Six Things to Look out for This Weekend Six things to look out for this weekend After the international break, Premier League action returns this weekend. Here is a small list of things to keep your eye on: Drama in the derby: If you have access to Sky Sports, you will of course know that part of their 126 live games this season include the first Manchester derby of the season, Saturday lunch time. It would not be a Sky game without a constant revamp of drama; however the encounter itself is not significant enough without the forthcoming preview in the media about the well-documented rivalries of this title race soap opera. There is a notorious and long-raging rivalry between former Barcelona colleagues Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, with Mourinho’s prodigal son Zlatan Ibrahimovic describing the former Barcelona man as a ‘spineless coward.’ Will Jack Come Back on the South Coast? Described as the greatest signing in Bournemouth’s history, Jack Wilshire could make his Cherries debut against West Brom on Sunday. While Baggies manager Tony Pulis complained of the need to bolster his squad, signing Wilshire was arguably the coup of the transfer window. Bournemouth need him to put in performances they know he is capable of, as for Wilshire himself, he is at a crucial period in his career where he needs to perform consistently, as well as stay fit. New Team, New Away Day: Watford made a staggering 11 signings during the transfer window. Walter Mazzarri takes his Hornets side to their first visit to the Olympic Stadium against West Ham on Saturday. While Slaven Billic has a plethora of injury concerns among his small squad, Mazzarri must get his new team to gel and quickly in what promises to be a challenging test for the former Napoli and Inter manager. An Italian Reunion in South Wales: High-flying to Chelsea head to the Liberty Stadium on Sunday to face a stop-start Swansea, with two managers who have faced each other before: Francesco Guidolin and Antonio Conte have clashed multiple times in various jobs in Serie A and B, Guidolin will be hoping a home win will boost the morale of the Jack Army, as well as making the head-to-head stats look more impressive in his favour. With 5 wins for Conte, two draws and one win for Guidolin since their first encounter in 2008. The Champions Head to All Too Familiar Territory: Leicester City only lost the three league games in an unforgettable 2015-16 season, one of which was at Anfield. With many of the pundits deciding that what happened to the Foxes was nothing short of breathtaking, but could never be repeated, Claudio Ranieri’s side face an unpredictable Liverpool, hoping to catch them on one of their ‘Burnley away’ days and settle some scores. Prominent Deadline Day Deals at the Britannia: A typically hectic deadline day saw Stoke City acquire the services of loanees Wilfried Bony and Bruno Martins Indi. The striker and the centre back represent two good bits of business in a typically well done transfer window for the Potters. Spurs did not shy away from the deadline day limelight either. Looking set for a quiet day, they matched Everton’s £30 million bid for Newcastle United’s Moussa Sissoko. The French winger at the last minute opting for the switch to White Hart Lane. All three should be set to make their respective debuts on Saturday. .

  • Chi É Francesco Guidolin?
    Chi é Francesco Guidolin? A few seasons ago, the impromptu and somewhat shocking decision for the Southampton board to sack popular manager Nigel Adkins and replace him with Argentine Mauricio Pochettino was met with intense scrutiny and a fear of the unknown. While Southampton have gone undoubtedly from strength to strength, and with Pochettino now gaining all the plaudits at his current club Tottenham Hotspur, does a lack of prior knowledge about a manager mean he is a bad call? Take the imminent appointment of Francesco Guidolin as head coach of Swansea, context is key to this appointment of this experienced Italian. In terms of Swansea’s search for a manager, it has looked something similar to the player searches for many clubs during the January transfer window; an awful lot of speculation, with often limited end product. Many managers, Jorge Sampaoli, Brendan Rodgers and Marcelo Bielsa among others have been linked, but earlier this month coach and long serving stalwart at the club Alan Curtis had been handed the job on a temporary basis until the end of the season. But with the former player’s reluctance to be the main man tasked with keeping the Swans in the top flight, chairman Huw Jenkins has turned to the 60 year old with a lot of experience. With Curtis seemingly remaining as temporary manager, it remains to be seen how the two will work in connection to each other, perhaps meaning Curtis will resume his day to day coaching role. So why Francesco? As mentioned, the decision came as a big surprise to the footballing world, especially after the decision was made to keep Curtis at the helm.

