تجنبًا للإيقاف أمام ليفربول.. أرتيتا يدافع عن جيسوس قبل الديربي ضد توتنهام

دافع ميكيل أرتيتا عن المهاجم جابرييل جيسوس حيث يخاطر هداف أرسنال بإيقافه في ديربي شمال لندن المرتقب.

سجل المهاجم البرازيلي أربعة أهداف منذ وصوله من مانشستر سيتي، مما ساعد آرسنال على الصعود إلى قمة جدول الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز بعد سبع مباريات.

لقد حصل أيضًا على أربعة إنذارات، وإذا تلقى بطاقة صفراء أخرى ضد توتنهام هوتسبير يوم السبت ستبعده عن مباراة الدوري الإنجليزي المهمة على أرضه أمام ليفربول في 9 أكتوبر.

وأشار أرتيتا إلى أن فريقه لم يحالفه الحظ مع عرض بعض البطاقات للاعب البالغ من العمر 25 عامًا، ومع ذلك، فقد أكد أنه من طبيعة جيسوس أن يلعب بالطريقة التي يعمل بها.

وقال أرتيتا لوسائل الإعلام في مؤتمره الصحفي قبل المباراة: “هناك توازن ضعيف، بطبيعة مركز جيسوس لديه الكثير من الاتصال ويضع قدمه وجسده عبر الخط في أي موقف”.

وأضاف الإسباني: “كنا غير محظوظين بعض الشيء بكمية البطاقات الصفراء التي حصل عليها، لا يمكننا إنكار بعضها لأنها كانت تأديبية بعض الشيء، لكن نعم، نريد تجنب ذلك”.

بعد الابتعاد عن المشاكل في أول مباراتين لآرسنال هذا الموسم، حصل جابرييل جيسوس على أول بطاقة صفراء له في ناديه الجديد في الانتصار في أغسطس على بورنموث.

تبع ذلك ثلاث مباريات أخرى في مباريات الدوري الأربع التالية، بما في ذلك آخر مرة ضد برينتفورد.

يخوض أرسنال أول ديربي له في شمال لندن هذا الموسم متقدماً بنقطة واحدة على منافسه، وسيتصدر توتنهام إذا فاز، لكن ثلاث نقاط لفريق أرتيتا ستضمن إنهاء صدارة الدوري في نهاية الأسبوع بغض النظر عن نتيجة مانشستر سيتي أمام مانشستر يونايتد يوم الأحد.

كما تحدث أرتيتا في المؤتمر الصحفي لإلقاء مزيد من الضوء على توقيع جيسوس، الذي استهدفه توتنهام أيضًا قبل اختيار الانضمام إلى آرسنال.

وأوضح أرتيتا: “أجرى إيدو حديثًا معه ليصف ماهية المشروع، وما الذي يدور حوله نادينا والدور الذي سيلعبه في نادينا، لقد تحدثت معه أيضًا، لذا فقد كان جهدًا جماعيًا وفهم جيسوس بوضوح ما نريد القيام به”.

واستطرد: “العلاقة التي تربطنا به [من وقتهما معًا في مانشستر سيتي] ساعدت كثيرًا لأن هناك ثقة وهذا الارتباط بالفعل، وبعد ذلك يعود الأمر تمامًا للاعب لاتخاذ القرار”.

وأكد: “كنا متفائلين حقًا ورد فعله الفوري كان إيجابيًا للغاية، بعد ذلك، كان هناك الكثير من الخطوات التي يجب أن تسير في الاتجاه الصحيح لوضع اللمسات الأخيرة والحصول على توقيعه، ولكن لكي نكون منصفين جعل جيسوس الأمر سهلاً للغاية بالنسبة لنا”.

Journo reveals Barkley return to Everton

Everton have been going through a serious injury crisis this season, with the problems hitting their peak when twelve players were missing from the squad when they snatched a draw from Chelsea a few weeks ago, and now the Toffees have the opportunity to look to the transfer window to add players in an attempt to rescue their Premier League campaign in the second half of the season.

What’s the word?

The Daily Telegraph reporter Mike McGrath has revealed that Everton could be looking at offering Ross Barkley a loan deal. He took to Twitter to confirm that Everton are considering a short term return;

“Everton consider return for Ross Barkley #EFC”

He then went on to add to the rumour in an article for the Telegraph, writing;

‘Barkley who left Goodison Park for Chelsea four years ago, could be allowed to leave on a short-term deal if Thomas Tuchel feels he has numbers to cope with a busy schedule of fixtures.’

Barkley has made eleven appearances for the west London club so far this season across all competitions, being patched into the team as they continue to suffer from injury issues to key players.

