Sergio Reguilon endured a night to forget as Spurs beat Royal Antwerp

Tottenham Hotspur left-back Sergio Reguilon has indisputably been one of their standout performers so far this season, but on Thursday evening he endured a rare night to forget.

Jose Mourinho’s side defeated Royal Antwerp to leapfrog them into first place in Group J, meaning they’ll be seeded for the Europa League round of 32.

Whilst Spurs were victorious in north London, it wasn’t the most thrilling, entertaining or even best display and that much was summed up by the Spaniard’s performance.

Valued at €70m (£64m) by CIES, Reguilon was one of the few who kept his starting place from Sunday’s win over arch-rivals Arsenal, though by half-time, he was hauled off by the Portuguese boss.

Indeed, he received the lowest rating of any Spurs player (6.5) and was awfully lightweight in possession.

Per SofaScore, Reguilon won just 33% of his duels, lost the ball eight times and made just five passes. Even Joe Hart recorded more touches than the 23-year-old despite playing between the sticks, a role that shouldn’t see him more involved than the industrious left wing-back.

The Evening Standard graded him a five out of ten, claiming that Regulion “didn’t get forward enough” before he was replaced at half-time.

Whilst some will believe that the decision was down to keeping an eye on Crystal Palace this weekend, the former Real Madrid ace was still woefully poor for perhaps the very first time this season, and it would have left his manager fuming.

Reguilon has been a popular figure on and off the pitch as football.london’s Alasdair Gold revealed earlier in the season that “everyone loves him” in training whilst the £25m signing has quickly become a fan-favourite with supporters.

With Ben Davies pulling off an impressive display at left centre-back and then at full-back, it could give Mourinho plenty to ponder in terms of team selection, especially when coming up against Wilfried Zaha and then Mo Salah.

The Welshman would offer a more defensively-sound presence, that’s for sure.

AND in other news, Spurs could find their own Timo Werner in “stone-cold” EFL star…

William Storey can kick-start Sunderland’s promotion party with cunning ploy

It’s now been close to a year since Stewart Donald first claimed he’d look to sell Sunderland but we’re not really any closer to reaching a conclusion.

It was reported last month that the Oxford-born businessman had agreed a deal with Juan Sartori and Kyril Louis-Dreyfus but evidently, it’s not been wrapped up yet.

Another interested party is Rich Energy CEO, William Storey.

The former Haas F1 investor has been very outspoken about his desires to buy the football club and after a long-winded interview with The Chronicle, it appears as though he’s already got plans in place for what he’d do at the Stadium of Light.

You have to credit it him because it genuinely looks as though he’s got Sunderland’s best interests at heart. However, all of his words and planning could be thrown out the window if it’s Dreyfus who ends up with the keys to the Stadium of Light.

One strategy Storey wants to implement if he walks through the door is something that falls into recruitment. He admitted last weekend that he wants to bring as many as five players currently at Premier League clubs to the north-east.

Of course, they won’t be established individuals but instead players under the age of 23 that reside in academy sides. Now, this may not sound like the smartest of ideas on paper given their relative inexperience but when it comes to the financial side of things, it’s incredibly cunning.

Sunderland are currently restricted by the EFL’s new salary cap – something the club voted against before it was introduced – and thus, they won’t be able to do too much in the January window.

However, as Storey concludes, these younger players are on smaller wages and would be easier to bring to the Mackems.

If Sunderland aren’t going to sell Aiden McGeady – someone on £31k-per-week – they will need all the financial help they can get. Of course, Storey would bring new investment with him but that’s not going to stop the club from crossing the line in terms of the salary restrictions.

The Black Cats may need to get rid of a few players but it is evident Storey knows the context of the club and how they can get around it.

“Academy players are on much lower money, that’s number one. The average Academy player in the Premier League wouldn’t be breaking the salary cap,” he stated.

It’s very shrewd and Sunderland could well give themselves a giant push towards promotion if they implement this successfully.

AND in other news, Sunderland can find another Semenyo if they swoop for gem with “lots of pace”…

فيديو | تريزيجيه يُسجل هدفين رائعين في تدريبات أستون فيلا قبل مواجهة كريستال بالاس

تألق جناح الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي أستون فيلا ومنتخب مصر، محمود حسن تريزيجيه، في تدريبات الفيلانز صباح اليوم، الثلاثاء، مع عودته للتو بعد التعافي من الإصابة.

وكان تريزيجيه يخوض رحلة طويلة من العلاج بسبب إصابة بقطع في الرباط الصليبي قد تعرض لها في أبريل الماضي في مباراة ليفربول ببطولة الدوري الإنجليزي.

