Liverpool: Fans speculate over Jurgen Klopp’s Origi comments

A lot of Liverpool fans have been speculating over Divock Origi’s future in response to a tweet from The Athletic’s James Pearce, in which he shared comments from Reds manager Jurgen Klopp about the Belgian forward. 

Origi hasn’t played a very prominent role for the Reds of late, with the 25-year-old having made just five appearances for the 2019/20 Premier League champions so far this season.

He didn’t even make Liverpool’s bench for their most recent top-flight game, Sunday’s 4-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Klopp has now revealed that he wasn’t absent from the squad for that game due to injury, which suggests that the German manager believes other options are simply better than Origi at the moment. 

So, how did these Liverpool fans react to Klopp’s comments on Origi?

A lot of Reds fans have been responding to Pearce’s tweet to speculate over the £14.4m-rated man’s future, calling for the Belgium ace to be sold and discussing the ‘strange’ issue of his lack of playing time. One supporter admitted Origi is forever a ‘legend’ due to his iconic goals against the likes of Everton, Barcelona and Tottenham. 

In other news, Liverpool are allegedly interested in making a move for Paulo Dybala.

Stuart Armstrong can be the key to unlocking West Ham’s defence on Tuesday

Southampton will be looking to bounce back after their Boxing Day draw with Fulham by picking up all three points when they face West Ham at St Mary’s on Tuesday.

A win will see the Saints keep pressure on the top four after what has been an excellent start to the season for the South Coast club, although they will be without usual goal threat Danny Ings for the game against David Moyes’ side.

Therefore, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side will be reliant on other players to break the deadlock against the Hammers, and right-midfielder Stuart Armstrong could be the man to expose a weakness in the West Ham side.

Moyes’s side will be without usual left-back Arthur Masuaku, as he is still recovering from the knee injury that has kept him out for much of December.

The DR Congo international has been one of the Hammers’ best performers in the top-flight so far this season, averaging a strong 6.87 rating, so he will be a big miss for the London club.

With Aaron Cresswell having been deployed at centre-back for much of the season, Moyes is without any sort of senior back-up to Masuaku at left-back, with 20-year-old Ben Johnson featuring as a left wing-back in their 2-2 draw against Brighton recently.

Whilst he scored in that game, the fact he is a natural right-back suggests that he could be someone that Hasenhuttl should target, as he is inexperienced and playing out of position.

Therefore, if he plays there again on Tuesday, Armstrong could well be the man to take advantage, as if he can get into one-on-one situations with the youngster and get the better of him, it’s likely to create chances for the Southampton forwards.

Back in 2017 Brendan Rodgers was full of praise for the Scottish international, who reportedly earns £50,000-a-week at St Mary’s, during his time at Celtic, saying:

“To play at the highest level, you want to be effective. You want a midfielder who has a high level of technique, has mobility to run and be physical — and Stuart has all of that.

“He has big, big qualities that can really set him up in the game. He’s improving all the time.”

Therefore, if Johnson features as a left-back again on Tuesday, then it would not be a surprise to see Armstrong have a real impact on the game against the Hammers.

محمود فايز: شيكابالا مكانه في برشلونة.. ومروان محسن مع منتخب مصر كان مثل فيرمينو في ليفربول

قال محمود فايز المدرب المساعد بالجهاز الفني السابق لمنتخب مصر، إن اللاعب محمود عبد الرازق شيكابالا كان من المفترض أن يتواجد ضمن صفوف ريال مدريد أو برشلونة.

وأضاف فايز في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر فضائية “أون تايم سبورتس”: “كل الظروف توفرت لـ شيكابالا، كان متواجدًا في أكبر أندية مصر، وشارك في بطولات كثيرة جدًا، وأتيحت له فرصة أن يحترف بالخارج وهو صغير في السن وينضم لأندية كبيرة مثل برشلونة، ولكنه لم يساعد نفسه”.

وتابع: “مروان محسن كان يقوم بدور مهم جدًا لمنتخب مصر، بتحركاته وفتح المساحات وإتاحة الفرص أمام محمد صلاح، فريق ليفربول كان يستغل مو بهذا الشكل، وفيرمينو كان يقوم بنفس الدور تقريبًا”.

