Paulo Fonseca will take charge of his second game as AC Milan head coach tonight against Parma, and in order to get off to a good start he needs the best version of Rafael Leao. As Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) report this morning, during the press conference Fonseca did at Milanello ahead of the game against Parma this evening he was asked about the role that Leao will have in his side and the level that he can reach. “Leao can combine the two. In certain moments, especially when the ball is on the right, he has to get closer…
Amessage about LeBron James on X (Twiter) went viral on social networks in the United States. And that had almost nothing to do with the strictly sporting facet of ‘King’ James, a reef both for the millions of followers he has and for the also numerous ‘haters’ who do not miss an opportunity to criticize him when something, no matter how small, goes wrong. In this case it was a joke that went viral when a tweeter posted a message that read: “It has been discovered that LeBron James is sleeping with the mother of his new teammate”. The statement…
AC Milan could yet make one more signing to complete the midfield department, a report claims, but everything revolves around Ismael Bennacer’s fate. Calciomercato.com report that a large part of the end of Milan’s summer mercato depends on what the developments will be regarding Bennacer, which translated means whether he stays or is sold before the deadline. The Algerian knows that it will be difficult to get a starting spot this season more so than any other season with the arrival of Youssouf Fofana and the growth of both Tijjani Reijnders and Yunus Musah, so he is reflecting on the possibility…
A new head coach means a clean slate for all players, but unfortunately for some it also means that their spot in the squad is at risk and Paulo Fonseca has made it known that several current AC Milan squad members are not in his plans. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the main factors at play are the Champions League and Serie A squad lists – with exits needed to make room for new signings, or players risk being left out – and how adaptable current players are to Fonseca’s way of playing. Rarely during a summer at Milanello has…
AC Milan will play their first away game of the 2024-25 Serie A season on Saturday night as they take on Parma at the Stadio Tardini, also looking for Paulo Fonseca’s first win as head coach. After the disappointing but dramatic 2-2 draw against Torino to begin the season a week ago, reports suggest Fonseca will make a number of changes to the side. Just like in round one, the outcome of the game against newly-promoted Parma will largely depend on winning some key duels. Perhaps the most important re-entry into the XI for Milan will be Theo Hernández, who loves…
Matt Bowman is no stranger to being the new guy in a clubhouse trying to find his way. His MLB.com transaction log — which details every career move dating to signing with the New York Mets on June 15, 2012 — is 95 entries long. “I’m sneaky old,” the 33-year-old pitcher said. The Orioles are his fourth big league team this season, and he debuted at Camden Yards on Thursday night with a scoreless 1 1/3 innings of relief in a 6-0 loss to the Houston Astros. Over the past five months, he’s pitched out of the bullpen for Minnesota,…
AC Milan will make a change up front for today’s game against Parma with Paulo Fonseca confirming that Noah Okafor will start, while the management could yet give him another striker to work with. This morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) recall the words of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Youssouf Fofana’s press conference in which the Senior Advisor was quite clear about the third striker issue, saying that Milan are banking a lot on young talents. It was a clear reference to Francesco Camarda, but he is the starter for Milan Futuro and is likely to play virtually all of his minutes…
Alvaro Morata cannot be a leader for his AC Milan team on the field tonight, but he gave a clear sign that he wants to be one even when he cannot contribute with goals. It was a late show for Milan against Torino as substitutes Morata and Noah Okafor each scored in the closing stages. The changes really made an impact, especially given the likes of Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders were also missing from the starting XI. The bad news though is that Morata battled through muscle discomfort in order to play in the opener, and while he scored…
Borussia Monchengladbach began their 2024-25 Bundesliga season with a 3-2 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, and Manu Kone played no part in the game. As Calciomercato.com recall, Kone was presented with a gift on the field by the club after France reached the final of the men’s football at the Olympics, but he was not among the Mönchengladbach players who faced Xabi Alonso’s champions. Not only did he not appear in the starting line-up, he was not even on the bench and it is a clue that was confirmed in the official statement with which the club announced through a…
Despite the arrival of Youssouf Fofana, Milan’s midfield is still not fully defined. The triple departure in midfield, with Ismael Bennacer and Yacine Adli now out of Fonseca’s plans and Pobega practically a new player for Bologna, opens the door to a new investment, which will likely not be Manu Koné. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Ajax’s Silvano Vos, the 19-year-old midfielder, could prove useful not only to the first team but also, and especially, to Milan Futuro under Daniele Bonera. The initial request from the Dutch club was 10 million euros, but Milan stopped at 6 million euros, as they try…
