Tag Futebol

In modern times, social media plays a big part in the sport’s world. Many clubs have pretty active accounts on Twitter where they regularly post updates, news and interviews.

But there seems to be a trend building in which those official accounts interact with their fans more than usual and often post funny and relaxed tweets that sometimes resemble something an ordinary fan would post.

Some clubs, like Roma, for example, are really popular and mostly beloved for that and it seems that Barcelona have been trying to replicate that but with mixed success, to say the least.

Their latest tweet of that kind, however, was not really amusing to the fans and many were quick to slam whoever posted it. Some urged the club to delete the post as soon as possible.

That attempt backfired for the Catalans and it seems that this technique might be a little hit and miss.

You can see some of their replies as they voiced their confusion and disbelief in the collection of tweets down below:

Speaking to Betfair, Brazil legend Rivaldo has told Fred to stay at Manchester United and fight for his place.

What did he say?

Reports in recent weeks have suggested that the midfielder could be set for an Old Trafford exit this summer after enduring a rather difficult campaign.

However, Rivaldo has now insisted that it wouldn’t be the right decision for him to leave the club and instead urged him to showcase his true abilities.

He said: “Things haven’t been easy for Fred at Manchester United and some people say he should find another club. But I disagree with that. He is a good player who needs to be patient and keep working hard to earn a starting position in the United midfield. I don’t think leaving would solve his problems, and it would be preferable to stay and keep fighting for his place.”

A point to prove

There’s no doubting that since his arrival from Shakhtar Donetsk last summer, Fred has failed to really live up to the potential that heralded his arrival. The 26-year-old joined the Red Devils in a reported £47m deal amid claims that United’s rivals Manchester City were keen to take him to the Etihad.

But in a rather underwhelming campaign, the midfielder managed just a goal and assist apiece in 26 games across all competitions, and found himself on the periphery of United’s season.

However, the Brazilian could put that down to simply trying to adjust to the pace and physicality of English football, and if he can return to the sort of form that marked him out as an impressive player at Shakhtar, then there is no doubting he can still succeed at Old Trafford.

Watch how to cross the road like a boss with freestyler Ben Nuttall in the video below…

In the season before his move to United, the 26-year-old averaged 2.9 tackles and 2.3 dribbles per game in the Champions League for Shakhtar; the kind of all-action displays United could do with in the middle of the park. As Rivaldo says, if Fred can knuckle down and really kick on his second season in the Premier League, he could become one of those cliche ‘like a new signing’ players at Old Trafford next season.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that first-choice goalkeeper Alisson will be out “for the next few weeks” following the injury he suffered against Norwich City on Friday night, with recent arrival Adrian set to step in for the foreseeable future.

The Reds only brought the Spaniard to Anfield last week on a free transfer, but he didn’t have to wait long to make his debut as replaced his Brazilian teammate 39 minutes in against the Canaries.

While that was the former West Ham United stopper’s 126th Premier League appearance meaning he has plenty of top flight experience, he has had his fair share of dodgy moments of the years, which could be worrying for a club chasing the title.

Here are three examples…

[snack_break title=”Stoke blunder leads to Bojan goal”]

West Ham looked to be on their way to three points at home to Stoke City in 2016 following a second-half own goal from Glenn Whelan, but a moment of madness from Adrian allowed the Potters to snatch a point.

The Spaniard raced out of his area to try and stop a cross from Jon Walters, but as well as failing to prevent that and also bringing the attacker down, Bojan was on hand to score the equaliser.

Manager at the time Slaven Bilic said post-match: “It’s a mistake by Adrian”.

[snack_break title=”Firmino has time for a no-look finish after Adrian error”]

The Irons found themselves 2-0 at Anfield approaching the hour-mark, at a point where the next goal was always going to be crucial.

Unfortunately for the visitors, a mistake by Adrian gifted Jurgen Klopp’s men a third goal, with striker Roberto Firmino even having enough time to produce a no-look finish into the net.

Another day to forget for the stopper, who picked up a 4/10 rating from Football London.

[snack_break title=”Concedes four, should have done better with Ki shot”]

Just a week after the Anfield error, Adrian once again lined up between the sticks for the trip to south Wales to face Swansea – but the result was exactly the same.

The goalkeeper may have been less at fault than the previous away trip despite conceding four goals, but he should have done a lot better from Ki Sung-yueng’s opener for the Swans.

