Man United hold talks in “recent hours” with Victor Osimhen’s agents over sensational summer deal a 21-year-old striker who's been making waves in Italy's Serie B with Cittadella The Chicago Fire are this close to finalizing a deal to bring in Claudio Cassano You might not recognize his name outside of Italy just yet Cassano has been one of the brightest stars in Serie B he’s got potential that’ll get any soccer fan excited He’s that type of player who suddenly pops up and makes you wonder Cassano is one of those players who’ll have you glued to your screen whenever the ball is at his feet he's already one of Cittadella's top names and is set to make his mark with the Fire Follow MLS Multiplex on X (Twitter). If you’re wondering how a player from Serie B could make an impact in a Major League Soccer team the answer is pretty simple: MLS has become a hotspot for young players looking to take the next step in their careers The league’s been showing that whether you’re from Europe or South America are hungry for something big to turn their fortunes around The team’s been putting in the work to get back to relevance in MLS and bringing in a young guy like Cassano is a brilliant move We’re talking about a player who could be the future of the team and the drive to prove to the world he’s got what it takes to compete in one of the toughest leagues on the planet Cassano’s arrival injects new life into the Fire and shows they’re betting on more than just big names Here’s the thing: MLS has clearly been improving over the years The league's technical level is nowhere near what it was a couple decades ago the Fire are helping cement the idea that MLS is the future for anyone wanting to show their talent outside of Europe’s top leagues he’s been excelling in Italy’s second division and he’s faced some major challenges already That experience will be key in helping him adjust to MLS’s fast pace What really stands out to me about this deal is the timing the year when many teams are planning for the long haul Instead of going after a 30-35-year-old whose best days are behind him energetic striker with tons of room to grow Cassano’s the type of signing that not only puts the team on the map for other clubs but also signals that the Fire are in this for the long run the big question on everyone’s mind: can Cassano handle the pressure in MLS and players coming from markets like Italy can sometimes face a reality check in their first few months But if Cassano can adapt quickly to the MLS style of play he might just become one of the league’s brightest stars in the years to come This is the kind of player who could help lay a solid foundation for the Fire and get them back on the map in MLS The hope is that he’s the missing piece to take the team to the next level © 2025 Minute Media - All Rights Reserved The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands All picks and predictions are suggestions only and not a guarantee of success or profit If you or someone you know has a gambling problem crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER ","https://fansided.com/",{"alt":"76","src":"77","url":"78"},{"type":"75","value":"79"},"link","Minute Media","https://www.minutemedia.com/",{"text":"7c","url":"7d"},{"type":"7b","value":"7e"},"All Rights Reserved Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands he’s covered CONCACAF teams as a sports journalist With a degree in Communications and Marketing Arthur worked at Boca Raton FC when the Florida squad was battling it out in the APSL and NPSL Arthur worked with Torcedores and Esportes News Mundo and Mexican versions of VAVEL before landing at Fansided Arthur’s a polyglot aiming to speak nine languages by 2030 Follow MLS Multiplex on X (Twitter). The arrival of Claudio Cassano could be the game-changer the Chicago Fire needs to shine in the MLS in 2025 the Mastio della Cittadella - National Artillery Historical Museum in Turin will host the exhibition Gauguin Produced by Navigare srl under the patronage of the Piedmont Region and the City of Turin the exhibition features more than 160 works as well as from a number of French and Italian museum collections along with two works attributed to the artist: the oil on canvas Femme de Tahiti (1891) and the watercolor Paysage Tahitien The centerpiece of the exhibition is 23 woodcuts from the Diary of Noa Noa (1893-94) written by Gauguin during his first stay in French Polynesia and enriched by his illustrations made using the woodengraving technique printed by Daniel de Monfreid.Distant and fascinating Polynesia was viewed by the French of the time with a mixture of curiosity and distrust for its culture considered “primitive.” However where he chose to settle for the last ten years of his life in the last decade of the nineteenth century This deep connection is also evident in the sixteen color lithographs of the Ancien Culte Mahorie series (1892) the two 1893 sculptures (one in terracotta and the other in bronze) and the Tahitian Woman’s Mask “Tehura” made in patinated bronze and from the Musée Despiau-Wlérick in France The exhibition also includes a carnet of thirty-eight drawings with sketches depicting studies of portraits details of the human body and the animal world A prominent role will also be reserved for facsimile lithographic prints from Gauguin’s last writing completed two months before his death in 1903 and published