Heroes of the week

Ladies & gentlemen, everything is back to normal: Rossi and Toni are scoring again! :P

Giuseppe Rossi, age 21So for starters, let’s travel to Spain where Giuseppe Rossi is finally riding the wave of success. First, “Joe Red” earned his first call-up to the senior national team (although Lippi didn’t give him any playing time yet). Then, he scored against Aalborg in the UEFA Champions League. And this week-end, repeated his good form by scoring the first goal in Villareal’s match vs. Almeria, a mere 15 seconds after kick-off!! And what a goal it was (see below), bravo! The Yellow Submarine went on to win the game 2-1.

Luca Toni, age 30In Germany, Luca Toni somewhat got out of the slump that’s been holding him back for several weeks now, and scored the first goal in the Bundesliga “match of the week-end” against Schalke 04. Unfortunately, problems haven’t been fully washed for the Bayern striker. Firstly, his goal in the 3rd minute was a rather simple tap-in from 7 yards out. Secondly, well… Toni didn’t do a whole lot much the rest of the game (and was even booed when Jürgen Klismann substituted him with Andreas Ottl in the 71st). For a guy that scored almost 40 goals in his first season in Germany… we can expect a hell of a lot better! Forza Luca!!
