Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave a rousing speech to the AC Milan team and staff in the dressing room after the Supercoppa Italiana triumph over Inter. It was a very dramatic night to say the least, as Milan came from two goals down against their city rivals to win it in the last minute. Theo Hernandez and Christian Pulisic got the Rossoneri level, then Tammy Abraham netted in the third minute of added time. Milan have shared a clip which shows the speech that Ibrahimovic said to the squad at full-time, with the message being that it must be a starting point,…
Premier League outfit Tottenham are emerging as potential rivals to Roma in their attempt to sign Inter midfielder and Italy international Davide Frattesi according to reports in Italy. Frattesi has reportedly been considering his future in recent weeks, as he has struggled to cement a place in the starting line-up under Simone Inzaghi following his move from Sassuolo in the summer of 2023. Despite his lack of consistent playing time with Inter, the 25-year-old is a regular under Luciano Spalletti with the Italy national team, and has scored more goals for the Azzurri than any other player since the CT’s…
Theo Hernandez is getting ready to face a familiar foe tonight in Denzel Dumfries, while Sergio Conceicao has begun a mission to get him back to his best. As La Gazzetta dello Sport recall, Conceicao did not give any of his players much affection during half-time of the Juventus game, but the image circulating of the hug with Theo at full-time after the 2-1 win have struck a chord. After the full-time whistle, there was a huddle in which Ismael Bennacer spoke. Conceiçao arrived when the players were lined up and he chose to stand next to Theo Hernandez. He…
After Friday night’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Dallas Mavericks are entering the most important part of their season. They will play multiple big games against elite contenders with many players injured or ill with a mysterious locker room sickness that has plagued the team since the end of November. Despite the team facing plenty of adversity less than halfway through the season, some players have taken advantage of extended playing time with superstar Luka Doncic likely sidelined for the remainder of the month due to the calf strain that he suffered on Christmas Day against the Minnesota Timberwolves.…
Dallas guard Kyrie Irving is expected to miss one to two weeks with a bulging disc in his back, and Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said a timeline for his return was not immediately known. Kidd, speaking before the Mavericks take on the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, didn’t shed much light on the injury or when Irving could return.
The Golden State Warriors are currently amid one of the most embarrassing streaks in the NBA. They started the season 12-3 and were the top seed in the Western Conference, but they have since slid down the standings and are now in ninth place and expected to make the NBA Play-In Tournament, which is where their season ended last year. Unlike other recently struggling teams like the Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans and Miami Heat, the Warriors don’t seem to have any internal turmoil or season-altering injuries to use as an excuse. Instead, the Steve Kerr-led team must confront a…
The Golden State Warriors are looking to bolster their roster in the 2024-25 NBA season. One trade rumor the team has been monitoring involves Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson. However, Golden State isn’t interested in acquiring the Nets player; instead, it is looking to make a move for an Indiana Pacers forward. Per NBA Insider Brett Siegel, a potential trade involving Johnson could involve the Pacers’ Obi Toppin and Aaron Nesmith. The Nets aren’t interested in taking significant salaries, so Siegel reports that Golden State is attentive to absorbing Nesmith, who has two more years left (after the 2024-25 season)…
Jorge Mendes could have a big hand in some of the operations involving Italian clubs in the coming weeks and months, and that especially applies to AC Milan now. La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Mendes has ‘consolidated relationships with the major clubs’ including Milan, given that he represents star winger Rafael Leao and the new head coach Sergio Conceicao. On Leao, the paper states that the player has asked Mendes to test the waters in view of the summer, even if for now the agent is keeping quiet on things and doing more in the background. Francisco Trincao seems…
The Frenchman spoke to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset after the match, via FCInterNews. Milan got a huge win in the context of their season in the Supercoppa Italiana final this evening. Playing in their second ever match under Sergio Conceicao, the Rossoneri made it two comeback victories in a row. But while the 2-1 win over Juventus in the Supercoppa semifinal was a big boost in confidence for Milan, this was something else entirely. The Rossoneri were facing their city rivals Inter. The derby is certainly always a unique match for both teams. And the Nerazzurri have certainly looked a stronger…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was prone to ruffling feathers of his opponents during his esteemed 24-year career, though he also managed to annoy a fellow AC Milan legend even after they had retired. Alessandro Costacurta spent over 20 years at AC Milan between 1986 and 2007, apart from a year’s loan spell at Monza in 1986, making over 750 appearances in total. During his time at San Siro he won seven Serie A titles, five Champions League/European Cups, and the Coppa Italia. The defender also formed a crucial part of Arrigo Sacchi’s famed side of the late 1980s, though that doesn’t stop…
