Serie A: Top players of Round 19 (Part 1)
In what was a beautiful day for football, 20 Serie A teams locked horns, as ten games produced a brilliant 30 goals. Owing much to the competitive nature of Serie A, the likes of Lecce and Chievo Verona managed to take points
off their more illustrious opponents. There were some truly inspired performances from some of the usual suspects, while some lesser known players also managed to impress.
Bettor.com highlights the key performers from match day 19:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cagliari-Calcio-c38716)
The Cagliari custodian was in divine form against AC Milan, and he continued the good work against Parma. Rossoblu travelled to Stadio Ennio Tardini on Sunday looking for a victory. Parma on the other hand had just returned after crushing Juventus in Turin,
so an enthralling game was in prospect.
Agazzi was tested time and again by the Ducali front men, but the Italian stood tall. Even though Giovinco managed to put one past the goalkeeper, Agazzi’s exploits were enough to earn Cagliari three precious points.
Should the 26-year-old manage to keep up the good work, there is every chances that he will get a national team call-up.

Last season’s Capocannoniere award winner has hit the ground running this time around. Nicknamed Toto by the Zebrette faithful, Di Natale has scored 13 goals so far this season, and sits joint top with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Edinson-Cavani-c11955 on Calcio’s top scorer charts.
Against Milan on the weekend, Di Natale was his usual brilliant self. Leading from the front, the Udinese skipper scored an excellent brace. While his first goal was a reflex volley, his second was absolutely brilliant. The Zebrette skipper ran more than
50-yards with the ball, schooled Bonera inside the Milan penalty area, and applied a precise finish into the bottom right corner.
Goals apart, Di Natale was a constant nuisance for the Rossoneri backline. It’s a shame that Di Natale never got to play for an elite European club.

The younger brother of legendary defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Cannavaro-c13164 also makes our list. Granted, the 29-year-old is not half the player his brother was, but he still has the heart of a champion.
Against Juventus on the weekend, Cannavaro was given the task of handling the twin aerial threat of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Amauri-c5381. Needless to say, the Partenopei skipper came out on the top more often than not. Critics will argue over the fact that both the Bianconeri
forwards were woefully out of form however, it still takes a monstrous effort to mark two players of undoubted calibre.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 and Cannavaro are locked in contract talks. Judging by Paolo’s latest outing, Aurelio De Laurentiis shouldn’t think twice before renewing his contract.
Bostjan Cesar (Chievo Verona)
The Flying Donkeys welcomed a highly talented Palermo outfit to Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi. Owing much to the Rosanero’s brilliant attack, a defeat for Mussi Volanti was on the cards. Cesar however, had other ideas. The 28-year-old http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Slovenia-c3008 international
played arguably his best game of the season.
Cesar was a rock in the centre of the defence, and nothing got past him. The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Massimo-Maccarone-c24588 were denied time and space on the ball. Palermo eventually had to settle for a single point.
