Articolo divertente sul Guardian... leggetelo.. quello che dicono
sull'Italia e' chiramente frutto di opinioni di persone che non "capiscono

The Guardian
France
Season in brief
Champions Lyon
Champions League Paris St-Germain, Monaco
Relegated Guingamp, Le Mans, Montpellier
Player of the year
Djibril Cissé (Auxerre)
Ligue 1's answer to Thierry Henry. Cissé scored 26 goals and was involved in
all Auxerre's league matches. He is now on his way to Liverpool and is a
fantastic buy.
Young player of the year
Sébastien Squillaci (Monaco)
In a back four with an average age of 23, Squillaci was outstanding - so
much so that Jacques Santini, the France coach, called him up this month for
a series of physical tests in case of injury to one of his defenders before
Euro 2004. Squillaci is destined for better things and possibly a move to
England.
Flop of the season
Monaco
Fabien Barthez's blunders in Europe for Marseille caught the eye but the
collapse of Monaco in the final months of the season, comparable to that of
Real Madrid in Spain, pushed them from title favourites to needing victory
against Porto in tomorrow's final to avoid having to qualify for the
Champions League.
English lessons for Euro 2004
Santini has omitted the Lyon strikers Sidney Govou and Pegguy Luyindula from
his squad, which should please England as they have been brilliant. Benoît
Pedretti from Sochaux (on his way to Marseille) and Jérôme Rothen from
Monaco are midfielders who will harm England if involved - although Robert
Pires and Zinedine Zidane stand in their way.
French lessons for Euro 2004
Even though most of the French stars play abroad, the general feeling in the
country is that France are too good to be beaten. But, then again, that was
the feeling before the 2002 World Cup. If Zidane is not fit, if Thierry
Henry and David Trézeguet do not play as team-mates, and if Barthez plays
instead of Gregory Coupet, France will not win. Simple as that.

Germany
Season in brief
Champions Werder Bremen
Champions League Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen
Relegated Eintracht, 1860 Munich, Cologne
Player of the year
Ailton (Werder Bremen)
A ball-shaped joker but fast like a bullet, the Brazilian scored 28 goals in
33 matches. Reminds the Germans of their legendary striker Gerd Müller.
Schalke 04 admire him so much they have signed him and doubled his salary.
Young player of the year
Lukas Podolski (Cologne)
The 18-year-old striker was promoted to the senior team in mid-season, going
on to score 10 times in 19 matches, one third of Cologne's goals but not
enough to prevent relegation. Of the Germany team he said: "If Rudi Völler
needs me in Portugal, I'm sure he will find out my number." One place
remains in the squad and Podoski's phone is on.
Flop of the season
Tomas Rosicky (B Dortmund)
The 23-year-old broke his arm, injured his back, underwent an appendectomy
and achieved nothing. The Czech international scored twice and had no
assists. Touted for a ?25m move to Chelsea in January, he started the last
two matches on the bench.
English lessons for Euro 2004
Seven Bundesliga players will play for Croatia in Portugal but only the
German-born Ivan Klasnic, who scored 13 goals for Bremen, really caught the
eye. Similarly the France duo Willy Sagnol and Bixente Lizarazu were barely
above average. The Swiss defenders Raphael Wicky and Bruno Berner were among
the stronger players for Hamburg and Freiburg.
German lessons for Euro 2004
For most national supporters the best news came when Carsten Ramelow
retired. The 30-year-old Leverkusen defender has been blamed for the
hesitant, ugly performances of Völler's side. Oliver Kahn and Michael
Ballack have not shone, although rising stars in the squad include
Stuttgart's youngsters Andreas Hinkel, Phillip Lahm and forward Kevin
Kuranyi. Völler's selection of the striker Thomas Brdaric, who scored 12
goals for almost-relegated Hanover 96, suggests he has one eye on World Cup
2006.
Italy
Season in brief
Champions Milan
Champions League Roma, Juventus, Internazionale
Relegated Modena, Empoli, Ancona
Player of the year
Francesco Totti (Roma)
Italy's most talented player has enjoyed playing alongside Antonio Cassano,
who finally seems close to unlocking his enormous potential, in Roma's
attack. Totti scored a personal best of 20 goals, carrying Roma along on his
back at times.
Young player of the year
Alberto Gilardino (Parma)
Born on July 5 1982, the day Paolo Rossi scored a famous hat-trick against
Brazil, Gilardino started the season as cover for Adriano in Parma's attack.
The Italy Under-21 forward scored 23 goals in a variety of ways: with both
feet and he scored a few headers. He is now considered the new Rossi.
Flop of the season
Pavel Nedved (Juventus)
Juventus had a disappointing season and the Czech midfielder, who led them
to the Scudetto and Champions League final the previous year, was
unrecognisable. The 2003 European footballer of the year had his worst
season in Serie A.
English lessons for Euro 2004
The France striker David Trézéguet had a troubled season with injuries and
contract disputes but still managed 16 goals in 25 matches. Lilian Thuram
was less brilliant than usual as Juve conceded 42 goals. The Croatian
defender Igor Tudor struggled with injuries and the veteran forward Milan
Rapaic scored four goals after joining Ancona in January.
Italian lessons for Euro 2004
After an all-Italian Champions League final last season, Serie A fell back
to earth with no teams reaching the semi-finals. The form of players like
Totti and Cassano give optimism but key players like Fabio Cannavaro,
Alessandro Del Piero and Christian Vieri had poor seasons and the Azzurri
need them at their best in Portugal.
Spain
Season in brief
Champions Valencia
Champions League Barcelona, Deportivo La Coruña, Real Madrid
Relegated Valladolid, Celta Vigo, Murcia
Player of the year
Ronaldinho (Barcelona)
The man Real Madrid deemed "too ugly" to be a galáctico has got Camp Nou
purring again with his outrageous ability and fantasy flicks, his desire and
commitment and child-like enthusiasm. Truly brilliant.
Young player of the year
Fernando Torres (A Madrid)
It is easy to forget that Torres is only 20. With pace, skill and 19 goals,
including an incredible Matrix-style flying volley, the Atlético striker has
looked every inch the superstar.
Flop of the season
Raúl (Real Madrid)
A lost soul, Raúl scored only twice in 2004 while contributing nothing of
note. Slow, wasteful and drifting ever deeper, Madrid's captain had a
desperate season.
English lessons for Euro 2004
Good news is that Zinedine Zidane, looking physically and emotionally
shattered, endured the worst season of his career. The bad news is that a
break and a return to France is the fillip he needs.
Spanish lessons for Euro 2004
Valencia's league win was based on a Spanish nucleus which will be well
represented in Portugal. David Albelda and Rubén Baraja are the country's
best central midfield partnership, and the winger Vicente ran Ronaldinho
close as player of the year. Tiredness will be an issue, especially among
Real's burnt-out players Raúl, Ivan Helguera and Michel Salgado.
