Na visão do treinador, o Timão dominou o Leão do Pici e criou as melhores chances. No entanto, a equipe acabou parando na grande atuação do goleiro João Ricardo, eleito o melhor jogador em campo.

– Foi um grande jogo da minha equipe. A partir do momento em que o goleiro adversário é eleito o melhor em campo, diz muito daquilo que foi o jogo – disse António Oliveira.

Apesar de satisfeito com o rendimento do time, António voltou a ressaltar que o Corinthians é uma equipe em formação, que enfrenta concorrentes mais estruturados, e pediu tempo para seguir com a reformulação que iniciou quando assumiu em fevereiro.

ITV confirmed earlier this month that it is in preliminary discussions to sell its broadcasting business to Sky for £1.6 billion. The talks come as the television industry faces fierce competition from the rise of streaming services such as Disney+, Prime Video and Netflix. The former platforms already own rights to show one Champions League and one La Liga match per gameweek.

Sky-ITV merger could impact how fans watch football

However, one finance expert believes the main concern should be the loss of free-to-air sport. ITV hold the rights for some England and World Cup games, and the worry is that users may one day have to pay for the opportunity to watch the national team, either in qualifiers or at major international competitions.

"The World Cup is currently locked into listed-event regulation, keeping prices relatively low because rights must remain free-to-air," finance expert Professor Rob Wilson told OLBG. "Should free-to-air erode and regulatory protections weaken, a very different market emerges. A largely exclusive World Cup becomes a quadrennial subscriber magnet with huge advertising and digital potential.

"Under those conditions UK rights might land in the £350 to £500 million range at the cautious end, rising toward £750 million to £1 billion if full exclusivity and deep digital rights are included. That would make the tournament comparable to a significant slice of Premier League value, something only possible if it moves away from the current BBC-ITV sharing model."

AdvertisementAFP'For Match of the Day, the threat is less direct but still real'

Wilson went on to add the free-to-air shows like Match of the Day may come under threat. While the BBC's weekly Premier League highlights show doesn't actively show domestic top-flight action live, it's still at risk of being unable to fulfil demand owing to potential financial constraints down the line.

"For shows like Match of the Day, the threat is less direct but still real," Wilson added. "The BBC would be facing a competitor with extraordinary reach across both pay and free platforms. That pushes up prices and makes it harder to retain highlight packages without paying more. In the long run it could shift the balance between free and paid access to top tier sport.

"A Sky and ITV combination would become the most influential force in British broadcast advertising. Buying strategies would change. Cross platform packages would grow. And the line between broadcast and streaming would blur even further as the combined business pushes its viewers into unified ecosystems."

'A Sky–ITV merger would push major football rights upward'

Furthermore, Wilson discussed the astronomical value of the UK sports market, adding: "The UK sports rights market today is roughly £3 to £3.5 billion annually, with the Premier League and Champions League forming its core.

"A Sky–ITV merger would push major football rights upward, while expanded competitions and tech-sector interest would accelerate growth. It is reasonable to see the market reaching £4.5 to £7 billion a year by the mid-2030s.

"For Amazon, Netflix, YouTube or Apple, participation is less about direct profit and more about acquiring customers. Each could justify spending £200 to £500 million annually on UK rights as a strategic foothold, with total disruption capital potentially exceeding a billion pounds a year if multiple platforms compete simultaneously."

Wilson continued: "ITV's channels would remain free to air because their public service obligations would transfer. But over time, the strategy would change. Expect more cross promotion between free and paid services, more sport moving into premium windows and more rights carved into layered offerings.

"In short, this deal would be hugely significant in the medium term. If it happens, it would reshape how rights are bought, how audiences are reached and how sport and entertainment flow between free and paid screens across the UK. It might even start an acceleration away from free to air programming as we know it."

Getty Images SportPremier League & UCL rights would increase

Wilson also discussed the potential of the costs of Premier League and Champions League rights increasing should the ITV-Sky merger come to fruition. "A combined Sky and ITV would be a powerful buyer," he added. "Sky already controls much of the premium sport in the UK and adding ITV's free to air channels gives it both reach and versatility. It could bid for major rights with more confidence, and it could spread those rights across subscription, streaming and free to air platforms in ways no other British broadcaster can match.

