Samir Handanovic happy with Gabriele Oriali's return

Intern Milan's Samir Handanovic

Leeds [UK], July 13 (ANI): Inter Milan's captain Samir Handanovic is elated over the fact that Gabriele Oriali has joined the club as team manager as he said that Oriali is the link between the club and squad.
"We are happy that Lele Oriali has returned as team manager, because he is the link between the club and squad, he sees everything," Goal.com quoted Handanovic as saying.
Mauro Icardi was removed from Inter captaincy last season amid conflicting views of an apparent knee injury and also because of the internal disagreements with the club's hierarchy. Whereas, Radja Nainggolan was suspended by the club.
Handanovic appeared to slam both Icardi and Nainggolan indirectly as he said: "He (Oriali) is here because we want to get back to having the values that were lost over the years. Players have duties towards the club too, they can't just think they are allowed to do anything because they are talented."
The club will be guided by new coach Antonio Conte and Handanovic said that they can improve a lot under both Oriali and Conte.
"With Oriali's return and Conte in charge, we can improve a great deal," he said.
Handanovic also said that he feels great pride in wearing the captain's armband.
"I feel great pride in wearing the captain's armband. My attitude has not changed, though. A captain is someone who takes responsibility and speaks when he has to, trying always to be fair. It takes many captains in a team, as one is not enough," Handanovic said. (ANI)

India withdraw Smith protest as boards make peace in DRS row

India have withdrawn an official protest about the actions of Australia captain Steve Smith in the second test as the governing bodies of both countries moved to bring an end to the acrimony surrounding the ongoing four-match series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had earlier registered a complaint to the International Cricket Council (ICC) over Smith looking to the dressing room for guidance on whether to review an lbw decision during the Bengaluru match. Despite the hosts winning the test to level the series at 1-1 on Tuesday, India skipper Virat Kohli alleged the tourists had indulged in the practice throughout the match, sparking a war of words in the media and a robust response from Australia. The boards released a joint statement on Friday saying the chief executives of both bodies had met in Mumbai on Thursday and agreed to try and bring the focus "back to the game" ahead of next week's third test in Ranchi. "India has always cherished a c...
