أوضح ياسين منصور، المرشح على منصب نائب رئيس الأهلي، في الانتخابات القادمة، فكرة طرح أسهم من النادي الأهلي للبيع.
وقال منصور خلال تصريحات عبر قناة الأهلي لبرنامج “حارس الأهلي”: “فكرة طرح أسهم في البورصة مطروحة، لكن القانون ينص على أنه لا يجوز طرح أكثر من 49% وهذا يجعل قيمة النادي تقل، ولا بد أن النسبة تزيد مع الحفاظ على خصوصيات النادي الأهلي، النادي الأهلي عمره ما هيتباع، لكن النادي يحتاج أن يكون لديه دخل واضح يجعله يستمر لـ 300 أو 400 سنة القادمة”.

وأكمل: “حلمي إن الأهلي يلعب في أوروبا، النادي الأهلي يستحق بعدد بطولاته، لابد أن يكون في فكر إننا نجد وسيلة للعب في المستويات العالية”.
وتابع: “أقول للجمهور لا تقلق على ناديك، الأهلي في عنينا وإن شاء الله نعمل من أجل إسعادكم، وأقول للكابتن محمود الخطيب سعيد بالعمل معك وليس لدي أي تطلعات شخصية وأريد فقط مصلحة النادي وانتظر منك خبرتك وتستمر العلاقة بيننا في أحسن حال، من الممكن في المجلس نختلف في الأراء ولكن هذا لمصلحة النادي”.
وأضاف: “لدي أصدقاء من ملاك الأندية في أوروبا مثل مالك تشيلسي، نريد أن نرى ماذا يفعلون ونتعلم منهم، والمفترض أن يكون هناك مدير رياضي يدير منظومة الكرة، هل هذا مناسب لنا أم لا، سنجلس ونتناقش، فأنا لا أريد أن أقول أحلامًا قبل أن أفهم الوضع بشكل كامل”.
واختتم تصريحاته قائلًا: “أنا أرى أن الأهلي يسير بخطى جيدة، لكن المشكلة تحدث عندما يتم التعاقد مع عدد كبير من اللاعبين في وقت قصير، لأن ذلك يسبب خلخلة في الفريق، ولا بد أن يكون هناك مدرب بشخصية قوية قادر على السيطرة على غرفة الملابس، والمدرب الحالي يمتلك هذه الشخصية بالفعل”.
Arsenal are a club with a proud history of developing and platforming some of the most exciting youngsters in English football.
In generations past, the club have been the starting point for legendary superstars like Ashley Cole, Ray Parlour, and Tony Adams.
Then, in more recent years, the likes of Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly have forced their way into the team.
The most recent name to join the list of extraordinary talents who have made the jump from Hale End to the Emirates is Max Dowman, and it already looks like the academy is producing another young talent in his mould.
Why Max Dowman could become an England and Arsenal superstar
If it weren’t for his fellow Hale Ender, Nwaneri, Dowman would have become the youngest Premier League player in history when he took to the pitch against Leeds United last month.
However, unlike the 18-year-old, the Gunners’ latest academy gem has remained a part of the first team squad, and instead of waiting over a year to make his second league appearance, he had to wait just a week.
Moreover, it didn’t come at the end of a comfortable drubbing of a newly promoted side; it came away to Liverpool, when the team were in desperate need of an equaliser, and if that doesn’t tell you just how highly Mikel Arteta and Co rate the youngster, nothing will.
It’s easy to understand why the club believe him to have such a high ceiling, as the Chelmsford-born gem has an outrageous record at junior level and has made a habit of playing well beyond his years.
For example, in just 25 appearances for the U18s, totalling 2104 minutes, he managed to put the ball in the back of the net 20 times and provided ten assists for good measure.

In other words, the teenage phenomenon averaged 1.2 goal involvements per game, or every 70.13 minutes, while playing in an age group well beyond his own.
He’s also made quite a name for himself in the international setup, becoming the youngest player ever to feature for England’s U19s when he came off the bench to face Ukraine last week.