ولكن المصري الدولي قد عاد إلى التدريبات بعد التعاقد مع المدير الفني الجديد للفريق، ستيفن جيرارد، ليكون بديلًا للمدرب السابق دين سميث، الذي تمت إقالته لسوء النتائج هذا الموسم.

ونشر الحساب الرسمي لنادي أستون فيلا على “تويتر” فيديو مصور يظهر تريزيجيه فيه وهو يحرز هدفين رائعين ليؤكد على جاهزيته للمشاركة في المباريات القادمة.

وكتب الحساب الرسمي للنادي الإنجليزي: “أهلًا أهلًا أهلًا بأعز الحبايب”.

ويستعد أستون فيلا مع جيرارد لمواجهة كريستال بالاس في الجولة الثالثة عشر من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز يوم، السبت المقبل، في تمام الساعة الخامسة مساءً بتوقيت “القاهرة”.

باو توريس: حين يتعلق الأمر بركلة جزاء ضد برشلونة لا يتم مشاهدة اللقطة

أبدى باو توريس، لاعب فياريال الإسباني، اعتراضه على التحكيم في مباراة فريقه أمام برشلونة التي جمعتهما ليلة السبت في منافسات الليجا.

وحقق برشلونة فوزًا على فياريال بنتيجة (3-1) في الجولة الخامسة عشر لليجا، وجاء الهدف الثالث من ركلة جزاء أحرزها فيليب كوتينيو.

وقال باو توريس في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية: “استغرق الأمر 10 دقائق لمشاهدة تسلل، لكن حينما يتعلق الأمر بركلة جزاء ضد برشلونة، لا يتم مشاهدة اللقطة”.

وأضاف: “لم يتم احتساب ركلة جزاء ضد برشلونة هذا الموسم، ركلة جزاء ولا أوضح ضد بيكيه لم يتم احتسابها لنا”.

وأتم باو توريس: “نحن الفريق الوحيد الذي لم يتم منحه ركلة جزاء هذا العام ولا شيء ضد برشلونة، كان ذلك مستحيلاً”.

Liverpool transfer target David Alaba showed his class for Bayern Munich vs Mainz

Liverpool are reportedly one of the sides interested in signing David Alaba from Bayern Munich in the summer when his contract with the Bundesliga side expires and if his recent performance against Mainz is anything to go by, he would be a superb signing for the Reds.

According to Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano in The Guardian, the Reds are pushing hard to sign the Austrian international this summer, although Real Madrid are currently leading the race, as they seek a replacement for the seemingly outgoing Sergio Ramos.

Whilst Romano suggests a January move is unlikely, which is a blow for Jurgen Klopp’s side due to their current injury crisis in defence, they should still be doing everything they can to sign the £58.5 million-rated centre-back on a Bosman transfer next summer.

Alaba’s superb ability on the ball was exemplified by his excellent performance in Bayern Munich’s 5-2 win against Mainz recently, with the 28-year-old helping to build attacks from the back with his world-class passing ability.

As per SofaScore, Alaba would have 108 touches of the ball against Mainz, completing an impressive 97 passes from the 105 he attempted, resulting in a pass accuracy rate of 92%.

He is also willing to take a risk with his long balls, something Liverpool have arguably been lacking in the absence of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, and eight of the 12 he attempted during the 90 minutes would find a Bayern Munich shirt.

Although Hans Dieter-Flick’s side found themselves 2-0 down at half-time, this was more to do with Jerome Boateng having a nightmare than Alaba being poor defensively, as they fought back to win 5-2 once Boateng was replaced by Niklas Sule at half-time.

During Pep Guardiola’s time managing the Austrian international, he was full of praise for him, saying:

“He’s an unbelievable talent. He can play anywhere. He’s quick, good in the build-up and always 100 per cent focused. Without doubt he can be one of the best centre-backs in the world. He’s a huge gift for Bayern.”

Therefore, with Alaba’s versatility and experience, he would be a world-class addition to Klopp’s side in the summer and would work superbly alongside the more physically dominating Van Dijk.

Corinthians acerta com décimo reforço e fecha elenco para 2016

MatériaMais Notícias

O zagueiro Fabián Balbuena será o décimo reforço do Corinthians para a temporada. Antes do paraguaio, o clube já havia contratado Douglas, Vilson, Moisés, Willians, Marlone, Guilherme, Giovanni Augusto, Alan Mineiro e André.

Com isso, a diretoria alvinegra diz que fechou o elenco para a temporada. Na visão dos dirigentes, já houve a reposição dos jogadores que deixaram o elenco. O Corinthians perdeu seis atletas que terminaram 2015 como titulares (Gil, Ralf, Renato Augusto, Jadson, Malcom e Vagner Love), além de Edu Dracena, que era o reserva imediato da zaga.

