An Italian gem Guinea is craving for

He came in as a sub and after only seven minutes scored a first goal for Milan against Juventus after 658 minutes. A boy who was playing in Serie B just a few months ago received the ball on the left, then casually, as if he does it every day – left Manuel Locatelli in the dust, composed himself and curled the ball into the far corner past Guglielmo Vicario. As if scoring in one of the biggest derbies in Italian football were the most normal thing in the world. Away from home, with an entire stadium booing you. Alphadjo Cisse (19) managed to do all of that and once again showed that he is currently the biggest sensation in Italian football, while also proving that Milan made a shrewd move when they signed him from Verona for eight million euros last January.🇮🇹⭐️ 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐣𝐨 𝐂𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞 (𝟏𝟗) against Juventus: • 29 Minutes • 1 GOAL• 100% Shot Accuracy • 100% Accurate Passes• 9 Touches𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑. 🚀 pic.twitter.com/utUubwPLLn— Rising Stars XI (@RisingStarXI) September 6, 2026 The story of Alphadjo..

More midfielders? United ask about Nmecha

Since taking over the sporting department as a minority owner, sir Jim Ratcliffe had a clear plan – to stop the huge amount of spending and revamp the team in order to (finally) be competitive again. The sporting part definitely is not working yet (see: Eric ten Hag, Ruben Amorim, Michael Carrick), but the finances are in order. After sacking the staff, getting rid of (almost) all overpaid and under performing players, and upping the prices, United have managed to get some financial order. And they even made some good decisions in the last three transfer windows, but this latest report is interesting and it casts a doubt over their long-term thinking.Ex Gunner spoils United’s partyIt was evident in June 2025 that Manchester wanted to revamp the attacking sector. They spent a lot of money but acquired Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. This June, it was time to rebuild the midfield. 173 million euros were spent on three midfielders: Carlos Baleba (75 million euros), Andrey ..

Charlton coach blames Harambee Stars midfielder after costly error in 4-0 Stoke defeat

Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones has admitted his decision to rotate the side, including handing Kenyan midfielder Timothy Ouma his full league debut, may have contributed to his team’s 4-0 defeat to Stoke City on Saturday.Ouma, who joined the Addicks on a season-long loan from Slavia Prague, was handed his first Championship start alongside Oliver Skipp as Jones made four changes to the team that drew with West Bromwich Albion.##NAJAVA_MECA_9936477##Charlton started brightly but their afternoon quickly unravelled in the 14th minute when Ouma was adjudged to have fouled a Stoke player inside the box, with the resulting penalty giving the hosts the lead.Stoke then capitalised on Charlton’s lack of cohesion to score three more goals before half-time, ending the Addicks’ unbeaten start to the season in emphatic fashion.While Jones felt the penalty was a poor decision, he acknowledged that the changes he made could have played a part in Charlton’s collapse and accepted responsibility..

Gouiri’s brace couldn’t stop Marseille’s home defeat

It has been more than a decade and a half since Marseille last won the French title, and judging by the way they have started the new season, they won’t be winning it this time either. In fact, it feels like there will be no false hope or even the kind of euphoria so characteristic of a club that won the Champions League at the end of the last century. Nothing good is in the air. It smells like another gloomy season at the Velodrome! Even the transfer window suggested that Marseille would struggle to become a genuine challenger to Paris Saint-Germain, let alone anything more. Once the seemingly untouchable champions had made such a slow start, Marseille needed to take advantage and at least put some kind of pressure on them. Others have done so. Marseille have not. After losing to Paris, they are only marginally better off than the champions themselves – 2:3 (1:2).The third round is now over, and the table looks rather bizarre. Monaco are the only team with a perfect record, Paris Sain..
