Mutu hits out at Italian football


ROME, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu says he has no regrets at leaving Italian club Parma to come to Stamford Bridge.

The 24-year-old Romanian - a £15.8 million ($26.8 million) close-season signing - scored his fifth league goal of the season in Chelsea's 1-0 win over Everton at the weekend and returns to Italy on Tuesday for a Champions League group G match against Lazio.


'I'm going through a fantastic period of form with Chelsea at the moment,' Mutu was quoted as saying in Italian sports newspaper Controcampo on Monday.

'I made the right choice (coming to England), even though I miss Parma. But I certainly don't miss Italian football.

'In England the referees stop the game for 10 to 12 fouls per match. In Italy, (that number is) 60. I prefer the British attitude. Football's a game for men.

'Then the spectators over here are great - crowds of 40,000 or 50,000 people who support you and never whistle at you. It's not like that in Italy.

'Over here they appreciate me. You (Italians) only revere Brazilians and Argentines. In Italy, if you're from the East it's a different story.'

Number of fouls in Italy

Is this guy nuts or is the foul count that much higher in Italian top level football?

 

[Fastshow]

way higher......

The fowl count in the Italian league is far higher than in the EPL. Cynical, niggly little fowls and the ref's constantly blowing up with players writhing about cluckiing on the floor.

Well, not literally blowing up, that would be worth seeing.


McNuggets, Fastshow.

Prso Accuses Inzaghi Brothers Of Being Cheats
Latest News

Prso not a fan of the Inzaghi brothers (Reuters)
11/07/2003.

Monaco's striker, Dado Prso, has attacked the two Inzaghi brothers of being a disgrace to football.

According to the Croatian, who just emulated Simone Inzaghi by scoring four goals in a Champions League game, accused both him and his brother, Filippo Inzaghi, of being cheats and thieves. "They are cheats, it is malice, almost theft and it is not my conception of football."

Prso had his first start in a Champions League match last Wednesday and repaid his coach Didier Deschamps by netting four goals against Deportivo La Coruna. Only two other players have achieved such a high scoring record in a Champions League match and these are Simone Inzaghi and Prso's childhood hero, Marco Van Basten.

Maybe this guy should lose the porno hair-do. It must be a shame for poor old Psro to realize he'll never be able to do what he did again and never even come close to the expectations his team and country now have for him.

Pipo Inzaghi might be the biggest bitch in all of football but every team would rather have him and his antics instead of this one hit wonder, well everybody except for CDK.
