The Los Angeles Lakers coming in on a six-game winning streak will host the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, March 4. Lakers released their injury updates ahead of the clash highlighting the availability of players for the game. The Lakers who are currently second in the Western Conference will play the Pelicans first time since November 2024. Moreover, the last time Pelicans managed to beat on their turf was back in February 2022. JJ Reddick and his men have a stellar record against the Pelicans winning eight of their last 10 games against them. However, The Pelicans (17-44) who are…
Luis Enrique insisted that his team could become better without the France captain, and he’s being proven right so far this season. Vitinha still can’t quite get his head around the fact that he got to play in the same side as Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. “It was like a dream,” the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder told The Times earlier this month. “It just didn’t feel real for a long time… I will remember it for the rest of my career because I played with the best. It’s something I will tell my children, and my grandchildren, one day.…
A report this morning has made the rather surprising claim that Sergio Conceicao is unhappy with how some of the AC Milan squad are looking after themselves. As La Repubblica (via MilanPress) reports this morning, it is well known that Conceicao is strict when it comes to the standards that he expects from his players, especially in terms of commitment and effort levels. The Portuguese coach does not allow mistakes when it comes to the professionalism of his players and for this reason at Milan for the last two months everything has been monitored daily at Milanello, with some negative…
During this season, AC Milan fans have not been afraid to show their emotions to the players, management and head coach, but it reached a boiling point this week. Against Bologna, we saw a glimpse of what things could be like with another poor result, and when the Curva Sud announced another protest, this time for the game against Lazio, there were no surprises. It has not been a shock to hear areas of the ground protest this season, whether it be against Gerry Cardinale, the head coach or even players, but Sunday’s was much different. An empty start, then…
History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes, and that is the case for Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao who face being benched again, by a different coach. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) recall, back in August a Portuguese manager – Paulo Fonseca – sent them to the bench as a punishment for what happened during the game against Parma. On Saturday in Lecce it will be Conceiçao who decides their fate, and it will likely be the same. Playing away could have been a welcome break, even if away from home Milan has collected 17 points, seven…
Antonio Cassano slammed Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi following a heartbreaking 1-1 draw against Napoli last weekend. Speaking to Viva el Futbol via FCInter1908, Cassano voiced his concerns over Inzaghi’s tactical rigidness. Federico Dimarco fired Inter in front midway through the first half with a stunning free kick. However, Philip Billing broke Nerazzurri’s hearts in the 87th minute as he drew Napoli level. It was nothing less than Antonio Conte’s side deserved after demolishing Inzaghi’s charges in the second half. Indeed, Inter failed to attempt a single shot after the break, delivering an awful performance. Whether it was a tactical…
Mats Hummels sent an amusing message to Roma coach Claudio Ranieri after being dropped again. ‘The Oscar for the longest vacation goes to…’ The centre-back had been a regular since Ranieri took over at the Stadio Olimpico, flourishing to become one of the leaders of the squad. However, he has made only two competitive starts since January 17, left on the bench for the entirety of the other seven matches between Serie A, the Coppa Italia and Europa League. Ranieri had explained that the 36-year-old required “rest” and to focus on a specific training schedule in order to get back…
A report from Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that Milan stars Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez are both expected to leave the club at the end of the season, with head coach Sergio Conceiçao contemplating benching them in the upcoming Serie A fixture against Lecce. The atmosphere has shifted dramatically since the formidable duo was instrumental in the Rossoneri’s triumphant Scudetto campaign nearly three years ago, as the two players are now facing criticism and diminishing form. While the Portuguese star has contributed two goals and two assists in his side’s last five Serie A outings, his performances have been erratic,…
A bunker courtroom next to the imposing San Vittore prison in central Milan will host a fast-track trial for 16 of the 19 people arrested last year for serious crimes including criminal conspiracy aggravated by mafia methods, a charge usually reserved for the country’s most powerful criminal organisations. The alleged crimes involve activities around the iconic San Siro stadium on matchdays, from ticket touting to control of parking, sales from concession stands and taking payment from people without tickets and letting them into the stadium. Among those awaiting trial are Renato Bosetti and Luca Lucci, the two heads of the…
Francesco Totti gave his opinion on Roma’s on-going search for a new head coach. The legendary Roma captain appeared on Viva el Futbol channel conducted by Antonio Cassano, Lele Adani and Nicola Ventola. “To win the Scudetto in Rome, great coaches are needed, but above all great players,” said the former number 10. “Something more is needed than what I see, today Roma deserves fifth-sixth place, no more. There are stronger teams at the moment. Roma needs Ancelotti, but he won’t come. And if he came, he would tell you: what team is this?” “If I were to be the…
