Serie A Season Preview 3/4

Lecce:

Club Information:

Full name: Unione Sportiva Lecce
Nicknames: Giallorossi (Yellow-Reds), Salentini (Salentians); Lupi (Wolves)
Founded: March 15, 1908
Ground: Stadio Via del Mare
Chairman: Giovanni Semeraro
Manager: Mario Beretta
League: Serie A

Serie A 2008-09 Information:

Serie A 2007-08 Finish: Promoted Team (Serie B, 3rd)
Expected Target For Serie A 2008-09: Serie A Survival
Expected 2008-09 Finish: 15th
Key Player: Antonio Rosati

Serie A 2008-09 Expectations Breakdown:

Based on the results of the 2007-08 season, Lecce are the worst team in Serie A, yet we predict they will be the only predicted side to stay up this year. The reason for this is that they have more Serie A experience and we feel that will save their necks. I wouldnt be surprised if Adrenaline carried them till midseason, but after that, the horror set in and then they got close to being relegated. But, I am almost sure they will stay up.

AC Milan:

Club Information:

Full name: Associazione Calcio Milan
Nicknames: Rossoneri ("Red-blacks"), il Diavolo ("the Devil")
Founded: December 16, 1899
Ground: San Siro
Owner: Silvio Berlusconi
President: Vacant
Head Coach: Carlo Ancelotti
League: Serie A

Serie A 2008-09 Information:

Serie A 2007–08 Finish: 5th
Expected Target For Serie A 2008-09: League Tittle
Expected 2008-09 Finish: 3rd
Key Player: Kaka

Serie A 2008-09 Expectations Breakdown:

AC Milan were last seasons dissapointments, they didnt even make the Champions League. With the addition of Ronaldinho, they will look to make it right, and we are sure they can. UCL Qualification is almost gauranteeed, but the league title is leagues away. Local giants Inter are just too hot to handle for this aging Milan side.

Napoli:

Club Information:

Full name: Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli
Nicknames: Azzurri (blues), Partenopei
Founded: 1904
Ground: Stadio San Paolo
Chairman: Aurelio De Laurentiis
Manager: Edoardo Reja
League: Serie A

Serie A 2008-09 Information:

Serie A 2007–08 Finish: 8th
Expected Target For Serie A 2008-09: UEFA Cup Spot
Expected 2008-09 Finish: 7th
Key Player: Lavezzi

Serie A 2008-09 Expectations Breakdown:

Napoli did well last year, and we tip them to do even better this year. They should have come along a place simply because of the experience of last season. Whether they can do better than that is doubtful, but Lavezzi will be key. If they dont watch out for their results, and a Milan comes in in January, he is gone. It all depends on their form, which seems to be looking up.

Palermo:

Club Information:

Full name: Unione Sportiva Città di Palermo
Nicknames: Rosanero ("Pink-blacks"), Aquile ("Eagles")
Founded: 1900
Ground: Stadio Renzo Barbera
Chairman: Maurizio Zamparini
Head Coach: Davide Ballardini
League: Serie A

Serie A 2008-09 Information:

Serie A 2007–08 Finish: 11th
Expected Target For Serie A 2008-09: Top 10 Finish
Expected 2008-09 Finish: 9th
Key Player: Samir Ujkani

Serie A 2008-09 Expectations Breakdown:

Narrowly away from the top half last year, it will surely be Palermos target this year. Will they be able to do it, we are pretty sure. Loosing Amauri was a big blow, but this team has guts, and will probably handle it well. The coach is a good man, and should steer his team away from a much dreaded relegation battle by November.

Reggina:

Club Information:

Full name: Reggina Calcio
Nicknames: Amaranto (Dark-reds)
Founded: 1914
Ground: Stadio Oreste Granillo
Chairman: Pasquale Foti
Manager: Nevio Orlandi
League: Serie A

Serie A 2008-09 Information:

Serie A 2007–08 Finish: 16th
Expected Target For Serie A 2008-09: Serie A Survival
Expected 2008-09 Finish: 14th
Key Player: Christian Puggioni

Serie A 2008-09 Expectations Breakdown:

What can you say about this team? They are about as consistant as a vertical line, sometimes up and sometimes down. Last year was horrible, but they have learned and should be ready to fight away relegation and finish mid table.

Robalenko · 05-03-2009, 01:29 AM

Such lovely badges

I don't get it. Aren't vertical lines always constant?

