Liverpool starlet Jake Cain can be Jordan Henderson’s long-term successor

Whilst Leighton Clarkson might be stealing the limelight after his Champions League debut in midweek, the Reds also have Jake Cain in the academy who looks to have a very bright future with the Reds.

The 19-year-old travelled with the Liverpool squad to Denmark for their game against FC Midtjylland in midweek but failed to make an appearance, whilst fellow youngster Clarkson played the whole game.

However, it would not be a surprise to see Cain make another first-team appearance for the club this season, after he signed a professional contract with the Merseyside club in 2019, before signing a long-term extension earlier this year.

The young midfielder has been training with the first-team in recent times and made his first-team debut for the club earlier this year in the 1-0 FA Cup win against Shrewsbury Town.

More appearances for Klopp’s side are surely not too far away, as he has been superb in his performances for the academy team so far this season, with three goals and four assists in just seven appearances in the Premier League 2.

In an interview with the club in June of this year, Cain described his playing style, saying:

“Since a young age, I’ve been a very good passer. I can see passes which the opposition can’t defend really well. I like to get into positions where I’m behind the defence and thread balls through.”

Meanwhile, a scout report from Team Talk suggested that the youngster could be deemed a ‘set piece king’ due to his ability in dead-ball situations, which is something that could certainly excite Liverpool fans in the future.

The young midfielder has already drawn comparisons with Jordan Henderson for his style of play, and if he can have anywhere near the impact the Liverpool captain has had at the club once he establishes himself in the first-team, then he will surely prove to be popular amongst the Anfield faithful.

Predicted Leeds XI vs Man United – preview, team and injury news

Leeds are prepared to face an old rival this evening as they make the long-awaited journey to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United. Both teams head into the fixture off the back of a win and neither will be willing to let their guard down even for a second tonight.

The questionable defence of Leeds will need to defend hard against the threat of the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, but Marcelo Bielsa will undoubtedly have a plan to thwart the Reds on their turf.

Here’s how Football FanCast has predicted the Whites to set up against United this evening…

With both summer signings Robin Koch and Diego Llorente out with injuries, Bielsa is low on centre-back options. He has recently been starting Luke Ayling in a more central role, but he must make sure his defence is the best it can be against an attack like Man United’s.

The boss has Pascal Struijk at his disposal and he should consider giving him just his fourth Premier League start of the season. The £25,000 per week defender has slipped down the pecking order recently, but a natural centre-back is a much safer option than Ayling, no matter how well he has been playing in the makeshift position.

This will allow the Englishman to return to his natural right-back role, with Stuart Dallas on the opposite flank. Kalvin Phillips will, as usual, help defend the backline by lying deep in the midfield.

Although Rodrigo had a great game last time out against Newcastle, Pablo Hernandez made a dream substitute appearance by bagging himself two assists off the bench. Because of this, he may have earned himself a spot in the starting lineup to help Patrick Bamford threaten Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s backline.

A win on the road will be a huge result for the Whites who are looking to climb the table, against an old nemesis no less.

Em festa do Mineiro, clubes definem veto da CBF à Liga como 'vergonha'

MatériaMais Notícias

A festa de inauguração do Campeonato Mineiro foi ofuscada pelas reações de Cruzeiro e Atlético-MG à Primeira Liga. Na noite de segunda-feira, o presidente da Liga, Gilvan de Pinho Tavares não poupou críticas à CBF pelo veto à competição:

-Essas coisas tornam a gente descrente com pessoas que estão lidando com o futebol brasileiro. É bom que grandes clubes brasileiros estão sendo dirigidos por pessoas novas, diferentes, que estão chegando para consertar o futebol brasileiro. Isso que está acontecendo é uma vergonha.

Em seguida, o presidente do Cruzeiro lamentou o fato de a CBF ter se posicionado apenas a dois dias do início da Primeira Liga:

-Isso não é coisa de gente séria.

Gilvan de Pinho Tavares ainda ratificou que não há necessidade de uma autorização oficial da CBF para a Primeira Liga acontecer. O presidente do Atlético-MG, Daniel Nepomuceno também garantiu a realização do duelo entre Galo e Flamengo:

-Nem discuto mais. Respeito o torcedor, vendemos ingressos, o torcedor está esperando o jogo com o Flamengo, acertamos datas com Figueirense e América-MG, não é possível mudar isso, ter posicionamento contrário faltando 48 horas.Não é questão de bater de frente (com a CBF), isso foi definido, tivemos reunião pesada no Rio no fim de dezembro. Ali foi determinante para a continuidade dos trabalhos. Todos foram unânimes de que iam jogar.

O presidente do América-MG, Alencar da Silveira, bancou a participação do clube na Primeira Liga. Aos olhos do dirigente, o abandono à competição seria falta de profissionalismo:

-Também acho que os jogos vão acontecer. Tem seriedade na coisa. São profissionais que trabalharam seis meses para fazer a competição e dar um bom espetáculo para o torcedor. Isso é falta de atenção, de consideração com os clubes participantes. Como se muda a regra do jogo depois que os ingressos foram vendidos, os patrocínios vendidos e os contratos assinados? A posição do América, assim como de todos, é de jogar a Liga.