Overall, even though it’s notoriously difficult to predict a youngster’s future, it feels like Dowman is heading to the very top in the not-too-distant future.
So, it’s more than good news that Hale End may already have a right-footed version of him ready to make his own way into the team in the coming years.
Arsenal's right-footed Dowman
Even after the likes of Nwaneri, Lewis-Skelly, and Dowman, Arsenal appear to have a number of genuinely exciting prospects emerging from the Hale End ranks, including Mari Solomon and Andre Harriman-Annous.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast’s In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
Yet, when it comes to someone who could be seen as a right-footed Dowman, it’s impossible to look past Alex Marciniak.
The 17-year-old Welshman may not quite have the output to match the now-first-teamer at the moment, but there are several apparent similarities between the pair and plenty of encouraging signs.
First of all, while the “insane” Cardiff-born talent, as dubbed by academy expert Will Balsam, is primarily viewed as an attacking midfielder at present, he has shown an impressive level of positional versatility over the last year or so.
He has played out on the left wing, in left midfield, and has even made an appearance in defensive midfield, so, like Dowman, he could come in and play wherever the manager needs him.
Second, the teenage gem has a similar ability to glide past opposition defenders, thanks in large part to his “above-average technique”, Rising stars XI put it, and his “tidy footwork,” per Balsam.
Moreover, even though he hasn’t got the numbers of Dowman just yet, there is every chance he could by the end of the year.

Arsenal could have saved a lot of hassle in the transfer market with a decision at Hale End.
ByMatt Dawson Sep 7, 2025
For example, he’s already scored a goal and provided an assist in three appearances for the U18s, has “an eye for goal”, and, according to Balsam, “has a big season ahead of him.”
Ultimately, even though he still has plenty of developing to do, Marciniak looks like he could be the next Hale Ender to make the jump to the first team, and in the process become Arteta’s right-footed Dowman.
عبّر مروان حمدي لاعب نادي الإسماعيلي، عن استيائه من القرارات التحكيمية خلال مواجهة فريقه أمام فاركو، مؤكدًا أن هناك لقطات مثيرة للجدل لم يتم فيها الرجوع إلى تقنية الفيديو “الفار”.
وتعرض الإسماعيلي للهزيمة أمام فاركو بهدف وحيد في المباراة التي جمعت بينهما مساء اليوم ضمن منافسات الدوري المصري.
وقال مروان حمدي في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر برنامج “الماتش” المذاع على قناة “صدى البلد”: “الحمد لله على كل شيء، لكن هناك أمر يشغل الناس جميعًا ويشغلني أنا أيضًا، وأنا أحد كباتن الفريق رغم صِغر سني، لكن حدث أمر في المباراة اليوم”.
وتابع: “الكابتن محمود البنا حكم كبير ومصر كلها تتعلم منه، وهو حكم دولي نحترمه جميعًا، ولكن في لقطة الهدف الأول الكرة قد تكون لمست يد أحد لاعبي فاركو، وبعد ذلك تم احتساب الهدف، وحتى في الاستوديو الكباتن أحمد حسن وحسني عبدربه تحدثا عن اللقطة وقالا إنها تستحق المراجعة بالفار، وبعدها مباشرة كانت هناك لمسة يد أخرى على مدافع فاركو ولم تُحتسب أيضًا، والأسوأ أنه لم يكن هناك رجوع للفار أصلًا”.
وأضاف: “هل الكابتن البنا أبلغ كباتن الفريق بوجود مشكلة في الفار؟ لم يُبلّغ أحدًا، وأنا أتابع حضرتك عندما تحدثت عن طرد أحد لاعبي الأهلي وقلت إن هناك مباريات لا يتوفر فيها الفار، لكن في حالتنا الفار موجود ولم يُستخدم”.
