Wishing night?

It’s wishing night!

Christmas Eve has always been a wishing night (???). The wishes of Udinese’s supporters are well-known: they all hope to continue ammiring ("admiring"?) this great Udinese: we know their hearts, their wills (is someone going to die because they have to leave a will????), their pride will be always at the top!

Pinzi: “We proved what we can do, on Wednesday we are to win” (“we have to win”?)

Giampiero Pinzi is happy at the end of the match with Lazio for the decisive goal he scored: “I don’t score much, it’s my flaw. I’m happy, even if I scored it to my Lazio (“if I scored it against my Lazio”?). Our goals? We can have fun, we proved to be at the level of (“at the same level”?) AC Milan, Juventus and Lazio themselves. There is nothing to lose, we’ll be daredevil (“daredevils against”?) to Juventus, eager to win. We are a great group. A prevision (???, how about “prediction”????) for Wednesday? We win, 2-0”.

Guidolin: “Proud of my squad”

Pinzi’s goal allows Udinese to conquer one point to remain in the upper part of the ranking (“standings”?). “We made a mistake when we conceded the first goal, with all the defence lined up – Guidolin said after the match – but Benatia is still one of the best defenders of our championship, a reliable player. As we took the lead, we began playing better and Lulic’s goal gave Lazio a hope. In the second half we did our best and we achieved the well-deserved draw”.
Why did Di Natale made (“make”?) a late appearance?
“We are the only Italian team to have played three matches in six days and I have to take in consideration a number of factors. I can count upon extraordinary players who are able to give me satisfaction”.
Thirty-one points after 15 weeks. Have you started thinking big?
“I’m proud of my squad, enthusiast (“enthusiastic”?). I think AC Milan and Juventus will outdistance us in the end because they are stronger than us, but we’ll do our best to stay up there as long as possible and to give Juventus some troubles (“trouble”?) on Wednesday”.
Udinese have conquered 74 points this year.
“An unbelievable result coming from hard work” (“which comes from hard work”?).

Udinese-Juve: 61 years after the first challenge

There have been 39 matches played between Udinese and Juventus at the “Friuli” stadium in Udine (37 – Serie A; 2 - Coppa Italia). The score sees Juventus ahead with 22 wins – all championship ones – while the two Coppa Italia matches were both draws.

The first challenge between two of the most ancient teams (“ancient”? Why not “oldest”?) of the Serie A was played on 17 December 1950: Juventus got a 3-0 win thanks to Hansen and Boniperti.

The first win for Udinese came on 10 March 1957 with a clear 3-0: the goals were scored by Frignani, Pantaleo and Secchi, the squad was then coached by Giuseppe Bigogno.

It is peculiar to find out (“to know”?) that the total of the goals scored by the two teams when facing each other is 100: 70 scored by Juventus, 30 by Udinese.

Taking a closer look to (“a closer look at”?) the past 5 years, the score is more balanced than the past: Udinese managed to win in 2008-09 and 2009-10. The last precedent is last year’s 4-0 which came in (“during”?) a delicate period for Guidolin’s squad, which from then on started an extraordinary course that brought it to the final fourth place.

Pablo Armero: “We are down to earth. Guidolin? Talented”

The win upon Chievo (“against Chievo”?) allows Udinese to be back at the top of the ranking in anticipation of Monday’s match between Juventus and Roma. “We are down to earth because we haven’t done anything yet – Pablo Armero says after Udinese-Chievo -. It wasn’t easy today, they played well and I think it’s normal to have difficulties (“difficulty”?) in facing Di Carlo’s squad. We played smartly, we managed the possession of the ball and we tried to get some new ways to hit them”.
What did the coach tell you in the locker room?

“He asked us to turn the page and focus on Celtic. We’ll train tomorrow afternoon. That’s how he’s done (“done?” or “That’s how he is”?), he’s a talented coach”.
Three more matches before the break. Which is your target?
“None. We’ll have to stay focused until the 21st, then we’ll be on holiday”.
“Despite your preference for the front line, you’re doing well also as a defender. How can you be good at both (“positions”)?
“I like striking, but I know I have important defensive skills too. My team-mates do rely on me, I can’t let them down”.

