X-Rated Row Played Key Moment In Phil Foden’s Man City Career

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola once opted to fine himself after he had a heated confrontation with Phil Foden during a match.

What happened between Pep Guardiola and Phil Foden?

We all know football is a game of passion and sometimes, in the heat of the moment, certain individuals can see red and lose themselves.

Essentially, anyone who has ever played the sport at any level will have witnessed someone going into full meltdown mid-game and it appears this can happen at the very highest point of the game too.

Indeed, when Man City were playing a Champions League tie against Porto a few seasons ago, Guardiola scolded English midfielder Foden for something that happened on the pitch and it carried all the way into the dressing room.

James Ducker explained how it all played out in his recent article for The Telegraph, noting that it began when the club's manager was unhappy with his player for not doing what he wanted from a free kick.

Guardiola screamed at Foden: “F***ing hell Phil! F***ing hell! You haven’t done what I said!”

Unhappy with how he'd been spoken to, however, the 23-year-old wasn't able to let his anger go and after the full-time whistle, he lashed out.

Confronting his manager in the dressing room, Foden eventually fired back: “Don’t ever do that to me again! You wouldn’t do that to other players.”

While some managers may have doubled down and even punished a player for having the nerve to talk back at them in such a way, Guardiola conceded that he had been in the wrong.

Manchester City's Phil Foden and Pep Guardiola

The former Barcelona coach apologised profusely in person, and then called a full team meeting to say sorry to Foden in front of the entire squad before paying a self-imposed fine into the players’ kitty, which was supposedly a "widely admired" gesture.

Journalist Ducker explained how this "X-rated row" actually played a key role as a "turning point" in the youngster's City career, as Guardiola "loved the sight of Foden putting his foot down and viewed it as a significant example of this boy slowly but surely becoming a man" having previously hoped to see the player stand up for himself more.

How many trophies has Phil Foden won?

As it happened, that season – the 2020/21 campaign – turned out to be Foden's breakthrough as he truly established himself as a first-team regular.

The Englishman played 50 times for Man City across all competitions, scoring 16 goals and netting ten assists. The English outfit also did a domestic double that season as they won the Premier League and the League Cup.

In total, Foden has won 12 major trophies across the entirety of his relatively short career so far, having also lifted the FA Cup and the Champions League on top of the aforementioned league and cup lifts. On top of that, he has also won the Community Shield twice and the u17 World Cup with England (though those do not count as major trophies).

No doubt the player will be hoping to add more to his collection in the upcoming season which begins on Friday night with his side taking a trip to Burnley for the opening Premier League game of the 2023/24 season.

Cummins to skip India T20Is

The fast bowler will return home after the fifth ODI in Nagpur, as Australia eye his workload and preparations for the Sheffield Shield and the subsequent home Ashes

ESPNcricinfo staff22-Sep-20172:18

Tait: Tye, Faulkner good options to replace Cummins

With a few of their key fast bowlers nursing injuries in the run-up to the home summer, Australia have decided to rest Pat Cummins from the T20I series against India with an eye on his workload management in the build-up to the Ashes. The fast bowler is not carrying an injury but will return home after the fifth ODI in Nagpur on October 1 to “refresh, both mentally and physically” before the start of the Sheffield Shield season.”Pat has played a considerable amount of cricket this year after a long period away from the game due to injury,” national selector Trevor Hohns said in a statement.”His body has handled the return to international cricket well, but we believe the best plan for him ahead of the Ashes Series is to return home to refresh, both mentally and physically, before he prepares for Sheffield Shield cricket.”Cummins’ main focus will be on preparations for the Sheffield Shield, which gets underway on October 26, but he could play for New South Wales in the later stages of the JLT One Day Cup, if they make it to the finals on October 19 and 21. A replacement for Cummins in Australia’s T20I squad will be named at a later date.Cummins’ fitness struggles since his Test debut in November 2011 had forced Australia’s selectors to take a long-term view regarding his workload in Tests and first-class matches, although he was picked in limited-overs squads subsequently. He made a comeback in December last year – after missing the 2015-16 season due to a stress fracture to the back – and has since played 22 of Australia’s 27 international matches across formats, and also featured in the IPL.In March, he was called up as Mitchell Starc’s replacement for the final two Tests against India – after Starc suffered a stress fracture to his foot – and made a Test comeback after a gap of more than five years in Ranchi. He also led the pace-bowling duties in the Tests in Bangladesh, following Josh Hazlewood’s injury in Dhaka, and ended up bowling 63 overs in the two-match series, the second-most for Australia after offspinner Nathan Lyon.David Saker, Australia’s bowling coach, had last week stated that Cummins’ workload would be assessed on a game-by-game basis.”At this stage we’re planning for him to play all the games,” Saker had said. “We’ll look at [resting him], it’s obviously been brought up between all of us. We know that his workloads are up there, but we know it’s an important series. It’s Australia v India, you don’t get any bigger than that. He’s really determined to play well over here. It’ll be game-by-game basis, we’ll play it by ear.”Hazlewood is still recuperating from a side strain he suffered in Dhaka, while Starc is in the final stages of recovery from the foot injury. There is a likelihood, however, that Starc, and injured quick James Pattinson, could play in the later stages of the JLT One Day Cup, although the hope is they will be fit to take part in the Sheffield Shield matches before the first Ashes Test, which starts from November 23 in Brisbane.

