Milan-Atalanta, Stefano Pioli and Gian Piero Gasperini united against the referee

Here are the statements of the two coaches of Milan and Atalanta Stefano Pioli and Gian Pieo Gasperini, both very critical against the refereeing of Di Bello at the end of the Coppa Italia challenge won 2-1 by Dea in a comeback.

Stefano Pioli: “We played a very good first half, deservedly going ahead, but we committed a big ingenuità on the equalizer. In the second half we struggled more, but the game è changed on a penalty that wasn’t there. And we went into confusion. On Holm&#39s hands, on the other hand, it seems strange to me that the referee was not called back by the Var to go and see it. I repeat, the first one however was not there, the Atalanta player jumps before the contact. In short, a bad night, although it must be said that we could have reacted better, with more lucidness. There was plenty of time to make up for it becauseé è it was a difficult but balanced”.

Gian Piero Gasperini: “Di Bello è a great rude man because é before the game he didn’t even greet me. He doesn’t è have to, but è a rude man. We have a history with him and with Valeri who was at Var, Atalanta with the two of them has a huge case history. But I at the end of every game I reset and erase everything. I will never say that Atalanta doesn&#39t want a referee, for us all are welcome”.

“The Var è an extraordinary means if used well. The problem è that it’s becoming a war where you can’t really tell if the referee is refereeing who is on the field or the varist. This è a big problem becauseé there’è a disparityà of interventions, there’è no certainty”.

“The Scudetto or the European Cups are not goals within the reach of Atalanta. In the Coppa Italia we went to the final twice and if you jam the matches together you can go to the final and play for it. We will try again to win a trophy. Are the fans waiting for us in Zingonia? I am happy about that because ité s been a few years since it happened. Winning in Milan è reason for great prestige. In three days we have played in two fantastic stadiums with so many fans and for us è it is a pride to put these great companiesà”; in trouble.

“Atalanta has è transformed from my early years? È a different team, of that team è only De Roon left as a starter, the others are on the bench. We have other characteristics, we have many young people. Of course è we have a core of midfield and defense that è very solid and we know how to stay on the field and deal with all forms. That is also why we have a lot of room for improvement”.

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”.