Udinese Calcio’s wishes to the media

Last night, at the restaurant of the Stadio Friuli, there was a dinner dedicated to the media that follow Udinese Calcio. A chance to take stock of the great season with the hope for it to (“also”?) continue also in 2012.

Udinese’s General Director Franco Collavino, alongside the Administrative Director Alberto Rigotto, welcomed all those present: “I’d love to thank you (we would usually say: “I’d like to thank you”) for the closeness you’ve showed (“shown”?) in following us in Italy and abroad, with great professionalism in this (??) 2011 which has been giving us a lot of joy. It is one of the best years of (“in”?) our history. 2012 seems to be promising from several points of view”.

The mayor of Udine, Furio Honsell, guest of the night (“evening”?), underlined the importance of the media to make a feature of the club and the city both in Italy and abroad: “I wish a merry Christmas (“Merry Christmas”) to the Pozzo family and all (“to all of”?) Udinese. Even if I’m not an expert of the media (“even if I’m not a media expert”?), I know what this team means for the city of Udine. Football is a global language, if it is spoken well, it is understood all over the world. This team has something brilliant. Pozzo is a genius of sportive management (“sports management”?) and the structure that lies behind him is also more incredible. He’d have to be studied at school (!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perhaps at Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge…). I hope the works (“work”) for the renewal of the stadium can start in 2012 so that we can celebrate next Christmas in the shadow of the cranes” (birds or machines?).

New Generation Day, an unforgettable one.

The New Generation wrote another beautiful page in its history today. Udinese’s young supporters, led by the project manager Michele De Sabata, touched the grass of the Stadio Friuli and watched the training of the First Team and its friendly match against Monfalcone. Finally they sat on the benches of their darlings (??. What about “heroes”?) in the locker room of the squad. The amazing adventure came to an end at the stadium’s auditorium where Udinese’s supporters met the General Director Franco Collavino who welcomed all of them. “Dear boys, Udinese Calcio decided, at the beginning of this season, to reinforce the project you’re in, the “Young supporters growing up”, which is now called “New Generation”, in order to let you know better and closer this wonderful sport, football, and to make you love your city team. It is an innovative initiative, strongly wanted by the Pozzo family. The rich program you subscribed in September is letting you follow all the home matches played by Udinese, meet our splendid players, have fun during the 90 minutes on the stands and become friends” (indeed a most “logical” phrase!).

Before the final greetings, the New Generation decided to give the players, who were coming back to the locker room, a lovely applause. “Every Sunday your joyful support is a boost in the players’ legs – Collavino said -. Don’t ever stop supporting your favourite players! Follow the advices for an healthy (“a healthy”?), correct and non-violent support, as Michele De Sabata and his colleagues tell you, and remember that supporting Udinese means rooting for your favourite team, it doesn’t mean being against another team. You represent the supporters of the future. Today you’ve had the chance to live a unique experience and see what happens behind the curtains of a great team. Don’t forget that, because what you see in the ninety minutes is nothing compared to the great organization that lies behind a squad” (indeed, like the organization behind their web site in English!!!).

Finally, an happy (“a happy”?) wish to all: “I use the occasion to wish a merry Christmas (“Merry Christmas”?) and a happy (but here they wrote “a happy”!) new year (“New Year”?) to all of you and your families”.

Guidolin: “Never look back, let’s close this page and focus on Chievo”

After the win at the San Siro (“Stadium”?), coach Francesco Guidolin comments on the great performances of this year’s Udinese: “We’d better not look back. It’s something I heard yesterday and I want it to be clear. The present and future will tell if we’re able to play for an important place in the ranking. Time, opponents, matches will tell us (“and matches will tell us”?). The future is yet to be written. We’re living a magic moment and we’ll do anything we can to make it last. We know we’ll find determined opponents on our way, it’s a part of this sport, we just have to look forward and focus on Chievo. I’m proud of the men I coach, but on Sunday there’s another battle to fight”.
How does it feel to be told by the president that the coach is the real world beater?

