ANTONIO AND THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM.
By: Ben | March 7th, 2009
The prancing pony, Peter Pan, L’enfant terrible, the prodigious Don Juan whom made Julio Baptista blush will be raiding the Bolognese panty pantries this Sunday. Cassanata and Giampaolo Pazzini, the duo have combined for six goals in the past three games (in all competitions), four coming from the latter, thus spurning a three game winning streak and the beginnings of what seems a potentially potent partnership that could earn the tag, prolific.
Giampaolo Pazzini failed to fill the chasm left by the lumbering goal machine, the Jello-Giant, Luca Toni; when he had left for a second class league in the outfit of Bayern Munich – every man has the right to cash in. Pazzini came up quite short in the goal tallies with 7 in 24 appearances for the Viola and only managed to mark one off a penalty for the outfit this season. However since joining the Blucerchiati, Giampaolo has already scored five in league play a double in the Coppa Italia with their 3-0 stamp on the backs of Inter, dare I say Cassano left his mushroom stamp?
Bologna seemed out of ideas, disconnected even against Lazio this past weekend. In our last three encounters we have managed to gain only a point against Napoli and Di Vaio is effectively two games without a goal. That beautiful bald bastard has been a bit isolated in the past two encounters, having to pull back deeper to get his touches and the midfield bar Sergio Volpi has failed to provide the proper lumbar, as in support, lumbar support, well I tried.
Moras is still unavailable with a muscle strain, Osvaldo has began training again yet is still unfit, and after Belleri’s disastrous showing last week it seems Zenoni will be taking up his post.
Here are La Gazzetta Dello Sport’s probable formations:
Oh yes, and the weather:

Ben – Hope you saw my second comment on the last post. Great preview – I hope that Di Vaio can get it done today. I’ll be back with some kind of comment after the game. Quick question – How do you watch games from America? Is there a reliable feed that you use?

Well, the game was insane. Inter-Bologna a few weeks back was tense and exciting, and I’ve been thinking that the team’s been playing well, but this was la partita piu’ bella that I’ve seen here. Di Vaio was a champ, always in control (and often taking the ball up on his own), and the placement to him was superb. After the second goal, he hopped the fence and ran to the bottom of the curva, where he and his teammates celebrated while we fans screamed and shouted. The third goal was just icing on the cake. I shudder to think about other teams trying to steal him away from Bologna after this season – the thought of Di Vaio and Osvaldo at full force is just too much to handle. Do you know when Osvaldo is expected back?

Hey guys. As you probably know, I’m the Julian who runs the Italy WorldCupBlog (click my name for a link), and I was hoping to get some help from you guys for an upcoming series of posts. I’m asking each writer for a serie A club to email me, if you’d like to, and name 2 or 3 players who you believe should get called up to the Azzurri. Not players that are already a fixture, but maybe young guys who haven’t gotten a call up yet, or older overlooked players who deserve one. If you could email me, that’d be awesome. Much thanks.
