Ucapan Presiden Interim Ini Buka Peluang Messi-Neymar Kolaborasi di PSG

BARCELONA – Neymar Jr mengungkapkan keinginannya kembali bermain dengan Lionel Messi (Barcelona), tak lama kelar laga Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) vs Manchester United. Hanya saja, Neymar tidak mengungkap secara pasti akan berkolaborasi dengan Lionel Messi di mana, PSG atau Barcelona.

“Satu hal yang paling saya inginkan, adalah menikmati bermain satu lapangan dengannya (Messi) lagi. Saya ingin bermain dengannya, tahun depan kami harus melakukan itu,” kata Neymar mengutip dari ESPN.

Peluang Neymar dan Lionel Messi berkolaborasi di Barcelona sangat-sangat kecil. Menurut presiden interim Barcelona, Carles Tusquets, Barcelona hanya bisa mendatangkan Neymar Jr dengan status bebas transfer.

Menjadi masalah karena kontrak Neymar bersama PSG berakhir pada 30 Juni 2022, bukan musim panas 2021. Dalam pengakuan Carles Tusquets, Neymar bisa berlabuh di Estadio Camp Nou asalkan presiden baru Barcelona nantinya dapat melakukan keajaiban.

“Neymar bisa ke Barcelona asalkan didatangkan secara gratis. Kecuali, presiden baru Barcelona selanjutnya dapat melakukan keajaban,” kata Carles Tusquets mengutip dari The Sun, Jumat (4/12/2020).

Ucapan Tusquets di atas mengindikasikan sulit bagi Barcelona mendapatkan jasa Neymar Jr. Karena itu, paling masuk akal adalah melihat Lionel Messi berlabuh di markas PSG, Stade Parc des Princes.

Sergio Ramos Calls Emergency Team Meeting Amid Exit Rumours

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos called an emergency team meeting on Thursday to discuss his side’s poor form, encouraging his teammates to get behind manager Zinedine Zidane. However, rumours persist that Ramos himself is ready to leave Madrid at the end of the season.

Ramos’ Madrid have struggled in 2020/21, losing three of their ten opening ten La Liga games and sit seven points behind leaders Real Sociedad.

In the Champions League, Los Blancos could yet do the unthinkable and exit at the group stage, with their progression dependent on the final round of fixtures next week.

34-year-old Ramos has been absent since the international break, after suffering a hamstring injury on Spain duty, watching on as Madrid lost back-to-back games against Alaves and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Some reports even claim that Zidane could be sacked if Real Madrid fail to progress to the last 16 of the Champions League.

To that end, Ramos gathered his teammates for what AS call an emergency meeting on Thursday, without the manager in attendance.

It is understood that Zidane still has the support of the core group, which includes Luka Modric and Marcelo.

AS claim that Ramos told his teammates to give an ‘extra push’ until the new year.

Meanwhile, however, Onda Cero’s Jose Ramon de le Morena claims that Ramos, whose contract expires in 2021, is entertaining offers from abroad, namely from Italy and England.

It is even said that currently ‘Sergio Ramos’ thought is to leave Real Madrid’. However, that could all change as negotiations with the club over a renewal continue.

90min reported Each of the Premier League’s ‘big six’ sides have expressed an interest in signing Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos should he choose to leave Spain.

By the time next summer arrives, the world-class Ramos will have spent 15 years at the Bernabeu and he has already won five La Liga titles, two Copas del Rey and four Champions League trophies.

