Totti furious after opening defeat

Francesco Totti was left seething over the referee's decision not to send off Giuseppe Biava for a foul before scoring the winner.

Biava was the last man and brought down Roma's Jeremy Menez but was not given his marching orders and went on to net the decisive goal in the 83rd minute of a 3-2 home win.

Totti was so bitter that he could not celebrate becoming Serie A's ninth all-time leading scorer with his 179th strike.

"It was a disgrace," he said. "It's incredible what the referee told us.

"When we asked why he had not shown a straight red considering Biava was the last man, he said he was not the last man.

"Either I missed something on the rules or that was a blatant sending-off."

Totti and Co will need to overcome the frustration quickly in order to concentrate on Thursday's return leg in the Europa League play-off against MFK Kosice.

The Romans will then face Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.

"I cannot hold a gun to his head"

Antonio Cassano is desperate to play at the 2010 World Cup and wants Marcello Lippi to consider him.

The former AS Roma and Real Madrid forward has been a revelation since joining Sampdoria but his ill-tempered past has seen Lippi leaving him out of the national team.

Cassano knows his fate lies in the hands of Lippi but will continue to produce his best football in his push for a recall.

Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, he said: "The national team? We have touched upon this many times, but Lippi is the coach, and he has to decide,

"I will always give my availability for selection, but I cannot hold a gun to his head."

Italy's next World Cup qualification match will be on September 5 against Georgia.

Berlusconi: We have great squad

AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has defended the Rossoneri's transfer dealings this summer.

The Serie A outfit have signed Thiago Silva from Fluminense, Oguchi Onyewu from Standard Liege, Flavio Roma from Monaco and Klaas Jan Huntelaar from Real Madrid.

However, the Rossoneri have failed to lure their main targets of Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano and Wolfsburg hitman Edin Dzeko after reportedly not making attractive offers.

Berlusconi said: "I am in complete disagreement with those that think that Milan has taken a backstage pass in the transfer market.

"At Milan, we have two squads of great level, a total of 29 players."

Berlusconi has high expectations Brazilian star Ronaldinho will deliver after a slow start to his Milan career last term.

"I am delighted with Ronaldinho," Berlusconi said. "I would not exchange him for any player.

"Wherever he is on the pitch he always does two or three extraordinary things."

Milan face city rivals and defending champions Inter Milan on Saturday.

Diego: Juve ready for Roma

Juventus midfielder Diego believes that his side is prepared to take on Roma, and will look for a win.

Speaking to Tuttosport, Diego said: "The game against Roma will be like a final and our objective is to go there to win the game."

Still buzzing from their 1-0 win against Chievo, the Old Lady will travel to Rome with full confidence of bagging more points.

"We have to play with the same intensity we showed against Chievo. We want to win in order to confirm our winning spirit away from home."

With Roma captain Francesco Totti likely to be match fit and eager to rain on Juve's parade, Diego still had praise for the former Italy international.

"Totti? He is a great player and I like him a lot.

"I have always liked Totti, and I admire his story because he has always been the symbol of Romanisti," Diego said.

Materazzi: Milan Are Favourites To Win The Derby

Inter defender Marco Materazzi believes his side will be the underdogs in the Milan derby on Saturday night.

The stopper is expecting an explosive atmosphere in the San Siro. Despite beating Milan in pre-season, 'Matrix' feels the bitter rivals from across town have the upper hand heading into the clash.

"They have three points, we only have one, therefore they are the favourites," Materazzi told Sky Sport Italia.

"I can't hear the noise of the enemy, but I can see the colours of the opposition. The derby is always the derby, no matter where and no matter at what temperature it's played in.

"The atmosphere will always be hot, whether you play in August or in December."

Sneijder sad but excited with move

Wesley Sneijder feels he is swapping "one great club for another" as he completes his move from Real Madrid to Inter Milan.

Speaking to Marca about the seemingly imminent switch, Sneijder admits it is not easy to say goodbye to Madrid after two years at the Bernabeu but insists he is now looking forward to his new life at the San Siro.

"I'm going with my head high. I'm going to a great team, there's no doubt about that. I've been very happy here but now I have to look ahead and focus on my new team," said the former Ajax midfielder, who is set to bid farewell to his Madrid team-mates at their Valdebebas training ground this morning.

"The truth is that I was very happy here, it's something I cannot deny. It makes me sad to go but that's the way it is. That's life. Now the only thing I can say is that I'm happy. I'm changing one great club for another great club."

Although Sneijder preferred not to talk too much about the circumstances surrounding his exit from Madrid, he admitted he found it odd that the club were willing to sell him even though coach Manuel Pellegrini appeared to want him to stay.

"What has happened with me is something very strange. The coach said he counted on me but there are people at the club who don't," said Sneijder, who admits to having been left with a bad taste in the mouth.

"They have treated me very badly but I prefer not to talk about it.

"I'm going to give everything there (Inter). Life and football move on."

Mou is more than ready for Milan

Inter Coach Jose Mourinho says tomorrow's training session is practically useless because his team is already prepared for Milan.

Speaking at a BMW showroom, Mourinho said: “If I am here instead of being closed in at Appiano worrying myself about the derby watching DVD after DVD it means either I am not worried about the derby or I have nothing to prepare.

“I have clear ideas on the formation. We are well prepared and tomorrow's training session is almost useless because we have finished our work.

“We await the derby more than calmly because we have a lot of desire to play it and I am convinced that Milan also have a lot of desire to play this challenge.

“There will be a full stadium and it will be a great image for all of Europe,” Mourinho added before moving on to talk about new signing Wesley Sneijder.

