The last version of Stefano Pioli’s Milan, fragmented between the lines and with a disastrous defensive phase, led the Rossoneri management to change the technical leadership after five long seasons. The excellent results achieved in Lille prompted the club to focus on Paulo Fonseca, but the impression is that in the end, the decision was made to change without really changing, as Tuttosport also wrote this morning. Compared to last season, the Rossoneri seems to have worsened further, and the match in Parma was, in a way, an unpleasant confirmation of this. “For now, the dominant team announced by Ibrahimovic and…

Oscar Haro spoke about Marc Marquez’s situation this season, facing formidable opponents like Pecco Bagnaia, Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini. For Haro, it’s clear that the Cervera rider is in for an all-out battle, but the question remains: can he really compete with this year’s dominant state-of-the-art Ducati machines? « Marc can clearly see the mechanical difference there is, it is enormous, ” underlines Haro, recalling the current superiority of Desmosedici GP24 on its predecessor GP23. “ Ducati is not going to give anything to Marc this year. They’re not going to give him anything because this would be politically incorrect towards other teams under contract…
McLaren’s F1 Academy driver, Bianca Bustamante, was recently heard singing Max Verstappen’s fan-made song during a practice session at the 2024 F1 Dutch GP. As the F1 circus flies to different destinations to race, feeder series like F2 and F1 Academy also sometimes travel alongside it for their championships. For the upcoming Dutch GP, which is the first race after the sport’s summer break, both F1 and F1 Academy arrived at Zandvoort. On Friday, F1 Academy drivers also had their first and second practice sessions. While driving her ART GP car around the circuit, Bustamente started singing the famous song…
Max Verstappen has stated Red Bull’s high tyre degradation at the Dutch Grand Prix was a “weird” issue for the team to endure. Red Bull has traditionally been quite strong with its tyre management and it was one of its strongest traits that delivered it championship success across the last handful of seasons. However, it has been caught by rival F1 teams of late, and in particular McLaren, who won the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday. Lando Norris connivingly beat Verstappen at the Circuit Zandvoort, overtaking the world champion before building up a lead of 22 seconds at the chequered flag. Verstappen…
Lando Norris recovered from giving up the lead at the start of the Dutch Grand Prix to comfortably beat Max Verstappen to victory in Zandvoort. McLaren’s Norris continued his run of poor starts as he failed to keep the lead on a sixth successive occasion from the front of the Formula 1 grid, but passed Red Bull’s Verstappen at the start of lap 18 before romping home to win by 22 seconds. The result sees Norris, who claimed an extra point for setting the fastest lap, reduce Verstappen’s lead at the top of the Drivers’ Championship to 70 points with…
AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca offered a candid assessment of his team’s performance following their 2-1 loss to Parma at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. The defeat marks a disappointing start to the season for the Rossoneri, who have now failed to secure a win in their opening two matches. Fonseca began his post-match analysis by highlighting the team’s defensive shortcomings: “I think overall, we played very poorly in the defensive phase. It’s impossible to win matches defending like this. We’re not defending as a team, but we’ve made individual mistakes. We lost duels, we were late in pressing, we left…
After reaching the NBA Finals last season and losing to the Celtics, the Mavs will aim to clinch the Championship once and for all, igniting the sparks of a new dynasty. They held a mini-camp in LA this past week, but not everyone could attend. Although Kyrie is still recovering from his injury, the veteran and Klay were among the few players who made it to the preseason practice in Los Angeles. Luka Doncic, however, was absent, as he’s currently overseas with his family. Is this because of the Lakers rumors or what? Given that the Slovenian recently played in…
AC Milan’s performance against Parma certainly upset the fans on Saturday evening and while the defence was the main issue, the attack wasn’t too good either. This was highlighted by Ahmed Bdair during our watchalong for the game. Milan struggled from the first minute and in addition to Parma creating chance after chance, the Rossoneri couldn’t seem to create any of their own. They consistently relied on individual quality and when in possession, there was no pace to the game whatsoever. After the final whistle, during our watchalong on YouTube, Ahmed Bdair discussed the issues under Paulo Fonseca and questioned his tactics…
Following a rather disappointing season opener, drawing 2-2 against Torino, AC Milan were hoping to clinch their first win away at Parma on Saturday evening. However, it ended in disaster for the Rossoneri. Paulo Fonseca made quite a few changes to the starting XI compared to the Torino game with Theo Hernandez, Strahinja Pavlovic, Tijjani Reijnders, Yunus Musah and Noah Okafor playing from the first minute. However, the game couldn’t have started in a worse way for the Rossoneri as Dennis Man scored the opener for Parma within the first two minutes. Furthermore, Milan didn’t really have an answer to the early goal…
