Spurs: Where is Paulinho now?

After arriving as one of the ‘magnificent seven’ brought in to replace Gareth Bale in 2013, Paulinho’s career at Spurs failed to really ignite.

The Brazilian came in off the back of Confederations Cup success with his country over Spain just a week before his move, and there were even suggestions that the likes of Inter and Real Madrid were interested in signing him.

The midfielder struggled to really stand out in a team trying to compete for the top four under Andre Villas-Boas, with perhaps his back-heeled winner against Cardiff his most eye-catching moment.

Aside from that, Paulinho seemed to coast by in games, and his red card for a high boot on Luis Suarez in a 5-0 home thrashing at the hands of Liverpool largely summed up a hugely disappointing Spurs career.

It was no surprise that he was eventually sold by Daniel Levy to Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande for a reported fee of around £10m – a £7m loss from what the north Londoners paid to sign him for in the first place.

In a piece by The Guardian’s David Hytner following Paulinho’s departure to Guangzhou, he noted: “Paulinho was well liked within the club at Tottenham. He was a quiet and extremely religious family man and his professionalism was not questioned. His English was passable and he understood everything clearly. It was not that he failed to settle, rather that he could not make his mark.

“Yet it says much for Paulinho’s current standing in the game that many Tottenham fans have lauded their chairman, Daniel Levy, as a magician for not only removing the player’s £55,000-a-week wage from the club’s books but for receiving such a healthy fee for him. It still represents a loss on the £17m or so that Tottenham pledged to Corinthians but, frankly, nobody saw eight figures coming back for Paulinho.”

While the Brazilian’s performances in China eventually earned him a big-money move to Barcelona, he found himself quickly out of the picture with the La Liga giants after less than 50 games for them.

Now valued at just £4.5m, and plying his trade back in his native Brazil with former club Corinthians, Paulinho may be best remembered by Spurs fans as someone who had a ‘what could have been’ career.

Celtic: Source drops Christopher Scott update

The Daily Record have provided an update on Celtic’s pursuit of Bayern Munich teenager Christopher Scott.

The Lowdown: Scott links

Celtic appear to be making a head start on their summer business, with links of a move for Scott emerging earlier this week.

Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg revealed that the Hoops have held talks over a swoop for the 19-year-old, with Premier League side Brentford also following suit.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/celtic-updates-23/” title=”Celtic updates!!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Scott, an attacking midfielder who can also play as a central midfielder or second striker, has contributed to eight goals in 13 games for Bayern’s reserve side but does have two senior appearances for the German giants to his name.

The Latest: Source drops update

The Daily Record shared a story regarding Scott on Wednesday after being informed by a source close to the negotiations.

Bayern aren’t willing to let the teenager go on a free transfer and it would cost around €300,000 to €400,000 for his services.

A move to Scotland has been described as a ‘massive option’, with the source revealing that ‘Celtic are serious contenders’ in the race for Scott’s services.

The Verdict: Heating up…

It looks as if Ange Postecoglou and Michael Nicholson are extremely keen on bringing Scott to Scotland, and a fee appears to be well in the club’s price range.

He wants to play regular senior football, something Celtic may well be able to offer more of compared to both Bayern and Brentford.

Winning the Premiership and guaranteeing Champions League football could also be a huge factor in a possible move, so it seems as if a summer swoop does have legs following initial rumours.

