“In Parma a very good performance (how about: “We had a very good performance in Parma”?)
Paolo Sammarco: “We tried hard to win, we did our best and created some good chances to score. We only ran the risk of suffering a penalty ”.
The bianconero midfielder is a little upset for yesterday’s draw against Parma, but he is also conscious (or “aware that..”?) something has changed in Udinese’s attitude during their latest matches: “We created some good occasions to score. Both yesterday and against Lazio we would have deserved to win, but the important thing is that we have shown a new motivation. Yesterday in Parma we did a very good performance (how about “we played well”?. We only ran the risk of suffering a penalty. Once one of their men was red carded, Parma only wanted to defend. We tried hard to win until the last minute and did our best for the whole (or “entire”) 90 (90 what?? Minute perhaps?) game”.
Udinese’s new attidude (is it a “dude” or is it an “attitude”?) is the right one: “You always have to be rational, (“and”) clear-minded. In difficult moments, the slightest mistake may prove fatal. Now we have to try to be accurate and united to seek the net (which “net”? The tennis one?. We do not have to concede goals”.
Next Sunday our adversary at Friuli (how about “Stadio Friuli” or “Friuli’s stadium”?) is Delneri’s (“isn’t his last name “Del Neri”?) Sampdoria: “Despite the difficult moment Samp are living, we cannot expect them to be afraid of facing us. They have high quality players and they come here to win (“and they’ll be coming here to win”??). Our approach this season cannot be compared (“compared” to what exactly?): they started very well and then have slowed down, while Udinese have never actually found continuity in their results. It will be an interesting match because they usually adopt the 4-4-2 tactical scheme, as we do. Our advantage is to play a home match, in front of our numerous supporters.”

“We must come back from Parma with some good points”
“Parma is not living a good moment, (why, someone has died??Not living a good moment?“Parma’s not going through a great period or moment” would be better) although they have been the revelation (as in the Bible?) team of the first half of the season. There is still some time to think about Milan.”
Giovanni Pasquale finally got the chance to play during the glorious match for the round of sixteen of Coppa Italia against Lumezzane: “It is because of Siqueira’s injury that I got the possibility to play from the first minute. I do not feel at 100%, (literal translation from “Non mi sento al 100%”) but I am working to find the right balance”. Bianconeri are facing Milan at san (“San” is not lower-case “s”) Siro for the round of eight now: “Yesterday’s victory made us feel more motivated and confident. I would say that against Lumezzane we did a good performance (“we had a good performance”?): we were concrete, (“and…”) made some right choices on the pitch. The important thing was to pass the round, and we did it. Now we are facing Milan, they would do their (“they’ll do their best…”) best to get to the semifinals and I do not think they will spare energies thinking about the imminent local derby. We really want to play this competition from beginning to end, but first, we are playing the league match against Parma this coming Sunday at (“the”) Tardini stadium”. Pasquale adds: “It won’t be an easy match although they have suffered three defeats in a row since they have showed (“shown”?) they can play really good football. We have to go there fearless and show who we are (“and show them who we are”). It is our duty to play with the right determination and spirit. Our aim is to come back with some good points.” In the end (what or whose end?), a word about the squad: “We are united, we are all going in the same direction and feel the same deep affection for our uniform”

The Blue Week
by Bruno Marra
We're Stars'sons. Splendid the expressive vividness of Walter Mazzarri after the crazy match of Udine. “It was written in the stars, in the moon, in the destiny, who knows where. But it was written we had to lose”. Very strange.
People, from today on we have to lear to leaft the horoscope, don't advise with great classic “Love, Health and Money” but go on until the entry “penalties and expulsions”. It would be pioneer and not only useful, to insert the Paolo Fox's column in the corner of the slow-motion. So just to go on with the job, to well value the forecasts and to avoid the unpredictable hangs over us.
The true is that Mazzarri has not lost, neither on field nor outside. He is a so great person that not only has revolutionized the history but also the communication way. The Napoli responds to the whistle with carnival's smiles. Relaxion and irony, genius and fantasy. Among many rumors, we catch the deep sense of the meritorious sagacity. This is style, please. The positive series of the Soul Man never is finished. It continues Honoris Causa.
"The course of the first moon" and " Saturn against" meet in the Udine's sky a bit before 4.00 p.m. Denis kicks a great cross, Quagliarella with an header knocks on his 'old net' :sensational crossbar. On the ball Maggio, who wants to score his second goal, but it is not the 'Isla bonita'. The defender breaks down on him. There is not a dagger on his back, but a deep cut on the ankle. The red of his blood is on the red card. The shame of the destiny. And the stars look at…
What is the ball. Quagliarella hits the crossbar and Maggio is sent off. Pazienza kicks the goalpost and on the other side Di Natale scores. Two 'match point' become two punches in the stomach. But it is just in the day of the first defeat of the Mazzarri's Age that the Napoli appears stronger than before. Standig ovation for this team with a so big heart.
Sunday evening the time will stop in the love's city. “Heat - The challenge”: Jose Felix Mourinho and Walter Mazzarri. The 'Mou' and the ' Maz'. The 'white collar worker' from Setubal and the 'wolf' from the Maremma. The edonism and the spartan. The Special One and the Soul Man. The championship's Heat and the Neapolitan Renaissance's Soul.
The Night Warriors against the International Army. We have done it and we do gain it. The last kiss in the last year. There is the 'blue' brand on that championship shield.
Valentine's day 2010: sixty thousand hearts. Fuorigrotta burns of Passion, the San Paolo will sing ‘o Primm Ammore'. A star that expolodes at the sky border. A light, a flame that inflames the dawn. Kiss me again…
