We are getting closer to tonight's highly anticipated clash between Milan and Girona, scheduled for 9:00 PM CET at San Siro.
The Rossoneri, led by coach Conceição, are ready to prove their worth in this European competition, aiming for crucial points to secure qualification as the first phase nears its conclusion.
Journalist and correspondent Manuele Baiocchini discussed this and more. Here are his words to Sky Sport:
"Everyone expects a breakthrough tonight, from Sergio Conceição, to his staff and management. The Portuguese coach used harsh words after the defeat against Juventus; tonight, Milan must send a strong signal to fully take control of their destiny."
Baiocchini continued to talk about Conceiçao's team:
"A piece of good news for Rossoneri fans is the presence of Pulisic, who is feeling much better and could perhaps play in the second half."
Milan plays a match against Girona in the Champions League tonight. But, newly appointed coach Sergio Conceicao must put all doubts aside, especially after recent league loss against Juventus.
Here's what the former Porto boss said to the media as he urged the fans to keep pushing forward in supporting the team:
"When I mentioned substitutions, it wasn’t a criticism but a reality. Tomorrow, we have 12-13 first-team players, three goalkeepers, and three youngsters: Camarda, Zeroli, and Bartesaghi. This is also a message for the fans, the soul of the club: right now, it’s us here, and they need to support us; they must be the twelfth man—or rather, the first. Without them, the club doesn’t exist. Without the passion of the fans, the club doesn’t exist. I will give everything, the players will give everything, but we need their support. Tomorrow is crucial; we’re in an emergency, and we need everyone. We win together, we draw together, and we lose together. I’m not handsome, I’m not charming—fine. But right now, I’m here. The players feel the atmosphere outside. It’s important for everyone to come together. I had to say it; I feel it. I see too many divisions in a historic club. It’s Milan that suffers, not me or the players. Milan fans start as fans at one year old and remain fans for life. For me, that’s very important."
By the way, next year will see a general election held in New Zealand and True said the 2026 launch of regulated NZ online casinos signals that regulated igaming is a priority for those running the country.
“As far as saying it will be in place by early 2026, that is effectively prioritizing the legislation,” he said.
So, How Could Regulated iCasino Markets Impact New Zealand and the Economy?
Erik King, a specialist on internet gambling regulations, said: "By protecting gamers by implementing responsible gambling and security measures, the New Zealand government can ensure people are protected always when they are placing wagers," added King. "Regulating the gambling industry has been seen to deter illegal betting while also enhancing accountability among operators who must have a license."
