Rafael Leao ended up in the spotlight after AC Milan’s 2-1 defeat to Parma last night, caught on camera shushing a Rossoneri fan in the stands. On his Instagram, the Portuguese winger explained why he made the gesture. Leao didn’t have the best of games despite bagging a nice assist, failing to track back and giving the ball away just before the winning goal. After the game, he couldn’t contain his emotions and made a shushing gesture towards Milan fans in the stands. Many feared that this was directed at the Curva Sud, the Milan ultras, but Leao explained in an Instagram…
Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze was reduced to cameo as AC Milan suffered a first defeat of the season in the Serie A at Parma. Parma defeated the former champions 2-1 in a keenly contested clash, with Chukwueze playing for just four minutes in the away trip on Saturday evening. After the Super Eagles star failed to impress in the season opener where he featured for an hour from the star, he was relegated to the bench for their first away game of the season. Therefore, for 86 minutes he watched as Parma put on a show, especially in the first half where…
It was a disappointing evening for AC Milan at Stadio Ennio Tardini last night as Parma prevailed by two goals to one. Given the performance of the Rossoneri, criticised by Fabio Capello, the home side certainly deserved to win. Parma opened the scoring after just two minutes on the clock and from there, they took clear control of the game and dominated Milan during large parts of it. Paulo Fonseca’s side never recovered despite the equaliser and now find themselves in a very dire situation. Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, Fabio Cepllo shared his thoughts on the poor performance…
AC Milan suffered an embarrassing defeat to Parma on Saturday evening as they never managed to match the performance of the home side. With just one point after two games, the situation is heating up for Paulo Fonseca. Today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below) has taken stock of Milan’s precarious position and what went wrong against Parma. The Rossoneri never stood a chance, as was clear to anyone watching, and the start to the season has been a disaster. Parma, as opposed to Milan, looked very good and managed to dominate the affair thanks to their organisation.…
Two years before Zach Frazier joined the Pittsburgh Steelers, assistant general manager Andy Weidl watched the center mow down defensive linemen at Acrisure Stadium. Frazier’s West Virginia squad was playing Pitt in 2022 when he caught the eye of Steelers scouts in attendance. “I remember at halftime, [director of college scouting] Dan Colbert coming up to me, and he’s like, ‘Do you see that center from West Virginia dumping guys on the ground?’ I said, ‘Yeah!’ We both saw it, and he was on our radar then.” Frazier remained on the Steelers’ radar, and two years later, Weidl and the team’s front office…
AC Milan continued their winless start to the season as they were beaten 2-1 by Parma at the Stadio Ennio Tardini on Saturday night. The home side took the lead within two minutes as Dennis Man was on hand to tap home a teasing cross by Emanuele Valeri, but Milan thought that they were back in business when Christian Pulisic equalised from close range. The Rossoneri were pushing for a winning goal but got caught at the other end when Pontus Almqvist squared for Matteo Cancellieri who put the hosts 2-1 up, and that would be enough to earn them…
Inter Milan got their Serie A title defence up and running on Saturday with a straightforward 2-0 home win over Lecce, while rivals AC Milan crashed to a 2-1 defeat at promoted Parma. Matteo Darmian nodded Inter ahead in the fifth minute before Hakan Calhanoglu made sure that the majority of the around 70,000 fans at the San Siro went home happy with his 70th-minute penalty. Simone Inzaghi’s team are level with three other teams on four points, including Parma and Genoa who were 1-0 winners at Monza, after their first two matches of the new campaign. “Winning is hard…
AC Milan midfielder Yunus Musah believes that the team looked ‘dangerous’ against Parma but it was undone by the bad work on the defensive end. Milan were hoping to right the wrongs from Saturday night’s draw against Torino at San Siro, but instead they ended up conceding twice again and both times they were left wide open in transition. Paulo Fonseca’s side found themselves behind inside two minutes as Valeri outpaced Davide Calabria and provided a perfect low ball across the box to Dennis Man, and the Romanian applied a powerful finish having beaten Theo to the ball. Parma re-took…
Even though he is set for an $18 million payday in 2024, Dallas Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb wants more — and that is proving to be a big problem for owner Jerry Jones, who is in charge of all the team’s personnel matters. The wideout market is as competitive — and as expensive — as ever before, and Lamb wants in after posting career-best numbers in 2023. The Cowboys’ reticence in negotiations has convinced Lamb that holding out and staying away from the team is his best option, but the 2024 NFL season begins in two weeks’ time and Lamb…
The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly already have a contingency plan in place for the eventual retirement of LeBron James, and it’s a major swing for the fences. “I’ve reported on this podcast and on The Ringer how they have their sights set for Luka [Dončić] in the future,” The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor said Friday during The Mismatch (0:50 mark). “We’ll see if that works out. Dallas just made a Finals, Dallas is looking better than ever with their supporting cast. That may not work out, but the Lakers by not trading their future picks clearly are still thinking long-term at…
