Crystal Palace: Fans react to U18’s win

Plenty of Crystal Palace fans waxed lyrical over the club’s Under-18 side following their 7-1 win over West Brom on Saturday morning.

The Eagles, who also thumped the Baggies 7-1 in the reverse fixture back in March, named a strong line-up for the vital clash. Forward David Omilabu and midfielder Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, both of whom have signed professional deals this season, started for Palace and both netted in a rampant victory.

Palace went behind early on but two goals from Omilabu along with strikes from Rak-Sakyi, Victor Akinwale, Maliq Cadogan, John-Kymani Gordon and Ademola Ola-Adebomi, ensured a big win.

The Eagles sit top of the Premier League Under-18 South table after completing all 24 fixtures and now have to wait on Fulham’s clash with Chelsea next week to see if they will end up in first place. The Cottagers need to defeat their west London rivals in their final game of the campaign to win the league.

Palace fans react

The club shared the full-time score on their official Twitter page just hours before Roy Hodgson’s first team defeated Sheffield United 2-0 at Bramall Lane.

Here is what these Eagles supporters had to say in reply, with one describing the win as ‘unreal’.

Exclusive: Marcus Bent says Ancelotti won’t be tempted by Tottenham job

Former Everton striker Marcus Bent has exclusively told Football FanCast that he’s been reliably informed that Carlo Ancelotti won’t be tempted by the Tottenham job.

Spurs remain in search for someone to replace Jose Mourinho following his departure last month, and the Italian’s name has been ambitiously thrown into the ring.

Reports earlier this year suggested that Ancelotti has admirers at Tottenham but Bent squashed any rumours of the former Chelsea manager taking over in north London.

The 61-year-old has only been in the Goodison Park hot seat for around 18 months, and has improved the squad quite considerably, although Everton’s dreadful home form is likely to cost them a place in Europe next season.

The Toffees have produced some excellent results on the road at Arsenal and West Ham, but their struggles at Goodison Park, most notably the defeat to Sheffield United, have left their destiny out of their own hands heading into the final few fixtures.

But regardless of whether Everton qualify for Europe, Bent told Football FanCast that he’s confident that Ancelotti will be sticking around:

“I spoke to my contacts at Everton, and they said he doesn’t seem the type to walk away from a contract.

“The money he is going to get to spend and the new stadium… I don’t think he will be going to Tottenham.”

Everton eye Kvaratskhelia transfer

Everton are reportedly the main contenders to sign Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the summer transfer window.

The Lowdown: Kvaratskhelia catching the eye

Kvaratskhelia is certainly a player that is quickly catching the eye of many clubs around Europe – he was heavily linked with Leeds last month.

The Rubin Kazan winger is very good with the ball at his feet, so much so that his playing style has even been compared to Lionel Messi, which is certainly something that the Goodison Park faithful can be excited about.

The Latest: Everton main contenders

As per Soccer.ru, Kvaratskhelia does not want to move to Zenit St. Petersburg, and the Merseyside club are currently the main contenders to sign him, although Napoli and AC Milan could also join the race from previous interest.

Nonetheless, a top winger is something that Carlo Ancelotti will surely be looking at in the window, and Kvaratskhelia certainly fits the bill.

The Verdict: Everton must sign Kvaratskhelia

If the Toffees want to climb up the table in the Premier League for next season, then Kvaratskhelia, who is currently valued at £13.5m by Transfermarkt, could well be the difference in the hunt to qualify for European qualification if they fall short this campaign.

The Georgia international has scored four goals and made a further eight assists in 23 games in total over all competitions in the 2020/21 term (Transfermarkt), which is a good return for a wide player, and at just 20 years of age, he will only get better.

Nonetheless, Kvaratskhelia is a player that the Blues should not be passing up on, with several top sides in Europe clearly impressed by his quick feet and sky-high potential.

Meia do Fla admite que equipe estranhou grama sintética da Arena

MatériaMais Notícias

Uma das preocupações do Flamengo para a partida contra o Atlético-PR
era o gramado sintético da Arena da Baixada. Por conta disso, o técnico
Zé Ricardo até comandou alguns treinos visando a adaptação do elenco ao piso. Porém, os jogadores acabaram sentindo a diferença.O meia Alan Patrick admitiu que o time estranhou o campo.

