Crystal Palace could have perfect partner for Wilfried Zaha & Eze in Mariano Diaz

It’s not very often we say this, but Steve Parish has a rare chance to give Crystal Palace their dream attack for years to come, if recent reports are to be believed.

What’s the story?

According to Sport, as quoted by Sport Witness, Roy Hodgson’s side have entered the race to sign Mariano Diaz from Crystal Palace.

It’s claimed that Diaz has refused to leave the Santiago Bernabeu for the past two seasons despite being considered surplus to requirements by Zinedine Zidane.

However, he could be offered a way out of Madrid in the not too distant future, with several clubs from across Europe vying for his signature.

Palace will face stiff competition from Premier League rivals Everton and West Ham, as well as French Ligue 1 side Lyon for his services.

Dream attack

Wilfried Zaha is the club’s top scorer in all competitions so far this season, but Hodgson still needs a prolific striker who can shoulder the burden of scoring goals, as Michy Batshuayi has been unable to hit the ground running at Selhurst Park. Diaz is a player who can do precisely just that.

The 27-year-old burst onto the scene at Lyon, where he scored 21 goals and supplied 6 assists in all competitions, before he returned to the Spanish capital in 2018.

Whilst Batshuayi is also right-footed and plays on the right, Diaz, who is the same age as the Belgium international, is a natural goal threat all over the pitch who seems to have no problems at all finding the back of the net.

In just 42 minutes in La Liga last season, he scored one goal, whilst he averaged 1.2 shots per game, via WhoScored. By comparison, Batshuayi has failed to score in the Premier League so far this season, despite the fact he is averaging one shot per game, as per WhoScored.

Meanwhile Zaha has managed 2.3 shots and 1.6 key passes per game in the top flight this term, outscoring the Belgian striker by five goals so far.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas once lauded Diaz as a “powerful” finisher, saying “in the opinion of Zinedine and Karim, he is a player of a very high level. He’s young, powerful and very ambitious. It would be a great coup for Lyon to sign him, and there would not be too much expected of him.”

A strong counter-attacking threat who likes to play short passes and shoot from distance, he could be the final piece of the puzzle to complete Palace’s attack for the years to come, especially when you consider the fact that he would be able to combine with summer signing Eberechi Eze at almost free will, which would give the Eagles another attacking option, as they have often been accused of being too one-dimensional in recent seasons.

However, Sport suggest the outcast won’t come cheap, as Real are refusing to sell him for anything less than their original £25m valuation, whilst he reportedly receives wages worth £142,000-per-week. Whether or not Parish will dip into his pockets remains to be seen.

Alemão renova com o Santa Cruz, elogia diretoria e agradece a torcida

MatériaMais Notícias

Destaque na campanha de acesso à Série A em 2015, o zagueiro Alemão acertou sua renovação de contrato com o Santa Cruz até o fim desta temporada. O defensor elogiou a postura da diretoria, que manteve a base do elenco da temporada passada.

– Não tem como negar que o trabalho da diretoria vem sendo bom. É muito importante a manutenção de uma base, da comissão técnica. No começo do ano passado sofremos com muitos jogadores novos que não se conheciam. Agora será diferente. A diretoria está mantendo jogadores importantes e contratando aquelas peças que vem pra suprir a saída de alguns atletas. Estou confiante para 2016 – afirmou Alemão, agradecendo o carinho da torcida coral:

– Sempre falei que queria renovar e um dos motivos era a torcida. Vim pra cá no fim de 2014 e gostei muito do clube, das pessoas que trabalham no dia a dia. E a torcida é sem palavras, empolgante demais. Acredito que o carinho comigo é pela minha entrega dentro de campo. Não tem como não dar a vida com uma torcida dessa. Desde já convoco todos para nós apoiarem nesse 2016.

Apesar da grande alegria e da importância do retorno à Série A do Brasileirão, Alemão afirma que o Santa que buscar os títulos do Campeonato Estadual e na Copa do Nordeste, competições que, na opinião do zagueiro, devem ser a prioridade deste momento.

– Temos que brigar pelo título estadual e da Copa do Nordeste pois somos favoritos. O Brasileiro temos que esquecer neste momento mesmo sendo o campeonato mais importante. Vamos pensar nele só em maio quando começa – afirmou o zagueiro.

أنشيلوتي يكشف موقفه من إجراء تغييرات في تشكيل ريال مدريد أمام فاييكانو

أوضح المدرب الإيطالي كارلو أنشيلوتي المدير الفني لنادي ريال مدريد، موقفه من إجراء تغييرات في تشكيل ريال مدريد في مباراة الغد أمام رايو فاييكانو في الدوري الإسباني.

ويستقبل ريال مدريد مساء غدًا السبت، على ملعب “سانتياجو برنابيو” نظيره رايو فاييكانو، بالجولة الثالثة عشر من الدوري الإسباني.

وقال أنشيلوتي في المؤتمر الصحفي عشية المباراة: “أريد أن أرى ريال مدريد غدًا يلعب مباراة كاملة، رايو يلعب بشكل جيد للغاية، وأنا أحب ذلك”.

