توتي عن رفض مبابي الانضمام إلى ريال مدريد: فعلتها قبله بـ20 عامًا

يرى أسطورة روما، فرانشيسكو توتي، أن قرار كيليان مبابي برفض الانتقال إلى ريال مدريد، قام باتخاذه من قبل عندما كان لاعبًا.

فاز قائد الجيالوروسي الأسطوري بالدوري مع روما في عام 2001 لكنه لم يفز بكأس أوروبا مع نادي العاصمة، وسيكون اليوم في تيرانا لمشاهدة نهائي دوري المؤتمر ضد فينورد الليلة.

وقال توتي في تصريحات لشبكة “سكاي” الإيطالية: “أنا متوتر، أود أن أعود للملعب اليوم وأساعد روما في الفوز، ربما جميع الرومانيستا يريدون ذلك”.

وقال بطل العالم 2006 في تصريحاته لراديو مونتي كارلو الفرنسي، عن قرار مبابي: “لقد استمع مبابي إلى قلبه، لأنه نشأ في باريس”.

وأضاف: “ليس من السهل أن ترفض ريال مدريد، لكنني فعلت ذلك منذ 20 عامًا لأنني أردت البقاء في روما”.

وكان توتي قد رفض ريال مدريد عام 2002 من أجل البقاء في روما، رغم أن النادي الإسباني عرض 80 مليون يورو لتأمين خروجه، ووافق نظيره الإيطالي على ذلك، لكن رغبة فرانشيسكو كانت حاسمة.

Robinson hails Alderweireld move to Qatar

Speaking to Football Insider, Sky Sports pundit Paul Robinson has hailed Toby Alderweireld’s official exit from Tottenham Hotspur to Al-Duhail whilst explaining why it is an ‘exciting’ move.

The Lowdown: Alderweireld bids farewell…

Following winger Erik Lamela out the door, defender Alderweireld has now officially waved goodbye to Spurs after six years in north London.

The Belgian signed for Tottenham in the summer of 2015 from Atletico Madrid and went on to make 236 appearances in all competitions for the club (Transfermarkt).

Managing director Fabio Paratici is in the midst of a major summer rebuild at Spurs with Alderweireld now becoming another player to part ways.

The Latest: Robinson hails move to Qatar…

Speaking to Football Insider amid this big exit news, Sky pundit and former Spurs keeper Robinson believes this is an exciting opportunity for Alderweireld in the middle-east.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-latest-updates-copy/” title=”Tottenham latest developments…” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Indeed, the ex-England internationals it could be ‘special’ to play in Qatar, especially during a World Cup year in 2022.

“I was working there throughout the Euros and the infrastructure that has been built is incredible so I understand Alderweireld’s move,” Robinson said.

“The stadiums, the training grounds and the football setup is top class. All of the stadiums there are connected by an electric rail and are purpose built for football. There’s no running tracks around them.

“If you had a chance to go there at a stage of your career, you would.

“The football isn’t great there, yes. But to have the opportunity to play there in a World Cup year will be special. I understand why he is making the move because it is a very exciting time to be over there.”

The Verdict: Unique experience?

Hosting the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has been met with protests, controversy and scandals at the very highest level of football (The Times).

In that sense, you could argue Alderweireld’s choice to swap England for Al-Duhail will, at the very least, be a unique and eye-opening experience as he gets to witness first hand the tournament’s anticipation after years of build up.

However, the fact he has signed a contract until 2024 indicates he isn’t just there to experience the World Cup atmosphere, and you’d certainly expect it will be a lucrative move for the former fan favourite as he enters the twilight years of his career.

Cafu vê vitória de camarote e aponta Palmeiras como candidato ao título

MatériaMais Notícias

Ídolo da história palmeirense, o capitão do penta de 2002 Cafu foi o convidado principal do camarote Champions Club, inaugurado na noite desta quarta-feira pela CSM no Allianz Parque e destacou a qualidade e experiência do grupo do Palmeiras para vencer a Libertadores.

– Eu já conquistei duas Copas Libertadores e sei o quanto é difícil vencer essa competição. Às vezes, não basta ser apenas na técnica. Tem que ter raça e principalmente um controle emocional durante os 90 minutos. Nesta noite, o Palmeiras soube juntar tudo isso mesmo com uma expulsão. É uma equipe com muitos jogadores de qualidade, alguns deles experientes ao extremo, casos do Zé Roberto, do Felipe Melo e do Dracena. Tenho certeza que está no caminho certo e é um dos fortes candidatos este ano – falou Cafu.