基翁：阿森纳得延续出色状态，踢热刺不能打5后卫

12月04日讯?今日凌晨，阿森纳在欧联小组赛第五轮在酋长球场2000名球迷的见证下4-1击败维也纳快速，继续延续着球队在欧战赛场上的出色状态，赛后著名前枪手球员基翁也对此表示希望球队能够在英超联赛中继续延续球队的出色状态，球队若想在周末的北伦敦德比中取胜，就必须要保持进攻的流畅性。

基翁表示：“对于阿森纳上周输给狼队的比赛，我唯一能说的就是我认为球员们似乎不再享受足球了。”

“阿尔特塔在温格和瓜迪奥拉身边过，温格就是一个注重创造性，追求享受足球的教练。”

“在球队今晚的比赛，他们再一次找回了状态，但他们必须将这种出色的状态得以保持。周末的北伦敦德比他们有压力，但是他们必须去享受比赛。赢球和享受比赛之间有一个平衡，这就是如今球队需要的。”

据统计，自2014年以来，阿森纳在英超赛场从未能在客场击败热刺，但基翁对此表示：“阿尔特塔知道如今球队必须要赢得这场比赛，尽管阿尔特塔现在的处境有些艰难，尽管热刺本赛季表现十分出色，但我认为球队一定会从这场比赛中收获些东西。”

“穆里尼奥是一个十分优秀的教练，他让热刺逐渐地站稳了脚跟，如今他们全队都在不断努力。但阿森纳同样需要在北伦敦德比中得到一个好的结果，然后重整旗鼓继续前进。”

对于北伦敦德比基翁认为如果阿森纳想要取得比赛的胜利，球队需要在后防线上派出4名后卫而不是打5后卫阵型。

基翁对此补充道：“我预计阿森纳会在对阵热刺的比赛中掌握控球的主动权，但他们如何去试着攻破热刺的大门，这是一个问题，切尔西此前在比赛中没能找到办法，阿森纳必须要为此找到解决办法。”

“球队在对阵维亚纳快速的比赛中排出的阵型将比排出5后卫阵型更有效，今晚的比赛中阿森纳有很多的射门机会，我相信我们会看到一个更好的阿森纳。”

Paul Scholes hy vọng Greenwood có thể học hỏi từ Cavani

Huyền thoại của Manchester United kỳ vọng vào Mason Greenwood sau khi 2 tiền đạo của Quỷ Đỏ gây thất vọng đêm qua.

Kể từ lúc Romelu Lukaku rời đi, Manchester United đã gặp rất nhiều khó khăn khi thiếu vắng một tiền đạo cắm đúng nghĩa trên hàng công. Và dù được HLV Ole Gunnar Solskjaer đặt rất nhiều kỳ vọng, nhưng Marcus Rashford hay Anthony Martial vẫn không thể trở thành một “số 9” đúng nghĩa.

Chia sẻ về vấn đề này, huyền thoại Paul Scholes cho rằng Martial và Rashford đã không học hỏi được gì từ Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Bên cạnh đó, ông còn chỉ ra “niềm hy vọng” mới dành cho hàng công của Quỷ đỏ. Scholes nói với BT Sport:

“Chúng ta đã nói rất nhiều lần về việc Man United không có một “số 9” đúng nghĩa. Cavani là một “số 9″ thực thụ, nhưng cậu ấy có thể chỉ ở đây trong một hoặc hai năm. Chúng ta cũng từng trải qua tình trạng này với Zlatan vài năm trước.”

“Ý tôi là, liệu Rashford và Martial có phát triển thành một tiền đạo trung tâm, một “số 9″ hay không?”

“Tôi nghĩ, cả hai đều nghĩ rằng mình là một “số 9″, nhưng với tôi, Rashford và Martial đều là những cầu thủ chạy cánh rất nguy hiểm. Họ có học hỏi được gì từ Zlatan không? Tôi không chắc.”

“Bây giờ thì chúng ta hy vọng Mason sẽ học hỏi được điều gì đó từ Cavani.”

“Tôi nghĩ, trong số ba người họ thì Mason là người có khả năng dứt điểm tốt nhất. Cậu ấy có nhiều cơ hội hơn hai người kia để thực sự phát triển thành một “số 9″ đúng nghĩa.”