It was hardly well-hit from outside the penalty area as you can see here, but it still beat Adrian’s out-stretched arm to nestle in the bottom corner.

For the second successsive week, it was a 4/10 rating for the stopper from Football London.

[ad_pod ]This article is part of Football FanCast’s In The Pipeline series, which takes a look at some of the most promising young talent either linked with clubs or emerging from their academies…A good old fashioned pre-season friendly is always a good way for a young star to catch the manager’s eye, whilst the majority of the senior stars make their way back to action in drips and drabs after international commitments and what not.On that note, Everton youngster Joe Williams took his chance with both hands in the Toffees’ friendly against Kariobangi Sharks.On a day where Marco Silva’s side somewhat embarrassed themselves against the Kenyan Premier League side, Williams made sure he was noticed.Thogden challenged himself to DM 100 footballers on Instagram. Find out who replied in the video below…A humiliating moment saw the Merseysiders go a goal down, but Williams’ excellent low free-kick under the wall caught the keeper off guard as it nestled into the net.

You can see why some clubs have been lodging bids for the 22-year-old.

The 5 foot 10 midfielder has just 12 months remaining on his contract at Goodison Park, with unnamed Bundesliga sides and Championship outfits bidding for his services.

Silva was keen to take a look at Williams and wanted to take him on the pre-season training camp in Austria last summer, but a knee injury meant that the former captain of the Under-23s was sidelined instead.

Williams has been with Everton since the age of seven, and at the age of 22 you would feel that he is running out of time to impress. To add some context, Richarlison is also 22 years of age, and look where he’s at.

However, his excellent display in the 4-3 loss to Kariobangi Sharks on penalties should mean that he is a player to keep an eye on for Silva and for the Everton supporters.

He clearly has something about him given the amount of interest in his talents this summer.

Perhaps after seeing how Borussia Dortmund have made another young English star in Jadon Sancho a £90m-rated England international, the Toffees would be wise to stick a buy-back clause in any deal they agree to for Williams.

Just in case.

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Transfer Focus series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent transfer news…

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed to the broad strokes of a loan agreement to sign Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid, per AS, via Sport Witness.

What’s the word?

Watch Tottenham Hotspur Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below

The midfielder, who won the European Under-21 Championships with Spain this summer, is expected to step away from Los Blancos.

Indeed, Real are said to be targeting one of Manchester United’s Paul Pogba or Spurs’ Christian Eriksen this summer, which is likely to push Ceballos even further down the club’s pecking order.

He does not want to leave the club on a permanent basis, however, with Marca reporting that he would rather go out on loan.

And AS, via Sport Witness, now claim that Spurs have agreed to take him on a short-term basis, though they have only agreed to the outline of the deal, “opening negotiations” and yet to decide any official details.

There is no mention of a fee being involved and it appears that there has yet to be any talks with the player himself over possible wages or whether, indeed, he wants to move to north London, indicating that a completed deal is still quite far off.

A win-win

This would work brilliantly well for Spurs.

Ceballos is an immensely talented midfielder with a high ceiling – he has already won six senior caps for Spain at the age of 22 and won the Player of the Tournament award at the European Under-21 Championships in 2017.

He is capable of playing through the middle, on both flanks and in defensive midfield.

However, he has made just 56 appearances for Real and a move to north London, where he could work under Pochettino, would be a win-win.

Firstly, he doesn’t leave Real on a permanent basis and the door remains ajar for him to return and make an impact; secondly, he works under an elite coach who can help him progress as a player and thirdly, Spurs don’t have to pay a massive transfer fee.

The Premier League club have already signed Jack Clarke from Leeds United and Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon.

Adding Ceballos into that mix would make this a very exciting summer indeed for Spurs.

Roberto Martinez is a man who has divided opinion throughout his career; is he a brave connoisseur of the beautiful game or a clueless hopeful out of his depth? Well, amid big links in regards to the Spaniard of late, our latest instalment of the Look at him Now feature will delve into his journey to try and discover the answer. 

Well, one thing is for certain: you can’t accuse him of being boring.

Roberto Martinez is a man who demands a, shall we say, certain brand of football. And when we say ‘certain brand’, what we truly mean is a top-heavy attacking bonanza, where everyone and their nan in thrown forwards in a gung-ho-style push that would put World War I military tactics to shame.

Naturally, such an emphasis on attacking play left the defence open for a shafting on more than one occasion, and shipping 50+ goals in two consecutive seasons a result wasn’t exactly something fans were particularly keen on, especially given the plucky efforts they’d become accustomed to in years gone by.

