Big transfers were solicited in vain at the start of the week. But the rumors were all the more exciting. Here is the transfer news.

With a market value of 10 million euros (source ‘(Site notre équipe d’expert)’). Marc Roca yesterday the only notable transfer. Ex-Bayern star joins Leeds United on loan Betis Sevilla. He left England after the relegation of Leeds.

Inter is looking for a new striker which is why there have been Romelu Lukaku signing rumors lately. However, because he is more involved with Juve, the Nerazzurri quit poker. Arsenals Folarin Balogun sparked interest, reports The Athletic. The Italians have yet to submit a bid.

it should be much more precise Juan Cuadrado be. According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Cuadrado will undergo his medical this week Inter complete and then sign a contract until 2024.

Riyadh Mahrez will he again go into the desert. As reported by The Athletic Al Ahli already contacted the Skyblues. Since a change doesn’t seem unrealistic, the PL club are already looking for a replacement. The transfer fee for the Algerian, who still has a contract with ManCity until 2025, would be 35 million euros.

« When does Kim finally arrive? » Many Bayern fans will surely wonder that. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has now given hope that this will soon be the time. You can see his statements in the video here.

As « Sky » journalist Florian Plettenberg also reports, the deal is done and the money is transferred. Previously, there were complications with Napoli but now they are resolved. Kim is seen as Lucas Hernández’s successor and coach Thomas Tuchel’s absolute dream player.

It’s well known that the Spaniards like to put things in place during the transfer phase. With the latest rumours, however, things have gone a step further. As ‘El Nacional’ report, Manchester United are reportedly interested in David Alaba after Harry Maguire was sacked as captain.

But we can assume that the report is rather absurd. ‘El Nacional’ newspaper was founded in Barcelona in 2016 and there is no real connection with Real Madrid. Especially since Alaba only signed a contract until 2026 and is a regular player under Ancelotti. Kind of speaks all against a change.

« Huge opportunity » in the promotion of young talents

Markus Krösche calls for better youth development in German (Site notre bureau spécialisé). The approach has to change fundamentally, the Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director said in the ‘kicker’ interview. « On the one hand, the DFB is needed, but so are we as clubs. We have to ask honest questions: What has happened in the last seven or eight years? Why do we have so little talent at most? high level ?

The 42-year-old, who is also a member of the DFL (Site notre blog d’information) Committee, is calling for ‘territorial protection’ similar to that of England. As a result, clubs with youth academies (NLZ) are only allowed to accept players from a certain region up to a certain age, according to Krösche. Club practice – all clubs participating in the Bundesliga and 2nd Division are obliged to run a performance center as a funding institution – is currently different.

“Until the age of 18, we need a salary cap. So a maximum amount that can be paid to a young player who is not yet a professional player », demanded Krösche. Then the money for players and consultants would no longer be an incentive to change. « We have a huge opportunity in Germany to solve the problem of too frequent and early changes with a salary cap. » Krösche also suggested starting with the NLZ of the U12s and young (Site notre bureau spécialisé)ers playing in their home clubs for as long as possible to allow.

Professional clubs should “go to grassroots (Site notre bureau spécialisé) in their respective region, create partnerships, help with the training of coaches. This is part of the responsibility of professional clubs – but above all of the DFB. The DFB needs to invest a lot more in the training of grassroots club coaches, » Krösche said. playing time at the same time. » That’s how the mentality of the (Site notre bureau spécialisé) pitch that we all want back is created in the first place. And the best of this group of players then go to the NLZ from the U12s. »

Eintracht Frankfurt’s Krösche sees new league structure as building block

From 2024, the Bundesliga A-Junior and B-Junior will be abolished. The new divisions will be called the U19 and U17 Junior Leagues. « We have to be clear: the new structure of the league is only a building block. (…) But if we think that we have changed the structure now and that in a few years we will have at least eight class players in Germany, then we are on the wrong track. The subject is far too complex for that, « said Krösche. Joti Chatzialexiou, sports director of the national teams, had spoken of « a milestone in the promotion of our young talents ».

July 15, 2018 is a day that will remain etched in the memory of French (Site notre bureau spécialisé) fans. That day, their national team beat Croatia 4-2 to claim their second World Cup trophy after 1998.

At the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Mario Mandzukic’s own goal opened the scoring in the 18th minute. Ivan Perisic equalized in the 28th minute to make it 1-1 but after that ‘Equipe Tricolore’ were unstoppable and increased to 4-1 in the 65th minute with goals from Antoine Griezmann, Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe. Mandzukic’s goal in the 69th minute was nothing but Croatian cosmetics. Captain Hugo Lloris was the second French (Site notre bureau spécialisé)er after Didier Deschamps to lift the world’s most coveted trophy in 1998.

