فيديو | كلوب يعلن انسحاب ليفربول من المنافسة على لقب الدوري الانجليزي

أكد يورجن كلوب المدير الفني لفريق ليفربول، أنه خارج سباق الفوز ببطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز هذا الموسم، بعد البداية السيئة للريدز.

ليفربول تلقى هزيمة جديدة أمام آرسنال اليوم في الدوري الإنجليزي، وتوقف رصيده عند 10 نقاط في المركز العاشر، قبل مواجهة مانشستر سيتي القادمة في الجولة 11 من البريميرليج.

وقال كلوب في تصريحات بعد المباراة، لكل من شبكة “سكاي” البريطانية،  “بي إن سبورت” القطرية، و”ESPN” الأمريكية: “الدوري الإنجليزي ليس مشكلتنا في الوقت الحالي، لدينا مشاكل أخرى”.

وأضاف ضاحكًا: “علينا أن نجد طريقة للفوز بالمباريات باستمرار من أجل استعادة الثقة، بينما اللقب ليس في حساباتنا الآن، لسنا في سباق اللقب من الأساس”.

وواصل: “ليس علينا أن ننظر إلى الترتيب الآن، نريد أن نعرف أين نحن دون أن ننظر، نعلم أن المشكلة تكمن في النقاط بالتأكيد، علينا أن نحققها لأننا نفقد نقاطًا كثيرة من بداية الموسم”.

وتحدث عن مباراة آرسنال: “أسوأ ما حدث هو استقبالنا هدفًا في بداية المباراة على عكس ما أردنا، كان يجب أن ندافع بشكل أفضل من البداية”.

وأردف بالحديث عن إصابتي لويس دياز وأرنولد: “إصابتان جسيمتان لنا، لويس إصابته ليست جيدة، وأرنولد أجبر على الخروج بسبب مشاكل في الكاحل”.

واختتم: “انتهت المباراة الآن، وفعلنا الكثير من الأشياء الجيدة، علينا العمل والتفكير في الإيجابيات، هذا هو ما سنفكر فيه الآن”.

Leeds eye record-breaking transfer swoop

Leeds United will need to pay a club-record fee if they are to secure Ben Brereton Diaz this month…

What’s the word?

That’s according to TEAMtalk, who claim that Blackburn Rovers want to see more than £30m before they would even consider selling their leading talisman.

The 22-year-old only has six months to run on his current contract but it’s believed the Lancashire outfit have an option to trigger a one-year extension.

Several teams have enquired over the possibility of signing the Chile international before the January 31st deadline, including the Yorkshire giants, West Ham United, Brighton and Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

United paid a record £30m to Manchester United for Daniel James in the summer. Meanwhile, only three players have commanded a larger fee when transferring out of the Championship – Nathan Ake (£41m), Ollie Watkins (£33m) and Moussa Sissoko (£30m).

Bielsa needs him

Given the fact that Rovers can keep him until the summer of 2023 without any fuss, it seems likely that Leeds will need to spend big bucks to land a player that Bielsa is noted to be really keen on.

And ultimately, he’s someone that the Argentinian head coach badly needs.

As we’ve seen throughout the bulk of the 2021/22 campaign, Bielsa and his squad have sorely missed top goalscorer Patrick Bamford, with the England international regularly facing time on the sideline through injury.

Only five other teams in the Premier League have scored fewer goals than United this season and no player aside from Raphina (eight) has found the net more than twice.

Diaz, meanwhile, is having a standout and breakthrough year for Blackburn. He has bagged a whopping 20 goals in just 25 appearances in the Championship this campaign, adding to his seven goals and five assists last term.

As a result of his fine form, the 6 foot 1 frontman has been dubbed a “goal machine” by The Sun journalist Alan Nixon, whilst his manager Tony Mowbray has regularly waxed lyrical about his star at Ewood Park.

“Brereton with the ball at his feet is an extraordinary talent,” he once told reporters (via LancsLive). “He’s a wonderful footballer who can dribble with both feet, take people out of the game.”

In another interview, this time with the club’s official website, he said: “Brereton’s like a beast now, and he can score goals. I see it every day in training. He’s a brilliant lad and all our lads absolutely love him.”

On the above evidence, it could be a wise and shrewd investment, even if it’ll cost chairman Andrea Radrizzani another club-record fee

AND in other news, Orta could save Bielsa millions with Leeds’ rarely-seen £8.4k-p/w “runaway train”…

Newcastle transfer news on Ekitike

Graeme Bailey has revealed that Eddie Howe is now personally pushing to sign Hugo Ekitike for Newcastle United.