Argel exalta vitória do Inter, mas diz que prioridade deve ser centroavante

MatériaMais Notícias

Nem mesmo a vitória do Internacional sobre o Ypiranga-RS é suficiente para deixar Argel Fucks plenamente satisfeito. Em entrevista coletiva, o técnico manifestou seu desejo em contar com um centroavante:

-Precisamos de um nove de reposição. Não posso buscar um 10 sem dar oportunidades, o D’Ale foi titular por oito anos. Ele conquistou a condição de ídolo. Temos que ter calma. Se pudesse escolher, era um nove. Podem ter certeza que estamos buscando para qualificar, mas dando oportunidades. Atacante é isso, tem que fazer como o Aylon.

O treinador esclareceu que há dificuldades para contar com um homem de área no elenco do Colorado:

– Vamos atrás de um nove. Perdemos o Lisandro, não temos mais o Rafael Moura. Estamos rodando e dando chances para o Vitinho e Sasha. Estamos criando pelos lados de campo e pelo meio.

-Foi tranquilo, faz parte. É o ciclo do futebol. A instituição continua, ídolos passam e nascem outros líderes. Vamos dar oportunidade a todos. Vamos procurar um outro meia, estamos atentos ao mercado, mas primeiro tenho que dar oportunidade ao Alex, Andrigo e Gustavo Ferrareis.

Crystal Palace: Fans drool as footage emerges %%sep%% %%sitename%%

Fans of Crystal Palace have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which featured footage of Eberechi Eze’s remarkable solo goal against Sheffield United last weekend.

Since arriving at Palace from Queens Park Rangers in what was a £16.02 million deal back in August, Eze has highly impressed over his 15 Premier League appearances for Roy Hodgson’s side, scoring two goals and providing two assists, as well as averaging a WhoScored match rating of 6.84 – ranking him as the club’s fourth-best performer in the top flight.

The latest of the 22-year-old’s goals came in the club’s recent 2-0 victory against Sheff United, where the midfielder picked up the ball inside his own half, before winding his way through a couple of United challenges and finishing beautifully from 18 yards out.

And, after the Crystal Palace official account relayed this footage on Twitter, fans of the club flocked to have their say on the goal, with many of them heaping praise on the England U21 international.

So, what exactly did these Crystal Palace fans have to say in reaction to the footage of Eberechi Eze’s goal?

“What did we do to deserve him?”

@RoccoSeipel

“Made it look so Eze.”

@DerekPallardy

“Love the steward just checking there won’t be a pitch invasion after the goal”

@EastonAdam

“The way this kid goes past players is unbelievable. Great talent”

@James_h1892

“GOOOO GOOOOO GOOOOO”

Palace must sign Premier League ace

It seems Crystal Palace’s quest to find a new striker has taken an interesting twist, if recent reports are to be believed.

What’s the word?

According to The Sun’s Alan Nixon, Newcastle United striker Dwight Gayle could be set for a return to Crystal Palace in the summer.

Gayle joined Newcastle from the Eagles in the summer of 2016 and has scored 34 goals and supplied 10 assists across all competitions during his time at St James’ Park.

However, the centre-forward has fallen down the pecking order under Steve Bruce after nearly five years on Tyneside and it is understood that a possible return to his former club could be on the cards.

Imagine Gayle and Wilfried Zaha

Palace have been desperately trying to find a new frontman for what feels like forever.

Belgian striker Christian Benteke’s form has been patchy at best, as he hasn’t hit double digits since the 2016/17 season, and the least said about Steve Parish’s decision to sign Alexander Sorloth from from Danish side FC Midtjylland, the better.

In the last few months alone, Wilfried Zaha has had to shoulder the burden of scoring the majority of Palace’s goals, which has only made his absence even more obvious on the few occasions where he has missed a game this season.

Given his excellent goal record for the Eagles, Gayle fits the bill for Roy Hodgson’s side, as his versatility means he could be deployed at the top of the pitch or on either flank.

During his time at Selhurst Park, the £7m-rated 31-year-old bagged 25 goals and three assists in 74 appearances in all competitions via Transfermarkt.

His childhood coach Dave Bricknell lavished praise on his former young charge, saying: “He was a lovely lad. By then, people had started ringing up about David Beckham, who was becoming the real megastar. But even then I thought: ‘One day, they could be ringing me up about Dwight’.”

“I remember one tournament in Holland where we played a penalty shoot-out and Dwight took penalties with both of his feet. He always had that fantastic technique.”

Palace must swoop for Gayle in the summer, as they simply cannot afford to pass up on the opportunity to sign a proven Premier League goal-scorer who won’t cost Palace a penny. Get it done, Eagles, before somebody else does.