Dortmund mara pusingan 16 terakhir

Dortmund: Borussia Dortmund mara ke saingan 16 terakhir Liga Juara-Juara walaupun kapten Lazio, Ciro Immobile menjaringkan penalti babak kedua untuk seri 1-1 ketika menentang bekas kelabnya di Jerman.

Keputusan di Signal Iduna Park bermakna Dortmund memerlukan kemenangan di Zenit St Petersburg pada Khamis depan untuk mara sebagai pendahulu Kumpulan F.

Lazio yang menduduki tangga kedua dan satu mata di belakang Jerman turut mara jika mereka seri di tempat sendiri menentang Club Brugge.

Immobile yang gagal menyerlah di Dortmund pada musim 2014/15 meledak penalti pada minit ke-67 untuk menyamakan kedudukan selepas Raphael Guerreiro meletakkan tuan rumah di hadapan sejurus sebelum tamat babak pertama.

“Kami tidak berhak kalah selepas apa yang dipamerkan pada babak kedua,” kata Immobile kepada Sky.

“Mara ke pusingan 16 sangat bagus, kami hanya selangkah ke arah itu, sesuatu yang gagal dilakukan Lazio dalam tempoh 20 tahun,” kata jurulatih Lazio, Simone Inzaghi.

Kalah dari PSG, Man United Bidik Kemenangan di Markas RB Leipzig

MANCHESTER – Hasil negatif yang dipetik Manchester United saat menjamu Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) sedikit menghambat ambisi mereka untuk lolos dari Fase Grup Liga Champions 2020-2021. Namun, kekalahan dengan skor 1-3 itu belum mengubur peluang untuk melenggang ke fase knockout.

Pertandingan di Stadion Old Trafford itu seharusnya memuluskan jalan Man United lolos ke babak gugur Liga Champions 2020-2021. Sebab, Marcus Rashford dan kawan-kawan hanya membutuhkan hasil imbang saja untuk lolos.

Sayangnya, bukan itu yang terjadi. Man United justru tumbang dengan skor 1-3 dari PSG sehingga harus melalui partai penentuan pekan depan melawan RB Leipzig. Kembali, Setan Merah hanya perlu hasil imbang untuk memastikan tempat.

Akan tetapi, membidik hasil imbang di kandang lawan jelas sangat riskan. Karena itu, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tetap menargetkan kemenangan saat bertandang ke Jerman. Sebab, itu merupakan partai penentuan nasib Man United di Liga Champions.

“Kami sudah mengalihkan perhatian ke pekan depan. Kami masih harus pergi ke sana dan membawa pulang sesuatu. Kami mengikuti sebuah pertandingan sepakbola dengan keinginan menang,” tegas Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, dikutip dari laman resmi Man United, Kamis (3/12/2020).

“Menurut saya, pertandingan melawan PSG dan Leipzig di kandang sudah menunjukkan seberapa jauh perkembangan tim ini. Anak-anak sudah berkembang pesat dalam pertandingan seperti ini,” imbuh pria berkebangsaan Norwegia itu.

Twitter Reacts to Chaotic Manchester United Champions League Defeat to PSG

Manchester United and PSG served up a wonderfully chaotic 90 minutes of Champions League football on Wednesday evening as the French champions ran out 3-1 winners at Old Trafford.

United were on top for much of the game but had Fred sent off with 21 minutes remaining and a brace from Neymar ultimately condemned the Red Devils to defeat, leaving Group H fascinatingly poised going into the final round of fixtures.

PSG took the lead after six minutes, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe combining neatly before the former tucked home at the near post.

United should have been a goal and a player down when Fred appeared to head butt Leandro Paredes. The referee went to check the monitor, initially couldn’t find the monitor and eventually opted to give the Brazilian a yellow card. The pair then continued to scrap for the rest of the first half.

Fred was treading a fine line and United fans were insistent he should have been replaced ASAP. But Ole knows best and I’m sure no harm came of it.

