Lemina signing could lead to Hughes exit

Watford have been linked with a move for Mario Lemina recently, and if he were to join Xisco Munoz’s side this summer, it could lead to Will Hughes’ exit from Vicarage Road.

According to Calciomercato, the Hornets have joined the race to sign the Southampton midfielder after he was a regular on loan at Fulham last season as they were relegated back to the Championship.

The Craven Cottage outfit would have had an option to buy the former Juventus man had they managed to preserve their Premier League status, but their relegation means that the Gabon international is now back on the market again this summer as Southampton look to cash in on him permanently after sending him out on loan in recent seasons.

During his time with Fulham, Lemina made 28 appearances in the top flight, contributing only one goal and zero assists and averaging a less than impressive 6.60 rating from WhoScored for his performances.

The report suggests that Watford have already seen a swap deal rejected, so it seems as if they will have to pay somewhere close to his current market value of £9m if they want to bring him to Vicarage Road this summer.

Although his time at Southampton has been something of a disaster, Lemina’s spell at Juventus emphasises that he is not short of ability. Indeed, his impressive performances at Marseille under current Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa earned him that move to England, with the Argentine manager singing his praises in 2015 by saying: “He is a different type of footballer to the majority of footballers.

“He knows how to attack and defend. He offers a lot of solutions to the coach and his team.”

Therefore, if Lemina can rediscover the form he showed before his move to Southampton, then he could be an excellent addition to Munoz’s side, even if it means Hughes potentially departing Vicarage Road. The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away this summer after his impressive performances helped the Hornets to win promotion last season.

Although few Watford fans would want to see the former Derby ace depart, the potential signing of Lemina could well lead to his exit from Vicarage Road this summer, when you consider that they would both play similar roles in Munoz’s side.

Pratto elogia futebol do São Paulo, mas diz que placar poderia ser maior

MatériaMais Notícias

Pela quarta vez nesta temporada, o centroavante Lucas Pratto deixou a sua marca com camisa do São Paulo. Desta vez, a vítima foi o ABC, na vitória por 3 a 1, em duelo válido pela partida de ida da Terceira Fase da Copa do Brasil. Apesar do bom jogo e da vantagem, o argentino queria mais.

O Tricolor pressionou o adversário durante todo o confronto, levando perigo em inúmeras oportunidades. Pratto acredita que o time poderia ter criado um confronto maior para o duelo de volta, em Natal, mas elogiou o desempenho do conjunto.

– O time está bem, estamos melhorando, hoje não demos tantos contra-ataque, acho que poderíamos tem feito mais gols, mas o time jogou bem, é seguir trabalhando – afirmou o atacante na saída de campo.

Os elogios para a equipe não pararam por aí. Com um time cada vez mais entrosado e mostrando futebol vistoso, Lucas Pratto já projeta a recompensa no fim da temporada.

– Estamos goleando, criando situações de gol, mostrando um futebol sólido, com regularidade, nós sabemos que os times mais regulares serão os campeões no fim do ano, agora é continuar trabalhando e evoluindo – comentou.

A partida de volta contra o ABC pelo confronto da Terceira Fase da Copa do Brasil será realizada na próxima quarta-feira, no Frasqueirão, em Natal.

Sonho, briga e mudanças: os bastidores do empate do Santos

MatériaMais Notícias

O Santos deixou o gramado do Estádio Nacional do Peru para o intervalo perdendo por 1 a 0 para o Sporting Cristal e sem amostras de que poderia igualar o placar. Porém, os 15 minutos de descanso foram essenciais para o Peixe mudar sua postura.

Os primeiros minutos de intervalo foram tensos entre os santistas. Thiago Maia e Lucas Lima chegaram a discutir no vestiário, ante do técnico Dorival Júnior tomar a frente da conversa com o grupo. No entanto, o gol que recolocou o Alvinegro na partida foi justamente com uma assistência do camisa 10 e com a bela conclusão do volante.

-Abafei muito, discutimos no vestiário e acabei dando passe para ele. Pegamos confiança no jogo e a equipe subiu o nível – disse Lucas Lima ao Fox Sports, antes do complemento de Thiago Maia:

-Foi um momento de sangue quente, falamos besteiras, mas acho que isso fez ele dar o passe para mim (risos). Ele e o Renato são insubstituíveis – pontuou o camisa 29.

O jovem volante, que só tem três gols na carreira, ainda revelou que sonhou com o gol.

-Eu tinha sonhado com o gol. Fiz um gol para a minha namorada. Sonhei que fiz um gol por cima do goleiro – confessou.