“I can’t hide (“I can’t hide it”?) I’m really pleased. There’s a good feeling between me and the club, as well as with the fans. It is the players who take the pitch and they are the ones who on Saturday night made an excellent second half with freshness (??), initiative and the right attitude: I’ll give this compliment to my squad”.

This squad seems to be mature. Success comes from sacrifice and details: what do you think of Ferronetti’s reaction?

“We didn’t give this signal in Parma (??), we have to keep calm. We played a great second half in Milan, we were getting things a bit complicated in the final part, not only for Ferronetti. I will have to evaluate a few things with our squad, a team focusing on great targets needs to handle these situations better. We need to grow more and continue working, developing a cure for details” )??).

Roma and Inter defeated without scoring a goal. Danilo’s performance was great.

“Everyone has done something for that, also the players who don’t play all the times (“all the time”?), who gives us the chance to work hard. Danilo has become integrated pretty soon, he’s serious and professional.

San Siro, 7 years later the taboo is debunked

Seven years and none (None? Maybe "nine" would be a wee bit better?) months later, Udinese have defeated Inter at the “San Siro”.

Figure?

Isla: “Criticism was useful to us”

After the matches with his national team, after the defeat in Parma, Udinese’s fans could finally look at Mauricio Isla as he was showing all his qualities. The Chilean has made a brilliant performance: running, hunger (??), speed, goal. “I wanted to make up for the poor figure (as in "brutta figura"?) in Parma – he says -. Criticism was right and it helped us growing ("to grow"?). I’m happy for the goal and for the win, our fans deserves ("deserve"?) it”.

What do you think of Abdi’s performance?
“He is a talented player, it’s not easy to play behind Totò, but he did so perfectly”.
What did the coach ask you before the match?
“To be mean. Roma are strong when possessing the ball”.
You’re going to France next…
“We’ll go there to play a good match and get the qualification”.

Naples...

Well, they may very well be perfect with their match against M. City, but as far as their English is concerned, hmm...

"Perfect Napoli and wonderful San Paolo". Paolo Cannavaro keeps in a few incisive words the shivering night in the match against Manchester. The captain said on Radio Marte his emotions are still alive ...

"A memorable match and an important victory. Football thankfully is not an exact science and we gave proof that with planning and intelligence you can get great results. They aren't enough money to win and often is more important a plan to go far. Against Manchester we were perfect, we had in front world champions but we were able to make the game in our way.It's a great result and shows how the group is growing. Mazzarri was quiet, too, he saw us full of energy and knew in his heart that we had a great performance, beyond the result".

"On Tuesday, the San Paolo was exceptional. Since years I'm in Napoli team but this stadium always astonishes me. When I went on field for the warm up I heard the roar from the enrty steps and it was an incredible shiver. Our audience is unique. If after our goal a Slovenian linesman speaks to me in Italian and tells me 'here you are crazy', it means that there isn't a public like this in the world. I thank them not only for the evening of Tuesday, but for these wonderful years in which we went up to the Champions League. I remember all the more exciting matches, from promotion to date. And our fans have supported us in this wonderful ride"

"But now let's enjoy the moment but look forward without exalt . It's lacking one day at the end of the round and we expect a tough match in Spain. We are facing teams that never give up and always have a winning mentality. It will be tough both for us against Villarreal and for Manchester against Bayern. It's everything to play"

Meanwhile,now there's Bergamo ... "Since today we'll think Atalanta. The hardest match is always what comes first. Saturday we will find an opponent in great condition which is the revelation of the season. It will be hard and we have to be at best to continue also in the championship on our way. The season is long and we want to live it as protagonists"

Guidolin: “Need to improve our away performances”

The defeat suffered in Parma stops the running (???) of Udinese at the top of the ranking. “I thought I had touched the right chord when preparing this match – Udinese’s coach says -, but we didn’t manage to express ourselves as we usually do. We knew we were not a team that could fight for the first places ("top places"?), we never thought differently. We have troubles (troubles? Like in Northern Ireland?) facing anybody when we don’t fight tooth and nail”.