"Premier League rights currently sit at around £1.7 billion per season, with the Champions League adding roughly another £450 to £500 million. A combined Sky and ITV would be able to monetise rights across pay TV, streaming and free to air in a way no rival could match, reducing competitive pressure and giving them licence to bid more aggressively.

"In that environment Premier League rights could plausibly rise toward the £2 to £2.3 billion range per season in the early 2030s, while Champions League rights might move into the £600 to £750 million band. Together, the two properties could command between £2.6 and just over £3 billion per year, implying an uplift of around £0.5-£1billion on the current level."

بات منتخب مصر مرشحًا لخوض المباراة الافتتاحية لبطولة كأس العالم، نسخة 2026، التي ستنطلق الصيف المقبل، وذلك في كل من الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، كندا والمكسيك.

وتستضيف الدول الثلاثة المذكورة نهائيات بطولة كأس العالم، في الفترة بين 11 يونيو 2026 حتى 19 يوليو من الشهر نفسه.

وأعلن الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم، فيفا، تصنيف المنتخبات الـ48 المشاركة في بطولة كأس العالم، حيث يتواجد منتخب مصر في الوعاء الثالث (لمطالعة التفاصيل كاملة من هنا).

وحسبما ذكرت شبكة “ESPN” العالمية، فإن منتخب المكسيك سيفتتح منافسات بطولة كأس العالم، حيث ستُقام المباراة الافتتاحية على ملعب “أزتيكا” في مدينة مكسيكو.

وأوضحت أن المباراة الافتتاحية ستكون بين منتخب المكسيك وأحد منتخبات الوعاء الثالث، أي أن منتخب مصر قد يكون الطرف الثاني في افتتاح الحدث العالمي المرتقب.

ويضم الوعاء الثالث كل من: النرويج، بنما، مصر، الجزائر، اسكتلندا، باراجواي، تونس، ساحل العاج، أوزبكستان، قطر، المملكة العربية السعودية، جنوب إفريقيا.

ولكن لن يستطيع منتخب المكسيك مواجهة بنما، حيث تنص قوانين فيفا على عدم إمكانية مواجهة فريقين من نفس الاتحاد في دور المجموعات، باستثناء الفرق الأوروبية، مع العلم أن المكسيك وبنما ينتميان إلى كونكاكاف.

أما منتخب الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، سيبدأ مشواره في البطولة بمواجهة فريقًا من الوعاء الثالث يوم 12 يونيو (بخلاف ذلك الذي سيخوض افتتاحية البطولة نفسها).

في حين أن منتخب كندا سيواجه فريقًا من الوعاء الثالث في مباراته الثانية، يوم 18 يونيو 2026، على أن يبدأ مشواره بمواجهة خصمًا من الوعاء الرابع.

وسيتضح كل شيء خلال مراسم إجراء قرعة كأس العالم يوم الجمعة 5 ديسمبر المقبل.

Lamine Yamal believes that "special nights" are coming ahead of Barcelona's long-awaited return to Camp Nou. The teenager has become a Blaugrana sensation in recent years and he has done that while barely playing at the Catalan outfit's iconic stadium. But the countdown to being back at their hallowed home ground has very much begun, and the Spaniard is clearly very excited.

Yamal excited for Camp Nou return

In May 2023, Barcelona said goodbye to Camp Nou as the stadium began a huge redevelopment initiative. After many delays and some controversies involving workers, the giant ground is preparing for a staggered reopening later this month. The defending La Liga champions have been given the light by the local council to host around 23,000 fans when competitive games return to this venue, which has already seen 23,000 supporters watch an open training session earlier this month. Incidentally, Yamal has played just a handful of times at Camp Nou after making his first-team Barca debut in April 2023. Now, the 18-year-old has taken to social media to express his delight about playing at this famous stadium.

In an Instagram story, he wrote: "Special nights are coming," before zooming in on Camp Nou with his phone camera.

For much of the past two years, while the Camp Nou works have gone on, Barcelona have played at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, which holds upwards of 50,000 fans. Reports suggest that Barca are waiting for a 1B license to be granted to them, which will allow them to open up another stand and host 45,401 supporters at Camp Nou. Now, Barcelona executive Joan Sentelles says he is hopeful they can play at their iconic home, with its reduced capacity of under 30,000, against Athletic Club on November 22 in La Liga.