Em campo, outro fator que fez a diferença além da injeção de ânimos foi o dedo do técnico Dorival Júnior. Vitor Bueno e Copete deram lugar a Vladimir Hernández e Bruno Henrique, respectivamente.

As alterações, anteriores ao gol de empate, ocorreram pois o Santos buscava velocidade pelos lados. Hernández, que estreou pelo Peixe na quinta-feira, participou da troca de passes na jogada do gol.

Bruno Henrique teve tudo para deixar o dele. O camisa 27 venceu a marcação de dois adversários, roubou uma bola, mas perdeu a passada ao se adiantar.

O Peixe volta a campo no domingo, contra o São Bernardo, fora de casa, pelo Paulistão. O técnico Dorival Júnior ainda não confirmou se vai mandar a campo o time titular no Estadual.

Aston Villa: Fans react to club tweet about Grealish and Mings

Many Aston Villa fans have been venting on Twitter following a post from the club detailing the disappointment suffered by Villa duo Jack Grealish and Tyrone Mings after England’s crushing Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy.

Plenty of discourse centred around the lack of utilisation in relation to Grealish, who registered 19 goal contributions in 26 appearances for the club in 2020/21 [Transfermarkt].

In the 172 minutes that he played at the Euros, the 25-year-old contributed with two assists in five outings [UEFA.com] and played a cameo yet important role in England’s run to the final.

Meanwhile, Mings started the first two group games at the finals but played just 11 minutes thereafter and was not utilised at all in the knockout stages [Transfermarkt].

The comparative lack of involvement for the Villa duo at Euro 2020 duly had many of the club’s supporters venting at England manager Gareth Southgate.

Aston Villa fans react:

Replying to Villa’s official Twitter account, here is what some Villa fans had to say about the lack of minutes for Grealish and Mings at Euro 2020:

“Don’t worry lads, Southgate will be gone soon enough and then you won’t have to put up with his pathological picking of his favourites. How Mount got more minutes than Jack is utterly beyond belief, last night was embarrassing and showed us just how inept Southgate is”

Credit: @CreaneyTom”Criminal that Grealish got less minutes than Mount, who got more minutes than Grealish, Sancho and Foden combined”Credit: @tom_avfc1″They were both mismanaged, get them back to VP under a proper coach Dean Smith”Credit: @ClassyHenri”No other country in the world would leave Jack on the bench. Very proud of how our captain conducted himself. #UTV”Credit: @AndyCWelch”Your Villa family are incredibly proud of you both.”Credit: @Helen_Villa44″Not sure how Mount is above Grealish in the England pecking order.

Lymington to put pressure on leaders Easton

Easton & Martyr Worthy are currently 12 points clear of United Services at the top of the Southern Electric Premier League Division 2 – but their lofty status could be put under pressure at Lymington, 1pm

Mike Vimpany (as published in Daily Echo)28-Jun-2002Easton & Martyr Worthy are currently 12 points clear of United Services at the top of the Southern Electric Premier League Division 2 – but their lofty status could be put under pressure at Lymington, 1pm.The villagers have lost their West Indian all-rounder Keith Brewster, who has received an army posting to Scotland, and play on Lymington’s flat batting strip without effective opening bowler Trevor Yates, who picked up a leg injury last week.Lymington, in a mid-table fifth spot, are an unpredictable side, packed with batting and three spin bowling options.Lower-order performer Mike West underlined his pedigree with a sparkling century for Lymington in midweek – but whether it gets him a higher slot in the batting order remains to be seen.Lymington name a squad of 13, as teenage middle-order batsman Matt Malloy damaged a finger dropping a catch in midweek and may be ruled out.United Services go to Sparsholt, whose ranks are weakened by the absence of bowlers Mike Ball (groin) and Carl Nicols (broken toe), who both pulled up lame in last week’s 345-run mauling by Old Tauntonians & Romsey.Key all-rounder Ian Tulk is unavailable for OTs derby at Winchester, while Hampshire 2nd XI coach Tony Middleton plans to delay selection for the Academy’s home match against relegation troubled Trojans on the Rose Bowl Nursery ground.Middleton, who helped engineer a dramatic one-wicket win at US last week, has several of his more experienced teenagers back from university and may give James Schofield a break from league action.South African medium-pace bowler David Pryke has been re-registered by Hungerford and may play against bottom side Rowledge.Alton, who climbed to the Premier Division 3 summit by beating St Cross Symondians last week, expect off-spinner Matt Ireson back against Leckford, who ran up 334 last week. Spinner Chris White misses Leckford’s visit to the Jubilee Ground.Purbrook, beaten by both Bashley II and Paultons in the past fortnight, aim to halt a hat-trick of defeats at Hartley Wintney, who are scoring plenty of runs – but regularly concede 200-plus totals themselves.Hampshire’s Jimmy Adams expects to get the St Cross call at Hambledon, while in-form Bournemouth University graduate Paul Batchelor takes over from Saints skipper Jason Dodd as third-placed Flamingo bid to make it five wins in a rowagainst Waterlooville.New Milton’s Division 3 bid was knocked off course by Bashley (Rydal) II last week, so victory at Paultons tomorrow is essential if a promotion challenge is to be sustained.But Paultons are unpredictable. Struggling for runs all season, they posted 275 to knock Purbrook off the top of the table last week.Shock side Bashley II, who have gunned down both Purbrook and New Milton in the past fortnight, go to Hursley Park, with bottom side Redlynch & Hale preparing to go to Ventnor without several first choice players.

