From their opening nine Premier League games of the season, Liverpool have only conceded six goals thanks to the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, and Ibrahima Konate, who have all played their part in the Merseyside club’s blistering start to the season from a defensive point of view among others.

However, with Van Dijk and Matip both having hit the age of 30, the Reds will have to make sure they find sufficient replacements for the duo when they eventually depart Anfield.

One player the Reds currently have in their youth ranks who we feel could be a good replacement for Van Dijk in the future is centre-back Tom Clayton.

As a product of Liverpool’s youth academy, the 21-year-old has made 28 appearances for their under-18 side, scoring one goal in the process, as well as playing 45 times for the under-23 side, scoring three goals and providing one assist.

Clayton hailed as a “leader” – just like Van Dijk

Clayton, who has been described as a “leader” by under-23s coach Barry Lewtas, has yet to make his senior debut for Liverpool.

So far this season, he has played the full 90 minutes in all of Liverpool under-23s’ league games prior to their match against Blackburn Rovers, donning the captain’s armband on all but two occasions and swapping between centre-back and the defensive midfield position.

This shows just how important he is to the team, partly explaining why he has been praised for his leadership qualities and why he could be the heir apparent to Van Dijk in Klopp’s first team, considering that the Dutchman has been praised for his leadership skills by Reds captain Jordan Henderson in the past.

Moving forward, while it may be difficult for Clayton to get much senior playing time anytime soon considering the centre-backs in Liverpool’s senior squad at the moment, we feel that his time to shine in the first team could come soon and that he has what it takes to show why he could be a regular figure for them in the future who can provide leadership from the back.

If he makes the breakthrough and lives up to his early promise, he could also save the club millions in the transfer market, as he may well eliminate the need for FSG to splash out on an expensive centre-back.

يستهدف نادي مانشستر يونايتد ضم لاعب وسط الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ريال مدريد، كاسيميرو، قبل نهاية الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي من أجل تدعيم خط وسط الشياطين الحمر.

ويعاني مانشستر يونايتد منذ بداية الموسم الحالي بسبب انخفاض مستوى جميع اللاعبين، خاصة في خط الوسط والذي يضم كلاً من فريد وسكوت ميكتوميناي بعد رحيل نيمانيا ماتيتش مجانًا بعد نهاية الموسم الماضي.

وبحسب صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية، هناك وفد من مانشستر يونايتد في العاصمة “مدريد” ولديهم رغبة وتفاؤل في حسم تلك الصفقة رغم صعوبتها لأهمية البرازيلي لدى المدرب كارلو أنشيلوتي.

كاسيميرو ليس اللاعب الوحيد الذي يسعى مانشستر يونايتد لضمه من العاصمة الإسبانية “مدريد”، هناك اهتمام بمهاجم أتلتيكو مدريد، ماتيو كونيا، لأن إريك تين هاج يريد دعم الخط الأمامي.

لكن مع فشل مانشستر يونايتد في ضم فرينكي دي يونج من برشلونة أصبح الهدف التالي هو كاسيميرو، ورغم ذلك لم يستقبل ريال مدريد أي عرض رسمي ولكن كل شيء ممكن في كرة القدم كما أكدت الصحيفة الشهيرة.

ريال مدريد يمتلك 7 لاعبين في خط الوسط، كما ظهر أمام ألميريا، كل منهم يجيد اللعب في أكثر من مركز، كان توني كروس مع أوريلين تشواميني في الوسط المدافع قبل مشاركة كاسيميرو، مع تأكيد كارلو أنشيلوتي في تصريحات سابقة: “على الجميع أن يكون منتبهًا حتى اليوم الأخير من الميركاتو”.

Horas após a divulgação do manifesto em que a Mancha Alviverde solicita sua saída, Cuca pediu para conversar com os jornalistas na Academia de Futebol – o entrevistado desta terça-feira seria Jean. O técnico disse que tem a maior parcela de culpa pela má fase do Palmeiras, mas reafirmou que não deixará o clube e disse acreditar que o trabalho dará resultados.