وأردف: “أما عن أزمة حسام غالي، فقد كانت مختلفة، كان لا يحب طريقة هيكتور كوبر، كان يريد وضع مقترحاته بشكل أكبر في طريقة لعب منتخب مصر”.

واستكمل: “الأزمة التي حدثت لم تكن مع أسامة نبيه ولكن كانت مع كوبر، وهو الذي أصدر قراره في الأمر وقال لا أريد حسام غالي في الفترة الحالية لأنه يمتلك بعض اللاعبين القادرين على تنفيذ طريقة لعبه”.

واستطرد: “مع احترامي لحسام غالي هو لاعب كبير جدًا، ومن أفضل اللاعبين الذين كان يراهم كوبر، وأعلى فنيًا من إبراهيم صلاح، ولكن الأخير كان يقوم بدور تكتيكي يريده المدرب الأرجنتيني”.

واختتم: “أسامة نبيه اقترح على كوبر استغلال حسام غالي في مركز صانع الألعاب، ونبيه ظُلم بشكل كبير جدًا في هذا الأمر”.

Jean teve seu nome publicado no Boletim Informativo Diário (BID) da CBF na tarde desta quinta-feira e já está entre os atletas registrados pelo Palmeiras na Federação Paulista de Futebol. Com isso, o volante está libertado para estrear pelo Verdão no domingo, contra o Botafogo-SP, pela estreia do Paulistão.

O meio-campista, que assinou até o fim de 2019, era um dos quatro jogadores que ainda não tinham aparecido na lista da FPF. Moisés, Erik e Rafael Marques são os outros, mas a expectativa é de que isto aconteça ainda nesta semana.

Embora o registro do quarteto tenha aparecido depois do dia 22, data limite para inscrição de atletas visando a estreia no Paulistão, o Palmeiras deu entrada na documentação de todos antes do prazo, e por isso acredita que eles vão ficar à disposição de Marcelo Oliveira já neste fim de semana.

Último reforço do Palmeiras para 2016, Jean viajou ao Uruguai e apenas participou do jogo-treino contra o River Plate (URU). A intenção da comissão técnica era deixá-lo pronto fisicamente para o confronto com o Botafogo. Caso seja realmente relacionado, o camisa 17 deve ficar no banco de reservas.

Nesta quinta, os clubes precisam entregar a primeira lista dos inscritos para o Campeonato Paulista – caso não coloquem os 28 de cara, as equipes podem acrescentar atletas até o fim de fevereiro.

Determinação! Após gol, Gegê quer voar alto no Botafogo

MatériaMais Notícias

Criticas e falta de paciência por parte de alguns alvinegros são uma constante na ainda curta carreira de Gegê. Autor de um dos gols que ajudaram o Botafogo a vencer, por 2 a 1, a Portuguesa na terça-feira, o meia está, aos poucos, mostrando seu futebol e conquistando espaço no time do técnico Ricardo Gomes. Concentrado em dar seu melhor a cada jogo, o meia admite que sonha em um dia jogar na Europa, ganhar títulos e ouvir o seu nome gritado pela torcida nas arquibancadas.

– Todo jogador tem essa vontade e o prazer de ouvir a torcida gritando o seu nome. Mas isso vai ser de uma forma natural e com um tempo. Se acontecer um dia vou ficar muito feliz, por enquanto, vou trabalhar bastante. Penso em ganhar um título importante pelo Botafogo e em jogar na Europa. É um sonho, né? Seria muito bom para mim como jogador e como pessoa. Quem sabe lá na frente essas coisas acontecem – projetou Gegê, que completou no domingo 22 anos, dez deles no Botafogo.

Titular há dois jogos e cheio de moral com o treinador, o meia não se ilude e afirma que precisa trabalhar bastante para manter suas boas atuações. Determinado, Gegê explica que uma de suas metas para o ano de 2016 é conquistar seu espaço na equipe principal.

