GENOA, GILARDINO ANNOUNCES THE RENEWAL. ROME, DE ROSSI TAKES STOCK ON THE MARKET –
Alberto Gilardinotechnician of Genoa, spoke to Dazn to comment on the renewal signed yesterday morning: “I signed the contract, as agreed. I am happy, as is the company, we give continuity to the work that has lasted for a year and a half. There are foundations important players, we must enrich ourselves with hungry players”, he said after the defeat against Roma (1-0 final result). “I expressed my desire – explained Gila – to the company some time ago, which was to give continuity to the project. I feel very comfortable here, something important has been created and for a coach it’s fundamental.”
Daniele De Rossitechnician of Romespoke to the microphones of Dazn to analyze the victory against Genoa: “We didn’t find the width because we played tighter, in the last few games we suffered too many counterattacks, that’s why we played like this. Genoa is a difficult team to face, we shot a hundred times from the edge of the area without finding the goal, they played the game of their lives, I really like this thing. It wasn’t a great first half, but we had our chances, but we were not very qualitative in the conclusion strong team, it bothers everyone, not least us. I have a thousand names in my head, this job is terrible because two thousand prosecutors call me a day, journalists call me to say “did you get this or that”. ‘I’ve done some healthy scouting as an amateur, but a sporting director will arrive, I’ll certainly have a clear understanding of the characteristics that this squad will have to include. It’s not enough to list ten names, you have to understand how to fit them into the squad. I’ve said it from day one, it’s a squad that has few dribbling players, few leg players. A feature that this team lacks must be added, then we will also understand who wants to stay or not. I’m not being mysterious, I haven’t talked about names yet
The Inter striker Lautaro Martinez spoke to the microphones of DAZN after the home match against Lazio drawn 1-1 on the renewal: “I don’t know what will happen, but this week we have to find an agreement”.
PAPASTATHOPOULOS RETIRES. RESIGNATION FOR TEVEZ –
The serious injury suffered by Marc Bartra forced Betis Sevilla to turn to free agents at the end of October to strengthen their defence. Sokratis Papastathopoulosa 35-year-old Greek centre-back who had not renewed his contract with Olympiacos last summer, had arrived in Andalusia to bring experience.
The former Genoa, Milan, Werder Bremen, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal player, after a season in which he played 14 matches, decided not to continue his adventure in Spain and to retire at the end of the season.
Carlos Tevez will no longer be the manager of Independiente. The former Juventus striker has informed the club president that he will leave the team after the next match. Tevez, who had been hospitalized for an illness last month, had arrived at Independiente in August 2023, saving the club which was one step away from relegation.
This is the club’s official statement: “Carlos Tévez informed the President of the Club, Néstor Grinderti, representing the Board of Directors, that he has taken the decision not to continue training the team after the match we will play tomorrow against Platense. On behalf of the Institution, we want to underline the The commitment and professionalism of the outgoing technical staff, who courageously took charge of a complex sporting moment and led us towards a path of new objectives that we will try to achieve in the short term. At the same time, we want to underline the generosity of our team youth coordinator, Hugo Tocalli, who will lead the first team until the new technical staff is appointed.”
Real Madrid will soon need reinforcements in midfield. Not this summer, given that both Toni Kroos and Luka Modric will probably renew their contracts for another season, and then leave in 2025. And it is therefore in the summer of next year that the Blancos they will have to draw from the market to strengthen the median.
According to what was reported by Sunat the top of the list of the management of Casa Blanca there is Alexis Mac Allister. In Argentina they talk about contacts that have already taken place between the two clubs, but the tabloid specifies that no formal offer has arrived at Anfield. And that probably won’t arrive until next year.
Some rumors from Argentina told of a termination clause of 60 million euros, which however remains to be verified. Mac Allister, a world champion with Argentina, has joined Liverpool from Brighton for £40 million in 2023.