He told Esport3: "Our goal is to have it ready in time for the match against Athletic Club. As soon as we obtain the 1B license, we’ll open the Lateral Stand, which will already give us a capacity similar to the Olympic Stadium. At that point, it wouldn’t make sense to continue playing there – all our matches will be here."

Sentelles added that they hope to nearly triple their current limit by the end of 2025.

"The goal is to have the entire stadium open to 62,000 spectators before the end of the year," he revealed.

Yamal an injury concern

While it will be an emotional return to Camp Nou for Barcelona players and fans alike, there is no guarantee that Yamal will line up for this upcoming fixture. The youngster has been suffering with a groin problem known as pubalgia, something he has played through for club and country for a while now. There has been a war of words between Barca boss Hansi Flick and Spain manager Luis de la Fuente over Yamal's playing time, with the former concerned about him being overplayed. Moreover, in the past week, the Spanish Football Association (RFEF) expressed its "surprise and dismay" at seeing Yamal undergo an "invasive procedure" that led to his withdrawal from the latest La Roja squad. 

After he was released from the national squad ahead of World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Turkey, the RFEF said: "The Medical Services of the RFEF wish to express their surprise and discomfort after learning at 13:47 on Monday, November 10, the day of the start of the official training camp with the national team, that player Lamine Yamal had undergone an invasive radiofrequency procedure for the treatment of his pubic discomfort that same morning. This procedure was carried out without prior communication to the medical staff of the National Team, with knowledge of the details only through a report received at 22:40 last night, which indicated the medical recommendation of rest for 7-10 days. Given this situation, and prioritising at all times the health, safety and well-being of the player, the Royal Spanish Football Federation has made the decision to release the athlete from the current call-up. We are confident that he will recover well and wish him a speedy and full recovery."

(C)GettyImagesWhat comes next for Yamal and Barcelona?

Meanwhile, De la Fuente said Yamal was "very sad" to not take part in these games for his country.

"Lamine is sad. He’s a player deeply committed to the national team and very well-liked," he said. "He left very sad; he was looking forward to playing these matches. He wants to have a great season with his club, and he also has the Finalissima and the World Cup etched in his memory. He’s the one who suffers the most. He always wants to come. He left sad and hurt. Anyone who says otherwise is lying or has bad intentions. I spoke with him. When we received the report last night, we let him rest. We went to his room and I spoke with him. I told him it was the first news he'd heard from the national team; I don't know if he had any information about Barcelona. He was incredibly sad and hurt. He was fine when he arrived. We didn't know anything until last night."

When the international break ends, Barcelona take on Athletic Club, Chelsea, and Alaves in the space of a week to round off the month. It is hoped that Yamal will feature in those encounters despite his ongoing pubalgia issues.

West Indies coach Daren Sammy has been fined for his criticism of third umpire Adrian Holdstock during the opening Test against Australia in Barbados.Sammy was angered by two decisions, in particular, that went against West Indies on the second day: Roston Chase’s lbw, upheld by Holdstock despite a suggestion of an inside edge, and Shai Hope’s inside edge that was brilliantly caught by Alex Carey, who was ruled to have held the catch cleanly. On the first day, Holdstock adjudged a similar low catch to Hope off Travis Head as having not carried.Speaking after the second day’s play, Sammy said he had held concerns about Holdstock’s umpiring from the recent ODI series in England.Related

“You don’t want to get yourself in a situation where you’re wondering about certain umpires,” he said. “Is there something against this team? But when you see decision after decision, then it raises the question.”Sammy was found to have violated Article 2.7 of the ICC’s code of conduct, which pertains to “public criticism of, or inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in an international match or any player, player support personnel, match official or team participating in any international match”.He was fined 15% of his match fee for the level-one offence. One demerit point has also been added to Sammy’s disciplinary record, his first offence in a 24-month period.Sammy admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Javagal Srinath. Level 1 offences carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum of a 50% match fee fine, along with one or two demerit points.Captain Chase was equally critical of the decisions when he spoke after the match but there has yet to be any mention of a sanction against him.Holdstock is due to be an on-field umpire for the next two Tests in Grenada and Jamaica with the TV role split between Nitin Menon and Richard Kettleborough.

