Just got round to watching Fiorentina v Napoli. Great tear up, Napoli have some talented footballers and play some lovely stuff but are a bit vulnerable too.

The young polish kid Zielinski looks promising.

Just got back to Molfetta from the Bari - SPAL game. Ref was a prick. But I drank lots of beer on the other hand.

Forza Bari ale!

Ps i know it is Serie B but see my previous post in this thread.

Not sure if anyone listened to the Times podcast last Thursday, but James Scowcroft - who's very straight talking and one of the best ex-footballer pundits to listen to I think - said that he's heard from various people (and he works in coaching himself) that Italian coaches are generally the best around and Italy is streets ahead of England in terms of how they teach their coaching and the quality of how they are taught on their coaching badges etc.

He said that coaching badges are so dumbed down and easy to get in England compared to other countries.

But Azzurri legend Marco Tardelli said: "[Conte] will have the opportunity to build a team, just as Jose Mourinho did. The only problem is that the English don't really want to understand tactics."
