Spurs fans react to links with Newcastle star Allan Saint-Maximin

After a rather sobering 3-1 defeat to Sheffield United last time out, Tottenham fans would be forgiven for already thinking about the summer transfer window and how Jose Mourinho can strengthen the side.

And according to the latest reports, the Lilywhites are targeting one of the players of the season in the Premier League. As per The Daily Mail, Spurs are one of the several clubs interested in signing Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin this summer, and that “though they have a limited transfer kitty, they would be willing to offer players such as Danny Rose and Juan Foyth plus cash”.

After hearing about the links to the Frenchman, Spurs fans flooded to Twitter to share their reactions.

One Spurs fan admitted their excitement at potentially seeing Saint-Maximin join, but revealed that they still had other transfer priorities.

Another Spurs fan even urged the club to give Newcastle both Danny Rose and Dele Alli, and that Saint-Maximin is ten times better than the latter.

With four goals and seven assists prior to Newcastle’s Premier League clash against West Ham on Sunday afternoon, Saint-Maximin has been a revelation for the Magpies in his debut campaign for the club.

As per Whoscored, his average of 4.7 dribbles per game in the top-flight ranks him second amongst all players in the division (only Wolves’ Adama Traore with five is ahead of him), and that kind of directness is something that could add a different dimension to Spurs.

It’s no surprise that so many of the north London side’s fans are on board with this potential signing.

بايرن ميونخ يتواصل مع روديجر لضمه من تشيلسي

أفادت تقارير أن نادي بايرن ميونخ الألماني كثف جهوده للتعاقد مع أنطونيو روديجر، مدافع تشيلسي الإنجليزي.

ويتبقى لروديجر أقل من عام على عقده مع تشيلسي، والذي ينتهي آخر الموسم الجاري، ولم يصل لاتفاق للتجديد بعد.

وفقًا ل صحيفة “بيلد” الألمانية، يفضل روديجر تجديد عقده مع البلوز خلال الأسابيع المقبلة بعد مساعدة تشيلسي في التتويج بدوري أبطال أوروبا الموسم الماضي.

ومع ذلك، يدعي التقرير أن بايرن ميونخ كان على اتصال مع شقيق روديجر وممثله ساهر سينيسي بشأن انتقاله في عام 2022.

إذا فشل روديجر في الاتفاق على شروط جديدة مع تشيلسي قبل نهاية العام، فسيكون من حقه فتح مناقشات رسمية مع أي أطراف معنية.

يقوم بايرن بتقييم السوق بحثًا عن صفقات لتعزيز الدفاع، حيث من المقرر أن ينتهي عقد نيكلاس زوله في نهاية الموسم.

وكان توماس توخيل، المدير الفني لفريق تشيلسي الإنجليزي تحدث عن مستقبل روديجر، مشيرًا إلى أنه يفضل استمراره في الفريق، ويمكنك مطالعة تصريحاته من هنا.

Luisinho assume liderança de assistências na Série B do Brasileiro

MatériaMais Notícias

O meia-atacante Luisinho deu três assistências e foi decisivo na vitória por 3 a 1 do Santa Cruz sobre o Boa Esporte na noite desta terça-feira, em Varginha. O feito raro colocou o jogador no topo da lista de atletas com mais assistências na Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro. Ele soma sete na competição e está empatado com Marcelo Toscano, do América-MG.

– Três assistências em uma única partida é algo inédito na minha carreira. Estou muito feliz por novamente ajudar o Santa Cruz e tenho certeza que não vou esquecer tão cedo essa atuação. Temos que seguir com bons resultados para nossa equipe subir ainda mais na tabela – disse o jogador de 24 anos.

As outras quatro assistências de Luisinho aconteceram nas partidas contra CRB, Bahia, Macaé e Paraná. Ele também tem quatro gols em 18 partidas na competição. Dois contra o Bahia, um diante do Vitória e outro contra o América-MG.

A equipe pernambucana tem 41 pontos, quatro atrás do Bahia, que está na quarta colocação. O time volta a campo no próximo sábado, contra o Ceará, na Arena Pernambuco.

Everton set to make Steve Walsh-like mistake with Sergio Reguilon

According to Sky Sports, Everton have made an £18m bid for Real Madrid defender Sergio Reguilon.

