Juventus and AS Roma: Coaches position under threat

AS Roma and Juventus continues their poor form in new season of Serie A. They opened the league campaign unconvicingly after 4 games when they are 2 big teams seating at the relegation spot.

AS Roma head coach Claudio Ranieri position is under threat when AS Roma still fail to register a win after 4 matches. 2 draws and 2 losses so far is the worst possible start for AS Roma in 10 years after clinching Scudetto in 2001 season. Ranieri's tactic and formation is questioning after AS Roma captain Francesco Totti criticise the tactic which is more defensive rather than attacking approach. The 4-2-3-1 formation shud be demolished and Ranieri shud implemented normal 4-1-3-2 formation as last season tremendous form.

Former Chelsea and Juventus coach managerial career at AS Roma is great after came back from another poor form last season under Luciano Spalleti when Ranieri was responsible with great form and entertaining of performance when AS Roma finished 2nd behind Inter Milan from 17th position on Oct 2009. Another blow the rumour says that former Italy coach Marcello Lippi is link with AS Roma coach position. This week (25/9/2010), Currently AS Roma at 19th position (2nd from bottom), will entertain champion Inter Milan in Rome and hope everything will change for AS Roma. Win over Inter will give boost for the Roman to catch back the form and continue to compete with Scudetto.

Juventus suffered another losses at home last night when they humiliated by Palermo 3-1. Luigi Del Nieri side fail to impress so far this season with only 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. At the beginning of the new season, Juventus signing more great name compare to other teams in the league when bringing Simone Pepe, Fabio Quagliarella, Marco Motta, Alberto Aquilani (on loan from Liverpool) but still fail to deliver as what they should. Former Chievo coach, Del Nieri approach to rotate the squad player this season does not work so far and the Turin side has to come back in order to compete Scudetto this season. Alessandro Del Piero and co has to do something as well and urge the teammates to be more focus after several occasion they lead the game but loss at the end of it. The question is does Juventus have what it take to be a contender of the Scudetto this season?

MSL - new revolution next season?

Lately, aku ada terdgr ura2 yg FAM nk buka balik kuota pemain import dalam Malaysian League. Bagi aku sebagai peminat bola sepak, x fair la klu aku asyik fokus pada liga bolasepak luar spt BPL, Serie A atau pun La Liga. Aku still have to realize where I stand, isnt it?

Pelaksanaan pemain import amat besar kesannya pada bola sepak kita. Itu xdinafikan. Sikit sebyk boleh tarik penonton g stadium. Aku masih ingat lg masa zaman2 pemain import spt Chris Kiwomya, John Hunter, Alistair Edwards, Abbas Saad (pundit Astro Supersport 3 skrg ni), Mehmet Durakovic, Tony Cottee, Bambang Pamungkas, Niell Quinn (president Sunderland skrg) pun pernah trial dgn Selangor. Pada masa ni, aku rajin g stadium tgk Selangor main.

Actually, keputusan FAM menutup pemain import aku rasa sbb persatuan negeri ada masalah kewangan. Cuba kita bayangkan, sedangkan pemain local pun dah sampai 3-4 bln gaji xbyr, inikan pula nk sara pemain import.

Bagi aku, saranan nk ada pemain aku setuju sgt2. Persatuan negeri pun haruslah berpikiran rasional sikit. Jgnla nk ikut trend beli player2 yg ada nama tp main setaraf player local. Xperlu g jauh2 amik player import, scout je kat negara ASEAN. Player Indonesia dan Vietnam pun byk yg bagus2. Dr segi kewangan, currency kita pun lg tinggi dgn dorg. Bayangkan, klu player local dibayar gaji antara RM 2500-RM 5000, klu amik player2 dr ASEAN ni, letak la rate yg sama gak. Bile dorg convert ke duit dorg, sure kaya-raya gak. One more thing, byk org2 Indon dan Vietnam ni kt Malaysia. Means bila ada game, at least dorg boleh penuhkan stadium. Jgn lak peminat local ni melatah jika kata stadium penuh dgn org asing. Padahal sekrg ni pun, xramai yg g tgk bola kt stadium. Ingat nama player2, jauh skali.

Lagi satu, kita xblh jadikan status pemain import tu utk menghalang pembangunan bola sepak kita. Tgk aje BPL tu, kdg2 ada team yg xturunkan langsung player local dorg, tp still dorg blh maintain. Satu lg, kat Asia ni pun ada Champions League gak. Mcm mane player2 kita nk bersaing dgn kelab luar yg rata2 berbdn besar. Xkan kita nk bermegah di laman sendiri je kan. Sape yg xnk tgk team2 spt Selangor, Kelantan kibar bendera Malaysia di pentas Asia. Pikirkanla.

Akhir skali, papehal pun, we have to grab this opportunity to improve our standard of football. Persatuan negeri hv to plan well masa nk amik player import tu. Jgn la psl nk nama dan byr gaji mahal2 kt dorg tp standard main sama dgn player2 local, akhirnya gaji player2 tertunggak. Kesian woii...

Inilah yang dinamakan bolasepak moden masa kini

Kita tak boleh nak nafikan lg, pemain2 ni bukan saje buat bola tu mcm easy thing tp dorg rasa main bola ni dah mcm permainan lego je yang boleh sesenang hati utk dibentuk. Tgk aje lah video-video ni.

Serie A campaign 2010/11

Serie A campaign has started last month. AS Roma starts the campaign unconvingly after only managed to draw 0-0 with newcomer Cesena. The game at Olimpico sees the capital based club no really threaten the minnow with Vucinic and Menez not really created chances. However, the minnow Cesena almost win the game with Bogdani and Japanese full back Yagatomo shots wide in the second half. Overall, Ranieri side need to do something in their formation especially on attacking side if they need to do repeat last season performance.

Roma 2nd match of the campaign was against the moderate Cagliari. They lost 5-1 in that match where the new signing Argentine defender Nicolas Burdisso sees red with reckless tackle on Daniele Conti, the son of Roma legend Bruno Conti. Conti opened the celebration for Cagliari as early as 8th mins with wonderful long range shot passed Roma out of form keeper Julio Sergio. Roma talisman Daniele de Rossi cancelled out with great header in 18th mins after receive corner from great Francesco Totti. 4 mins later, this is the turning point of the Roma loss after Burdisso reckless tackle on Conti in 6 yard box which see he suffered bad injury and been replaced. Matri completed the spot kick. Acquafresca scored Cagliari 3rd goal at the edge of 1st half. Matri scored his 2nd goal of the match on 49th mins the close range header and Lazzari completed the celebration for home fans with simple tap in to make it Cagliari 5-1 wins against the Roman.

Tonite Roma will be entertain Bologna. Hope they will register 1st win of the new season. Good news is Vucinic back after missing game against Cagliari and Bayern (Champions League) thru' injury.

Me and fantasy football
