The c.t. blue, for the whole game, gestured, encouraged, suffered almost blown to push the ball behind Hart hit by Pellè. In the end, he did not win the friendly match with England, but his playing staff yes: “For me it was very emotional return to Juventus Stadium. It ‘was a blast from the past beautiful and important, that I will never forget – said after the 1-1 of the National in Turin -. Yesterday workout I remembered the things I’ve done so many times in the past three years. The gate, the locker room, the bench with that area of ​​grass consumed from my move back and forth … are indelible memories. “

the past that returns – Inevitable questions on the meeting with leaders Juventus, after the controversy and days “Bulgarians” agitated “With Agnelli and Marotta we met before the game, it was a pleasure as always, we went back to the past – he says -. The incident with John Elkann? We did not talk to me is an episode already closed. “

unbeatable – Then you go analysis of the match: “Sorry for the draw because we could gather more views occasions, but I’m happy because I had the chance to see so many players over the 90 minutes. We have to believe in these guys, waiting for them, be patient and let them grow, even through games like this. Now we must try to give more continuity to our game. In the second half took over a little ‘tired, that cost us the goal conceded. Already I was sorry Italy in Bulgaria, there we made the match and conceded two goals on the break. Today was a friendly luxury against a strong team, oiled and with players of high international level. England this year had won 7 games on 7, both we and our opponents have maintained their unbeaten. Fair result, I think people have seen a game enjoyable. Only in the second half of the race we lowered a bit ‘too much. “

to EUR 2016 – When asked to what extent his project blue, Conte’s answer: “It ‘s too early to percentages. We are expanding the park players, we have guys who have to take a course and even some ‘musata’ to grow stronger. They pride these guys, we take the blue jersey. Pellè showed that international experience serving time, while Valdifiori, Soriano and Eder also are names that have been proposed very well in the last period. Valdifiori is the perfect example of what the commitment of a player worth more than the curriculum … has played a great match, although it was his debut in the national team. “

Balotelli and other – Finally, his hand extended to the excluded:” I did not see the players for four months, some are spontaneous play with time, I try to give an impression that leads us to be ‘team’ and ‘selection’ – is the idea of ​​ct -. Balotelli? They are always attentive to what happens in all leagues and I do not close the door to anyone, I can not even afford it. A chance everyone has those who demonstrate in their club and here you want the blue shirt. Balotelli, Borini, Giovinco and Osvaldo are not cut off, but must launch important messages. We will be ready to pick them up. “

There’s Italy-England, Earl looks beyond – Morning Padua

SENT IN TURIN. Friendly? Not too much. Wicked? Yeah, like Albion, but not only. Because the enemy is within us, seems to emphasize the expression almost melancholy that Antonio Conte offers the public the eve of Sofia, that of ‘ affaire Marchisio. And so tonight’s game against England’s Roy Hodgson , a very classical from football history at the Juventus Stadium, modern temple of the gladiators of the ball, it becomes the game of Antonio Conte.

Yeah, the Italian coach returns to his home, but not in the family because the Old Lady has not absorbed the stormy divorce summer and since then has been a growing controversy, first thin and then increasingly poisonous. The choice of the Football Federation of covering 32 badges exposed to the stadium because it is in line with the judgments did not facilitate peace but on the eve of the match Torino seems to have received with applause and smiles the former admiral who is not the son of the curve but not the public danger number one.

In the morning the Blues have had a visit to the hotel’s Andrea Pirlo that has been there not only because the bar serve the best espresso of Turin. Already Turin, the adopted city of Conte who is a resident since 1991 under the wheels so that its inflection Puglia is blunt shades Savoy. It is clear that for the coach today’s match takes on special meaning as they exit the technical sphere to touch the heart strings.

“It was a strong emotion through the gate of the Juventus Stadium – admitted Conte – enter into the locker room and go on the field. Incredible emotions because here I lived three fantastic years, extraordinary and I have so many memories that will remain indelible. Tomorrow more fans or owls? We will have many fans on our side, plays the national team, there will be unity of purpose. “

In short, the pride Juve who had unleashed on the web and also fueled by the utterances of John Elkann and that seemed to presage a climate of “typhoid-cons” had calmed down and if it is not love definitely will not be hatred. And yes that bad thoughts tormented sleep these days do not count that is hard to admit. “If Friday I had bad thoughts? I have come so many others – says the coach with an explicit reference to the assumptions resignation – there are many things that come out every day. Sometimes I read the newspapers, sometimes not. I go on, I know it is not easy, however, take comne example a sentence of Pietro Mennea I’ve heard in the TV drama: “To achieve great dreams, we must make great effort.” I liked it, is a great truth. “

