Un poco afortunado regreso a los campos tuvo Hirving Lozano. Luego de superar un aislamiento forzado por COVID-19, el Chucky se reintegró al Napoli para disputar los octavos de final de la Coppa Italia ante Fiorentina. Sin embargo, veinte minutos después de haber ingresado al campo, el delantero mexicano se fue directo a las regaderas por una durísima entrada sobre el argentino Nicolás González.
Heading into what could be one of the biggest years of his career, Weston McKennie is playing superbly right now. The Juventus midfielder has played every second for the club in 2022, including all 120 minutes in the Supercoppa Italia on Wednesday at the San Siro. Though Inter Milan pulled off a 2-1 comeback to take the trophy, McKennie scored a great goal, after which we saw how much his teammates love him — or at least how much they really want an excuse to touch his gorgeous hair.
ROME - Juventus scored three goals in seven second-half minutes to complete an astonishing comeback and beat AS Roma 4-3 on Sunday after goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny saved a late penalty to keep them in front at the Stadio Olimpico.
Tammy Abraham put José Mourinho's side in front and Paulo Dybala made it 1-1 going into the break, but goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Lorenzo Pellegrini put Roma in charge early in the second half.
VENICE - AC Milan went top of Serie A with a 3-0 win over struggling Venezia on Sunday, as defender Theo Hernández struck twice in the second half to help his side clinch their third consecutive league victory.
Zlatan Ibrahimović tapped in after two minutes, making the Venetians the 80th team the Swede has scored against in Europe’s top five leagues, a record only Cristiano Ronaldo has matched since 2000.
Giving his first interview since collapsing on the pitch after suffering sudden cardiac arrest during Denmark's Euro 2020 opener against Finland, Christian Eriksen outlined his dream over the next year: to represent his national team at the 2022 World Cup.
Back on Dec. 28, news broke that Napoli captain and Italian international Lorenzo Insigne was seriously considering joining Toronto FC in the summer following the completion of the 2021-22 European season. The rumor had a lot of clout, especially the bit about Toronto making him Major League Soccer's highest-ever paid player.
LONDON - Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku was left out of the squad to face Liverpool at home on Sunday after saying he was dissatisfied with his role at Stamford Bridge.
The 28-year-old, who signed from Inter Milan in the close season for a club-record $132 million, told Sky Italy recently that he was unhappy with manager Thomas Tuchel's system. Lukaku also said he would like to return to Italy at some point in his career.
Asked about the Belgian international's comments ahead of the Liverpool game, Tuchel said they were "not helpful."
According to multiple sources, Napoli and Italy international Lorenzo Insigne has agreed to join Toronto FC in the summer after finishing out the 2021-22 season in Italy. It's an incredible coup for both Bob Bradley's Reds and MLS as the 30-year-old winger arrives at the height of his power.
Los argumentos para proponer un purificador sahumerio o un exorcismo que espante los malos espíritus alrededor de Hirving Lozano comienzan a apilarse luego de que el Napoli informara que el jugador diera positivo a una prueba de Covid-19.
El diagnóstico, de hecho, no hace más que cerrar un accidentado 2021 para el jugador. Si bien el año tuvo un inicio prometedor, la cantidad de infortunios que vivió el mexicano dan como para abrir un expediente digno de análisis para investigadores de lo paranormal.
Napoli cayó sorpresivamente ante Spezia, uno de los sotaneros de la Serie A, y perdió terreno importante en la lucha por el título en Italia. Hirving Lozano jugó todo el partido y no hizo más que aportar al desastre navideño que sufrió su club.
Dicho de otro modo, no fue el día del Chucky. De hecho, le anularon un gol por posición fuera de juego y se perdió otro con la portería descubierta.