– Se o time não jogou ainda o que pode, a responsabilidade maior é minha. Você pode perguntar por que eu ainda não saí. Eu ainda não saí e não saio porque acredito que o trabalho vai vingar. Eu vou até o fim, não saio e vou cumprir o que prometi. Seria fácil ir para casa cuidar da minha netinha, minhas filhas. Mas eu amo o futebol. E fazendo as coisas certas, tenho a chance de mudar – disse Cuca, cobrado pela organizada por aparentar “desânimo” em suas entrevistas, algo que ele negou.

– Eu fico triste de perder, mas a vida me ensinou que se tiram lições das derrotas. No dia em que estiver desanimado, digo que não dá mais. É natural estarmos tristes pelo momento, mas não abatidos. Não estamos de guarda baixa, pelo contrário. Vamos mobilizar o clube inteiro, sábado é aniversário do clube e o que mais queremos é vencer. Precisamos de paz e trabalhar ainda mais do que estamos trabalhando – emendou.

Antes de dar entrevista, Cuca reuniu todo o elenco para uma conversa no gramado da Academia de Futebol. Segundo ele, o tom foi parecido com o de sua entrevista: mobilização para vencer o São Paulo no domingo, encerrar a série de três partidas sem vitória no Brasileiro e começar a brigar acima do quarto lugar. O técnico fez questão de blindar os jogadores, dizendo que gosta de todos e tem ambiente muito bom:

– Eu tenho um ambiente bom com eles, adoro estar junto deles. Não tenho nenhum jogador que possa dizer que não gosto. E acho que nenhum deixa de gostar de mim. Um pode gostar mais, por jogar, mas o ambiente é bom. Não podemos falar que o ambiente não é bom, que jogador está fazendo corpo mole, não é verdade. Se os resultados não vieram nos últimos jogos, não é por isso. Eu seria o primeiro a falar.

O presidente Maurício Galiotte e o diretor de futebol Alexandre Mattos também foram defendidos pelo treinador:

– A gente tem ouvido questionamentos ao longo destes dias todos, de quem é a culpa? Do presidente, que ficou 15 dias fora com a Seleção? Não é. Se ele saiu é porque confia no diretor de futebol e no treinador que tem. Ele aqui não ia mudar nada, não é ele quem dá o treino. Muita gente ouve falar que a culpa é do dirigente porque ele contratou errado, isso ou aquilo, algumas coisas até perigosas de falar, colocando em xeque a honestidade do Alexandre Mattos, que é íntegro, que só faz o bem para os clubes que passa. Eu confio no que ele faz. Tirando o presidente e Alexandre, sobra uma responsabilidade maior para o treinador – disse.

– Ontem vocês me tinham como segundo melhor treinador do país, hoje talvez seja o segundo pior. Mas na minha cabeça eu sou o mesmo que estava balançando a bandeira no trio elétrico ano passado. As coisas não estão acontecendo, mas vão acontecer. Os jogadores estão se doando ao máximo, não está acontecendo por outros fatores, talvez falta de confiança. Estou aqui de peito aberto para falar o que sinto. Não é fácil o Palmeiras em turbulência, é muito fácil jogar a toalha, mas eu não jogo. Vou reverter com os jogadores, com o Alexandre, com o presidente. Tem tristeza, mas não tem abatimento de ninguém – completou Cuca.

Premier League, watch out.

Harry Kane could be about to return to form at Tottenham Hotspur after an intriguing claim emerged following the appointment of Antonio Conte as manager.

What’s the word?

According to football.london reporter Alasdair Gold, the England international is “really excited” about the prospect of working with the Italian boss after he replaced Nuno Santo in the Spurs dugout.

“Not the most startling news you’ll ever hear but I understand Harry Kane, among others in the Spurs squad, is really excited about working with Antonio Conte and is impressed with the ambition of the appointment and what the future holds,” he tweeted.

A return to form?

It’s no wonder the 28-year-old striker is keen to work with Conte given his illustrious coaching career. He has secured no fewer than nine major trophies, including a Premier League title and an FA Cup with Chelsea.

His latest triumph was just last season as he delivered Inter Milan their first Serie A triumph in over a decade.