وواصل: “الوضع في الإسماعيلي معروف، وكل مصر تتمنى أن يعود الفريق لمكانه الطبيعي، وسألت بعض اللاعبين هل تحدثتم مع الحكم ليعود للفار؟ قالوا لي نعم، والفار كان يعمل بشكل طبيعي ولا توجد به أي مشكلة”.
وتابع: “الإسماعيلية كلها تقف خلف الفريق، ومعظم اللاعبين صغار في السن بسبب وقف القيد، ويحملون الفريق على أكتافهم، في المباراة السابقة مصر كلها فرحت بفوز الإسماعيلي، ونرغب أن نستمر في الطريق الصحيح”.
وأردف: “هناك أمور كثيرة تتغير في النادي، وروح جديدة نسير بها، لكن قرارات مثل اليوم تغيّر مسار الفريق في الدوري، وفوز مثل هذا كان من الممكن أن يضعنا في مركز مختلف تمامًا، لكن للأسف الوضع تغيّر، وأنا لا أطلب شيئًا سوى العدل، إن كانت الكرة علينا تُحتسب، وإن كانت على الخصم تُحتسب أيضًا، نحن فقط نريد العدالة”.

وعن تأثير الأحداث الإدارية الأخيرة على الفريق، أجاب: “تغيير الإدارة أو تحويلها للنيابة لا علاقة له بنا، هذا ليس من اختصاصنا، اللاعبون مركزون في التدريبات والمعسكرات والمباريات، وهذا هو الأهم الآن، نحن جميعًا نغلق على أنفسنا لنمر من هذه المرحلة الصعبة”.
وأتم: “الحمد لله أنا في آخر مرحلة من العلاج والتأهيل، وإن شاء الله خلال أقل من شهر أو ثلاثة أسابيع سأكون جاهزًا للعودة إلى الملاعب مع زملائي”.
O São Paulo deu a cartada final para tentar antecipar a chegada do ponta Erick junto ao Ceará. O time do Morumbi tem um pré-contrato de quatro anos assinado com o jogador, cujo vínculo com o Vozão nordestino se encerra no final do ano.
Segundo o Lance! apurou, o Tricolor teria sinalizado que aceita ceder por empréstimo aos cearenses até o final do ano as duas revelações de Cotia promovidas ao profissional e que treinam cotidianamente no CT da Barra Funda: os meias Pedrinho Vilhena e Talles Costa.

Com o encerramento da janela de transferências nesta quarta-feira (2/8), a expectativa do São Paulo agora é que se resolvam duas amarras do negócio: o Ceará aceite o negócio. E que seus dois jogadores, sem espaço com o técnico Dorival Júnior, também topem se transferir ao Nordeste. Tudo em menos de 72 horas. Apesar da dificuldade, a confiança é grande pelos lados do Morumbi
Nesta segunda-feira (31), o presidente do Ceará, João Paulo Silva, admitiu pela primeira vez publicamente em entrevista coletiva à imprensa local sobre a inevitável saída do ponta no final do ano. O dirigente, contudo, voltou a desmentir as informações dos jornalistas paulistas sobre as tratativas para a liberação antecipada de Erick, postura que adota desde o início das especulações, no fim do mês passado.
– O que eu posso falar é que ele realmente assinou um pré-contrato com o São Paulo. Mas em momento algum, o Erick pediu para ir antes para o São Paulo. E o São Paulo não nos fez nenhuma proposta para levar o jogador antes do fechamento da janela. Saiu na imprensa que estávamos negociando dois atletas de base, mas isso não é verdade. Eu acredito muito no atleta. Tenho que respeitar a decisão do atleta. Ele fez um contrato com o São Paulo de quatro anos. Conheço o caráter do atleta e sei que ele vai se doar até o fim em busca do nosso acesso.
Em 2023, o atacante de 25 anos tem 39 jogos pelo Alvinegro. Ao todo, são 15 gols marcados e 10 assistências. Titular absoluto na posição, o atleta é o jogador com mais gols e minutos (1.417) do Alvinegro na Série B deste ano. O artilheiro da equipe soma seis tentos marcados no torneio.