If Tuchel was willing to let the midfielder go on a loan deal to Everton he could find himself playing more football and establishing himself as a player that Chelsea can rely on in the future, or a few months of first-team football with Everton could offer him the opportunity to attract a permanent move elsewhere.

Is it the right move?

The 28-year-old attacking midfielder had 179 appearances, 27 goals and 28 assists for the Toffees before he left in the January transfer window of 2018 for a fee of £15.8m, and his experience in the Premier League could really benefit the current Everton side who are struggling to find consistency and form in the league, lacking creativity and goals to take them over the line for three points in games with the side gaining only five wins from seventeen games.

Everton have expectations of finishing in the top half of the table, as close to the European spots as possible.

However the side have conceded eight more goals than they have scored this season so far, which is a statistic that is not reflected in the current top seven teams in the Premier League who have all scored more goals than they have conceded, with that being said, this is a problem Benitez will need to fix fast and Barkley could be that quick fix with his previous experience in creative attacking play at the club.

The Toffees have had their last two games postponed against Burnley and Newcastle but are due to play Brighton at Goodison Park on Sunday, where Benitez will be hoping to pick up his first three points since they beat Arsenal almost a month ago.

Having a new playmaker with vast experience in the Premier League like Barkley could be exactly what the Toffees need to get back firing up the table. We’ve seen the impact that someone like Demarai Gray has had on the team, so Benitez should be trusted with the former Goodison Park favourite.

Sem Hernanes, vai quem? Profetinha, Júnior e Gomez 'mostram' credenciais

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Paulo completou um turno inteiro com Hernanes, mas, neste domingo, após 19 jogos seguidos, Dorival Júnior não poderá contar com seu principal jogador. O Profeta, artilheiro e capitão do time, recebeu o terceiro cartão amarelo e cumprirá suspensão, diante do Botafogo, no Pacaembu. Lucas Fernandes, Júnior Tavares e Jonatan Gomez são os principais candidatos a substituir um dos destaques do Campeonato Brasileiro.

O camisa 15 é determinante à equipe, e não só pelos nove gols e três assistências que deu nesta sua volta ao clube. Para livrar o time do rebaixamento no Brasileiro, o meio-campista arrisca bastante, tanto que só o centroavante Pratto tem mais finalizações do que ele: são 90 do argentino, contra 52 de Hernanes, sendo 23 certas (44,2%) e 29 erradas.

Veja abaixo os números do Footstats dos concorrentes à vaga do Profeta em comparação às estatísticas do incontestável titular de Dorival Júnior:

Matthew Wade and Andrew McDonald sealed a five-wicket win that took Victoria to second on the one-day table. On a difficult day for batting, the Bushrangers used their local knowledge to reach their rain-reduced target of 213 with 10 balls remaining.Wade top scored with 50 off 68 balls, leaving with two runs to get, while McDonald was unbeaten on 42 as they recovered from Nathan Bracken’s double-strike that left them at 4 for 110. Both sides have a game remaining in the group stages but Victoria are now in a strong position to make the final as they hope to add the FR Cup to their Twenty20 win.The Bushrangers’ initial target of 225 was cut after a rain break and when the players returned David Hussey motored ahead. Hussey took charge with 45 off 40 balls, but Bracken enticed him to hit to deep cover and the next ball Aaron Finch went for 44 to a poor pull shot. New South Wales were unable to follow up with more pressure, but it was really their batting that let them down.Phil Jaques overcame an early hit to the helmet to produce the most fluent innings for the Blues and when he left for 60 off 65 the rest struggled to match his tempo. Jaques had extra responsibilities as Phillip Hughes was unable to score at a run every two balls throughout his 44, but the Blues lost 4 for 34 after Jaques was caught at long-on.The wicket was the first for the impressive Bryce McGain, who worked well in tandem with Brad Hodge as the pitch slowed when the ball softened. McGain had 3 for 37 off 10 overs, picking up the No.3 Steven Smith and Hughes, who was brilliantly taken by a diving Hussey at mid-on. Hodge returned 1 for 31 off nine with his gentle offspin, including the important bowled of Simon Katich on 2.Moises Henriques and David Warner both went skying attempted big shots and Dominic Thornely’s 32 was the third-best contribution. Dirk Nannes, who had rattled Jaques’ helmet, also made life difficult for the tail as he collected 3 for 40.

