|
| Week 38: Luca Toni (Palermo) |
| The fact that Palermo’s Luca Toni has been called into the Italy squad for the Norway game should come as no surprise. More |
| Week 37: Mirko Vucinic (Lecce) |
| Lecce’s Mirko Vucinic underlined why he is being linked with some of Italy’s biggest clubs after another influential display at Reggina on Sunday. More |
| Week 36: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Juventus) |
| Zlatan Ibrahimovic may have missed the last three Juventus games through suspension, but he quickly reminded everyone of his quality on his return during the 2-0 win against Parma. More |
| Week 35: Alex Del Piero (Juventus) |
| It hasn’t been the easiest of seasons for Alex Del Piero but he didn’t let Juventus down during the Scudetto clash at Milan. More |
| Week 34: Alberto Gilardino (Parma) & Cristiano Lucarelli (Livorno) |
| Alberto Gilardino and Cristiano Lucarelli are unlikely to ever forget Parma’s amazing 6-4 win over Livorno, in which both men scored four goals apiece. More |
| Week 33: Marco Storari (Messina) |
| Marco Storari has unquestionably been one of the key factors in Messina’s likely survival this term, as his heroics in Week 33 against Inter underlined. More |
| Week 32: Francesco Toldo (Inter) |
| Francesco Toldo was undoubtedly the hero of Inter’s 1-0 win over Juventus at the Stadio Delle Alpi on Wednesday. More |
| Week 31: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Juventus) |
| If there was one criticism of the way that the impressive Zlatan Ibrahimovic has settled into the world of Italian football, it was his lack of deadliness in front of goal. More |
| Week 30: Domenico Morfeo (Parma) |
| An inspirational brace from Domenico Morfeo helped Parma to a 3-1 win over Reggina at the weekend. More |
| Week 29: Alberto Gilardino (Parma) |
| What was the best transfer decision of the summer? It has to be Parma’s refusal to sell Alberto Gilardino. More |
| Week 28: David Di Michele (Udinese) |
| When David Di Michele recently insisted that he deserved a shot with the Italian national side, some thought he was perhaps being a little premature. More |
| Week 27: Gianluca Pagliuca (Bologna) |
| If Italy boss Marcello Lippi really chooses his squad based on player form, then why shouldn’t Bologna veteran Gianluca Pagliuca be considered for selection? More |
| Week 26: Alex Del Piero (Juventus) |
| Those who question why Alessandro Del Piero is so highly rated have been given the answer they have been looking for. More |
| Week 25: Francesco Flachi (Sampdoria) |
| If Sampdoria qualify for the Champions’ League this season then they are going to have to thank Francesco Flachi. More |
| Week 24: Fabrizio Miccoli (Fiorentina) |
| Fabrizio Miccoli has always insisted that Fiorentina are too good to go down and he used Week 24 to prove that point. More |
| Week 23: Mauro Esposito (Cagliari) |
| Mauro Esposito’s one-man show in Week 23 was the latest illustration that the winger, with all due respect to Cagliari, is just too good for the Sardinian club. More |
| Week 22: Hernan Crespo (Milan) |
| It hasn’t been the easiest of seasons for Hernan Crespo but the Milan man has silenced his many critics yet again. More |
| Week 21: Christian Vieri (Inter) |
| Some said he was finished but Christian Vieri proved in Week 21 that he still has plenty to offer Inter and Italian football. More |
| Week 20: Corrado Colombo (Livorno) |
| Corrado Colombo was the Week 20 hero after he scored the winner in Livorno’s sensational 1-0 victory over Milan. More |

| Vincenzo Montella returned to Roma’s rescue after the Giallorossi seemed to be heading for an embarrassing loss at Chievo. More |
| Week 18: Antonio Di Natale (Udinese) |
| Antonio Di Natale is Football Italia’s Player of the Week after helping Udinese consolidate third place with a superb goal. More |
| Week 17: Vikash Dhorasoo (Milan) |
| Vikash Dhorasoo has certainly picked the best time possible to show Milan what he is capable of. More |
| Week 16: Francesco Totti (Roma) |
| Roma’s Francesco Totti is unquestionably the Player of the Week after an afternoon that he and many Giallorossi fans will never forget. More |
| Week 15: Gigi Buffon (Juventus) |
| Having seen Milan thrash Fiorentina 6-0 earlier in the afternoon, Juventus desperately needed a win at Bologna last night in order to maintain their four-point lead at the top of the table. More |
| Week 14: Adriano (Inter) |
| Inter finally got back to winning ways in Week 14 and it comes as no surprise that Adriano was their key man. More |
| Week 13: Antonio Cassano (Roma) |
| He may not have scored against Siena on Saturday night but Antonio Cassano was the star of the show for Roma. More |
| Week 12: Andriy Shevchenko (Milan) |
| If it wasn’t for the Ukrainian’s stunning start to the season then Juventus may well have already wrapped up the Scudetto after just 12 games. More |
| Week 11: David Pizarro (Udinese) |
| Udinese grabbed the result of Week 11 with a 3-0 win at Roma, a victory which was aided by some impressive individual performances. More |
| Week 10: Francesco Toldo (Inter) |
| It has not been the easiest of seasons for Francesco Toldo. Yet the former Italian international returned to the side in Week 10, against his former club Fiorentina, to underline that he is still a man that can be counted on. More |
| Week 9: Enzo Maresca (Fiorentina) |
| A few eyebrows were raised in the summer when Juventus released Enzo Maresca and his performance in Week 9 explained why. More |
| Week 8: Valeri Bojinov (Lecce) |
| Many expected Adriano to shine at the Via Del Mare on Wednesday but it was an 18-year-old Bulgarian who stole the show. More |
| Week 7: Alex Del Piero (Juventus) |
| There were some who believed Alessandro Del Piero was finished. He even may have thought it himself at times but he proved in Week 7 that he still has something to offer Juventus. More |
| Week 6: Adriano (Inter) |
| Is there a better player on the planet than Adriano right now? Definitely not judging by his simply incredible performance for Inter on Sunday. More |
| Week 5: Morgan De Sanctis (Udinese) |
| Juventus may well have won 1-0 at Udinese on Sunday but the defeat could have been a lot heavier had it not been for the heroics of Morgan De Sanctis. More |
| Week 4: Andriy Shevchenko (Milan) |
| Although Andriy Shevchenko was quick to praise his teammates following the 2-1 win at Lazio on Sunday, it would be fair to suggest that Milan may have lost at the Olimpico had he not been on the field of play. More |
| Week 3: Cristiano Lupatelli (Fiorentina) |
| This time last season, there were some doubts over whether Cristiano Lupatelli would ever play again after a serious knee injury jeopardised his career. More |
| Week 2: Vincenzo Montella (Roma) |
| After scoring the winner against Fiorentina in Week 1, Roma’s Vincenzo Montella said that he wouldn’t speak to the media again until he netted 15 goals this season. More |