What’s the word?

The Spaniard spent the 2019/2020 campaign on loan at fellow La Liga side Sevilla, helping them to a fourth-placed finish in the league and thus securing Champions League football for next season.

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

Sky Sports claim that with their £18m bid, Carlo Ancelotti’s side have moved ahead of at least three other Premier League clubs in the race to sign the left-back, and that although Madrid rate him highly, they need to sell players in order to help balance the books.

Shades of Steve Walsh

Before Marcel Brands joined the club, Steve Walsh was in charge of the recruitment at Goodison Park, and it’s safe to say he signed his fair share of duds.

Not least in the summer of 2017 when he spent a total of £145m, and brought in the likes of Davy Klaassen, Wayne Rooney, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Nikola Vlasic – all of whom were predominantly attacking midfielders.

Walsh’s big mistake that summer was not really addressing the issue of Romelu Lukaku’s departure, and instead overloading in a department that the Toffees were well stocked in.

A move for Reguilon this summer would have a sense of deja vu to it, with the club already boasting one of the Premier League’s better attacking left-backs in Lucas Digne.

The Frenchman has racked up an impressive five goals and 13 assists in his time at Goodison Park, and spending £18m on a position they already have a nailed on first-choice in, seems like a complete waste of money. Brands is on the verge of making an unforgivable mistake.

Reunião com familiares deu força ao Palmeiras antes da semifinal

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras começou a construir a classificação à final da Copa do Brasil horas antes do jogo contra o Fluminense. Na terça, os jogadores receberam esposas, namoradas e filhos na concentração. A ideia da diretoria era ressaltar o “espírito de vencedor” de cada um, não só como atleta.

– Quando os atletas são escolhidos para jogar no juvenil, quando vão para o profissional e quando o Palmeiras os escolhe, eles são vencedores. Quando se consegue reunir as famílias que eles constituíram, você deixa bem claro o quanto eles são vencedores. Na realidade, o espírito vencedor tem que estar próximo – explicou Cícero Souza, gerente de futebol, ao LANCE!.

Os jogadores, que desta vez tiveram a concentração antecipada para segunda à noite (em condições normais, seria na terça), foram para o Allianz Parque ainda mais dispostos a jogar pelas pessoas queridas. Um dos maiores exemplos é Fernando Prass, o herói da classificação nos pênaltis: Caio e Helena, filhos do goleiro, faziam aniversário justamente na quarta-feira.

– Minha filha me perguntou onde eu estaria no dia 28, falei que teria jogo e voltaria para dar os parabéns para ela. Tudo correu da melhor maneira possível. Não faço gol, mas eles me cobravam para defender pênalti por ter largado os dois no dia do aniversário. Minha filha fala: “Você nunca está em casa”. Quem é pai sabe como isso corta o coração. Mas eles começam a entender que fazemos isso por eles também – disse o camisa 1.

Essa não foi a primeira reunião pé-quente. Zé Roberto e Edmundo já fizeram o time “começar a vencer” antes mesmo do apito inicial neste ano (veja mais abaixo).

AS OUTRAS REUNIÕES EMBLEMÁTICAS DO ANO:

Palmeiras é grande – Antes do primeiro jogo do Paulista, Zé Roberto reuniu atletas, comissão técnica e até diretoria no vestiário e deu uma calorosa preleção. Após os berros de “o Palmeiras é grande”, o time venceu o Audax por 3 a 1.

Edmundo – O Palmeiras vivia fase instável no Brasileirão e, a pedido de Oswaldo de Oliveira, o Animal visitou o grupo na concentração antes de duelo com o Corinthians. Deu certo: vitória por 2 a 0 em Itaquera.

بايرن ميونخ يوضح إمكانية تعاقده مع أنطونيو روديجر من تشيلسي

رد المدير الرياضي لنادي بايرن ميونخ حسن صالح حميديتش على التكهنات بأن بطل الدوري الألماني قد يتخذ خطوة لصالح أنطونيو روديجر من أجل ضمه من تشيلسي.

وسينتهي العقد الحالي للمدافع الألماني مع بطل أوروبا في الصيف المقبل، دون وجود أي اتفاق بشأن تجديد عقده حتى الآن.

