Carlo Ancelotti praises Gian Piero Gasperini and his Atalanta

Carlo Ancelotti spoke on the eve of Atalanta-Real Madrid in a press conference: “Atalanta are playing their best, they have improved a lot since the Super Cup challenge. Vinicius starting? He is fine, we have to evaluate him, today&#39s training will be important. Bellingham has recovered, the only two doubts are Rodrygo and Vinicius”.

He then praised Gian Piero Gasperini: “We are very good friends, we met at Juventus, he is doing a great job in this team. Every year there are so many changes in the squad, but he knows how to take advantage of all the resources he has. The work he is doing è spectacular”.

“Atalanta has done a great job, they compete in the Italian league and in Europe, they have done an extraordinary job. Atalanta remains at a high level, this says a lot about the structure of the club and the quality of the coach”.

“These are three points and they are very important for qualification. We have three more games, it will be difficult to place in the top eight teams, we will probably make a playoff round, but it is only three points. For me è it is always special to play in Italy, I am 100 percent Italian” concluded Ancelotti.

Leonardo Bonucci no-holds-barred on Allegri and Szczesny

Leonardo Bonucci unabashedly on Allegri and Szczesny

Leonardo Bonucci gave an interview to Prime Video in which he è returned to the quarrel with Massimiliano Allegri during a Juventus-Palermo match in February 2017 that cost him   then exclusion from the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Porto.

“Marchisio comes back from the ACL and at 60′ he was dead, I make him: ‘Claudio get changed’. He didn&#39t want to, I make a sign to Allegri: ‘Change the’8 because he’s dead’ – explained the former Bianconeri defender -. After 5 minutes he changes Sturaro with Rincon and I make gestures to him and he sent me to f*** off. ‘Think about being a player’ he told me, ‘you&#39re an asshole’ something like that”.

“At the end of the game I came back, found Landucci (Allegri’s deputy, ed.) trying to stop me: I slammed him against the door and ran into the locker room. We attacked each other until they split us up. Then I went to him and said, ‘you didn’t understand what I meant to say’. He è heated up again with the poison he had and they brought me back out and itè è ended”.

“He wanted me off the roster, then there’s been mediation by the management,” continued the former Juventus captain.

I skipped Porto and then started playing again, but theì by then something was broken. In an attempt to mediate, they tell me that I am important and the coach è expiring, but before the Cardiff final they renew Allegri’s contract. Which for charity; it was also fair. We go to the final and after the game it comes out, not true, that ‘I messed up in the locker room in Cardiff’. So I call the director (Marotta, ed.) and tell him, ‘I am an asset of the company’? Don’t you think it’s appropriate to deny it since nothing è happened? ‘. And he tells me, ‘We don&#39t have to say anything'”.

Bonucci a few weeks later moved to AC Milan: “It was the end of June, the prosecutor calls me and tells me that there’è this possibility. Juve and I talk, we say that the roads have to separate and Milan pops up. I lived so badly what had been done to me that I thought only of my own good. The year before, the club told me, ‘We won&#39t even sell you for 100 million’. Then they sold me to Milan for 42 million, and De Sciglio was also in it. Not è that they wanted to keep me at all costs…”

Finally, he also has some for Szczesny, who recently confessed in an interview that he didn&#39t listen to Bonucci&#39s speeches before the game: “I was hurt, I was speaking for the good of the team. Then, when I was talking he was not there, he was locked in the bathroom I won&#39t say doing what, but he talked about it too. He was at a time when he had left soccer, then è returned: maybe he was confused. I was very surprised by the bullshit he said”.

Sofia Goggia, injury behind: ‘It’s like nothing happened’

Sofia Goggia prepares for comeback

Sofia Goggia spoke to the press via a link from Denver, just days before her return to the slopes over the weekend in Beaver Creek. “Definitely for me è it was the longest American trip of my whole career,” she began, “but obviously having removed the means of synthesis on September 7, I had to wait 40-45 days to be able to then ski in Europe. I did a few days just to understand a little bit about the adaptation to the boot that fortunately did not need any modification, so then I did three days in Senals and three days in Solden and then we decided to fly directly here”.

“Incidentally, this program è was the same as Nicol Delago’s,” added the Bergamasque, “who also, having broken her collarbone in Ushuaia, needed to ski a little more, and I think it was the right choice. Becauseé the secret in my opinion è being able to make a very good trip to Copper Mountain, which last year we didn t do instead because of the races that had put us in mid-November in Cervinia”.

“Copper è a crucial gathering especially for speed becauseé è the only training where you can really do a minute and thirty of downhill in the whole year. The work you do here and also just on set-up è  qualitatively higher. I honestly am fine, the foot è something I don&#39t think about, clearly I arrived a little rusty. The first few days I skied only in the upper part, so we were also doing 10 laps very intense because there is a really important pushing part and the altitude is as well, training at 3500-3600 meters which for is a different altitude than in Europe because there are still trees being very continental Colorado”.

“When the speed track” was ready, I” finally started to have some good sessions in both SuperG” and downhill and let” let” let” say that the confidence with speed” remained. Maybe I m’expected to have a little bit more qualms, a little bit more fear to face certain turns at high speed, maybe even in the dark. And instead I came naturally to face the training sessions, as if ‘nothing had happened’ but this also came from the fact that my foot is really well and it didn t give me any problem at all”.
