AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus Tickets
From the category archives:
If you remove the fact that two of Juventus’ Serie A titles were stripped in 2005 and 2006 due to the infamous match fixing scandal, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has never played for an Italian team that didn’t win the league’s title. In fact the Swede is five for five in his career as a Serie A champion and also has an active streak of two straight Serie A MVP’s along with one Golden Boot Award.
In other words the guy has been a great Serie A player.
Juventus former Brazilian forward Diego is another player to hit out at his former club for what he terms as ‘huge mistakes’. The Over rated Brazilian failed to live up to his billing in Turin since his move from Weder Bremen last summer.
Diego signed for Wolfsburg for 15 million Euros days before the transfer window ended. He will now join Juve’s most sought out summer target Edin Dzeko in attack for the Bundesliga giants.
As Roma’s new signing, Marco Borriello, made the headline after making a surprising switch from Ac Milan to the capital club just few hours before the transfer window closed despite being heavily linked with Juventus not long before that.
Revealing his decision to the press, Borriello stated that one of the main reasons he choses to play for the Giallorossi instead of Juve was because the persuasive text message send to him by Daniele De Rossi.
“I said no to Juventus because I am a sensible person and when I heard the President speak and I read the text message from De Rossi which gave me goosebumps, I immediately accepted,” Borriello said. “He text me to tell me to come here and ended with ‘we are going to win’.”
Ac Milan made a surprising effort on the transfer market in the last weeks of the window as they not only managed to acquire Zlatan Ibrahimovic but also Brazilian star, Robinho, right on the last day of the transfer window.
The former Machester City’s man arrival was indeed a big surprise not only to the media and fans but also for Milan’s coach, Massimiliano Allegri, who didn’t even see it coming.
“I didn’t expect a reinforcement like Robinho. He is a player of great caliber,” Allegri said to the press. “We are talking about a wonderful present from Berlusconi, who I would like to thank again with my heart.”
Much like his old Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been known to speak his mind. The former Golden Boot winner and MVP of Serie A has made headlines in the last few weeks for several scathing attacks the Swedish striker has launched toward his former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola among others. And now that the forward has officially become a member of AC Milan via the $28 million euro transfer, Ibra is has now shifted his focus on outdueling his former Inter Milan side this season.
Last season treble winning team, Inter Milan, seems very confident with their current squad as they didn’t make any significant signings this summer aside from youngsters such as Phelipe Coutinho and Jonathan Biabiany.
However, despite the confident shown by the club’s director, Marco Branca, the Nerazzurri’s coach, Rafael Benitez, reportedly is disappointed with his team’s decision to be inactive in the transfer market.
The German national team captaincy debate has finally been decided by the club’s head coach Joachim Loew. And if you are not familiar with the story, the debate was fueled this summer by the excellent play of the German national team in the World Cup under interim captain Phillip Lahm who had replaced Michael Ballack for the honor due to a serious injury that kept the former Chelsea man out of the tournament.
It appears Inter Milan may have a formidable opponent this season in the quest for yet another consecutive Serie A title.
AC Milan has had an extremely impressive transfer window and the club has brought in several world renowned stars in the last week alone. And days after landing the Swedish sensation and former Serie A Golden Boot winner Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the club has now signed Manchester City outcast and Brazilian playmaker Robinho.
Over the last ten years very few players have made the impact that David Trezeguet has for Juventus.
The French former national team star has scored 171 goals for the league side and led the Serie A club to four league titles (not counting two that were removed).
And in the last few years the aging forward has struggled to remain fit for the grueling 38 week schedule and last year the forward rarely started for the struggling squad even when he was healthy. And Trezeguet’s large base salary became a burden on the cash-strapped squad over the last few years, so the Italian side has agreed to allow Trezeguet to leave one year before his contract was supposed to run out with his club.
I have always been a fan of Huntelaar and his departure from Milan is one of the down points for the Rossoneri this summer. However, if his leaving will open the door for Robihno, then in my case, it was good riddance.
Huntelaar is not only a top class striker but also one of the most talented players who have been taken for granted. The 26 year old Dutchman failed to excite in his first season with Milan because of inadequate exposure.