Brad Hodge helps beat former team-mates

ScorecardLeicestershire spin duo Brad Hodge and Claude Henderson ended Lancashire’s unbeaten start to their Friends Provident t20 campaign with a 14-run win at Old Trafford. The home side were reasonably well placed in their pursuit of 142 at 63 for 1 in the 10th over but they slipped to 104 for 7 in the 18th with Henderson and Hodge the catalysts.Offspinner Hodge, who spent four seasons as Lancashire’s overseas player ending in 2008, took 2 for 16 from his four overs and Henderson 2 for 19. Captain Matthew Hoggard also claimed 3 for 19 as Lancashire finished 127 for 9. The visitors have now won two North Division matches on the bounce.James Benning top scored with a season’s best 49 off 45 balls as his side posted a competitive 141 for 6. Stephen Parry took 3 for 26 for Lancashire. Jacques du Toit and Benning shared 35 for the first wicket before the former chipped Glen Chapple to midwicket for 31, leaving the score at 35 for 1 in the fifth.Parry bowled Hodge for four but Paul Nixon came in and planted two maximums over mid-wicket and wide long on during his next over, the ninth. Leicestershire reached 68 for 2 after 10. After scoring just two runs in the opening partnership Benning hit his first boundary in the 11th over when he swept left-arm spinner Simon Kerrigan.He also hit his first six, swept in front of square off Parry, to bring up his side’s 100 for the loss of two wickets in the 15th. Leicestershire, however, were three down before the end of the over because Nixon, on the reverse sweep, found a diving Paul Horton running in from the square leg boundary.Horton did superbly to hold on because he collided with Kerrigan running round from fine leg, with 101 for 3 the score. Benning and Nixon had added 53 in 44 balls for the third wicket. Benning then found Kerrigan in the deep off Parry in the 17th before Wayne White was run out in the same over to leave the score at 112 for 5. Josh Cobb was also run out in the last but he and James Taylor added a handy 21 for the sixth wicket.Lancashire lost Horton to Hoggard in the first over of their chase but Simon Katich, dropped on four by Nixon, hit three boundaries off Harry Gurney in the second over. He and Tom Smith shared 57 for the second wicket but that was as good as it got for the hosts.Katich’s dismissal, stumped off Hodge, was the first of seven wickets to fall for 49 runs to end the contest. Stephen Moore was bowled off his body by Henderson, who later bowled Mahmood, while Hodge also snared Steven Croft.Hoggard added his second and third wickets, those of Mark Chilton caught behind and Smith caught by Benning at deep midwicket. Nadeem Malik also took two wickets. Leicestershire were also the only side to beat Lancashire in last season’s competition, aside from the Somerset bowl out in the last eight.

Everton: Toffees tried to sign Luka Jovic

Everton made an unsuccessful attempt to sign Luka Jovic on transfer deadline day, Fabrizio Romano has revealed. 

The lowdown

It was a largely positive deadline day for the Toffees as they announced the appointment of Frank Lampard as their new manager before sealing the signings of Donny van de Beek from Manchester United (on loan) and Dele Alli from Tottenham.

They finished January with five new additions, having recruited Vitaliy Mykolenko, Nathan Patterson and Anwar El-Ghazi earlier in the month. Only Watford brought in more fresh faces among Premier League clubs in January, and only Newcastle United and Liverpool spent more money (via Transfermarkt).

The latest

At 9:30pm on Monday night, Romano took to Twitter to claim that Everton had made a last-gasp bid to try and sign Luka Jovic from Real Madrid, but their advances were flatly rejected.

The journalist tweeted: “Real Madrid have turned down Everton approaches for Luka Jović today. No chance.”

The verdict

Was it a big blow to miss out on Jovic?

Everton have only scored 24 goals in their first 20 Premier League matches, but that disappointing return can largely be put down to the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The Toffees’ top scorer from last season has only been fit enough to start six league games so far this term, which clearly has negated the team’s attacking threat.

Jovic, who has 57 senior career goals at the age of 24, may have been regarded as a more effective backup than Salomon Rondon, who has only netted once in 708 minutes of top-flight football in 2021/22, but the Serbian may not have accepted being a substitute at Goodison Park.

Perhaps the £18m-rated forward, who earns £152,000 per week in the Spanish capital, will be on Everton’s radar if Calvert-Lewin is lured to Arsenal, having been linked with the north Londoners lately.

In other news, Everton also tried to bring this man back to Goodison Park.

Robinson thrilled by Rudiger to Spurs links

Speaking to Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur pundit Paul Robinson has been left thrilled as managing director Fabio Paratici allegedly plots talks to sign Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger as a free agent.

The Lowdown: Paratici prepared…

According to Football Insider, Tottenham will step up their bid to sign Rudiger ‘this week’ with Paratici talks ‘lined up’ as his contract winds down at Stamford Bridge.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/spurs-latest-updates-5/” title=”Spurs latest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Germany international, who’s deal expires in the summer of 2022 as things stand, could leave west London as a free agent at the end of this season – alerting both Spurs and Paratici.