محمود الخطيب: العامري فاروق كان نموذجًا للإخلاص.. وأثره سيظل باقيًا

تحدث محمود الخطيب رئيس مجلس إدارة النادي الأهلي عن الراحل العامري فاروق خلال مراسم تأبين وزير الرياضة الأسبق المقام حاليًا داخل أروقة القلعة الحمراء. 

وكان العامري فاروق نائب رئيس مجلس إدارة النادي الأهلي قد وافته المنية في السادس والعشرين من شهر يناير الماضي.

وتعرض العامري لوعكة صحية داخل المبنى الإداري بمقر النادي الأهلي قبل أسابيع من وفاته، نقل على إثرها إلى المستشفى ليظل فترة في العناية المركزة قبل أن تنتقل روحه إلى الرفيق الأعلى.

وأزاح مجلس إدارة النادي الأهلي الستار عن تمثال الوزير العامري فاروق نائب رئيس النادي، وكذلك تم إطلاق اسمه على المبنى الإداري بمقر النادي بالجزيرة.

وقال الخطيب في تصريحات خلاص مراسم التأبين، إن الراحل الوزير العامري فاروق كان نموذجًا ‏للإخلاص والتفاني في خدمة الأهلي، وإن الله توفاه وهو على مكتبه يعمل بالنادي ويؤدي واجبه ومهامه التي يقدمها بدون مقابل وحبًّا في الكيان، لذلك كان يستحق تقديرًا من نوع خاص.

نجل العامري فاروق: لن ندخر جهدًا لخدمة الأهلي.. وأشرف صبحي يؤكد: كان مثالًا للتفاني

وأضاف أن العامري فاروق ترك أثرًا كبيرًا بما تحلى به من قيم ستبقى خالدة عبر الزمن، وأن هناك أجيالًا عديدة تعاقبت على النادي وأن الجميع إلى زوال ولكن يبقى الأهلي، وهو ما يحمل الكل مسئولية العمل بإخلاص لرفعة الكيان الكبير، وشدد على ضرورة توصيل رسالة إلى الأجيال القادمة لكي تستمر في العمل في هذا الإطار.

وأشار إلى أن العلاقة التي جمعتهما على مدار سنوات طويلة كانت شاهدة على إخلاصه للنادي وتفكيره المستمر في مصلحة الأهلي.

Irritado, Geninho cobra 'veteranos' do Avaí

A semana vai terminar amarga para o torcedor do Avaí. Após o revés diante do Paraná, a equipe do técnico Geninho foi novamente superada na Série B. Desta vez o algoz foi o Botafogo-SP, que levou a melhor dentro da Ressacada.

Sincero, o comandante do Leão não buscou desculpas para defender o grupo. Na visão do técnico, a derrota ficou barata pelo que o Avaí apresentou ao longo dos 90 minutos.

‘Não vínhamos fazendo partidas perfeitas, mas também nada igual a essa. Deixamos buracos para o Botafogo-SP sair em velocidade no contra-ataque. Eles chegaram na cara do Frigeri. O placar ficou barato. O primeiro tempo terminar daquele jeito, eles tiveram três ou quatro chances’, afirmou.

Em outro trecho da coletiva, o Geninho criticou os atletas mais experientes do elenco e exige que eles assumam as responsabilidades dentro campo.

‘Poderíamos ter várias lideranças. O jogador mais rodado precisa chamar a responsabilidade. Não posso querer que Jonathan ou Tucão resolvam. Nenhum deles (experientes) assumiu, ainda. Não vejo uma grande liderança’, disparou.