The French route to the 2018 World Cup may seem somewhat paradoxical at first sight. « Les Bleus » almost never played convincingly, but the world title was never really in danger.

In the group stage, they faced Australia, Peru and Denmark. Wins over Australia (2-1) and Peru (1-0) qualified them early for the round of 16, and in the final group game against Denmark (0-0), coach Deschamps even been able to rest some of its stars.

But the French had enough spectacle for a match in their tanks. The 4-3 round of 16 victory over Argentina was certainly the most spectacular match of the entire World Cup. The 1-2 deficit in the 48th minute also marked the only time in the tournament when France’s dominance seemed to crumble for a brief moment. With three goals in eleven minutes, the « Grande Nation » had the right answer here too, the Argentine goal did not come until the 93rd minute of play.

The stories about the quarters and semis are then told relatively quickly. According to the motto « A good horse only jumps as high as it should », they first eliminated Uruguay (2:0) and then Belgium. The team were extremely understated in both games, with Uruguay and Belgium hardly creating clear chances to score.

Although the 4-2 final victory over Croatia seemed spectacular at first glance, this match was anything but an attacking firework. Individual errors from both sides and strokes of genius from Pogba and Mbappé resulted in a result that didn’t quite match the flow of the game.

In the end, the individual class of the French selection won more or less unchallenged. Even before the tournament, L’Équipe was considered the big favorite for the title, almost all experts agreed that the French team was the strongest of all teams.

Didier Deschamps’ side resisted the pressure and impressed with pragmatic but hugely successful (Site notre bureau spécialisé) throughout the tournament. Moreover, the 2018 World Cup marked the latest international breakthrough for Kylian Mbappé, who scored four goals aged just 19 and was voted into the tournament’s all-star team.

If there is one league that drives the summer transfer window, it is the Saudi elite. Many of the (Site notre bureau spécialisé)ing stars have taken the final step, starting with reigning Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema. With a real breath-taking effect for (Site notre bureau spécialisé)ers who no longer hesitate to sacrifice the glory inherent in major European competitions to embrace the petrodollars of the Saudi kingdom.

Here there is no financial fair play, many clubs being directly supported by the sovereign fund of Saudi Arabia and its 700 billion euros. Also we can be surprised to see the tap suddenly cut, on the connection of Fifa. This is the case for Cristiano Ronaldo’s employer, Al-Nassr, based in Riyadh and banned from recruitment until further notice. A boon perhaps for RC Lens, approached by the latter club for Seko Fofana.

A ridiculous debt to honor

 » The Al-Nassr club is currently prohibited from registering new players due to heavy debts. This prohibition will be lifted as soon as the settlement of the debt has been confirmed by the creditor. “, trumpeted the parent company of world (Site notre bureau spécialisé). The debt in question appears derisory in view of Al-Nassr’s means: 500,000 euros – a bonus due to Leicester in accordance with the deal made with the Foxes in 2018 for the transfer of Nigerian striker Ahmed Musa.

Arrested last Tuesday (11) for alleged racism against Corinthians fansthe physical trainer university-BY, Sebastien AvellinoRemains in jail in Brazil this Wednesday (12).

During a custody hearing, Avellino’s arrest in flagrante delicto was transformed into a pretrial, which led to the professional remaining in detention in the country.

It was possible that the judge would order him to answer freely. However, the rest in a cell waiting for the next bands.

The physical trainer is accompanied by two Brazilian lawyers, Mayara Franco Bazani and Leandro Félix Bernardes, as well as Jean Ferrari, head of delegation from the Lima club.

From now on, the police investigation into the case will continue, at the same time as the prosecution will be able to file a complaint.

You side of the defense, lawyers are more likely to file a request for habeas corpus to try to free Avellino.

understand the case

Last Tuesday (11), during a match between Corinthians and Universitario, Sebastián Avellino allegedly made offensive gestures towards Timão fans.

In addition, the physical trainer would have called the Corinthians  » sung (“monkeys”, in Portuguese). A fan filed a complaint with the military police at the scene, who took Avellino to the Jecrim (special criminal court) located in the Neo Química arena.

Some fans were also sent to the scene to testify about the case.

In a press conference, Jorge Fossati, coach of the Universitario, came to the defense of his colleague from the technical staff.