It is believed that Spurs discussions to sign Rudiger will take place behind the scenes, according to Football Insider, with Robinson thrilled by this latest N17 transfer development.

The Latest: Robinson reacts…

The former Spurs goalkeeper, speaking to FI, claims Chelsea’s star defender would be a ‘big signing’ for Spurs and a ‘statement’.

“He is a player I really admire. He is one of the Premier League’s best centre-halves.

“If they can attract him to move across London, wow, what a great signing it would be. I think they can persuade him to join with Conte being there.

“I don’t think for one minute it will be easy business to do though. Chelsea and Spurs do not do business.

“If they can pick him up on a free in the summer it would be a big signing. A big statement as well. There are not many better than Rudiger.”

The Verdict: Get it done…

Signing Rudiger on a free, even despite how difficult it could be to do, would be a fantastic bit of business for the club and a real boost for manager Antonio Conte.

Rejuvenated under Thomas Tuchel over 2021, pundit Rio Ferdinand has likened him to Man City star Ruben Dias whilst calling him ‘unbelievable’ and an ‘animal’ – perhaps summing up his obvious quality (FIVE via The Mirror).

The £100,000-per-week ace, depending on his demands, could also have a realistic salary expectation going by his current wages with the 28-year-old also in his prime.

Presidente do São Paulo promete que não negociará Pratto

MatériaMais Notícias

Tratada como a motivação do pedido de demissão de Vinicius Pinotti, ex-diretor executivo de futebol do São Paulo, uma suposta negociação do Tricolor com o Cruzeiro pelo atacante Lucas Pratto foi negada pelo presidente Carlos Augusto de Barros e Silva, o Leco. Na apresentação do ídolo Raí como novo chefe do futebol profissional do clube do Morumbi, o cartola tricolor lamentou as especulações sobre o tema.

– Quando o Cruzeiro me consultou a respeito do Hudson, me perguntaram se eu negociaria o Pratto e eu disse que não. O São Paulo não está negociando e não vai negociar o Lucas Pratto, cravou o presidente do Tricolor em entrevista no CT da Barra Funda.

Nesta semana, os gestores do clube de Belo Horizonte entraram em contato com o dirigente são-paulino para especular a situação contratual de Pratto. De olho na Copa Libertadores no ano que vem, o time de Mano Menezes busca um centroavante experiente com perfil brigador e eficiente nas bolas aéreas. Na visão dos cruzeirenses, o argentino seria o nome ideal.

Um suposto interesse de Leco em negociar seu camisa 9 com a equipe de Minas Gerais teria sido má vista por Pinotti que, descontente com a decisão do presidente, optou por entregar o cargo à diretoria e deixar o departamento de futebol do São Paulo.

Liverpool fans flock to Bellingham claim

Flocking to Twitter, many Liverpool fans have erupted over the latest transfer claim involving Borussia Dortmund sensation Jude Bellingham.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are currently flying high near the top of the Premier League table and have also set a Champions League footnote, becoming the first English team to win every one of their group stage matches in a single season.

However, despite their fine form, many fans are still eager to see how the squad may strengthen in future, with Dortmund youngster Bellingham reported to be a prime target.

The England international is said to be attracting interest from Liverpool, with The Mirror now dropping a pretty promising transfer claim. It is believed that the Reds, and by extension owners FSG, are ‘making plans’ to bring the teenager back to England and currently ‘lead the race’ for his services next summer.

Indeed, Klopp has apparently personally identified the 18-year-old as a target to strengthen his options in midfield.

Liverpool fans erupt…

Dortmund defender Mats Hummels is certainly full of admiration for the teenage talent, describing him as a leader and “serious” at such a young age, leaving little wonder why so many Reds fans are joyous at the prospect of signing him.

Only the Anfield front three Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane have averaged a higher rate of completed dribbles per 90 than Bellingham this season (WhoScored). Meanwhile, the midfield maestro sits just behind Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool in terms of league assists, racking up five in just 13 Bundesliga starts.

