Serie A Weekend Round-up: Giornata 2

By: Francesco | September 15th, 2008

Giornata 2 was another exciting week of Italian calcio. Inter and Juventus got back on track with wins, but Roma, Milan, and Fiorentina fell back a step with losses. Lazio continues to impress (Mauro Zarate especially) and Atalanta show they are a solid side. Cagliari still finds itself without any points (like Milan) and Massimiliano Allegri looks set to be on Cellino’s chopping block. Let’s start the review:

    The guy to Galliani’s right is Ariedo Braida, another Milan official. He has the title of “general manager”, but doesn’t actually have significant power.

    I have no idea who the guy in the Frutta sweatshirt is.

    Francesco, you may want to start adding links to the Lega Calcio’s new joint venture with Panini, which produces statistical “Match Reports” for every match in Serie A and Serie B.

    Some of it is of questionable worth (like the “danger index”), but the basic statistical information is definitely useful.

    For example, the one for Inter-Catania tells us that Vieira (who had an excellent game) completed no fewer than 70 passes, 22 more than the next player (Ledesma of Catania). Similarly, the one for Genoa-Milan demonstrates how the Rossoneri were unable to capitalise on their possession advantage.

    The reports are available here: http://www.paninidigital.com/site/IT/IT/upload.ashx

    I think he was talking about the guy in the frutta sweater. Was it really that cold out? Anyways he did not fit into the company he had, it is probably someones son or grandson maybe. Honestly no freakin clue but made me think twice when I saw him. also off the subject I don’t really get the chance to where my frutta shirt here In Florida, my friends break my balls enough with out wearing it infront of them. It would def sent them over the top. Haha!

    It was unseasonably cold. We were at Monza and a good portion of the crowd were shivering throughout the entire race.

    It also isn’t that unusual to see guys dressed like that in VIP sections here (especially if they happen to have a link to the particular “casual sportswear” brand they are sporting).

    Thanks ursus I will definitely use that in the future.

    Also, the guy in the Frutta sweatshirt is Galliani’s son (don’t you see the resemblence?). He always sits next to his father at Milan games.
