Man Utd fans react as Jesse Lingard linked with summer exit

It’s fair to say it’s been a difficult couple of seasons for Jesse Lingard.The England international has struggled to hit anywhere near top form for Manchester United, and this season has seen him manage just two goals and two assists in 35 games across all competitions.

Best of the Decade: Top scorers & creators – Can you name them?

World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

Reports in recent weeks and months had suggested that Spanish giants Atletico Madrid were interested in signing him this summer, and now, The Independent have offered an update on his future.

It’s suggested that Lingard has been in regular contact with both Chris Smalling and Ashley Young about what Italy is like, and that he’s “greatly tempted by a move to Serie A” – Milan are mentioned as one club that are interested.

After hearing about the news, United fans took to Twitter to share their reactions.

A couple of fans brought up Andreas Pereira’s name into the conversation, with one supporter suggesting Lingard should take him with him, and another saying that the Brazilian should leave first out of the two.

One United supporter took a more sympathetic approach, and suggested that as he is “unappreciated in England”, he should consider starting afresh elsewhere.

Judging by his woeful form, the time does feel right for Lingard to leave Old Trafford this summer.

With Bruno Fernandes also arriving in the January transfer window, there’s been a real step-up in quality in the attacking midfield position for United, and Lingard is unlikely to find a place in the starting eleven on a regular basis.

A move away could do him the world of good for his long-term career.

فيفا والدوري الإنجليزي يحاولان إقناع الحكومة البريطانية بحل أزمة القائمة الحمراء قبل أكتوبر

تعمل الجهات المسؤولة في كرة القدم على إيجاد حل لأزمة منع لاعبي الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز من الانضمام إلى منتخباتهم في الدول التي تنتمي إلى القائمة الحمراء، الخاصة بفيروس كورونا، لمنع تكرار المشكلة التي وقعت هذا الشهر.

وكانت رابطة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز قد قررت في وقت سابق منع اللاعبين من المشاركة مع منتخباتهم في فترة التوقف الدولي بشهر سبتمبر، طالما أنهم سيلعبون في دول تتواجد في القائمة الحمراء لفيروس كورونا داخل المملكة المتحدة.

وتسبب ذلك الأمر في أزمة كبيرة لأكثر من منتخب، خاصة منتخبات أمريكا الجنوبية وعلى رأسها البرازيل، التي طالبت الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم بفرض عقوبة على أندية الدوري الإنجليزي.

وتُعد مصر ضمن دول القائمة الحمراء حيث حُرم المنتخب الوطني من خدمات نجم ليفربول محمد صلاح خلال مواجهة أنجولا، ولكنها تمكنت من الاعتماد عليه أمام منتخب الجابون، نظرًا لأن تلك المباراة كانت على أرض الأخير.

وطالبت دول أمريكا الجنوبية “الفيفا” بفرض عقوبة على أندية الدوري الإنجليزي جراء منع لاعبيهم من المشاركة في التصفيات المؤهلة لبطولة كأس العالم في قطر 2022، وبالفعل قرر الاتحاد الدولي منع أولئك من اللعب في الجولة الرابعة من البطولة المحلية.

ولكن تراجع فيفا منذ قليل بعد سحب اتحادات أمريكا الجنوبية لشكواهم، ليسمح للاعبين بالمشاركة في الجولة التي ستبدأ اليوم (لمطالعة التفاصيل من هنا).

وحسب شبكة “سكاي سبورتس” العالمية، فإن الأمر لا يقتصر على هذا الحد، حيث أن هناك مفاوضات في الوقت الحالي من أجل إيجاد حل لمشكلة دول القائمة الحمراء.

وأفادت أن الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم والاتحاد الإنجليزي ورابطة البريميرليج يعملون معًا بشكل وثيق لإيجاد حل مع الحكومة البريطانية بشأن قيود الحجر الصحي على دول القائمة الحمراء، لمنع تكرار الأزمة المذكورة في شهر أكتوبر المقبل.

وسبق أن سمحت الحكومة البريطانية للاعبين والمحترفين بالحصول على استثناء من المكوث في الحجر الصحي عند دخول البلاد قدومًا من دول القائمة الحمراء، ولكنها ألغت ذلك الاستثناء مؤخرًا بسبب تفشي جائحة كورونا داخل البلاد، خاصة المتحور الحديث.

هذا، وسيواجه منتخب مصر نظيره ليبيا في القاهرة يوم 6 أكتوبر المقبل، على أن تُقام المباراة الثانية يوم 10 من الشهر نفسه في بنغازي.

وتأمل مصر حل أزمة دول القائمة الحمراء من أجل الاستفادة من خدمات النجم محمد صلاح في مباراة ليبيا الأولى، التي تأتي في إطار منافسات الجولة الثالثة من تصفيات قارة إفريقيا المؤهلة لبطولة كأس العالم في قطر 2022.

O duelo entre Palmeiras e Botafogo, pela 36ª rodada do Brasileirão, terá nova data.

O Lance! apurou que a Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) já trabalha com a nova data. A presença do Alvinegro na decisão continental deve ser confirmada na próxima quarta-feira (30), no jogo de volta das semis. Assim, o Botafogo não poderá entrar em campo pelo Campeonato Brasileiro no dia 30 de novembro, dia da final da Libertadores.

Show no Allianz Parque

A situação, no entanto, não favorece o Palmeiras. O Allianz Parque, casa palestrina e palco do confronto entre os atuais líderes do Brasileirão, receberá show do cantor Roberto Carlos em 27 de novembro, um dia após a nova data do jogo.

A expectativa, contudo, é que que não haja mudança de local, e o Alviverde mantenha o mando de campo para seu estádio. Caso seja necessário, os setores atrás do palco destinado à apresentação do Rei não devem receber público.