There was also the feeling that Martinez was never really willing to adapt his philosophy and beliefs or devise a backup plan to which he could turn to when his go-to methods weren’t cutting the mustard.

After three years in charge, the Spaniard was eventually released from his duties following Everton’s 3-1 defeat against Premier League champions Leicester City and 3-0 midweek shocker against Sunderland. Not to mention the semi-final losses in the FA Cup and the League Cup the very same season.

To be quite honest, anyone who loses out to the Black Cats by that amount deserves to never get another job in the game. But to our surprise he did. And it wasn’t just any old role. Oh no. It was the holy grail of managerial appointments.

Indeed, you’d be lying if you didn’t pinch yourself when you woke up to the news that Roberto Martinez had been gifted the Belgium national post to command some of the most gifted players in world football.

Likewise, you’d do extremely well to convince us that you didn’t try to gnaw your own arm off when you learned that he had recently been linked with the Barcelona job which was supposed to be free for the taking, before Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu put a stop the rumours by confirming that Ernesto Valverde will return as manager.

Everton fans, what are your standout memories of Roberto Martinez? Let us know in the comments below…

Judging by this post he seems to think keeping the Christmas tree up all year has helped to land City three trophies this year.

The 24-year-old was superb this season and has gone from rotation option to one of the first names on the team-sheet in the space of a single campaign.

The Portuguese international is sensational on the ball but his work rate and immense popularity saw him win Manchester City Player of the Year voted for by the fans of the club.

One of City’s most famous fans, Noel Gallagher, named Silva as his favourite City player at the moment, and it is easy to see why.

Be sure to check out the incredible story of the man who rose from a Tanzanian refugee camp to become one of Australia’s biggest football stars in the video below…

The diminutive midfield-schemer is one of Pep Guardiola’s hardest working players, making on average 1.4 tackles per game and 0.7 interceptions.

While going forward the former-Monaco man is deadly too – in 51 appearances he scored 14 goals and set up a further 13.

All of this, coupled with his infectious personality, strange quirks and now this latest little superstition, and it’s not hard to see why he is quickly becoming the out-and-out fan favourite at the Etihad.

[ad_pod ]

With survival achieved this season at the earliest point since they returned to the Premier League in 2013, Crystal Palace have a number of players to thank for that achievement.

Vicente Guaita has been a huge boost in net, Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been immense at right-back and Wilfried Zaha has been up to his usual tricks.

The Eagles number 11, having said outright that he wants to play Champions League football, could be out the door this summer after another impressive campaign – a departure that would shake Selhurst Park to the core.

However, there is at least one positive for Palace fans to consider.

On the chalkboard

Zaha brings bags of pace, strength and flair to Palace’s attack and he is the main reason why the SE25 outfit are seen as one of the most dangerous counter-attacking teams away from home. They have beaten Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium and nearly got the better of Liverpool at Anfield – results that put them second in the table based on away form in the last 10 games.

However, it isn’t the same story at home, with the Eagles sitting in a lowly 17th place and taking just nine points from their last 10 at Selhurst Park.

With an atmosphere that’s the envy of the Premier League, Palace should be making their home ground a fortress, not taking it with them on their travels.

How, then, can Zaha’s departure re-balance their polarised form both home and away?

Blessing in disguise

Roy Hodgson’s side is built to do damage on the counter and, when on their travels, the Eagles sit back a little more and allow their hosts to have possession – this ultimately allows them to get the best out of the threat they have on the break, to which Zaha is crucial.

Currently, Palace’s plan A both away from and at home is to give the ball to the talismanic winger and let him do what he does best but, without him, their ability to hit teams with speed is significantly weakened, meaning that they will inevitably pick up fewer points on the road.

There’s some exciting changes happening at Crystal Palace next summer. Find out what in the video below…

At Selhurst Park, though, it would see them think of other avenues to attack and create.

This would benefit the likes of Christian Benteke, who would see a lot more crosses headed his way with Zaha no longer there to chop back inside and win penalties.

With Hodgson surely forced to completely change his side’s approach with Zaha out of the picture, Palace fans could see their team pick up more results at SE25 next season should the Ivorian seek pastures new, thus re-balancing their home and away form.

Ultimately, season ticket holders pay their money to see their team get results at home and Zaha’s departure could see them finally get value for their hard-earned cash.