Former Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy made the bold decision to part ways with head coach Ange Postecoglou after the club won the Europa League at the end of last season.

The dismal Premier League form, which resulted in a 17th-placed finish, was enough to see the former Celtic boss lose his job, and Thomas Frank was brought in to replace him.

The Danish tactician has won five, drawn two, and lost two of his first nine matches in charge of the Lilywhites, in what has been a fairly impressive start to life in North London.

Frank will not have been happy with his side’s performance in their 1-1 draw at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out in the Premier League, though, as they needed a last-gasp equaliser from Joao Palhinha to snatch a point.

Levy backed the new head coach in the transfer market with a host of new signings, including Palhinha, before he moved on from the club after the summer transfer window.

One of the summer signings who has divided opinions among the fanbase so far this season is former West Ham United attacker Mohammed Kudus.

Why Spurs need to see more from Mohammed Kudus

The Europa League champions swooped to sign the Ghana international from their Premier League rivals for a fee of £55m in the summer, hoping to improve their attack.

There have been flashes of quality from the left-footed star early on in his Spurs career, with three assists in six Premier League matches to date.

His best moment in a Spurs shirt so far was his assist for Richarlison’s wonder goal against Burnley on the opening day of the season, with a lightning-quick change of direction to create space for a cross for the Brazilian striker.

His three assists, though, have come from one ‘big chance’ created and an xA of 1.09. This suggests that he has been slightly fortunate to have been rewarded with as many assists as he has.

Kudus’ assist against Brighton is perhaps an example of that fortune, as the winger appeared to be going for goal with a shot that fell to the feet of Richarlison, who bundled the ball in from close range.

As you can see in the table above, the £55m signing from West Ham has been incredibly wasteful in the last two matches for Spurs against Brighton and Wolves, losing the ball a staggering 49 times in 180 minutes.

To create only three chances for the team whilst losing the ball 49 times suggests that Kudus is not providing enough quality in his end product, as a dribbler or as a creator.

His lack of threat as a goalscorer is also a cause for concern. Kudus has yet to score from 1.01 xG in the Premier League for Spurs, which comes after he scored just five goals from 6.90 xG for West Ham in the 2024/25 campaign, per Sofascore.

Therefore, Tottenham and Frank need to see more from the winger on the ball and in the final third, because his current lack of goals and his wastefulness in possession are not ideal.

In The Pipeline

Football FanCast’s In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.

Spurs, though, do have a young talent emerging in their academy who could have the potential to replace the £55m signing in the mid-to-long-term.

Luca Williams-Barnett made his first-team debut for the club against Doncaster in the League Cup earlier this month at the age of just 16, and he could be a future star in North London.

Why Luca Williams-Barnett could replace Mohammed Kudus

The versatile attacker got eight minutes of senior football under his belt off the bench in that match, which shows that he is in Frank’s thoughts and has done enough at academy level to warrant a chance in the first-team.

Williams-Barnett’s form for the club at youth level has been sensational and suggests that the Lilywhites have a major talent on their hands that they need to carefully develop.

Described by analyst Ben Mattinson as “one of England’s best talents at youth level”, the 16-year-old talent has started the 2025/26 campaign with a return of six goals and four assists in all competitions, including a hat-trick for the U21s against Leicester City earlier this month.

Williams-Barnett predominantly plays through the middle as a number ten, per Transfermarkt, but he has also been deployed out wide on the left and the right during his youth career in North London.

The teenage sensation was described as a “pure talent” with “silky dribbling” by U23 scout Antonio Mango. Talent scout Jacek Kulig, meanwhile, hailed him as the figurehead of an “exciting” generation of young talents at Spurs.

Stats via Transfermarkt

It is easy to understand why talent scouts are so excited by the potential of Williams-Barnett when you look at his statistics in the table above, because he has averaged a goal or an assist every hour of football at youth level since the start of last season.

These statistics show that he provides a regular threat as both a scorer and a creator of goals for Spurs at U21 and U18 level, which earned him a first-team debut against Doncaster.

The next step for Williams-Barnett in his development is to make his Premier League debut and show that he can translate his attacking prowess to first-team level.

Given that Kudus is yet to fully convince on the right flank and that the youngster has played out wide at academy level, unleashing the 16-year-old star on the right wing could be one way to plot a pathway into the team for him.

