AC Milan boss Paolo Fonesca insisted Liverpool’s loss to Nottingham Forest will make no difference in their Champions League showdown. The Reds suffered their first defeat of the Arne Slot era at the hands of Forest. After wins over Ipswich, Brentford and Manchester United, they slipped to a 1-0 reverse against Nuno Espirito Santo’s men at Anfield. Callum Hudson-Odoi netted the only goal in the 72nd minute. Liverpool now face a swift turnaround as their Champions League campaign begins against Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday night (20.00 BST). The Rossoneri have endured a difficult start to the campaign before cruising to a…
Venezia’s head coach, Eusebio Di Francesco, commented on the 4-0 defeat against Milan at San Siro last night. The Italian tactician said the following words: “We were really naive, we scored on ourselves. We conceded 4 goals in the first 4 chances, there are no excuses. I saw fragility, we need to work in this direction on the mental aspect. We got discouraged and lost focus.” He added: “I have doubts about Milan’s first penalty, the one on Abraham. The guys train hard, but both they and the fans need to understand that Serie A is very different from Serie…
AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca has a huge decision to make up front for Tuesday’s Champions League league phase opener against Liverpool at San Siro. After failing to win any of their first three matches of the season, the Rossoneri thumped Venezia 4-0 in Saturday’s Serie A contest, where Tammy Abraham won one penalty and scored another. The Roma loanee still faces intense competition for the number nine spot from fellow new arrival Alvaro Morata, but his stellar display at the weekend should see him keep his Spanish counterpart at bay from the first whistle. Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao also bagged a goal and assist apiece at the weekend and should…
USMNT star Christian Pulisic is set to face Liverpool in the Champions League this midweek with Arne Slot taking charge of his first European fixture with the Reds on Tuesday at the San Siro. And the 25-year-old former Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund forward will be hoping that Liverpool’s form from this weekend rolls over into the next fixture after a poor performance allowed Nottingham Forest to win 1-0 at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday. Slot’s men need to show a reaction from that defeat and make an instant improvement. “It’s the first Champions League game against a great…
AC Milan and Juventus were both linked with hiring Thiago Motta during the summer and it was the latter who eventually got him from Bologna, while the Rossoneri went for Paulo Fonseca. As La Gazzetta dello Sport write, three games is not a big enough sample size to draw any definitive judgements and yet in round four Milan will host Venezia while Juventus travel to Empoli, which precedes Inter-Milan and Juve-Napoli the following week. The contrast at present is obvious: Motta immediately put Juve on the right track with seven points from three games, Fonseca remained ‘entangled’ in the confusion of his side.…
AC Milan got their first win of the season against newly promoted side Venezia, thrashing them at the San Siro. Samuel Chukuweze was left on the bench despite his impressive outing with the Super Eagles during the international break. The winger played in a goalless draw against Rwanda and helped the Super Eagles defeat the Benin Republic 3-0. However, he failed to make the first eleven but came in as a substitute in AC Milan’s 4-0 thrashing of Venezia. AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca made four changes to his team that played a 2-2 draw against Lazio before the international break. Super…
Inter Milan have released a documentary commemorating their Serie A title last season. The title of the film is “Due Stelle Sul Cuore.” This reflects the fact that the Nerazzurri have won their “second star” by making it twenty Serie A titles in total in their history. Last season was certainly a memorable one for Inter. In Serie A, the Nerazzurri found spectacular form for much of the season. They won the title by a margin of nearly twenty points. Inter clinched the title with a derby win over city rivals AC Milan. That was the first time either side had…
Liverpool is set to face AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday, but there’s a chance that the match could be played amid thousands of empty seats. The Reds are kicking off their league phase campaign with a visit to San Siro – a stadium they haven’t been defeated at since 1965. Arne Slot’s players have had an impeccable start to their Premier League season, winning all three of their opening matches. They’ve yet to let in a single goal and will return to action post-international break when they host Nottingham Forest at Anfield this Saturday. The situation is…
New AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca got his first Serie A win in style. It couldn’t have come at a better time for the Rossoneri. A devastating opening half an hour set Milan on its way to a convincing 4-0 win over promoted Venezia on Saturday for its first victory of the season after two draws and a loss. The result and the manner of the victory are a timely confidence boost ahead of a crucial week. Fonseca’s team hosts Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday followed by a Serie A derby match against defending champion Inter Milan. Also,…
It is no secret that Boston fans do not like Kyrie Irving, and the feeling is mutual for the former Celtics All-Star. The hatred the two parties have for one another is likely to last well beyond Irving’s playing days. Irving just changed his Instagram profile picture to a photo of himself standing on the Boston Celtics logo. At first, it is hard to tell, but anyone familiar with their history can recognize this as a subtle shot at the franchise. The now Dallas Mavericks guard recently said, “Blood is definitely in the water” when talking about this past season’s finals matchup…