posthumously This sort of manifesto-diary collects notes and reflections on art friendship and other themes dear to the painter While Tahitian culture and everyday life profoundly influenced his work equally significant were his ties with the West France and his artist colleagues and friends by thirteen leading figures in nineteenth-century French art with 12 color lithographs; Jean-François Millet represented by the etching L’Angelus; Adolphe Beaufrère present with four etchings; and Louis Anquetin some exponents of the Nabis Group from Pont-Aven Maurice Denis whose lithographs with a religious subject will be on display Émile Bernard with the series of six watercolor lithographs Bretonnières flanked by one of his paintings on cardboard Paul Sérusier with the oil on canvas L’Adieu à Gauguin on loan from the Musée des beaux-arts in Quimper Also further enriching the exhibition are period photographs documents and artifacts to offer an immersion into Gauguin’s world The exhibition born from an initiative of Ministry of Defense-Defense Services S.p.A will be open Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 a.m With just three games left to play, both teams are on 35 points, suspended between play out and direct relegation: a knockout in this very delicate situation direct confrontation would push the loser in a sinister way towards the C series.  This is why, despite all the problems of this difficult moment, the Rondinelle are called to a significant test of pride that can allow Bisoli and his teammates to raise their heads and return to looking with conviction to salvation. La defeat with Pisa It was followed by some very tough days for the white and blues, with president Cellino directing his disappointment in particular towards mister Mara (who will not meet the journalists to present this race which could be worth an entire season). At Brescia the climate has become more than heated, with Cellino himself thinking on several occasions of relieving Maran of his duties without, however, managing to find the right solution or receiving the resignation of the coach who, on the contrary, has chosen to continue his path and has made it clear that he continues to believe in the permanence of the Rondinelle in Serie B.  The coach from Brescia, who still has to decide on the possible last-minute recovery of Bertagnoli, saw the group return Jallow and the director (the only one with a permanent position in the staff) Verreth. Two positive notes to better define the team that will have to give its all to “overwhelm” Cittadella. Mister Maran did not want to show his cards too much in such a delicate moment, but, also due to the need to get a result, the most probable line-up seems to lead to back to 4-3-1-2, with the advanced department again with the two strikers (Borrelli and one between Juric, favorite, and moncini), supported by an attacking midfielder (who should be Galazzi). For the rest, while Bjarnason is ahead on Bore to complete the trio in the middle of the field, the return of Cistana e Verreth, albeit in different positions, can offer the right balance to the entire team, which must face its "final" on Padua soil with the conviction and concentration of someone who is playing not only the whole season, but also an important part of his future.

In these times, at home, it almost seems like a revolutionary act. After 89 days and ten games of abstinence, the Reggiana savours victory again. He does so in the most important moment of the season and in the direct clash with Citadel, the last train. From that moment another race began, with a Reggiana who found courage, plots and intensity. It is true that the 'head' - which can also be translated as self-esteem - makes all the difference in the world. And so, after having risked the mockery of the ex with Voltan, portanova he launched himself on the counterattack and concluded with a right-footed shot into the corner, securing the victory. A goal worthy of applause, the seal of an almost perfect day. Last but not least, the pre-match with the two sets of fans who honored two historic fans who passed away during the week. The Granata supporters remembered with chants and banners Michele 'Mitch' Lucchese, who died in an accident on Easter Monday, while the 253 fans of 'Citta' honored Giovanni 'Forci' Scudiero, 42, who died the night before the match. How many will it take? "Maybe I'm wrong, but for me the verdicts will come on the last day and so it's impossible to do the math." In the meantime, it was vital to beat Cittadella. "Yes, we were a bit short of men between injuries and suspensions, we knew we would have to fight. In the last quarter of an hour we were a bit exhausted, but that's fine. We have rarely beaten teams of our level or lower. The coach has brought a different mentality and it showed." So the impact of Dionysius he considers it good. "In such a short time you can't do almost anything in terms of play and modules. You can only work on the head and the coach is doing it, bringing 'cazzimma' and a breath of fresh air". The cover man of success is Gondo, often criticized. "Cedric is too important, we bought him from Cremonese by investing. A year ago in January (2024, ed.) we rejected an important offer from the Spanish League: we kept him because we believe in him so much. He is an exquisite person, a very good guy. He works hard, he puts in an exaggerated