So if it’s silverware that the Hotspur Way graduate desires so much, there’s a good chance the club break their 13-year duck with a proven winner at the helm.

Kane has looked like a dejected figure for much of the season, after a move to Manchester City failed to materialise, and that has correlated into some pretty dire performances on the pitch.

Indeed, the Englishman has found the net just once in eight league starts, with the Lilywhites ranking amongst some clear relegation candidates for key attacking metrics.

Spurs are tied-last alongside winless Norwich City for average number of shots per game (10.3), as per WhoScored, and they also rank fourth from bottom for expected goals (10.63 xG), via Understat.

Conte managed to get a tune out of Manchester United flop Romelu Lukaku during his time at the San Siro as the Belgian colossus bagged 64 goals in 95 appearances under the 52-year-old, so Kane should be thrilled about his chances of returning to form.

If much of Spurs’ success boils down to the Englishman’s form, then the Lilywhites faithful should be absolutely buzzing by this claim from Gold as a happy Kane will surely see him return to the goalscoring machine we’ve seen for several years.

Brett Lee demonstrated perfectly how to deliver searing reverse-swing in preparation for what the Australians expect will be similar conditions in Cardiff

Peter English at Worcester02-Jul-2009

Glenn McGrath used to do this when coming back from injury. He’d look awful enough for the obituaries of an outstanding career to begin. Brett Lee has learned a lot from his team-mate, who spoke to the side as he passed through Worcester this week, and copied his effectiveness by taking 5 for 53 against the England Lions.Not only did he prove he wasn’t headed for the fast-bowling knackery after his fifth ankle operation last January, he demonstrated perfectly how to deliver searing reverse-swing in preparation for what the Australians expect will be similar conditions in Cardiff. “Without giving too much away, the plan was to scuff the ball up as quickly as possible when the ball goes flat in the middle overs,” Lee said.”In a meeting before the game we tried to work out ways that we would bowl effectively in Cardiff, with the ball being scuffed up on that type of wicket. It took about four or five overs to get it going and they threw me the ball. That’s when I feel at my deadliest.”The spell of sustained late movement, which included being on a hat-trick after he bowled Joe Denly and had Ian Bell lbw, reminded Lee’s team-mates of his performance in Antigua last year when he took 5 for 59. “When the ball is tailing in, it’s pretty hard to get the ball out of my hand,” Lee said. “You always feel like you’re in the game as a fast bowler. It did take me back to playing against West Indies, so it was fun times.”While Lee was limping through his recovery from surgery he was being overtaken by Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle in the team rankings. For a bowler with 310 wickets it was a worrying feeling and entering the final tour match before the Ashes his spot was not sealed. It is now. “I haven’t trained for 25 weeks to sit on the sidelines,” he said.Now he sees himself as a bowler with two roles. “My job is to try to get early wickets and then to come back with the older ball,” he said.Dennis Lillee had to slow his pace late in his career to extend his playing days, focussing on swing, seam and guile. As Lee walked back to his mark in the third session he swished sweat from his forehead with a finger, just like Lillee did, but he achieved this success without reducing his speed.”The key ingredient really is for him to bowl at 93mph,” Stephen Moore said after his 120 held up the Australians and took his side to 302 for 6 at stumps on the second day. “Even Mitchell Johnson and Stuart Clark, bowling in the late 80s, weren’t getting it to drift in as much as that. Having chatted to some guys who know their stuff, it seems the extra three miles per hour makes a lot of difference.”Moore knows he is well back in England’s plans but was pleased to have registered a solid century against elite opponents. “There are some very good guys there keen and raring to go [above me],” he said. “I’ve got full faith in those guys, but you never know what happens. If anything untoward happens I’m going to make sure I’m there and ready.”

Newcastle United are reportedly now leading the chase to sign Chelsea ace Ross Barkley.

The Lowdown: Howe knows all about him

The 27-year-old is a player that Eddie Howe knows all about from his time managing Bournemouth, but probably for the wrong reasons.

The midfielder has scored three goals and provided a further three assists in eight games against the Cherries, winning four of those (Transfermarkt).

However, Howe could now have the opportunity to work alongside Barkley, should he make the move to St James’ Park.