There is a Count angry, furious, adrenaline but not so low as that of the spring Bulgarian. The “stretching” nervous produced its positive effects and so the breeder blue recalibrates thoughts on his lavoto. “We are trying to work to build something good, there is a generational important from all points of view, in terms of players, experience and everything. You have to have that little bit of patience without being rejected at the first opportunity. I am fortunate to have a group of good guys and this leaves me quiet. “

Without tactics, the coach announces the formation anti-England, for the re-release of the only game won last Brazilian World: Buffon , sfebbrato, back door, Ranocchia takes the place of Barzagli , Florenzi and Darmian on the outside, Parolo , Soriano and Valdifiori in the middle of the field and Eder and Pellè in the attack. Everything as expected or because it was almost expected a second chance to Verratti and instead wanted the coach of offering the keys to maneuver to the director of Empoli.

THE STAR – Pellè, controversy? They load the coach who then charge us … “I felt good today and the coach gave me this chance. Whoever plays always has a lot to prove: Eder had played in the Sampdoria, I get on well with him. We must always show, I was pleased to score and get another opportunity. I wanted to make another goal, we did good game, around the team that a beautiful climate. ” This was said to Rai, Graziano Pellè, author of the goals of the benefit of Italy, in Turin against England.

 The exultation of Pell & # xE8;

“The English are accustomed to beautiful games – he continued – the Premier is a show, they have been good to believe it until the end. We have thrown away opportunity. The controversy?

I always hope to score goals. “

 Antonio Conte

THE – Two draws, one with his past and one with England : the budget of the evening more ‘difficult Antonio Conte, called a controversial return to coach blue in the presence of his former fans of the Juventus Stadium, and’ generally positive. It ‘s true, the victory for the Italian national team, deluded by a fine headed goal of Skin’ in the first half, and ‘nuanced when the race was running out for a great shot of Townsend, but the overall performance of the Blues’ was good.

Andrea Agnelli

And most of all, after a meeting maybe formal but significant before the race with Andrea Agnelli, in the field there ‘was not even a hint of the feared boos foretold for the technician “traitor “by fans from social networks. Those present at the stadium after the race indeed greeted him with applause liberating, that gave him the first night of calm after so many days of controversy.

 Italy

If you are also deserved the blues this Italy2, applause: ’cause despite the many grafts compared to the European qualifying match last Saturday in Bulgaria have played a good game, sometimes even in bright happy technicians. Over all, the bomber Skin ‘and that’ came late to blue but begins to score with some regularity ‘.

 The goal of Pell & # xE8;

And Eder, who instead unlike Saturday and not ‘gone in goal but’ liked for his movements and the ability ‘ dialogue with a midfield all new and but ‘inspired enough in Valdifiori, and Parolo Darmian. The suspense of the vigil was for all the moods of the stadium, being granted the deployment in blue start.

As per the announcement of Conte, in fact, to dial the usual 3-5-2 before the falling Buffon had been Ranocchia, Bonucci and Chiellini in defense, with Florenzi and Darmian external and Soriano, and Parolo Valdifiori in midfield. Forward a couple formed by long-Skin ‘and the small and effervescent Eder. More ‘than a real national, an experimental.

The joy of Pell & # xE8;

That, however, ‘was appreciated by 30 thousand of the Juventus Stadium played with airy, unobtrusive rhythm and good personality’ despite the inexperience of many players. This half, for example, worked and on the outside if the right Florenzi suffering and often mistaken measurement of the passages, Darmian left raged. Cosi ‘Italy came from parts of Hart at 10′ with a shot from Parolo deflected for a corner by the English goalkeeper, and it was still dangerous to the 17 ‘on foray Darmian.

They felt a shiver , blues, for a flash of Rooney at 19 ‘on short rejected the defense Italian kicked the ball flight to impact on the cross. But then passed, thanks to a great header by Pelle ‘cross from Chiellini. One advantage deserved, as well as the applause that accompanied the team in the locker room of the Count for the range.

In the second half it was still Italy as well: even created two occasions to follow the 5 ‘, when Hart with a parade prodigious neutralized a flicker of Eder primed by Darmian and riveted on Skin ‘put out from a good position. He awoke then England. At 7 ‘finally did see Harry Kane, all’ simply cyclonic tonight: his shot was deflected for a corner as well as a ‘hit’ close Gibbs two minutes later.

At 15 ‘the race lost a bit ‘of meaning because’ Conte gave birth to a maxi substitution: entered Abate, Vazquez and Building for Florenzi, Eder and Skin ‘. And a few minutes later it was up to Verratti which replaced a Valdifiori. The time of a sigh of relief for a great parade of Buffon’s shot Rooney, and replaced Conte also Chiellini and Darmian with Moretti and Antonelli.

At the half hour with a detour Rooney Shagged poisonous , implying that for whites the game was still completely open. In fact the draw English was only postponed: came to 34 ‘thanks to a big right of Townsend.

