The Italian Super Cup semi-finals saw a match between Juventus and AC Milan. Juventus has had a peculiar record this season in the league, with 11 draws out of 18 matches, winning the other 7 to remain undefeated, but their ranking is somewhat low at 6th place. In the Champions League, Juventus achieved a moderate record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. This time, on the Italian Super Cup stage, Juventus faced a strong AC Milan. The two teams have drawn in their last two encounters. However, this time, Juventus fell and was eliminated after a dramatic comeback! Juventus lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game. Vlahovic led the attack. The attacking trio of Ildiz, Kupmenas, and Mbangula worked together. Locatelli and Thuram formed the double pivot in midfield. Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, and McKennie started as the four defenders. Di Gregorio was the starting goalkeeper. Weah, Gonzalez, Conceicao, and Cambiasso were on standby on the bench. Juventus started off relatively smoothly, with Ildiz scoring in the 20th minute. The 19-year-old Ildiz is the second youngest goalscorer in the Italian Super Cup, only behind Balotelli. Vlahovic had a chance to extend the lead, but his close-range shot went wide, wasting Ildiz's fine pass. Trailing in score, Milan fought back fiercely, and Lady Luck also smiled upon them. Pulisic equalized from the penalty spot, and Musa's cross led to Gatti's own goal. Milan scored twice in four minutes to complete the comeback. The final score was set at 1-2, and Juventus was eliminated. It's truly bizarre that Juventus…

Congratulations to AC Milan! They have managed to secure a deal for Manchester United's star player, Marcus Rashford, at half price. This move comes with a significant reduction in salary, as Rashford is currently at the peak of his career and is aiming to compete for the Serie A Golden Boot. Rashford, who has been a key player for Manchester United in recent years, has consistently demonstrated impressive skills on the field. The club had previously offered him a top-tier salary during contract renewal negotiations. However, it seems that Rashford has now fallen out with new manager Amorim, leading to his marginalization within the team. Recent league matches have seen Rashford absent from the lineup, indicating his diminished role under the current management. Reports from Manchester United suggest that Rashford believes he will not receive playing opportunities under Amorin, a sentiment he openly discussed in a television program regarding his future prospects. In light of this situation, AC Milan has expressed interest in acquiring Rashford during the winter transfer window. The Italian club is willing to take him on loan with an option to buy, which aligns with Manchester United's desire to swiftly resolve the Rashford issue. The English club is even prepared to make a substantial concession by covering part of Rashford's salary, making the offer particularly attractive to Milan. Rashford's abilities are unquestionable, as evidenced by his 31-goal season prior to his contract renewal. If he can maintain his form at Milan, he has the potential to challenge for the Serie A Golden Boot. At the height of…

AC Milan, a Serie A powerhouse, recently announced a coaching change, bringing in Conceicao to take the reins. The 50-year-old Portuguese football legend is full of grand plans, aiming to sign Liverpool forward Nunez on a loan-to-buy deal to bolster the team's attacking prowess and secure a top-four finish in the Serie A to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Currently, AC Milan sits in 8th place in Serie A, trailing Lazio in 4th by a significant margin of 8 points. They must make a strong comeback to avoid missing out on next season's Champions League. Conceicao believes that the primary task is to enhance the team's goal-scoring ability, and he has set his sights on Nunez from Liverpool. Due to Liverpool manager Klopp's preference for using Jota and Luis Diaz as starting forwards, the 25-year-old Uruguayan international has seen limited playing time this season, featuring only 14 times in the Premier League and scoring just twice. There have been recent rumors that he might seek a move away, with Barcelona among the interested parties. AC Milan has now joined the race and presented a clear acquisition plan: a six-month loan followed by a permanent transfer for £41.5 million this summer. Liverpool acquired Nunez from Benfica in 2022 for a hefty fee of £85 million. Accepting AC Milan's offer would mean a substantial loss for Liverpool, which the club's management may find hard to accept. Additionally, Liverpool is currently vying for the Premier League title and may not be willing to let go of Nunez mid-season.

