Roma, Gasperini opens up a new scenario – Calcio style
Views: 98
There were two days of meetings between the coach and Sartori to plan the new Bologna, with an ambitious market involving at most two major departures and the sole objective of maintaining high-level continuity.
Vincenzo Italiano and Bologna look to the future with clear ideas and a solid project. After signing the extension until 2027, the coach and technical director Giovanni Sartori immediately got to work. They held two days of summit meetings to lay the foundations for the new Bologna, screen market profiles, and design a team capable of matching the triumphant season just concluded, culminating in the historic Coppa Italia victory after 51 years.
With Italiano confirmed, Bologna is one of the few teams in the lower half of the table that will not change its technical leadership. A strategic advantage that the club wants to use to move early in the market. Moreover, within the new contract worth 3 million net plus bonuses, technical guarantees have also been included to maintain a high level of competitiveness.
However, the rossoblù club will have to resist the many market temptations, as many players have attracted the attention of top clubs. The declared intention is to protect the best players, with the exception of a maximum of two significant departures. The cases of Zirkzee and Calafiori, with high resale percentages, remain exceptions of the past. Today Bologna is more protected, but some clauses remain.
Bologna, a new journey begins
Among the hot names is Lucumí, on whom Genk still holds a 10% resale stake. It must be said that the Colombian’s contract expires in 2026 and the summer of his departure seems to have arrived, due to the stalemate on the renewal and a salary of just 500,000 euros. Barcelona is also interested in him. A similar situation for Ndoye, who had a great season with 8 goals in Serie A and the decisive goal in the Cup final. Bologna would like to keep him, but the interest is high, and his salary (800,000 euros) still makes him very appealing.

The company’s idea is clear: not to exceed two significant departures and to intervene with targeted restyling in the backup lines. Among the names leaving are Erlic, Moro, Calabria, and Pobega, the latter redeemable for 12 million but negotiable in case of a discount.
Meanwhile, attention is also on Beukema, followed by clubs like Napoli and Liverpool, while Orsolini seems destined to become a symbol of the project and Ferguson to remain to redeem himself from a season marred by injuries.
Sartori will have a significant task ahead, also in terms of player confirmations and contract adjustments.

Will Franco Israel be guarding the goal in Torino-Genoa?
Views: 18
Doubt in Torino. Franco Israel’s conditions could make him miss the match against Genoa. The match will take place at 12:30.
The goalkeeper of Torino is in serious doubt for the match against Genoa; the trauma to his right rib, suffered in the match against Napoli, does not seem to have fully healed.
During the match against Napoli, the goalkeeper received a nasty blow which was then evaluated by the medical staff of the granata. The result: the goalkeeper was unable to complete his normal weekly preparation and, for this reason, does not seem to be included in the lineup of twelve against the Grifoni.
Today, however, we await the official medical report on the condition of the twenty-five-year-old Uruguayan.
If the results are not positive for Franco Israel, then it will be the turn of his substitute Paleari.
Torino, currently in 15th place in the Serie A standings, is waiting for the official results of the goalkeeper Israel’s physical condition.

What happened to the Torino goalkeeper and what to expect in the coming hours
The player received a blow during the match against Napoli (in which the granata won 1-0 against the Neapolitan team). A joy broken by the injury that appeared, from the very beginning, quite serious.
To worsen the mood of the Turin club, the player’s absence in the weekly training session (to prepare for the match against the Ligurians) and, therefore, rumors about his health status have increased.
This absence itself would suggest, regardless of the verdict, that the goalkeeper will be absent on the field tomorrow, Sunday, October 26, but what is most breath-taking is the medical report.
Genoa, the team that is bottom of the Serie A standings, could take advantage of this forced stop to try and secure three much-needed points. At this point in the season, in fact, the Ligurians must try to drastically change their fate, otherwise a future relegation seems more than likely.
The team of Marco Baroni must instead keep their eyes on the horizon and not lose concentration in order to continue to stay in the middle of the table and then, who knows, even try to climb up the ranks.

Milan, Modric: “A big shame, we threw away 2 points”

AC Milan midfielder Luka Modric commented on the bitter 2-2 draw against Pisa in a press conference.

Milan, Modric’s words
MILAN-PISA 2-2
“We expected this match, they came to defend and make our lives difficult. It’s our fault if we didn’t win: we didn’t do enough to win the game. We lost two important points today. These home games, with all due respect to Pisa, you have to win them.”
TIGHT MARKING?
“It’s fair, I have to adapt. We need to play better overall: we did some good things, created many chances but didn’t score. But I have to adapt for the rest.”
APPROACH
“We should have killed the game in the first half. We played well, but only scored one goal. We started the second half sluggishly, then there was the unfortunate penalty and goal. But that’s football, that’s why it’s beautiful: even if you’re stronger and deserve to win, anything can happen. We are sad and angry for losing two valuable points.”

We made mistakes, we need to reflect. However, Pisa played their game
Views: 30
AC Milan waste a great opportunity to consolidate their lead: from 1-0 to 1-2, they need the final minutes to avoid a sensational defeat. The risk of losing the top spot for Milan is now concrete.
It was supposed to be a quiet evening for the Rossoneri, an opportunity to strengthen their first place in the standings and face the midweek round with serenity. Instead, against a brave Pisa, the Rossoneri complicate their lives and have to thank Athekame, the author of the 2-2 in injury time, for avoiding an embarrassing loss.
AC Milan-Pisa 2-2: match analysis
The match started off on the right foot thanks to Leao’s goal after just seven minutes. But Allegri’s team, instead of closing the game, relaxed, showing presumption and lacking ruthlessness in front of goal. In the first half, Milan controlled but did not score, and Pisa stayed in the game.

In the second half, Gilardino played his trump card: Cuadrado’s entry changed everything. The Colombian won and scored the penalty for 1-1, his eighth goal in career against the Rossoneri, then inspired the counterattack that led Nzola to the sensational 2-1. Milan, confused and lacking clarity, tried to react, with Leao hitting the crossbar, Nkunku wasting a possible lead.
Only in injury time did the equalizer come, signed by Athekame, avoiding a heavy defeat but not erasing the bitterness. Perhaps the Rossoneri paid for their lack of respect for the opponent, just as Allegri had warned before the start of the match.
A necessary reality check, because on Tuesday in Bergamo Milan risks not showing up as the league leaders.