Taking into account his age and his homegrown status, it is little wonder that some Liverpool fans even believe he would be a ‘dream signing’ – check out some of their best reactions below:

موسيماني: منتخبات إفريقيا يمكنها تخطي نصف نهائي المونديال بشرط وحيد

يؤمن مدرب الأهلي السابق، بيتسو موسيماني أن أحد المنتخبات الإفريقية سيكسر حاجز نصف نهائي كأس العالم إذا وضعت القارة مزيدًا من الثقة في مدربيها.

ويشهد مونديال قطر 2022 الذي ينطلق في نوفمبر المقبل، وجود منتخبات السنغال وتونس والمغرب والكاميرون وغانا ممثلة للقارة الإفريقية.

وقال موسيماني لبي بي سي سبورت إفريقيا: “الثقة في المدربين الأفارقة أمر هائل ويظهر إحساسًا كبيرًا بالنمو في القارة يجب أن يستمر”.

وأضاف: “هذه ليست حملة ضد المدربين الـجانب وانما تصفيق لصناع القرار في اتحاداتنا الوطنية”.

تابع: “يتساءل الكثير من الناس عن سبب عدم تجاوز المنتخبات الإفريقية دور الثمانية أو التنافس على لقب كأس العالم نفسه، وأعتقد أن هذه خطوة كبيرة للوصول إلى هناك”.

وأصر: “يمكن لأفريقيا بالتأكيد كسر حاجز نصف النهائي هذا إذا دعمنا مدربينا الذين يفهمون حقًا العقلية والتحديات الثقافية والأساليب المطلوبة للأداء”.

وصلت ثلاثة منتخبات أفريقية فقط إلى ربع نهائي المونديال من قبل؛ الكاميرون في 1990 تحت قيادة فاليري نيبومنياشي، السنغال في 2002 كان يقودها الفرنسي برونو ميتسو ثم غانا في 2010 مع ميلوفان راجيفاتش الصربي.

لطالما كان الجدل حول قلة الفرص للمدربين الأفارقة في بلدانهم نقاشًا حماسيًا، حيث يعتقد أن العديد من الاتحادات تميل نحو الأجانب عند تعيين مدرب للمنتخب.

لكن اختيار مدربين محليين هذه المرة هو تحول كبير لصالح القارة، الذين طغى عليهم مدربون من أوروبا وأمريكا الجنوبية في النهائيات منذ فترة طويلة.

كان هناك ارتفاع كبير في عدد المدربين الأفارقة الذين تركوا بصماتهم في قارتهم.

وسيتولى الركراكي، الذي يبلغ من العمر 47 عامًا يوم الجمعة، قيادة أسود الأطلس بعد موسم ناجح في الدوري المغربي حيث قاد الوداد إلى دوري أبطال إفريقيا ولقب محلي.

ويتولى أليو سيسيه قائد منتخب السنغال الأسبق تدريب أسود التيرانجا منذ 2015 وساعد اللاعب البالغ من العمر 46 عامًا منتخب غرب إفريقيا على تحقيق أول نجاح قاري في وقت مبكر من هذا العام قبل أن يتأهل للمشاركة للمرة الثانية على التوالي في نهائيات كأس العالم.

جلال القادري (50 عاما) أشرف على هزيمة مالي في الأدوار الفاصلة ليختتم ظهور تونس للمرة السادسة في النهائيات بعد توليه المسؤولية بعد خروجهم من دور الستة عشر في كأس الأمم هذا العام.

بعد اللعب في أربع نهائيات لـ كأس العالم للكاميرون، تم تعيين سونج مدربًا للأسود التي لا تقهر في فبراير وحصل على الرقم القياسي الثامن في التأهل للنهائيات العالمية بعد فوزه في الملحق على الجزائر.

ومن المقرر أن يصبح قلب الدفاع السابق، البالغ من العمر 46 عامًا، ثاني كاميروني، بعد الراحل ليونارد نيسيكي في عام 1994، ليقود الدولة الواقعة في وسط إفريقيا في الحدث العالمي.

لعب أوتو أدو مع غانا في بطولة 2006، وتولى اللاعب البالغ من العمر 47 عامًا تدريب النجوم السوداء بعد خروجهم من دور المجموعات من كأس الأمم في يناير.

وقاد الفريق إلى تصفيات كأس العالم للمرة الأولى منذ 2014 بعد فوزه على منافسه الشرس نيجيريا بقاعدة الأهداف خارج الأرض.

