Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:29:34 +0100

APPIANO GENTILE - The penultimate training session before Tuesday night's UEFA Champions League last sixteen return leg against Chelsea took place this morning at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti. Apart from Wesley Sneijder, who rested as a precaution after picking up a slight cold, all the players took part in the training session. After a warm-up, Mourinho's players performed possession, shooting and tactical drills in small groups, and concluded with a series of practice

Serie A: AC Milan 0-4 Inter

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 16:02:21 +0200

MILAN - Thiago Motta and Diego Milito scored in their first competitive Milan derby, Maicon added a third before the break, and Dejan Stankovic struck midway through the second half as Inter completed a memorable victory over their cross-city rivals. The Italian champions bounced back from their 1-1 draw with Bari in style, sending AC Milan, who were reduced to ten men after the dismissal of Gattuso on 40 minutes, to their heaviest derby defeat since 1974. José Mourinho threw new signing Wesley Sneijder straight into the fray and the Dutch midfielder fired an early warning with a trademark long-range drive, forcing a difficult one-handed save from Storari. Inter's first-time passing was mouthwatering and the move that led to our opening goal was text book stuff.

Mourinho: Tomorrow is another day

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 15:56:53 +0200

Milan - José Mourinho analysed his team's Milan derby performance in a post-match interview with Sky Sport Italia. "Tomorrow is another day, but it was a similar match to last year's one when we played better and Milan hit us on the counter-attack," said the Inter coach. "Both teams left open the initiative to the other today. They felt strong on the counter-attack with Pato but we were dangerous when attacking spaces. It was a no contest after the first goal and the team won easily." On his decision to play new signing Wesley Sneijder, the Inter coach said: "The history of football is like this. When a coach makes the right choice he becomes fantastic. I knew that I would have been criticised if we had lost with Sneijder in the starting lineup, but now everyone

Mon, 11 May 2009 15:18:43 +0200

Mourinho: "Lazio not just Zarate"

Sat, 06 Dec 2008 08:44:06 +0100

APPIANO GENTILE: INTER - José Mourinho has warned against complacency as his team travel to Rome on Saturday in a bid to extend their Serie A lead to nine points ahead of Sunday's matches. In his pre-match press conference, the Inter coach gave his analysis of the Biancocelesti, explained why Adriano and Balotelli have been left out of his squad, and ruled out the arrival of new players during the January transfer window. Lazio"I'm not expecting to face a tired Lazio. Quite the opposite... I'm expecting Lazio to be fired up after their Coppa Italia victory at San Siro, a victory that gives them a chance of winning the national cup. I think it's difficult for them to win the championship, but the Coppa Italia is a trophy they can win. Zarate? I

Will the EU ever field a single team for the Olympics?

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 11:40:08 +0200

Brussels : Manolis Mavrommatis, a Greek Christian Democrat and member of the China delegation says that competing under an EU flag "would add many messages of unity to our Union. It would be magnificent." But, he went on "imagine if we had Olympic Games with five continents, each one competing on behalf of all of its countries. It's a good idea...But it would not be the Olympics." Romanian Liberal Ramona Nicole Mănescu disagrees. "Representation in the Olympics is by separate nations and that's how it should stay. If the EU had had one single team, many Member States would not have been able to send representatives...I believe in a Europe of diversity and competition." Hungarian Christian Democrat Pál Schmitt doesn't see a

Mayor welcomes 2012 Games progress but 'determined' to contain costs

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 18:07:45 +0200

London Mayor Boris Johnson today praised the progress that had been made on building the Olympic Park but said that greater transparency and openness were needed in the budget and forecasting for the 2012 Games and that pressure should be sustained to contain costs that are rising due to the global economic downturn. His comments came at Mayor's Question Time in response to a report published today by Carphone Warehouse co-founder David Ross, which revealed that new economic and market conditions had put additional pressures on the venues' budget which had risen by £106 million. The report also identified areas of risk requiring attention, in particular planning the delivery of the Olympic Village, the Olympic Park legacy and security. On the Olympic Park legacy, David Ross recommended

Serie A: Parma 0-2 Inter, SCUDETTO!!!!