Desde que se aposentou no Milan, em 2008, Cafu se tornou referência em participações de grandes eventos corporativos ligados ao esporte. O ex-lateral-direito reconheceu que a participação e o interesse de diversas empresas em investir no esporte, além de novos atrativos nos serviços oferecidos nas arenas por meio dos camarotes, como faz a CSM no Allianz Parque e Maracanã, são um alento.

– Vejo com muita felicidade o fato de cada vez mais empresas estarem investindo no esporte. Quando entregamos algo de excelência, o retorno é garantido. O camarote Champions Club é um dos mais modernos e completos entre as arenas brasileiras, com um conceito parecido já existente na Europa. Fico orgulhoso de ter participado deste primeiro em dias de jogos – avaliou o ex-jogador palmeirense.

A CSM, detentora do camarote, é uma empresa especializada em gestão e marketing esportivo e com grande atuação na administração de camarotes corporativos nos estádios brasileiros durante a Copa do Mundo de 2014, e no estádio do Maracanã nos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016.

ليس محمد صلاح.. كورتوا يكشف عن أصعب تصدي أمام ليفربول في نهائي أبطال أوروبا

كشف تيبو كورتوا، حارس مرمى ريال مدريد الإسباني، عن الفرصة الأصعب التي تصدى لها أمام ليفربول، في المباراة التي جمعت الفريقين بنهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا مساء السبت. 

وتغلب ريال مدريد على ليفربول بهدف دون رد ليتوج بدوري أبطال أوروبا للمرة الرابعة عشر في تاريخه، وتألق كورتوا خلال المباراة وتصدى لفرص كثيرة من بينها 3 أهداف مؤكدة لمحمد صلاح.

وقال كورتوا في تصريحات للموقع الرسمي لليويفا: “أعتقد أن أهم تصدي هو التصدي لفرصة ماني، لقد كان الأمر صعبًا، استخدمت حقًا كل سنتيمتر من المترين اللذين أمتلكهما، ثم استدرت سريعًا للحصول على الكرة المرتدة”.

كورتوا أضاف بشأن خيبة أمله في نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا 2014 والذي خسره أمام ريال مدريد حين كان لاعبًا لأتلتيكو مدريد: “هذا الفوز يعني الكثير بالنسبة لنا جميعًا وبالنسبة لي شخصيًا فهو يعني الكثير، لقد مرت ثمان سنوات منذ آخر نهائي لي وخسرت ذلك، عندما تخسر أخيرًا، يمكنك تقدير المكاسب أكثر”.

وحول مكان انتصار الأمس ضمن مسيرته، أفاد البلجيكي: “إنها واحدة من أفضل لحظات مسيرتي، لقد فزت بالعديد من الألقاب الكبيرة مع العديد من الأندية، وهنا أيضًا، لكن من الحلم الفوز بدوري أبطال أوروبا مع ريال مدريد”.

وأكد: “إنه أفضل شعور في حياتي، إلى جانب شعوري أثناء ولادة أطفالي، أنا فخور جدًا بالفوز بأول دوري أبطال لي، إنه لأمر جميل أن أفوز بالدوري الأول، لكني أريد ثانية، وثالثة، ورابعة”.

وشدد كورتوا: “إنه أمر لا يصدق إنه حلم تحقق، لقد قضيت سنوات عديدة في تقديم التضحيات، وكان هذا هو الكأس الوحيد الذي كنت أفتقده، لقد وصلت إلى النهائي مرة واحدة من قبل وخسرت هناك، لذلك، من الواضح، كنت أرغب حقًا في الوصول إلى نهائي آخر والفوز به، وأن أفعل ذلك على هذا النحو … ليس لدي أي كلمات لوصفها”.

وأتم كورتوا: “لقد شعرنا بالرضا حقًا ولدينا رغبة كبيرة في الفوز والرغبة هي ما يمكن أن تحدث الفارق حقًا في يوم مثل ما حدث ليلة السبت، يتعلق الأمر بالقول:” اليوم هو يومي، اليوم سأفوز بدوري الأبطال هذا، لن أخسر آخر، ورؤية ذلك يتحقق أمر لا يصدق”.

As gerações são diferentes, mas qualidade e o prestígio da torcida do Flamengo ambos têm. Zico convida Petkovic para o novo quadro do seu canal no Youtube: Desafio na Gaveta.

O Galinho de Quintino e suas belas cobranças de falta, uniu-se ao gringo mais amado da torcida rubro-negra, em um confronto para batedores de falta, contra o youtuber, Bruno Torelly. O resultado, vocês já devem imaginar, não é? Goleada para os ídolos rubro-negros.

