ATP Auckland: Cobolli withdraws in derby with Nardi, Sonego advances with chill

Luca Nardi and Lorenzo Sonego fly to the round of 16 of the Auckland ATP 250. The Marche player benefits from the withdrawal of Flavio Cobolli at the score of 6-2 1-1 after only 45 minutes, while the Piedmontese wins the marathon match with Gabriel Diallo at the tie-break of the third set (7-6 2-6 7-6) after nearly three hours of play.

Lasting only just over a set, the all-blue derby between Nardi and Cobolli. After a clear 6-2 in favor of the former, in fact, the Roman raised the white flag at the beginning of the second set due to a right thigh problem, probably preferring the precautionary route a few days before the start of the Australian Open.

Victory with a chill for Sonego. After winning the first set in a tie-break 7 points to 5, the Turinese clearly surrendered the second set (2-6). In the third and decisive set Sonego bounced back from 2-5 down, even annulling a match point to the Canadian in the final tie-break, won by 8 points to 6.

In the round of 16, Nardi will challenge Belgian qualifier Zizou Bergs, number 66 in the ATP rankings, while Sonego will face U.S. Alex Michelsen, the eighth seed and world number 41.

Inter also treats itself to U23: stadium and coach wanted

Published

on

For the bench, the favorite would be Chivu

Inter has decided to follow the example of Juventus (first club to believe in it), Milan and Atalanta. The Nerazzurri’s U23 is coming, so as to create a “personal” pool from which to draw the champions of the future. Juventus has shown that the U23 can bring important benefits to the first team.

Oaktree, Inter’s American owner, has been on the U23 project for some time, which, now, will come into focus. The first two issues to be addressed, even before figuring out what roster there will be available (lots of youngsters on loan around Italy under contract with Inter), concern the stadium where the matches will be played and the coach to whom the team will be entrusted.

As for the stadium, there would be two options on the table. The Nerazzurri U23 could train and play at the Breda Stadium in Sesto San Giovanni or, alternatively, matches could be played at the U-Power Stadium in Monza. At the moment these would be the two most real hypotheses, although other options are not ruled out.

As for the technical guide, in pole position would be Chivu. Legend of the Nerazzurri club, the former defender è well known in the Nerazzurri environment, as he è been several years on the bench of the Primavera team. Marotta, who has always been a supporter of the so-called “B” teams, would be pushing hard for the Nerazzurri Under 23 to become a reality as soon as possible.

Atalanta, Real Madrid on the trail of one of Gasperini’s jewels

Brazilian targeted by Madrid club for summer

Atalanta è is now known throughout Europe, as are its aces. Several top clubs are taking an interest in Gasperini’s jewels. According to AS, Real Madrid has reportedly initiated the first informal contacts with the Bergamo-based club to find out more about midfielder Ederson, listed as one of the Blanco club’s targets for next summer.

Ederson è was a big player in Atalanta’s recent visit to the Bernabeu. Gasperini has made him his star midfielder. In the middle of the field he can do everything and does it excellently well. Moreover, è he is also dangerous in the goal area. In short, an ideal profile for Real Madrid, which, in fact, would be strongly interested in the Brazilian.

AS recalls how, last summer, Atletico Madrid tried to steal Ederson from Atalanta but, even in front of a super offer (55 million), La Dea declined, given the sure sale of Koopmeiners to Juventus.

This summer, it could be the 25-year-old Ederson himself who could be the star player coming out of Atalanta. Real Madrid also knows that there are other clubs interested in the former Salernitana such as Manchester City, Manchester United and, for a change, Atletico Madrid. It will need a major proposal to convince La Dea to let Ederson, one of its brightest jewels, leave.
