The whole AC Milan world are still processing Paulo Fonseca’s rather explosive press conference ahead of the Udinese game yesterday, one in which he tried to stress that he is the man in charge. As MilanNews writes, it was an unexpectedly fierce Fonseca who appeared before the journalists in the Milanello conference room yesterday, still evidently angry about the behaviour and attitudes of some of his players in the Fiorentina defeat before the break, more than the performances themselves. “For me it was very important to talk about the match with Fiorentina yesterday even before Udinese,” he said. It is…
The credit that Paulo Fonseca built up after the derby win against Inter has expired, and he must once again put together a run of results otherwise he could lose his job. As Calciomercato.com write, the victory against the Nerazzurri led a lot of fans to believe that Fonseca had made a cohesive team ready to compete for the title but this notion melted like snow in the sun with the two defeats against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League and Fiorentina before the break. The latter in particular brought to the surface all the dressing room problems that Milan…
The news first emerged yesterday evening and it is being confirmed this morning by various sources: Rafael Leao will start tonight’s game against Udinese from the bench. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), the decision has nothing to do with the fact that Leao’s words with Portugal attracted a lot of attention, given he spoke about feeling trust from the head coach Roberto Martinez. Nonetheless, Fonseca’s choice remains very strong because the winger will not be a starter tonight at San Siro against Udinese. No punishment is behind the decision, but simple management of resources in view of…
“The Italian Milan Club Association announces that during today’s Milan – Udinese match the banners will be displayed upside down. This choice is dictated by the latest, hasty and incomprehensible decisions of the company in the face of which we want, however, to make our presence and closeness to the team felt. We do not understand and the logic of this behavior by the company escapes us by virtue of a partnership that has been built and consolidated over time but which above all is founded on mutual and effective collaboration, on constant dialogue and comparison, principles in which we…

The former Liverpool manager will become the new global soccer head for the Austria-based company. He will not have any say in the running of Red Bull’s Formula 1 efforts, but star driver Verstappen was still asked what he thinks about the affable German’s arrival. He said: “I knew already for quite a long time that they were talking and it was close to being signed. I think it is great. Red Bull is investing a lot also in football with the teams they have and there is a lot of talent that has come through already. “With someone like…

Francesco Camarda is the next big thing in Italian football, and for that reason, AC Milan have a lot of pressure to nurture him correctly. However, the club has recently been criticised for their handling of the youngster. If things go as planned, Camarda will not only be the star of Milan, but also the Italian National Team for years to come, and this is why the Rossoneri are being cautious. At the youth level, the striker impressed heavily year after year, and this is why he deserved a promotion. Instead of loaning him out, the club would prefer to…

Baylor Scheierman was a standout 3-point shooter throughout a five-year collegiate career before the Boston Celtics selected the Creighton product 30th overall in the first round of this year’s NBA draft. But so far, it hasn’t panned out. Granted, it’s still (very) early to jump the gun on Scheierman. The 24-year-old shot an atrocious 17.6% from three — on 3.4 attempts — while averaging three points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists through five preseason appearances (11.6 minutes per game). If anyone can relate to ascending from the ground up as an outside shooting specialist it’s teammate Sam Hauser, who isn’t…