Friday 006 Italian Super Cup: Juventus vs AC Milan Juventus has achieved 7 wins and 11 draws in 18 rounds, ranking 6th with too many draws restricting the team's improvement. Currently, the team is 9 points behind the top Atalanta, and the title race remains fierce. In the first 10 home games of the league this season, there have been 7 draws. Looking at the current injury situation of Juventus, the main defender Bremer, the rotational forward Milik, and the main defender Caval are all out due to injuries. AC Milan has only managed 7 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses in 17 rounds, temporarily ranking 8th. The team's performance has been average, leading to the dismissal of head coach Fonseca, who was replaced by former Porto coach Conceicao. The team aims to secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League group stage. In this season's Champions League, the team has achieved 4 wins and 2 losses in the first 6 rounds, with a promising qualification situation. From the injury situation of AC Milan, the main striker Leao, the main defender Florenzi, the rotational forwards Jovic and Okafka, as well as the main midfielder Musa are all out due to injuries. As old rivals, Juventus and AC Milan are very familiar with each other. In the last four encounters, Juventus has achieved 1 win and 3 draws, remaining unbeaten and slightly superior. Looking at the data, Juventus made a shallow concession on neutral ground, which can be considered a reflection of their hard strength. However, recently their attacking ability has…

The Italian Super Cup is about to kick off, and both Chinese and foreign media are buzzing about the concept of the "King of Cups." Little Inzaghi is a master of cup competitions, which goes without saying. However, it's important to emphasize that within Inter Milan's ranks, there are not just one but many players who can be called "cup masters," and we can take a look at them. For example, Takeyama. During his five years in the Portuguese league, Takeyama only won one league championship trophy, but he has accumulated six trophies from the Portuguese Cup, Portuguese League Cup, and Portuguese Super Cup. Another example is Lautaro, who has won five cup championships with his club and three with the national team. Then there's Damian, who never won a league championship before joining Inter Milan, but he did have FA Cup and League Cup trophies to his name. One of the representative figures is Mkhitaryan, who attended the pre-match press conference with Little Inzaghi. Since 2013, Mkhitaryan has been playing in the top five leagues, but it wasn't until the summer of 2024 that he won his first league championship trophy in the top five leagues. It was Inter Milan that helped him make up for the shortcomings in his career. However, Mkhitaryan's personal trophy room shines brightly because he has won so many cup championships. In 2014, Mkhitaryan shone in the German Super Cup, scoring a goal to lead Dortmund to a 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich and win the trophy. This was his first trophy with a…

Friday 002 A-League Brisbane vs Central Coast January 3, 2024 at 03:00 Brisbane Roar is a mid-to-lower-tier team in the A-League, with a total team value of about 5 million euros. The overall lineup strength is relatively thin, and in recent years, the team has still had a certain gap from the top half. Last season, the team's overall performance was average, eventually finishing ninth in the league and failing to qualify for the championship playoffs, with a nine-point gap from the top half. This season, the team's reinforcement efforts are insufficient, and there has been a decline in form, currently only ranking 13th in the standings. The team has yet to secure its first victory this season, and the focus now is on achieving that first win. Central Coast Mariners is an upper-tier team in the A-League and the defending league champion, with a total team value of about 5.25 million euros. Although the overall lineup strength is not very strong, the team's cooperation is very cohesive. In the past two seasons, the team has made significant progress, winning the league title for two consecutive seasons. This season, the team has retained the core framework from last season, but the recruitment efforts have not been significant. The team's main goal this season is to continue the excellent form of the past two seasons and strive for a three-peat. However, the team has entered the season slowly and is currently only ranked tenth in the standings, although the gap from the top half is not large. They need to quickly…

Today, we're going to talk about the upcoming Italian Super Cup showdown, a classic European football matchup—Juventus vs AC Milan! 🎬 This is not just an ordinary football match, but a comprehensive battle of history, tactics, and psychology! ⚽️ First, let's take a look at Juventus! Juventus has been in a very stable state this season, remaining unbeaten in their last ten matches with a record of 4 wins and 6 draws, fully demonstrating their tenacious fighting spirit! 💪 More importantly, their attacking power is considered top-tier in Serie A, averaging 1.7 goals per game, while their defense is as solid as a rock, conceding only 0.8 goals per game on average. 🔒 In their last cup match, they achieved a resounding 4:0 victory over Cagliari, boosting their morale to the max! 🚀 In summary: Juventus is in good form, showing remarkable stability in both attack and defense. Now, let's turn our attention to AC Milan! The story of AC Milan is a bit more complicated. Although they have achieved a record of 5 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss in their last ten matches, which seems pretty good at first glance, in reality... their form has been inconsistent. 📉 Their offensive end is performing well, averaging 2.0 goals per game, with a very active front line! 🔥 However, their defense is somewhat lacking, conceding an average of 1.0 goal per game, which always makes people worry when facing strong opponents. 😓 In one sentence: AC Milan has a fierce attacking force, but there are always some small hidden dangers…

