بوروسيا دورتموند يكشف موقف هالاند وسانشو من مواجهة إشبيلية في دوري الأبطال

يستعد بوروسيا دورتموند الألماني لمواجهة إشبيلية الإسباني مساء الثلاثاء في إياب دور الـ16 لدوري أبطال أوروبا، وهناك شكوك حول مشاركة نجمي الفريق إيرلينج هالاند وجادون سانشو.

وكان دورتموند حقق فوزًا في مباراة الذهاب بنتيجة (3-2) على ملعب رامون سانشيز بيزخوان، معقل إشبيلية.

وسيغيب جادون سانشو مهاجم بوروسيا دورتموند عن لقاء الإياب مع إشبيلية بسبب الإصابة.

وتعرض الدولي الإنجليزي لإصابة عضلية في فوز دورتموند بكأس ألمانيا على بوروسيا مونشنجلادباخ الأسبوع الماضي، وسيغيب عن الملاعب لمدة أسبوعين آخرين.

أكد مايكل زورك مدير نادي دورتموند الرياضي، بعد هزيمة فريقه 4-2 في الدوري الألماني أمام بايرن ميونخ في نهاية هذا الأسبوع.

وقال زورك في تصريحات لصحيفة “كيكر” الألمانية: “إنها خسارة كبيرة (سانشو)، خاصة بالنظر إلى اللحظة الجيدة التي يمر بها”. 

وأوضح التقرير أنه بالنسبة للنجم هالاند، سيكون جاهزًا للمباراة، رغم تعرضه للإصابة ضد بايرن ميونخ.

وسجل النرويجي هدفين في مرمى بايرن ميونخ قبل أن يتم استبداله بعد مرور ساعة، لكن المدرب إدين ترزيتش قال إنه سيكون جاهزًا للمواجهة (طالع تصريحاته).

Manchester United’s Scott McTominay backed by Romelu Lukaku

[ad_pod ]

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Pundit View series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent quotes from journalists, pundits, players and managers…

As quoted by The Scottish Sun, Romelu Lukaku has tipped Scott McTominay to become “very important” for Scotland over the coming years.

What did he say?

The Manchester United midfielder has come through the ranks at Old Trafford, and featured in Scotland’s heavy defeat to Belgium earlier this week.

Despite the result, Lukaku has thrown his backing behind his former United teammate, and insisted he can become a major part of things at international level.

He said: “If you give Steve (Clarke) time, he will get it right. He is the right man to give young players a chance and to test them. Scott McTominay can be very important for Scotland, but he is not the only one. I think you have a lot of good talents coming through.”

Improvements

Since breaking onto the scene in the 2017/2018 campaign under Jose Mourinho, McTominay has become more and more important at United. The 22-year-old appears to be nailing down a place in central midfield under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and has shown signs of making vast improvements in his development over the past few months.

His numbers this season considerably better what he averaged in the previous campaign, and this improvement represents someone who is keen on embracing the responsibility of being a key United player.

Lining up in a holding midfield role alongside Paul Pogba, McTominay has averaged 1.5 tackles and 1.8 interceptions per game in the Premier League, compared to just 0.6 and 0.9 last year.

Further forward, the academy product continues to get more involved with the play in the final third, averaging 1.5 shots and 0.8 key passes per game this season. At the end of the previous campaign, he had averaged a measly 0.9 shots and 0.1 key passes per game.

If McTominay can keep making improvements year-in and year-out, then there is no reason why he can’t be a “very important player” for both Scotland and United too.

Real Madrid dropped the ball by taking off Casemiro and Sergio Ramos

This article is part of Football FanCast’s The Chalkboard series, which provides a tactical insight into teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…

Real Madrid fans ended up going through some genuine drama this weekend when Levante were welcomed to Santiago Bernabeu.

Los Blancos did take all three points in the end but Zinedine Zidane’s decision to give Casemiro and Sergio Ramos their rest almost cost them the game on Saturday.

On the chalkboard

The clash couldn’t have started better for Real.

By the time the teams were sent to the locker room for half-time, the Galacticos were already 3-0 up and seemingly with another impressive victory in the bag. But Levante had other ideas.

In the second half, it was all about the guests and their efforts to claw their way back into the game, fighting to salvage a nigh-on miraculous point.

Even though they somehow managed to reduce the gap to 3-2, they just couldn’t muster enough strength for one final push and one final goal to get the draw on the night. Still, they were close and Real completely crumbled defensively in that second half.

