Plenty of Aston Villa fans have hit out at women’s sporting director Eniola Aluko for her comments on the furlough rule.

With football at a standstill due to the recent pandemic, many clubs have been forced to put their staff on the government furlough scheme, which has now been extended until October.

The scheme sees employees receive 80% of their monthly wages of up to £2,500, whilst the country works through the pandemic and begins to come out of the recent lockdown.

BBC Sport recently reported that Villa’s women’s side, who sit top of the Women’s Championship, have been furloughed.

Aluko, who won 102 caps for her country and represented the likes of Chelsea, Birmingham City and Juventus, commented earlier this week on the scheme, suggested it created a “do-nothing” mentality and “culture of entitlement”. Her comments have now been attacked by Villa fans.

Villa women’s sporting director has since apologised for her comments, but the 33-year-old has seen her reputation amongst fans of the Claret and Blue club now take a hard hit.

Reacting to a tweet on the comments via Twitter account @HeartOfTheHolte, fans gave their opinion on Aluko with one suggesting her tweets were “embarrassing”:

O Botafogo empatou por 1 a 1 com o Vitória, neste sábado (23), no Nilton Santos, pela 35ª rodada do Brasileirão, em duelo que valia o topo da tabela. Com o novo tropeço, o Glorioso foi ultrapassado pelo líder Palmeiras, que agora tem os mesmos 70 pontos e uma vitória a mais. Apesar de um domínio da partida, o Alvinegro viu o mesmo filme se repetir nos últimos três confrontos: uma chuva finalizações que nunca terminam em gols.

➡️ Textor questiona arbitragem após empate entre Botafogo e Vitória: ‘Estranho’

Desde o duelo contra o Cuiabá, os jogos têm ficado cada vez mais decisivos e difíceis. Todos eles tiveram algo em comum: um time fechado, com três zagueiros, linha de cinco e apostas nos contra-ataques. O resultado foi o mesmo em todos: um empate frustrante.

Do melhor ataque do campeonato, o Botafogo passou a ter dificuldades de encontrar espaços para armar as jogadas. As linhas de cinco, acabam virando linha de oito, 10 jogadores adversários em seu campo de defesa, em que a única solução que se encontra é cruzar na área. Desde a vitória de 3 a 0 sobre o Vasco, o Glorioso precisou de 81 finalizações para estufar as redes.

➡️ Dono do Botafogo, Textor dispara contra Everson, do Atlético-MG: ‘Vivo na cabeça dele’

A partir daí, parece que as equipes entenderam o que era preciso fazer para se tirar pontos do Alvinegro. Após a expulsão de Rubens, no duelo contra o Atlético-MG, Gabriel Milito fechou o time, e o que se viu foi um jogo de um time só. O Botafogo atacava, e o Galo defendia. Foram 27 finalizações e nenhum gol.

O número de cruzamentos aumentou gradativamente, na medida em que os jogos foram ficando mais desafiadores. Em confrontos em que o time conseguiu amplo domínio e venceu com tranquilidade, os cruzamentos não eram a ‘principal arma’ ofensiva.

continua após a publicidade12 cruzamentos contra o Flamengo (4×1)16 cruzamentos contra o Atlético-GO (4×1)18 cruzamentos contra o Atlético-MG (3×0)

Agora, os números praticamente dobraram. Na última quarta-feira (20), foram 49 cruzamentos contra o Atlético-MG, enquanto contra o Vitória foram 55. Em apenas dois jogos, foram 104 cruzamentos para marcar apenas um gol, que foi contra. Isso pode ser explicado pela quantidade jogadores presentes na área. Na mesma proporção em que o Botafogo ataca, a equipe adversária defende, causando um congestionamento na grande área.

➡️ Artur Jorge sai em defesa de Tchê Tchê no Botafogo: ‘Treinador quis’

Para tentar dar opções ofensivas, Artur Jorge opta por colocar o time para frente, tirando meio-campistas, como foi o caso de Almada e Gregore. Mesmo com cinco atacantes em campo, a equipe teve dificuldades para trocar passes com maiores movimentações, se livrando de marcadores, para chutar.

Após o empate, o técnico falou sobre a frustração de não conseguir ganhar as partidas mesmo com um amplo domínio sobre o adversário. Segundo Artur Jorge, isso também influencia no psicológico dos jogadores em campo.

– São três jogos que não conseguimos vencer, com mais de 70% de posse de bola, com mais de 80 arremates no total. Claramente, dominadores. Mas é frustrante enquanto equipe. Não conseguimos materializar. Fizemos um gol. E isso tem impacto na parte emocional dos atletas, também. Porque não vão acontecendo as coisas, vai aumentando a ansiedade, com a dificuldade que nós próprios criamos dentro do jogo.

