CHIEVO VERONA: NEW STAR OF THE ITALIAN FOOTBALL

 

 

 

By now the Italian league championship has started for  2001/2002 season and begin to outline the performances of the teams.

Between the better teams there are:  Milan, Inter, Juventus and Roma.

But there is a team that has just been promoted from the Second Division and has been dominating for  three weeks at the top of the list, his name is: Chievo Verona.

His name derives from a Verona district, that is a town situted at north-east of Italy. This team has amazed all the people. At the beginning of the league championship nobody thought that Chievo Verona could  arrive at the top of the list even if this was the dream hoped-for and  finally got, from a lot of inhabitants of Verona.

Chievo Verona isn’t a team particularly rich, his budget for this championship is only 24 billions lire. Somebody will say that 24 billions lire aren’t much, but is enough to compare with Roma that spends this figure only for the bomber Francesco Totti without  considering the cost of the other players.

The question that has arisen in many football fans is: “Why do Chievo win?”.

The most plausible answer is that the players of this team really want to win they are satisfied  of a salary cheaper  than the players of other famous teams.

At the moment all football fans ask if Chievo will manage to remain at the top of the place-list or if this is only a moment of fleeting glory.

Even if  I think  Chievo Verona is a good team I believe that the better Italian football team is Milan. And you, what do you think about that?
