Roma play without a real centre-forward, so they attack the space and can score with anyone. They also play ball to feet and are very quick to counter, so we must be concentrated, not make mistakes and focus on our own tactics too.”
It looked like a good plan, Pasquale Marino. Shame Catania ended up losing 7-0.
“I didn’t understand what Luciano Spalletti was trying to do. First his team keeps on kicking a dead man, then apologise. We could’ve lost 10-0, but it was the apology that disturbed me.”
Catania director Pietro Lo Monaco would’ve preferred it if Spalletti had laughed in his face after a 7-0 drubbing at Roma.
“I have never picked a line-up or told Francesco Guidolin who has to play. However, it’s only right that there is a liberal exchange of ideas.”
Translated – Zamparini shouts louder than a hard-bitten Ultra’ before going off in a sulk.
“Obviously the jury decided to give the Ballon d’Or to someone who was not part of an Italian club.”
Gianni Rivera manages to make even Fabio Cannavaro’s European Player of the Year victory a conspiracy against Serie A, despite the top two names being Italian.
“Francesco Totti said what he thought, both to the Press and the Azzurri Coach. If Roberto Donadoni has something to say, I think he has Francesco’s number.”
Spalletti doesn’t realise how frightened footballers are of picking up the phone since Calciopoli.
“Adriano is the donkey up our sleeve.”
A Freudian slip from Hernan Crespo who gets his Ace [Asso] and Donkey [Asino] mixed up.