There is no rush for that to happen this week or next month, or even this year. He only turns 17 on Wednesday and has plenty of time left ahead of him, but his impressive progression at youth level suggests that Frank has a Kudus replacement in the making.

É bem capaz que não tenham avisado a defesa do Corinthians que Lucas Moura havia voltado ao São Paulo. O jogador e o Tricolor não tiveram nada a ver com isso e aproveitaram todos os espaços dados pelos corintianos para garantir, ainda no primeiro tempo, a vitória por 2 a 0 no jogo de volta da semifinal da Copa do Brasil. O resultado colocou o clube do Morumbi de volta à final da Copa do Brasil. Lucas marcou o segundo, sendo que o primeiro foi anotado por Wellington Rato, aposta do técnico Dorival Júnior para a partida.

CINCO LANCES QUE MARCARAM A PARTIDA

> FESTA BONITA, MAS ATITUDE LAMENTÁVEL: a torcida do São Paulo fez uma linda festa na recepção ao ônibus do Tricolor, com pessoas penduradas em árvores e placas, árvores e muitas queimas de fogos. No entanto, tudo o que aconteceu na chegada do veículo que trouxe a delegação são-paulina foi manchado quando o ‘busão’ que trouxe o elenco do Corinthians chegou. Garrafas foram atiradas e depredaram vidros e parte da lataria do meio de transporte corintiano. A situação fez com que o Timão atrasasse a sua chegada ao estádio do Morumbi e, consequentemente, a bola demorou nove minutos para rolar em relação ao horário previsto para o início da partida.

>!RATO NA CORUJA! O São Paulo começou mandando no jogo, indo para cima e dominando as ações ofensivas, enquanto o Corinthians estava na base do abafa e chutão. Em um deles, Cássio saiu jogando errado, a bola sobrou com Wellington Rato que teve toda a liberdade do mundo para dominar, avançar, trazer para dentro e mandar um chute na gaveta, onde a coruja faz o ninho. E nem se três Cássios pulassem no canto direito conseguiriam defender. Brilhou a estrela do atacante e do técnico Dorival Júnior, que apostou no jogador justamente no duelo mais importante do ano, até aqui. 

>LUCAS (GOL)RA: Com passagem pela base do Corinthians, quando era Marcelinho (por conta da semelhança com o ‘pé de anjo’), mas revelado pelo São Paulo. Voltou para casa, e no seu terceiro jogo marcou o segundo gol. E em uma jogada que teve ele do começo ao fim. Rodrigo Nestor foi para o fundo e tocou para trás. Lucas tinha condição de finalizar, mas inverteu para Wellington Rato, pelo lado direito. O atacante escorou de cabeça para o meio da área, entre os zagueiros corintianos, que ficaram parados. E aí, Lucas Moura foi de novo Lucas (Gol)ra. Ou, Lucas gol lá. Lá no fundo do gol adversário. O primeiro no Morumbi em seu retorno para o berço. 

> WESLEY INCENDEIA: o garoto entrou aos 17 minutos do segundo tempo e, a partir dos 30, colocou fogo no jogo pelo lado esquerdo. Partiu dos pés dele as duas primeiras grandes chances do Timão. Na primeira, a bola sobrou para Maycon, que chutou para fora, mas muito próximo da trave do goleiro Rafael. Na sequência, o próprio garoto bateu cruzado e mandou para fora, mas, novamente, com muito perigo.

> DEUS RAFAEL: quando o Corinthians resolveu jogar, duas grandes chances pararam em defesas espetaculares de Rafael. A primeira foi em um chute de fora da área do Matías Rojas, que tinha o ângulo direito como endereço. O camisa 23 do Tricolor foi buscar com a mão trocada. A segunda foi no último lance da partida, quando, após um cruzamento na área, a bola foi rebatida e sobrou para Giuliano bater, da entrada da pequena área, à queima roupa, parando no são-paulino. A arbitragem marcou impedimento no lance, mas ele certamente seria revisado pelo VAR.

COMO FOI O PRIMEIRO TEMPO?