  • You Go Ahead, Cause Its Making Me Laugh... by Fausto Sala - Vice President FISSC
    Year Number Jan - Mar 2 1 2012 You go ahead, cause its making me laugh... by Fausto Sala - Vice President FISSC “Olimpico” stadium in Rome, Sunday 5 February 2012. Around the 20 minute of the first half of Roma-Inter in South stand appeared a banner which read: “All at 15: the nature of things, by nature force”. As everybody knows the match was scheduled to be played on Saturday at 20.45, then anticipated at 15 and at last moved at the same time on Sunday, in contemporary with all other matches in serie A as the tradition was back in the past. Thus the roman fans wanted to underline this fact and their consent for the traditional shcedule of matches, remarking as only the snow emergency had forced the hands of those in command to revert to old habits of italian football fans. We can repeat until boredom that playing at night in the coldest days of the year is madness. Yet since January 18 up to February 5, between league and national cup, 21 matches at night have been programmed and out of these 19 in the north between Bergamo, Milan, Torino or Novara. But you think that who decides does not know such facts? But more the Lega is criticised, and more who guides the Lega continues to be bend to the will of the television networks who now have absolute power to decide the time in which games are playes, having tv rights now constitute the main income for the clubs. Thus the only concern of the Lega in these last seasons, whose president Maurizio Beretta has resigned since March of last year since he now passed to a top managerial post within UniCredit, was to see how to divide between the clubs the income coming from these rights with the consequent effect of half-empty stadiums to the benefit of sitting in cosy armchairs and sofas at home.

  • Madrid Close In
    PREVIEW ISSUE FOUR – 24TH APRIL 2012 MADRID CLOSE IN REAL TAKE THE SPOILS IN THE EL CLASICO AND CLOSE IN ON THE SILVERWARE After a poor week for both sides in Europe, Real and Barca were desperate to grab a win against their biggest rivals on a dramatic, rain-lashed Saturday night at the Nou Camp. It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside. INSIDE THIS WEEK’S WFW Real’s brave start was rewarded when Pepe’s header from another corner was half- - RESULTS ROUND-UP ON ALL MAJOR stopped by Valdes and Khedira tackled an COMPETITIONS FROM AROUND THE hesitant Carles Puyol to push the ball into the WORLD net to put Madrid ahead.

SOCO con i propri marchi “Cielo Alto”, “Keramine H”, “New Topexan” e nella figura del suo Presidente Ermanno Langé è onorata di essere lo Sponsor dell’evento, la cui finalità non è solo di premiare i successi dell’allenatore di calcio del momento, ma soprattutto di fare capire la parte umana dei personaggi pubblici sportivi e promuovere il messaggio nobile e positivo dello sport italiano. Con una serata di Gala che si terrà il 5 giugno 2017 presso “Hotel Minerva” di Arezzo, verrà consegnato il famoso “Timone d’Oro” a Maurizio Sarri, allenatore dell’SSC Napoli, ospite d’onore della serata e già vincitore del Trofeo nel 2014. Grandi nomi del calcio si sono aggiudicati questo premio, da Fabio Capello ad Arrigo Sacchi, da Luciano Spalletti a Cesare Prandelli, da Marcello Lippi a Giovanni Trapattoni.

  • Finale Coppa Italia Coca-Cola
    Approfondimenti e curiosità statistiche Finale Coppa Italia Coca-Cola 2019-20 17 Giugno 2020 NAPOLI vs JUVENTUS Sono 11 gli incroci tra Juventus e Napoli in Coppa Italia (5 successi a 4 per i bianconeri e 2 pareggi); la sfida più recente nella competizione risale al ritorno delle Semifinali del 2017, vinta dai partenopei per 3-2. Ma a volare in finale fu la Juventus in virtù del 3-1 dell’andata. Juventus e Napoli si sono affrontate soltanto una volta in finale di Coppa Italia, il 20/05/2012. Vittoria dei partenopei (2-0) allenati da Walter Mazzarri, con i gol di Cavani su rigore e Marek Hamsik. La Juventus ha raggiunto il traguardo delle 19 finali di Coppa Italia, staccando ulteriormente la Roma, ferma a quota 16 in questa classifica. La Juventus ha perso solo una delle ultime 12 partite di Coppa Italia, contro l’Atalanta, nel gennaio 2019 (9V, 2N), tenendo la porta inviolata ben 9 volte nel parziale. Il Napoli è la squadra che ha incassato meno reti in media (0.25) in questa Coppa Italia: una in 4 partite. La Juventus è la squadra che si è giocata più finali di Coppa Italia ai tempi supplementari: ben 6 (sulle 19 complessive). L’unica persa nel parziale è quella poi decisa ai rigori contro il Milan nel luglio 1973. Considerando solo le Coppe (escluso quindi il campionato), il Napoli è imbattuto da 11 partite (6V, 5N); l’ultima volta che i partenopei hanno infilato una serie più lunga di match senza sconfitta nelle Coppe è stata nel gennaio 1989, con Ottavio Bianchi in panchina (13, tra Coppa Italia e Coppa Uefa, 9V, 4N).