وعلّق موسيماني: “مدربونا الذين يذهبون إلى كأس العالم مؤهلون ومستعدون بشكل كافٍ لهذا الدور لأنه لا يتجاوز قدراتهم”.

وتابع: “أعرف شقيقي أليو سيسه ووليد الركراكي جيدًا لأننا شاركنا الفصول الدراسية خلال دورة ترخيص اتحاد كرة القدم الإفريقي المحترف، لقد أثبت كلاهما نفسه في الوظيفة وحصل على أعلى شهادات تدريب أيضًا”.

واصل موسيماني: “سونج لا يحتاج إلى مقدمة في كرة القدم العالمية قبل توليه منصبه في الكاميرون، في حين أظهر أوتو هدوء الإدارة لقيادة غانا، ولقد عمل القادري بشكل جيد لتونس لإيصالهم إلى البطولة”.

وشدد: “لا شيء مستحيل في كرة القدم وبسبب مؤسستهم ومعرفتهم المحلية، فإنهم أكثر من قادرين على قيادة بلادهم في كأس العالم”.

من أشهر الشخصيات في كرة القدم الأفريقية، يظل ستيفن كيشي قائد نيجريا السابق، واحداً من رجلين فقط فازا بكأس الأمم الأفريقية كلاعب ومدرب.

إنه الإفريقي الوحيد الذي تأهل مع دولتين مختلفتين إلى نهائيات كأس العالم – توجو في عام 2006 ونيجيريا في عام 2014 وحقق نجاحًا حيث فشل الأوروبيون، الذين غالبًا ما يتم توظيفهم مقابل تكلفة باهظة.

في نهائيات البرازيل 2014، قاد نيجيريا إلى الدور الثاني، ولا يزال كيشي المدرب الإفريقي الوحيد الذي ظهر في مرحلة خروج المغلوب من كأس العالم.

وانتقد كيشي، الذي توفي عن 54 عامًا في يونيو 2016، اعتماد إفريقيا على المدربين الأجانب.

بشكل عام، فاز مدرب محلي بحدث كرة القدم الأول في إفريقيا – كأس الأمم – في 16 مناسبة، حيث انتصر المدربون الأجانب 17 مرة.

وقد ساعد معدل النجاح هذا موسيماني على تبديد المعتقدات الراسخة بأن مكانة المدربين الأفارقة لا تزال منخفضة ولا يحصلون على نفس الاحترام من اللاعبين كمدرب أجنبي.

وأشار موسيماني: “ما فعله كيشي بفوزه على مدربين أجانب في طريقه إلى النجاح القاري هو كسر فكرة مدرب إفريقي”.

واستطرد: “لقد أرسى أيضًا الأساس للآخرين ليتبعوه، وأعتقد أن إنجازه في دور الـ 16 قد حدد أيضًا النغمة على مستوى العالم”.

وأفاد موسيماني: “آخر فائزين بكأس الأمم هما الأفارقة [جمال بلماضي من الجزائر وسيسي السنغال] مما يدل على أن معظم المدربين الأفارقة مؤهلين مثل نظرائهم الأجانب”.

وأكمل: “إنه لأمر مثير للسخرية أن يستمر الناس في التمسك بالاعتقاد بأن الأجانب فقط هم الأفضل للفرق الإفريقية، وقد لعب هؤلاء المدربون أيضًا مع فرق كبرى في أوروبا وأماكن أخرى، فهم يتعرضون للأفكار الحديثة ويستحقون احترام لاعبينا ومشجعينا، وسائل الإعلام وغيرهم من المتشككين”.

وقاد موسيماني (58 عاما) الأهلي إلى انتصارات متتالية في دوري أبطال أوروبا بعد انضمامه في 2020، بالإضافة إلى نجاحه السابق في المنافسة مع ماميلودي صن داونز في 2016.

كما حصل مدرب جنوب إفريقيا السابق على مركزين متتاليين في المركز الثالث في كأس العالم للأندية، بما في ذلك نسخة 2021 التي أجريت في فبراير.

من بين المنتخبات الخمسة التي مثلت إفريقيا في نهائيات كأس العالم 2018، كان لدى السنغال وتونس فقط مدربين محليين، سيسي ونبيل معلول.