The Latest: Newcastle leading the chase

As per TEAMtalk, Newcastle are now understood to be ‘leading the chase’ to sign Barkley, but they face competition from both Leeds United and Everton for his signature.

He may be available on a loan-to-buy option from Chelsea once the January transfer window opens, which could present an ideal scenario for the Tyneside club should they end up getting relegated from the Premier League.

Barkley has just over 18 months left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge, so if he impresses during a prospective loan spell at Newcastle, he could be signed for a cut-price transfer fee.

The Verdict: No-brainer

That the Magpies could sign a player with Barkley’s experience on a loan deal, given the predicament in which they find themselves, makes this potential move a no-brainer.

The Englishman already has 230 Premier League games under his belt, and his 28 goals and 31 assists show that he is composed in front of goal (Transfermarkt).

It would also present a potentially mouth-watering link-up with Callum Wilson, who dubbed him an ‘unbelievable’ and ‘unreal’ player, and one with whom he would like to play, on The Super 6 podcast (via The Chronicle) earlier this year.

At 27 years of age, Barkley still has a lot to give, and his signing would provide little risk for the new owners given that he is a proven Premier League operator potentially available on the cheap.

Em jogo isolado da 23ª rodada da Série B, Guarani e Vila Vova fizeram um jogo morno e empataram por 0 a 0, no Brinco de Ouro, na noite desta segunda-feira. O resultado não mudou muita coisa na tabela. O Bugre subiu para a sétima posição, com 32 pontos, ainda há cinco do quarto colocado, Ceará. O Vila seguiu em terceiro, com 39, dois a menos que o Inter, líder da competição.

No primeiro jogo sob o comando de Marcelo Cabo, que substituiu o técnico Vadão, o Guarani até pressionou, mas não conseguiu furar o bloqueio defensivo montado pelo Vila Nova. Paulinho e Rafael Silva, opções ofensivas da equipe paulista, fizeram pouco, sendo facilmente anulados pela marcação adversária.

O Vila, por sua vez, também não ameaçou. Preocupado somente em se defender, a equipe goiana tentou achar um contra-ataque para fazer o seu gol e se fechar de vez, mas não obteve êxito. Sem conseguir trocar mais que três passes e dependendo de bolas paradas para criar perigo, fez o goleiro do Guarani, Vagner, ser um mero espectador da partida.

Com o resultado, o Guarani até subiu uma posição, mas ainda está longe de uma posição no G4 que garante o acessso para a Série A de 2018. O Bugre é o sétimo colocado, com 32 pontos, cinco a menos que o Ceará, quarto colocado. O Vila Nova é o terceiro, com 39, três a menos que o Inter, que lidera a Segundona.

Thirteen wickets fell on the opening day at Rotterdam, as Canada’s bowlers fought back with three late strikes to partially amend the failure of their batsmen earlier in the day, who succumbed to a poor 177 against Netherlands

Cricinfo staff15-Jul-2009
ScorecardThirteen wickets fell on the opening day at Rotterdam, as Canada’s bowlers fought back with three late strikes to partially amend the failure of their batsmen earlier in the day, who succumbed to a poor 177 against Netherlands.Netherlands made an excellent start when Mark Jonkman bowled Geoff Barnett with the fifth delivery of the match. It was to be Jonkman’s only wicket, but he finished with otherwise respectable figures of 1 for 24 from 11 tidy overs. Canada’s batsmen struggled to put meaningful partnerships together, and while plenty made good starts – Rizwan Cheema and Qaiser Ali with 19, Sunil Dhaniram with 37 – no one went on to make a substantial contribution.Peter Borren picked up 3 for 37, and he was well supported by Netherlands’ spinners, Pieter Seelaar and Daan van Bunge, who also snared three apiece. Ashif Mulla was eighth man out for a tortured 28 from 90 balls as Canada folded for just 177.Revenge was sweet, however. Wesley Barresi made 32 from 75 before he fell to Zameer Zahir, while Sandeep Jyoti picked up 2 for 12 in his five-over spell to leave Netherlands struggling on 74 for 3, still trailing by 103.
