Conference League, Fiorentina, Raffaele Palladino satisfied

These are the words of Fiorentina’s coach Raffaele Palladino after the 4-2 external success in the Conference against the Swiss of St. Gallen.

“I am happy with the team’s reaction. I am fortunate to have a great staff. We have very good analysts and at the end of the first half we have 15 minutes to adjust the team. In the first 5 we analyze, in the second 5 we show the team what to change. And then è credit to the guys, if they do what we tell them at halftime happens what è happened today. But beyond that, I am really happy with the team. Now we have to continue to be humble and beat on this road”.

Against St. Gallen Palladino also gave space to those players who have played less in the league so far: “The boys were good at staying in the game from the beginning to the end. Even in the first half we had interpreted it well. They came with a strong pressure, there was less fluidity of play – said the coach at the end of the game – But we found the lines of passage, then in the resumption good all to react soì. I want to congratulate those who have been playing less lately. Today great race of Biraghi, Quarta, a great Kayode. Richardson will becomeà a great player. A satisfaction for these guys”.

Now thoughts turn immediately to the championship, when Fiorentina will challenge Roma on Sunday at the Franchi. Among the Viola there should also be Kean, who is recovering from the ankle problem suffered during the match against Lecce last Sunday: “I have a great medical staff. I hope sì, it è s not easy because é he took a good hit in Lecce. We will try, but if he doesn’t make it we have good alternatives who did well tonight. I am calm”.

After much criticism for Ikone a starring evening with his performance and two goals: “I am happy, I did well and the team won. Against an opponent who played very well – said Fiorentina’s external player -. The match? We also know when we make mistakes. We gave away a goal and in the second half we wanted to do everything right. We came in with more strength to do better and win this game. I work to score and make more assists. Today I scored twice and I have to do that again; I have to be even stronger and take the team even higher”.

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”.