– Eu trabalho bastante para isso. Todo jogador almeja ser reconhecido, se firmar, ser titular da equipe e ficar assim durante o ano. Vou trabalhar bastante para que isso aconteça nesta temporada. A minha maior meta é me manter no time, ficar entre os titulares, jogar o máximo de jogos possível para eu poder sempre estar ajudando o Botafogo. Não penso tanto em fazer gols, eles são uma consequência – afirmou o apoiador.

أتلتيكو مدريد يضرب قادش برباعية ويطارد ريال مدريد على صدارة الدوري الإسباني

انتصر فريق أتلتيكو مدريد، بأربعة أهداف مقابل هدف على نظيره قادش، في المباراة التي جمعت بينهما مساء اليوم الأحد، على ملعب “واندا متروبوليتانو”، ضمن لقاءات الجولة الخامسة عشر من الدوري الإسباني.

انتهى الشوط الأول من المباراة بالتعادل السلبي بين الفريقين، ولم يتمكن هجوم أصحاب الأرض من هز شباك الحارس جيريمياس ليديسما على مدار الـ45 دقيقة الأولى.

وفي الشوط الثاني، تمكن توماس ليمار من إحراز الهدف الأول لأتلتيكو مدريد بعد عرضية من كاراسكو، حولها الفرنسي برأسه في الشباك بالدقيقة 56.

وفي الدقيقة 70 أضاف الدولي الفرنسي أنطوان جريزمان الهدف الثاني لـ أتلتيكو مدريد، بأسيست من الإسباني ماركوس يورينتي.

وبعدها بست دقائق، سجّل الدولي الأرجنتيني أنخيل كوريا بأسيست من البرازيلي ماتيوس كونيا، ثم في الدقيقة 86 اهتزت شباك أتلتيكو مدريد بهدف عكسي، سجّله السلوفيني يان أوبلاك بالخطأ في مرماه، وبعدها بدقيقة تقدم أتلتيكو مُجددًا في النتيجة بهدف رابع عبر ماتيوس كونيا.

فوز أتلتيكو مدريد جعل رصيد بطل الدوري الإسباني، 29 نقطة، ليرتقي الروخي بلانكوس لوصافة الدوري الإسباني، فيما توقف رصيد قادش عند 12 نقطة بالمرتبة السابعة بالليجا.

Klopp handed huge injury boost with Diogo Jota ahead of schedule

Jurgen Klopp’s injury woes look to have eased somewhat after it was revealed that Diogo Jota could return to action this month, despite it having been previously suggested that he could be out until February.

The Portuguese winger made a superb start to life at Anfield following his summer arrival from Wolves, grabbing nine goals for the Reds in all competitions.

The 24-year-old was perhaps expected to be a back-up to the front three at first but clearly won over Klopp with his excellent form and he quickly established himself as a starter at the Merseyside club.

However, disaster struck when he was injured in the Reds’ final Champions League group fixture against FC Midtjylland, with a knee problem reportedly set to keep him out until February.

Fortunately for the German manager, who has seen his side slip to consecutive draws against West Brom and Newcastle, journalist James Pearce has now confirmed that Jota is making good progress with his injury and could be back in action by late January.

The Reds were desperate for some quality from the bench against Newcastle and West Brom recently but with Klopp reluctant to turn to Divock Origi, Xherdan Shaqiri and Takumi Minamino recently, it seems clear that he is desperate for Jota to make his return.

Following his signing from Wolves, assistant manager Pep Ljinders was full of praise for the £36 million-rated winger, saying:

“Diogo, what can I say? His technical level is on the same as our front three.

“He has so much future in the game and he will have a great pathway inside our club. He’s like a pressing monster, so he will fit in straight away.”

Certainly, when Jota returns, Klopp could return to a 4-2-3-1 formation that would allow him to accommodate the Portuguese international as well as Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane in the Reds attack, which could be the key to solving their lack of goals in recent fixtures.

ATUAÇÕES: Fred manda bem, mas Formiga atrapalha o Fluminense

O atacante Fred foi o grande nome do jogo. Deixou a sua marca três vezes e quase levou o Fluminense a uma vitória de virada.

