I didn’t put up a Weekend Round-up yesterday because I figured with the midweek round tomorrow, it would be pointless to update everything twice. So we’ll dive in straight to Goals of the Week. Not as great as last week, but still some good goals, especially Daniele Mannini’s one-time volley vs. Bologna. Goals after the jump.

Daniele Mannini vs. Bologna – Mannini has transformed into a bomber at Samp. This is probably the best goal of his career so far. Pazzini with a perfect assist to the winger who hits is brilliantly on the volley and it flies past Viviano.

Wesley Sneijder vs. Catania – The Dutch trequartista scores his second goal in Serie A with this pinpoint free kick.

Francesco Tavano vs. Roma – Tavano scores against his ex-team and grabs Livorno the 3 points at the Olimpico. I can’t find a non-replay video of this goal, because the replay in slow motion doesn’t do a great job of showing how hard his shot was.

Reto Ziegler vs. Bologna – The Swiss winger scores a nice goal with his favored left foot, turning the defender and finishing in the bottom right corner.

Cesare Bovo vs. Udinese – It’s still debated whether this goal was deflected or not, but we’ll give it Bovo. It was a great volley. And I like this live at the stadium video.

  • Ehem! You are forgetting all the goals that Inter will score tomorrow, Ale!
    (feverishly knocking on wood and throwing salt while hopping in circles on one foot)

  • I bet Lippi has a Google news alert for the phrase "Tifo Inter." That guy is never gonna wear Azzurro.

  • Ooops, he may have shot himself in the foot, then (figuratively). Mannini recently told RAI that he has always been an Inter fan. Apparently he almost moved to Inter under Mancini but the deal fell through. He dreams of being Nerazzurri (the good one, not those Bergamasti :) ). Lippi wont like that much.

    (and everyone likes a good conspiracy theory, Ale!)

  • Oh, the ItalJuve conspiracy theory

  • Mannini knows he has better chance of getting called up by Lippi if he looks more like a Juventus player. So he's trying to look like Camoranesi.

  • rosay

    haa he's tryin to grow a camoranesi ponytail

  • Wow that video of Bovo's goal is great. Normally they are terrible cameras, or poor picture, or whatever.

    Wtf is with Mannini's hair...
