Andrea Ranocchia

[il Biscione 84]

These kinda games will help him develop faster, playing against the best sure will improve his experience and skills. I liked the way he played in the second half considering his age and the fact that he's playing for a new Italian team.

tbh his performance didn't reach the level to call it great. He had a decent game and his performance improved with the game progressing.

Just curious, is there an explanation why he is called "frog"? I never understood that.

"ranocchia" literally means "frog" in italian as far as I know.

 

[Pajo]

Try Google translate, he will trasnlate "Ranocchia" as "Frogley"

Rana in italian means Frog. Since majority of male words get an 'o' instead of 'a' at the end of the word then in case of Ranocchia it turns into Rano which as well means 'Frog'.

Just like Pazzini. Pazzo in italian means Mad.

And "Nag" (Nagatomo) means snake in Indian, so for me we got the Frog, Snake and hopefully the goose in June.

 

[NimAraya]

Who's goose?!

You are kind of right, rana does mean frog in Italian, but this business about rano is not true. The word ranocchia is also used for frog in some regions of Italy. My parents are from the Lazio region of Italy and they use "la ranocchia" for frog, not "la rana".

My mother who doesn't follow Inter as much as my father, literally laughed out loud when she heard the announcer say "Ranocchia on the ball now..."

Ok. My italian is not any great. Just tried to explain it as far as I could.
