Denne gang var det Tjini Sport Travel Family junior (mange underavdelinger i dette selskapet. Far og sønn (Sindre 12 år) på tur! Opprinnelig hadde vi bare tenkt å se AC Milan mot Torino, men etter at Juventus-Inter ble flyttet fra søndag 19. april til lørdag 19. fikk vi mulighet til å se denne kampen også. Juventus-Inter skulle spilles på Stadio Olimpico. Banen har bare en kapasitet på 27 500 tilskuere, så vi meldte oss inn i Juventus Member for å få tilgang til billetter en dag før de ble lagt ut til “alle”. Det gikk bare bra. Billetter på langsiden for oss kostet 198 euro. 90 euro for hver billett + gebyrer.
Reiseruten
Vi landet i Milano (Malphensa) og tok flytoget inn til Cadorna (sentrum). Deretter var det rett opp Statzione Centrale der toget til Torino gikk (går en gang i timen) og rakk det med 5 minutters klaring. I Torino var det lett å finne hotellet. En strekning med Metroen så var vi ved rett stasjon. Vi gikk inn på Bar Massaua og spurte hvor hotellet Holiday Inn lå! Den gamle mannen smilte og pekte rett over gaten! Toget fra Milano til Torino tar 1 time og 55 minutter (koster 9 E pr. pers). Fra barna er 12 år i Italia må de betale voksen. Flytoget fra Malphensa til sentrum kostet 11 euro pp.
Fotballtrening
Dette var jo en ren fotballtur der ølbudsjett var lavere enn turene med styret i Tjini Sport Travel., men isbudsjettet var høyere. Her var det lagt opp til 2 fotballkamper, i tillegg til fotballtrening. Vi hadde fotballtrening både fredag, lørdag og søndag. I Torino på fredag fant vi en flott treningsanlegg i nærheten av hotellet (ca 20 minutter å gå) med kunstgressbaner og med masse aktivitet. Men vi fant oss et hjørne og flyttet oss noen ganger når det kom noen som hadde trening. På lørdag fant vi oss et område veldig nært hotellet. På søndag trente vi i en treningspark nært hotellet. Her var det gressbaner med grei kvalitet. Vi hadde et stort område for oss selv.
Kampene
Juventus– Inter ble spilt på lørdag 18. april kl 20.30. Vårt hotell lå midt mellom Stadio Delle Alphi og Stadio Olimpico, slik at vi tok buss ned til Stadio Olimpico. For tiden spiller både Juventus og Toriono hjemmekampene sine der. Stadio Delle Alphi blir restaurert og ventes klar til 2011-sesongen. Vi tok bussen mot Stadio delle Alphi (feil vei), så måtte vi gå av bussen og ta den i motsatt retning. Hadde spurt en dame på bussholdeplassen som hadde forsikret om det det var rett vei til Stadio Olimpico. Billettene måtte kjøpes på Tabbachi og det hadde ikke vi gjort så vi satset på at det ikke var kontroll. Fikk god trening i italiensk når en del italienere skulle forklare at vi skulle motsatt vei.. Når vi gikk av bussen tok en dame seg god tid til å forklare.
Etter litt frem og tilbake fant vi frem til stedet der vi skulle hente billettene. Etternavnet var skrevet litt feil og det var en prosedyre der han måtte endre navnet på billettene med en klistrelapp på selve billetten. Jeg måtte også signere for å ha mottatt billettene. Fullsatt stadion og veldig god stemning lenge før kampstart. Under kampen hadde det vært noe tilrop mot Inters Balotelli som førte til at neste hjemmekamp til Juventus må spilles for tomme tribuner.
AC Milan- Torino ble spilt søndag 20. april kl 20.30. Vi hadde et veldig flott hotell i Milano. Flott utsikt fra hotellrommet – rett mot San Siro. I kampen mellom AC Milan og Torino hadde vi høvelig gode plasser, men de var langt oppe under et tak slik at vi ikke så hele banen. Sindre var offensiv og sa at vi bare kunne sette oss lenger ned og flytte oss hvis det kom noen. Det kom ikke noen og vi hadde veldig gode plasser! En mektig stor stadion som tar ca 79 000 tilskuere når den er fullsatt. Til denne kampen var den bare halvfull.
Sindre hadde full kontroll på nesten alle spillerne. Ofte under kampene måtte jeg spørre hvem det var som var involvert og da kom som oftest svaret kontant. Sindre sa tidlig i 2. omgang mellom Juve og Inter; Molinaro er vanligvis god, men i denne kampen har han ikke vært spesielt god. Like etter ble han byttet ut. Før kampen mellom AC Milan-Torino fikk Sindre låne kikkerten med det samme spillerne kom på banen og de spillerne som skulle spille drev med en egen oppvarming. Like etter kom han med startelveren.
Vi hadde en del småmåltider på kampstedene. Veldig gode hamburgeraktige saker.
Sindre har fungert som reiselederassistent på turen. Under opplæring som han har vært har han taklet oppgaven veldig bra!
Som far – sønn tur kan dette virkelig anbefales! En reiser liksom som kamerater!
Flott treningsanlegg like ved hotellet i Torino!

AC Milan leapt above Juventus into second place in Serie A thanks to an impressive 5-1 win over Torino tonight.
Filippo Inzaghi was Milan’s hero with a hat-trick, aided twice by the vision and skill of David Beckham.
Kaka added a fourth from the penalty spot in a one-sided game before Ivan Franceschini claimed a consolation goal 10 minutes from time.
But Massimo Ambrosini restored Milan’s four-goal advantage with the last kick of the game as Carlo Ancelotti’s side joined Juve on 64 points, 10 behind runaway leaders Inter Milan.
Beckham was back in the starting XI after sitting out Milan’s last two Serie A matches and he made an immediate impact.
His free-kick was headed in by Inzaghi, but the goal was ruled out for a clear offside.
However, the same combination tore through the Torino defence with ease and regularity and there could be no doubt that Inzaghi’s second goal, from a Beckham corner, was valid in the 13th minute.
Another accurate, long ball from Beckham again found Inzaghi, whose header this time lacked the required power to cause Matteo Sereni any problems in the Torino goal.
Kaka then turned provider for Inzaghi’s next chance in the 28th minute, but again he could not get enough power on his shot, this time with his foot.
Moments later, Alexandre Pato got caught in two minds whether to shoot or play the ball square to Inzaghi after being found by Andrea Pirlo and the result was neither as his weak volley cleared the crossbar.
Inzaghi scored his second in the 37th minute with much of the credit again going to Beckham.
The England international could himself have shot from 20 yards out and that is what the Torino defence expected, but he instead lifted the ball right onto the head of Inzaghi, who simply diverted it into the top corner of Sereni’s goal.
Beckham had transformed a Milan side which had struggled to narrow wins over Lecce and Chievo in recent weeks.
There seemed to be no stopping the Rossoneri in this game and Inzaghi soon completed his hat-trick.
This time it was half-time substitute Ronaldinho who provided the assist for Milan’s number nine, who netted his 11th goal of the season, his second hat-trick, by lifting the ball delicately over a forlorn, defenceless Sereni.
Inzaghi was given a standing ovation when he was replaced by Andriy Shevchenko in the 65th minute after making his telling contribution to help lift Milan up to second place.
But there was more to come even without Inzaghi.
Ambrosini earned a penalty when he was fouled by Sereni and Kaka converted the penalty in the 68th minute.
Franceschini then grabbed a consolation for Torino with practically their first chance of the evening in the 81st minute before Ambrosini capped another perfect team move with the finish to make it 5-1 and lift Milan above Juventus into second place.
