In the 20th round of Serie A, many strong teams stumbled, with Atalanta, Juventus, and AC Milan all only managing draws. Atalanta visited Udinese and could only secure a 0-0 draw. In this match, Atalanta performed very poorly, with only four shots throughout the game. Udinese had 12 shots, eight more than Atalanta. However, Atalanta was lucky as the goalpost twice denied Sanchez's shots. Lukman, De Ketelaere, and Pasalic all played poorly. This match marked the third consecutive game without a win for Atalanta, plunging the team into difficulties. Juventus also managed a draw away from home. Facing Torino, Juventus started perfectly with Ildiz scoring in the 8th minute to take the lead. Afterward, Gonzalez scored, but it was ruled offside, which was unfortunate. Torino equalized before halftime. Fraticci's long-range shot found the net, with the goalkeeper making no reaction. Neither side could score in the second half, resulting in a final score of 1-1! Juventus drew again; having played 19 league matches this season, they have drawn 12 times, with the number of draws equaling the sum of the top four, which is incredible. AC Milan dropped points at home, being held to a draw by relegation-threatened Cagliari. AC Milan took the lead in the 51st minute through Morata's goal, but just four minutes later, Zoratia equalized. Zoratia's shot wasn't particularly threatening, but unexpectedly, Maignan made an error when saving the ball. As a result, AC Milan had to settle for a 1-1 outcome. AC Milan dominated the game with a high possession rate of 68% and 24 shots,…

In the 2025 Italian Super Cup final, AC Milan made a remarkable comeback from a 0:2 deficit to defeat Inter Milan 3:2 and claim the title. The new AC Milan coach, Conceicao, has proven his worth by leading the team to consecutive victories against Juventus and Inter Milan. This demonstrates that the players at AC Milan are of high caliber, and it's clear that Fonseca should have been replaced long ago, perhaps he never should have taken the job at Milan in the first place. It's absurd to bench world-class left-back Theo and former Serie A MVP Leo, known as the "Portuguese Mbappe," with a value of 75 million euros, the highest in the current AC Milan squad. Under Pioli, Leo was an absolute starter for AC Milan. This season, although Fonseca didn't dare to unjustly bench Leo, the Portuguese winger's form has dipped somewhat, and he has also suffered injuries. However, it's certain that Fonseca hasn't utilized Leo effectively. Trailing 0:2, AC Milan staged a stunning comeback with three consecutive goals. Theo, who scored and assisted in equalizing the game, played a pivotal role, and Leo, who came off the bench in the 50th minute, also contributed significantly, providing the assist for Abraham's decisive goal. In Conceicao's view, his young compatriot still has significant room for improvement. "Leo has the potential to become the best player in the world. He possesses all the necessary qualities; he just needs to understand the two or three things he must do on the field, and he can become incredibly strong."

A 73-year-old Italian coach, Claudio Ranieri, led the 11th-ranked Roma team in the Serie A standings into their 19th round match, where they faced off against a 61-year-old Italian coach, Simone Inzaghi, who led the 4th-ranked Lazio team. Before the match, Lazio had won one and drawn one in their last two games across all competitions, while Roma also had one win and one draw in their last two games. The two teams had met recently, with Roma having the upper hand as they defeated Lazio 1-0 in their previous encounter. As a result, more fans were confident that Roma would defeat Lazio at home. In the 10th minute of the first half, the 25-year-old former AC Milan player, Samir Handanovic, made a precise pass, and Pellegrini scored a stunning goal from the middle of the penalty area after a series of feints to help Roma take the lead. Eight minutes later, Handanovic scored again to extend Roma's lead. In the end, Roma successfully defeated Lazio, maintaining their unbeaten streak of three consecutive Serie A matches, while Lazio's unbeaten streak of two matches came to an end. Congratulations to Roma!

Last January, media reports revealed that Rashford went to nightclubs on two consecutive nights before an FA Cup match and then lied about being sick to skip training. As a result, Rashford was not included in the squad for that FA Cup match, and the then-manager Ten Haag stated publicly that "his absence is an internal issue." According to rumors, Rashford was fined 650,000 pounds for this incident, which is equivalent to his salary for two weeks. Now, it seems that Rashford has relapsed into his old ways. Amorim confirmed at the pre-match press conference against Liverpool that Rashford will miss the double red meeting due to illness, which means he will miss six consecutive games. According to TA, Amorim is very dissatisfied with Rashford's private life, so he had no choice but to bench him, and Manchester United is currently pushing hard for his departure. Manchester United originally hoped to sell Rashford directly for 40 million pounds, but such a high price, coupled with his weekly salary of over 320,000 pounds, has deterred European teams from making offers. Although there are Saudi league teams willing to take him on, Rashford does not want to go to Saudi Arabia early to "retire." There are also reports that Rashford hopes to join Barcelona, but Barcelona's current situation is not suitable for introducing him. Given such a tricky situation, Manchester United has lowered its expectations and is considering sending Rashford away on loan, and some teams have already expressed interest. According to Italian journalist Di Marzio, Serie A giants AC Milan have…

