Pearce makes big LFC front-three claim

A new deal for Mohamed Salah could affect Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino’s Liverpool futures, according to journalist James Pearce.

The Lowdown: Salah’s future still up in the air

The Reds were simply incredible in their 5-0 win away to Manchester United on Sunday, with Salah scoring a hat-trick to further add to his place in legend.

The Egyptian King is still yet to sign a new contract with Liverpool, which is causing some concern, considering his status as arguably the world’s best player at the moment.

The Latest: Pearce makes big claim

Speaking in a Q&A for The Athletic before Sunday’s game, Pearce claimed that a massive deal for Salah could have a knock-on effect for Mane and Firmino, in terms of one potentially leaving.

In response to a query from one fan on the situation, the journalist replied: “Yes I’d say the outcome of the contract talks with Salah will have an impact on what happens with Mane and Firmino. I would be surprised if all three get new deals. Salah clearly the priority currently.”

The Verdict: Salah HAS to sign

Keeping Mane and Firmino is clearly important for Liverpool, but Salah is the man they must tie down, even if it means bad news for one of the others eventually.

He is becoming an all-time Reds great before our very eyes, currently enjoying an outstanding season and making himself one of the club’s greatest-ever goalscorers, and at 29 he should still have four or five years at the very top, particularly given the way he looks after himself.

Losing Salah in his prime doesn’t bear thinking about and FSG would likely never be forgiven if they don’t give him exactly what he wants.

Contra o Flamengo, Atlético-GO pode ter Andrigo no lugar de Niltinho

MatériaMais Notícias

Após cumprir suspensão contra o Coritiba, o meia Andrigo retorna ao Atlético-GO no jogo contra o Flamengo. Inclusive, o jogador deve substituir o atacante Niltinho, que sofreu uma pancada no joelho na última partida e deve ser poupado para o confronto.

Apesar de não ter tido lesão constatada pelo departamento médico, Niltinho vem treinando separado dos outros jogadores e tem grandes chances de não entrar em campo contra o Rubro Negro como titular. O técnico João Paulo Sanches terá mais um treino antes de decidir se o jogador será vetado.

Por enquanto, o provável time que entra em campo contra o Flamengo no próximo sábado é formado por Felipe; Jonathan, Gilvan, William Alves e Bruno Pacheco; Igor, Paulinho, Andrigo, Jorginho e Diego Rosa; Walter.

Ainda na lanterna do Campeonato Brasileiro, com 15 pontos, o Atlético-GO busca uma reação no segundo turno da competição para garantir sua permanência na Série A. Atualmente, a equipe se separa do São Paulo, primeiro time fora da zona de rebaixamento, por sete pontos.

بعد كاسيميرو.. مهاجم ريال مدريد يرغب في الرحيل ويحدد وجهته

تتحول المرحلة الأخيرة من سوق الانتقالات إلى باب خروج لريال مدريد، ولن يكون كاسيميرو آخر لاعب يغادر النادي الملكي.

وغادر كاسيميرو صفوف ريال مدريد وانتقل إلى مانشستر يونايتد، وقد تم تقديمه لجماهير النادي الإنجليزي قبل الفوز على ليفربول (2-1) في البريميرليج بملعب “أولد ترافورد”.

وتوضح صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية، أن اللاعب الثاني الذي قد يغادر صفوف ريال مدريد هو المهاجم ماريانو دياز.

على عكس ما حدث في المواسم الأخيرة، فإن ماريانو منفتح على تغيير المشهد هذا الصيف.

نظرًا لقلة مشاركته في فترة ما قبل الموسم ولأن المدرب كارلو أنشيلوتي لا يبدو على استعداد تام لمنحه فرصًا هذا الموسم، فقد قرر ماريانو أن يسعى للحصول على حظه بعيدًا عن سانتياجو برنابيو.

ولكن ماريانو يريد الرحيل بشرط واحد وهو اللعب في الليجا، ولا يزال مهاجم ريال مدريد يريد الاستمرار في اللعب في إسبانيا ويمنحه الأولوية على السفر إلى الخارج.

لقد سئم ماريانو من عدم لعب دور قيادي في ريال مدريد، ولهذا يتزامن مع رغبة النادي في الفصل بين مساراتهم.

ماريانو في المواسم الثلاثة الماضية شارك في 1161 دقيقة، ويعتقد أن الوقت قد حان للبحث عن وجهة جديدة حيث يمكن أن يشعر بأنه مفيد مرة أخرى.

طوال الصيف، كانت هناك العديد من الأندية التي ارتبطت به، لكن أخيرًا لم تؤت هذه الشائعات ثمارها.

سيلتا فيجو، خيتافي، إشبيلية، رايو فاييكانو، إسبانيول… هذه بعض الفرق التي من المفترض أنها مهتمة باللاعب، لكن لم يقدم أي منها عرضًا رسميًا.