Predicted Man City XI vs Brighton

Manchester City return to Premier League action on Wednesday night, as they take on Brighton and Hove Albion at the Etihad.

Pep Guardiola’s side cruised through to the FA Cup fourth round after a comfortable 3-0 win against Birmingham City at the weekend and the Spanish manager was able to rest some of his key players ahead of the game against Graham Potter’s side.

City are also beginning to welcome back some of the individuals that tested positive for the current viral outbreak but the likes of Nathan Ake and Aymeric Laporte are injured, whilst Sergio Aguero is self-isolating.

Here’s how Football FanCast expects Guardiola to line his side up against Brighton on Wednesday evening, with five changes from the starting team that beat Birmingham…

Ederson reclaims his place in between the sticks, although Zack Steffen showed himself to be a reliable back up in his recent appearances for the Citizens.

There are two changes in defence, as Kyle Walker moves back out to right-back, having started at centre-back at the weekend, with Joao Cancelo moving to left-back, as we saw regularly earlier in the season.

John Stones gets the start alongside Ruben Dias at centre-back, with the duo rapidly becoming the best centre-back partnership in the Premier League on current form.

Ilkay Gundogan returns in midfield, with the German international having been rested against Birmingham.

In order to accommodate the former Borussia Dortmund man, Kevin De Bruyne pushes forward into the false nine role, which he played so effectively in, in the 3-1 win against Chelsea recently, with Gabriel Jesus dropping to the bench as a result.

The Brazilian, who earns £90k per week at City, once again failed to find the back of the net at the weekend and considering this is a must-win game for the Citizens, they cannot afford to be wasteful in front of goal.

There’s one change on the wing as Raheem Sterling replaces Riyad Mahrez, with the English international missing the game at the weekend due to a lack of match fitness but he should be fine to feature against the Seagulls, whilst Bernardo Silva keeps his place after his impressive brace against Aitor Karanka’s side.

Three points against Brighton keeps the pressure on those at the top of the league, so Guardiola must select a strong lineup to ensure his side secures the win against a struggling Brighton side.

And, in other news, Guardiola must swoop for “unbelievable” £90m-rated beast; he can break Aguero’s Man City record

تقارير: شكوك لدى ميسي بشأن قدرات بوتشيتينو في باريس سان جيرمان

بدأ ليونيل ميسي التساؤل عما إذا كان ماوريسيو بوتشيتينو على مستوى مهمة تدريب باريس سان جيرمان، بعد أن سجل مخاوف بشأن تكتيكاته وقدرته على التحكم في غرفة تبديل الملابس.

أشارت التقارير الأخيرة إلى أن النجم الأرجنتيني لديه شكوك حول مواطنه ومدرب باريس سان جيرمان، على الرغم من حقيقة أن النادي يحتل حاليًا الصدارة بفارق 11 نقطة في صدارة الدوري الفرنسي.

وذكرت صحيفة “ميرور” الإنجليزية، نقلًا عن “ليكيب” الفرنسية، أن ميسي يعتقد أن خطة لعب بوتشيتينو مقيدة للغاية، ونتيجة لذلك فشل في اللعب مع نقاط القوة في خط الهجوم المرصع بالنجوم في النادي، والمكون من ميسي ونيمار وكيليان مبابي.

وأوضحت أن المقربين من ميسي يخشون من أن المدرب لا يملك السيطرة الكاملة على غرفة الملابس، وبالتالي فقد احترام عدد من اللاعبين.

حقيقة أنهم يتصدرون الدوري لا تهم كثيرًا، حيث أن التركيز الأساسي في باريس سان جيرمان منصب على دوري أبطال أوروبا.

ويحتل باريس سان جيرمان المركز الثاني في مجموعته بدوري أبطال أوروبا، خلف مانشستر سيتي، مع العلم أنهما تأهلا سويًا إلى دور الـ16 من البطولة.

كان مدرب توتنهام السابق في منصبه مع باريس سان جيرمان منذ 11 شهرًا فقط، لكنه واجه بالفعل تكهنات متزايدة بشأن العودة إلى الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز من بوابة مانشستر يونايتد.
