With the introduction of the Premier League winter break, football addicts may worry about not getting their fix of football.
Matchday 26 of the EPL will be spread out over the course of two weeks, which means a severe lack of football. Thankfully there are two imperative matches being played this weekend in the Bundesliga and Serie A that will fill the empty space left by the winter break.
The sporting world lost one of its most important figures on Sunday as Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others passed after a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
The tragedy is one where almost everyone will remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they received the text, saw the tweet or read the news.
Tottenham could be left without star striker Harry Kane until the start of next season, according to manager Jose Mourinho. Kane left Spurs' 1-0 New Years Day defeat to Southampton with an injury, revealed after scans to be a ruptured tendon in his hamstring. The North London side was initially hopeful Kane would be able to resume training in April, but Mourinho has now suggested that may be too optimistic.
Well, that didn’t take long. In his first start since returning to AC Milan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted a well-taken goal to help his side beat Cagliari 2-0 on Saturday.
Ibrahimovic scored 56 goals in 85 appearances for the Rossoneri from 2010-12. Back with the club, following stops at PSG, Manchester United and the LA Galaxy, Ibrahimovic has already changed the way the team plays.
Just four days after being officially unveiled as an AC Milan player and undergoing his medical, Zlatan Ibrahimović made his return to the San Siro as a 55th-minute substitute in the club’s 0-0 draw with Sampdoria.
Following the completion of his free transfer from the LA Galaxy to AC Milan after the expiration of his MLS contract, Zlatan Ibrahimović was officially unveiled as a Rossoneri player on Thursday. The 38-year-old completed his medical, fitness tests and a voluntary individual training session before being presented in front of the media with his new squad number of 21.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is returning to Serie A, rejoining AC Milan after eight years away.
The Italian club confirmed the move on Twitter on Friday, saying the sides have agreed upon a contract through the end of the 2019-20 season with an option to extend it to the next season.
After an incessant 19-month news cycle that began on Mar. 31, 2018, with an incredible brace against LAFC and concluded on Oct. 24, 2019, with a playoff defeat to the same team, we’ll admit that we’re already feeling pretty empty without Zlatan Ibrahimović in America.
According to The Telegraph’s Mike McGrath, Zlatan Ibrahimović has agreed to join AC Milan, putting an end to a month of speculation surrounding the 38-year-old striker following the expiration of his contract with the LA Galaxy.