– A vinda de um zagueiro encerra o planejamento que vem sendo conversado desde janeiro, com as saídas dos atletas, alguns até de forma inesperada. Não é que estamos fechando a porta. Caso apareça alguma oportunidade, vamos melhorar nosso elenco. Estamos de portas abertas e atentos ao mercado – afirmou o diretor adjunto de futebol do Corinthians, Eduardo Ferreira, em entrevista na última sexta-feira

Segundo o dirigente, todos os pedidos de Tite foram atendidos.

– Por posições – ressaltou.

Eduardo Ferreira, por sua vez, também disse que “o Corinthians está aberto a uma oportunidade de mercado”. O discurso do dirigente foi repetido por Tite, que pede calma na reconstrução da equipe para a temporada.

Veja a situação dos reforços que já chegaram:

Douglas:Não será aproveitado e deve ser emprestado. Corinthians procura interessados no goleiro.

Vilson:Atualmente é o reserva imediato na zaga. Concorrência aumenta com chegada de Balbuena.

Moisés: Lateral-esquerdo também não foi inscrito no Paulistão. Com Uendel titular, Guilherme Arana é o reserva imediato.

Willians: Emprestado pelo Cruzeiro até o fim do ano, volante estreou no jogo contra o Grêmio Osasco Audax. Será utilizado durante a temporada.

Marlone: Tem entrado durante o segundo tempo, mas a concorrência é grande.

Guilherme:Também estreou contra o Grêmio Osasco Audax e foi elogiado pelo técnico Tite.

Giovanni Augusto: Foi apresentado na última sexta-feira e ficará à disposição na próxima rodada.

Alan Mineiro:chegou acima do peso e não foi inscrito no Paulistão. Não será aproveitado.

André: assinou na sexta-feira, deverá ser apresentado nesta segunda e ficará à disposição.

Com defesa em alta, Denis diz que SP não repetirá erros do 6 a 1

MatériaMais Notícias

A maior vítima do Corinthians em sua casa é também um dos jogadores mais experientes do São Paulo hoje e consciente de que não dá para repetir os erros que levaram ao fatídico 6 a 1, no Brasileiro do ano passado, na mesma Arena. Na última quarta-feira, contra o César Vallejo (PER), Denis chegou a cem jogos pelo Tricolor, marca que dá confiança para escrever uma história diferente na casa do principal rival.

– Era preciso esperar o César Vallejo, em que tínhamos a necessidade de vencer e classificar. Depois é que pensamos no clássico. Trabalhamos duro para acertar os erros e fazer uma boa apresentação. Nosso time está mais organizado, mais compacto e está trabalhando desde a pré-temporada para jogar melhor e entrar mais ajustado em campo. Não vamos cometer os mesmos erros – garantiu o arqueiro, ao LANCE!.

Denis também não procura dar bola para o histórico na Arena Corinthians. Prefere minimizar os números e focar em seu papel dentro de campo. Com a aposentadoria de Rogério Ceni, é o novo dono da meta quem possui a responsabilidade de orientar os companheiros atrás.

– Sou o que mais sofreu gol, mas um dos que mais jogou. E o único que sofre gol é goleiro, não tem como trabalhar com essa estatística. Eu sempre deixo os números de lado. A minha preocupação maior é orientar a defesa para que o time possa jogar compacto como tem atuado. Vamos ver o que o Bauza vai passar para a equipe para fazermos um bom jogo e sairmos com a vitória – salientou o arqueiro são-paulino.

O goleiro pode não gostar de números, mas nem todos estão contra o São Paulo. O início desta temporada, por exemplo, já possui um alento. Com apenas dois gols sofridos em cinco jogos, a defesa tem o melhor início de ano desde 1999.

É um início promissor principalmente no primeiro ano sem o capitão Ceni. A defesa tem se saído bem, mesmo com baixas. Hoje à tarde, Breno e Lugano seguirão fora do time. O uruguaio ainda treina para ficar em condições de reestrear. Rodrigo Caio e Lucão devem formar a zaga titular. É a mesma que iniciou o 6 a 1 no ano passado.

Neste ponto, como Denis gosta, é melhor esquecer o passado. Domingo é dia de escrever uma nova história. Tudo começa lá atrás.

DEFESAS SÓLIDAS

1999
O São Paulo naquele ano bateu Bayer Leverkusen (ALE), Flamengo e Botafogo sem ser vazado. Contra Olimpia (PAR) e Corinthians, também venceu, mas sofreu gols de Torres e Marcelinho Carioca, respectivamente.
………………….
2016
O Tricolor de Edgardo Bauza venceu Cerro Porteño (PAR), Água Santa e César Vallejo (PER) sem sofrer gols. Roger, de pênalti, para o Red Bull Brasil, e Hohberg, em chutaço de fora da área para o Vallejo, foram os únicos a vazarem o São Paulo.