Conforme o Lance! revelou na terça-feira (25), o São Paulo avançou nas tratativas com o Ceará para conseguir antecipar a liberação. O clube paulista aceita atender algumas das reivindicações do Vozão para liberar a sua principal peça do plantel que luta para conseguir o acesso na Série B. A principal delas é a liberação de algumas peças reveladas em Cotia por empréstimo para reforçar o clube alvinegro.
O São Paulo busca antecipar a chegada de Erick desde o início do mês, quando acertou um pré-contrato com o atacante. Depois da fracassada negociação com Marinho, o clube do Morumbi vê no jogador de 24 anos a opção ideal para atender a necessidade de um jogador rápido pelos lados do campo, capaz de romper linhas.
Erick foi uma indicação do próprio técnico Dorival Júnior, que trabalhou com ele no Vozão no ano passado. O jogador já foi considerado o quarto maior driblador do mundo e aumentou a idolatria da torcida sendo um dos poucos destaques a seguir no Ceará após o rebaixamento à segunda divisão. Desde o começo do ano e o início do assédio do São Paulo, seu discurso é de querer ficar até o final do ano para ajudar no acesso.
Inicialmente, o Ceará fez jogo duro com a diretoria são-paulina. Pediu o pagamento integral da multa para liberá-lo. Depois o valor chegou a cair para R$ 6 milhões. Diferente de Marinho, quando o clube do Morumbi propagou aos quatro ventos o interesse e a proposta, desta vez adotou o silêncio. E para ajudar a amolecer os corações cearenses, até emprestou o lateral-direito Orejuela, sem espaço no Tricolor, para ajudar na aproximação. Ao que tudo indica, a tática, agora, deu certo.

Rapid Fire: Did DC get their tactics wrong?
For a change, there was no change at the top of the IPL 2025 Orange Cap table after Tuesday night’s match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. On the Purple Cap table, though, Mitchell Starc and Varun Chakravarthy climbed a few steps. Here’s a look at the standings.Purple Cap tableRoyal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) Josh Hazlewood remains at the top of the bowling chart with 18 wickets from ten games. Just one wicket behind him is Gujarat Titans’ (GT) Prasidh Krishna, followed by Noor Ahmad of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) with 14.With his three-wicket haul on Tuesday, DC’s Starc has drawn level with Noor in terms of wickets but is at fourth spot because of his inferior economy rate – 10.16 compared to Noor’s 8.03. KKR’s Varun, who picked up 2 for 39, is fifth and leads the pack of four bowlers with 13 wickets each. The other three are Mumbai Indians’ (MI) Trent Boult, RCB’s Krunal Pandya and Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) Harshal Patel.Orange Cap tableThe race for the Orange Cap is pretty intense with only 52 runs separating the table-topper B Sai Sudharsan (456) of GT and sixth-placed Nicholas Pooran (404) of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).A couple of days ago, Suryakumar Yadav (427) of MI had toppled Sai Sudharsan and then Virat Kohli (443) of RCB had gone past both of them but Sai Sudharsan regained his position since then.Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is at No. 4 with 426 runs and Jos Buttler, the GT No. 3, at No. 5 with 406.Meanwhile, here’s what the ESPNcricinfo MVP table looks like at this stage.Here are some other IPL 2025 tables that might interest you.Highest batting strike ratesBest bowling economy ratesMost sixesBest bowling figures in a match
Friday night’s clash in the Championship between Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion saw two early-season heavyweights in the second-tier do battle.
Indeed, heading into the match, Rob Edwards’ Boro sat pretty at the top of the division on an unbeaten streak of form. At the same time, Ryan Mason’s Baggies happily occupied a spot in the playoff positions.
Both of these statements would still ring true at the final whistle, but depending on results elsewhere on Saturday, West Brom might find themselves slipping out of that coveted top-six after succumbing to a 2-1 loss at the Riverside Stadium.