Conte appeals to the mercy of the court. The coach back on the smile and asks indulgence of his boys. At the Juventus Stadium Italy face England in a friendly match that will provide answers important for the next futu ro. “Many players are appearing in National: please do not bocciateli in a shearing.” The prayer of Count photographer’s time of Italian football: the technical resources are few, we have to pray. The coach draws attention to the new cycle, the culture of work, on the need to row in the same direction to achieve significant results.

“Sometimes I make of the questions that I find no answer – confesses technical Salento – the work should be the rule, but here sometimes seems to be the exception. We must have the humility to understand who we are right now, and how much we still have to work. ” It starts with a friendly against England that luxury in the qualifying round at the upcoming European is dominating their grouping. A lot of news from the team training views in Sofia against Bulgaria. Buffon disposed of the flu attack and will return in goal, important occasion for Florenzi, Parolo, Soriano and Pellè.

Turin is with Italy Azzurri applauded beyond controversy – Alto Adige

TORINO. We are in Turin, but as they say in Naples is enough na ‘tazzulella’ and cafe to make it clear to Antonio Conte that tomorrow at the Stadium will find only the Leoni d ‘ England .

No whistles, ghosts of Principino or fans John Elkann . Those Juventus are attached more to the memory of his badges: he understood yesterday morning, after digestion Bulgarian – and difficult – after a night in the hotel, after lunch with the team and staff.

Just enough time for a walk, a coffee and, above all, autographs and handshakes going and returning to the base: the signs are positive, poisons seem to have disappeared into thin air, the coach can focus on test British dell’inossidabile Roy Hodgson .

Turin is a city that historically has always found it natural to become attached to the colors of the national team. Almost by reflex, also the influx in the stands cheering for the blue has always been particularly generous in times of good form of the two city teams: Juventus and Toro give smiles.

Home. On the other hand, the Cold War, which occasionally triggers the defcon blue is with the leaders of Juventus, not with the people Juventus.

Otherwise yesterday there would be six hundred fans on the sidewalks of downtown, around the headquarters of Italy in Turin.

A large group of fans who sang songs and made from a burst of applause when the door of the hotel is popped Barzagli , followed closely by the other Juventus, folks home : Buffon , Chiellini and gradually the other national, even those not in black and white clothes.

It Count? After a while, ‘here is the coach, encouragement and applause for him, in the crowd, while someone complained, but only because of the impossibility of reaching the ranks and reach out for the autograph. There are about five in the afternoon and the National Olympic salt on the bus destination, where it is scheduled for a workout, a fatigue after the challenge of Sofia, the opportunity to put the knife in the water for the friendly tomorrow.

Without ghosts around. The skeletons are in the closet.

Choices. If there is a controversy – but it’s really a pimple if you think to boil Marchisio – this time arrives via Twitter . Blame the additional summonses made after starting 2-2 with Bulgaria and consatatti the infirmities of Pasqual and Darmian : why Count named AC Milan Abate and the Inter Santon , for this has taken the tweet disappointed “Russian” Domenico Criscito : “????? ? Points of question I ask myself for a long time. ”

These words seem to reveal the discontent of the Zenit player, not taken into account by the coach even in second place, although the same Criscito after just tried the reverse: “But a sentence can not be controversy. In life there is only football. I did not have anyone in the football world. “

A controversy that has dragged on for some time that between Criscito and the blue team.

We believe him? Better get back to the field, the experiments to that “let me work in peace,” which has become the refrain of the coach after the episode Bulgarian. Tomorrow should try the pair Pellè Eder in attack, with Verratti always in the control room: you always work around the 3-5-2 , the sacred text of Conte after three league titles Juventus. Other new talk of inserting Abate on the right, to the left of Santon, Moretti in the rear, perhaps with Buffon in goal, given that yesterday was already in the field after the attack that the feverish ‘ruled out of the race in Sofia.

Today we know more, since it is expected the usual press conference the day before at 18.30, while forty minutes after we understand with whom Leoni Mr. Roy will be presented Tuesday at the Juventus Stadium: kick-off at 20.45, arbitrates the Teutonic Felix Brych .

Yes, it seems a joke: there are an Italian, a English and German, but this friendly will be a serious matter.

