("Yes, that's right. Giampaolo and I have reconciled. Why, what did he tell you? Was Osvaldo there? That bitch!")
It wasn't Dubai, but the Viola did get to Marbella, in Spain over the break. It didn't look like much fun, though -- they were back in training before almost any other team, and didn't even play any fun friendlies. Instead, they worked for a few days, and then went home. For more training. Ah, the glamorous life of a professional footballer.
Meet the new guy.
This is Daniele Cacia, he's 24 and came from Piacenza.
Fiorentina bought half of him last summer, but let him stay for the first half.
A lot of training seemed to involved being strapped into these harnesses.
Monty still managed to flirt, despite looking like a fool.
Bobo, meanwhile, just looked terribly beleaguered. (Not to mention cold.)
Dork. DORK, DORK, DORK.
Did I mention "dork"?
Here's our first Balzaretti picture. You will notice a trend as we go along.
Oh, look who that is stretch. Yep, Balza. (As well as lounging Pazzini.)
I'm not complaining, but this is more than we've seen him all season.
So hot right now. Balzaretti. So hot.
Even Semioli is interested in him.
And look, Bobo!
Santana!
SEB FREY IS BACK, BITCHES!
Pubesface is all fired up about being back in training.
Lonely Pazzini.
So emo. Maybe he and Monty really are fighting again. Or still.
Either way, Monty's looking awfully pretty. (Bobo!)
KUZI!
Osvaldo's hair continues to grow. Eeeeeeexcellent.
Is that Mutu in the back, trying to make his neck disappear?
Jesus, Donadel's hair just gets worse and worse and worse.
Oh, Bobo.
Meeting with his people.
Did someone just kill Santana's puppy?
Jesus. Rough night, Capitano?
The boys beat Maliseti today 7-0, thanks to two goals each by Mutu, Pazzini and Lupoli (which should help him get that loan for which he's begging), and one by Osvaldo.
Bobo doesn't like to be touched.