Primeiro tempo de somente um time: o São Paulo. Precisando tirar uma desvantagem de dois gols, o Tricolor foi para cima do Corinthians desde o início. E não demorou muito para abrir o placar. Na primeira grande chance criada, Wellington Rato teve toda a liberdade do mundo para avançar, cortar para o meio e enfiar um canudo no ângulo direito do goleiro Cássio. O lance, inclusive, começou após uma reposição de bola errada do arqueiro corintiano. E a equipe são-paulina seguiu em cima, tanto que ampliou a vantagem ainda na etapa inicial, com o craque do primeiro tempo: Lucas Moura. Em uma troca de passes, o camisa 7 recebeu na entrada da área e inverteu para Rato, que, de cabeça, colocou entre os zagueiros corintianos que pararam. Lucas entrou sozinho cabeceou na trave, mas a bola acabou entrando. O único momento de perigo corintiano foi em uma cabeçada de Murillo, após cobrança de escanteio, que passou pelo canto direito de Rafael, que ficou parado e tirou com os olhos. A bola tirou tinta da trave no Morumbi. 

E A ETAPA FINAL?

O Corinthians voltou para o segundo tempo com duas alterações: entraram Fagner e Matías Rojas nos lugares de Bruno Méndez e Fausto Vera. Mesmo assim, o Timão não conseguiu criar as primeiras mudanças. Então, precisou de outras substituições para entrar de vez no jogo. Assim, entraram Matheus Bidu, Giuliano e Wesley aos 17 minutos da etapa final. E, principalmente, o ingresso do terceiro fez o clube alvinegro incendiar. Na casa dos 30 minutos, os corintianos começaram a ensaiar uma pressão e criaram dois grandes lances de perigo. Um iniciado pelo garoto e que terminou com um chute para fora de Maycon. E o segundo com a própria cria do terrão, que bateu cruzado e tirou tinta da trave são-paulina. Antes, o São Paulo teve, pelo menos, duas boas chances de ampliar o marcador. Na principal delas, Calleri ganhou a marcação e tentou a finalização de letra, que parou no goleiro Cássio. Nos minutos finais, o Corinthians foi para a pressão. E foi onde brilhou a estrela do goleiro Rafael, do São Paulo, que fez dois milagres. O primeiro, em um chute de fora da área de Rojas, que iria no ângulo direito. A segunda, no último segundo com uma bola rebatida após cruzamento que sobrou para Giuliano, na entrada da pequena área, enchendo o pé e parando novamente no paredão do Tricolor. A arbitragem marcou impedimento, mas o lance seria revisado pela arbitragem de vídeo.

وقال وارنوك في تصريحاته لـ”بي بي سي” قبل انطلاق المباراة: “سواءً صدق الناس أم لا، لا يزال ليفربول يمر بمرحلة حزن، في كل مباراة، وفي كل مقابلة، يُذكر اسم ديوجو جوتا، سواءً كان ذلك صحيحًا أم خاطئًا، ويجد اللاعبون صعوبة بالغة في التعامل مع هذا الأمر، ليس فقط اللاعبون، بل الجهاز الفني أيضًا”.

وأضاف: “في كل مرة يدخلون فيها غرفة الملابس، تجدون مكانه، ومكانًا آخر في ملعب التدريب، كل 20 دقيقة تُغنى أغنية جوتا، هناك تذكيرات مستمرة”.

وأردف: “من الصعب القول إنهم مضطرون للتعامل مع هذا الأمر، لأنهم قد لا يتعاملون معه أبدًا، أو قد يتعاملون معه في أوقات مختلفة”.

وأتم: “بالنسبة للاعبين الذين انضموا في الصيف، أتخيل أن دخولهم كان صعبًا للغاية عندما يكون هناك مجموعة من الناس يعانون من فقدان صديق، تحاولون التآلف والتواصل مع الناس، وهم ليسوا في مزاج يسمح لهم بذلك”.

A luta de Diogo Barbosa para se consolidar no Fluminense tende a ser marcada por duros obstáculos. O jogador de 30 anos, que desembarcou no Rio de Janeiro e passou a última segunda-feira (19) fazendo exames antes de assinar contrato com o Tricolor das Laranjeiras, vê na mudança de ares a tentativa de retomar seu futebol ideal.

