Carlos Sainz, farewell message to Charles Leclerc
The words of Carlos Sainz
Carlos Sainz on Instagram definitively wrote the end of his experience in Ferrari with a post in which he said goodbye to Charles Leclerc, first internal rival with whom è it was not always all roses and flowers, as it è was also seen in the last Grand Prix as teammates.
“It’s been an incredible four years of fighting together for Ferrari – wrote Sainz, tagging Leclerc in a series of photos in which the two are pictured together – thank you for all the great moments we’ve shared along the way. I wish you only the best in the coming year and beyond”.
At the beginning of the year Jürgen Klopp will assume the position of “Head of Global Soccer” at Red Bull. A prestigious job, but apparently his landing in the Austrian company has also sparked interest in the division dedicated to Formula 1.
Helmut Marko, in an’interview with RTL/ntv and sport.de, commented: “I don’t know how he’ll manage everything, between continents and other aspects. But, since soccer è is fundamental to us, I think it was the best move we could make”. The Red Bull super-consultant, then, però, è went much further: he even added that “he would love” to see him collaborate with Formula 1. “È an extraordinary coach and also a motivator” indeed, he was keen to emphasize.

The words of Claudio Ranieri
Claudio Ranieri spoke to the Arabic sports platform Koora Break: “The whole world thinks they know football but it is one thing è to stand in front of the television and criticize, another è to be a coach. When you are the ì, it è a whole other job. I have traveled a lot for work, my culture è solid but I love to take something from every other city, from other cultures, I have a desire to test and experiment, I do not have a closed mind, I still want to learn a lot”.
“My team at the moment is notè in a great situation: first of all for me the’importantè to recreate the right atmosphere with the fans. I am the fourth coach this season, in these first months there have been so many situations and different systems of play: come to this point, the important thing is to work, understand and improve. When a coach arrives this season, he has to manage, and every situation can become a big challenge. As soon as I arrived,” Ranieri continued, “I asked the team for a hand, I told them: help me, because I am on my own and I have to understand 26 people”.
“We can also lose but I want to see my team fight until the end. This year I want to achieve something good and do everything for the property, the players and the fans. Right now we are not in a good position, but there are still many games to go and getting to Europe at the end would make me happy. Dan Friedkin told me: ‘Claudio, this year you are the’coach but next year you will be the’man who can’explain everything and watch everything’. I am happy right now”, he added about his future.
Filling in on soccer in Arabia: “There’s a lot of good players have arrived in Arabia, now it’s important to understand how the mentality’s going to change and how it’s going to develop in the future. Cristiano Ronaldo has done good publicity; then some very good players and very good coaches have also arrived. Now the important thing is to keep improving. Abdulhamid? I believe in him, he is doing well: Rome è a good place for young Arab players”.

Nadia Battocletti in triumph
È always a party for Nadia Battocletti, even on the’last day of the’year. The Italian star triumphs for the second time in a row at BOclassic Alto Adige, the traditional New Year’s Eve race on the streets of Bolzano now in its 50th edition, with another show of class. Toast again to the queen of middle distance running, cheered by the crowd in the city center, and ending her magnificent 2024 in the best possible way. If from the victory twelve months ago she had taken the momentum for a formidable season, now è a confirmation after the joys of the Olympic silver in the 10,000 and the’exhilarating series of European titles between track and cross.
Open applause for the Trentino-born member of the Fiamme Azzurre who runs with confidence, in the lead from the start pulling the group, before changing pace in a sprint with a time of 15:31 in the 5 kilometers, detaching Ethiopian Aleshign Baweke, the under-20 rainbow in the 3,000 meters, behind her in 15:35. More distant is Turkey’s Yasemin Can, bronze medalist at the recent European XC Championships dominated by ‘StraordiNadia’, third with 16:05 tailed by Federica Del Buono (Carabinieri) who takes fourth place in 16:07 ahead of Micol Majori (Pro Sesto Atl. Cernusco, 16:11), Elisa Palmero (Esercito, 16:12) and Valentina Gemetto (Dk Runners Milano, 16:18).
Among men, Yeman Crippa placed second for the third consecutive year. The’azzurro tries, fights to the finish line and closes in 28:01 in the 10 kilometers behind the’Ethiopian Telahun Haile Bekele, author of the race record in 27:59 improving the 28:00 set twelve months ago by Kenyan Sabastian Sawe.
È pugnacious the Gold Flames bearer, in the wake of the enthusiasm for the continental cross-country silver medal, and goes into the lead after five of the eight laps. Then Bekele’s decisive attack in the penultimate lap, with the European half-marathon champion also losing a few meters to Kenyan Charles Rotich. But the man from Trentino reacted in the final, regained second place, got closer and made up ground although not enough to win. On the third step of the podium Rotich in 28:08, fourth the South African Maxime Chaumeton (28:27) to precede the Ugandan Oscar Chelimo (Atl. Casone Noceto, 28:43). In the top ten was European half marathon silver medalist Pietro Riva (Fiamme Oro), eighth with 28:51, and Italian champion Francesco Guerra (Carabinieri), tenth in 29:13.
