Samir Handanovic: "In such situations what we really need is balance "
Today Samir Handanovic seems a much more mature boy (?? He’s only 26 years of age!Kind of “old” for a boy, n’est-ce pas?) then (then?Try “than”) his age, a reference point within the dressing room, a beloved idol for all Udinese supporters…. After a long time we are playing in front of our audience (public, fans, spectators!), we have to take advantage of it".

This comes to us from the January 31st, 2010 edition of Udine’s “Messaggero Veneto” (p. 17). It’s an article on the Grammy Awards.The article concludes by saying that Canada’s very own Neil Young will be given an honorary prize at the ceremony.
I’m particularly happy for old Neil as we both went to the same high school (Kelvin) in Winnipeg, Canada, but for the life of me, I didn’t know that he’s a “country singer”, as the Messaggero Veneto called him!
Pepe’s career starter (how about “started”?) in Roma in 2001-02. The year after he made en exploit (???) in Teramo scoring 11 nets (“goals” perhaps?). He ten (“ten”? Perhaps “then”?) played in Palermo and Piacenza (Serie B) and it was in the latter (“latter”?How about…”and it was in that team….”) that he made the astonishing record of 12 goals out of 30 matches. In 2005-06 Pepe debuted in Serie A first in Palermo’s lineup (“line-up”) and after with Udinese’s.
The next season the Roman forward came to maturity (??) in Cagliari, scoring 3 nets (“goals”?). His first one was against his old team, Palermo. In (the) summer (of) 2007 Udinese hired him for good. During his second experience in Friuli, Pepe has collected success and gratifications (?? How about “satisfaction”?). The coach, Pasquale Marino, both employs (“uses”???)him as a great third forward and as a ”pure” winger thus turning him into a round, versatile player.
Thanks to all the ingredients above (“pepper, salt, vinegar, oil”??), Pepe won the call up for the National Team and debuted with azzurri (“Azzurri”?) in Bulgaria-Italia in Sofia.
Inler Gokhan
Born in Olten (Svizzera “Switzerland”? ) on 27-06-1984, Midfielder
The Swiss midfielder signed with Udinese in summer 2007 and debuted on the first match day at San Siro against Italian Champions (Inter). On his debut, he was one of the best men on the field. Supporters and teammates greatly esteem him as a top level professional. His first season was astonishing: 37 games, 2 nets (nets? Reti? Nets in inglese si dice “goals”.La rete e’ quello che si trova su un campo di tennis, oppure nelle porte di calcio, o nei canestri di basket!), lots of recovered balls, an offensive attitude, a precise, refined, strong foot (scontato foot, almeno che non sia un tiro con la testa)shot. It was in Switzerland that he made his debut in 2006 with his National team uniform. He has already played 29 games with the Swiss team. In the 2008-08 season, he performed at high levels in Europe: 12 caps, 2 nets in UEFA Cup. His first UEFA net was in Dortmund (0-2 to Borussia) and the next at home to Werder Brema (3-3 draw) during the round of eight qualification. Inler will probably be one of the many bianconeri to take part into South Africa 2010 tournment (how about “tournament”?), next year.
For those who have lived in Italy well, they’ll certainly understand the meaning of this post’s title. For those who don’t know anything about Italy, I’ve very loosely and (erroneously) translated the title into “I am graduated with A+”!
Udinese basically “uncovered” their translator in a letter to the editor the other day, a woman (the name is being withheld to protect the guilty!) who states that a) she graduated, or “laureated” ,from one of Italy’s BEST language and literature faculties (the University of Udine) and b) with top grades too!Look for yourselves at the result of Italy’s “higher education”!
Shed (“shed”? You mean you can actually watch a match in a small arena from a shed? Together perhaps with cows, goats, pigs, geese and what not?) €3 Free Tribune (???? Like the press?) €5 Reserved Tribune (????) €7 Parterre €15 Golden Parterre €20
Afternoon session for the Napoli at Castelvolturno in view of the away match at Livorno for the second return day.
Finish training and departure to the Tuascany (or “Tuscany”?).
Bogliacino (muscle fatigue) and Hoffer (sprain to the right ankle) have worked separated (are they twins??) and there will (or “they’ll….”?) be not present at the match so like Rinaudo and Quagliarella disqualified. To the group that leave to Livorno have been joined three 'babies' (????)of the Primavera: Liccardo (midfielder, shirt 35), Maiello (midfielder, shirt 91) and Insigne (forward, shirt 34)