Not to be outdone, Scott McTominay and Neymar then enjoyed a little scrap of their own after the Brazilian forward found himself on the receiving end of a thumping sliding tackle, with a petulant argument between the pair continuing into the tunnel at half time.

United came out all guns blazing in the second half with the game there for the taking. Edinson Cavani struck the cross bar with a fabulous chip, and Anthony Martial saw two terrific opportunities go begging.

But with the Red Devils comfortably the better side, PSG then inevitably took the lead once more, Marquinhos poking home from a corner.

And just to rub salt into the wound, having not been sent off for something he did do in the first half, Fred was sent off for something he didn’t do in the second after being judged to have caught Ander Herrera with a late tackle.

This instantly begged the question as to why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had not taken Fred off at half time, with the United midfielder treading on thin ice for most of the game with Nemanja Matic sat on the bench.

United continued to push for an equaliser, before Neymar wrapped up the victory in style for PSG. The forward shimmied past a handful of United defenders on the halfway line, charged into the box and applied the finishing touches to the move that he started.

Filth. Any silver linings, Ole?

霍德尔：就目前来看，切尔西比皇马和巴萨更出色

12月03日讯?今天凌晨结束的一场欧冠小组赛的较量中，切尔西4-0战胜塞维利亚。前英格兰主帅霍德尔在BT体育的节目中表示，就目前来看，切尔西比皇马和巴萨更出色。而且，等球迷回来之后，他们还能拿出更好的表现。乔-科尔认同霍德尔的观点，并表示蓝军是欧洲目前状态最好的球队之一。

霍德尔说：“看看现在欧冠赛场上的一些队伍。很显然，曼城和利物浦肯定会全力去争夺欧冠，他们也有实力。不论他们有没有明确说出来，曼城的首要目标肯定是拿到欧冠冠军。”

“而且你也不能忽视拜仁，因为他们太强了。但与此同时，切尔西也值得被提及。在我看来，现在的切尔西比皇马和巴萨更出色。这是两家超级俱乐部，但这支切尔西比他们更强。”

“就目前来说，我觉得切尔西给自己设定的最低目标都应该是进入半决赛。半决赛之后的比赛，一切都有可能发生。”

“而且随着赛季的不断深入，球员们的状态也会越来越好。此外，到时候如果球迷都能回来看球了，球场坐满人了，球员们能踢得更好。”

“我们还没见过这支切尔西在观众爆满的球场里踢球，越是优秀的球员，在这种场合下，越是容易拿出更优异的表现。这支切尔西，还能做得更好。”

一同参加节目的乔-科尔也对切尔西能够轻松战胜训练有素的塞维利亚感到印象深刻。他说：“他们无所畏惧，也是英超第二年轻的球队。我觉得霍德尔说得没错。”

“你可能会想：‘尤文和巴萨依然很有竞争力。’但如果仔细看看这两家俱乐部，眼下他们都有点问题。尤文有点混乱，巴萨同样如此。至于皇马，他们的主帅现在都和下课传闻联系在了一起。”

“这次欧冠赛事，每支球队都有机会。曼城以及利物浦也有机会。甚至还可能出现一种情况，4支英超球队杀入最后的四强。”

“看看那些已经晋级的球队，我觉得没有哪支球队会让我为切尔西感到担忧。我觉得切尔西就是目前状态最好的球队之一，已经15场不败了。”

“现在这支切尔西，一切看起来都很美好。”

霍德尔还谈到哈弗茨，并表达了对他的期待：“我觉得他想对自己的一些队友，有更多的了解。在我看来，哈弗茨的切尔西生涯还没有真正开启。”

“之前他在德甲效力的时候，我们已经知道他有多出色了，看过他的很多精彩表现。他是不同级别的球员，但就目前来说，他还没有拿出更高水平的发挥。”

Những điều đáng chờ đợi trong cuộc đón tiếp PSG của Manchester United

Rạng sáng mai, Manchester United sẽ tiếp đón PSG trên sân nhà trong trận đấu quyết định chiếc vé đi tiếp của cả PSG và Manchester United. Với Manchester United sẽ là mục tiêu có ít nhất 1 điểm, còn với PSG là mục tiêu 3 điểm để chắc chắn đi tiếp. Và những điểm nhấn sau đây sẽ làm cho cuộc đối đầu này trở nên thú vị.