جاء ماريانو إلى ريال مدريد في أغسطس 2018 بعد تسجيله 18 هدفًا في الدوري الفرنسي مع أولمبيك ليون.

ووقع اللاعب لمدة خمسة مواسم وكلف النادي الملكي 21.45 مليون يورو، واستُخدمت عودته إلى ريال مدريد لتغطية رحيل كريستيانو إلى يوفنتوس.

ومع ذلك لم يحصل ماريانو على ثقة أي من المديرين الفنيين الذين مروا عبر ريال مدريد في هذه السنوات الأربع.

يضيف هذا النقص في الفرص صعوبة إلى الحركات التي تهدف إلى إيجاد وجهة له، ولكن لا يزال هناك متسع من الوقت قبل إغلاق السوق وهناك العديد من فرق الليجا التي لا تزال تبحث عن مهاجم.

Spurs: Conte wants Serie A "monster"

Antonio Conte has already made his transfer demands known at Tottenham Hotspur, according to emerging reports…

What’s the word?

Football Insider claims the 52-year-old boss has asked Fabio Paratici and the Spurs hierarchy to sign his former Inter Milan colossus Stefan de Vrij in January.

It’s thought that the Italian has made the Dutch international a top priority in the upcoming transfer window following early discussions with the Lilywhites sporting director.

The 29-year-old centre-back is under contract until the summer of 2023 and could command a fee in the region of £40m, with the Serie A champions somewhat strapped for cash.

The report also suggests that Conte rates de Vrij even higher than long-time Spurs target Milan Skriniar, who nearly joined the north London outfit last year and again last January.

Defensive upgrade

A move for the Inter defender could help Conte fix one of Tottenham’s longstanding problems in defence.

Aside from the inconsistent and error-prone performances from the likes of Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez, the Lilywhites have lacked a true leader at the back, perhaps since the departure of Jan Vertonghen.

“To be honest, that’s probably where it didn’t quite work out with Jose [Mourinho], we didn’t quite have enough leadership that we needed at the time,” claimed Harry Kane, via the Evening Standard, in May this year following the departure of the Portuguese.

Similarly, football.london have regularly made note of the lack of leaders within the current squad and a 23-year-old loanee from Atalanta in Cristian Romero doesn’t go to great lengths in fixing that.

Spurs’ goal difference of -7 is the joint-worst of any team outside of the relegation zone and goes to show that they are leaking goals (16) just as much as they are struggling to score them (nine), so a marquee man is needed at the back.

De Vrij, however, is a vastly experienced beast who is very much considered to be a defensive leader, having been capped 54 times by the Netherlands since August 2012 and registered nearly 200 appearances in the Italian top-flight.

The 6 foot 2 centre-back played a huge role in Inter’s triumph last term, helping them to the division’s best defensive record. He averaged an impressive 93.8% passing accuracy across 32 appearances, proving to be an excellent ball-playing defender.

He also averaged two aerial duels won and 1.3 interceptions per outing, via WhoScored, displaying his impressive intelligence and physical attributes.

De Vrij was once dubbed a “monster” by ex-Lazio teammate Mauricio, who told ESPN (via Football Italia): “Stefan is a great defender and deserves to be at a big club. He’s very tall, he’s strong and fast, he runs a lot – he’s a monster!” before later adding: “He’s a calm defender who never gets agitated.”

Transfermarkt currently value the Inter star at £45m, so it would be a considerable investment from Spurs but it’s one that could well be required if they are to change their fortunes at the back.

Conte desperately needs some leadership and there cannot be a better candidate than a player he knows better than most.

Don't rely on Bopara for the Ashes – Warne

Three Test centuries in a row from Bopara did not impress the former Australia legspinner

Three Test centuries in a row from Ravi Bopara did not impress Shane Warne, who doesn’t think the allrounder is good enough for the international arena. Bopara starred against West Indies in his previous three matches, including two hundreds at No. 3, but Warne doubts his temperament.”Bopara is a good first-class cricketer, but he is not an international cricketer,” Warne told the . “I think he’s got all the talent in the world, but I just don’t think he’s got the temperament.”He can be put off his game too easily and he’s too worried about how he looks. Let’s hope England aren’t relying on Bopara [for the Ashes] because they could be in trouble.”Warne said Kevin Pietersen, who has been struggling with an Achilles problem, and the captain Andrew Strauss would be the keys to an England success. “Paul Collingwood can be good, but he has to be batting with someone like Kevin Pietersen to bring the best out of him,” Warne said. “For England to succeed they will have to bat around Pietersen and the captain.”Australia are preparing for their first tour game in Sussex on Wednesday, which will be followed by a match against England Lions in Worcester. The first Test is in Cardiff on July 8.

