ROME – Where to start again? This was the question Roberto Mancini knew he had to answer in the post-match press conference for Italy vs. Belgium. And the Italian coach had no hesitation in stating that the positives were evident in the first 25 minutes of the second half. “We were very aggressive, winning back all the second balls and not conceding anything.” Admitting that we must avoid the mistake of forcing things when there's no space, Mancini explained what happened in the first half. “We gave too much space to a strong team that played better. And on the second goal, we left the field too open." For…

ROME - Roberto Mancini's national team got off to a false start against Belgium at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, displaying glaring weaknesses and a lack of consistency for half the match, only to then return with great determination but little effectiveness. The defeat was the result of two deadly counterattacks, one in each half. Overall, it was an insufficient performance against a team boasting a well-oiled backbone and impressive individual qualities. The first 45 minutes saw the Azzurri struggling to control possession and build-up play. Mancini's team was physically and technically overwhelmed by Belgium, who dominated in the…

COVERCIANO - Both Inter youth players, Francesco Pio and Sebastiano Esposito have been called up to the Italian national team under the guidance of the coach for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. The call-up represents a historic opportunity: if Sebastiano, the middle brother of the family, makes his debut, he will become the third Esposito to wear the Azzurri jersey, a record never achieved by a family in Italian football. Francesco Pio, who has already scored five goals in nine appearances between qualifiers and friendlies, and Sebastiano, fresh from a significant goal in Sassuolo-Juventus, could therefore play together in the same match. This scenario recalls the historic…

MILAN - Inter Milan scored five goals to overturn Udinese, scoring twice in the first 15 minutes at San Siro. As they had against Napoli, Chivu's team was once again forced to come back from two points behind. The 5-3 victory over Udinese is a testament to their explosive strength, driven by quality and energy. Carlos Augusto initiated the Nerazzurri's response and immediately closed the gap before Barella, in full-back form, leveled the score at 2-2. Diouf's assist for Thuram made it 3-2. Inter weren't content with overtaking at the start of the second half. Esposito…

MILAN, AUGUST 29, 2026 - Inter are preparing for their first away match of the season against Cagliari, scheduled for Sunday, August 30, at 8:45 PM at the Unipol Domus.

The English midfielder is close to receiving his first call-up and is expected to start on the bench. The manager could use him in the second half to increase quality and dynamism in the central area. Jones and Stones ready to come off the bench. John Stones is also expected to start among the reserves. The English defender needs to gain playing time and could find some time…

MILAN - Inter picked up where they left off. They scored four goals against Monza at San Siro, perhaps inflicting a heavy defeat on Juric's Brianza side, who appeared in a state of emergency and with a confident attitude but clearly needed an experienced goalkeeper. Calhanoglu opened the scoring with a powerful strike from outside the area. Monza equalized just before the half-hour mark thanks to Varela, who scored with a low diagonal shot. In the second half, Chivu's team was unstoppable: just three minutes later, they regained the lead through Zielinski, who...

PERTH - The first Milanese derby of the season was played in Perth, Australia, in a friendly atmosphere, even if it's considered a derby. AC Milan and Inter finished tied, with one goal each: the Nerazzurri took the lead through Federico Dimarco, while the Rossoneri equalized from a penalty kick by French striker Christopher Nkunku. This derby, which fell within the heat of preparation, was played at a slower pace than usual, but still provided excitement with sudden bursts of energy on both sides. Both Chivu and Amorim drew positive feedback. At Optus…

Inter bid farewell to Germany with a late victory at Karlsruhe at the BBBank Wildpark, thanks to two splendid goals from Frenchman Andy Diouf deep in injury time. Inter continues to be a team that never gives up, reflecting the character of their coach, Cristian Chivu. Karlsruhe seemed on course for a narrow victory, despite the Nerazzurri pressing and creating a series of goal-scoring opportunities. The Bundesliga season will begin in early August, and the German team is clearly ahead in preparation. After a tight first half, Civeja gave the lead to...

“"To paint a great wall, you don't need a big brush, but a great brush," said a famous 1980s television commercial. A maxim that fits perfectly with the new direction of the Italian national football team. Given that the coach can do nothing alone, but like any team, an organization is needed, which has been and always will be the most complex of all. The choice of the Azzurri's bench must be fully in tune with the Serie A clubs. Because if local talents end up on the bench or...