Inter Milan has been in excellent form recently, securing a decisive 2-0 victory over Atalanta and achieving a five-game winning streak across various competitions. During these five matches, Inter Milan has been impressive both offensively and defensively, scoring a total of 15 goals without conceding any. As the defending champions of the Italian Super Cup, Inter Milan has won the trophy three times consecutively and is eager to claim the championship once again, demonstrating a strong desire to win. However, no team in the history of the Italian Super Cup has ever won four consecutive titles, which seems like a curse looming over Inter Milan. Additionally, Inter Milan's league record this season stands at 12 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss, with their only defeat coming at the hands of AC Milan. Furthermore, their top scorer, Thuram, suffered an injury during the match against Atalanta, leaving his participation in the upcoming game uncertain; captain Lautaro has been in poor form, scoring only one goal in the last ten games; and on the defensive line, key defenders Pavard and Acerbi are out due to injuries. AC Milan experienced a period of underwhelming performance this season but turned things around after drawing with Roma, with Conceicao taking over as head coach. In his first game in charge, the team showed great resilience by coming from behind to defeat Juventus and secure a spot in the Italian Super Cup final. AC Milan has since gone unbeaten in their last five games, with three wins and two draws, steadily improving their form. As a…

Inter Milan is the only team in Italy that has never been relegated from the top league, with a rich history and heritage. They have won 20 league titles, 9 Coppa Italia titles, 7 Italian Super Cups, as well as 3 UEFA Champions League titles and 3 UEFA Europa League titles. In their last home game in the Italian Super Cup, they easily defeated Atalanta 2-0 and have now achieved five consecutive victories in official matches. Although they have one fewer match played, they are level on points with the top of the league and are currently ranked third. AC Milan is an extremely popular team in Italy, nicknamed the "Rossoneri." They have won the Serie A title 19 times and the UEFA Champions League 7 times, with their achievements in the Champions League second only to Real Madrid. However, this season their overall performance has not been good. In their last Italian Super Cup match, they narrowly defeated Juventus 1-2 away from home, and in their last five official matches, they have a record of three wins and two draws, ranking eighth in the league. It should be noted that their offensive capabilities have significantly declined, scoring only seven goals in their last six official matches, averaging just 1.17 goals per game. Overall, both teams are top-tier giants in Serie A. Inter Milan has excellent attacking and defensive capabilities, with an aggressive playing style and a strong ability to remain unbeaten. Their home and away performance is outstanding. In their last seven encounters with AC Milan, they have achieved…

AC Milan has seen a significant drop in performance since the start of this season, falling from being a top contender in the league to potentially missing out on Champions League qualification. The club has made a decisive managerial change, but they still need to address an important issue: finding a suitable central midfielder to enhance their squad and push for a top-four finish in the second half of the season. In a stroke of genius, Milan is pursuing a move for Barcelona's summer transfer window star, Olmo. With Olmo unable to secure registration due to La Liga's refusal to provide any concessions to Barcelona, he will likely seek a new club to continue his career. Milan is willing to sign him for free and let him play for half a season before returning him to Barcelona at the end of the season for a nominal transfer fee. This move not only allows Milan to acquire a top-tier midfielder in his prime to bolster their Champions League push but also provides the opportunity to make a profit by selling him back to Barcelona later. World Sports Daily's deputy editor, Cristina Cubero, confirmed this news, stating that Milan has approached Barcelona with their plan for Olmo. The likelihood of this operation happening is increasing, and Barcelona is waiting for the player's final decision. However, such a deal with Milan could help Barcelona minimize their losses.

For AC Milan, the appointment of new coach Conceicao has provided the team with a chance for a fresh start. Looking at the league standings, with just over half the season gone, the Rossoneri are 8 points away from the top four, which is not an insurmountable gap. At the same time, according to Italian media reports, during this transfer window, RedBird Capital Partners will also adjust the team lineup, with several major transfers already in the works. Conceicao is expected to have a more competitive squad in the second half of the season to help him challenge his expected goals. In midfield, Reinders' performance this season has been almost impeccable. On the defensive end, the Dutch midfielder's excellent running ability provides ample defensive coverage, becoming the most important barrier in front of the backline, with his average number of interceptions and clearances ranking among the best in the team. Compared to his steady defensive performance, what delights fans even more is that Reinders has undergone a "transformation" in attack this season. To date, he has scored 9 goals and provided 2 assists, making him one of the most attacking midfielders in Serie A. In addition, Reinders can contribute an average of 1.2 successful dribbles and 1.1 key passes per game, playing a crucial role in the team's offensive system. Besides Reinders, the performances of Youssouf Fofana and Musa are also commendable, and they will all be important choices for Conceicao in the second half of the season. In contrast, Bennacer, who has recently returned from a long-term injury, appears…