Aune Heggebo would trudge off the pitch at the end of the defeat with his head held high, at least, with his consolation effort at the death going down as his first-ever goal in England.
However, that can’t be said for all of Mason’s troops, with many others putting in underwhelming displays against the campaign’s initial pace-setters.
West Brom underperformers against Boro
Mason might well have fancied his side’s slim chances away at the league leaders heading into the tense clash, considering West Brom unsettled Wrexham on their own patch earlier on this season.
Unfortunately, a second league defeat is now next to the Baggies’ name instead of a celebratory fourth victory, with first-team regular Jayson Molumby struggling throughout.
Indeed, the usually tenacious and tough-tackling number eight could only muster up a weak two duels won from ten attempts, as per Sofascore, with his midfield teammate on the night, Ousmane Diakité, also struggling in this department, as the Malian only won two duels as well, on top of failing to register a single accurate cross or long ball.
Isaac Price also didn’t look at his best on the road at the Riverside, with the often vibrant number 21 struggling to make much of an impact down the left flank, with zero on-target efforts troubling Solomon Brynn in the home side’s net.
On the contrary, the confident home side managed to pack their shooting boots when cutting the Baggies apart with fast-paced moves, with Price not the only shoddy performer down the wings.
The West Brom star now on borrowed time
Mason has stuck by a consistent starting XI so far this season, but with two defeats now in a row, wholesale changes could be in the offing.
Jed Wallace will be worried about his starting spot moving forward, with the experienced EFL attacker only lasting 62 minutes against Edwards’ men, before being handed his marching orders by his 34-year-old manager.

At first glance, Wallace’s numbers from the 2-1 defeat don’t look absolutely horrendous, with the 31-year-old winger only misplacing one of his passes all night.
Yet, when you delve deeper, it’s clear that the former Millwall man offered very little in attack – away from neatly spraying the ball about – to try and kickstart a comeback, with zero on-target efforts notched up from his hour on the Riverside turf, on top of just one accurate cross being delivered into the danger area to try and catch the table-topping hosts out.
Looking even further doesn’t get any better, either, with Wallace also failing to complete a single successful dribble when attempting to be a thorn in Boro’s side, whilst also failing to win a single duel as a passive performer on the right flank.
This has been a tale of Wallace’s middling season, for the most part, with the Baggies captain fading in and out of contests at an alarming rate, as seen in him averaging just 21.5 touches per Championship contest so far this season.
It could be time for Mason to ditch the seasoned veteran; therefore, with Mikey Johnston offering lots more from off the bench when thrown into the match in Wallace’s place, as seen in the Irishman winning two duels and completing two gung-ho dribbles to push his struggling team up the pitch.
Wallace could still be an option Mason relies on as a substitute, but based on his no-show at the Riverside, his first-team minutes might not be so plentiful in the games to come.

West Bromwich Albion will know they can rely on this gem if the promotion race heats up.
A Neo Química Arena foi uma opção do Flamengo para enfrentar o Athletico-PR, no dia 13 de setembro, pela 23ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. O Corinthians, no entanto, recusou ceder o seu estádio ao clube carioca. No lugar, o Fla já oficializou a escolha por Cariacica, no Espírito Santo. Esse movimento acontece porque o Maracanã ficará fechado por, pelo menos, 20 dias, para melhorias a serem feitas no gramado.

Para o Flamengo, a prioridade era a utilização do Mané Garrincha, em Brasília, mas a condição do gramado e a realização de um show dias antes do confronto na Arena BRB deixou a situação inviável. O Rubro-Negro, então, partiu para outras opções e definiu o Estádio Kleber Andrade, em Cariacica, como alternativa.
No entanto, houve a procura pelo estádio corintiano antes dos flamenguistas oficializarem que jogariam no Espírito Santo. O Corinthians não deseja externar o que levou a não aceitar, ou até mesmo alocar, o espaço ao Rubro-Negro, como fez recentemente ao Bragantino. No dia 10 de agosto, o Massa Bruta usou a casa alvinegra para receber o América-MG, pela Copa Sul-Americana, pois o Nabi Abi Chedid não possui a capacidade mínima para receber jogos das oitavas de final da competição continental.