effort and it is normal that sometimes he arrives tired in the goal area. He deserved a day like that, but now we need continuity from everyone". But that goal conceded in the 96th minute… "It bothers me, now we are at a disadvantage in the direct clash with Cittadella; let's hope we get one point ahead... Let's make do with it like this, we haven't won for three months: I would sign for winning them all 2-1". Thursday we go to Modena for a delicate derby. "Against a strong team, an important club that invests. The so-so performance in the past months had surprised me, and in fact now I'm in the running for the playoffs: at the beginning of the year I put Modena in the top five". We talked about Gondo before: speaking of strikers, he hasn't been seen yet Destro on the pitch. "I expect him to be ready when he is called upon, he has great values. You know very well that he has been out for a long time and is working, but risking him 'just for the sake of' makes no sense so it is right that he is managed. Against Cittadella he could have come on, but then some players had to be replaced due to small problems and the choices must be made accordingly". Would his goal be a salvation goal? "I always say it's one more, you never know, it was an opportunity and we have this extra card in the deck". Among the owned players, another one also played on Friday: the young Motta in goal, with an excellent debut in Serie B. "Last year he did very well in the Primavera, the team collected many points. We bought him from Juventus and we believe in him a lot: he is our future, a baby champion, a boy with his head on his shoulders". What is needed in this final? "I repeat: it will be a point-to-point fight. I hope that the team gathers as much energy as possible to make a great final rush" Paul Pogba in talks with D.C.

The Tuscans thus fall to last place with 21 points. Let's be clear, given the eleventh place in the standings with 37 points, the salvation of the yellow and blues now seems certain regardless of what the next results will be but, in order not to be influenced by what will happen on the other fields, captain Geroni and his teammates will have to do everything to take home the entire stake. Newly promoted after winning the last Eccellenza championship, the yellow and blues have had an up and down season at least in terms of results, but, thanks to the recent positive trend (five points in the last three despite two away games), the seasonal objective can now be considered achieved. To protect it, and to bid farewell to the friendly audience in a positive way, Pedrelli's band wants to try to beat the Cittadella Vis Modena, another ambitious newly promoted team led by former Sassese coach Mattia Gori. The Modena team, seventh at 43 and eager to reach professional football as soon as possible, is a far from easy opponent to face given the high quality of the squad, but the Sasso However, it has all the credentials to snatch the three points and thus present itself with greater serenity at the all-Bolognese derby scheduled for next Sunday at Corticella's home. 400 euro fine to Castelfranco for insults by fans to the referee and throwing a bottle of water followed by spitting at the referee. Pope Francis paid a surprise visit to “Cittadella Cielo” (Heavenly Citadel) a work of the “Nuovi Orizzonti” community founded by Chiara Amirante He was accompanied by Archbishop Rino Fisichella President of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization When the Pope arrived around 9:40 in the morning those present welcomed him in the facility’s auditorium after which a young man and a young woman gave their testimonies they sang “Follow Me” and described their own connection with the community Several other young people and adults present explained how their lives had changed and how they encountered the Christian faith through the “Nuovi Orizzonti” community Pope Francis then celebrated Holy Mass during which Andrea Bocelli sang the Communion and Recessional Hymns the consecrated members of the Community renewed their commitment at the service of the Church and their Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary the Pope met with the personnel working at the facility and then went outside to plant an olive tree He then took leave of the community at 4:50pm to return to the Vatican In responding to the personal stories that those present recounted to him the Pope acknowledged that they had not just spoken one word after another After having experienced so many types of looks from people “you experienced one look – one – that was not like any other… The Pope then gave some feedback to a young man named Jefferson saying that following the Lord is made up of “comings and goings” He reminded his listeners that the Lord was patient with his apostles made me feel that the Lord’s gaze is patient: he waits for you and never forces you to go ahead” The Lord knows that “with His first gaze he entered your heart He knows that once you have tasted love you can’t go back on it” but there was something else you were looking for” Once she had experienced Jesus’ loving look Pope Francis acknowledged several other persons who had shared their life stories with him “What struck me is that you have all given witness about Jesus… He also encouraged those present affirming that “the tendency to sin remains… Thank you for reading our article.

