Lando Norris’ old comments have been dug up by angry Lewis Hamilton fans after the McLaren star’s frustrating Italian Grand Prix. Norris crossed the line third and missed out on maximum points, which would have been a major boost on an afternoon when title rival Max Verstappen limped home in sixth. With more podiums than any other outfit in 2024, McLaren are the form team in F1. Oscar Piastri’s P2 and Norris’ P3 at Monza leaves the team only eight points behind the floundering Red Bulls in the Constructors’ Championship. It’s clear that Norris and his team-mate are driving the fastest car in the field, but…
Spain captain, Alvaro Morata will reportedly part with half of his earnings during his marriage to his ex-wife after their divorce. Morata, 31, and Alice Campello, 29, separated in mid-August after seven years of marriage and four children together. Their relationship reportedly turned sour after an incident during Spain’s Euro 2024 victory celebration on the pitch. According to Marca, the duo had a ‘fight’ on the pitch after Spain had beaten England in the Euro 2024 final in Germany, and things escalated. It is reported that Alice was keen for only herself, her children and her friends to be on the…
Former Ferrari Formula 1 driver Giancarlo Fisichella says it will be “difficult” to host a race in Tanzania – but insists it is a “serious project”. F1 hasn’t visited Africa since 1993, when the most recent South African Grand Prix was held at Kyalami. There has been talk for a few years now of a return to that track, but despite plenty of exploration of the project it has yet to materialise. But there are other countries on the continent which are also keen on taking a slice of the F1 pie. Tanzania is one of them and Italian driver Fisichella, a…
The international break is upon us, and that means that a number of AC Milan players will be jetting off to various parts of the globe in order to represent their country. After three games in Serie A, the first break of the season is here: the Nations League in Europe, World Cup 2026 qualifiers in Africa and South America, and then friendlies in other countries. It was a busy summer in terms of major tournaments and several Rossoneri players have already left Milanello after being called up by their respective national teams, with the official website providing the details…
At present, we are awaiting an update from AC Milan and Inter about their thoughts on the San Siro renovation project, and Mayor Sala has spoken about the plans from the city, and what is needed. In the past few months, it has seemed increasingly likely that Milan will move to San Donato when the time allows. They have begun several processes to prepare for the new stadium, and given they have already bought land, their preferred outcome is seemingly obvious. With that in mind, they have not completely ruled out the idea of remaining at San Siro. They have…
Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, has sacked his agent Roberto Calenda amid his transfer saga, according to Il Mattino (via TMW). Osimhen is said to be pissed off by Calenda’s incompetence, as he tried to engineer a permanent move away from the Serie A side. It is believed that the Nigeria international even negotiated his loan move to Galatasaray without an agent. Osimhen was expected to leave Napoli on deadline day, with Al Ahli and Chelsea trying to complete deals but nothing happened. Calenda was heavily criticised on social media for messing up the deals. It is understood that Osimhen employed…
Luciano Spalletti vowed that he will ‘build a new team’ after Italy’s disappointment at EURO 2024 this summer, and gave specific details about how he plans to set the squad up tactically. Spalletti sat down for his press conference ahead of Nations League fixtures against France and Israel on Friday and next Monday, respectively. The CT spent a lot of time analysing the shortcomings at the European Championship, apologising to fans for the experience they went through, and taking all the responsibility away from his players. Spalletti suggested that he demanded too much from his team, particularly in defence and in the…
Alongside new signing Tammy Abraham, Giorgio Furlani was present at Casa Milan to discuss the mercato and the Rossoneri’s new signing. There are two ways to view the summer. Either you’re a fan, or you’re not. Football is never black and white, but in this case, it is fair to suggest it is. Milan recruited a new head coach and renovated the team in his vision. Perhaps, the window was spot on, as a window of transition. The opposing argument to this is that the Rossoneri failed to properly offer a window of transition to the new manager. Joshua Zirkzee,…
AC Milan have two notable renewals to sort in the next 12 months, those of Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan. Given the complexities of the Theo deal, the goalkeeper may have to wait for negotiations to finalise, but things are moving in the right direction. The summer mercato was massive for Milan. Not only did they bring in a new manager, but they also remoulded the squad somewhat. It can be argued, though, that the biggest win so-to-speak was the retentions of their stars. Interest in big players will always exist, and it is no shock that interest in Rafael…
Tammy Abraham joined AC Milan on Deadline Day, and he made an immediate impact on his debut, assisting Rafael Leao in the 2-2 draw against Lazio. Today, he spoke to the press about his move to Milano, and why he wanted the move so badly. The ‘third striker’ saga occurred for the majority of the latter parts of the window. Once Alvaro Morata signed, attention moved to other positions, but Milan continued to evaluate forward options available to them. It seemed like the Rossoneri were going to leave the department as it was for a large part, but after Alvaro…
