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&#39s 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&#39s 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”.

The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up

This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.

The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.

Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia

So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.

Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).

Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.

As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry. Nice success, finally, of the LA Clippers against Orlando (104-93).

Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren

The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.

“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.

The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.

Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
