Statistics

Name: Andrea Dossena

DOB: September 11th 1981

Height: 1.85m

Weight: 74kg

Position: Defender

Current Club: Udinese Calcio 1896

~~Early Years~~
Andrea Dossena was born in Lodi, a small town in the region of Lombardy- home to both Inter and Milan. He began his football career with Hellas Verona and he quickly moved up into the club's youth system after showing incredible talent at a young age. In 2001 he left the youth team and made the step up to the senior squad under Alberto Malesani's tutelage.

Dossena made his Serie A debut on November 18 2001 and he was thrown in at the deep end as his first appearance was against bitter rivals Chievo in the Derby di Verona and he played alongside emerging talents such as Mauro Camoranesi, Alberto Gilardino, Massimo Oddo, Marco Cassetti and Adrian Mutu. He was quick to adapt within a side boasting plenty of youth and brilliant talent with massive potential.

~~Onwards And Upwards~~
Dossena spent four years with the Gialloblu but in 2002 his side were relegated to Serie B following a last day defeat to Piacenza. It was a steep learning curb for the player but he kept his place in the side and decided to stay where as most of his team mates jumped ship. It was a wise decision which paid off in 2005 when he was signed by Serie A outfit Udinese. Fiery character Serse Cosmi, who coached the left-back at the time, decided his left back was surplus to requirements at the Stadio Friuli and he sent him on loan to Treviso. Dossena made 21 first team appearances for the Biancocelesti but he couldn't stop them sliding into Serie B. At the end of the 2005/06 season, the stopper was recalled back to the Bianconeri by Giovanni Galeone.

The stopper went on to feature 28 times for the Zebrette and he was soon to be reunited with his old coach from Verona. Galleone was sacked by the Stadio Fruili based outfit after falling out with the club's directors. Alberto Malesani, who played a big part in Dossena's early career at the Gialloblu, was reunited with his former Verona star. Rise To Fame In just two years, the powerful defender has made massive strides towards a rewarding career. He has played 63 times for Udinese and this season he has impressed in Serie A. His performances against the top four clubs in particular were outstanding. He kept the Nerazzurri's star studied line up quiet in the 0-0 draw back in January.

Dosena marked Zlatan Ibrahimovic out of the game as his side stole a valueable point against the league leaders. The left-back was dangerous all night and his constant runs and dangerous crosses from the wings caused the Nerazzurri problems. The Udinese number 8 also gave his side a shock lead against Juventus but they went on to lose the game 2-1. The defender's work at the back helped his side earn a very respectable sixth place finish which rewarded them with a UEFA Cup place. However, the former Verona man might not feature in the competition.

~~Anfield Awaits~~
The Italian stopper has the chance to play in the Champions League next term with Liverpool who are on the verge of signing their target. Rafa Benitez has been impressed by the Bianconero and the Reds are focused on taking the rising star to Anfield as a replacement for John Arne Riise. Dossena has similar qualities to the Norwegian but he is more graceful on the ball and has a sweeter first touch. He is also excellent in the air and has a commanding presence at the back. His current coach Pasquale Marino has revealed that the player will move to Liverpool. It is believed the Reds are close to signing the defender from Lodi for around £8m. The future is looking bright for the stopper and no doubt he will impress wherever he ends up playing.

does he have any international caps?

rahl · #**6288** (**permalink**) 05-06-2008, 11:03 AM

Thanks Bro AndySiao. Dossena is a gamble but also an opportunity with much potential. It's about time we change our leftback position which has been Riise's for so long (I like Riise and can see his contribution but we need someone else now who fits better into Rafa's plan).

Now Terry will go ballistic! Torres is class, that's all I can say

Carvalho best of bad bunch - Torres

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres believes Chelsea's Ricardo Carvalho is the best of a bad bunch among defenders in the Premier League.

Torres insists defenders' reliance on brawn over brain has made his life in England easier than expected.

The 24-year-old found the net 24 times in the top flight in 2007-08 - the most successful debut season ever by foreigner in goalscoring terms.

And he insists he met his toughest opponent in Chelsea's Portuguese centre-half, who he rates above Carvalho's Blues team-mate and England captaincy candidate John Terry.

"Terry is captain so gets a much higher profile. But he's only secondary to Carvalho," Torres told The Sun.

"Ricky is superb. He has every quality that is needed."

Torres added: "The central defenders (in the Premier League) are usually big, strong, aggressive lads.

"I guess it is probably because of these characteristics that the majority think they can solve problems by getting tough with me.

"But the truth is most of them lack defensive positioning as a result of their reliance on strength and aggression and leave so much space for you to take advantage of."

Nice one, Rafa

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has picked up an honourary degree in his old stomping ground of Valencia. And just like some UK universities, he was made to wear a daft outfit for the ceremony.

Benitez was granted with an Honoris Causa Degree by Jesus Rodriguez Marin, Miguel Hernandez University's vice-chancellor in Elche, eastern Spain. And the 48-year-old former Valencia and Tenerife head coach looked pleased as punch at his award.

I disagree. We have signed so many with 'potential' that didn't realise. We should just buy proven players. It's been a long time since we were in the running for the EPL title.

By the way, Liverpool will launch the NEW AWAY Jersey on the 17th July. So for brothers who are looking to buy the current white away jersey, please note that it will not be the away jersey for next year. That white away jersey may be going cheaper now to clear stocks. Don't buy already then realise it's going to be outdated soon.

Definitely we need new signings. Especially a goalkeeper , a right winger and a very good striker.

From yesterday's issue of Liverpool Times daily :-

Who? - John Arne Riise
Where is he? - Liverpool
Who is he linked with? - AS Roma

AS Roma head coach Luciano Spalletti has confirmed that he is hoping to sign
Liverpool's Norwegian wing-back John Arne Riise this summer. The 27-year-old has spent seven years at Anfield, but is expected to leave in the near future, with a host of clubs across Europe interested in the former AS Monaco man. Spalletti told his club's official website: "A player like Riise can give a different kind of readiness. Considering the challenges that await us in the coming season, Riise has the qualities that we are looking for. However, we have to look for other players as well and not make any mistakes in forming the new squad, such as losing the balance of the side. It is fundamental that we have a group based on the right attitude of friendship and professionalism. All we need is to add a little extra quality to our ranks, so that we can compete in all competitions again." Riise has made just short
of 350 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions to date, scoring 33 goals.

Who? - David Villa
Where is he? - Valencia
Who is he linked with? - Liverpool

Valencia director Juan Sanchez has reacted calmly to Los Che striker David Villa starting Euro 2008 with an impressive hat-trick in Spain's 4-1 thrashing of Russia. The 27-year-old is widely expected to leave the Mestalla this summer, with Arsenal and Real Madrid believed to be heading the chase for Villa's signature. However, Liverpool has surprised everyone with an offer of 18 million for the ideal strike partner to complement the "El Nino".

Who? - Gareth Barry
Where is he? - Aston Villa
Who is he linked with? - Liverpool

Aston Villa have confirmed that they have rejected a slightly improved offer from Liverpool for England midfielder Gareth Barry. The Reds are reported to have bid around 15 million for the 27-year-old Villa captain, but Barry's current employers are holding out for a much higher fee. A Villa spokesman told the club's official website: "The offer was a slight improvement on a previous bid, but our position on the issue remains unchanged and Liverpool have been informed." Villa boss Martin O'Neill had previously reacted angrily to the Reds' first approach for the services of Barry, slamming Anfield counterpart Rafa Benitez for his public statements of intent. However, Rick Parry has released a statement: "The latest offer is final and there will be no further bids. We'll just have to look elsewhere for another player".
