of the match.
Lazio and Udinese faces different challenges in their Europa League campaign as a very tough match awaits the Biancolesti with Atletico Madrid arrives as challenger while the Friulani picked up a lighter draw against PAOK Salonika.
The capital club will obviously give their best if they still want to continue their European journey as Atletico are a quality side despite can really be very inconsistent, as for Francesco Guidolin’s team, concentration must remain high although their opponent supposedly isn’t that strong on paper.
Lazio continue their journey in Europe after picking up a comfortable 2-0 victory against a weakened Sporting Lisbon side, while in the other deciding fixture the Biancocelesti’s competitor Vaslui suffered a defeat against FC Zurich.
Those results gave Edy Reja’s side a passage to step into Europa League’s next round as they are three points above their Romanian rival and sitting as runners up behind Sporting, who already confirmed their qualification before Wednesday match.
Juventus still continue their fine form in the last few matches by snatching an important victory over another top team, Lazio, in this weekend Serie A, resulting in the Zebra confirming the top spot for at least another week.
Antonio Conte’s team could even widen the gap up front, should they also win the game in hand they have against Napoli, which is set to be played on this upcoming Tuesday in Naples.
The pretty fine debut that Miroslav Klose currently had with Lazio apparently encouraged the Italian side to set their upcoming transfer target on another German forward as reports claimed that Lukas Podolksi is the club’s next target.
Podolski’s fine partnership with Klose for their national team reportedly becomes the Biancoceleste’s main reasons in trying to acquire the FC Koln’s forward, who could be targeted as soon as this January.
It what should be the end of the Calciopoli scandal, former Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi was sentenced to five years and four months in jail today for his role in the match-fixing case which led to Juventus being relegated and stripped of their 2005 and 2006 Serie A titles.
Moggi was found guilty of sporting fraud and conspiracy by an Italian court in the criminal trial linked to the affair. Fiorentina owners and brothers Andrea and Diego Della Valle and Lazio president Claudio Lotito were each sentenced to 15 months in prison and fined 25,000 euros each.
Udinese and Lazio lift themselves as joint first in the league after Juventus had his game with Napoli called off due to the flood problems in Naples which also postponed Inter’s scheduled away match against Genoa.
Ac Milan also keeps their pace with the current leaders as the Italian champion won their fifth Serie A games in a row this weekend after comfortably beating Catania at San Siro, placing them in third place for the moment with only a point behind the current joint leaders.
Udinese’s positive run in Europa League finally meet its end after they were humbled by Atletico Madrid in Spain, but another Italian team in that competition, Lazio finally picked up their first win in the group stage after beating FC Zurich at Olympico.
For Francesco Guidolin’s team, the defeat against Atletico hasn’t threatened their qualifying chance as just yet, while for Edy Reja’s side, a first victory opens up their chance in advancing from their group.
Lazio picked up another win in the league last weekend, a precious 2-0 away victory against Bologna, something that dragged the Biancocelesti temporarily sitting in the second place behind league leader, Udinese.
This current standing once again lauded the capital club’s chances in challenging for the Scudetto, but their coach, Edy Reja, apparently isn’t keen on talking about it at the moment as he prefers to wait until halfway stage before commenting about title chances.