وأضاف: “سنواجه فريقًا يهاجم ويدافع بشكل جيد للغاية، علينا أن نرى ريال مدريد يتكيف مع ما يحدث من مُستجدات في المباراة”.

وتابع: “أنا جيد للغاية ومُتحمس جدًا للعمل مع ريال مدريد، أستمتع بعملي هُنا كل يوم، وفي هذا النادي وهذه المدينة أشعر أنني بحالة جيدة للغاية”.

وبسؤاله عما إذا كان سيجري تغييرات في التشكيل في مباراة الغد: “يتم إجراء التغييرات للحفاظ على دافع اللاعبين ولإعطاء راحة للآخرين، ولا أعتقد أن الفريق مُتعب للغاية، أرى أن كاسيميرو وكروس ومودريتش يلعبون بشكل جيد في خط الوسط”.

وأكمل: “كل مباراة لها خواصها واستراتيجيتها، غدًا ستكون مباراة مُختلفة عن شاختار لأن رايو له خصائص مختلفة”.

وعن نظام لعب فريقه: “يُمكن أن نضع هازارد على اليسار في خطة (4-3-3) وعلينا أن نرى ما إذا كان بإمكانه اللعب على اليمين، نحن لدينا مزيج من اللاعيين، وبعض اللاعبين الصغار، مثل فالفيردي وكامافينجا، وهما محظوظان لرؤية الأفضل في العالم وتعلم الكثير، إنهما حاضر ومستقبل مدريد”.

وعن صافرات استهجان جماهير ريال مدريد في مباراة شاختار: “يجب أن نأخذها في الاعتبار لأن ما يعتقده المشجعون مهم جدًا بالنسبة لنا، نريد أن يكون لدينا مشجعين سعداء وعندما يطلقون الصافرات يكون ذلك لأنه يجب عليك القيام بعمل أفضل”.

وعن مُعاناة الفريق الدفاعية: “مؤخرًا تحسن الفريق دفاعيًا، على الرغم من أنه يتعين علينا تحسين التنظيم بين لاعبي الدفاع، علينا أيضًا أن نأخذ في الاعتبار أننا تلقينا ثلاثة أهداف فقط في المباريات الخمس الأخيرة، لكننا سنواصل التحسن”.

وعن عدم إحراز ريال مدريد أي أهداف من الكرات الثابتة: “نحن لم نسجل بالفعل لكن نحن نعمل على ذلك، لكن لدينا تسديدات جيدة ونعمل على تحسين ذلك، نأمل في إصلاح ذلك قريبًا، العام الماضي مع إيفرتون سجلنا الكثير من الأهداف وهنا علينا التحسن في التمركز داخل المنطقة”.

وأتم تصريحاته بالحديث عن داني سيبايوس قائلًا: “أنا أحبه كلاعب، لقد رأيته كثيرًا في آرسنال، إنه يعود من إصابة كبيرة ويحتاج إلى مزيد من الوقت للعودة”.

موندو ديبورتيفو توضح موقف ريال مدريد من ضم مبابي في يناير

كشفت تقارير صحفية إسبانية، عن موقف ريال مدريد من التعاقد مع الدولي الفرنسي كيليان مبابي خلال فترة الانتقالات الشتوية يناير المقبل.

ريال مدريد يسعى لضم كيليان مبابي بأي طريقة خلال الفترة المقبلة، من أجل تدعيم صفوفه، مستغلًا اقتراب عقد اللاعب من نهايته.

صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية، أكدت بأن النادي الأبيض سينتظر حتى نهاية الموسم وعدم التعاقد مع اللاعب في ميركاتو الشتاء.

ريال مدريد لن يوقع أو يحاول التعاقد مع المهاجم الفرنسي في الشتاء، لأن الإدارة ترى بأنه لا داعي للتسرع، مادام يمكن للملكي ضم كيليان بدون مقابل في الصيف مع نهاية الموسم.

ريال مدريد ينظر لـ مبابي أنه أساس المشروع المستقبلي، وأنه سيستجيب لرغبة النادي الملكي في الفترة المقبلة بألا يتفاوض مع أي نادٍ آخر.

وكان النادي الإسباني يحاول ضم مبابي في الصيف الماضي بشتى الطرق، حيث انتظروا لليوم الأخير رد مالك النادي الباريسي على عرض الـ200 مليون يورو، لكن في النهاية باريس سان جيرمان تمسك باللاعب الفرنسي.

Ronaldinho comenta volta ao Flu para disputa de torneio nos EUA

MatériaMais Notícias

A torcida do Fluminense já sabe que verá Ronaldinho Gaúcho defendendo as cores de sua equipe novamente, por um curto período. E, nesta terça-feira, o jogador reforçou a ligação com o clube. Em sua página numa rede social, ele postou uma foto referente à Florida Cup e comentou o “retorno” ao Tricolor.

– Muito legal participar da Florida CUP, este brilhante torneio que está acontecendo nos EUA. Grandes times envolvidos e toda aquela energia e paixão pelo Futebol que está sempre presente em todos os lugares!! Voltar a vestir a camisa do Fluminense vai ser muito bacana e espero que todos se divirtam e aproveitem muito nesses 10 dias de #FloridaCUP – escreveu.