Coach Stroppa. 15 March 2025 – Sassuolo continues its march towards Serie A by beating Cittadella 2-1 away Ready to go and the Neroverdi advance with Muleteers then at the beginning of the second half the doubling of Berardi Only in injury time tronchin shortens the distance for the grenades.  So here it is 21st win of the season of Sassuolo who pushes it to -14 Spezia, who remains third after having drawn in Cesena. Net of the goal conceded at the end, when the Neroverdi, already at 2-0, were already thinking about the 'extra' holiday that the break will give them, Tombolato sees Grosso's team offer another show of strength. A goal in each half and everyone went home, with many greetings to the good will of the Venetians, in the game but always too far from the possibility of winning it, despite the aforementioned final goal that gave a bit of suspense to a match that Sassuolo has long dominated, and that Citta did only to the extent that some excessive carelessness on the part of Sassuolo allowed them to do so. Meanwhile, the Juve Stabia beats Modena with a brace from Candellone virtually closing the safety practice. The hosts unlock the result at the first available opportunity in the 10th minute and double just before the halfway point of the second half again with Candellone. Palumbo scores the penalty that shortens the distance. Cittadella (3-5-2): Kastrati; Salvi (48' st Voltan), Pavan, Carissoni; Okwonkwo (25' st Pandolfi), Rabbi (25' st Desogus).

"It will not be, in fact, an easy match because the Citadel has proven to be a troublesome team both at home and away. Many opponents have suffered on their own turf." Knowing the result of Pisa, who will play tonight at 20.30:XNUMX in the advance match against Palermo, could it have an impact on your mentality? "We must concentrate only on ourselves and, regardless of the outcome of the other matches, we will have to take the field to win". In addition to the suspended Pio Esposito, Soleri and Nagy will also be absent due to physical problems. Could this be the right opportunity for Colak's redemption? "In reality, we can't talk about redemption because so far the boy hasn't had many opportunities. He's definitely a player who can do well as a starter, but he can also make his contribution when he comes on as a substitute". Will Kouda start from the beginning? "With his characteristics he can easily play both as a striker and further back in midfield. We will see with today's finishing touches which will be the most valid solution". Could the various absences ruin the plans a bit? "In addition to the unavailable players, some other guys also have some physical problems, but, despite everything, we are training well. So far we have shown that our midfielders are also capable of creating several occasions because they have a good ability to insert themselves and shoot. They are all having a great championship". A Healing Journey: Encapsulating the Aesthetic is an art exhibition organised by Mary Rose Saliba at the Cittadella Cultural Centre in Victoria The exhibition is part of an ongoing project with a group of senior citizens The concept is to promote the natural environment and give a space for citizens to voice their concerns.  A close relationship with the environment and love for nature lead Saliba as an artist researcher to explore examine and analyse the deep connection between nature and human presence and its manipulation The study is a socially engaged art research project which highlights the lamentable divide between opposing poles – pitting nature’s delicately poised and aesthetically pleasing harmony against the widespread devastation of premordial rural areas “Nostalgic moments of the past raise awareness about past and present environmental deviations Such frustration and nostalgia encourage collaborative action… to challenge the brutal assault by construction magnates on Gozo’s rural and urban environment,” the artist says A diverse body of volunteers have joined forces in a bid to create a heterotopic multisensory experience The concept is aimed at triggering an impassioned reaction against the manipulation and degradation of nature stemming from construction moguls please register for free or log in to your account A goalless draw between Bari e Salernitana which does not change the standings for either team: the Apulians remain eighth, while the Salernitana temporarily hook the Mantova in third-last place.