Felipe Melo torce por Valentim: 'Não quer ser mais estrela que jogador'

MatériaMais Notícias

Felipe Melo foi à sala de imprensa da Academia de Futebol nesta quinta-feira para pedir que a torcida do Palmeiras “abrace” Roger Machado, técnico que dirigirá a equipe em 2018, mas aproveitou para fazer elogios e desejar boa sorte a Alberto Valentim. Com o interino, ele voltou a ser titular quase quatro meses depois de ser afastado do elenco por Cuca.

– Quando você pega um treinador que não quer ser mais estrela que jogador, é muito importante. É um cara que cobra, disciplinador, mas não quer ser mais estrela que jogador. Isso acabou, treinador estrela, que fala muito… Eu espero do fundo do meu coração que Deus possa abençoar e abrir portas para ele, porque vai dar o que falar pela inteligência dele. É um cara entendedor do que faz – elogiou o camisa 30, que defendia a efetivação do auxiliar.

– Eu, particularmente, sou a favor de renovação. Era a favor do Valentim, um cara de quem eu gosto muito, mas acho que não tem que ter muita lamentação, porque o futebol é assim. Hoje estou aqui, amanhã não sei. Foi assim com outros treinadores e vai ser assim – comentou.

A diretoria do Palmeiras ofereceu a Alberto Valentim a possibilidade de voltar à função de auxiliar em 2018. A resposta ainda não foi dada, mas deve ser negativa. A ideia dele é iniciar de vez a trajetória como treinador no próximo ano. Antes disso, comandará o Verdão nas duas rodadas finais do Brasileiro.

Phillips talks up Gomez-Aston Villa move

Aston Villa would be wise to make a move for Liverpool centre-back Joe Gomez as a replacement for Azel Tuanzebe, according to Kevin Phillips.

The Lowdown: Villa linked with Gomez move

The 24-year-old has found it difficult to get regular minutes for the Reds this season, appearing for just 14 minutes in the Premier League.

Villa have been linked with a move for Gomez in the January transfer window as Steven Gerrard looks to strengthen his squad between now and the end of the season.

With Tuanzebe set to leave Villa and join Napoli on loan, a centre-back may well be needed this month.

The Latest: Phillips talks up possible Gomez move to Villa

Speaking to Football Insider, Phillips talked up the idea of Villa acquiring Gomez’s services.

After Gerrard admitted that “we would be delighted to keep [Tuanzebe]” and “we just hope we have the opportunity”, the former Sunderland striker stated: “He’ll definitely need a new centre-back. Whether Joe Gomez happens, I’m not sure. It’d be a great signing.

“But when managers speak like that, ultimately it looks like the player will be moving on. Then, it will be a priority to get a centre-half through the doors”

The Verdict: Tough to see happening

Gomez is a top-class defender who has won both the Premier League and Champions League with Liverpool, being hailed as ‘sensational’ by Jurgen Klopp.

He could be an exceptional signing for Villa despite some sizeable injury problems, but it is hard to see the Reds allowing the England international to leave.

With Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip both now in their 30s, Gomez will surely be viewed as a future regular if he can stay fit, and even a loan move could feel needless after the Reds’ centre-back shortage last season.

Villa may well need to look elsewhere if they intend to add to their ranks in this department during the month.

Spurs celebrity can’t believe Markanday news

Taking to Twitter, broadcaster, author and Tottenham Hotspur fan Greg Jenner has commented on a Tottenham Hotspur exit development involving young winger Dilan Markanday.

The Lowdown: Spurs in Markanday exit talks…

As per reliable reports, Tottenham are in talks with Blackburn over an exit for the Lilywhites starlet with Sky Sports revealing that the 20-year-old could now leave.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/spurs-latest-updates-5/” title=”Spurs latest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Alongside Sky, reliable reporter Dan Kilpatrick of The Evening Standard claims that a deal could be announced next week as with the fee to believed to be around £500,000 – which could rise to over £1 million with add-ons.

The Latest: Jenner reacts…

In reaction to this development, Jenner, a BBC broadcaster, claimed Spurs letting the talent go is a real ‘waste’.

“What?! That’s bizarre – he’s clearly a big talent,” the BBC Sounds host explained.

“And we have a striker crisis. Why haven’t we been playing him instead of very very young Dane Scarlett? What a waste!”

The Verdict: Agreed…

Making his senor debut this season in the Europa Conference League, Markanday has come on leaps and bounds at Spurs, even scoring an incredible 12 goals and five assists in 14 Premier League 2 starts.

The homegrown ace could’ve been a star in years to come but manager Antonio Conte’s use of a three-of-the-back formation makes Markanday’s inclusion as a winger difficult to say the least.

Lilywhites supporters will be disappointed to see him leave but will be interesting to see how he adapts to England’s second tier.
