You know its preseason and there’s nothing to report about when…

By: Francesco | July 22nd, 2009

Today I was doing my usual calcio news surfing and I saw something on calciomercato.com that made me laugh. The headline read “Roma, Incidente Rosi” (Incident for Roma’s young full-back Aleandro Rosi) in bold letters. Then, as I switched my focus to the subtitle underneath the bold letters it said, “Stung by a bee in training“. That’s when I laughed. You know it’s the preseason and there’s nothing to report about when your reporting about players getting stung by bees! The full article is equally ridiculous:

Aleandro Rosi, returned from his loan at Livorno, was stung by a bee while he was performing a resistance exercise. The footballer stopped and with his yell called the attention of the medical staff, who treated him immediately. After a few minutes he resumed training.

Really? Because I thought a bee sting could keep you out for months! Thank God his recovery time was only a few minutes! Calcio never ceases to amaze me. That’s why I love it.

    “Really? Because I thought a bee sting could keep you out for months! Thank God his recovery time was only a few minutes!”

    If the bee had stung Juan or Aquilani then I wouldn’t have ruled out months so quickly…

    I’m sure he started rolling around slapping the ground with his hand as well.

    And just as you thought this was strange, I just read that Milan’s Thiago Silva and Marco Borriello won’t be taking part in tonight’s friendly with Club America because of a fever they got because of “American air conditioning.”
