The Baltimore Orioles haven’t played well since the All-Star break. For the first time in about two years, the Orioles are being tested more than ever. It’s not too surprising to see a young team struggle when things get tough. They didn’t do that last season, and while they dealt with some injuries then, their current struggles seem to be because of their lack of health. If Baltimore were healthy, there would be more to say about how they’ve played. However, when a team deals with as many injuries as they have, it’s tough to ask for too much. Nonetheless, the Orioles…
Before the Derby della Madonnina, Gerry Cardinale spoke about several things such as changing Serie A, and why he purchased AC Milan. Today, the interview has been released, and the owner could begin speaking more after the win against Inter. Criticism has been rife for everyone at Milan this season, and some has been directed at Cardinale for several reasons. Starting the season as the Rossoneri did always opens the door to negativity, and the owner has certainly been a focus. In the summer mercato, the Diavolo had a net spend of around €40 million, and the owner wanted to…
After their 1-2 victory against Inter, AC Milan now top the table in terms of goals scored in Serie A, a place where they should remain for at least the rest of this gameweek. Coming away from last night’s derby win, several positives can be taken. Of course, the list is topped by several other things, such as performance, effort, tactics, and the result itself. However, Milan now are the top goalscorers in the league so far. After the two goals scored by Christian Pulisic and Matteo Gabbia, the Rossoneri have now notched up 11 goals in five Serie A…
Before the derby, there had been suggestions of a split at AC Milan in several ways. However, against Inter, the Rossoneri were a united team, so what changed? Well, a report has suggested Paulo Fonseca hosted a special event to unify things, and it seemingly paid off. Questions have been asked about Milan since the opening day draw against Torino, and with poor results against Parma and Lazio, speculation was rife about the reasoning. Reports began suggesting there were splits within the group, and with Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao not joining a team gathering against Lazio a flame was…
Goalkeeper Yann Sommer was the best performer and a rare bright spot for Inter Milan in their slumping Serie A loss to AC Milan. This is the view in today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FC InterNews. Generally, a goalkeeper is not among a team’s outstanding performers in a match lost by two or more goals. But Inter keeper Sommer cannot face too much criticism for his display against Milan yesterday evening. The Swiss international gave a display of why he remains the starting keeper for the Nerazzurri despite the arrival of Josep Martinez as his…
Inter Milan wingback Matteo Darmian feels that a loss to AC Milan in the derby “won’t cancel out” what the Nerazzurri have built. The 34-year-old spoke to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews, after yesterday evening’s shock defeat in the derby. Inter experienced by far their biggest setback of the season yesterday evening. The Nerazzurri had gone into the derby against city rivals AC Milan with the tag of big favourites. Inter’s form this season so far had not been perfect. But there was a sense that they had maintained their momentum from last season more or less. Milan, on the…
Christian Pulisic is flying at AC Milan, with a derby goal against Inter seeing the USMNT star post a career first. WHAT HAPPENED? The United States international has been in fine form at the start of the 2024-25 campaign. He found the target on 15 occasions last season, with that return representing a personal best for the former Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea forward. THE BIGGER PICTURE Pulisic has found the going tough with his country of late – as a Copa America flop was followed by winless outings against Canada and New Zealand in the September international break – but…
Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez feels that he and his teammates “didn’t play like ourselves” in their Serie A loss to AC Milan. The Argentine reacted to the derby disappointment speaking to DAZN after the match, via FCInterNews. He stressed the need for the Nerazzurri to immediately turn the page. Inter’s sequence of six wins in the derby came to a screeching halt. The Nerazzurri lost 2-1 to city rivals AC Milan in this evening’s derby. That was the first time since September of 2022 that the Rossoneri have won in the fixture. And in truth, Inter were second best…
AC Milan scored on either side of an Inter Milan goal to win 2-1 and earn city bragging rights for the next few months. Nigeria’s Samuel Chukwueze was not named from the start but he came on to hand Noah Okafor a guilt-edge opportunity to confirm the result, but the Swiss striker squandered it. Nonetheless, the goals from Christian Pulisic and Matteo Gabbia were enough to hand the Rossoneri victory in the first Derby della Madonnina of the season. AC Milan burst out of the blocks, their high-octane start yielding an early reward. Christian Pulisic’s opportunistic interception allowed him to…
January 24, 2009, is a date former Manchester United right-back Richard Eckersley will never forget. Having joined United as a nine-year-old, he achieved his lifelong dream of making his first-team debut, stepping off the bench at Old Trafford. United were facing Tottenham Hotspur in an FA Cup fourth round tie and were 2-1 up when Sir Alex Ferguson ordered the Salford-born defender to get ready. Replacing Fabio, Eckersley came on after 53 minutes, taking his place in a team that featured Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Cristiano Ronaldo and Dimitar Berbatov, and helped United progress to the next round. “It was…