Is there a different attitude between home and away matches? “I have to work hard so that my squad is the same one in home and away matches as it was last year. We actually performed better in away matches last year. We can’t underestimate this detail”.

Chicago Club and basketball?

From the November 7th, 2011 edition (p. 61) of La Repubblica and an article by Maria Pia Fusco on Alex Gibney's new movie, "Catching Hell".

The movie talks about a baseball fan, Steve Bartman, who disrupted a World Series match. Fusco mentions that the team involved in the 2003 match was the Chicago CLUB and that it was during the BASKETBALL championship!

The article includes a picture. In the picture you can clearly see a glove and a baseball! The sport in fact IS baseball and the team is only the Chicago CUBS and NOT CLUB as Fusco sustains in her article!

The full story on what happened that day:

The nightmarish experience of Chicago Cubs fan Steve Bartman can happen to any fan. That's the sobering message of ESPN Films' new documentary, Catching Hell, that premiered Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.

If you think there's nothing new to say about the infamous foul ball deflected by Bartman during Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series at Wrigley Field, think again. This disturbing new documentary by Alex Gibney brilliantly captures the thin line between love and hate that beats in the heart of many sports fans. And the phenomenon of scapegoating.

With the Lovable Losers only five outs from the World Series, the film shows with crime scene-like detail how Bartman and other fans reached for a foul pop headed for the glove of Cubs outfielder Moises Alou. The ball deflected away -- sending Alou off into a tirade. The Florida Marlins came back to win Game 6. The fans at the "Friendly Confines" turned into an angry mob one eyewitness compares to the pitchfork-bearing villagers in Frankenstein. (Video after jump)

Bartman, a meek, bespectacled Little League coach, is showered with beer, curses and death threats. He's escorted away for his own protection. As he flees with a jacket over his head, one fan urges him to blow his own head off with a shotgun.

The film shows in minute detail how Bartman wasn't the only reaching for the ball. (Another fan got it and sold it for $100,000). Cubs shortstop Alex Gonzalez booted an easy grounder. The Cubs could still have won the decisive Game 7. But it was Bartman who had to be escorted from Wrigley in disguise to save him from furious fans.

Bartman, a lifelong Cubs fan, apologized in a written statement and asked fellow fans for forgiveness. Good luck with that. He's still called the most hated man in Chicago. His face adorns dart boards. One fan compared his "evil" to that of the September 11th hijackers. He stayed in the Chicago area but has lived as a semi-recluse ever since becoming, as one interviewee says, the "J.D. Salinger" of Chicago.

The saddest part? Out of everybody involved, from Alou who egged on fans with his reaction to Fox broadcaster Steve Lyons to the TV producers who showed his face over and over, Bartman's acted the most honorably. He's never tried to cash in on the incident although he's been offered hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell his story.

At the after-party, New York Giants tight end Kevin Boss said he just wanted to give Bartman "a hug" after watching the film. Gibney noted it would serve Chicago right if the Cubs threw a "Steve Bartman Day" and the man of honor decided not to show up.

Guidolin: “Let’s forget Madrid and turn a new page”

Guidolin looks quite gloomy after the loss at the “Vicente Calderon”: “We are sorry we did a poor figure (???) in front of our fans – the coach says -. There are still two matches to be played, our qualification will be decided in the next 180 minutes. Our squad is very young, and the youth (??) has no experience. We were too shy on the pitch and we paid for it. We made several mistakes in the first half and got punished by Atletico Madrid. I’m not disappointed in the guys, my choices, my responsibility. Let’s forget about this poor figure (and what kind of "figure" would be better, a "figure 8" for example?), let’s turn a new page and focus on the championship, Siena are waiting for us in three days”.

Capello: “Udinese are an expression of European football”

“Udinese will be provoking this year (provoking whom?), it is a long path, a precise attitude is needed, but they are a dangerous, though calm, club”.