The Lowdown: Progressing…

Newcastle’s January business has started in impressive fashion, securing deals for two experienced internationals in the shape of Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood, but there are still over two weeks left to make more additions.

Bailey reported earlier this week that the St. James’ Park faithful are in ‘advanced talks’ to sign Ekitike, and even with the arrival of Wood it seems like the Magpies will push ahead for a deal.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) consortium clearly feel the impact of the injury to Callum Wilson cannot be offset by just one arrival, and the latest update on the Reims forward sounds extremely promising.

The Latest: Howe wants him

As per Bailey, Howe is now pushing to sign Ekitike, and ideally wanted him to be signed before they play Watford at home in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon:

“Told that Eddie Howe is pushing Newcastle hard to get the deal for Reims highly-rated forward Hugo Ekitike done.

“Howe wants the teenager to be signed in time to feature against Watford on Saturday along with Chris Wood.”

The Verdict: Get it done

Ekitike would now not be registered in time to face the Hornets even if talks progress quickly, as the top flight game-week kicks off on Friday night when Brighton take on Crystal Palace.

That said, the North East club can still sign him in time for when they play Leeds United away from home next week, another big game at the bottom of the table.

With Wilson still out injured, Ekitike and Wood should be able to provide sufficient cover for him until he gets back, and the former is perhaps more of a signing for the long-term anyway.

Bailey has claimed himself that Ekitike is an ‘outstanding talent’, and cited that many people in French football believe that he could be the ‘next Mbappe’.

High praise indeed for the 19-year-old, who seems to have the world at his feet.

Nonetheless, with Wood offering the immediate injection of top-flight experience, Ekitike could be signed with less risk and pressure, and he certainly could be an exciting player to watch for the Toon Army, having bagged eight goals in just ten Ligue 1 starts this term.

The coach Mark Greatbatch has called on New Zealand’s batsmen to be more consistent and ruthless so they can challenge Australia. Greatbatch doesn’t think his side has gone backwards during the Chappell-Hadlee Series defeat, but he wants more runs from his order starting with the final ODI in Wellington on Saturday.”Hopefully you see fight in the players across the board,” he said. “Yes, our batting is not consistent enough and needs to be more ruthless. When guys get in they need to finish the job, and they know that.”Australia have registered one hundred and seven half-centuries during the first four games while the hosts have managed four fifties, including two to Ross Taylor. “It’s pretty tough to win a series with numbers like that,” Greatbatch said. “There’s definitely some improvement needed.”Greatbatch said the issue had been spoken about and it was up to the players to make the changes. “The individual needs to take personal responsibility to be better,” he said. “Whoever it is, if he’s on 50 he needs to get 80 or 100. If it’s the fifth bowler, he goes for 40 instead of 60.”Nathan Hauritz, the offspinner, said Australia would be chasing another victory to finish off the limited-overs leg of the tour. “We’ve copped a fair bit of stick since we have been out here,” he said, “so the boys would be pretty keen to wrap it up 4-1.”

England’s newest pace prospect Steven Finn took a stunning career-best 9for 37 to spearhead Middlesex’s spirited fightback against Worcestershire in theDivision Two game at New Road. The 21-year-old, who made his Test debut against Bangladesh at Chittagong in March, was again in brutal form to hoist his staggering match haul to 14 for 106.Finn’s performance eclipsed a fine display of pace bowling by Worcestershire’sRichard Jones, who claimed 6 for 37 to dismiss Middlesex for 126 off 49.2overs in reply to the hosts’ 287. New Road skipper Vikram Solanki chose not to enforce the follow-on, but rapidly found Finn far too hot to handle.He sliced through Worcestershire’s shell-shocked line-up to demolish them for119 and leave Middlesex a victory target of 281. By the close of a dramatic wicket-tumbling second day they were 12 for 1, with England captain Andrew Strauss unbeaten on 10.Earlier, the visitors had found themselves in all sorts of bother against Jones, who was handed a place in the England performance programme during the winter when he attended a training camp in South Africa.The benefits paid off handsomely as Jones confidently improved on his previousbest figures of 6 for 100 against Warwickshire at Edgbaston last September. He soon set to work on Middlesex who slumped to 47 for five after resuming on 12 for 1 in reply to Worcestershire’s 287.Former Under-19 international Jones, who removed Strauss the previous evening for a single, struck with his fifth delivery to bowl night-watchman Iain O’Brien. Scott Newman soon followed when he became debutant seamer Alan Richardson’s first victim for Worcestershire following his move from Middlesex.Jones then struck again by tempting Dawid Malan into leaving a straight delivery which resulted in him being cleaned bowled. Worse was to follow for the shaky visitors when a mix-up led to Adam London being smartly run out by Alexei Kervezee.Sam Robson, who top-scored with 32, was splendidly caught and bowled by Chris Whelan to leave Middlesex stumbling on 91 for 6 off 36 overs at lunch. Their troubles continued shortly after the interval when John Simpson was trapped lbw by Jones before Richardson had Shaun Udal snapped up by Kervezee at short leg.Impressive Jones then polished off Middlesex 12 runs short of their follow-on target by ripping out Tim Murtagh and Finn, who quickly started to unsettle Worcestershire when they began building on their 161 first-innings lead.Firstly, he accounted for Daryl Mitchell and then removed Solanki and Moeen Ali in successive deliveries. Phil Jaques and Kervezee steadied matters, however, with a 55-run partnership spanning 14 overs. It ended when Australian Jaques fell to O’Brien for 41.Lethal Finn returned to oust Ben Smith and Kervezee to complete the firs 10-wicket match haul of his career before adding Ben Scott, Jones, Whelan and Gareth Andrew to his memorable collection.