Robalenko · 05-03-2009, 01:32 AM

I have Ahmer's permission to use them, but I'm trying to resist

Serie A Season Preview 4/4

AS Roma:

Club Information:

Full name: Associazione Sportiva Roma
Nicknames: i Giallorossi (the Yellow-reds), La Magica (The Magic), i Lupi (the Wolves)
Founded: July 22, 1927
Ground: Stadio Olimpico
President: Rosella Sensi
Head Coach: Luciano Spalletti
League: Serie A

Serie A 2008-09 Information:

Serie A 2007-08 Finish: 2nd
Expected Target For Serie A 2008-09: Top 4 Finish
Expected 2008-09 Finish: 5th
Key Player: Francesco Totti

Serie A 2008-09 Expectations Breakdown:

The romans flew high last year, but lost the tittle on the last day of the season. This year, they should fall back a few places with their degeneration with the loss of Mancini and other teams progression. The man who lives and breathes Roma can save them, but is Totti going to be fit?

Sampdoria:

Club Information:

Full name: Unione Calcio Sampdoria
Nicknames: Blucerchiati (blue-ringed)
Founded: August 1, 1946
Ground: Stadio Luigi Ferraris
Chairman: Riccardo Garrone
Manager: Walter Mazzarri
League: Serie A

Serie A 2008-09 Information:

Serie A 2007–08 Finish: 6th
Expected Target For Serie A 2008-09: UEFA Cup Spot
Expected 2008-09 Finish: 6th
Key Player: Antonio Cassano

Serie A 2008-09 Expectations Breakdown:

A Fantastic team is present, great manager too. They can even try to get 4th, but thats unrealistic in many ways. With Cassano up top, they need to try and get the ball that far up, and I am sure they can, good luck to this fantastic team.

Siena:

Club Information:

Full name: Associazione Calcio Siena
Nicknames: Bianconeri ("White-black"), Robur ("Strength")
Founded: 1904
Ground: Stadio Artemio Franchi
Chairman: Giovanni Lombardi Stronati
Head Coach: Marco Giampaolo
League: Serie A

Serie A 2008-09 Information:

Serie A 2007–08 Finish: 13th
Expected Target For Serie A 2008-09: Top 10 Finish
Expected 2008-09 Finish: 10th
Key Player: Fernando Martin Forestieri

Serie A 2008-09 Expectations Breakdown:

Siena have gone with a youth poicy and are raising hidden gems like Forestieri, their luck is centered around how he does, so the only question for them is, How will he do? We think he will accel and possibly leave next summer, what do you?

Torino:

Club Information:

Full name: Torino Football Club 1906
Nicknames: I Granata (The Maroons), Il Toro (The Bull)
Founded: 1906
Ground: Stadio Olimpico
Chairman: Urbano Cairo
Head Coach: Walter Novellino
League: Serie A

Serie A 2008-09 Information:

Serie A 2007–08 Finish: 15th
Expected Target For Serie A 2008-09: Serie A Survival
Expected 2008-09 Finish: 15th
Key Player: Rolando Bianchi

Serie A 2008-09 Expectations Breakdown:

What can you say about Torino? They are amongst the most boring teams in Serie A. They dont play the beautiful game, and they are always, and I mean always, fighting relegation. No master plans here, and while we think they wont, we can only hope for their relegation...

Udinese:

Club Information:

Full name: Udinese Calcio
Nicknames: Bianconeri ("White-blacks"), Zebrette ("little zebras")
Founded: 1896
Ground: Stadio Friuli
Owner: Giampaolo Pozzo
Chairman: Franco Soldati
Head Coach: Pasquale Marino
League: Serie A

Serie A 2008-09 Information:

Serie A 2007–08 Finish: 7th
Expected Target For Serie A 2008-09: UEFA Cup Spot
Expected 2008-09 Finish: 6th
Key Player: Antonio Di Natale

Serie A 2008-09 Expectations Breakdown:

Di Natale is aging, this is amongst his final chances to get this team into Europe, the question is, can he? The other players are mighty good too, like Gokhan Inler. This is a team to be reckoned with, the question is will they?

SPEKZ · 05-03-2009, 01:39 AM

Ahmer50 · 05-03-2009, 01:40 AM

Thanks Anfield, I may be able to do a preview now for my first game...

Ahmer50 · 05-03-2009, 02:09 AM

@ Robalenko: I have started looking into what positions I lack players in, and some hammers are potential January targets