Fabio Capello is praising Guidolin’s squad, but he doesn’t say anything about a possible shield (???). “Udinese are real, both the managers and the coach are very skilled. They sold their best three players, if they had kept them, they could have won the championship. I saw them playing against Arsenal and they proved to be an expression of European football, as well as Italian. The club is concrete: Udinese start their schedule two years in advance (“have started…”?), they sell if they know they have the necessary substitutes: Udinese never need to buy anyone in January”.

Capello also said that the current championship “is quite interesting, I think Juve and Roma are the favoured (“are the favorite”?), because they are not playing any extra competition (“they are not playing IN any extra competition”?). Milan are competitive, they have a vast squad (“large squad”?) and they could win too. The level is high, the football played is different now, when you have less resources, you make a better selection of the players” (“The level is high and the football that is played is different now. When you have less resources to work with you make a better selection of the (or “your”) players”?).

Naples this time!

Oh, boy, I'm not going to even TRY correcting this press release (after Naples's game against the mighty Germans)!!


Naples - The stranger doesn't pass. The line of San Paolo bounces the German Army and lights up the night of Fuorigrotta with a match of heart and soul. Naples A great Napoli that fights, climbs, plays and swells his chest in front of Bayern Monaco. It ends 1-1 but we scored two goals. The firstafter a plane flight of Top Gun, Christian Maggio, who makes explode the San Paolo and goes to make his bow before the people into a frenzy. Then De Sanctis to restore the balance of justice after that the Portuguese referee had whistled a penalty for a hand foul of Cannavaro that is not-existent. And so Morgan has saved the penalty of Gomez and got the hands on the match as if he were a real bomber. The Pirate exults, with the ball clutched to his chest and the fist raised to heaven because he has scored his first 'goal' in the Champions League. Their goalkeeper Neuer hadn't goals from the August 7, now he takes one that is valid for three months. And above all it is the full blue hope to play the Europe on the Champions' table until the end. The adventure continues.The stranger doesn't pass. The Warriors are us!

Padove?

I'm NOT going to go too much into detail on this one from Udinese, but they write "Padove" in the headline and then "Padova". Udinese's youth team played in two different cities at the same time?

25-09-2011 - 12:17

Youth Team, great recovery in Padove

Padova 2 – 3 Udinese
Padova: Ruffato, Girdavainis, Beccaro, Tessari (28 2h Longato), Beccaro, De Biasi, Cavallini, Jidayi, Diakite, Radrezza (38 2h Voltan), Zanetti (42 2h Beghetto). Coach: Pavaretto
Udinese: Giannakopulos, Sbardella, Cudicio (41 1h Corrado), Damo, Bello, Raffa (1 2h Sellan), Marsura, Battocchio, Piscopo (38 2h Reinthaller), Bedin, D'Inca. Unused subs: Provedel, Simonin, Migliorini, Serini. Coach: Walem
Scorers : 5 1h Jidayi, 45 1h Jidayi; 5 2h Bedin, 17 2h Battocchio, 24 2h D'Inca.
Referee: Benedetti from Mestre
Notes: Corners 7-6 in favour of Udinese. Injury time: 2 and 2

BRESSEODI TEOLO – Coach Walem’s youth team repeats 2 weeks ago’s success against Cesena and comes back from Padova with three points. Padova make a good start and take the lead in the 5th minute with Jidayi (taken from the first team), who manages to double the score in the 45th minute.
In the second half, Udinese start with another attitude and Bedin and Battocchio manage to catch Padova and get themselves the draw. There is no time for celebrating, as they are attacking on Padova again: in the 24th minute Udinese’s D’Inca scores the third goal.
“It was an intense match – coach Walem says proudly -. I’m very happy with how my players reacted in the second half. Padova were strong and ready to fight, but with our good recovery we managed to overturn the result”.

He died at the age of 73. Aveni, native (“a native”?) of Messina, had obtained the specialisation in Sports Medicine a few years after his graduation and, later, a specialization in Urology, General Surgery and Vascular Surgery.
