FIFA RELEASE THE DATE WHEN ANOTHER SEASON WILL START

FIFA has declared the date fwhen transfer market and league  will start after which the current league close. 

The Premier League have confirmed that the next transfer window will open on July 27, the day after the final game of the season.

Following a three-month suspension to English football in the coronavirus pandemic, dates have been pushed back to allow clubs to finish the current campaign and then prepare for the next.

Next season is expected to begin on the weekend of September 12/13, but unlike the established norm, the transfer window will not close before kickoff.

Instead, the new deadline day is October 5, allowing clubs to sign players for almost a month after the first game of 2020/21.

There will also be an extended ‘domestic window’ which will allow Premier League clubs to sell or loan players to sides from the Championship down until 5pm on October 16.

These dates remain “subject to the approval of FIFA” but there is unlikely to be opposition in that respect.

Shock: Pogba Agent Slam Man United

Man Utd would ruin even Maradona & Pele!' - Raiola slams Red Devils & says he won't send players there

Paul Pogba's agent has launched an attack on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side for how they've treated the Frenchman since his return to Old Trafford

Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has attacked Manchester United and insisted he won't send players to sign for the club in its current state.

Furthermore, the Italian-born Raiola thinks that the World Cup winner needs a club with a clear "sporting project", highlighting Pogba's former club Juventus.

The United midfielder arrived back in Manchester for a second spell with the Red Devils in 2016, completing an £89 million ($118m) switch from Juve.

Much was expected of Pogba after he helped the Bianconeri win four successive Serie A titles in Italy, but he has proven a divisive figure among pundits and supporters since returning to the Premier League.

The 26-year-old has struggled to produce his best form on a consistent basis, amid concerns over his attitude and fitness levels.

Pogba has racked up 143 appearances for United across all competitions and played a key role in the team's run to a Carabao Cup and Europa League double during his first season back at Old Trafford.

However, the France international has ultimately been unable to inspire a turnaround in fortunes for a Red Devils side still struggling to re-establish their place among English football's elite.

Pogba has been heavily linked with a move away from Manchester in 2020, with Real Madrid tipped to launch a bid for his services and Juventus reportedly keen on bringing the player back to the Allianz Stadium.

Raiola has not been impressed with United's treatment of Pogba and says he wouldn't encourage any of his clients to secure a move to Old Trafford.

"He argued with [Sir Alex] Ferguson. Paul was the only one to say no to him, he never stomached it and took it out on me. But now Pogba’s problem is Manchester: it is a club out of touch with reality, without a sporting project," Raiola told La Repubblica when asked if Pogba was arrogant when he said he could become better than Pele.

"Today I wouldn’t bring anyone else there, they would ruin even [Diego] Maradona, Pele and [Paolo] Maldini. Paul needs a team and a society, one like at Juve before."

.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stated that he expects Pogba to be available for a trip to Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal on New Year's Day, but he was not seen travelling with the rest of the squad on Tuesday afternoon.

Pogba returned to action after two months on the sidelines with an ankle injury on December 22, coming on as a substitute in United's shock defeat to Watford.

The Frenchman also made a second-half appearance in a 4-1 victory over Newcastle on Boxing Day, but was left out of the squad for the Red Devils' 2-0 win against Burnley two days later.

Raiola has already stated that Pogba won't be leaving Old Trafford in January but has suggested that he needs to be competing for league titles and be playing in the Champions League next season

Dream Team celebrate Xmas with another Trophy

What a great season Dream team united football academy had after winning the David's Cup organized at mile 2 estate, Amuwo Odofin. 

"The best team won the match and we couldn't discriminate the fact that they are the best team of the tournament, I was really impressed by game, I will be glad to see team like this in final next year" said by Mr David the executive organizer of the game.

