كلوب: ما حدث أمام نابولي كان رعبًا.. وعلينا الرد ضد أياكس

أدلى يورجن كلوب، مدرب فريق ليفربول، بتصريحات قبل مباراة الليلة أمام أياكس الهولندي في مسابقة دوري أبطال أوروبا.

ويستضيف ملعب “الأنفيلد” مباراة الفريقين في إطار منافسات الجولة الثانية من دور مجموعات دوري الأبطال، موسم 2022/23.

وخسر ليفربول مباراته الأولى أمام نابولي، بنتيجة 4-1، بينما فاز أياكس على رينجرز برباعية نظيفة.

وقال كلوب في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” الإنجليزية: “الأولاد يعرفون أن ليلة نابولي كانت رعبًا، بدا الأمر كما لو أننا التقينا في اليوم السابق للمباراة للمرة الأولى”.

وأضاف: “كان نابولي جيدًا في تلك الليلة لكننا جعلنا الأمر سهلًا للغاية بالنسبة لهم، كان بإمكانهم تسجيل المزيد من الأهداف”.

وواصل: “علينا أن نعود من جديد ونقاتل، ندافع ونبقى متماسكين، هذا ما نحتاج إلى القيام به، أعرف الصبية، أعلم أنه يمكننا الرد، الآن علينا فعل ذلك”.

وأردف: “اعتقدنا أن أياكس سيلعب بهذه الطريقة، لديهم تشكيلة قوية وقد قاموا بعمل جيد حقًا، هم يحققون نتائج رائعة ونحن لسنا كذلك، علينا أن نقاتل خطوة بخطوة، وعلينا أن نحاول القيام بذلك الليلة”.

Depois de não conseguir concluir o acordo com o Lille, da França, já que o clubeperdeu o prazo permitido para concluir a negociação, Caju retornou ao Santos e busca espaço com o técnico Levir Culpi. O atleta será apresentado pelos franceses em janeiro.

E para encontrar a oportunidade, o lateral esquerdo corre contra o tempo e treina em dois períodos paras se manter no nível do elenco que vem atuando no Campeonato Brasileiro.

– Venho treinando forte depois que retornei. Tenho feito dois períodos de trabalhos para estar no mesmo nível da equipe que vem jogando. Estarei sempre à disposição, sempre dando o meu melhor para que o professor possa enxergar isso e me dar uma nova oportunidade – explicou.

Enquanto o Lille aguarda chegar 2018, Caju sonha com o título do Brasileirão no Peixe. Com oito pontos de diferença do Corinthians, o time de Levir acumulou seis pontos nas últimas duas rodadas, enquanto o líder apenas dois.

-A gente sonha. Eu acredito sim. Não só eu, mas toda a equipe está confiante. Estamos determinados, treinando forte para conquistar nossos objetivos – concluiu.

Wolves transfer news on Botman

Many Wolves fans have been left flocking to some transfer news involving Sven Botman.

L’Equipe (via Sport Witness) have now hinted that the Midlands club could return for the Lille central defender in the January transfer window, after being linked with a move for him in the summer.

Lille do not currently have plans to sell him, although the ‘courtiers have not disappeared’ with regards to attempts to secure his signature, which seemingly indicates that WWFC are still interested.

Having been a key part of Lille’s Ligue 1 title-winning side last season over PSG, only missing twice in the UEFA Champions League this campaign.

At just 21 years of age, the Dutchman is such a hot prospect, and so the Wanderers would do very well to secure his services.

Wolves fans on Botman transfer news

These Wolves fans flocked to the transfer news as it was shared on Twitter, as most seemed desperate to sign him, while others think that he is too unrealistic a target given the level that he is playing at:

حارس أستون فيلا عن التعادل مع مانشستر سيتي: سعيد للإشادة بي بعد ما حدث الجولات الماضية

تحدث إيمليانو مارتينيز، حارس مرمى فريق أستون فيلا، عن تعادلهم الثمين مع مانشستر سيتي، في بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وتعادل الفريقان بهدف لمثله، في إطار منافسات الجولة السادسة من الدوري الإنجليزي، على ملعب “فيلا بارك”. أهداف مباراة مانشستر سيتي وأستون فيلا

وقال إيميليانو مارتينيز في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية: “تحدثنا خلال الأسبوع عن الالتزام، كل لاعب شارك أو لعب في التشكيل الأساسي أعطى ما يزيد عما لديه للحصول على النتيجة”.

