The chief of the Italian coaches association (AIAC) Renzo Ulivieri has hit out at clubs and authorities after a number of games were postponed due to heavy snow at the weekend.
Ulivieri, who has echoed Lega Calcio chief Maurizio Berretta's sentiments, has called for better infrastructure around the grounds after Italy's Calcio failed to cope with adverse weather conditions.
"We did not send out a good impression, but I think we have to look at kick off times too. It's obvious stadiums need to be modernised," he told the press.
Italy's ambition to host the 2016 European Championships has been thrown into doubt unless they show signs of improving the grounds, but Ulivieri is confident things can change.
"It's a shame that previous modernisation work on the stadiums has not been adequate. It's not like they were done 100 years ago. In any case they have to be improved," he concluded.

GOOOOOAL MILAN! And what a strike it was from Kevin-Prince Boateng! Here's our match commentator with the details:
"AC Milan go 1-0 up!
"Kevin-Prince Boateng is slid through on goal on the right side of the penalty area, chesting the ball down beautifully before smashing it in via the underside of the crossbar. A superb goal!"

Earlier I asked if you all could guess which single English team Zlatan has scored against in the Champions League. The answer, of course, is Arsenal!
The big Swede scored a double against the Gunners back in 2010.