Dream Team united celebrated the win

 The first and second half was 30minites each where Lateef(giuly) scored a superb free kick from half of the field , it was a boom shot after a free kick was added around 17minutes of the game played. The ball landed in the keepers box about 0.5m to the goal post, it was surprising that the ball flew up, the goal keeper tried as much as possible to denied it but the ball was too fast like the speed of light.

BEST PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT

SHUAIB (DREAM TEAM)

 The first half ended 1-0 in favour of the Dream team. It was about 10minutes to the final whistle when a counter attack was arranged by the Dream team players after alots number of touches in the middle field and the ball was flip to Yaya ibrahim (Dream team left wing attacker), Mile 2 All star keeper ran out of the box to denied the goal but Yaya was too good (did I said , he was too good. Yes he is) 

that jab the ball before the keeper get closw to him and it was a goal. Now Dream team lead by 2-0. And that's how the dream won the match, there were some attempts by the All star too but the pressure was too much that they couldn't convert their chances.

Chelsea 4 Arsenal 1: Hazard strikes twice as Sarri celebrates

Chelsea denied Arsenal a route into the Champions League with a convincing Europa League final victory over their Premier League rivals.

Eden Hazard's brace helped Maurizio Sarri claim his first major trophy as Chelsea crushed Arsenal 4-1 in the Europa League final in Baku on Wednesday.

In perhaps his final appearance before a mooted move to Real Madrid, star man Hazard struck two second half goals to confirm Chelsea's second triumph in six seasons in this competition.

Olivier Giroud sparked the landslide against his former employers in the 49th minute before Pedro put a second past retiring Gunners goalkeeper Petr Cech.

Messi Couldn't Make The First XI European Squad

Lionel Messi recently won the European Golden Shoe after scoring 36 La Liga goals in 38 games, but couldn’t make it into the best XI from Europe’s top 5 leagues ahead of arch rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

Lionel Messi has enjoyed a stellar season with Barcelona, scoring a whooping 51 goals and assisting 22 more in just 50 appearances, with 36 goals and 15 assists coming in 34 La Liga games as the club cantered to their second successive League title.

However, despite those ridiculous numbers and having accrued a rating of 8.4 on the site, Lionel Messi missed out on making the best XI in Europe’s top 5 leagues on WhoScored’s site.

Nicolas Pepe from Lille and Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus instead made the cut, in the positions Lionel Messi was likely to feature in.

Ronaldo picked up the Best Player award in Serie A for his hand in guiding Juventus to their eight straight Scudetto, but only managed 21 goals and 11 assists in 31 league appearances.

Nicolas Pepe, on the other hand, has engendered the interest of many top European clubs after a breakout season for Lille, but also only managed 22 goals and 11 assists in 38 games.

Also, Lionel Messi’s seasonal rating of 8.4 on WhoScored is by far the highest among all the players included in the XI, making his omission all the more ridicuous.

Messi React to Antoine Griezmann Signing

Lionel Messi spoke prior to the Copa del Rey final and was asked about Antoine Griezmann joining Barcelona.
Lionel Messi rarely speaks in pregame press conferences. But when he speaks, his words carry weight. Such was the case this time when the Argentine was asked about Antoine Griezmann potentially signing for the Catalan side.

According to Sport, when asked about Griezmann, Messi responded, “We will not give our opinion.”

La reacción de Messi cuando le han preguntado por Griezmann pic.twitter.com/P4cAV7D8fd #fcblive

With that simple sentence, Messi all but put an end to that speculation. The degree of his influence at Barcelona is often overstated by many but this appears to be an occasion where his opinion, or lack thereof, says all anyone needs to know about the Frenchman arriving at Barcelona.

Messi’s refusal to give his opinion gives credence to reports that the Barcelona locker room vetoed the arrival of Griezmann and that he is not well-liked given what happened last summer when they all thought he was joining them. We all know he released a documentary to express that he was staying at Atletico Madrid.

The Argentine’s comments were also a complete 180 of what he and his teammates were saying amidst these same rumors last season. Diario Sport even wrote an article of what was said at that time.

