FIF Special Ones
10 years of FIFThis has happened only 4 times since the Serie A formed in 1929-30...
1942-43: Torino (Andreas Kuttik/Antonio Janni)
1948-49: Torino (Leslie Lievesley/Oberdan Ussello)
1954-55: Milan (Béla Guttmann/Héctor Puricelli)
1970-71: Inter (Heriberto Herrera/Giovanni Invernizzi)
Inter was the last team to accomplish this, so it is fitting that we do it again on the 40th anniversary, is it not?

10 years of FIFThis has to be my 1st post regarding Leonardo. I had to take some drugs, smoke some weed, drink heavy stuff and waste myself during the Winter Holidays in order to chill down... my first reaction when I saw Leonardo linked to us was a simple laugh [bah], but when I saw him on the official site before Xmas, I had a fuckin` shock! Since then I tried to cool down and STUDY HIM before adopting any violent conduct that I could possibly later regret. I am glad that I could control myself. I am truly proud of myself! There is no doubt that Leonardo is a smart guy, my only concern is TACTICS and motivation. He reminds me of Mourinho, but not so hardcore. It's like porn vs softcore. Sure you can wank off with Playboy TV but damn I wanna see that pussy rammed hard +cumshot!!!!
Welcome Leo! Good luck! We need to close the gap A.S.A.P.
Capello approved!

who the hell is that goalkeeper in the left?
I -believe- he is Francesco Bardi, an 18 year old goalkeeper we just signed from Livorno for our Primavera, alongside Frederico Mannini.

10 years of FIFInjuries and a slow-moving team
Leonardo and his new trainer Rapetti have reviewed the training programmes to build a team that runs better and doesn't fall apart. The players reaction is immediately positive
APPIANO GENTILE (Como), 3 January 2011 - The complex problem of the distance between him and Mourinho for Benitez was also in the difference of work-methods, with respect to those of Rui Faria, of his athletic trainer Paco De Miguel, who was crushed in a whirlwind of injuries and by a team which ran little, but moreover ran badly. One of the keys to the peaceful management of Mourinho could lie in the contribution of Stefano Rapetti for Leonardo too. He was "promoted" to the position of new athletic trainer on the Brazilian's arrival. Firstly with Mou and then with Benitez he was mainly responsible for bringing players back from injury, but he already has experience in this role in serie C1 (Giulianova, Grosseto and Massese) and then with the nerazzurra youth team and for quite some time, at Inter, he had been considered ready for a full-time job "on the pitch", rather than in the clinic or the gym.
SINGLE-SPEED NO LONGER — A complicated legacy? Not for anyone who has worked in close contact with Rui Faria — and even recently relations between the two haven't broken off — and especially because he has found in Leonardo un belief similar to that of Mourinho, and so the need for sessions not only philosophically closer to those of his management. Absolute precedence must go to training with the ball, to begin with. Benitez maintained that he should do the same quantity as his predecessor, but the difference was in "how" rather than "how much": larger working spaces, a higher number of players taking part in the exercises, longer recovery times, in short more attention to volume rather than to variations in intensity. The result: a single-speed team, a diesel rather than a turbo-diesel engine, while now Leonardo has asked Rapetti for training geared to condition the players in a much more specific way.
PREVENTION AND PERSONALIZATION — A programme developed together with Angelo Castellazzi too – because exercises with the ball always have a precise tactical objective – which respects some basic concepts: more prevention, starting with an active recovery after matches (only in recent times had Benitez been convinced to eliminate the rest day after matches). More individual work, with a continuous confrontation not only on a technical level, but a medical one too: the relationship between Benitez and the medical and physiotherapy staff was a strained one, scarred by the almost total mutual lack of faith. A more targeted gym work: with Leonardo several small exercises for each session have been agreed, very brief, but above all formulated according to the morphological characteristics of each individual player. An example? The training session on 31 December, lasted approximately 1h and 45min, and had and introduction work in the gym that lasted 11minutes.
THE MYSTERY OF THE LEGACY — There is still an unknown quantity: what effects can six months with Benitez have had? And how long will they last? One thing is certain: Inter had almost 50 injuries, which involved in some form or another 92% of the outfield players. This means that Inter remains potentially a team running the risk of losing players, particularly as the games come thick and fast, as in the next 24 days they may have to play as many as seven games. But there is a good aerobic base, now Rapetti will have to make an effort on the anaerobic component and hopes to be able to condition this factor in a reasonably brief time.
THE PSYCOLOGICAL FACTOR — The rest will be up to the psychological response that will come from the arrival of an understanding character such as Leonardo: it is a common opinion at Inter that the high number of injuries was also caused by a manner of psychosomatic trauma caused by stress. In layman terms: in a working context that the players did not agree with there was less predisposition to train well and a greater predisposition to get injured. And the fact that Maicon has decided to not undergo surgery on his knee in order to be available to Leonardo says more than any theory on preparation.

i'm pretty sure that guy has been with the first team since the pre-season, so if it's not gallinetta it would most probably be someone else from the primavera like di gennaro
also, it makes absolutely no sense to buy an 18 year old goalkeeper and have him immediately train with the first team instead of help out the primavera, it's not like he has even the slightest chance of getting playing time