And taking into consideration that Zidane decided to rest Casemiro and Ramos by taking them off early, it really isn’t that big of a surprise.

A risk worth taking?

Both Casemiro and Ramos were subbed off on the hour mark as Zidane didn’t want to risk them sustaining an injury. On paper, that’s fair enough.

It’s something the Frenchman acknowledged in his post-match press conference and looking at the players who are already sidelined for Real Madrid, it really didn’t seem worth the risk. But on the other hand, that single decision almost cost them the entire game.

Of course, the Galacticos conceded one goal before the duo were taken off but the remainder of the second half was extremely difficult for them as a whole. Five of Levante’s eight shots came after the substitution and resulted in one additional goal.

This becomes more visible when we take into account their contribution to the team prior to them leaving the pitch. Casemiro tallied two tackles, one interception and three clearances while Ramos had one tackle, one interception and two clearances.

Quite clearly, both were doing their part in the defensive phase of the game.

The decision to take them off weakened the XI significantly and even though Zidane was just playing it safe, it was still a substitution that almost lost them the three points on Saturday.

That they got over the line was more by luck than judgement.

Wolves’ birthday message to Kevin Doyle shows how far the club have come

[ad_pod ]It’s fair to say that Wolves have undergone a bit of a transformation over these past few years.The influence of Jorge Mendes has allowed the Midlands outfit to bring in some huge names over the past couple of years, and after their seventh-placed finish, it’s hard to remember where they were just a few years ago.The day before they embark on their Europa League journey, one of their former star players celebrated his birthday, and the club didn’t forget to wish him well.

Kevin Doyle was a bit of a cult hero at Wolves during his time at the club, and before Molineux was being treated to regular screamers from Ruben Neves, they had the honour of watching some tap-ins from Doyle.

This highlight reel shows just how far Wolves have come over the past few years. Not that Doyle wasn’t a solid player at that level, but Wolves now have a £30m striker up top rather than a man who scored just three goals in League One in his final season with the club.

Wolves target Martin Odegaard could be Joao Moutinho’s successor

[ad_pod ]

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Transfer Focus series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent transfer news…

According to the Mirror, Wolves are plotting a move for Real Madrid midfielder Martin Odegaard following his performances whilst on loan at league rivals Real Sociedad.

What’s the word?

We might only be entering October, but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from being in full flow this campaign.

The latest reports suggest that the west Midlands club are planning to launch an ambitious attempt to land Odegaard sometime in 2020, whether that be in January or during the summer remains to be seen.

At the age of just 16, he clinched a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid before becoming the youngest ever player to represent them.

He’s since found it difficult to break into the first team setup considering the wealth of midfield options they have at the Bernabeu, but this season he’s particularly caught the eye for Sociedad with his two goals and two assists, via WhoScored.

Odegaard has been described as an ‘exceptional talent’ by Utrecht boss Dick Advocaat while his former Stromsgodset manager said the 20-year-old reminded him ‘a little bit of Lionel Messi’.

Long-term successor

Firstly, Wolves are playing in the Europa League which is something Sociedad cannot offer.

They also clearly have some sort of relationship with Los Blancos as they were happy enough to send Jesus Vallejo to the west Midlands for the season.

If you add to that the fact that Moutinho will be 34 as next season gets underway, this move isn’t as ambitious or surprising as first thought.

Odegaard has been widely regarded as a flop over in Madrid, which is a little unfair considering the expectations and pressure that was thrown on him at such a young age, a time when he should have been sitting his school exams, not plying his trade at one of the biggest clubs in the world.

But this season, he’s shown his electric potential with a string of excellent performances for the Whites and Blues.

In their 2-0 victory over Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, the starlet ran the show – scoring a goal on top of recording three key passes, four crosses, and three successful dribbles, per WhoScored.

His creative exploits were only further emphasised against Deportivo Alaves just last week as he racked up an impressive 10 key passes in just one match, including one assist.

If Odegaard continues that level of form, then Madrid may well want to keep hold of him but should Wolves be able to clinch him, he could well be the long-term heir to Moutinho at Molineux.

The Portuguese playmaker was the source of eight assists in the Premier League last term and has averaged a minimum of 1.7 key passes per game across both seasons which only goes to show how integral he is to Wolves’ attacking dimension.

But as a 33-year-old, his time at the top-flight is likely to slowly diminish and acting early to find his replacement is rather smart business – Odegaard has shown this season how he could play in a similar forward-minded midfield role with his aforementioned performances.