Edison Cavani cùng Ander Herrera đều đã có những kỷ niệm đáng nhớ trong sự nghiệp ở Paris Saint Germain lẫn Manchester United. Họ đều là những cầu thủ được yêu quý tại các đội bóng cũ. Lần này, rất có thể Cavani sẽ được ra sân để đối đầu với đội bóng cũ, đây sẽ là một cơ hội tuyệt vời để Cavani chứng minh PSG đã sai như thế nào khi không để anh trở thành trọng tâm của đội bóng.

Còn về phần Ander Herrera, đây là lần đầu tiên anh trở lại Old Trafford sau khi ra đi ở mùa giải năm ngoái. Anh rất được lòng cổ động viên ở đây, tuy nhiên trận đấu này vẫn chưa có thể có khán giả.

Trong những trận đấu lớn, Manchester United vẫn rất hay sử dụng sơ đồ 3-5-2 để có thể có được thế trận phòng ngự thực sự tốt và có được những tình huống phản công nhanh với khả năng chuyển đổi trang trái của Bruno Fernandes và tốc độc của Rashford cũng như Martial. Manchester United cũng có được sự trở lại của Paul Pogba và Fred cũng như McTominay. Tuy nhiên, với một thế trận sẽ nghiên về phòng ngự để lấy ít nhất 1 điểm, rất có thể Matic hoặc McTominay và Fred sẽ xuất phát ngay từ đầu.

Cách đây 2 mùa giải, Tuchel đã giành chiến thắng xuất sắc trên sân Old Trafford đang rối loạn sau khi Mourinho rời đi. Đấy là một trận đấu mà Di Maria đã thi đấu cực kỳ xuất sắc với 1 bàn thắng và 1 kiến tạo. Tuy nhiên lần này, đối đầu lại với Manchester United sẽ rất khác khi đội bóng của Solskjaer đã có bổ sung những bản hợp đồng cực kỳ chất lượng và hướng đến một kết quả có lợi trong trận đấu này.

Đây sẽ là một câu hỏi khó khăn cho Ole Gunnar Solskjaer khi các tiền đạo của ông đang không có được phong độ tốt. Đặc biệt là Martial, tiền đạo người Pháp vẫn chưa có bàn thắng tại Premier League trong mùa giải này. Còn Greenwood vẫn chưa có được cảm giác chân tốt nhất sau những trận đấu vừa qua. Có vẻ như tiền đạo người Anh vẫn chưa hết tâm lý sau cái chết của người bạn thân.

Cavani đang có một phong độ miễn chê tại Premier League, anh đã có 3 bàn thắng trong 3 trận đấu gần đây tại Premier League. Anh sẽ phải đối đầu với đội bóng cũ và với quyết tâm của mình, rất có thể Cavani có thể ra sân ngay từ đầu. Tuy nhiên tiền đạo người Uruguay không phải mẫu cầu thủ phù hợp để đá phản công, nên vị trí này sẽ làm Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rất đau đầu.

Trong những buổi tập gần đây, Pogba đã trở lại tập cũng các đồng đội. Không rõ mức độ chấn thương của cầu thủ người Pháp, tuy nhiên việc anh trở lại sẽ giúp cho Manchester United lên tinh thần và cung cấp cho HLV Solskjaer thêm những bài vở chiến thuật để có thể thay đổi. Pogba sẽ là một thay đổi quan trọng của MU nếu như họ cần tấn công.
