Rossi -> Interview by Gazzetta dello Sport from Early May, 2009

La serie A vista dall’estero: mi**glior giocatore e miglior squa**dra? «Vado con Ibra, per i gol e non solo. L’Inter è la più forte, ma scelgo il Genoa, perchè mi ha sorpreso: gioca alla grande, mi piace vederlo in campo e fa risultati. Gasperini quest’anno fa sognare i suoi tifosi e credo possa raggiungere la Champions ».

Another thing that surprises me is the blindness of many posters here..They have been hailing Rossi as the next big thing and so on and so forth..As iam posting this, iam watching him play against barcelona and he is pathetic, like he is when he plays against big teams..last 3 months, he has been a big flop when it really mattered..he couldnt make any impression in Champions league games against manchester united or Arsenal, simply he was anonymous as he is when playing against big teams, also in the primera liga, he was anonymous in all the recent games against Madrid, Valencia, sevilla …..He has fancy footwork but he will struggle to even make an impact against tough quality defenders…Balotelli scored a screamer yesterday for Inter, and also he is a threat with his headers, he can dribble very well and has a great positioning..Balotelli will be infinitely more effective than Rossi, he can also defend when needed…also, it was another pathetic pathetic performance by cannavaro against valencia yesterday, Villa, mata and silva harrassed him and humiliated him..Lippi has already confessed that winning the world cup would be impossible>( LOSERRRRRRRRRRR!!) so he can waltz through with spent forces like canna, zambro and the gang!!

Milan is playing Juventus, already the referee is aiding Juventus, Inzaghi was brutally pushed at the edge of the penalty area but the referee ignores,,maybe Juventus has brought him??

Posted from  Spain

disgrace in san siro..referee orsato did all he could to get the cheating team Juve the win..he sent off favalli..he did not send off the brute Chiellini for stopping Ronaldinho who was galloping towards the goal ll alone..Iam really worried the more i see of Chiellini, he was protected by our corrupt referees but in International matches, it will be a different story..it is just a matter of time before he costs us matches..referee added 4 minutes of injury time which ws ridiculous ..but the irony was that Milan came closer in those 4 minutes to win it all..

You are Ignorant, he set up Senna’s goal vs. Arsenal…. since then the whole Villarreal team has sucked + Injury to Cazorla and Senna has not helped.

Every player goes through up and down in form and yes he was out form in Mid April till early May> He played well and had an assist on goal.

Also, Villarreal play Real Madrid next week and valencia after that
(so don’t make up stories)

and

Rossi 7 – Set up the goal and provided another couple of good balls into the area as the Italian international showed that he was up for the challenge.

@kkql, sorry, iam not a racist but i dont respect foreigner glory hunters like u. Infact, i was born in perugia( google it if u have never heard of it, infact, from ur posts and rantings, i can clearly arrive at the conclusion that ur footballing acumen is NIL, u r just a web site quoting idiot), i run a restaurant in Tenerife , Spain where i have been living now for the past 5 years, and i visit my home every fortnite..
Now, to educate u for the starters, the format of Primera Liga is similar to that of Serie A, each team plays other team home and away..u were ignorant enugh to post that Villareal never played Real Madrid and Valencia, the ignorant idiot that u r..Villareal has already played Valencia and Real Madrid once each ..Against Real Madrid, Rossi was a non-entity…atleast u have some insight and common sense to acknowledge that Senna and Cazorla r the main absentees for Villareal..infact, Senna, Cazorla, Capdavilla, Nihat( injured for most of the season), Llorente and Pires r the main players for Villareal ahead of Rossi..Rossi is good no doubt with fancy footwork BUT HAS FLOPPED CONSISTENTLY against big defenders and big teams..even for our U-21, he flopped miserably when man marked by the ordinary Belgian defenders in the Olympics..it is a big joke that u mention about the TWO good balls put in the area by Rossi, every tom , dick and harry does that ..Against Arsenal, it was Senna´s brilliant strike which gave the goal to Villareal and it is not as if Rossi bamboozled Arsenal defenders , it was a simple pass outside the area, also, when Senna was absent in the return leg, Rossi was horrible, no effect whatsoever..Against red devils, over both the legs, Rossi was anonymous…
and as for Stranieri like u advising me to foolow Barca and Spain, it is a big laugh…Infact, i was watching the Euro quarters between Spain and Italia, being one of the few cheering our Azzurri at a place called ¨¨DA GIGI¨¨ in santacruz, Tenerife, much to my disgust and embarrasment, we were totally totally outplayed and toyed around by Spain, in all aspects, the ball was always in our half..Chiellini probably saved us that day..it was disgusting to see our team pack 8 players in the back, parking the bus in front of Buffon and obviously playing for penalties and i lost my face at the jeering of my spanish freinds..This team under Lippi is looking far more worse than that team of Donadoni, mind u..before posting ur web site related -copy and paste -articles, try to understand it first..u r probably not even Italian related, or at the most a 4th generation Italian/american( no disrespect to Julian and other wonderful posters)..i have a genuine advise to u..u will be ok with ur LA Galaxy, Azzurri and Serie A is not ur cup of tea..
and as for ur stoopid statement that Lippi will never select Balotelli for 2010, let us wait and see..Lippi might regret if he did not do that..Balotelli might score a match winner for Ghana( which is definately stronger than the present shiit Lippi is playing) with the likes of Essien, Muntari, Asamoah, Appiah and others, Balotelli might haunt us..
Balotelli will definately bring more than Rossi into our team, he is tall, strong, technically very good, only thing is that he should curb his temper and he will be ok..When it comes to playing physical teams like england or Australia, Rossi will be NIL…i mean Rossi should be in the squad, he might be useful to finish the games off against minnows but against big defenders, he will be nothing..and kkqul, stop posting from ur pie hole, u cant recoomend anything..u r a foreigner

Your comments about American and English Speaking nations are repulsive. Enough with your xenophobia comments. Julian as this is your Blog I am ashamed you let this trash by be posted here.

By 9 champs leagues | May 12th, 2009 at 7:36
UR LOYALITY SHOULD BE WITH USA THE COUNTRY WHERE U WERE BORN AND WHERE U SCAVENGE FOR A LIVING(IF U R WORKING!!)..I WAS BORN IN ITALIA, MY ANCESTORS ARE FROM ITALIA….MY ANCESTORS OR GRANDPARENTS DID NOT RUN AWAY TO USA/AUSTRALIA/CANADA LIKE URS..

What an appalling thing to say about immigrants to USA/AUSTRALIA/CANADA. I agree with Jackie you are a Xenophobe.

Julian, i have always respected sensible posters and i have always enjoyed ur blogs..if u observe my outbursts, it arived only when kkql insulted me..u can scroll up a few posts and verify it for urself..of all people, an american tool is in a BLOG related to my country and is deriding me..i could not take it nor allow it..
jackie, if u find my comments replusive stuff it..it is the NAKED FACT whether u like it or not..i never made any Xenophobic posts, mind u, i just responded to the ZERO IQ( football) tool (kkql) when he insulted me in a BLOG related to the football in my country..i respect all honest posters regardless of their origins, but when a foreigner insults me, a true Italian, it is just absurd mind u..now dont u try to stir it up, lousy foreigner!!

Sorry but you are a Xenophobe for what you just said about Jackie and ealrier about immigrants. I read what kqql wrote and his post was not racist or insulting to the entire Italian community in USA/AUSTRALIA/CANADA. You shouldn’t lecture Americans when you yourself live in Spain and you being Italian is all hearsay. Mind you if you have problem with English speaking nations then do not even bother posting on a American based site.

Go Seek therapy