ميرفي يحذر ليفربول من مستقبل محمد صلاح الغامض: لا أحد يعرف ما يفكر به

حذر لاعب وسط نادي ليفربول السابق، داني ميرفي، من مستقبل جناح الفريق الأول لكرة القدم، محمد صلاح، الغامض مع اقتراب عقده على الانتهاء في قلعة “أنفيلد”.

وينتهي عقد محمد صلاح مع ليفربول في 30 يونيو 2023، وهناك مفاوضات بين الطرفين ولكن معقدة بسبب طلبات الفرعون المصري المادية والتي تصل إلى راتب أسبوعي قدره أعلى من 400 ألف جنيه إسترليني.

وتحدث ميرفي عن وجهة نظره في تصريحات لشبكة “TribalFootball.com”، وقال: “آمل حقًا أن يبقى محمد صلاح في ليفربول، لسبب واضح ألا وهو أنه لاعب رائع للغاية”.

وتابع: “لقد كان لاعبًا مميزًا، وتجاوز توقعات الجميع بعد انتقاله إلى ليفربول”.

وأضاف: “ما يفعله محمد صلاح مع ليفربول من الصعب تعويضه وسيكون مكلفًا للغاية للنادي، لذلك آمل أن يستمر”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “إذا كان هناك وقت مناسب أشعر فيه بتوقيع محمد صلاح على العقد الجديد سيكون الآن، آمل أن أكون مخطئًا في مشاعري، لكن ربما كان لديه تطلعات مختلفة، لا أعرف هذا، لكن ربما لديه رغبة في خوض تحدٍ مختلف”.

واستمر: “من الصعب أن تكون محل شخص آخر، وتفكر فيما يفكر فيه، لأن كل شخص لديه أفكار خاصة به، أي فريق كان يحبه في الطفولة وما هي طموحاته”.

وأكمل: “بالنسبة لي كنت أرغب في اللعب مع ليفربول، وإذا كان محمد صلاح أحد سكان هذه المدينة سيتمنى البقاء، لكنه ليس كذلك، ولا نعرف ما يفكر فيه أو ما يقوله له وكيله أو المقربون منه”.

وأتم: “بدأت أشعر بالقلق لأن التجديد لم يتم حتى الآن، لكن في بعض الأحيان قد تستغرق المفاوضات وقتًا طويلًا للتوصل إلى اتفاق”.

Presidente da Chapecoense admite contato com Emerson Sheik

MatériaMais Notícias

Contrariando a assessoria de imprensa da Chapecoense, que nega o interesse no atacante Emerson Sheik, o presidente do clube,Plínio David De Nes Filho, confirmou que o clube e o veterano de 38 anos já conversaram sobre um acerto.

– Eu não vou esconder de ninguém. O Emerson Sheik tem conversado, especialmente com o Departamento de Futebol, sobre a possibilidade de eventualmente participar em 2017 das cores do verde da nossa Chapecoense. Mas, não tem nada certo, não.Eu gosto de ser franco, sincero, não tem nada certo. Há uma intenção. Se concretizada, será bom para os dois- revelou o mandatário em entrevista ao SporTV.

Um pouco mais cedo, o empresário do atleta, Reinaldo Pitta, afirmou que as partes conversam desde antes do Carnaval. De acordo com o agente do atacante, há chances de ele ir, sim, para o Verdão do Oeste.

– Estamos conversando com a Chape desde antes do Carnaval. Existem questões a serem tratadas entre as duas partes, mas temos conversas adiantadas com a Chapecoense. Hoje, existe a possibilidade de o Emerson vestir a camisa da Chapecoense – comentou, em entrevista ao site UOL.

Emerson Sheik está sem clube desde dezembro, quando não renovou o seu contrato com o Flamengo. Também jogou por Fluminense e Corinthians, onde chegou a ter o seu nome ventilado para voltar nesta temporada. Também foi especulado no Atlético-PR.