 » I have not seen it. I know him, he’s been working with me for 13 years, since 2010. He’s a very respectful guy and, according to him, his gestures were misunderstood. He was going « why me? » because they were cursing him, spitting on him. Misadventures, the (Site notre bureau spécialisé) truck. It seems the fans can do whatever they want now, if we react, it’s wrong. That’s how it is,” he said.

“But the Corinthians, the Universitario fans, what they are, if they don’t have the right behavior to stay at a (Site notre bureau spécialisé) match, they have to close their entrance, that’s also wrong. That’s the only thing I can guarantee you: he’s a respectful guy. Let’s see. They said they had the cameras, so let’s see,” he continued.

« That’s what I say at game time. Since there is a camera, arguments are over. If the camera shows he made a mistake, unfortunately he will have to pay. I hope it’s nothing because he’s not a delinquent either. If he was not mistaken, then good, he will be with us shortly,” he added.

O Barcelona officially announce the signature of Vitor Roquebut the young Brazilian striker remains in Athletico PR Just June 2024, not produced in Spain for the 2024/25 season. Apart from the red-black interest, this is explained by the Catalans’ financial situation.

On the eve of the announcement of the signing, the president of Barcelona, ​​Joan Laporta, had already confirmed the agreementbut warned that the Brazilian’s arrival date depends on ‘reaction plan’ which was presented to the leaguean attempt by the club to operate with more freedom over its spending.

Is that, with billionaire debt and spending above the salary cap, Barcelona are outside the rules of « financial fair play » and suffered a series of sanctions from La Liga, which prevented, for example, last season, that the team managed to register even contract renewals with its athletes.

To convince LaLiga that they are working on leveling the books, Barcelona presented the so-called ‘viability plan’ last April. In this document, the club pledged to reduce its ordinary expenses by 15% in two years and also to reduce the wage bill by 120 million euros (641 million reais at the current rate) for the current season, including includes the sale of players.

Barcelona’s main concern was that La Liga would release the club to operate under the rule that applies to all other Spanish teams, the ‘1 on 1’ rule. This means that every euro saved on a team’s payroll can be reinvested by the team, i.e. if the real Madrid makes room in their salaries with the departure of Karim Benzema, can hire another player receiving the same.

At the beginning of June, LaLiga approved the plan presented by Barcelona, ​​but not in full, as they saw that there were still some problems the Catalans would need to solve in their finances. Thus, the club has not already entered the « 1 for 1 » rule, but a 40% and 20% rule.

Explanation: for every figure saved by Barcelona in player salaries, 40% eventually be used to sign new players; and of each sale made by the club, 20% can be reinvested.

In other words, if Barcelona hypothetically saved 100 million euros on their wage bill, only 40 million euros can be added to the salaries of other athletes; if you sold someone for 100 million, only 20 million can become an investment in the market.

Barcelona have seen heavyweight players leave since last season, making room in their payroll which exceeds 600 million euros (over R$3 billion), like Antoine Griezmann, Memphis Depay, Jordi Alba, Right dive and sergio busquets. But the club also had to sign renewals that have also been made in the past, such as Gavi, Ronald Araújo, Iñaki Peña, Sergi Roberto or Marcos Alonso.

Thinking of the reinforcements, Barcelona have already had to welcome according to the financial rules established by LaLiga the arrivals of Iñigo Martínez and Ilkay Gundogan. Apart from that, the club is still on the market to meet xavi’s priority requests: the arrival of a right-back and also two other midfielders. The « space » maneuver in accounts to also accommodate Vitor Roque now.

Laporta and Barcelona have always treated Vitor Roque’s immediate signing as ‘unlikely’ but understood that it would be possible to count on him in January. “It will depend on ‘fair play’, on the viability plan that we have to fulfill. And there are operations that we suppose to do, unless we generate income that gives us fair play, then we have to sign the player, ”said the manager.

Arriving only in 2024/25, meanwhile, gives Barcelona a lot more time to be able to solve their internal problems – in addition to also pleasing Athletico-PR, who turned out with their main striker until the end of the season. Brazilian season and also next year’s side.

This Monday (10), the steering wheel Alain was later presented as a new reinforcement of the flamenco.

During his first press conference as a red-black athlete, the midfielder declared himself to the Rio de Janeiro team and said that he dreams of wearing the Flamengo shirt.

« It’s very easy to answer (why did you choose Flamengo): because of the size of the club. I see Flamengo as the best team in Brazil, so it was not difficult to choose. It was a dream that I had to be here, and today I can fulfill it. happy,” he said, with a huge smile on his face.