Em 2021, o Timão cedeu a Neo Química Arena ao Flamengo, que disputou um clássico com o Fluminense, em Itaquera, pelo Brasileirão daquela temporada. Na época, a equipe carioca já era presidida por Rodolfo Landim e tinha Marcos Braz como vice-presidente de futebol.
Porém, a relação entre as diretorias corintiana e flamenguista não é a mesma daquela época. A situação esfriou bastante por conta de divergências antes da final da Copa do Brasil do ano passado, que foi decidida entre eles. O motivo principal foi o preço cobrado nos ingressos aos torcedores visitantes no Maracanã.
A ideia do Corinthians era, ainda que cobrando mais caro que ‘jogos comuns’, colocar os preços dos ingressos acessíveis para a decisão, principalmente por considerar a questão do deslocamento dos torcedores que saíram do Estado para assistir à partida. Houve uma série de tentativas de contatos por conta do clube alvinegro para chegar a uma ação conjunta com o Flamengo, mas elas foram ignoradas.
+ Marcelinho Carioca maior ídolo do Corinthians? Redação do Lance! opina sobre lendas do clube
A alternativa que o Timão encontrou, então, foi cobrar um valor acessível a sua torcida e pagar do bolso a quantia restante. Para isso, o clube alvinegro colocou o ingresso dos visitantes no jogo de ida, em Itaquera, no mesmo preço instituído pelo Fla para o jogo de volta, no Maracanã. Uma forma do clube do Parque São Jorge equilibrar o cofre.
Além disso, do ano passado para cá, ocorreram algumas divergências de posicionamento entre os clubes. Entre elas, as discussões da Libra. O Flamengo lidera um movimento oposto aos interesses da maioria das equipes do coletivo. O Corinthians discorda, ainda que esteja tratando a situação com discrição.
Lancashire openers add 177 for first wicket to set up second win in a row
ESPNcricinfo staff31-May-2025
Jennings continued his sparkling start to the Blast•Dan Adams
Lancashire 216 for 3 (Jennings 95, Wells 87) beat Notts Outlaws 169 (Henriques 60, Barnard 3-23) by 47 runsLancashire openers Keaton Jennings and Luke Wells shared 177 inside 16 overs – the highest ever partnership for any wicket in the Vitality Blast North Group – as Lightning beat Nottinghamshire Outlaws by 47 runs at Emirates Old Trafford.Having elected to bat, Jennings crashed 95 off 49 balls and Wells 87 off 50 as Lightning totalled 216 for three to set up a second straight win to start their campaign.The Outlaws, who replied with 169 all out, have now won one, lost one. Less than 24 hours earlier, they conceded 226 for five against the Bears at Trent Bridge but chased it easily.This target was achievable even on a used pitch. But Lancashire returned a polished bowling display including a superb debut three for 23 from four overs for left-arm spinner Charlie Barnard. Moises Henriques made 60 off 32 balls for Notts.Jennings and Wells shared 79 on the same pitch in victory over Worcestershire on Thursday, and the two left-handers excelled again.They hit six sixes apiece and were dominant down the ground against both seam and spin. The 13 sixes in the innings equalled a Lightning record.Jennings had actually been dropped off his first ball, getting a leading edge off the part-time spin of Matt Montgomery, who went one-handed diving to his right.Dillon Pennington, Daniel Sams and the left-arm spin of Liam Patterson-White all claimed a wicket apiece for the Outlaws, but Montgomery was the pick of their attack, returning nought for 20 from four overs of off-spin.Wells reached his fifty first off 34 balls shortly before Jennings got his second in as many games off 27 on Pride day at Emirates Old Trafford.They bettered the previous North Group record stand – 175 between openers Graeme Hick and Vikram Solanki for Worcestershire against Northamptonshire at Kidderminster in 2007.After Wells uppercut the pace of Pennington to short third man to end the partnership, Notts did well to drag things back. They could easily have been chasing more.Henriques took a superb leaping catch at backward point to help Patterson-White remove his fellow Australian Ashton Turner as two wickets fell in the last 15 balls of the innings.Bustling pacer Tom Aspinwall then struck twice in the third over of the Outlaws’ chase – 21 for two – as captain Joe Clarke drilled to cover and fellow opener Lyndon James was bowled.Jack Haynes and lead partner Henriques then settled things and advanced by sharing 61 inside six overs, the latter hoisting two big leg-side sixes in that time.But when Haynes cut 20-year-old Barnard, who took the new ball, to cover for his first T20 wicket on debut, Lancashire were ahead again at 82 for three in the ninth.Veteran Henriques reached a 21-ball fifty moments later, and you felt he had to be the match-winner.So when he was trapped lbw by Barnard, shortly followed by Sams bowled later in the 15th over, it felt like game over at 131 for six. It proved true.Like Barnard, Aspinwall was excellent with three for 26. So to was overseas off-spinner Chris Green with two for 28.