وذكرت تقارير صحفية في الفترة الأخيرة أن أنطونيو روديجر يحظى باهتمام العديد من الأندية الأوروبية، مثل ريال مدريد وبايرن ميونخ.

وأثنى مدرب بايرن ميونخ جوليان ناجيلسمان بالفعل على أنطونيو روديجر خلال مؤتمر صحفي، مما أدى إلى إضافة المزيد من التكهنات.

وعند سؤاله عن الأمر، قال حسن صالح حميديتش إن بايرن ميونخ لديه خيارات كافية في قلب الدفاع بالفعل.

وأوضح في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” الإنجليزية: “لا بأس عندما نتحدث عن لاعبين مع أندية أخرى، قال ناجيلسمان ذلك عنه في المؤتمر الصحفي، لكنه مدرب يرى الكثير من اللاعبين – فلماذا لا يقيم لاعبًا دوليًا ويتحدث عن نقاط قوته؟”.

وأضاف: “نحن عززنا أنفسنا جيدًا بالفعل في مركز قلب الدفاع، تعاقدنا مع أفضل لاعب، أوباميكانو، ولدينا كذلك لوكاس هيرنانديز، تانجي كواسي، وبافارد يمكن أن يلعب في هذا المركز كذلك، لدينا فريق عمل جيد للغاية”.

Leeds transfer news: Robin Koch could be a steal if no Ben White swoop

Leeds United are ramping up their efforts of clinching loan star Ben White this summer, but Victor Orta and Andrea Radrizzani can’t afford to put all their eggs in one basket which is why an alternative must be considered…

What’s the word?

According to the Telegraph’s Mike McGrath, the Yorkshire giants will turn their attention to Freiburg centre-back Robin Koch if their hopes of clinching the Brighton sensation fall through.

White is the top target this window but the club have already had two bids knocked back and could be faced with the same answer over their latest £35m offer as per The Sun (via TEAMtalk).

Now Koch has emerged as a potential plan B and with him entering the final year of his contract, he could be available on a much cheaper deal than the Seagulls man.

Forget White

As good as it will be to secure White permanently, it won’t solve all of Marcelo Bielsa’s defensive problems as currently, he only has skipper Liam Cooper at his disposal alongside some youngsters.

That’s not really ideal when you’re entering the first top-flight campaign at Elland Road in 16 years.

Which is why Koch would be a steal to consider, he’s been called up to the German national side by Joachim Lowe in the past year and has even been likened to Bayern’s Javi Martinez in playing style – “a rangy battering ram” and “enforcer” are just two words that have been used to describe him.

According to Freiburg’s head coach Christian Streich, the 24-year-old is a “warrior” and his numbers for the 19/20 campaign back that up immensely.

Per WhoScored, the centreback, who can also play in midfield, averaged 2.9 clearances, 1.4 interceptions, 1.1 tackles and 1.1 shots per game in the Bundesliga whilst also displaying his ability on the ball, managing a passing success rate of 83.7% from nearly 50 passes each outing.

German outlet Kicker (via BuLiNews) believe he could be sold for just €10m (£9m) – that’s a fraction of what Brighton are drumming up for White.

In an ideal world, they secure both but Koch won’t be a bad alternative by any means.

Everton could land the next N’Golo Kante for just £13.5m

Everton have been told how much it’ll cost to land one of their midfield targets this summer, and if reports are true, it’ll be quite the bargain…

What’s the word?

According to France Football, via GFFN, Angers SCO have rejected a €10m (£9m) bid from Unai Emery’s Villarreal for Baptise Santamaria, who has been of interest to the Toffees before.

It’s claimed that the La Liga outfit have moved on from this approach with the French side slapping a €15m (£13.5m) price tag on his head.

The Express reported in April that Everton could battle Leicester City and Spurs for his signature, so perhaps the door has now opened for that to happen.

Better than Davies

It is no secret that Carlo Ancelotti is keen on a move for his old Napoli lynchpin Allen but there’s no harm in lining up a viable alternative if that move doesn’t come to fruition.

And in Santamaria, they get not just that but a bargain too, considering £13.5m is just a fraction of the Brazilian’s reported €40m (£36m) asking price.

The Angers powerhouse has been likened to Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante due to their similar playing style and the Foxes’ interest in him.