يوفنتوس يدخل الصراع على ضم إيمرسون في الصيف

أفادت تقارير صحفية إيطالية، أن نادي يوفنتوس يدخل الصراع على ضم الظهير الأيسر لـ تشيلسي الإنجليزي، إيمرسون بالميري.

إيمرسون يواجه منافسة قوية مع ماركوس ألونسو وبن تشيلويل في تشيلسي تحت قيادة المدرب توماس توخيل، ويبحث عن مخرج في الصيف المقبل.

صحيفة “لاجازيتا” الإيطالية، أفادت أن يوفنتوس دخل الصراع مع إنتر ميلان لمطاردة اللاعب البالغ من العمر 26 عامًا، والذي لعب لـ روما، قبل أن يرحل في يناير 2018 للبلوز.

اللاعب البرازيلي الأصل، لعب 12 مباراة مع المنتخب الإيطالي، بعدما فضل تمثيل الأزرق، عانى من قلة المشاركة في الفترة الأخيرة.

وينتهي عقد اللاعب في يونيو 2022، وهو ما يجعل الأندية ترغب في ضمه الصيف المقبل، ورغبة تشيلسي في الاستفادة المادية من رحيله بدلًا من المغادرة مجانًا بنهاية عقده.

إيمرسون سجل هدفًا في فوز تشيلسي ضد أتلتيكو مدريد الأسبوع الماضي، وظهر مرتين في الدوري خلال 13 مباراة رسمية بمختلف المسابقات هذا الموسم.

واسترسل عضو الزمالك: “من المتوقع أن يكون دخل هذا التطبيق في العالم الحالي 40 مليون جنيه، ولم ندفع مليمًا فيه”.

Leicester City: Islam Slimani the only success story among Foxes’ exiled men

In our Loan Watch feature, the Transfer Tavern takes a look at how a selection of players from a particular club are doing whilst they are away from their home and provide a brief update regarding their progress.

We continue this section after a two-week break from our last Leicester update. The Foxes currently have Adrien Silva, Islam Slimani, Rachid Ghezzal, Fousseni Diabate and Andy King out on loan. Now, we shall be reviewing all of them over the past week apart from Ghezzal as he has not featured since joining Fiorentina on deadline day.Islam SlimaniLet’s start with the positives.In the past week, Slimani has played just the one game after sitting out their match on the weekend versus Stade Reims – a scoreless draw. However, he was back in the starting line-up against Nice and he was able to help them record their first league win of the campaign in a 3-1 win.WhoScored’s algorithm scored him a rating of 7.7 as he managed to chip in with an assist as well as five shots. So far he has played four league matches, scored three goals and created one; he leads the average rating scores on WhoScored for the squad with a rating of 7.93/10.Adrien SilvaUnlike Slimani, Adrien Silva featured in the two games for Monaco in the past week, though he only started one of them.The Portuguese defensive midfielder played 85 minutes in their 0-0 draw with Stade Reims, picking up a rating of 6.5 in the match as well as one yellow card. He seemingly had a decent game, boasting a respectable successful pass percentage of 86% as well as making 56 passes, according to WhoScored. Defensively, he only recorded one tackle out of an attempted two and was dribbled past once, so there is room for improvement.He only played two minutes in Monaco’s 3-1 win over Nice.It’s been a pretty indifferent start for Silva, with the player averaging 6.52 (WhoScored) from his first five matches – the 10th-highest in the Monaco squad.Fousseni DiabateStaying in France and Ligue 1, Fousseni Diabate has made one appearance in the last week and took to the field in Amiens’ loss to Bordeaux last night, playing 53 minutes in a 1-3 loss, where he managed just one dribble.The winger started Saturday’s match versus FC Metz at left-wing, playing 67 minutes in their 2-1 away win.WhoScored gave him a rating of 6.7 for the match, equating to a pretty average game for the recent loanee. The pacey winger could only record two dribbles out of an attempted four, so no doubt he will be looking to improve that for next week.It’s not been a good start, but it’s only been three games. He has an average rating of 6.31 in them – the 17th-highest in the Amiens squad (WhoScored).VerdictIt’s been a pretty underwhelming start for Leicester’s loanees.Slimani is obviously showing signs of the player that Leicester bought from Sporting Lisbon, however, Silva and Diabate have made pretty slow starts.It’s still early days for the loanees and they will still be adjusting both to their environments and the tactics, but they will want to start improving soon if they are going to catch the eye of their full-time employers.Foxes fans, miss any of these players?