Agora, o Avaí volta a campo no próximo sábado, quando recebe o Cuiabá, na Ressacada, a partir das 11h (Horário de Brasília).

Reporter stunned after hearing who could transfer to Spurs after Kane

Tottenham Hotspur are targeting a surprise move for one of Europe's most clinical finishers this window, though Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor is finding it hard to wrap his 'head around' their latest swoop.

So, who is the genuine target for Tottenham Hotspur?

According to A Bola via Sport Witness, Harry Kane leaving Tottenham has led the Lilywhites to hedge their 'betting heavily' on bringing in Porto striker Mehdi Taremi to strengthen their frontline.

Superagent Jorge Mendes, who represents clients on behalf of Gestifute, is chairing talks over the deal and aided Spurs in submitting an initial €24 million bid for Taremi that was rejected, with Porto demanding a fee of €30 million (£26 million) to sanction the Iran international's departure.

Taremi is something of a late bloomer at the elite level and only joined Porto in 2020; however, he has become an extremely prolific figure for the Portuguese giants, registering 80 goals and 49 assists in 148 appearances in all competitions for his current employers, as per Transfermarkt.

Gent striker Gift Orban has been explored as another target in the forward areas that Ange Postecoglou could look to recruit in N17 and conversations have already occurred between the player and the club, as per 90min.

Nottingham Forest attacker Brennan Johnson has been identified as a prospective Kane successor and could cost up to £50 million, according to The Daily Mail. Conversely, Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri claims that Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani has been billed as a 'priority' pursuit for Spurs to make advances towards.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Daily Express journalist Taylor is shocked that Porto ace Taremi is someone Tottenham are keen to acquire this summer.

Taylor stated: “But there’s a bit of a domino effect, really, because I don't see Tottenham moving for forwards if Kane stays. But if he goes, I think they're going to rip up the script.

“I don't see them bringing in one striker like Randal Kolo Muani to replace him.

“It seems like there's going to be multiple positions signed. Players like Brennan Johnson and Gift Orban are being targeted.

“Also players like Mehdi Taremi, which I find quite hard to wrap my head around really.”

What else could occur at Tottenham Hotspur between now and the close of play?

Tottenham could be set for some interesting developments between now and the end of the window as Postecoglou looks to bolster his squad in the final few weeks of market activity.

In what would be a sensational turn of events, Spurs could consider making a shock swoop to try and land Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku to help plug the void left by England international Kane, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Romelu Lukaku

Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze is being monitored by the Lilywhites and further emphasis has been placed on tracking the 25-year-old amid Bryan Gil's recent injury concerns, according to Football London.

Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba is in the sights of Tottenham this window; however, Newcastle United are ready to hijack their rivals to try and acquire the Burkina Faso international, who could cost in the region of £50 million, according to Football Insider.

محمد صلاح يرفض مشاركة لاعب الزمالك أمام نهضة بركان.. ونصيحة لـ جوميز

وجه محمد صلاح مدرب الزمالك الأسبق رسالة تحذير للاعبي القلعة البيضاء قبل المباراة المرتقبة أمام نهضة بركان والتي تجمع بينهما ضمن منافسات بطولة كأس الكونفدرالية.

ومن المقرر أن يلتقي الزمالك مع نهضة بركان في ذهاب نهائي الكونفدرالية، بالمواجهة المقررة مساء يوم الأحد المقبل، الموافق 12 مايو الجاري على ملعب بركان البلدي.

وقال محمد صلاح في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “etc”: “هناك بعض الاستفزازات ستحدث من اللاعبين والجماهير المغربية، ويجب عدم الانسياق وراء ذلك”.

وأكمل: “الأهم أن يبدأ الزمالك بتشكيل صحيح، ويلعب إبراهيما نداي مكان مصطفى شلبي، الأمر الثاني أن يعي اللاعبون أنهم يلعبوا لنادي بطولات، والنادي وفر لهم كل شيء”.

وأردف: “الكونفدرالية ستحسم في المغرب وليس في القاهرة، وعلى لاعبي الزمالك أن يُحاولوا تسجيل هدف ولا يستقبلون، غير ذلك سيكونون في خطر بالقاهرة”.

وأوضح: “لو الزمالك تحكم في وسط الملعب سيحقق الفوز هناك، وطريقة جوميز واللعب بـ سامسون أمام نهضة بركان ليس صحيح”.