انتقد أسطورة أتلتيكو مدريد وقائد الفريق السابق، جابي، نجم نادي ريال مدريد، معترفًا في الوقت ذاته أنه يكره تصرفات اللاعب كثيرًا.
وتعرض فينيسيوس جونيور لاعب ريال مدريدإلى انتقادات كثيرة خلال السنوات الماضية، وذلك في ظل تصرفاته المثيرة للجدل سواء داخل أو خارج الملعب ودخوله في مناوشات مع الفريق الخصم.
وأثار فينيسيوس من جديد الجدل حوله خلال الفترة الماضية، حيث اعترض على تبديله خلال مواجهة الكلاسيكو بين ريال مدريد وبرشلونة ورفض مصافحة المدرب تشابي ألونسو.
كما قام فينيسيوس الدخول في مشادة كلامية مع جناح برشلونة، لامين يامال ، عقب نهاية المباراة.
وفي تصريحات إلى ”El Larguero” ، يرى أسطورة أتلتيكو مدريد وقائد الفريق السابق، جابي، أن سلوك فينيسيوس سيئ حقًا حيث قال: “إنه يختبر كل من حوله يوميًا، بالنسبة لي كان ما فعله ألونسو متوقعًا، فالمدرب هو من يجب أن يتخذ القرار”.

وأضاف: ”أكثر ما أكرهه في لاعب كرة القدم هو التمثيليات واللفتات المبالغ فيها، وأن يتعرض لاختبار أمام الجمهور ويتصرف بشكل سييء، افعل ما تشاء خلف الكواليس وليس هناك مشكلة في ذلك”.
وأوضح جابي في حديثه: ”ماذا كنت سأفعل بعد الكلاسيكو؟ بعد المباراة، يجب أن تتحدث معه، لا يمكنك تجاهل الأمر وتركه يصدر بيانًا دون أن يعتذر للمدرب، هذا أمر غير مقبول وأناني”.
وأردف: ”إنه مزيج من عدة أمور، أن تنجرف وتفعل أشياء في رأيي غير لائقة، أن تحكم على زملائك في الفريق والمدرب وبلد بأكمله، وتقول إننا جميعًا عنصريون، ما الذي يحدث بحق الجحيم؟ هذا ليس طريقي ومن الصعب جدًا التعامل بهذه الطريقة، أن تنجرف وتفعل أشياءً غير صحيحة”.
واختتم جابي حديثه عن فينيسيوس: ”لا أحد يستطيع أن يظن أنه فوق الفريق، أي لاعب يشعر بالتفوق لديه مشكلة، إلا إذا كنت ليونيل ميسي الذي فاز بالمباريات بمفرده”.
Manchester United supporters are clinging on to all and any green shoots of recovery right now.