في حين لم يتخطِ أي فريق إفريقي دور المجموعات في روسيا، يعتقد موسيماني أن فرق القارة غالباً ما تعاني من سوء الاستعداد والتشتيت الذي يمكن تجنبه.

وعلّق: “يحتاج المدرب إلى التركيز على الجانب التكتيكي والفني للعبة ويجب ألا يكون مثقلًا بمسائل النقل والفنادق والمكافآت”.

وأردف موسيماني: “في كأس العالم ، يجب على الاتحادات الوطنية بذل المزيد من الجهد لإعداد فرقنا بشكل صحيح ومساعدتها على تجنب الانحرافات والإحراج العالمي”.

وأتم: “تعيين الدول الإفريقية أحيانًا مدربين قبل أشهر قليلة من كأس العالم ونتوقع منهم أن يقدموا المعجزات، الفرق التي نتنافس ضدها تستعد جيدًا وتستثمر بكثافة ولا تشتت انتباهها أشياء صغيرة مثل المكافآت وهذه هي العقلية اللازمة للمنافسة”.

ستخوض غانا وتونس اختبارا قويا في فترة التوقف الدولي عندما يواجه كلاهما البرازيل، بينما يواجه المغرب منافسة من أمريكا الجنوبية في تشيلي وباراجواي.

تسافر الكاميرون إلى كوريا الجنوبية بينما ستلعب السنغال أيضًا في تصفيات كأس العالم في إيران.

يوم 20 نوفمبر، عندما تبدأ البطولة، ستتجه الأنظار إلى خماسي مدربي إفريقيا الذين ينتظرون لمعرفة ما إذا كان بإمكان المرء أن يصنع التاريخ للقارة ويصل إلى نصف النهائي.

Levir Culpi 'isola' elenco do Santos e pede: 'Vamos jogar por nós'

MatériaMais Notícias

Nos dois dias que antecederam o clássico contra o São Paulo, os jogadores do Santos não deram entrevistas no CT Rei Pelé por decisão do departamento de futebol, que queria priorizar a concentração. Depois da derrota por 2 a 1 no Pacaembu, o elenco manteve o posicionamento e se manteve em silêncio no estádio. Na entrevista de Levir Culpi veio a explicação: proteção ao grupo.

Segundo o treinador, entrevistas à beira do gramado podem ser agressivas.

-Os jogadores não querem falar à beira do gramado. Estou com eles. O que se ouve é ofensa à beira do gramado. É agressivo. Após o jogo temos pessoas determinadas para dar entrevista.

O técnico ainda disse que apesar da derrota, o São Paulo não dominou a partida e foi mais eficiente na finalização. No entanto, admitiu que pediu que os atletas não dessem ouvidos a críticas.

-A gente falha, mas o time joga regularmente bem. A disparidade técnica não houve, foi um jogo igual. Os resultados que pesam. Minha preocupação com eles foi jogar e não julgar as pessoas que querem matar a gente. Vamos jogar por nós – pontua.

Depois de admitir que o ambiente do grupo sente algumas críticas, Levir colocou panos quentes em uma discussão no vestiário. No gramado, David Braz, Bruno Henrique e Serginho discutiram.

-Jogador precisa de repouso também. Se não quiserem repouso, podem colocar uma comissão técnica que não dê repouso. É muito ruim viver com fofoca. Infelizmente não temos controle sobre isso. Claro que isso atrapalha. Imagina lá na tua família todo mundo discutindo e fazendo fofoca. É legal? – respondeu a um jornalista.

Many Glasgow Rangers fans have been buzzing over some news which has emerged regarding their Academy team.

As per the club’s official website, the under-19s are now through to the next round of the UEFA Youth League after beating Septemvri Sofia 3-0 at home in the second leg of their tie, completing a 7-2 victory on aggregate.

Alex Lowry, Tony Weston and Cole McKinnon all got themselves on the scoresheet on a triumphant night for the young Gers, who will discover their next opponents when the play-off draw takes place on 14 December.

These are exciting times for the Academy and some of the players certainly seem to have a bright future ahead of them, as Giovanni van Bronckhorst might now look to see who he can promote to the first team.