➡️ Artur Jorge nega mental abalado do Botafogo: ‘Não estamos desesperados’

Na próxima quarta-feira (26), o Botafogo terá um cenário diferente pela frente. Em um duelo com gosto de final contra o Palmeiras, no Allianz Parque, a equipe carioca vai encarar um time que precisa buscar o resultado dentro de casa e, por isso, deve sair do campo de defesa para ganhar a partida. Nessas condições, o Glorioso levou a melhor sobre o Alviverde duas vezes nesta temporada. Empatados em pontos, o Alvinegro precisa deixar a ansiedade para trás, e reencontrar o caminho das vitórias no jogo mais importante do campeonato até aqui. A bola rola a partir das 21h30 (de Brasília).

Plenty of Wolves fans have been wondering about the Molineux future of on-loan midfielder Connor Ronan.

The 21-year-old Irishman has been on loan to Slovakian outfit DAC Dunajska Streda since January, scoring two goals in 30 games for them so far.

Having had previous loan spells at Portsmouth and Walsall, he has struggled to break into the Wolves team, making just 13 senior appearances for the Molineux side since his debut in December 2016.

He seems to be benefitting from his loan move to Slovakia, though, with The Athletic’s Wolves reporter Tim Spiers tweeting that he is apparently playing “the best football of his career” with DAC Dunajska Streda. [via @TimSpiers]

According to The Irish Sun, Ronan put in a hugely influential display for Republic of Ireland under-21s in their 4-1 win over Sweden on Tuesday night, coming off the bench at half-time to masterfully set up a goal for Tottenham’s Troy Parrott, his performance delighting a number of Irish fans watching the game.

These Wolves supporters on Twitter are curious to know if the 21-year-old will have a part to play at Molineux once his loan spell in Slovakia ends, with one fan believing that he should be ahead of Morgan Gibbs-White and Bruno Jordao in the midfield pecking order:

Do you think Ronan will be given a chance to impress at Wolves or will he have to go elsewhere for regular game-time? Join in the discussion by commenting below!

Having arrived from French giants Lyon in the summer, Tanguy Ndombele has endured a rather topsy-turvy time of things in north London.

The £58.m-rated ace has shown flashes of the enormous potential he has, games like the one away at Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League when he picked up two assists for instance. But in general, things have been slightly more disappointing for the 22-year-old, with fitness seemingly being a key issue with him – in the Premier League, barring the opening two games of the season against Aston Villa and Manchester City respectively, he has not completed the full 90 minutes.

And against Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League, he managed just 74 minutes. But under the guidance of new manager Jose Mourinho, he produced arguably one of his finest displays in a Spurs shirt so far. Having opted for Harry Winks and Eric Dier in his first game in charge against West Ham, there may have been doubts in Ndombele’s mind about where he might have fitted into the Portuguese man’s thinking.

After all, the former Manchester United boss has built up a reputation for being a defensive-minded coach, strict on discipline and positioning. But on Saturday, Ndombele showed that he has a bit of grit to go with his guile, and paid back Mourinho’s faith in him to use him in one of the two deeper-lying midfield positions. As per Sofascore, he won a remarkable 11 of his 14 total duels, and made an impressive four tackles, one interception and one clearance too.

To put those numbers into context, Ndombele has averaged just two tackles, 0.7 interceptions and 5.2 duels won per game in the Premier League as a whole. If the former Lyon man can add some defensive bite to his game as he did against Bournemouth, then he could quickly become Mourinho’s lynch-pin in midfield. The Frenchman has also been a creative spark for Spurs, what with his 1.6 dribbles and 0.7 key passes per game.

But if he can marry his more naturally gifted offensive game to some added defensive nous, then the Spurs manager may see him as the man to carry the midfield instead of two-goal hero Dele Alli.

علّق روبن دياز مدافع مانشستر سيتي على تأهلهم إلى نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، للمرة الأولى في تاريخ النادي الإنجليزي.

وتلاقى مانشستر سيتي مع باريس سان جيرمان في إياب نصف نهائي دوري الأبطال مساء أمس في ملعب الاتحاد حيث فاز بهدفين دون رد. أهداف مباراة مانشستر سيتي وباريس سان جيرمان

وقال دياز في تصريحات نشرها الموقع الرسمي للبطولة: “سعيد للغاية، لقد كان أداءً صبورًا منا، كان علينا الدفاع جيدًا لكننا تعاملنا مع ما قدموه واستحقينا الفوز، أن نكون في النهائي شعورًا رائعًا”.

