00:00Welcome to Maxi-Sport, your sports news show on Mediantv.
00:20Inter Milan beat Atalanta Bergamo 2-0 yesterday in Riyadh and qualified for the final of the Italian Super Cup.
00:27The addition for Atalanta could have been heavier without the multiple stops of its goalkeeper Marco Carneschi.
00:34Decisive in front of Lautaro Martinez and Federico Di Marco.
00:37Inter, winner of the last three editions of the Italian Super Cup, will face in the final the winner of the second semi-final,
00:45which will take place tonight between Juve, winner of the 2024 Italian Cup, and AC Milan, vice-champion of Italy,
00:52which will be led for the first time by its new coach.
00:55The Italian Super Cup, for the fifth time in Saudi Arabia, has been playing against four teams in total since 2023.
01:05It's hard to do better to start the year than to win a trophy.
01:09That's also what Juventus and AC Milan have to say.
01:13Opposed tonight in the semi-final of the Italian Super Cup.
01:16On paper, the two clubs don't play their first role in the league, with a sixth place for Bianconeri and an eighth for Rossoneri,
01:25and may not have as good a chance to add to their impressive record in 2025.
01:30On Juve's side, Kev Frenturam's performance will be scrutinised closely.
01:34The Frenchman scored his first goals against Fiorentina in the first leg last Sunday,
01:42and AC Milan have a new Portuguese coach, Sergio Conceicao,
01:46who was thanked by his compatriot Paulo Fonseca last Sunday.
01:52Real Madrid have a chance to get their heads back, at least temporarily, from La Liga.
01:56Tonight, in a game late from Matchday 12 of La Liga, against Valencia in Mestalla,
02:01for the first away game of the club in 2025.
02:05As a reminder, the game was postponed due to floods that ravaged the south of Spain at the end of October.
02:11The Meringues, however, will have to look for a result on the lawn of a club that is currently relegated.
02:17With a new coach, Carlos Corberan, favourites on paper,
02:21Kylian Mbappé, back from his leave in Dubai, and his teammates, will have to be vigilant.
02:26Marking the end of the winter break after 10 days without playing, the game could turn out to be tricky.
02:31A win would allow them to overtake their rival, Atletico Madrid,
02:35who are currently one point ahead of Casimi during the season,
02:39but with an additional game to play.
02:48It's an opponent that has just changed coach,
02:51and in general, when that happens, the players have an additional motivation.
02:56In my opinion, Ruben Baraja has done a fantastic job at Valencia,
03:00but that's what happens in football.
03:03Now, there is a new coach with new ideas,
03:06so we expect a very demanding game, and that's what will happen.
03:10As for the atmosphere, I don't know what it will be,
03:13but we have to focus on the meeting, and only on today's meeting.
03:18I don't know what it will be, but we have to focus on the meeting, and only on today's meeting.
03:28Nobody expected Barça to get the results it did in the last few games,
03:33but in terms of points, I think that the level of competition in the Spanish league
03:38reduces the number of points necessary to win the competition,
03:42and the fact that Atletico Madrid is also part of this fight with us,
03:46and with Barcelona, creates even more uncertainty.
03:53This time, will it be the right one?
03:55After a year of absence due to his knee injury,
03:58and a draw at the Isco in January, Neymar Jr. has played again at the beginning of the week
04:02in a friendly against Alfeja during a 2-0 win,
04:05well served by his Brazilian compatriot, former Barcelona player,
04:08to adjust the goalkeeper of a cross shot from the right,
04:11but barely on the way back from training.
04:13It's been a few days since his fall,
04:15and the Brazilian striker is still absent from the training session,
04:19since he couldn't attend yesterday's first team training due to stomach pain.
04:24The Saudi club has stopped communicating.
04:26As for Ruben Neves, the Portuguese midfielder has resumed training
04:30to be able to expect his presence in the group next Tuesday.
04:34His last match against the Brazilians goes back to October 21st,
04:37with the Saudi Arabian champions in the lead.
04:40In the league of elite champions of the AFC,
04:42against the Emirates of Al-Ain,
04:44it should be noted that El-Hilal is the winner of the trophy.
04:48Barely arrived last winter,
04:50the Nigerian striker Gif Torban,
04:52who has just returned from Gantoise,
04:54has already left the Olympique Lyonnais,
04:56since the 22-year-old has signed with Hoffenheim in Bundesliga,
04:59a transfer that will bring a nice sum to the Rodanian club
05:02in a delicate financial situation.
05:05The Olympique Lyonnais announces the transfer of its striker Gif Torban
05:09to the German club Hoffenheim.
05:11The amount of the operation rises to 9 million euros,
05:14accompanied by a maximum bonus of 3 million,
05:16of which 1 million is guaranteed,
05:18and an interest of 7.5% on the added value of a potential transfer.
05:23This is what the club explained in a statement,
05:25forced to reveal the details of this transfer,
05:28being on the stock exchange side.
05:30In total, the Super Eagle will have played 21 games
05:33with the Olympique Lyonnais,
05:35for 5 appearances in the Ligue 1, 3, and the Coupe de France, 2.
05:42The Moroccan team suffered a heavy defeat against Colombia
05:45for its first match of the Kings World Cup Nations,
05:48a 7-a-side football match,
05:50played on Thursday night at the KL Arena in Milan,
05:52with a 4-1 final score.
05:54The Colombian team's nickname, the Cafeteros,
05:56has shown better disposition and greater organisation
06:00than the Olympique Lyonnais,
06:01visibly surprised by the homogeneity, power,
06:04and discipline of their opponents.
06:06The Colombians dominated the first period,
06:10ending with a wide 3-0 score,
06:12before setting up a 4th after the break.
06:15In the second period, Fouad El Amrani saved the honour
06:17for the national team by executing a penalty
06:19in the MLS style,
06:21despite the presence of a certain Barck Boussoufa,
06:23and former figures of the Botollah,
06:25such as Zacharieh Dref and Essam Raki.
06:28The Moroccans lacked inspiration
06:30and wasted an incalculable number of chances
06:33to come back in the game,
06:35especially as they scored on a Colombian goalkeeper
06:37in the evening, Camilo Mena,
06:39who was the man of the match after the match.
06:43In the second round of the Brisbane ATP tournament,
06:46Novak Djokovic won his 20th win in 20 games,
06:49against Gaël Monfils,
06:51in two games, 6-3, 6-3,
06:53the Frenchman who couldn't do anything,
06:55despite some nice sequences.
06:57The Serbian took the service of the goalkeeper
06:59very early on,
07:01exploiting the only free kick he got
07:03in the first set,
07:05and then took Monfils' service
07:07one-on-one in the second,
07:09where he even delighted the Frenchman
07:11a second time, 5-3.
07:13The Serbian, well on his feet,
07:15making few direct mistakes,
07:17and dominating in the exchange,
07:19managed a serious match
07:21and left Monfils, 38 years old,
07:23with only one free kick
07:25After a season of 2400,