He’s certainly been an upgrade to Ancelotti’s current options, particularly Tom Davies, as the 25-year-old averaged a whopping 3.3 tackles, 1.5 interceptions and 1.3 shots per game for the Ligue 1 outfit last season.

Davies manages two fewer tackles and half the number of shots per appearance than the uncapped Frenchman.

Santamaria is known for his consistent performances and has very rarely picked up an injury in four years at Angers too.

If Marcel Brands pulls this off, then it will very much be in a similar vein to Kante’s switch from Caen to Leicester, and in doing so, Ancelotti gets the new defensive midfielder he’s been desperately lacking.

سوندرز: لا يُمكن إيقاف محمد صلاح.. وأصبح أفضل من رونالدو وميسي

يرى المُهاجم الإنجليزي السابق، دينيسي سوندرز، لاعب ليفربول الأسبق، أن نجم الريدز الحالي، محمد صلاح، يُعد أفضل من حيث الفاعلية الهجومية من كريستيانو رونالدو نجم مانشستر يونايتد وليونيل ميسي مهاجم باريس سان جيرمان الفرنسي.

صلاح مُنذ بداية موسم 2021/2022 ظهر بشكل أكثر من رائع مع ليفربول، إذ ساهم في 10 أهداف، خلال 8 مباريات، حيث سجل ثمانية أهداف وقدم تمريرتان حاسمتان.

وقال سوندرز في تصريحات لإذاعة “TalkSPORT” البريطانية: “الآن، ونحن نتحدث، هل يمكن أن نجد أفضل من محمد صلاح؟”.

وأضاف: “ثمانية أهداف في ثماني مباريات من لاعب في الجناح الأيمن ولا يلعب في العمق، يبدو لي أنه لا يُمكن إيقافه”.

وواصل: “يوجد ميسي ورونالدو بمفردهما، لكن في الوقت الحالي ليسا بجودة صلاح”.

وبسؤاله عن اللاعب الذي يُمكن أن يختاره في تشكيله صلاح أم رونالدو، أجاب: “في الوقت الحالي، صلاح بالتأكيد”.

وأنهى تصريحاته قائلًا: “من السهل قول كريستيانو رونالدو، لكن في الوقت الحالي يبدو أن صلاح سيسجل كل أسبوع”.

Parabéns pra vo6! 'Vingança' impiedosa do Mengão faz 34 anos

MatériaMais Notícias

Foram nove anos de espera e de provocações. Até, em um 8 de novembro de 1981, a constelação formada por Zico, Júnior, Adílio, Andrade, Nunes & Cia. transformar o placar de 6 a 0 em uma partida contra o Botafogo sinônimo de muita, muita festa, e de uma “vingança” deliciosamente impiedosa.

Há 34 anos, os botafoguenses repetiram a rotina que ocorria há nove anos: levar a faixa “Nós gostamos de voseis”, e entoar cânticos em referência à goleada aplicada pelo Alvinegro em 1972. Porém, Nunes balançou a rede logo aos sete minutos, e deu o primeiro sinal de que a troca de seis por meia dúzia no placar seria favorável ao Rubro-Negro.

Zico aumentou a vantagem aos 27 minutos. Aos poucos, a goleada se desenhou, com gols de Lico, aos 33, e Adilio, aos 40, e os rubro-negros encerraram a etapa inicial sob euforia e um apelo da arquibancada:

– Seis! Seis!

O Botafogo apostou em Jairzinho (herói da goleada de 1972) na etapa final e equilibrou a partida. Porém, em meio à “dramaticidade”, o Flamengo chegou ao quinto gol aos 30 minutos, graças a um pênalti convertido por Zico.

E, diante de uma arquibancada para lá de ansiosa, Andrade sacramentou a vingança flamenguista a três minutos do fim. Com juros, correção monetária e com direito a segurar o “fantasma de 1972”.

Após aquele jogo válido pelo Terceiro Turno do Campeonato Carioca, o Rubro-Negro se preparou para um repertório de conquistas em pouquíssimos dias. Além do Terceiro Turno, a equipe alcançou o continente, com a conquista da Copa Libertadores, e foi a Tóquio para vencer o Mundial Interclubes.