“In 2019, when the project (Flamengo) started, I followed it very closely, because I was with the rival (Fluminense). This desire (to play for Flamengo) is old. I wanted and set the goal of my career to reach the top level to be here one day. Today, being able to realize this dream is very good”, he added.

Regarding his physical condition, Allan was confident that he had fully recovered from the lower back injury that had kept him out of action since the start of the season.

The player, however, admitted that he still needs to improve his physical preparation.

« I had an injury that could be considered serious, even for the time I was out, which was four months. Today, I am 100% drawn from the injury, but I need to find my physical part, the rhythm of the game, which is the most important. . But that can only be won by playing,” he stressed.

“The anxiety (to play) is great on both sides. For me, it would have gone to the game on Saturday (against Palmeiras), but I thought it was better to hold back then, God willing, on Wednesday (against Athletico-PR) to be at my best level”, to -he adds.

Bullshit with Gabigol and former colleagues of Atlético-MG

Naturally, Allan received questions about his recent visit to Atletico MGa club that has a great rivalry with Flamengo on and off the pitch.

The steering wheel was asked, for example, about a possible « fight » he had with Gabigol during clashes for Brazil Cup of last year, in which the Rubro-Negro qualified ahead of the Rooster.

At the time, Gabriel said an Atlético player, whom he preferred not to name, « just missed » during the game and « laughed ».

When asked if he would be the athlete in question, Allan preferred to give a fun answer and guaranteed that he now owes everything for Fla, even though his former Galo teammates didn’t like it.

“It’s a good thing he (Gabigol) didn’t give his name… Even if he says it was me, I’ll say I wasn’t (laughs),” he smiled.

“But that (provocations on the pitch) is part of the game. We were rivals at the time, so it’s obvious that one is going to be angry with the other, it’s natural. And it will be the same now when I play there (against Atlético-MG) now… They are going to be pissed at me,” he saw.

“I give my life for my club. It’s my livelihood. I have no reason to relieve an opponent. That its simple crying. Mine won’t cry, no,” he concluded.

Flamengo’s next matches:

• Athletico PR (F) – 07/12, 21:30 (from Brasilia) – Brasileirao

• Fluminense (F) – 07/16, 4 p.m. (from Brasilia) – Brasileirao

• America-MG (B) – 22/07, 4 p.m. (from Brasilia) – Brasileirao

It can probably be said that many people, inside and outside Italy, associate the city of Naples with culinary delights. Now, last year’s Scudetto winner, with outfitter Emporio Armani, offers another treat, this time visual in nature.

Of course, tastes differ. But honestly, just imagining Kvaradona dancing through defenses in one of those stylish jerseys is heartwarming.

And if that wasn’t enough, the historic volcano ‘Vesuvius’, which sits right in front of Napoli, can be seen slightly shadowed on the white away shirt. Tradition, elegance and a symbol of your own city – you should find a fan who takes nothing away from these jerseys.

And three. After 2018 and 2019, Kylian Mbappé offered himself a new “France (Site notre blog d’information)” trophy. Design for the 2022-2023 French season by the jury made up of former winners of this famous trophy, the Paris Saint-Germain striker is only one length away from Karim Benzema (and two from Thierry Henry), crowned four times. As a former winner, the Bondynois also took part in the vote and chose to place Antoine Griezmann at the head of his trio, ahead of « KB9 ». With Bernard Lama, he is the only one to have made this choice.

Arrived very largely in the lead of the votes, Kylian Mbappé therefore gave his preference to his vice-captain in the France team. A choice not necessarily illogical since « Grisou » had a full season with Atlético de Madrid, which also earned him the designation  » player of the year by supporters of his club. For his part, Karim Benzema was much less successful than last year. The 2022 Ballon d’Or was notably deprived of the World Cup following a last-minute injury and did not shine as much with Real Madrid as last season.

Henry in the viewfinder

However, the former Olympique Lyonnais topped the list in the votes of Zinedine Zidane, Jean Petit and Luis Fernandez. Not overwhelming for rivals with Kylian Mbappé. Questioned by France (Site notre blog d’information) during the presentation of his trophy, the one whose future is once again the front page of the transfer window news this summer, obviously does not intend to stop in such a good way in his harvest.  » This is the third time I have won the trophy FF […] How much is the record? Is it Zidane? Finally, note that two voters (Luis Fernandez and Jean-Pierre Papin) did not place Kylian Mbappé in their top three.