وأضاف: “ليس من السهل أن تتأخر في النتيجة بعد الشوط الثاني ولكن منحتنا الشخصية دفعة وكان لدينا المزيد من الفرص للتسجيل”.

وواصل: “في بعض الأحيان لا يكون لديك ما تفعله لمدة 45 دقيقة ولكن وظيفتي هي الحفاظ على الفريق في اللعبة واستخدام قوتي، سجل ليون بايلي هدفًا جيدًا وكل التصديات مهمة”.

Newcastle eyeing Oleksandr Zinchenko

An update has emerged regarding Newcastle United’s reported transfer interest in Manchester City’s Oleksandr Zinchenko.

What’s the talk?

According to The Northern Echo, the Magpies could make an ‘ambitious’ swoop for the Ukraine international in the January transfer window.

The report claims that the Toon Army could move for Zinchenko if he continues to play a supporting role at the Etihad Stadium in the coming weeks.

Time to axe Ritchie

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe must secure a deal to sign the left-back as it could allow him to axe Matt Ritchie from the starting XI.

The Scottish full-back has been in dire form since the start of last season, and the prospective signing of Zinchenko could leave him on the bench or playing further up the field. He has averaged a poor WhoScored rating of 6.60 in the Premier League this season, slightly down from the 6.64 he managed in the 2020/21 campaign, showing that he has been unable to consistently turn in impressive performances in the top flight.

Meanwhile, Zinchenko averaged a WhoScored rating of 6.84 in 20 Premier League appearances for Man City last season, with his score weighed down slightly by five of those games coming as a substitute. At the European Championship in the summer, he averaged a superb score of 6.98 in five matches as he made four tackles and interceptions per game in helping Ukraine to the quarter-finals.

City boss Pep Guardiola previously hailed the 24-year-old’s ‘exceptional’ quality and pointed out the standard of player he is able to handle as a defender.

The Spaniard said: “He is always focused, always concentrated. As a left-back he fights against [Mohamed] Salah, [Marcus] Rashford, [Angel] Di Maria – the toughest opponents and he doesn’t make mistakes. His quality with the ball is exceptional, we know it…”

This shows that the £25.2m-rated beast has the ability to perform consistently at the top level to a good standard, in comparison to Ritchie’s sub-par displays for the Magpies over the last 18 months. Therefore, signing Zinchenko could allow Howe to axe the Scot from the starting XI and potentially leave him on the bench in a reserve role, with the Ukrainian hopefully becoming a regular in the team.

It is now down to PIF and Howe to make sure that they can convince him to make the switch to Tyneside. He has not started a single league match for City this season and the prospect of playing week in, week out could potentially be tempting for the 24-year-old.

'Franco chutador', Renato busca repetir gol vitorioso do Santos no Equador após 13 anos

MatériaMais Notícias

Enfrentar o Barcelona de Guayaquil no Estádio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo – como acontece nesta quarta-feira, às 21h45, desta vez pelas quartas de final da Libertadores – traz boas lembranças ao Santos. Em 2004, quando visitou o Ídolo do Equador pela segunda vez, venceu por 3 a 1. Na ocasião, era só a primeira fase, mas valeu para um jogador do Peixe em especial.

Após 13 anos, o Alvinegro vai repetir um único nome na escalação, o de Renato. Nesse tempo, o volante passou pelo Sevilla, da Espanha, e pelo Botafogo, mas não esqueceu do gol de fora da área que abriu o placar ao Santos e, posteriormente, deu a vitória por 3 a 1.

-Lembrança boa. Ainda mais pela vitória. É o que sempre falo: procuro ajudar a equipe para vencer, independentemente de fazer gol – recordou durante o reconhecimento de gramado do Peixe. (Como se ele precisasse).

