We are through Champions League play for this week and the predominant theme being beat into our head is the power, speed and aggressive style of play coming out of the German representative competing in the Semifinals. Four is the magic number this week boys and girls. Our guest for the day is one of our favorite Italian football writers, Giancarlo Rinaldi. We brought up Giancarlo earlier this week when we put out the suggestion to purchase the latest e-book that he has written, documenting some of the best games out of the Italian Serie A. We talk a little about the memories with Rinaldi who has personal attachments to many of the games referenced in his book, but we also cover the brainstorming process and categorizing of the book and why your everyday fans should have a read. Oh, and we get an Italian football writer's perspective on the midweek Champions League results as well, so don't think we are losing focus like Real's back line did last night. Plus, will Zlatan stay or will he go if and when Cavanni packs his bags to join the Serie A All Stars at PSG. |