Sem marcar gols nem dar assistência, o R10 teve passagem apagada pelo clube das Laranjeiras entre julho e setembro de 2015. Ao todo, foram 80 dias na equipe, em um casamento que terminou com o pedido de rescisão do atleta.No entanto, um acordo entre ambos garante a participação de Ronaldinho nos dois jogos em que os comandados de Eduardo Baptista farão nos Estados Unidos, contra Shakhtar Donetsk (UCR) e Internacional.

A primeira partida do Flu pela Florida Cup acontece no próximo domingo (17). Já o duelo com o representante do Rio Grande do Sul está marcado para três dias depois. Atlético-MG e Corinthians são os outros times brasileiros no certame.

Greenwood and Tuanzebe start, Paul Pogba misses out: Manchester United Predicted XI vs Southampton

Manchester United will be all too aware that they can move above Manchester City in the Premier League as they prepare for today’s clash at Southampton.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side currently sit behind City in the table but can move above their fierce rivals if they beat the Saints on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils return to Premier League action for the first time since beating West Bromwich Albion in a 1-0 win at Old Trafford as they travel to St Mary’s to take on Ralph Hassenhuttl’s side, who are unbeaten in their past seven games in all competitions so far this season.

United battered Istanbul Basaksehir on Tuesday evening and may look to keep most of the same team in place for what could be another big game for Solskjaer.

You’d expected United to get at least something against the Saints; after all, they haven’t lost in the last nine times the two sides have met.

Here is our predicted line-up for Manchester United this afternoon.

Solskjaer could hand second-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson his first start for his boyhood club in the Premier League amid reports that he is expected to replace David de Gea between the sticks.

It’s hard to imagine many changes to the back four, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Alex Telles and Harry Maguire likely to start. Maybe Victor Lindelof could keep his place, although there are concerns over his match fitness, so we’re backing Axel Tuanzebe to earn a recall as he has impressed in the Champions League so far this season.

Both Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba reportedly face a race against time to be declared fit to face Southampton at St Mary’s, whilst Jesse Lingard has returned to first-team training after completing a period of self-isolation.

Whilst Sunday’s game may come too soon for Pogba, it’s unlikely the Frenchman will start, which provides Solskjaer with the perfect opportunity to test Donny van de Beek.

Edinson Cavani offered very little going forwards against Istanbul in the Champions League, so switching Marcus Rashford back to the left and bringing Mason Greenwood back into the starting line-up on the right could be a shrewd move, whilst Anthony Martial is likely to lead the line.

Mason Holgate: Ancelotti must unleash “complete" Everton defender on Chelsea

Carlo Ancelotti must unleash Mason Holgate against Chelsea on Saturday after Michael Ball suggested Everton are “afraid” of the Stamford Bridge natives’ offensive strength.

The Toffees welcome Frank Lampard’s title-chasing Blues to Goodison Park this weekend looking to end a torrid run of fixtures that features only one win in their last seven Premier League games.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are pushing Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool for the top spot in the division with just two points separating the three sides after the opening 11 games, with Lampard’s men unbeaten since matchday two.

Ball believes Lampard has got Chelsea playing in a way that can cause Everton a world of pain on Saturday night, as the south west London outfit’s pace in attack and midfield runners are two traits Ancelotti is yet to find a way to beat.

“With Chelsea, they’ve got pace and midfielders with runners. I think they’re the two things we’re afraid of,” former Toffees academy graduate noted in his column for the Liverpool Echo.

“Chelsea’s new signings have come in and hit form now, so we’ll probably be a bit more cautious and not leave space in behind. Michael Keane and Yerry Mina aren’t the quickest.

“A back four, generally, should suit us more – but I understand why we switched to a three. Ben Godfrey came here and obviously didn’t want to sit on the bench, he’s forced his way into the starting line-up, and he needs game time to try and build his partnerships up.”

But with an ankle injury forcing Lucas Digne to undergo surgery and face a potential three months out of action, plus Fabian Delph limping off with a hamstring injury at Burnley on Saturday, Godfrey is now expected to move to left-back when Everton host Chelsea.

Ancelotti doing so could see Everton move back to a four-man defence like Ball believes is best, having favoured that at Turf Moor following Delph’s exit. Yet the Italian tactician should rather unleash Holgate to inject pace into the line alongside Keane and Mina.

Holgate has appeared to lose some of Ancelotti’s backing, despite the former Chelsea head coach lauding the “fighter” as a “complete defender” capable of becoming one of the best in his position earlier in the year, as the 24-year-old has only featured twice since recovering from a pre-season toe injury.

He was also benched for the trips to Fulham and Burnley after featuring against Manchester United and Leeds, as Ancelotti continued to step back and forth on who his favoured centre-half options are.

However Holgate is Everton’s only centre-half option capable of adding pace in front of Jordan Pickford’s goal if Godfrey is moved to left-back, otherwise Ancelotti risks seeing Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount and co. run Keane and Mina ragged at the weekend.

AND in other news, Marcel Brands can land Everton’s new Idrissa Gueye in a £22.8m leader the Toffees’ are monitoring.
