Team Focus: Elephants Of Catania Marching Into Europe? A team currently in eighth place in the league would rarely catch the attention of many and, when the side is a tiny club that has rarely left an impression on Italian football the likelihood of them catching the eye falls even further.

by Adam Digby at viernes, mar. 2 2012 11:36
Player Focus: Hugo Campagnaro - From Nightmare To Neapolitan Dream At first glance there was very little significance about the sixty-sixth minute goal. A defender tapping in at the far post to give a Champions League contender and title hopeful a 2-1 lead away to one of Serie A’s minnows is about as routine as it gets. Yet as Napoli’s Hugo Campagnaro w...

Stats Analysis: More Serie A Surprises - Aerial Superiority Unlike other leagues, Serie A is not commonly associated with great headers of the ball, even among its defenders.

The club appear to be the living embodiment of Murphy's Law; the ow...
