From 1989 to June 2006, if you told any Juventus or Milan fan at the bar that Inter was cheating during those years, they were the first ones to laugh. They would sing “you never win.” For 20 years they have been trying to convince us, unsuccessfully, that Inter did as much as Juve, with Luciano Moggi even deciding who would be saved and who would be relegated (ask Bologna fans what they think). It is wrong to think of Calciopoli only in terms of who won the championship, it was a system, a virus that affected everything, from individual matches, to player contracts, to economic interests related to dynamics of other teams. Juventus was extremely strong and would have won 90% of the championships it won anyway, but that’s not the point. The championships of the Roman teams have nothing to do with it; I repeat, it was not a cabal that had interests only in who won, but it concerned every aspect of Italian football. (translated)
"It would be nice to win right away – smiles the coach – but we know it won't be a simple challenge against a strong team. The feelings are always positive, and we know there will be a bit of excitement. We had only two training sessions to prepare for the match, and we need to be quick, but the goal is to play well and win to immediately bring our fans along." Mancini: “Playing well and winning is the only medicine.” (translated)
Roberto Mancini, recalled to lead the Italian National Team, aims to play well and win to regain the fans ahead of the debut against Belgium in the Nations League, facing the challenges of a young group eager for redemption after past disappointments. (translated)

🔥 #Napoli, Aurelio #DeLaurentis has decided to block comments under his profile because he is tired of the fans, he understood that it is necessary to do so to contain the outburst of the fans after the start of the season. (translated)
Dear Udinese fans, on Saturday, September 26, at the Florian Krygier Stadium in Szczecin, our Pogoń Szczecin will host your Udinese Calcio in a special friendly match. It is not just any match: it is organized for Robert Dymkowski, a legend of our club (347 appearances, 120 goals between 1990 and 2002, then coach of the women's team), who has been fighting against ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) for some time now. This match also exists thanks to your coach, Kosta Runjaić, who led our bench before arriving in Udine. He, along with his staff, made himself available to organize this meeting with personal commitment — a gesture that we will not forget in Szczecin. The entire net proceeds from the match, along with the proceeds from the official jerseys, special scarves, and the charity auction, will be donated to Robert and his family to support him in everyday life. To date, over 5,000 tickets have already been sold. Anyone wishing to contribute directly can also do so through the official fundraising: 🔗 https://t.co/spaO7Ka3c1 For this reason, we turn to you, black-and-white fans: follow this match, talk about it, share Robert's story. Whether you are in Szczecin on Saturday or following the team from Udine, your support counts as much as that of our fans. Football, when it really matters, knows how to unite two distant cities for a cause greater than any result. Thank you, Udinese. Go Robert. #CałaPogońGraDlaDymka #PogońUdinese @Udinese_1896 @TuttoUdineseit @Udineseblog_ @Gazzetta_it @CorSport @SkySport @cmdotcom @SerieA (translated)

Recap #Sinner #Giorgi Camila Giorgi ha dato alla luce Magnus Vangelis. Bellissimo nome, sembra quello di un generale che nel 732 ha fermato gli Arabi a Poitiers. Un livello di epicità che merita più di un semplice benvenuto. Mi pare più adatto May the Force be with you. Morituri te salutant. Valar morghulis. Camila ha dichiarato che rientrerà nel tour allenata da suo marito. Quanto manca lo smarrimento che poteva generare solo lei, ripetendo lo stesso identico schema per tre ore. Senza voltarsi indietro. Senza titubare. Dritta fino all’alba del cinquantesimo gratuito o di una gloriosa vittoria. Torna presto: le variazioni le lasciamo ai tifosi senza fantasia. Intanto, sul fronte Sinner si è riaperto il dramma: salterà Pechino? Salterà l’Asia? Non si sa nulla. Potrebbe avere bisogno di più tempo, chissà se più nelle gambe o nella testa. “Nessuna notizia, buona notizia” - dicono i saggi. Dunque, fino a qui tutto bene. Fatto sta che su Jannik, ultimamente, per capirci qualcosa bisogna effettuare un’analisi forense sui metadati delle foto, dai quali ricavare: studio della tensione mandibolare. Latitudine e longitudine attraverso la vegetazione locale. In alternativa, bioluminescenza della segnaletica stradale riflessa sulle superfici metalliche. Confronto della curvatura delle labbra con l’archivio fisiognomico storico. Scansione a raggi x del buio oltre la siepe. E vabè. Parliamo di cose importanti. Nike ha fatto per Zheng un kit che si chiama “Fenice di fuoco scarlatto”. Le scarpe sono tutte tempestate di rosso, oro e vendicativa magniloquenza delle dinastie imperiali. Bellissime. Cattivissime. Le scarpe per Jannik, invece, avevano la volpina cicciottina e le improntine delle zampette. Abbiamo capito che alla Nike esiste il team Mordor e il team Paperopoli. Tranquillo Magnus: sulle tue ci sarà mamma. #tennis #tennis #Giorgi #Sinner
Francesco Repice: "Come puoi essere credibile se menti dall’inizio sulla squadra per cui fai il tifo? Non ho mai capito perché un giornalista sportivo dovrebbe nascondere la squadra per cui fa il tifo. Essere tifosi non significa rinunciare all’onestà professionale. Significa semplicemente riconoscere quella componente emotiva che rende il calcio diverso da quasi tutti gli altri sport. Io ho scelto di dirlo sempre. Sono romanista. Poi ci sono il microfono, il lavoro e i fatti. E quelli devono essere raccontati per ciò che sono" #Calcio #Sport #Giornalismo

#Cardinale: "Sono stati tra i migliori 90 minuti di calcio che abbiamo visto. Voglio congratularmi con Ruben e con i nostri giocatori per aver continuato a lottare in queste prime partite prima della pausa per le nazionali. Non deve sfuggire a nessuno che un nuovo allenatore, con un nuovo stile di gioco e nuovi giocatori, avrà bisogno di tempo per trovare l’affiatamento giusto. E ringrazio i nostri tifosi per averci sostenuto in questa fase di transizione, mentre cerchiamo di sistemare le cose e riportare l’AC Milan alla sua tradizione vincente" #ACMilan #Calcio #Sport