On that occasion, Messi said, “I don’t know if signing him is a priority or not but I am in agreement that to win the Champions League, as we all desire, to win it again we need the best players. Griezmann is one of them and if the club bring him in, great.”

Luis Suarez added, “A player of his quality is always welcome. He’s not coming to take anyone’s place, but with the ambition to win big things.”

Compare what Messi said then to what he said now and it tells someone all they need to know about how Griezmann may be perceived now. It is not very welcoming. It may also be a reason as to why they all still seem to back Philippe Coutinho.

As opposed to Griezmann, Coutinho made no secret that he wanted to play at Barcelona and did all he could to force a move. Despite his struggles, that he was adamant about wanting to join Barcelona and forcing a move, shows the likes of Messi and Suarez his commitment and that he did not tease or relent on his desire for a move.

His comments also come after a supposed meeting between Messi and Barcelona president, Josep Maria Bartomeu. One has to assumed that besides discussing about their goals for next season, potential signings must have come up with Bartomeu wanting to know Messi’s opinion on Griezmann.

Sergio Ramos leaving Real Madrid

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has revealed heartbreaking information to the club after a terrible season that led to the sacking of Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solare and brought back Zinedine Zidane, eight months after his resignation.

Reports coming out of Spain is that Sergio Ramos is considering leaving Real Madrid with offers from the Chinese Super League, Italian Serie A champions Juventus, Manchester United and Liverpool.

The relationship between the defender and Madrid president Florentino Pérez has broken down completely since a huge row after the defeat to Ajax. Sergio Ramos is considering leaving Real Madrid given his current situation at the club, which has been wearing him down, as reported on Spanish TV programme El Chiringuito.

The main problem is a direct conflict between club captain Ramos and Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez. The two had a huge row in the dressing room after the Champions League defeat to Ajax at the Bernabéu which saw Real Madrid eliminated from the tournament they had won in the three previous seasons.

Ramos didn’t play that night as he was suspended, but when Pérez went down to the dressing room to recriminate with the players over their attitude in the game, the 33-year old defender came out in defence of his fellow team-mates, to which Pérez accused him of taking too many days off.

Ramos’ response: “I’ve given everything, I’ve sweated blood and tears for this badge and for you, but if you want to kick me out, you can pay me up and I’ll go”.

The Real Madrid players believed that the situation would calm down over time, but the relationship between Ramos and Pérez has completely broken down and they barely speak to each other.

Ramos is hurt over critical messages about him coming from within the club, including an insinuation that he took too long to recover from a calf injury, that he failed to help his team-mates enough during the end of the league and that he was thinking far too much about his wedding on 15 June.

All of which has led to the player seriously thinking about his future, which he now feels may be away from Real Madrid. Ramos still has two years left on his Real Madrid contract, which finishes in 2021.

He earns 12.5 million euros net a year, and his buy-out clause is an eye-watering 800 million euros. The player’s inner circle are adamant that Ramos has no issue over money and would not be leaving to try and boost his salary – the problem is entirely about respect, however, given the current market situation the first offers to take him away from Real Madrid have already reached his representatives.

According to this newspaper’s sources, Manchester United (who were keen on the defender before his last contract renewal in 2015) and Liverpool (Klopp would line him up alongside Van Dijk in the best central defence pairing in the world) have both been in touch with Ramos’ representatives.

There has also been a huge offer for him from China, and Juventus too have shown an interest. In fact, the Italian club are the keenest to make a major effort for the player, given that Cristiano Ronaldo has directly asked the Agnelli family to do what they can to sign Ramos.

It should not be forgotten that Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos won four Champions Leagues in five years. Right now, Ramos is enjoying a mini-break before joining up with the Spain squad ahead of the games against the Faroe Islands and Sweden, despite suffering from a calf injury since 12 April. Since then he hasn’t played for Real Madrid, but Spain are still counting on him.

