| Milito on the verge of Inter Milan return Posted: 07 Sep 2013 08:08 AM PDT Inter Milan striker Diego Milito says he is close to completing his comeback from injury after scoring in a friendly today. The Argentine, out of action since suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury during Inter's Europa League win over CFR Cluj in February, netted in a 2-2 draw with Swiss side Lugano. "I hope soon to be back at my best, be well and able to help the manager when he needs it. The worst has passed, there's not much time left til I return," the 34-year-old told the Serie A club's television station. "It was brilliant scoring again, it's the greatest joy for any attacker. But more than that, it was good just to get some minutes out on the pitch." Milito has scored 73 goals for Inter and is a fans' favourite because of his exploits during their treble success in 2010, when under the guidance of Jose Mourinho they won the Serie A title, the Italian Cup and the Champions League. He scored six goals during their successful Champions League campaign, including two against Bayern Munich in the final. - Reuters, September 7, 2013. |
| Vettel takes pole at Italian Grand Prix Posted: 07 Sep 2013 07:10 AM PDT Australian Mark Webber will line up alongside on the front row for his last race in Europe while Germany's Nico Hulkenberg sprung a huge surprise by grabbing third place on the grid for Ferrari-powered Sauber. Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, Vettel's closest title rival with a 46-point gap to make up, qualified fifth and behind Brazilian team-mate Felipe Massa with Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo watching. Lewis Hamilton, last year's winner for McLaren who had entered the weekend chasing a fifth successive pole, failed to make the top 10 and starts 12th for Mercedes. The pole was the 40th of Vettel's F1 career and came at a track that Red Bull principal Christian Horner said only last month was something of an Achilles heel for the team along with Belgium. However, Vettel won in Belgium and the 26-year-old German took his first Formula One victory at Monza in 2008 for Toro Rosso while also winning for Red Bull in 2011. "This weekend, the car was fantastic. We had a really strong pace yesterday and we were able to take that into qualifying today," he told reporters. "In the end, it's a bit of a surprise to have both cars on front row at a place where historically we've had bad years. This year it seems to work well and hopefully we'll have a good race tomorrow." - Reuters, September 7, 2013. |
