Summary of the day in sports, 7.10 (Sport1)

Juventus are already deep in the preparations for the game against Milan on Saturday, but in Italy they are still analyzing their victory over Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday.

Last night former striker Antonio Cassano, who is known as a big paw, commented on the game and killed Juba despite the 1:3 victory.

"Juventus on the whole did what was assigned to them and won, but I wouldn't be encouraged by this game at all. They came under a lot of pressure when the score was reduced to 1:2, and the Israeli team deserved a draw and even a victory," Cassano said.

"They reached five or six excellent situations in a few minutes, and with all due respect to Maccabi Haifa, they are a very mediocre team. If they were playing in Serie A, they would be fighting for relegation. If even against such an opponent, Juve has trouble winning, they are in trouble."

Condescending - and not only in Maccabi Haifa.

Cassano complimented the hero of Juve's victory, Angel Di Maria, and said that "fortunately for her, he solved all her problems".

The day after the game, by the way, Di Maria had to experience a difficult experience, when burglars tried to get to his villa in Turin, where he was staying at the time together with Dušan Vlahović.

The squad included three burglars, who tried to climb over the fence of the villa and activated the alarm.

Di Maria called the police and the burglars began to flee, but only one of them was caught and arrested.

As a reminder, Di Maria's house was already broken into in March 2021, when he was still a Paris Saint-Germain player.

During that violent robbery, members of his family were held hostage and jewelry worth 500,000 euros was stolen.

Be that as it may, Di Maria and Juventus continue their preparations for Saturday's game, with a view to the rematch with Maccabi Haifa on Tuesday in Israel.

The one who will be absent from the game is Mattea de Chilio who is injured and will be out for two weeks.

The condition of Arkadiusz Milik, who did not play on the fourth, is still unclear and it is possible that he will also rest in the game on the third.