Kazim admite erro e revela pedido de desculpas ao grupo: 'Sou homem'

MatériaMais Notícias

A noite para o Corinthians não foi boa, mas especialmente para um jogador ela foi pior. No dia de seu aniversário de 31 anos, o atacante Kazim teve a oportunidade de jogar no time titular pela primeira vez no Brasileirão, no lugar de Jô, suspenso. Era para ser uma partida especial, porém não foi o que ele e os corintianos esperavam.

Além de não ter conseguido balançar a rede e ter ouvido a torcida pedir Carlinhos, o turco diagnosticou o próprio erro no lance do gol do Atlético-GO, em que ele não teria acompanhado Gilvan, que subiu sozinho para cabecear. Algo que, segundo ele, não poderia ter acontecido.

– Acho que quando nosso time tomou um gol, eles se fecharam muito, jogaram os dez atrás, o goleiro deles jogou bem, eu tive um erro na hora do escanteio. Eu não posso errar nesse ponto, não tenho desculpas – lamentou.

Perguntado se a falta de ritmo teria prejudicado a sua atuação, Kazim preferiu dizer que isso não pode ser usado como motivo para os erros. Ele também admitiu que pediu perdão para os companheiros.

– Eu acho que todo jogador precisa de ritmo, isso não é desculpa. Eu tive esse erro no cruzamento, eu não poderia perder essa bola. Eu pedi desculpa para o time, para a torcida, porque é muito importante para nós continuarmos esse momento, normal seria ganhar esse jogo – comentou.

Emocionado e chateado com o resultado e com sua atuação, Kazim se viu na obrigação de pedir perdão ao elenco como um gesto de hombridade.

– Normal, um homem fala a verdade, eu errei hoje. Eu sou homem, não um menino. Quando eu erro, eu peço desculpas – finalizou.

Kazim atuou em 22 partidas pelo Corinthians nesta temporada e marcou dois gols, um contra o Vasco, na Florida Cup, e outro contra o Audax, pelo Paulistão.

O Timão volta a campo apenas no dia 10 de setembro, quando enfrenta o Santos, pela 23ª Rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Antes da decisão, Réver defende Alex Muralha: 'Tem a confiança do grupo'

MatériaMais Notícias

O Flamengo segue se preparando para o primeiro jogo da decisão da Copa do Brasil contra o Cruzeiro e nesta segunda-feira, após as atividades no Ninho do Urubu, o capitão Réver fez questão e apoiar Muralha, que na última semana foi alvo de críticas.

– Independente de ser goleiro ou outro jogador qualquer, sempre vamos defender nossos jogadores. Infelizmente aconteceu com Muralha, podia ser comigo ou outro, mas ele tem a confiança do grupo. A postura do elenco tem que ser de defender.

Réver não falou se Rueda já escolheu entre Thiago ou Muralha, mas fez questão de ressaltar a motivação que é jogar em uma decisão de Copa do Brasil.

– Quanto à escolha, Rueda vai ver a melhor opção, não cabe a nós jogadores definir a equipe. Ele já deve ter a equipe que vai jogar, todos tem a confiança do treinador e isso é muito motivante. Não tem motivação maior do que atuar na final da Copa do Brasil, vamos buscar o nosso objetivo.

Fora de campo, Flamengo e Cruzeiro estão fazendo uma campanha com a #FinaldeTimeGrande, para incentivar os torcedores dos dois clubes a interagir entre eles. O capitão apoiou a causa e pediu paz nos estádios.

– O futebol é isso pregamos paz o tempo todo e quando na verdade só vemos violência e tragédia fora dos campos. Dentro do campo tem chegada mais forte por disputar o jogo, mas a campanha tem meu apoio. Tenho família, gosto que eles estejam nos jogos e com a violência é difícil ficar tranquilo dentro de campo. O espetáculo fica completo com a paz do lado de fora

Nottingham Forest fans slam Alex Mighten

Flocking to Twitter, many Nottingham Forest supporters were left unimpressed with the performance of winger Alex Mighten despite their comfortable 3-0 win over Preston North End on Saturday.

Steve Cooper’s men have been on a solid run of form lately, having lost just once in their last 10 Championship outings, recording six victories in that time after a very lacklustre start to 2021/22.

They have been steadily climbing up the table and, after two successive draws, they sealed another win as they fired three past Preston at the City Ground. Two goals from Lewis Grabban and one from Jack Colback secured a routine three points in what was a positive afternoon for Forest and Cooper.

However, one man who didn’t impress some fans was Mighten after his largely anonymous display – especially going by his statistics.

Before being hooked off midway through the second half, the 19-year-old took fewer touches (25) than any Forest starter on the day – including goalkeeper Brice Samba with 40 (SofaScore).

Attracting criticism from some Forest fans for being a ‘weak link’, Mighten lost the majority of his ground duels and came in as the joint lowest-rated player (6.6) to start against Preston alongside Phillip Zinckernagel (SofaScore).

It’s little wonder these supporters took to Twitter to voice their criticism of the teenager given his ineffective performance.
