Milan, Pioli and Giroud laugh it off. Genoa furious
Milan, Pioli and Giroud laugh it off. Genoa furious
After the convulsive finale that gave Milan a 1-0 victory at Luigi Ferraris with Genoa and the lone first place in the league, here are the statements of Genoa president Alberto Zangrillo, literally furious, of the Rossoneri striker Olivier Giroud, decisive in goal where he replaced Maignan who was sent off, and of coach Stefano Pioli.
“I am here to invoke respect for the 35,000 who were present at the stadium. It is ruining soccer – è exploded Zangrillo -. When there is no reasonable certainty we always succumb. It has è been that way for a long time now. They explained to me that when there’s no certainty è sovereign is the referee's first decision, so I bow out. But who knows; how come we are always in this situation. Maignan’s exit? As a doctor I call it murderous, but whatever. It’s okay. The world of soccer è always more and more unfair: the same people always rule it. Let's see how many days they give Maignan. When there’è David against Goliath, Goliath always wins in this world…. Stop being hypocrites, we all know that. What we saw tonight è clear”.
“As a child I liked to go to the goal, that’s why I went. I experienced a’special emotion when I made the save, almost like a goal. Yes, I made a great save – Giroud laughed – I thought I had to go on the ball, I took courage and went on the ball. First I was lucky on the crossbar. We fought like lions, I am very proud of this team. We never give up, three weeks ago we got a slap in the face, but we raised the level again and today we are first”.
“Never happened like thatì. Giroud in goal a surprise, wanted to go Pulisic but è too small, better Oly…. Strange things happened, in this period we played a lot and won 7 games out of 8. We can still do some things better, optimize certain situations,” Pioli said. We è lacked technical cleanliness. For the ranking è soon, there will be four teams fighting for the Scudetto. Everything we thought could go better in the derby è went wrong. We were good and lucky not to stay there è we moved on. Now we take the break to rest and regain energy, then we will have a very tough week. È clearly we are pleased to be in front. We have more players who can solve games than in the past, in the view of becoming a great team è it is normal that it is soì”.

US Open, Alexander Zverev also out: Jannik Sinner thanks.
All-U.S. semifinal at US Open
Another big man exits the tournament. After the various Alcaraz and Djokovic, Zverev è is also no longer in the running at the US Open. The German è was beaten by Fritz in four sets (7-6 (2) 3-6 6-4 7-6), at the end of a match that è lasted almost three and a half hours. A defeat that leaves a lot of bitterness in Zverev’s mouth. The German was aiming to reach at least the final.
A feat for the American who, dragged by the home crowd, won the first semifinal of a Slam event. After winning the first set on tie-break, Fritz suffered the return of Zverev, who took home the second partial with a peremptory 6-3. The momentum seemed to be in the German’s hands but Fritz escaped on 3-0. Zverev recovers but gives up at the più beautiful. Spectacular fourth set. Zverev tries everything but, once again, the tie-break costs him dearly. He loses it 7-3 and says goodbye to the tournament.
Dreams big for Fritz who, in the semifinals, will face the other American Tiafoe who, in the quarterfinals, wins the match with Dimitrov, forced to retire in the fourth set due to a physical problem: 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, 4-1 the partials in favor of Tiafoe.
The United States dreams, after 21 years (Roddick, 2003), of an American winning the U.S. Open. In the meantime, it enjoys Sinner who, thanks to Zverev è’s knockout; increasingly serene in his comfortable position as world No. 1.