Com Dorival, São Paulo vira favorito para ter Gabigol por empréstimo

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Paulo já tem a informação de que é o favorito para ficar com Gabigol. O atacante de 21 anos, que pertence à Inter de Milão e está emprestado ao Benfica, recebeu consultas de outros clubes brasileiros, mas Dorival Júnior tem participado ativamente na negociação para que ele atue no Tricolor em 2018.

A notícia foi dada pelo Globo Esporte e confirmada pelo LANCE!O treinador do São Paulo tem conversado com Gabigol para mostrar que, com ele, o atacante pode recuperar seu futebol. Ambos trabalharam juntos no Santos, com o jogador alcançando o desempenho que o levou à Seleção Brasileira e a conquistar o ouro olímpico no Rio de Janeiro, em 2016.

O estafe do atleta tem trabalhado a ideia de que sua volta para o Brasil seria um bom caminho para ele se reencontrar. Neste sentido, os planos de Dorival Júnior podem se encaixar perfeitamente no plano de recuperação de Gabigol depois de um ano e meio pouco entrando em campo.

A tendência é de que o atacante seja emprestado por um ano, com o São Paulo pagando parte dos seus salários. A negociação tem sido feita diretamente com a Inter de Milão, dona de seus direitos econômicos e insatisfeita por ver o Benfica pouco utilizando o jogador.

A Inter de Milão pagou 29,5 milhões de euros (quase R$ 100 milhões na época) para levá-lo à Itália logo após a conquista do ouro na Olimpíada de 2016, mas pouco o aproveitou:dez jogos e um gol. Na metade deste ano, ele foi emprestado ao Benfica, na expectativa de que ganhasse experiência e confiança, mas atuou só em cinco partidas e balançou as redes apenas uma vez.

Promovido ao profissional do Santos em 2013, Gabriel fez 57 gols em 156 jogos, sendo campeão paulista em 2015 e 2016 e vice-campeão da Copa do Brasil de 2015. Foi para a Europa logo depois de conquistar a inédita medalha de ouro olímpica no Rio de Janeiro, no meio do ano passado.

United fans react to Rudiger report

A deal for Antonio Rudiger would cost Manchester United €55million (£46million), according to a report from Marca’s Mario Cortegana. 

Rudiger’s Chelsea contract expires at the end of the season, so that sum comprises his salary and bonuses.

The German’s representatives are apparently holding ‘meetings and calls’ with various suitors.

Rudiger was said to be ‘upset’ with Chelsea’s renewal offer in the summer, but talks at Stamford Bridge have now resumed, and ‘with a much greater harmony’. The 28-year-old has plenty of options elsewhere however, including United.

Significantly, Ralf Rangnick enjoys ‘a good relationship’ with the player’s agent, according to this latest update.

Who else could sign Rudiger?

Also in the frame are Italian giants Juventus and Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain.

Bayern Munich could make a move, depending on what happens with Nicklas Sule, and there’s been contact with Real Madrid too.

The defender has shone under Thomas Tuchel, earning a place in the UEFA Champions League Squad of the Season for 2020/21 after Chelsea beat Manchester City in the final.

Fan feed Utd Report relayed Cortegana’s claim, and here’s what supporters made of it.