يوفنتوس يخضع لتحقيقات جديدة بشأن بيع كريستيانو رونالدو إلى مانشستر يونايتد

أمر المدعون الإيطاليون ببحث جديد في مكاتب يوفنتوس الإيطالي في إطار تحقيق في المحاسبة المالية للنادي ويدرسون أيضا شروط بيع اللاعب النجم كريستيانو رونالدو.

نشر يوفنتوس ملحقًا لوثيقة مستثمر لإصدار أسهم جديدة يوم الخميس، وأكد أنه كان يتصرف دائمًا وفقًا للقوانين الحالية وأنه يتعاون بشكل كامل مع السلطات.

قال ممثلو الادعاء في تورينو الأسبوع الماضي إنهم يحققون مع النادي وبعض كبار مديريه، بما في ذلك رئيس مجلس الإدارة أندريا أنييلي ونائب الرئيس بافيل نيدفيد، في قضية تدور حول انتقالات اللاعبين.

وأوضح ممثلو الادعاء أنهم يتحققون مما إذا كان يوفنتوس قد قدم اتصالات مزيفة للمستثمرين وأصدروا فواتير معاملات لم تحدث.

فتشت الشرطة المالية الإيطالية مكاتب النادي الأسبوع الماضي لمصادرة الوثائق المتعلقة بانتقالات اللاعبين بين عامي 2019 و2021.

بعد أن تضرر بشدة من تداعيات جائحة فيروس كورونا، يسعى يوفنتوس إلى جمع 400 مليون يورو (340 مليون جنيه إسترليني) نقدًا عن طريق بيع أسهم جديدة لخفض الديون وإصلاح موارده المالية.

في ملحق لنشرة إصدار المكالمات النقدية، قال يوفنتوس إن المدعين يبحثون أيضًا في بياناته المالية للنصف الأول من عام 2021 فيما يتعلق ببيع النجم البرتغالي كريستيانو رونالدو.

في أغسطس، توصل يوفنتوس إلى اتفاق لبيع اللاعب البرتغالي لمانشستر يونايتد مقابل 23 مليون يورو (19.6 مليون جنيه إسترليني، 26 مليون دولار)، بما في ذلك 8 ملايين يورو مرتبطة بتحقيق أهداف أداء محددة.

وقال النادي الذي يتخذ من تورينو مقراً له في ذلك الوقت إن الصفقة تضمنت خسارة قدرها 14 مليون يورو للسنة المالية 2020/21، مما ساهم في خسارة قياسية بلغت 210 مليون يورو.

وبحسب صحيفة “إندبندت” البريطانية، لم يتضح على الفور أي جزء من صفقة النقل يركز عليه التحقيق.

وقال النادي في الوثيقة إنه لا يعتقد أن التحقيق وعمليات البحث تشكل “تغييرًا سلبيًا جوهريًا” بموجب بند تعاقدي من شأنه أن يسمح للائتلاف المصرفي الذي يضمن الاتصال النقدي بسحب التزامه.

يوفنتوس، وهو واحد من 12 ناديًا أوروبيًا رائدًا قام بمحاولة فاشلة لتأسيس دوري السوبر الأوروبي المنفصل في أبريل لتعزيز موارده المالية، يخضع لسيطرة شركة Exor، الشركة القابضة لعائلة إنييلي الإيطالية، والتزمت Exor بالاشتراك في المكالمة النقدية للاحتفاظ بحصتها البالغة 63.8٪.

Eurico prestigia vice, evita pitaco contra Flamengo e 'dá lugar' a Horta

MatériaMais Notícias

Assim como no dia oficial de desfiles (relembre aqui), o presidente do Vasco, Eurico Miranda, voltou à Marquês de Sapucaí, na noite deste sábado, para acompanhar de perto a vice-campeã do Carnaval carioca, a Unidos da Tijuca, no camarote da escola do Morro do Borel.

A Unidos da Tijuca entrou na Avenida apenas na madrugada de domingo, por volta das 3h da manhã. Eurico estava lá, firme e forte, no seu canto no camarote, que era decorado, coincidentemente, pela arquibancada popular, com a bandeira do Vasco.

Falando em Vasco, já era dia de clássico, o primeiro do ano, e contra o maior rival, o Flamengo, pela quarta rodada do Campeonato Carioca, em São Januário. Mas quem disse que Eurico quis falar sobre o jogo?

– Não dou entrevista na Sapucaí, nem pitaco – limitou-se a dizer ao LANCE!.

Às 4h25, acompanhado de um segurança, o presidente do Vasco desceu a escada do camarote, dirigiu-se à saída do sambódromo ainda adotando poucas palavras com os torcedores que o abordavam e não viu a Mangueira entrar.

Durante o desfile da Verde e Rosa, a grande campeã do Carnaval do Rio de Janeiro, quem sentou exatamente no lugar de Eurico na cabine foi o também vascaíno Fernando Horta, presidente da Unidos da Tijuca e primeiro vice-presidente geral do Cruz-Maltino. Os dois mantêm uma boa relação política quando o assunto é o Gigante da Colina.