– A gente estranhou um pouco. Durante esses dias de preparação fizemos alguns treinamentos para se adaptar, mas é claro que a gente estranha um pouco – disse o meia na saída de campo para ‘TV Globo’.

O Flamengo sentiu o gramado do Furacão principalmente no primeiro tempo. Ainda se acostumando com o campo, o Rubro-Negro errou alguns passes e domínios de bola. Além disso, o ritmo era mais rápido.

Flamengo vê dificuldades por Vitinho; vice analisa: 'Um investimento difícil'

MatériaMais Notícias

Vitinho está mais distante do Flamengo. Quem admitiu isso foi Flavio Godinho, vice-presidente do Flamengo, durante a inauguração do do CT profissional. Com o desejo do novo técnico do CSKA em contar com o atacante, a possibilidade de um novo empréstimo foi praticamente descartada.

– Vitinho vai voltar ao CSKA, porque eles trocaram de técnico e não podemos esquecer que eles pagaram 10 milhões de euros por ele, o que faz com que qualquer investimento de clubes brasileiros seja difícil. Ou seja, tem que combinar com os russos – disse o vice-presidente do Flamengo, na terça-feira.

Contudo, nem por isso o Flamengo está parado. Enquanto procura alternativas, o Rubro-Negro encaminhou o acerto com o lateral peruano Miguel Trauco. Mas nada de alimentar outros especulações por parte da cúpula rubro-negra.

– Não falo de especulação. O Flamengo está atento em bons nomes, bons jogadores e com oportunidade de negociação de jogadores livres, como casos do Diego e do Guerrero. Não vamos criar falsa expectativa do torcedor – disse o diretor-executivo Rodrigo Caetano, que também esteve presente no CT.

"بطولات" يكشف سبب استبعاد شيكابالا من قائمة الزمالك لمباراة الوداد

قرر الجهاز الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي الزمالك، استبعاد محمود عبد الرازق شيكابالا لاعب الفريق من قائمة الأبيض، استعدادًا لمواجهة الوداد المغربي في بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

ويستعد الزمالك لمواجهة نظيره الوداد المغربي غدًا الجمعة، على استاد القاهرة الدولي، في إطار مباريات الجولة الرابعة من البطولة القارية.

وعلم “بطولات” أن سبب استبعاد شيكابالا من قائمة الزمالك أمام الوداد هو استمرار معاناة اللاعب من الإجهاد في عضلة السمانة وعدم جاهزيته للقاء.

جدير بالذكر أن الزمالك يحتل المركز الثالث في المجموعة الرابعة برصيد نقطتين، فيما يتواجد الوداد في الوصافة برصيد 6 نقاط.

Spurs talks with Rangnick held

According to a report by the Guardian, Tottenham Hotspur have held a conversation with former FC Schalke boss Ralf Rangnick – but it’s ‘unclear’ whether talks were regarding the manager’s job or a director’s position.

The Lowdown: Rangnick on the candidate list

The 62-year-old has been loosely touted as an option over this last month, with the Athletic reporting back in late April that Spurs could indeed turn to Rangnick as credible candidate.

Reliable reporter Christian Falk (via Sport Witness) even claimed that Rangnick was offered the Spurs manager’s job and has held talks with both Manchester United and Everton in past seasons – so he’s no stranger to Premier League discussions.

The Latest: Tottenham hold Rangnick talks

Bringing the latest, the Guardian state there has been a conversation between Spurs and Rangnick – but it remains unclear whether the talks were regarding the managerial vacancy or a director’s position.

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

They relay that the search for a new manager rumbles on but insist Rangnick has indeed been contacted.

As well as Rangnick, they believe Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick has also had talks with Tottenham.

The Verdict: Credible option for Spurs

While it is unclear whether this conversation was over the managerial vacancy, we believe that he more than stands out as a very credible candidate to become the next Lilywhites boss.

Having won two Austrian league titles with Red Bull Salzburg and three major trophies at Schlake (Transfermarkt), Rangnick isn’t exactly short of experience when it comes to winning silverware.

Lauded as a ‘perfectionist’ by former RB Leipzig striker Yussuf Poulsen (ESPN), the Independent claimed back in 2019 that Rangnick was interested in succeeding Mauricio Pochettino at Spurs.

He has been credited as a huge influence on some of the biggest managerial names in football, including Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel (ESPN).

Dubbed the godfather of gegenpressing, we believe Rangnick and Tottenham are a match made in heaven.