In the grand narrative of AC Milan's football history, the story of coach Fonseca was as fleeting and poignant as a shooting star. An official announcement from AC Milan brought an abrupt end to this coaching journey that lasted only 200 days. Rewind to the time when Fonseca first arrived at San Siro, it was a moment filled with hope. He walked with a confident smile and firm steps, like a warrior about to embark on a legendary journey. The fans' eyes sparkled with anticipation, hoping he could skillfully reshape the glory of the Rossoneri. However, the gap between ideals and reality was like a deep ravine blocking the way. In the league campaign, the team's performance was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs. Facing strong opponents, the Rossoneri often lost their armor, and even in games they should have won, they would inexplicably fail. Remember that crucial battle, the San Siro stadium was full of expectant gazes, but the players seemed like lost ships, helpless on the field. Fonseca's carefully planned tactics seemed to be enchanted, unable to exert their power. On the European stage, victory songs were also not played. The team's attack resembled weak arrows, struggling to break through the opponent's defense; the defense was like a dilapidated wall, riddled with holes. Fonseca's tactical manual seemed to lose its magic in reality, with players on the field unfamiliar with each other's cooperation, their positioning chaotic, causing anxiety for the spectators. Fonseca's selection of players has also been questioned. Some hot-form players could only watch helplessly…

Time flies, and before we know it, 2024 is about to say goodbye to us. At this end of the year and the beginning of the new year, for the European football world, some leagues and teams have entered the winter break, while others still have to complete various competitions. Now that the season is halfway through, some big-name teams' performances have not met expectations, putting pressure on their coaches. For example, Pep Guardiola of Manchester City, Ange Postecoglou of Tottenham Hotspur, Omer Toprak of Borussia Dortmund, Andrea Pirlo of Juventus, and even Jose Mourinho of Fenerbahce have faced criticism and the potential of being sacked. However, it is not uncommon for big-name teams to change coaches this season. After Manchester United, Roma, and Valencia, another strong team has changed its head coach. This team is the Serie A giant AC Milan. At 3:45 am Beijing time on December 30th, the 18th round of Serie A continued, with a focus match where "Rossoneri" AC Milan drew 1-1 at home against the visiting "Giallorossi" Roma. In the last four rounds of Serie A, they only managed one victory. Currently, after 17 games, they have 7 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses, accumulating 27 points and ranking eighth in the league table. After the game, AC Milan's head coach Paulo Fonseca personally admitted that he had been fired by the club, ending his short tenure at AC Milan that lasted less than six months. This summer, the old coach Stefano Pioli, who coached AC Milan for four years, announced his departure. Subsequently,…

In order to find a replacement for the legendary Luka Modric, Real Madrid has been searching the transfer market for suitable candidates over the past few seasons. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, they have not been able to secure their desired player. Recently, according to the latest report from Italy's "La Gazzetta dello Sport," Real Madrid has found a very promising transfer target whose personal abilities make him a perfect candidate to succeed Modric. This individual is none other than the current midfield maestro of AC Milan, Frenkie de Jong. De Jong, a rising star in the Netherlands national team, has just turned 26 and is at the peak of his career. The Dutch midfielder has quickly risen to prominence on the stage of AC Milan, impressing with his exceptional footwork, outstanding vision, and calm reading of the game. He has become an indispensable midfield commander for the team. In the tactical system of the Rossoneri, he serves not only as a link between the front and back lines but also as a key figure in both offensive initiation and defensive interception. It is thanks to his remarkable performances that Milan achieved commendable results in last season's Serie A and displayed strong competitiveness in European competitions. Due to De Jong's outstanding performances at AC Milan, he has become a coveted target for many European giants. Real Madrid is one of the top clubs eager to sign him. According to "La Gazzetta dello Sport," De Jong's transfer value has soared to an astonishing 60 million euros, which attests to his immediate…