O Botafogo lidera o Campeonato Brasileiro após 31 rodadas, com 61 pontos somados. Por sua vez, o Palmeiras segue na cola do rival, apenas um ponto atrás, e ambos entram em campo neste sábado (26). O Glorioso visita o Bragantino, enquanto o Verdão recebe o Fortaleza.

Liverpool fans furious after Melissa Reddy’s contract update

In what may go down as one of the biggest twists of the summer transfer window, RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner is on the verge of joining Chelsea, not Liverpool.

The Germany international waxed lyrical about Jurgen Klopp and the Reds earlier this year, hailing the former as the “best coach in the world”, and that his style “might be a good fit” at Anfield.

But now, the Reds have pulled out of the race to sign him, with their Premier League rivals Chelsea reportedly agreeing a deal to lure him to Stamford Bridge.

Can you spot your Xabi Alonso from your Bruno Cheyrou? This Liverpool quiz will have you questioning your knowledge…

World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

And along with the news that Liverpool won’t be making Werner their newest signing, The Independent’s Melissa Reddy has revealed that the Merseyside club’s “priority” has been to “lock down Virgil van Dijk and Alisson for the long-term, while continuing to reward players that have delivered Champions League success and are close to ending a 30-year wait for the league title”.

After hearing Reddy’s update on why they didn’t move for Werner, Liverpool fans flooded to Twitter to voice their reactions.

A couple of Liverpool supporters couldn’t quite believe that the Reds look like they’re heading for a second consecutive summer without spending – last year only saw them bring in Sepp van den Berg for some money, with both Adrian and Andy Lonergan arriving on free transfers.

Another couple of fans felt that the whole idea that the club snubbed the chance to sign Werner in order to renew contracts, seemed to be a way of “spinning” the story, and didn’t seem to buy it.

Whilst it is true to point out the Reds have achieved considerable success over the past couple of seasons, simply avoiding refreshing the squad due to wanting to “reward” players who are already there, is just a recipe for stagnation.

Can you name every one of Liverpool’s top goalscorers in the PL era?

World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

Things are going great for Liverpool, with the Premier League title likely to be on its way very soon, but without new signings, the Reds risk standing still and just letting their rivals play catch-up.

It’s no surprise to see fans of the Merseyside club so frustrated.

اتحاد جنوب إفريقيا يُعلن رغبته في تنظيم كأس العالم للأندية 2021

أعلن اتحاد جنوب إفريقيا عن رغبته في تنظيم بطولة كأس العالم للأندية لعام 2021 بعد سحبها من اليابان بسبب تخوفها من تفشي فيروس كورونا المستجد، كوفيد 19.

واتخذ الاتحاد الياباني بالاتفاق مع الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم “فيفا” قرارًا بعدم تنظيم الحدث العالمي على أرض أحفاد الساموراي بسبب فيروس كورونا، وأكد فيفا أن سيتم اختيار البلد المنظم في وقت لاحق للبطولة التي من المفترض إقامتها في ديسمبر المقبل. (طالع التفاصيل)

وتحدث رئيس الاتحاد الجنوب إفريقي، داني جوردان، عن رغبة بلده في استضافة كأس العالم للأندية في تصريحات نقلتها مجلة “فور فور تو” في جنوب إفريقيا، وقال: “سألتقي بسكرتير عام فيفا في الأيام المقبلة حتى أعرف ما الذي سيحدث بشأن تلك البطولة”.

وتابع: “لقد أثبتنا في الماضي أننا قادرون على تنظيم تلك الأحداث الكبرى، وهذه ليست مشكلة كبيرة بالنسبة لنا ولدينا رغبة في استضافة كأس العالم للأندية”.

واختتم: “في الأسبوع الماضي، استضفنا فاطمة سامورا (سكرتير عام فيفا)، خلال مهمتها في تقصي الحقائق داخل البلاد، لقد تأثرت بفكرة استضافتنا لحدث بطولة كوسفا للسيدات في ديربان”.

Sheffield United: Chris Wilder provides update on injuries to Jack O’Connell and John Fleck

Sheffield United yesterday played their first game since the Premier League returned and managed to draw 0-0 with relegation battling Aston Villa.

However, there were two noticeable players not in the squad due to injury, and Chris Wilder has spoken about when the two might return.

Jack O’Connell and John Fleck were unavailable for yesterday’s fixture and Wilder has since detailed the length of their injuries and their possible comeback dates.

Speaking to Yorkshire Live, the Blades manager said: ‘The commitment of both players – Flecky goes in for a challenge at Hull City in the last minute and I am looking at him thinking you can’t do that, but he trains and plays in that way and that’s taken him though his period at Sheffield United.

“Jack O’Connell collided in the last minute of a session on Monday. I believe Flecky will be back for Sunday, Jack we are just waiting on.”

The news is both positive and negative for the Blades, as Fleck possibly being available to be back in the squad to face Newcastle will be a huge boost.

With O’Connell, supporters would have been worried due to the fact that he had played every Premier League fixture for the Blades before the return of football and was crucial to helping the side sit comfortably in the top half of the table.

However, after Jack Robinson’s performance yesterday in his absence, supporters may feel less worried about O’Connell’s absence, with the ex-Liverpool man providing great cover in Wednesday’s clash. He picked up a 7.7 rating from SofaScore, which was the second best in Sheffield United’s team, and made three tackles whilst winning six out of his seven aerial duels.

Hopefully the Blades can continue their good run and push for a spot in Europe as the season enters its final stretch.

Blades fans, whats your thoughts on the injury updates on Fleck and O’Connell? Comment below with your views!
