With Ismael Bennacer’s injury, AC Milan are once again looking short in the midfield – not a new problem. There have been some suggestions that the Rossoneri should once again attempt Adrien Rabiot, but Franco Ordine believes it should be the other way around. During the summer, Milan made several efforts to capture Rabiot’s signature, and the saga looked relatively dead last week with the Frenchman rejecting the latest offer from the Diavolo. Instead, he is in favour of a move to Barcelona, a move that seems improbable. He is, of course, a subject of interest, and he was made an offer…
Former AC Milan striker Bobo Vieri has commented on his former club’s start to the season, and although some already are anxious about how the season could end, the pundit is holding out hope. For a club like Milan, coming away from the first three games with nine points is the expectation. Sometimes, clubs cannot hold up to expectations, and often, it can be forgiven, but starting a season with two points is unforgettable. The Rossoneri are yet to win a game in Serie A, and they are deserving of this fact. In each of the opening games, they have looked…
The icon LeBron James will soon get his 22nd season in the NBA underway with the Los Angeles Lakers and, at 39, remains one of the league’s most decisive players. However, the California franchise know the forward’s retirement isn’t far off and have reportedly already started making plans. Towards the end of August, journalist Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer claimed the Lakers have set their sights on acquiring Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic as their new leader in the post-LeBron era. O’Connor believes the two teams could come to a blockbuster trade agreement, after Doncic has signed a $346 million, five-year deal with the…
AC Milan have been dealt a major injury blow ahead of their clash with Liverpool. The Italian giants will lock horns with Arne Slot’s side at the San Siro on Tuesday night as the new-look Champions League begins. A so-called ‘Swiss model’ has been implemented this season, which increases the number of competing sides in the tournament from 32 to 36. Rather than operate a standard group stage, like previously, a league phase has been formed to guarantee teams at least eight games. Not every club in the Champions League will play each other, with UEFA seeding a draw to determine fixtures.…
Due to Ismael Bennacer’s injury, AC Milan may have to look to the Futuro squad for support, and this could mean Silvano Vos features for the senior team within his first month at the club. The midfield was an area of interest throughout the window for Milan, and once they landed Youssouf Fofana, there were talks of another player coming through the door. Reportedly efforts were made for Manu Kone, and the Rossoneri held an interest in Samuele Ricci, but the player to arrive was Vos. Originally, it seemed the deal could be done in the region of €10 million,…
Paolo Maldini, legendary captain and former director of AC Milan, was interviewed at Coverciano by reporters, including colleagues from TMW. Do you like Serie A? “I like it, without a doubt: it’s a championship that’s not too highly regarded, but technically, tactically, and in terms of knowledge, it’s in the top 3. The starting grid? It’s the usual one. Inter is the most equipped team, then there have been many changes in various rivals who need a little time to pull the team together.” What do you think of Yacine Adli? “He found little space at Milan in his first…
Throughout the summer, AC Milan were intent on adding Youssouf Fofana to their midfield but had things gone differently in their pursuit, the Rossoneri had a plan B prepared. Although Milan spent all summer courting Fofana, at several points it seemed like the deal would not be completed, and therefore, when it came to light that other options were being considered it did not come as a shock. There were two real points where the deal seemed unlikely to happen. Firstly, when Manchester United entered the equation, and secondly when Monaco continued to reject any incoming offers. However, with the…
AC Milan have failed to start their season positively, and Paulo Fonseca must look to the past for inspiration with some important games ahead. Fonseca is already facing scrutiny, and his position as the head coach could be shortlived if results do not improve soon. With the expectations set for the season, and the Portuguese coach in general, things must get better before they get worse. The bar, though, is on, or near the floor. Two points from three games is abysmal, luckily, there is a golden chance to save the season already, or perhaps, it is an early chance…
Former Lazio player and ex-Porto manager Sergio Conceição was asked to discuss his past in the Italian capital. While talking to Radiosei, Conceição reiterated his fondness for the Biancolesti. When asked about his future plans given his recently expired contract with Porto, Conceição did not hide his animosity towards Roma. “I have never forgotten Lazio. I had a great time here, I often come to Rome and the Lazio fans have remained in my heart,” said the Portuguese coach. “I’m a professional, you never know where I might end up. This city certainly filled my heart. I continue to say ‘Forza…
Fabio Capello admits that Milan need ‘strong Italian players’ in their team, but 16-year-old wonderkid Francesco Camarda still isn’t ready for a senior Azzurri call-up. More and more Italian fans want to see promising young players debut for the national team, and Camarda surely is one of the most exciting talents in the country. Despite that, ex-Milan coach Capello feels the 16-year-old still needs time before making his international debut. “Camarda still needs time. He can’t make a triple jump from Serie C to the national team,” Capello told Gazzetta. “I hope he does well with Milan Futuro and then…