O atleta surge como a “cartada” da diretoria tricolor para encontrar uma alternativa no setor. Além de contar com Marcelo, que vem se recuperando de dores na panturrilha, o técnico Fernando Diniz viu Jorge, outra opção do setor, passar por uma lesão grave. Diogo Barbosa travaria disputa pela segunda vaga com João Henrique (o Esquerdinha), recentemente promovido da base.

Outro desafio de Diogo Barbosa é se redimir após uma passagem instável. Jornalista da Rádio Gaúcha, Cleber Grabauska detalhou como o lateral se saiu no Grêmio.

– O Diogo foi mal no Grêmio. Foi frágil defensivamente e nunca conseguiu compensar esse seu ponto fraco dando um acréscimo de qualidade na parte ofensiva. Não conseguiu ser protagonista e não se firmou como titular. Além disso, pesam contra o Diogo o fato dele ser um espécie de resposta à saída inesperada do Caio Henrique para o Mônaco e também o fato do Grêmio ter feito um péssimo negócio financeiramente – disse ao Lance!.

Cabe a Fernando Diniz encontrar o rumo ideal para o jogador de 30 anos deslanchar no Tricolor das Laranjeiras. Em um Fluminense que tenta se reencaixar e conta com pilares como Fábio, Marcelo e Cano, Diogo Barbosa se esmera para engrenar.

As they do every year, Chelsea have really made the most of the transfer window so far.

The board have been able to shift players like Kepa Arrizabalaga and Noni Madueke while bringing in a handful of seriously exciting and potentially game-changing talents.

The likes of Joao Pedro, Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens should make them far more dangerous in attack, while Jorrel Hato looks like he could develop into a superstar defender.

Moreover, the Blues clearly want to do even more business before the window closes and have been linked with someone who could be their own Eberechi Eze.

Chelsea target their own Eze

Despite already doing so much business this summer, Chelsea appear intent on bringing in at least a few more players.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

For example, the deal for Alejandro Garnacho seems to be moving along at a pace, and Bayer Leverkusen star Piero Hincapié continues to be touted for a move to Stamford Bridge following Levi Colwill’s ACL injury.

However, there is an even more exciting deal the West Londoners could pull off this summer that would see them land someone who could be their own Eze.

At least that is according to a recent report by Kieran Gill, who has reaffirmed Chelsea’s interest in Xavi Simons.

More than that, though, Gill has revealed that, despite interest from Bayern Munich, the RB Leipzig star “only wants Chelsea” this summer.

While no price for the Dutchman is mentioned in the report, stories from earlier this summer claim that a fee of around £61m should be enough to tempt the German side into selling.

It would be a significant investment from Chelsea, but Simons has proven himself over the last few years and could even be their own version of Eze.

Why Simons could be Chelsea's Eze

Now, even though Simons is five years his junior, and therefore in a different phase of his career and development, there are still some key similarities he shares with Eze, such as his versatility.

For example, even though he has been described as “one of the best 10s in the world” by one analyst, and has spent plenty of time playing there, the 22-year-old dynamo is just as comfortable off the left.

In fact, the Amsterdam-born star is more versatile than the Englishman, as he can also play off the right and has even spent some time playing up top as a centre-forward.

The second similarity with the Palace star is his effectiveness when it comes to goals and assists.

In just 33 appearances for Leipzig last season, totalling 2763 minutes, the dynamic “game-changer,” as dubbed by talent scout Jacek Kulig, put the ball in the back of the net 11 times and then provided eight assists to boot.

That means that the former PSV Eindhoven gem maintained an average of a goal involvement every 1.73 games, or every 145.42 minutes.

Finally, just as the former QPR gem has been entertaining fans in the Premier League for a few years now, the former Paris Saint-Germain ace is the sort of player who’ll get fans on their feet.

For example, FBref ranked him in the top 3% of attacking midfielders and wingers in the Bundesliga last season for passes into the penalty area, through balls and carries into the final third, all per 90.

In other words, on top of his brilliant output, the Flying Dutchman is someone who will progress the game for his side, either with pinpoint accurate passes into dangerous areas, or bringing it there with a dribble.

Ultimately, while it might take him a little while to adjust to the Premier League, Simons looks like he has everything he’d need to be the next Eze, and therefore, Chelsea should be doing all they can to bring him to Stamford Bridge this summer.

It’s a case of one in, one out at Stamford Bridge.
