Tijjani Reijnders’ improvement this season is visible, but it is also tangible, with the Dutchman notching up goals for fun for AC Milan. Last season, there were clear signs that Reijnders was a top player, but there was a need to add more goals to his game. This season, that problem is a distant memory, with the midfielder scoring his 10th goal of the season on Friday. His importance to this side is so clear, and this is why European elites are now taking notice, but Milan feel very secure in their position, and there is no desire to leave…

AC Milan made a switch to a three-back formation, as many of their Serie A rivals have done recently, and a report states that they must continue with ‘the way’. The change to a 3-4-3 has seemingly been in the works for some time, with Sergio Conceicao using the system at Porto occasionally. With such an impressive result, though, there is certainly an argument that the experiment can continue. In fact, it is an experiment that has worked so well for others already, as Il Giornale (via Milan News) write, and they will face those oppositions shortly, which may be…

Santiago Gimenez arrived in January, but has been largely disappointing since joining AC Milan. Hopefully, when he returns, it can begin to change. Arriving in January is always a difficult task for anyone, let alone a striker, who is tasked with the weight of the world. Of course, football can be as simple as putting the ball in the net, however, it is also a case of finding the right positions. Then, you must find solutions to the other players around you, and how they operate. So, it can become a lot more difficult, and this is without even taking…

AC Milan looked, for the first time in a long time, dominant on Friday night, and winning 4-0 is a testament to the performance. However, it now must be built upon. Scoring four goals will always be a positive, and when keeping a clean sheet alongside it, there are positive questions to be asked. For Sergio Conceicao, most of them have been, so why has this not been trialled sooner? As Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write, though, this was the earliest opportunity to change the system, feasibly at least. Since before the international break, the Portuguese coach has pondered…

Theo Hernandez has not done enough to justify his wage demands this season at AC Milan, but he is reportedly not worried about finances now, instead, he just wants to stay. The left-back for most of the season has been a level below what Milan know. It is a disappointing reality for everyone in that sense. However, the change to the 3-4-3 saw the dangerous left side return to their best. In recent years, the Theao combination has been unstoppable, and in Udine, this was the case. The pair combined brilliantly and were a constant danger, with both having a…

This weekend, Mike Maignan wore the captain’s armband once again, but following his injury, AC Milan were at risk of a fine for the rest of the game. The scenes of this weekend were harrowing, put simply. Maignan bravely attempted to win the ball aerially, but instead of finding the ball, he met with the shoulder of Alex Jimenez, which knocked the goalkeeper unconscious. To everyone’s credit, the match was stopped instantly, and medics quickly rushed onto the pitch, and just minutes later, the Frenchman was on his way to the hospital to get the medical care he needed. However,…

The regular season is winding down, and with it comes one last question before the playoffs begin: Who’s suiting up—and who’s sitting out? The Los Angeles Lakers have already clinched the third seed, but that doesn’t mean today’s game against the Trail Blazers doesn’t matter. On the surface, it’s just a season finale. But dig a little deeper, and it reveals a calculated strategy heading into the postseason. The stakes may not lie in the standings, but they do exist—in the form of player health, momentum, and long-term survival in a grueling postseason. And yes, that includes LeBron James. The…

With Mike Maignan’s injury, football takes a secondary, if not a tertiary, position. However, with the Frenchman seemingly ok, AC Milan are already thinking about his return. Despite Milan winning by four goals, there was a shadow on the game – Maignan’s injury. However, the past 36 hours have shown us largely positive signs, with the Frenchman seemingly OK, and ready to return when the time is right. According to this morning’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), that should be on Tuesday, after his second round of tests. On Friday, he was given the initial tests to…

Theo Hernandez, AC Milan’s French left-back, remains one of the most talked-about players in recent months. In fact, his contract expires in 2026 and there have been no recent updates regarding a possible renewal with the Rossoneri club. According to many transfer market rumours, the player could leave Milan in the summer, but the Italian journalist, Nicolo Schira, discussed the situation, revealing an interesting story. Theo receives “huge” offer. But… The former Real Madrid player has received a huge bid from a Saudi Club for the next season, but his priority is still staying at AC Milan. According to Schira,…

LeBron James moved gingerly to the bench, grabbing at the inside of his left leg midway through the third quarter. This, for the Lakers, was a possible worst-case scenario on a night when they could lock up their best-case scenario for the playoffs. A win against the Rockets with Houston sitting 80% of its starting lineup would lock the Lakers into the No. 3 seed, giving them and their starters an extended rest heading into the first round of the playoffs that would begin in more than a week inside their building. But losing James to a groin injury? That…