وأضاف: “إنه توازن جيد لدينا، ندافع بشكل جيد كفريق، بغض النظر عن اللاعبين الموجودين في ذلك المركز، أنا أو أي شخص آخر، في خط الهجوم لدينا لاعبون يمكنهم إيذاء الخصم، كان الأمر رائعًا لـ محرز ليسجل أهدافه”.

وواصل: “بالطبع سأشاهد مباراة ريال مدريد وتشيلسي غدًا، ستكون مباراة نهائية جيدة مهما كان خصمنا، نعلم أننا نتمتع بالجودة، متأكد من أنه سيكون رائعًا”.

تحدث بيتسو موسيماني المدير الفني للنادي الأهلي، عن مباراة فريقه أمام المصري، التي نجح في الفوز بها المارد الأحمر بنتيجة 2-1 ضمن منافسات الدوري.

والتقى الأهلي مع المصري على أرضية ميدان استاد الإسكندرية، في خضم مؤجلات الجولة الخامسة عشر من عمر المسابقة المحلية.

وقال موسيماني في تصريحات خلال المؤتمر الصحفي للمباراة: “مباراة صعبة، حصلنا على راحة لمدة يومين فقط، أما المنافس فقد حصل على راحة لمدة 10 أيام، هم حصلوا على إفاقة أكثر منّا، وحصلوا منّا على الالتحامات المشتركة”.

وأكمل: “كان بإمكاننا تسجيل هدفين آخرين، لعبنا بشكل جيد واستخلصنا الكرة ولكن القرار الأخير لم يكن منضبطًا، والتغييرات أحدثت الفارق”.

وأوضح: “كان يجب أن نستثمر الـ5 تغييرات لتنشيط الفريق، محمد هاني ما زال غير جاهز، كنا نريد ألا يتعرض لانتكاسة، سعد سمير والشناوي أديا مباراة جيدة، وكوكا لم يكن سيئًا”.

وأشار: “كان لدينا تحد في التنظيم الخططي، المصري كانوا يلعبون بـ8 لاعبين في المنطقة الخاصة بنا، كنا نخرج بالكرة بشكل جيد ولكن كما قلت القرار الأخير لم يكن جيدًا”.

وأضاف مدرب الأهلي: “المصري كان يضغط بالجناحين، ويصل لـ8 لاعبين في الهجوم كنا نفتقد اللمسة الأخيرة وإنهاء الهجمات، لم أتفاجأ بمركز المصري في جدول الدوري، وهم قدموا مباراة كبيرة”.

واستطرد: “للأمانة كنت أشعر أن المصري سيسجل، وكنت أتمنى أن نخرج من الشوط الأول متقدمين ولكنهم تعادلوا، منذ فترة طويلة نستقبل هدفًا من ضربة حرة ويجب أن نتعلم من ذلك ويكون بمثابة إنذار لنا”.

وبشأن اعتماد الأهلي على الكرات الطولية، أجاب: “نعاني من الإرهاق ونواجه فريقًا نشيطًا، والهدف الثاني جاء من هجمة مرتدة لنا، نواجه فريقًا يهاجم بـ8 لاعبين وغير مهتمين بالدفاع”.

وبسؤاله هل يعاني أفشة من الإجهاد؟ أوضح: “نعم هو أفضل لاعب في الفريق ويعاني من الإجهاد، الفريق كله يحتاج إلى راحة وأيضًا محمد شريف والسولية ولاعبون كثر”.

واختتم: “كهربا بدأ في المشاركة والظهور بشكل نشيط، والشحات لم أيضًا يعاني من الإجهاد”.

أكد مصدر داخل الفريق الأول للكرة الطائرة بنادي الزمالك، أن الفريق قد يضطر للاعتذار عن المشاركة في بطولة إفريقيا للأندية بتونس.

وقال المصدر في تصريحات خاصة لـ “بطولات” إنه لم يتم استخراج تأشيرات السفر الخاصة بلاعبي الفريق ولم يتم حجز تذاكر الطيران حتى الآن، والبطولة الإفريقية ستنطلق في الثامن عشر من الشهر الجاري.

وأوضح أن الفريق يجب أن يسافر خلال اليوم أو غداً ولكن إدارة النادي لم تدفع أي مبالغ مالية من أجل الحجز بعد، وهو الأمر الذي سيؤخر ترتيبات الفريق للسفر والمعسكر التدريبي قبل انطلاق البطولة.

وأتم أن إدارة النادي تتجاهل ارتباطات الفريق رغم إعلانها في وقت سابق أنها ستشارك في البطولة القارية في تونس، وهو ما سيدفع الإدارة الفنية للفريق للاعتذار عن المشاركة في البطولة.