Após a goleada, o youtuber pagou uma prenda: comemorar um gol de peixinho no campo molhado. Mas até para fazer um gol de pênalti, o youtuber foi zoado:

― Eu vou pro lado de lá e você chuta pro lado de cá. Não vai errar, né? ― combinou Zico.

Bruno bateu. Gol. Corre para comemorar, abraça Pet e se joga na grama com toda vontade.

Após pagar a prenda, Bruno bateu um papo com os ídolos e ouviu um pouco mais sobre bater faltas:

― Bater falta é treinamento, talento e qualidade. Eu, por exemplo, vi desde cedo isso, aprendi e quando cheguei ao profissional decidi me aperfeiçoar. Senti que era uma coisa importante para o seu time ― contou Zico.

Pet também falou de sua experiência:

― Eu batendo falta fui chamado para treinar no futebol. Era moleque tinha seis anos de idade e brincando na frente do prédio onde eu morava. Tinha um estádio há cem metros, brincava na quadra de handball e ia chutando e acertava no ângulo, o tempo todo. ― comentou Petkovic

O vídeo foi publicado hoje, dia 27 e já possui quase 25mil acessos. Tá fazendo sucesso como youtuber o Zico, não é?!

Lee sparks Australian surge

Brett Lee breathed life into a meandering match with a masterful spell of fast reverse-swing that overshadowed Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s second century of the series

Brett Lee breathed life into a meandering match with a masterful spell of fast reverse-swing that overshadowed Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s second century of the series and significantly increased the chances of a final-day result. Lee’s strikes ensured Australia’s first-innings lead of 127 and by the end of the fourth day Phil Jaques had run with the momentum, posting 76 and setting up the visitors’ advantage of 371.At the close Australia had reached 244 for 6, with Andrew Symonds unbeaten on 43 after Lee fell from the last ball of the day. Their lead appeared to be more than adequate to secure the Frank Worrell Trophy – they only need a draw – but there was no indication as to when Ricky Ponting would give his bowlers a chance to push for the victory.Despite their deteriorating position, West Indies refused to be dictated to, and gradually picked off Australia’s batsmen. Jerome Taylor grabbed a couple of wickets, trapping Ponting lbw for 38 and drawing an edge behind from Jaques, while a sharp throw from Chanderpaul ended Michael Clarke’s stay on 10. But Australia had such a lead that they were not under any real match pressure, although there was some physical pain when Lee took a nasty blow to the helmet from a cracking Fidel Edwards bouncer.Jaques battled through a scratchy opening and started to find some form, compiling his first half-century in a Test without Matthew Hayden by his side. He put on a 74-run opening stand with Michael Hussey, who was sent out first as Simon Katich was still nursing a bruised rib sustained during his first-innings century. Hussey looked confident while driving his way to 40.While Jaques and the rest of the top order improved Australia’s buffer with relative ease, it was Lee who gave them the opportunity. On a pitch that appeared deader than Stuart MacGill’s Test career, Lee located the defibrillators that no other fast bowler could find. He shocked West Indies’ middle order into an early exit following a productive 132-run partnership between Dwayne Bravo and Chanderpaul – whose consistency continues to astound – and grabbed five wickets thanks to his venomous late swing.Lee did benefit from some poor umpiring decisions but he worked hard for the results in a vicious six-over display. The spell, which was broken up by a one-over break to change his shoes, earned Lee 5 for 11, including three wickets in four balls as the lower order battled to deal with his bending of the ball. The major blow came when Bravo, who had compiled a proper Test innings of 45 by controlling his aggressive urges, was adjudged to have feathered a catch down leg side to Brad Haddin. Bravo was clearly disappointed and the replays were inconclusive – it may have come off his thigh pad – but Denesh Ramdin certainly suffered from an umpiring lapse next ball.Ramdin’s eyes had hardly adjusted to the sunshine when he received a startling inswinging yorker from Lee. He jammed the bat down too late and was given lbw by Russell Tiffin, although the ball had struck him outside the line of off stump. Darren Sammy survived the hat-trick delivery but with Lee’s next effort became another victim of the reverse swing and Tiffin’s misjudgement. Like Ramdin, Sammy was hit outside the line trying to defend and was sent on his way regardless.West Indies got the worst of the decisions but Lee created the opportunities by sending down hand-grenades. He varied his attack by pushing Taylor back with fast stuff before bowling him with a slower ball, and swung another in to Daren Powell, who was correctly judged lbw to give Lee figures of 5 for 59. Mitchell Johnson ended the innings at 352 when he had Edwards caught behind and it was a relief for Johnson, who was partly responsible for allowing Chanderpaul and Bravo to build such a strong partnership earlier in the day.Strangely, Ponting opened the morning with his two weaker bowlers and Johnson sprayed deliveries alternately wide of leg and off stumps as he failed to find the late swing that Lee mastered. MacGill was also having problems with his line and length and allowed Bravo to release his aggression with a couple of full tosses that disappeared over midwicket. Chanderpaul, who was largely content to score through well-guided late cuts and nudges, also put MacGill away on his way to an unbeaten 107. When Ponting turned to his part-timers to race through some overs – perhaps wary that he had lost half his match fee in Kingston for slow over rates – Chanderpaul brought up his hundred with an uncharacteristic slog sweep over midwicket off Symonds.It continued Chanderpaul’s remarkable year – in the past 12 months he has made five Test centuries and averages 98.50. He survived the Lee onslaught but as his partners rapidly departed, it became increasingly unlikely that Chanderpaul could carry the hopes of an archipelago on his tiny shoulders as officials began polishing up the Frank Worrell Trophy in anticipation of a possible presentation to Ponting on Tuesday.

