It’s a Tuesday night at the iconic San Siro stadium as AC Milan kicks off against Liverpool in their Champions League opener. It hasn’t even been three minutes of action and Christian Pulisic has already scored. Running down the right wing with dogged determination, the 26-year-old American picks up the ball and drives toward Alisson’s goal. His Milan teammates call for the ball as they enter the box, but Pulisic only has one thing on his mind and places it on the far post as the Brazilian goalkeeper has no chance to stop it. 1-0 to Milan. Liverpool end up…
A week ago, Paulo Fonseca was heavily linked with an exit after a poor start to the season with AC Milan. Against all odds, however, the Rossoneri managed to beat Inter and after yesterday’s win against Lecce, they are now top of the standings. The start to the season certainly involved a lot of turbulence, with Fonseca seemingly getting very little right in the first five games of the season. Following the impressive win in the derby, the crisis has been averted and that was confirmed by yesterday’s 3-0 win against Lecce. As highlighted by today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport…
Former Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini weighed in on the situation in the Italian capital in the aftermath of De Rossi’s dismissal. In an interview with Adnkronos, Sabatini said, “Totti? I hope that Roma offers him an executive role in the future. It’s a role that rightfully belongs to Francesco.” “Roma-Athletic? First half was good, while the second half less so, but the team is not yet in great physical shape. They need a few more games to get going.” “But overall, if they don’t concede this stupid goal, it would have been a good win. The Basques are always…
After clinching the third consecutive win in the league, beating Lecce 3-0, Paulo Fonseca was understandably happy as he spoke to the media afterwards. He admitted that it wasn’t easy after the big game last weekend but that his players responded well. It was important for Milan to build on the derby victory and although the performance wasn’t brilliant throughout the 90 minutes, they showed just how prolific they can be. Some of the stars stepped up and after that, the Rossoneri hit cruise control. Speaking to Sky Italia after the game, as cited by MilanNews, Fonseca shared his thoughts on the…
Liverpool are looking around for potential Mo Salah replacements and a report has claimed that AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic has left them impressed. There is no doubting that Salah has established himself as a modern Liverpool great since his move from Roma, amassing 215 goals and 93 assists in 356 games for them across all competitions, leading them to a Champions League and a Premier League title. However, as Calciomercato.it point out, he is 32 years of age now and has less than one year left on his deal which has forced their management too think about the future. Real Madrid’s Rodrygo…
As reported today by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning’s print edition, the switch to the ‘4-2-4’ formation module really paid off for Fonseca. It is indeed a bold tactic which debuted in the derby against Inter. The head coach, Paulo Fonseca, continues to look for ways to improve the attack, but also the defensive line. In fact, the Rossoneri’s defence is already working better. In two matches, they have conceded only one goal. Now, the pressing tendency from the four attackers is more evident. As reported today by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning’s print edition,…
Alvaro Morata surprised everyone when announcing he had separated from wife Alice Campello, but the influencer has hinted she is getting back together with the Milan striker. The couple had been together since 2016 and have four children, Alessandro and Leonardo aged 6, Edoardo 4 and Bella 1. They had announced the separation just days after Morata’s transfer to Milan, reportedly because she was unwilling to move away from Madrid, despite the fact she is Italian. Today Campello posted an Instagram Stories image of her and the children in a plane with the message: ‘Milano, 27.09.2024, new starts.’ It is not…
Theo Hernandez, after the victory against Lecce last night, spoke to Sky Sport Italia and dropped hints about his future: “I am very happy here, the people care about me, and the team cares about me, and that’s the most important thing.” During the spring, he was hypothetically targeted by Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, but neither club ever seriously knocked on Milan’s door with a 100 million euros offer for him. Theo is happy in Milan, feels like a leader, and sees himself as a key figure within the club, writes Milannews.it. Theo’s demands for the renewal…
Even though the performance wasn’t always brilliant, especially at the start of the game, AC Milan eventually came to life against Lecce and showed once again that they have one of the best attacks in the league. It has been a very good week for the Rossoneri, first beating Inter 2-1 in the derby and then Lecce 3-0 yesterday evening. As highlighted by today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), Milan’s attacking numbers are a sign of vitality and creativity. After six league games, they have found the back of the net 14 times, which is…
AC Milan could not be in better spirits after an 89th-minute derby winner against Inter Milan on Sunday, and they usually enjoy the visits of Lecce to the San Siro as well. The Rossoneri are unbeaten in the last 12 home head-to-heads, winning 10 of those and with four of the last five meetings here ending in a home win to nil. Lecce have had two tough away games to start the season, starting with a 2-0 defeat on this ground against Inter followed by a creditable 0-0 draw at leaders Torino, so maybe it won’t all be plain…