Mon, 19 May 2008 05:14:47 +0200

PARMA - Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a brace on his return to competitive action to hand Inter their sixteenth Serie A title in the club's Centenary season. The Nerazzurri produced the perfect finish to a thrilling championship, winning a third consecutive Scudetto by three points after Roma were held to a 1-1 draw in Catania. Mancini brought on the Swedish ace for Cesar on 51 minutes after a first half in which the Nerazzurri failed to take their chances. It took Ibra just eleven minutes to make his impact. Played in by Stankovic, he sidestepped Couto and rifled an unstoppable low shot into the bottom left corner. Inter were rarely troubled by the home side, and Zlatan produced another moment of magic with eleven minutes left, stabbing home at the back post after a marauding run

Materazzi: Â«I take full responsibilityÂ»

Mon, 12 May 2008 18:58:04 +0200

MILAN - Marco Materazzi spoke to journalists about his penalty miss after Sunday's Serie A draw with Siena. "Unfortunately it went badly, but I have taken penalties many other times and I have always scored," he said. "This is football. I felt up to taking it and I did, but with hindsight perhaps I should have left the ball for Julio (Cruz), to whom I apologised after. "We're very disappointed because we could have won. We all know how it went and that I missed the penalty. "I want to point out that there was no harsh confrontation with Mancini in the dressing room. This isn't true, and I'm sorry that these things have been said. I told the coach what I'm telling you now. "We have to pick ourselves up now and think about that match (against Parma) that will be like a final."

Agliardi: "We must hold on to the point we gained"

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 03:55:53 +0100

FOOTBALL: Yesterday against Reggina, Fontana's stiff neck gave an unexpected chance to Federico Agliardi, who didn't lose it and gave an excellent performance. But, even if he was one of the stars, saving more than once the result, Agliardi shares the merit with the group. "The positive aspect is that we didn't lose on a difficult pitch, we must hold on to the point we gained because it gave us continuity and stability. We certainly could have been brighter in some situations, but winning at the Granillo' isn't easy. We have to keep a low profile because only a humble behaviour will allow us to gain little by little the forty points we need". Moreover Agliardi returned back home without having conceded any goals. One more satisfaction, not only for him. "Not having conceded any goals was

Migliaccio: "We have to live day by day"

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 03:51:39 +0100

FOOTBALL: "We only need few points to save ourselves, forty or forty-one could be enough". After Sunday's draw in Reggio Calabria, Palermo seem to have reached their first goal and the team can start thinking about big things. But Giulio Migliaccio wants to keep his feet on the ground and concentrate on Saturday's match against Udinese. "We are very close, we want to reach that goal in order to be more relaxed. It's been a particular season, we changed manager and went through difficult moments, but we can still save ourselves and we are close to the Uefa zone. Now that we are more relaxed we can live day by day and just think about the next match, in which we have to confirm our way of playing and show everybody that we are becoming a real team. Saturday won't be easy because Udinese

TV rights in football: will fans pay the price?

Thu, 29 Mar 2007 01:37:02 +0200

EU / Calcio, on Ladysilvia; The report has been prepared by Belgian People's Party MEP Ivo Belet and the debate on Wednesday is likely to touch upon how fans watch football matches in the future. The number of football channels is increasing - some clubs like Manchester United have their own channel - but is this good for fans? Recent developments suggest that the days of football on TV for free may be ending. This is reflected in the amount that TV bidders will pay for the right to screen a first rank tournament - for example the TV rights for the European "Champions League" for 2006-2009 went for 647 million. With that kind of investment those who pay for them expect a return on their investment via pay-to-watch TV. Individual vs Joint selling of TV rights At present there

Mon, 20 Feb 2006 15:23:33 +0100

Two Austrian biathletes, banned from returning to the Turin Winter Olympics after suddenly leaving for home, could be suspended from the next Games too, the Austrian Olympic Committee told Reuters. Wolfgang Perner and Wolfgang Rottmann went back to Austria on Sunday without telling anyone, after police and doping controllers swooped on their team's rooms late on Saturday and tested 10 athletes for banned substances. "Our board is going to meet next week and we will certainly discuss disciplinary measures," the committee's Secretary-General Heinz Jungwirth said in an interview on Monday. "One disciplinary measure would be to say they will not be taken to the next Games even if they qualify if they suddenly leave like that they don't seem to be very interested in taking part." The