Serie A expert drops big Lukaku take amid Chelsea bid claims

Serie A expert Conor Clancy has expressed his doubts over why Romelu Lukaku would want to move to Chelsea this summer from Inter Milan.

Various reports have suggested that the Blues have made a number of bids for the Belgium international in this transfer window.

The Daily Telegraph have reported that Lukaku would be willing to join Chelsea, the club he left in 2014 after making just 15 first-team appearances at Stamford Bridge, if the two clubs could agree a big-money deal.

Inter are said to value the Belgium international at £100m but Chelsea are willing to pay him £250,000-per-week and make him their most expensive player ever.

The Blues sold Lukaku to Everton for £28m and he has since played for Manchester United and Inter, enjoying a prolific spell at the latter.

The striker has made 95 appearances for Inter and has scored 64 goals, while also registering 16 assists, and Clancy, who is the editor-in-chief of Forza Italian Football, does not think it makes any sense for Lukaku to make a shocking return to west London.

He said: “I don’t see why he would. He’s so disrespected in England as well, it’s a joke. I don’t know why Lukaku would want to leave Inter, where people kiss the ground he walks on, he’s absolutely idolised there and rightly so.

“He’s a phenomenal player and he’s been brilliant since he came to Serie A. So, no, I don’t know why he’d want to go back to England, to be honest.”

Man Utd not targeting Ander Herrera

Manchester United are not interested in re-signing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Ander Herrera, contrary to reports.

What’s the story?

The Reds Devils were linked with a shock move for the experienced 31-year-old campaigner by The Guardian following Lionel Messi’s arrival at the Parc des Princes in recent days.

However, according to well-known reporter Jonathan Shrager, United aren’t looking to bring the Spaniard back to Manchester this summer.

He tweeted: “In terms of today’s report which proposed a possible return to United for Ander Herrera, I am told that there is currently nothing in it”.

Fans will be delighted

United manager Ole Gunnar Solkjaer is thought to be desperate to bolster his engine room options with a new defensive midfielder in the current window.

The likes of Ruben Neves, Saul Niguez and Eduardo Camavinga have all reportedly caught the eye of the club’s hierarchy, but a formal offer has yet to be made for any potential target.

News of the Old Trafford outfit’s proposed interest in Herrera came as a shock, though. The tough-tackling dynamo enjoyed five relatively successful years on English shores before departing for Paris in 2019.

He scored 20 goals and provided 27 assists in 189 appearances for the Red Devils during his time at the club, winning the FA Cup, Europa League and League Cup along the way.

During a tricky time on and off the field for the 20-time English champions, Herrera’s honest, consistent and full-blooded displays endeared him to the supporters, earning his status as a fan’s favourite at the time.

However, talk of his potential return would have done little to excite the United supporters. At 31, the former Athletic Bilbao ace is entering the twilight years of his career and is not the solution to Solskjaer’s midfield conundrum.

The Norwegian tactician is thought to be keen on a holding midfielder capable of providing the necessary support to Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba, allowing him to drop the ‘McFred’ double pivot.

Whether such a player even exists is up for debate, but the answer certainly doesn’t lie in Herrera’s ageing legs, and a large section of the fanbase will surely be delighted that a return appears to be off the cards.
