Manchester City have begun looking for Kevin De Bruyne’s replacement, and the target identified will have AC Milan on alert. As CaughtOffside write, City are on the hunt to fill some very big shoes given that De Bruyne won six Premier League titles with them and is without a doubt one of the best players in their history. They need a creative midfielder, and though Florian Wirtz is on their list, a new name has emerged. City see Atalanta’s Charles De Ketelaere as a potential successor to De Bruyne and he is the main alternative to Wirtz at present. They…
The first thing I’m very aware of is that I’m a specific type of player and I can show my best qualities in a formation with two strikers. As for the current club, in Milan, whenever we play with two forwards and I get a chance, it looks much better than when I’m alone up front. At Eintracht, I played with two strikers and I had a fantastic season. Then I went to Real Madrid. Honestly, Real wasn’t my first choice. I wanted to stay in Frankfurt. A few games before the end, when I already knew I would be…
Everton did near-neighbours Liverpool a favour by taking points off Arsenal in a 1-1 draw but judging by the Gunners’ performance they have already checked out of the title race. With the gap to the leaders still 11 points, Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final at home to Real Madrid has far greater significance for their season and that was reflected in Mikel Arteta’s team selection. The result offers Arne Slot’s champions-elect the chance to put any doubts about the outcome of the title to bed at Fulham on Sunday. But Arteta will have left his former Goodison Park home already thinking…
Mikel Arteta spoke to TNT Sports after today’s 1-1 draw with Everton. Here’s what the boss had to say. On the performance … Well, especially with the result, very unhappy. Very tough place to come. I think that it’s very physical, very direct. If you don’t deal with that constantly well, you never get any momentum, so it’s very difficult. We went ahead to finally find more control and try to generate more chances, but the start of the second half was very poor, we immediately gave the ball away. We were just insecure what we did, and then the…
Following the return of Bukayo Saka, there has been a real buzz around the club again, although it was somewhat stifled by the injury suffered by Gabriel Magalhaes. Mikel Arteta will here highlight a potential hint for his plan to deal with the Brazilian’s absence. It could be that both Jurrien Timber and Ben White are leaned on more but both have suffered with their own availability issues in the last week. However, Arteta did confirm they were indeed in contention for the clash this weekend. It could be a big week for Jakub Kiwior who Arteta has sincerely backed…
The Milwaukee Bucks will tonight attempt to slow down the Miami Heat, who had won six straight prior to their last game against the Grizzlies (where they lost at the buzzer). Milwaukee has performed well against Miami this season, winning all three prior matchups. Where We’re At After losing four in a row, the Bucks have won their last two. They continue to make things very hard for themselves, but they’ve found ways to get it done; granted, against teams they should have beaten handily. Can Milwaukee have a game where they improve at the little things—low turnovers, good defensive…
Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant is back to making headlines and creating buzz across the NBA– but once again, for all the wrong reasons. On Tuesday evening, Morant was issued a warning from the league after flashing a finger-gun gesture against the Golden State Warriors. Apparently unfazed, the Memphis guard made yet another gesture on Thursday night, this time against the Miami Heat. Morant wasn’t able to get off with just a warning this time around, as it was announced on Friday that the NBA had fined him $75,000 for his actions. The league had previously warned him that…
Ferran Torres has sparked interest in Italy following the fantastic season he is having! Once again, Joao Félix has disappointed with his play in a new team, this time at AC Milan where he hasn’t managed to find his place. The Italian team had high hopes for the Portuguese forward, but it all ended in an illusion. His beginnings were promising, scoring a goal in his debut against Roma in a Cup match. Two months after this match, Joao Félix hasn’t scored again, and his performances haven’t allowed him to establish himself with the Rossoneri. His adventure with the Milan…
This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that Calhanoglu will play in a box-to-box midfield role. Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has a few factors to juggled in naming his midfield trio to face Parma this evening in Serie A. First of all, there are a couple of notable absences. Nicola Barella will sit the match out as he serves a one-match suspension. And Piotr ZIelinski is still out with a calf injury. Then, there is the question of squad rotation, Inzaghi will be wary of overusing key players with the team playing twice a…
The Dallas Mavericks have seen a massive downfall in fan support since the team surprisingly traded away Luka Doncic. The city had adopted Doncic as one of its own, and to see him cast away to the side has left fans wondering why they should even support the Mavericks. In a move to try and win back the fans, the Mavs announced late Friday night that they would be providing tickets to the Play-In Tournament to all season ticket members if they were to host the 9/10 game of the Play-In. Dallas is currently in line to be the…
