Frank DeBoerpresent at the EA7 World Legends Padel Tour, currently taking place in Rome, spoke thus about a sport that is exciting many former players: “We footballers are competitive, everyone loves to continue playing with the ball and this is an easy sport to approach. Former players always want to beat everyone, it doesn’t matter at what level it’s a good replacement for football, I enjoy it.”

Inter won the championship by a landslide:
“They were fantastic, they played really well and I congratulate all of Inzaghi’s staff and everyone at Inter. I’m happy for the fans, I haven’t been at Inter for long but I have excellent memories of Milan and Inter , I’m happy that they are where they want, considering that it’s one of the best clubs in the world. Champions League goal. They’ve already come close, but it’s not easy given that all the teams are aiming for that trophy, they have to continue doing what they’re doing.” .

What do you think of Italian football?
“Every year everyone has to fight hard to stay at the top, certainly Serie A is one of the great world leagues, like Germany, England and Spain. I think it is very close to the Premier League with the level shown in recent years.”

What do you think of Daniele De Rossi as a coach?
“I think he changed the mentality of the team, he knew what to expect from the Roma players and he showed it. I think he proved that he is an excellent coach.”

Zirkzee out of Holland’s squad for the European Championship after being the Serie A star:
“Well, we don’t expect much from Holland but I think that if everyone is well, we can beat anyone but also lose to everyone. There are many Dutch players in Italy, all important players for the selection. Koopmeiners? He had an excellent year, he knows how to play well and can also score, he has proven to be an important player.”

Deployed during the current season, after starting on the bench, by Adi Hutter in place of Philipp Köhn, Radek Majecki he did better than the starter and eventually took his place between the sticks for Monaco. Author of 7 clean sheets in 12 Ligue 1 matches while Köhn had only made 5 in 22 matches, the 24-year-old goalkeeper of the Polish national team was a nice surprise, among the best revelations of the season, protagonist of Monaco’s good end to the season, who finished, we remember, in 2nd place in Ligue 1.

To reward him for his great impact and consolidate his role as number 1 for next season, Majecki has just extended his contract for another three years. Excellent news for the Monegasque club, struggling to choose their goalkeeper following the departure of Danijel Subasic in 2019. “AS Monaco is pleased to announce the extension of Radoslaw Majecki’s contract. The 24-year-old Polish goalkeeper is now linked to the club until June 2028,” reads the official statement published by the Principality club.

On the eve of the quarter-finals of the playoffs against Carrarese, the Juventus coach Next Gen Massimo Brambilla presents the match like this on the official channels of the Juventus club: “In view of the return match against Casertana we focused almost all our attention on the mental aspect. We gave confidence and courage to the team because we knew we had all the possibilities to overturn the result of the first leg. In Alessandria we had played a good match, making few mistakes, but those small mistakes we had made had become decisive in the economy of the final result. We said that our level should have risen in finishing and finishing in the final twenty meters and at that point, in Caserta, our performance was of enormous quality.

I think the key was lightheartedness and awareness of our means. The most evident aspect in the growth of these kids is the mental approach. If we compare the first and last match played, ours seems like a different team, but we knew it, we expected it.

The lightheartedness with which we played the last matches in the regular season certainly helped us a lot in this championship finale, but also the awareness, as I said before, of our abilities. I think this combination has allowed us to be here today to play in the quarter-finals of the national playoffs. No result has been taken for granted up to this point, let’s be clear, we must give credit to these guys because they behaved very well, right from the start, even when we didn’t get the victories.

Cesena, Carrarese and Juventus Next Gen, in this order, were the three teams – in Group B – who achieved the best results in the second round. Carrarese is a structured team, with a mix of experienced players for the category and with other players at the height of their footballing maturity. It is a strong team, with the right experience and important qualities. In the championship we have always lost against our next opponents, but at the moment we are a different type of team and we have all it takes to play this double match on equal terms.”