Not satisfied with snatching Eden Hazard from Chelsea last summer, it seems Real Madrid are heading back to the Premier League to sign another London-based superstar in the coming months.

According to Diario Gol, Los Blancos are determined to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur as successor to Karim Benzema.

But where would that leave young Serbian striker Luka Jovic who only moved to the Bernabeu in July?

What’s the word, then?

We’ve been hearing about Real Madrid’s supposed revolution all summer long.

The media, especially from the Spanish capital, have been going on about Zinedine Zidane not having the squad he needs (or wants) to be able to fully compete in every competition.

Of course, Hazard was a major signing and with the number seven shirt on his back, the Belgian might be looked upon as Cristiano Ronaldo’s successor.

But the Portuguese forward left for Juventus more than 15 months ago, and there are a number of other big name players who will soon need replacing in an ageing Galactico squad.

Benzema is already 31 years old. Sooner, rather than later, someone will have to take over his mantle, and who better to do that than Kane?

Unfortunately, that could end Jovic’s Real Madrid career before it has even begun.

A worrying sign

Tottenham Hotspur are not really firing on all cylinders right now.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men are struggling for form and were recently beaten 7-2 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League. They have won just three games this season – all in the Premier League and all at White Hart Lane.

Watch Lionel Messi and Gareth Bale answer the internet’s weirdest questions in the video below…

Diario Gol states that the Galacticos believe €180m (£162m) would be enough to extract the English forward away from north London, especially if Spurs miss out on Champions League football next season.

That would be a deal-breaker for Kane and, if this were to happen, he is apparently prepared to leave his beloved Spurs.

But such a deal would also ask a huge question about Jovic’s position inside Real’s squad.

Why exactly was the young Serbian even bought if Kane is now on the agenda as well? After all, it is highly unlikely that Los Blancos were ready to splash the reported £53.2m sum just to add a bench-warmer to their squad.

Seeing how Jovic has only tallied 218 minutes so far, across all competitions in 2019/20, it would be unfair to compare him to a regular first-teamer like the English forward.

So let’s take a look at how they both performed last season in their respective domestic leagues.

Jovic scored 17 goals and assisted a further five, which is actually one assist more than Kane’s 17 goals and four assists in the Premier League. Interestingly enough, the young Serbian edges him out in some other categories as well.

While the Spurs man had a slightly higher tally of shots per game with 3.6, as opposed to the former Frankfurt ace’s three, Jovic had 1.4 dispossessions and 2.3 unsuccessful touches per game, compared to Kane’s 1.6 and 2.9 respectively.

By all means, when the Serbian is given a chance to perform, he can evidently do it to a really high level.

It seems, however, that he is bound to get even less game time if the signing of Kane goes through – which, we must remind ourselves, is nowhere near concrete by any means.

But if the original source is to be believed, Kane would be Benzema’s direct successor and, in that regard, is most likely to become their first-choice striker.

The young Serb is already struggling for continuity and if Tottenham do end up allowing their forward to head to the Bernabeu, it might just spell the end of Jovic’s Madrid career.

Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has made his latest round of Premier League predictions ahead of the weekend, and has made a big claim by saying Tottenham Hotspur left-back Danny Rose isn’t happy.

What did he say?

Well, speaking ahead of Spurs’ trip to Leicester City on Saturday, the former Arsenal player has had his say on the north London outfit and the England international, who was omitted from the squad that faced Olympiacos on Wednesday night along with fellow full-back Serge Aurier.

Nicholas said via Sky Sports: “Tottenham, we were told, have calmed down after the Crystal Palace game. Christian Eriksen stays put and they have their private chat, but I don’t think that is the case. I don’t think Danny Rose is happy – how long will it be until he comes out and says he is not happy?”

Watch Tottenham Hotspur Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below

Is he right?

It’s difficult to say.

While the 29-year-old may not have been best pleased to have been left at home when his teammates travelled to Athens, Mauricio Pochettino did say he was going to rotate his squad and it appears likely that he is saving Rose and Aurier to start at the King Power Stadium this weekend.

In addition, he didn’t travel with the side on their pre-season tour of Asia in July either with a view to him being sold, but an exit failed to materialise even though a deadline day exit to Watford looked to be on the cards at one stage, as per The Sun.

Following a summer of speculation, the Englishman has established himself as Tottenham’s first choice left-back ahead of Ben Davies, and said in an interview with The Mirror earlier this month that he was “very happy” and that he was ready to fight for his spot.

In that respect him being unhappy would be a little strange, although Rose has always worn his heart on his sleeve and been honest.

An interesting few weeks ahead, then.