Na ocasião, o primeiro do marcador do Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo veio de fora da área e de perna esquerda, mas de onde Renato costumava arriscar.

Na campanha de 2004, o Santos parou justamente nas quartas de final. Mas se depender da previsão do experiente Renato, o Alvinegro deve ir mais longe na competição.

O camisa 8 ousou até comprar o atual time com o vice-campeão da Libertadores de 2003, que tinha Diego e Robinho.

-Hoje temos jogadores mais experientes. Aquele grupo era jovem, tinha sido campeão brasileiro. Mas vemos a mesma ambição. Futebol está mais dinâmico e mais corrido. Temos condição de chegar em outra final – aponta.

Assim como o futebol, as características de Renato também mudaram ao longo de 13 anos. O que parece não ter mudado em nada é a coragem de chutar de longe e a vontade de deixar sua marca em decisões.

-O Alison treina para chutar de longe também. Principalmente nas últimas semanas. Nós, do meio, temos que pegar o rebote. Estamos conseguindo fazer isso e o Levir dá toda a liberdade. Procuramos chutar e, se não chutar, não faz gol!

Spurs in pole position for Dejan Kulusevski

As per Tuttosport, via Sport Witness, there has been another update on Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Juventus attacker Dejan Kulusevski.

The Lowdown: Paratici and Conte enter race…

Recent reports from Italy claimed that the Sweden international has been added to Spurs’ ever-growing list of Serie A targets. Indeed, as explained by TUTTOmercatoWEB, both Conte and Paratici admire the player a lot and see him as a gem with enormous potential – making Spurs a ‘credible candidate’ for his signature.

Taking to Twitter recently, reporter Daniele Longo also claimed that contacts are ‘in progress’ between Juve and Spurs. In another promising claim, the paper edition of Tuttosport said that Tottenham are very much in contention.

The Latest: Spurs ‘in first place’…

As per their sources, via Sport Witness, Tottenham are ‘in first place’ as they enter the race to sign Kulusevski amid his lack of game-time in Turin. They claimed that both Conte and Paratici adore the 21-year-old, and while they face stiff competition, it is believed that Spurs are the favourites in the transfer race as things stand.

It won’t be cheap to bring him to north London, though, as the Bianconeri apparently value Kulusevski at around €40m (£34.1m).

The Verdict: Gamble?

Despite primarily playing on the wing, Juventus’ talented ace can actually be utilised in the number 8 and number 10 roles according to a detailed scout report by Outside of the Boot. This could make him a far more viable transfer target for Spurs given they have still yet to replace the influence of former star Christian Eriksen.

Lauded as ‘incredible’ by Portuguese footballing veteran Bruno Alves, Kulusevski may well come as an outside contender to finally fill the void left by Eriksen’s departure.

Over his best Italian top flight season back in 2019/20 for Parma, the maestro averaged a very impressive 2.2 key passes and 2.1 completed dribbles per 90 – similar numbers to what the Danish playmaker managed during his best years in north London (WhoScored).

However, his relative inexperience at the top level, having just emerged over the past two seasons, could count against him in that regard, and £34.1m is a large gamble to bet on.

An alarming day for England

Having arrived into Leeds hopeful of a series-clinching victory, England were left to lament a dramatic first day in which form, injury and even faulty fire-detection equipment conspired against them