وأتم: “لأن دريمز أقل كثيرًا في المستوى من نهضة بركان، وإن شاء الله الزمالك سيعود بنتيجة إيجابية من المغرب”.

Ashwin among wickets but Andhra wrest lead

A round-up of the second day of Ranji Trophy games from Group C

ESPNcricinfo staff07-Oct-2017

R Ashwin tested both edges of the bat•Sivaraman Kitta

R Ashwin, and Tamil Nadu pace-bowlers, Lakshminarayanan Vignesh and Krishnamoorthy Vignesh, took two wickets each to keep Andhra in check on the second day in Chennai.

Ashwin then accounted for senior batsmen Y Venugopal Rao and Srikar Bharat in successive overs to boost Tamil Nadu’s hopes of a lead after they were bowled out for 176 on the opening day.Hebbar and Sumanth, however, rallied. The pair added 116 runs for the sixth wicket before Sumanth retired hurt on 44. Hebbar contributed 64, more than half of those runs coming through boundaries – he hit eight fours and a six – and he fell after Andhra had secured the lead. Sumanth, playing his first match since October 2015, returned to bat after Andhra were seven down and stretched the lead past 50. He was unbeaten on 72 off 193 balls with four fours.Shubham Sharma’s career-best 196 and his 197-run sixth-wicket partnership with Ankit Sharma (104 off 200 balls) powered Madhya Pradesh to 551 for 8 declared against Baroda in Indore.Resuming from his overnight score of 88, Shubham raced to his 150 soon after lunch, taking Madhya Pradesh to 400, while Ankit worked his way to a maiden first-class century.

Everton Could Sign £22m Star Who Plays Like Ivan Toney

Everton still need to sign an established centre-forward this month despite making several moves throughout the summer transfer window, with the 2023/24 Premier League opener illuminating the issue.

Sean Dyche's side lost 1-0 at Goodison Park to Fulham despite taking 19 shots to the Cottager's nine, having finished last season's Premier League edition as the second-lowest goalscorers.

Arnaut Danjuma, Youssef Chermiti and Jack Harrison have all been signed to bolster the attacking ranks, but it would be a move of great prudence to land a proven and consistent goalscorer.

As such, perhaps it's now the perfect time to act on rumours of interest in Udinese talisman Beto, and ensure that the coming months provide for fruitful fortunes for the Merseyside outfit.

Is Beto joining Everton?

According to Il Messaggero Veneto (via Sport Witness), the Toffees are 'back in the mix' after failing to sign Portuguese striker Beto in January.

It is believed that Everton have offered the Serie A side a loan deal for the 25-year-old with a buy option of €26m (£22m), though with divisional rivals Nottingham Forest also mulling over a move, Dyche will need to act swiftly.

How good is Beto?

Once praised for his imposing and energetic presence in the offensive third by journalist Sam Tighe, who said he has an uncanny ability to "spook defenders", Beto would bring a new element to the Everton attack.

Beto has reached double digits across each of his past four league campaigns, plundering 22 goals in Serie A across the past two seasons.

Indeed, last term, Beto scored ten goals in Serie A despite starting just 23 times, while he opened his account this term with a goal and assist apiece in the Coppa Italia.

beto-everton-transfer-news-opinion-premier-league

He is also a dogged contributor to the defensive side of the game, ranking among the top 25% of forwards across Europe's top five leagues for interceptions and the top 11% for clearances per 90, as per FBref, while also utilising his physicality to beat his man – ranking among the top 17% for successful take-ons per 90.

It is this robust skill set that has left the statistics-led site drawing comparisons to Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who has captured the awe of English football over the past several years following a tremendous 31-goal campaign in 2020/21 as the Bees soared into the top-flight before posting 12-goal and 20-goal tallies across his two years in the English top-flight.

Toney was suspended from all football-related activity by the FA in May after breaching betting rules, with his ban running until January.

The one-cap England international, like his Portuguese counterpart, does not shirk away from his defensive duties and ranks among the top 13% of positional peers for interceptions, the top 16% for clearances and the top 20% for aerials won per 90.

Heralded for his "quality" and intelligence by journalist Josh Bunting, Beto has demonstrated his worth as a steady goalscorer and, given the all-encompassing approach to his game and his natural ability to find the back of the net, he may well emulate Toney's impact and finally provide Everton with an exciting attacking outlet.