MotoGP, Rossi and the “red”: the world speaks Italian – The Republic

LOSAIL – Rossi and Rosse, namely: present and – above all – the future of two Italian sports legends, celebrated in the course of one of the most spectacular races the history of motorcycling. Valentino and Ducati are not only the answer in a night in the desert to the Spanish dictatorship of recent years, no. The rider from Pesaro and colleagues riding the Desmosedici GP15 (Andrea Dovizioso, Andrea Iannone), are also the most prominent candidates for eventual success in the 2015 season’s why.
A Doctor in full form. At 36 the Doctor has never been so physically fit. During the winter he worked hard in the gym, but the real secret is the endless sessions on the track in the land of the Ranch of Tavullia, challenges with kids his Academy that turn into real battles. “It ‘s the best way to stay young: in and out,” says Valentino. That in February, when Madrid Yamaha presented athletes and media for the new season, had introduced polished. Before the onset of Losail raced in tests with a stubbornness impressive. From the perspective of muscle and responsiveness has nothing to envy anyone MotoGP, even in Marquez. But the winning formula is mostly mental. “If I run again, I do it just to win, I want the star, the tenth title,” clarified in advance. The reasons remain very high, the desire for revenge – hatching after those years disgraziatissimi Ducati – is the spring that pushes the Doctor to train more than others but in particular to give everything on the track, always.
A couple very Rossa . The two Ducati have never been so confident. And ‘the story of a couple very well stocked – one more polished, expert; the other aggressive, unpredictable – that the engineer Gigi Dall’Igna filled with compliments last night: “They are the two drivers just for us. Italian, complementary. And very talented.” Dovizioso says so many years, that does not feel inferior to anyone: “Maybe others have qualities different from mine. But put us on a motorcycle performance equal, and let’s see who will be stronger.” Correct and calm in his heart has always suffered from the popularity of Valentino and wants at all costs to carve out a corner of paradise. Iannone even growls: “Marquez does not frighten me, no awe. Last we have taken to sportellate and then he dumped me there, because it was on another planet. But this year, thanks to the GP15, the music changes In the past I have already beaten Marc in the minor categories, at Mugello and also in his Barcelona. There is no reason why it can not do it again “.



Galbraith, the Magician. In the second half of last season, the Yamaha seemed to have almost closed the gap with Honda. This year, the introduction of a new seamless allowed to make another step forward. “They still have something more,” says Valentino. “For example in pure speed still lose about 10 miles an hour. And we need to adapt to recent changes, even if the policy of the Yamaha is always that small steps.” But really miss very little, and the Qatar race it showed. In two weeks in Austin will not be easy to repeat, because that is traditionally a bike Honda. “But with a Valentino so anything is possible,” he confesses Silvano Galbusera. Here, the crew chief is the other secret of Valentino: last year just before the start of the races has pulled out of the hat of the winning solutions. It seemed to be back to the golden years of the Australian Jeremy Burgess. It ‘happened again Saturday night, with Galbraith to work in the workshop along with the Doctor to solve problems. “But now Silvano, who was in his first season in MotoGP, knows all the circuits: will be another advantage,” reflects Rossi.

That great genius of Gigi. The real secret of the Ducati is called Gigi Dall’Igna. The engineer in charge of the sports project came last year in Borgo Panigale. And everything changed. “I simply repeated all the great work done by my predecessors in the company. A heritage but, for lack of communication, had not been exploited.” A season with the old material available – and meanwhile detachments from the best fell from 50 seconds- a10, then started the project in the fall Desmosedici GP15. A bike revolutionary in many respects, smaller, compact and aerodynamic than before, with two ‘fins on the hull. A jewel tried for the first time by test Michele Pirro on 12 February, then the tests in Malaysia and Qatar, finally the race on Sunday evening. The Beautiful Creature of Dall’Igna has just been born and wean, but already does wonderful things. “But he has a little more than a thousand kilometers. Be still a moment of patience, because soon it will be even happier Ducatisti”. Word of engineer.

GOODBYE TO PEDROSA – Daniel Pedrosa leaves the motogp in Indefinitely. “I suffered in silence and do not want to do it.” The announcement on the night of Qatar at the end of the first season of the championship gp in which Spanish was sixth behind marc marquez. Pedrosa has a problem in his right arm that prevents him from driving to the fullest. Suffering from compartment syndrome forearm. “I’ve tried everything to heal – he said – but did not succeed. I also had an operation, but did not give any improvement.” The Spaniard said he had traveled the world by consulting several doctors but to no avail. “I have not recommended another operation, but it is clear that I can not run under these conditions: long ago I can not give my best. I can not say what will be after this my ad, but I want to thank the team, who knew of these my difficulties and has always supported me. ” Now the honda is hunting for a new driver. The idea would be to casey stoner, the thirty year old Australian won the world championship in MotoGP in 2007 and 2011.

The eternal That that in 24 hours passes from the problems with the tires to the masterpiece of Losail . Marquez helps him with the error on startup: changes little, see what was said above for Mercedes . Rossi surpasses, controsorpassa, do sportellate and wins ahead of Dovizioso and Iannone . Goes first, the two Ducati behind: the triumph of the red. Both Andrea enjoying the podium riding that missile fired straight from Ducati a few more satisfaction if the take away for sure.