A 5am fire alarm might well have been the highlight of England’s day. Having arrived into Leeds hopeful of a series-clinching victory, England were left to lament a dramatic first day in which form, injury and even faulty fire-detection equipment conspired against them.By far the most immediate concern for England surrounds the fitness of their fast bowlers. James Anderson appeared in significant discomfort after setting off for a sharp single during the hosts’ batting innings, stretching and flexing his right leg for the remainder of his brief tenure at the crease. He would later bowl without the menace of his second day spell at Edgbaston, and left the field on several occasions to receive treatment.Anderson’s already astronomical importance to the England attack escalated further prior to play upon confirmation that Andrew Flintoff would play no part in the fourth Test. Flintoff looked severely restricted by his injured right knee during Thursday’s training session, and was eventually replaced by Steve Harmison – a move that stabilised England’s bowling unit, but substantially eroded the depth of their batting line-up.According to an ECB release, Flintoff remains eager to play in the fifth Test at The Oval from August 20, but will not receive anymore pain-killing injections to assist him. There remains the possibility that the recently-concluded Test match at Edgbaston was Flintoff’s last, but with almost a fortnight to rest, England are optimistic their enigmatic all-rounder will be afforded a final hurrah in south London.Flintoff’s withdrawal was not England’s only drama prior to play. Matt Prior was struck down with back spasms while playing football in the warm-ups and was immediately taken from the field for treatment. England requested Australia that the coin toss be delayed for ten minutes while medical staff decided whether a replacement wicketkeeper was required. In the end, Prior was given the all-clear and, while appearing stiff at the crease, still managed to post an innings-high total of 37 not out.”I have been on so many drugs today that I don’t think I’ll remember much of (the innings) tomorrow,” Prior said. “It was really touch and go … and I have to thank the Australians. That extra ten minutes was huge in allowing me to have the injection and receive treatment from the physio.”I knew that if I didn’t play that I’d be right as rain toimorrow and absolutely gutted that I didn’t go through a bit of stress today. It’s stiff. When you have a back spasm all the muscles are seizing up and the joints can tighten up. Ultimately your body is telling you to stop moving. You’ve got to try and get it going again, you’ve got to try and move it. Obviously I’ve had a lot of physio, a lot of massage, the normal anti-inflammatories and pain-killers. And I had an injection in my butt this morning.”The hosts’ mood was tested early on Friday when players and support staff were evacuated from the Radisson SAS Hotel at around 4.50am due to a fire alarm. All were forced to stand in the rain for 20 minutes while fire crews investigated the source of the alarm.”It’s not ideal,” Prior said. “I think anyone would be slightly miffed at 5am standing in the rain with no shoes on. It’s not an excuse. All it was was a few grumpy people moaning they’ve been woken up at five.”

Villa part ways with Craig Shakespeare

Aston Villa have parted ways with assistant head coach Craig Shakespeare.

What’s the latest?

That’s according to a claim made by The Telegraph journalist Matt Law, who revealed in a post on Twitter that the 58-year-old coach, who Dean Smith brought into the Villa Park setup last season, is also believed to have left the club following the sacking of the 50-year-old manager.

Law continued to state that this decision could suggest that the club’s owners, Nassef Sawiris and Wesley Edens, have a successor for Smith already lined up, something which may well lead to a quick appointment of a new Aston Villa manager.

In his tweet, the journalist said: “Understand Craig Shakespeare has also left Aston Villa with Dean Smith which points to a quick appointment/replacement.”

Fans will be buzzing

While the decision to sack Smith appeared to generate a rather mixed reaction from Villa fans, should NSWE indeed already have started negotiations with a potential replacement for the 50-year-old, it will undoubtedly be news that will leave the Villa Park faithful buzzing.

Indeed, with the club currently on a run of five straight defeats in the Premier League, there are quite clearly issues within the first-team squad that quickly need resolving, as, heading into the international break, the Villans find themselves just two points above the top-flight relegation zone – on ten points after 11 games played.

And, considering the club spent a whopping £89.84m in the summer transfer window, with a number of extremely talented players such as Danny Ings, Emiliano Buendia and Leon Bailey making moves to Villa Park, it is clear for all to see that Villa’s performance in the league has simply not been good enough so far this term.

However, the start of the international break would appear to be the perfect time to bring in a new manager, as the incoming coach would have two weeks to settle into the club, be able to begin installing his own tactical ideas and philosophies into the players and have ample to assess the current ability level of his squad ahead of the visit of Brighton & Hove Albion on November 20.

As such, as long as NSWE do indeed have Smith’s replacement already lined up, the news that Shakespeare has also packed his bags could bring with it a considerable silver lining for the club. Supporters, therefore, will be delighted if it hurries up the appointment of a successor.
