After such a negative season, among the worst in the entire history of Milan, the management deemed it appropriate, if not necessary, to insert a real sporting director into the working team, a figure that has been missing since the departure of Ricky Massara, which took place in the summer of 2023. A choice so decisive and central that it cannot be wrong or made without strong conviction. That is why, unlike the disappointed fans, the Rossoneri club’s board does not look at the length of the casting process or the risks of planning the next season late. The blitz…
The playoff battleground is set ablaze at the Crypto.com Arena, where an under-the-radar force is lighting up the court for the Los Angeles Lakers. With the spotlight typically on marquee names, one player’s soaring performance is quietly redefining the team’s prospects. Emerging as a potent secret weapon, Austin Reaves is transforming the Lakers’ dynamics with his versatile game. Averaging career highs in points, assists, and rebounds, Reaves has become indispensable in stretching defenses and energizing late-game scenarios. His contributions are not merely statistical but strategic; when he scores 20 points or more, the Lakers boast an impressive record, signaling his…
Knowing your enemy is key in any battle. But in the grind of the NBA playoffs? It’s everything! And LeBron James knows this all too well as he gears up to face the Timberwolves in Game 1. However, it takes a lot more out of you to win in the postseason, something that James spoke candidly about. But mere hours away from tipoff, he made it clear: there’s one guy on the Timberwolves who makes them especially dangerous. And no—it’s not Ant-Man. Quite surprising, considering Anthony Edwards is almost unanimously heralded as the T-Wolves’ biggest star and the biggest threat…
As MilanNews writes, the first outing of the 3-4-3 system at the Bluenergy Stadium highlighted a number of things that can be built on, both by Conceicao in the season finale and potentially by a new coach. Firstly, the left side. The characteristics of Theo Hernandez, free from defensive roles, were on display more than in other games this season. Rafael Leao meanwhile got a goal and an assist, playing a bit further up the field. Tijjani Reijnders may have been playing in a double pivot alongside Youssouf Fofana, but that meant he was more involved in the build-up phase…
Serena, who won the Serie A with Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus, told SempreInter.com exclusively that Lautaro Martinez winner really rose to the occasion as captain against Bayern. However, Serena began by praising the impact that Carlos Augusto had. Especially in the away leg against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. “We have to give a special mention, with regards to the first leg, to Carlos Augusto. He played a great game. It is always difficult to do so for players who don’t always start, who play occasionally. “To have such versatile players, he can play both as a…
According to what is told by Tuttosport, currently, there are only five Italian players in Milan’s squad, namely Marco Sportiello, Matteo Gabbia, Alessandro Florenzi, Filippo Terracciano, and Riccardo Sottil. Aside from Gabbia, who has now returned to Conceição’s rotations, none are starters. And this, in the long run, has proven to be a weakness. Without going back to the Berlusconi era, even the team that won the league title with Pioli had Italian players as reference points: Davide Calabria, Sandro Tonali, Alessio Romagnoli, and Alessio Florenzi himself. It’s no secret that Milan, already since the end of 2024, has been…
With just weeks remaining in the season, desperation is setting in across Europe as teams scramble for three crucial points. Even the smallest mistake could have major consequences – whether it’s qualifying for European competition in 2025-26 or simply staying in the top flight. For several key American players, the pressure is especially intense. In Italy, Christian Pulisic is going to need to step up big as the Rossoneri desperately need three points. The U.S. international leads the club in a combined goals and assists across 2024-25 with nine goals and eight assists, and come Sunday, will need to wear…
The veteran England international joined the San Siro club during the January transfer window in an attempt to get his season back on track on a personal note, having endured various difficulties at the Etihad Stadium. Fitness and injury concerns, coupled with private matters away from the football pitch, led to Walker targeting a new challenge elsewhere in European competition, opting not to take up possibilities in Saudi Arabia, for example. While the agreement between Manchester City and AC Milan for Kyle Walker is only temporary, the two clubs agreed upon a purchase option for the defender which can be…
Milan were first linked with the Nigeria international back in the summer of 2022, but ironically missed out as Club Brugge used the money from Charles De Ketelaere’s sale to get a deal over the line. According to Soccernet in Nigeria, Onyedika has changed representatives in anticipation of a ‘high-profile summer move’. Manchester City and Bayern Munich are among the clubs keen on the midfielder, who is ‘widely expected to leave Brugge at the end of the season’. Onyedika signed for the Belgian club from FC Midtjylland in 2022 for €10m, Brugge are likely to demand more than €20m in…
Luka Dončić’s first assist to LeBron James was a 70-foot outlet pass resulting in an easy layup. Their offensive connection was immediate. “It’s kind of a pick-your-poison when you have two brainiacs when it comes to the game of basketball on the floor at the same time,” James said. Those long touchdown passes from Dončić to James are common – at least once a game it seems – illustrating 1) just how good of a rebounder Dončić is; 2) what an exceptional passer he is; and 3) the James-Dončić link has elevated the Los Angeles Lakers to title contender. The…
