USMNT star Christian Pulisic is embracing “good competition” when it comes to a battle with Rafael Leao for assist king bragging rights at AC Milan. The United States international added another to his tally when teeing up Strahinja Pavlovic in the Rossoneri’s 4-0 win over Udinese. Portuguese forward Leao grabbed a goal and an assist in that contest – taking him to double figures in both of those departments. Pulisic has been more prolific in front of goal this season, with 15 efforts to his name in all competitions, and also has 10 assists. There is all to play for…
Deciding the next head coach is proving to be a difficult task, and until a sporting director is appointed, no decisions will be made on the touchline. Picking a head coach is a difficult task to get right, after all, the chosen candidate must align with your club’s identity, as well as being able to work with the current pool of talent. This season, Milan have struggled to find that. Paulo Fonseca was a poor hire, and he left before Christmas, whilst Sergio Conceicao is seemingly destined to share the same fate, barring a minor miracle. So the focus for…
Luka Jovic’s contract has proven to be a heavily debated incident this season, and it seems that the debates may continue into next year, as another 12 months at AC Milan is possible. In the summer, Milan took the option to renew the Serbian’s deal by 12 months, keeping him on a rolling contract as such. However, just weeks later, they tried to part ways with Jovic, in an unprecedented move. Over the next few months, it was more of the same, with the striker struggling with injuries, and the club wanting to part ways with him. Nevertheless, he remained…
Austin Reaves didn’t always “love” LeBron James. In fact, as a 12-year-old Kobe Bryant fan, he was trolling James on social media. In April 2012, Reaves posted “When I need some peace and quiet, I set my phone to LeBron Mode: No Ring,” a dig at LeBron’s slightly bad patch. So when Reaves joined the Lakers to team up with James in 2021, it set the scene for a dramatic relationship. However, over the years, he developed a strong bond with James, and this season they have been instrumental in turning around the Lakers’ fortunes as they clinched the No.…
“I am disappointed, as Milan are today a mix of many different problems,” Desailly told Sky Italia. “The season started badly, then there was a moment where they thought it was turning around, but everyone quickly realised this team lacks the leadership to be competitive. All the sides ahead of them in the Serie A table have a very clear philosophy. “Just look at Inter, who for years have assimilated the 3-5-2 system and now play by heart. I don’t think Milan have less individual talent than Inter, but they lack chemistry. “Sergio Conceicao’s arrival didn’t change much, as the…
It has been a difficult season for Milan generally, and the Futuro have not been able to avoid the problems in their debut season. In fact, their woes have probably strengthened arguments about things generally. Nevertheless, the outside noise is being quietened by Massimo Oddo’s young team, who recorded their third successive victory this afternoon, against a Ternana side who have been fighting for the title nearly all season. It is a huge result in the season, and it could have longer benefits for the head coach, considering the project’s sporting director was in attendance. Speaking after the game, though,…
As Maignan hit the ground in the 52nd minute, many feared the worst. The collision with Alex Jimenez was indeed a nasty one, especially since it occurred at such a high speed, and the goalkeeper had to go to the hospital immediately for further checks. Thankfully, as was confirmed by the club already this morning, Maignan avoided any serious head injury and was discharged from the hospital at 9 am. He will be under observation until Tuesday, when new tests will take place to determine when he can return to training. On his social media accounts this evening, Maignan addressed…
Thomas Partey shared a heartfelt message on social media following his goal against Brentford and potential injury concern ahead of Arsenal’s second-leg Champions League quarter-final bout with Real Madrid. Although Mikel Arteta’s squad could only pick up a point against the Bees at The Emirates, Partey’s goal was one to remember. Declan Rice carried the ball from Arsenal’s box all the way to the other side of the field and laid it off for the Ghanaian to finish However, eight minutes after Partey had scored, jubilation turned into distress when the 31-year-old was taken off by Arteta The Gunners manager…
The Los Angeles Lakers have a huge hole in the middle to fill heading into the offseason. The current starting center, Jaxson Hayes, is set to become a free agent, and it’s unclear whether the Lakers are interested in retaining him. The Lakers have already tipped their hand in wanting to acquire a center via trade after reaching an agreement at the trade deadline with the Charlotte Hornets for center Mark Williams. That deal was nullified after Williams failed his physical, so the Lakers still have the need for a viable starting center option. There are a few intriguing options…
The Los Angeles Lakers are gearing up for the playoffs as the regular season winds down. They think that they have an opportunity to make a deep run with the roster that they have. While the Lakers are considered a title contender, not every team in the NBA has the same luxury. Some are already trying to set their roster up for next year. That includes the Toronto Raptors, who are one of the worst teams in the league. They are one of the many teams in the NBA who are trying to tank for Cooper Flagg. A former Lakers…