“If he manages to do all the tests and trains tomorrow, he can become an option and obviously he will be selected,” Mourinho concluded.

TEAM NEWS

AS Roma
Mirko Vucinic, Julio Baptista, Simone Perrotta and Juan have all recovered from various knocks. Baptista's fitness still isn't 100% though and his appearance is in doubt. Vucinic made his return midweek against Kosice. He showed signs of form after hitting the post during his short time on the pitch and so he is in contention. Juan should be available for selection, he has been training well and could start at the back. Vitorinio Antunes is struggling with an ankle problem though and he is unlikely to feature.

Probable Starting XI: Artur - Motta, Mexes, Burdisso, Riise - Taddei, Pizarro, De Rossi - Francesco Totti, Vucinic, Menez

Juventus
Felipe Melo has shrugged off a thigh problem and he is ready to travel to Rome after doing well in Friday's training session. There were similar fears for Diego, but he has also made a recovery and stands a chance of playing. Mohamed Sissoko (foot) and Jonathan Zebina (ankle) are unavailable. There are no suspensions for the away team. Sebastian Giovinco seems to have recovered from his thigh strain, but his appearance is not guaranteed. Tiago has a foot problem and is doubtful. Hasan Salihamidzic is still training in the gym.

Probable Starting XI: Buffon - Grygera, Cannavaro, Chiellini, De Ceglie - Camoranesi, Poulsen, Marchisio - Diego Ribas, Amauri, Alex Del Piero

PREDICTION: AS Roma 2-2 Juventus

Mourinho: We are ready for AC

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has claimed his side are more than ready for Saturday's crunch derby with bitter rivals AC Milan.

The former Porto and Chelsea boss is aware that the pressure is on Inter to retain the title they won so convincingly last season, however the Portuguese supremo is adamant that all is well ahead of the San Siro clash.

Speaking to reporters during a promotional function on Friday, Mourinho declared: "If I am here instead of being closed in worrying myself about the derby watching DVD after DVD it means either I am not worried about the derby or I have nothing to prepare.

"I have clear ideas on the formation. We are well prepared and we have finished our work.

"We await the derby more than calmly because we have a lot of desire to play it and I am convinced that Milan also have a lot of desire to play this challenge."

The two Italian heavyweights have already met this summer, a game that saw Inter win 2-0 in the United States thanks to a brace from Diego Milito.

Mutu s-ar putea lasa de fotbal!

Gruparea Chelsea Londra i-a dat un ultimatum fotbalistului român, Adrian Mutu. Aceştia i-au cerut să plătească datoria de 17.173.990 euro, până la data de 31 august, iar în caz contrar vor face apel către FIFA, un organ care l-ar putea suspenda din fotbal pe atacantul Fiorentinei.

Ziarul La Nazione scrie astăzi că partida pe care Fiorentina o va susţine împotriva celor de la Palermo, duminică seara, în Serie A, ar putea fi ultima pentru Adrian Mutu.

"De luni, Adrian Mutu ar putea sa nu mai joace fotbal. Nu este o ipoteza, ci o varianta reala in aceste ore in care moralul jucatorului este devastat. Mutu s-a bagat intr-o afacere care-l depaseste si care il poate obliga sa ramana fara slujba. Astfel, meciul cu Palermo poate fi ultimul pentru Mutu." Potrivit aceluiaşi cotidian, se pare că moralul fotbalistului român este la pământ. Atât preşedintele viola, Andreea della Valle cât şi antrenorul Cesare Prandelli fac tot posibilul pentru ca "Briliantul" să-şi ia gândul de la această datorie imensă şi să fie cu mintea la fotbal.

Vestea cea mai proastă pe care a primit-o Mutu în aceste zile este că, oficialii lui Chelsea nu acceptă niciun compromis şi vor ca toată datoria de 17 milioane de euro să fie plătită până luni.

aronganta lui mourinho se pare ca era chiar mai mult de atat...

Daca te referi la cazul Mutu sa fim seriosi , chiar si starul Fiorentinei a recunoscut ca Mourinho i-a facut un mare bine pe plan fotbalistic. Daca nu l-ar fi trimis la acel test blestemat Mutu se zbatea si acum pe undeva prin anonimat jucand prin Liga I , un jucator mediocru si dependent de cocaina.In felul acesta a reusit sa scoata din nou capul in fotbalul mare a putut sa-si ia viata de la capat si acum o spune si el ca este mult mai bine decat era inainte pe toate planurile: fotbalistic , familie , prieteni etc.

Singura problema si este una mare de tot , este aceea a amenzii pe care trebuie sa o plateasca dar am increderea ca nu va fi nevoit.

Totusi am mai scris pe undeva , nu are cum s-ai ia FIFA dreptul la munca si sa-l oblige sa plateasca amenda ... pentru ca sunt 2 lucruri care se bat cap in cap: fara dreptul lui la munca , nu poate castiga bani sa plateasca amenda.

Mutu golgeter in Serie A la Parma? ia mai citeste , in 2002-2003 cand el juca la Parma a fost Vieri golgeter cu 23 de goluri iar mutu avea 18 ... dar daca ai citi mai atent ce am zis eu ai intelege ca nu spun k nu era fotbalist , ca era meserie inainte de episodul chelsea dar daca Mourinho nu`si dadea seama ca el se drogheaza si il lasau sa il domine viata din Londra si sa se drogheze se alegea praful de el ca jucator , chiar si el a recunoscut ca tot raul spre bine !

Intai citeste si u si apoi vorbeste , Mutu nici n-a jucat 2 sezoane la parma ci doar unul , sezonul 2002-2003 , si a iesit al 2-lea in clasamentul golgeterilor.
