Moratti still worried about Roma

Inter owner Massimo Moratti has insisted that Roma are good enough to remain in the hunt for the Scudetto.

The Nerazzurri currently lead Serie A by 11 points and have dropped just six points all season as they bid to win their first Scudetto on the pitch since 1989. Most fans and pundits can't see beyond them for the title, yet Moratti believes that there is every chance that Roma could come back to steal the title. "We are doing very well and I am pleased," he said. "However, the season is far from over. Roma are keeping up the pace and continuing to win, so the situation hasn't changed. We must always be cautious and try our hardest to obtain the best result in every match."

Gameweek 23 Review

Inter were not phased by the absence of fans in Verona, securing their record 15th consecutive Serie A victory.The Nerazzurri's bid to continue their 14-match winning streak was played in an empty Stadio Bentegodi due to enhanced security restrictions.

Francesco Totti scored his 139th Serie A goal as Roma comfortably swept Parma aside. 3-0 the result.

Empoli have beaten Palermo in both their meetings this season and a Sergio Almiron goal proved enough in Sicily. The spoils were shared in a disappointing match between Atalanta e Lazio, which may well have been affected by the lack of a crowd.

Ronaldo made his Rossoneri debut and Gennaro Gattuso scored a rare goal as Milan continued their revival. Emergency work on San Siro saw 28 turnstiles installed overnight, bringing the stadium up to the standard where at least the 37,000 season ticket holders could be allowed in despite the drastic new security measures to view Ronaldo's debut. Milan were closing in on a Champions League spot and took on a Livorno side without a win in nine.

According to some bookmakers, the possibility that Fabio Capello will be still at the controls of the “merengues” in occasion of the Champions League match against the Bayern Monaco football club, match planned for the 7th March, is paid 10 times more than a single bet, whereas the possibility that he could be sacked before the match, is paid 6 times the amount bet. On the contrary the possibility that Capello could be still the coach of the Real Madrid football club at the end of the championship is considered less probable by foreign bookmakers. If Capello stayed, people could collect a prize 20 times more than a single bet, his release could pay 4 times the amount bet instead.

Ronaldo will show true class at AC Milan

Posted by Sportingo in Ac Milan
Wednesday, February 7. 2007

The Brazilian goal-den boy with the Midas touch has moved from Real Madrid to AC Milan - and he is out to prove his critics wrong once more.

For years now, we have witnessed the trials and tribulations of Ronaldo Nazario. He's a man whose name is synonymous with the word ‘goal’ - a man who, despite enduring so much criticism and a career cursed with knee injuries, has always come out and proved his critics wrong. Always.

With his recent move to Milan, opinions are polarised as to whether the great man will once again come out and prove his worth in Italy. For the antagonists, he is old and slow, he is the ‘fat one’, consistently referred to in a really immature play on words as Ronaldo McDonaldo. He is the has-been of all has-beens and is criticised as being only a shadow of his former self.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has called off all this weekend's Serie A and Serie B games after a policeman was killed at a match on Friday. A 38-year-old officer died as violence flared during and after the Serie A game between Sicilian rivals Catania and Palermo, which Palermo won 2-1.

Italian prime minister Romano Prodi also issued a statement.

"After the serious incidents that occurred tonight in Catania, my first thought is for the people that have been affected and for their families.I feel a duty to say that we need a strong and clear signal to avoid the degeneration of this sport which we are seeing more dramatically and more often."

The violence continued after the game, in which Palermo beat Catania 2-1.
