😱 Nikola Milenković Admits Fear Ahead of Sunderland Clash – And It’s Not Isidor or Xhaka
Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenković has made a surprising confession ahead of today’s clash with Sunderland, revealing the one Black Cats star who has him genuinely concerned.
Many expected the Serbian international to highlight the threat of Wilson Isidor or new signing Granit Xhaka, but instead Milenković singled out winger Simon Adingra as the player who frightens him most.
“Facing him today is not going to be an easy task for me. I’m really scared of him,” Milenković admitted. “Adingra has that explosive pace and skill to change a game in seconds – he’s the kind of player defenders hate facing.”
Adingra, who joined Sunderland in a headline-grabbing move, has quickly become one of the team’s most exciting attacking weapons. His direct dribbling, ability to cut inside, and eye for goal have already made him a fan favourite at the Stadium of Light.
Milenković praised the Ivorian’s unpredictability and insisted that Fiorentina will need to be fully focused if they want to keep him quiet.
“You think you’ve got him under control, then suddenly he’s past you. He’s unpredictable – and that makes him very dangerous.”
As both sides prepare for today’s high-stakes encounter, all eyes will be on Adingra to see whether he can justify Milenković’s fears and deliver another standout performance in Sunderland colours.
😱 Granit Xhaka Admits Fear Ahead of Nottingham Forest Clash – And It’s Not Odoi or Gibbs-White
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Granit Xhaka has opened up ahead of today’s clash with Nottingham Forest, revealing the one Reds player he dreads facing most.
Surprisingly, it isn’t attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White or versatile defender Denis Odoi who troubles him. Instead, Xhaka pointed to striker Chris Wood as the man who gives him the most concern.
“Facing him today is not going to be an easy task for me. I’m really scared of him,” Xhaka admitted. “Wood is a powerful forward, physically strong, and when the ball is in the air he is almost unstoppable.”
The New Zealand international has long been known for his aerial dominance and ability to hold up play, traits that make him a nightmare for opposition midfields and defences. His presence gives Nottingham Forest a direct threat, especially in tight, physical matches.
Xhaka acknowledged that while players like Gibbs-White bring flair and creativity, it is Wood’s physicality and experience that stand out as a real danger.
“You think you can match him for strength, but he always finds a way to get on top of you. That’s why I respect him so much – he makes things very difficult.”
As Leverkusen prepare for a tricky test against Nottingham Forest, all eyes will be on whether Chris Wood can live up to Xhaka’s fears and deliver another commanding display up front.