On Saturday, Rúben Amorim’s team claimed a much-needed victory going into the international break, beating Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford, thanks to goals from Mason Mount and then Benjamin Šeško.
Next up, the Red Devils take on champions and fierce rivals Liverpool at Anfield, before tough-looking fixtures against Brighton, Nottingham Forest and then Tottenham.
Ahead of this challenging period, has Amorim unearthed a deadly attacking duo reminiscent of Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole from Manchester United’s glory days?
In numbers: Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole at Man United
Back in 1998/98, Manchester United famously won the treble, beating Newcastle in the FA Cup Final, pipping Arsenal to the Premier League title by a solitary point on the final day, before that historic comeback against Bayern Munich to snatch the Champions League.
Fair to say, Yorke and Cole were key figures in this success, scoring 29 and 24 goals respectively across all competitions.
As the table below documents, this makes them one of the most dangerous attacking duos in Premier League history.

Yorke, who is currently the manager of Trinidad and Tobago, bet you didn’t know that, arrived at Old Trafford from Aston Villa, later representing Blackburn, Birmingham and Sunderland.
Cole meantime, was poached from Newcastle, where he’d been a massive star, turning out for 12 English clubs in total.
Now, does the current iteration of Manchester United have a duo who could replicate the famous Yorke and Cole duo?

As Amorim searches for a winning formula, while they may not be a traditional strike partnership, Amad Diallo alongside Bryan Mbeumo could be the pair of attackers to fire Manchester United up the table.
Amad was arguably the Red Devils’ most dangerous attacker last season, registering 11 goals and ten assists, most memorably scoring a stoppage-time winner in the Manchester derby at the Etihad.
After arriving as a teenager from Atalanta for up to £37m, the Ivorian endured an underwhelming loan spell at Rangers, before showcasing his talents at Sunderland, scoring 14 goals for the Black Cats, firing them into the EFL Championship play-offs.
Now, Amad is earning plaudits for his performances back at Man United, with Darren Bent, speaking on talkSPORT, labelled him a “wonderkid”, adding that he is the club’s “best [player] by some distance” after he scored a hat-trick against Southampton in January.
Mbeumo, meanwhile, joined for a reported fee of £71m this summer, having scored 20 Premier League goals for Brentford last season.
The Cameroonian international opened his Man United league account against Burnley in August, while he has had more shots (17) of any player at the club so far this season.
An electric winger, Carl Anka of the Athletic has asserted that he is certainly ‘one of the better forwards in the Premier League’.
So now, how does Amorim get both into the same starting lineup?
Well, Man United signed an entirely new front three in the summer, with Matheus Cunha yet to get off the mark, but Šeško has scored against both Brentford and Sunderland, thereby opening his account for the club.

In a solution to get them all in, Amad was deployed at wing-back for Sunderland’s visit, a decision that proved successful.
At the weekend, as outlined by Adam Bate of Sky Sports, Amad and Mbeumo as a duo were very ‘impressive’, with the Ivorian attempting six dribbles, his highest figure in any home league game under Amorim, with the manager himself stating that “he can help Bryan to play more inside and worry more with the runs behind the defenders”.
Chalkboard
Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.
Well, Black Cats boss Régis Le Bris certainly agreed, noting afterwards that Man United “are really strong on the side”, adding that this forced him into making a lesser-spotted tactical substitution in the first half.
Meantime, journalist Muhammad Butt labelled them a “superb double-act”, praising their “wonderful chemistry and creativity”, with Carl Anka of the Athletic concluding that this match was 2the best pair have played with each other” to date.
Thus, Amad’s form both last season and at the weekend necessitates getting him into the side somehow.
For tougher fixtures, he should potentially be used at Cunha’s expense in attack, while in games where the onus is on Manchester United to create and break down the opposition, he has to be chosen over Diogo Dalot or Noussair Mazraoui at right-wing-back, given that they offer so little going forward.
In summary, it is still early days, but this duo could be Man United’s best partnership since the glory days of the late-90s.
