Last season’s brilliant performances even earned him a place in Roberto Donadoni’s Italy squad for Euro 2008, , although Marcello Lippi left him out of the recent World Cup qualifiers against Cyprus and Georgia.

It is spoken the transfer fee would be around 18m and that Juventus might also throw Giovinco to gain experience at Sampdoria.

Brazilian legend Jose Altafini, who had an 18-year career in Italy spanning three decades in the 50s, 60s and 70s, has had his say on the summer transfer activity.

He thinks that “Milan bought too much”. “Dinho gives strength to those around him, Quaresma is an element that was missing at Inter, while Riise is very important for Roma.”
He is not so keen on the others move made by Milan though “Poulsen is an average player, while Sheva can go to hell, Milan doesn’t need him,” he concluded.

Altafini is regarded by some as the greatest Brazilian to have ever played in Serie A. He scored 168 goals in 248 matches for Milan between 1958 and 1965, while he later starred for Napoli and Juventus.

The Italian derby ended with a win fot the Torino team after a dramatic comeback. After they grabbed the lead thanks to Del Piero in the 12th minute, Milan scored twice, goals signed Inzaghi 14th and 31st minute.Just before the break,Salihamidzici got the equaliser for Juventus and in the second half , in the 80th minute, he scored again winning the game for the home side

Juventus assures their 3rd place in Seria A, while MIlan is in danger now of losing their 5th place and dropping in 7th place if Sampdoria win today at Reggina and Udinese win at home with AS Rome.

Juventus-Parma was postponed today,after a tragic incident that happened a few hours before the start of the game.A Parma fan, Mattoe Bagnaresi, was ran down by a minibus full with Juventus fans, in a parking lot on A1 highway, between Alessandria and Asti, and died.The incident started from a fight between the supporters , so the minibus driver ran over the 28 year old man, who died in the helicopter that was taking him to the hospital.The 2 clubs agreed not to play the match.In day 12 of the Seria A, Inter - Lazio and Roma - Cagliari were postponed after a Lazio fan was shot dead by a cop on the freeway.

Juventus put the battle for the title back on line in Serie A, after they won at Inter 2-1 ( Maniche ‘83 / Camoranesi ‘49 , Trezeguet ‘63). The leaders of the Italian championship rarely got to Buffon’s goal , the final statistic for “shots on” being 8-3 for Juve , confirming the away team’s superiority.Inter had two good chances ended with a hit of the bar both of them , so they had to admit defeat against  a Juventus that promises to fight for the title next year.Now AS Rome is only 4 points behind from Inter after they won their game against Empoli 2-1.

Fiorentina scored the winning goal in the 93rd minute.

After a good start,scoaring the first goal of the match in the 19th minute,Fiorentina lost ground and Juventus scored twice in the 29th and 57th minute.Waigo scored the equaliser in the 75th minute,and in the last seconds of a dramatic game,Osvaldo grabbed the winning goal in the 93rd minute.The win is even more outstanding after Fiorentina lost Adrian Mutu,injured and on the bench 1 month.