This promontory, populated by endemic plants and animals, is also situated in a Natura 2000 area Archive Architecture Despite trying to yank the rug out from under their own feet Vincenzo Montella brought on a host of new faces Cittadella manager Roberto Venturato made a bunch of changes as well meaning that neither side trotted out its first choice XI Cittadella started brightly, forcing a good save from Terracciano within the first 90 seconds and hemming the Viola into their own half for the first 6 minutes. After looking deeply rattled, Fiorentina eventually woke up and reversed the action keeping the ball nicely in the middle and finding space out wide with the fullbacks Lorenzo Venuti in particular looked lively twice putting in excellent crosses that Dušan Vlahović couldn’t turn home (including one completely free header who created the first goal from nothing: he won the ball up the pitch Fiorentina kept the pressure up well but couldn’t add a second before disaster struck with Venuti earning a straight red for tripping up Žan Celar on a breakaway Montella eventually withdrew Sottil in favor of Lirola but Citta had the bit between their teeth now and should have equalized through Giuseppe Panico Montella must have spent the second half reorganizing things quite well It didn’t take too long for Ghezzal to control a long ball over the top and then center it for (who else?) that man Benassi to slam home The second goal opened things up even more; Citta threw numbers forward but it was the hosts who looked more dangerous and Castrovilli all wasting good chances on the counter Aside from a late couple of half-chances through Federico Proia which Terracciano repelled Fiorentina saw things out fairly effectively Terracciano—7: Didn’t face any shots that most Serie A goalkeepers wouldn’t have saved but offered a calming presence between the sticks and punched clear everything that came near him Also seemed to keep everyone loose in the dressing room and focused on the pitch Venuti—3: Was probably the standout attacker while he was on the pitch twice pinging in perfect crosses that his teammates couldn’t tuck away particularly in that situation and at that point in the match Time and again showed up with a key tackle but that may have been because Ranieri headed the ball backwards too Ranieri—6.5: Continues to time his tackles on the ground as well as any player I’ve ever seen Still needs to get stronger and still prone to occasionally losing his man or forgetting where he needs to be (again he flicked on the pass that put Celar through) but he never seemed troubled by Serie B attackers Great opportunity for him to get his confidence back and offered width on the left before the sending off Much more reserved afterwards and seemed to be targeted later on by Cittadella who built several decent chances down his flank his late runs into the box were consistently dangerous Also dropped in and did some of the grunt work on defense Pulgar—7: Looked great as the regista after a torrid start Did a nice job of switching play to the wings and keeping things moving a la Badelj although Citta never really pressured him as much as they should’ve never giving up an inch in the middle and making things difficult for the opponents Castrovilli—7: Danced his way out of trouble consistently and went on a couple of trademarked twinkle-toed runs in attack but also added some clever passing that he hadn’t previously displayed particularly a knack for switching play out to the right Really should have scored but we won’t be too mad but looked very good after Venuti went off The assist was class and he fired a curler just wide of the post not long after Still holds the ball too long and runs sideways but he’s got enough wiggle in him to be a useful piece Vlahović—4: Missed three (three!) wide open chances today which is becoming his defining characteristic and skill at turning past a marker are all fantastic but he simply has to score when given such great opportunities Not very many opponents will be as accommodating as to let the Viola win when the striker misfires that many times Sottil—6.5: Looked lively during his brief run and got an assist Was very upset to be subbed off and got in a bit of a tiff on the bench about it There’s no doubting that he’s a ballplayer Lirola—6: Lost Panico at the back post and was lucky the forward didn’t score but was otherwise pretty solid defensively Cáceres—n/a: Dug into the box and smacked everything that came near him back out for a little while Terzić—n/a: Replaced Dalbert late and looked fine but wasn’t on the pitch long enough to really leave an impression The 3-5-2 was very successful for a brief spate of matches The inverted wingers here allowed the fullbacks to get forward and create overloads out wide; Venuti in particular looked lethal. Benassi and Castrovilli’s late runs in through the middle were more than adequate in replacing another central attacker Now imagine if it were Federico Chiesa and Franck Ribery on the wings instead of Ghezzal and Sottil The extra runners from deep made a huge difference With Ghezzal often moving central and deep as Ribery would it’s clear that this is a replicable system The mister deserves praise for sticking to his guns tactically—he knows more about strategy on the pitch than anyone reading this—but his rotations are a cause for concern Sacrificing Sottil may have turned out to be the right decision but the youngster was far more threatening than Ghezzal in the early going Pedro and Szymon Żurkowski are rotting on the bench and getting very frustrated with their lack of time the priority really ought to be getting these end-of-the-bench options a chance to prove themselves but we finally glimpsed some grinta in this Viola side the sort that can produce spells of gorgeous passing football we saw that team roll up its sleeves and get ugly spoiling things in the middle and blazing down the flanks on the counter The defense displayed some badly-needed nastiness matching and overmatching Cittadella’s physicality With the caveat that it came against a Serie B team maybe this is the Fiorentina that we’ve been waiting for: an absolute predator in Benassi who can punish any mistake in marking supported by attackers who can beat a man and then do something with the space they’ve made This is more or less what Stefano Pioli tried to do; while it may not be a long-term solution there are lessons in mindset to be learned CITADEL (3-5-2): Kastrati; Salvi, Pavan, Capradossi; Rabbi (89' Diaw), Okwonkwo (79' Pandolfi).