7 World Talented Players To Watch For In The Ongoing U20World Cup

The FIFA U-20 World Cup is one of the most exciting tournaments to watch especially because a lot of relatively unknown talents would be on display. The competition was the stage that announced stars like Paul Pogba, Lionel Messi, Mikel Obi, Sergio Aguero, and Milinkovic-Savic. Here are 7 talents to watch out for in the 2019 edition hosted by Poland.

1. Diogo Dalot, Portugal

Diogo Dalot is a ‘modern’ full-back who plays as a full-back and occasionally as a winger for English club Manchester United. The defender was born in Braga, Portugal and joined Porto youth team. Dalot first appeared with the first team in competitive games on 13 October 2017, starting in a 6–0 away win over Lusitano G.C. for the season’s Taça de Portugal.

He first played in the Primeira Liga in February 2018, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute in a 5–0 home routing of Rio Ave FC. He was particularly impressive in a UEFA Champions League game against Liverpool and attracted interest from the top clubs on the continent. Dalot signed for Premier League club Manchester United on 6 June 2018 on a five-year contract for a fee of £19 million.

Dalot helped Manchester United secure an important victory against PSG in the Champions League and he blossomed under the management of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Dalot helped Portugal win the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, scoring twice in five games in Azerbaijan including once in the final against Spain.

He heads into this competition full of confidence and would definitely be one of the most experienced players on the Portugal squad. After representing the country at the U-17 European Championship, he helped the under-19 team reach the quarter-finals of the same competition. This would be his second U-20 World Cup as he was represented the nation at the 2017 edition, starting in all the matches in an eventual quarter-final exit.

2. William Saliba, France

Saliba is a talented defender for Ligue 1 club Saint-Étienne. He began playing football at the tender age of six and was coached by Kylian Mbappe’s father. The teenager signed for St-Etienne in 2016 and made his debut for the first team at the age of 17. Like Mbappe, he is of Cameroonian descent and he is one of the most impressive talents to watch out for at the U-20 World Cup.

3. Yacine Adli, France

He is perhaps the most exciting prospect to watch at the U-20 World Cup. The highly rated attacking midfielder is of Algerian descent and he made his debut in the French Ligue 1 with PSG in 2018. On the last day of the 2018–19 winter transfer window, Adli joined league rivals FC Girondins de Bordeaux on a 4½-year contract.

The transfer reportedly involved a fee of €5.5 million and a 40% sell-on clause. He has represented France U17s at the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

4. Kingsley Micheal, Nigeria

The highly rated midfielder burst into limelight after his performances for the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria in 2015. He joined Italian club Bologna In 2017 and was assigned to their Under-19 team. At the end of the 2017–18 Serie A season he made some bench appearances for Bologna’s senior squad, but did not see any time on the field. This prompted his loan move to Peruggia.

Kingsley represented Nigeria national under-17 football team at the 2015 African U-17 Championship where Nigeria finished 4th. He was part of the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup winning team with the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria. Michael scored a goal in the 3–0 quarterfinal victory over Brazil, but did not appear in the semifinal or final.

5. Diego Lainez, Mexico

The exciting winger plays for Real Betis in the Spanish La Liga, Lainez began his career at Club America becoming one of the club’s youngest players to debut for the first team at 16 years old. Lainez scored in both legs of the Apertura semifinal series against Universidad Nacional, making him the youngest player to ever score during the playoff stage for the club.

Lainez joined La Liga club Real Betis on a five-year contract reportedly worth $14 million making him the youngest player to emigrate from the Mexican Liga MX as well as the second most expensive transfer paid for a Mexican player by a European club. He has represented Mexico at the U-17, U-20, and the U-21 levels. He received his first call-up to the senior national team by interim manager, Ricardo Ferretti, for the friendly matches against Uruguay and the United States and earned his first cap against Uruguay.

6. Gedson Fernandes, Portugal

The talented midfielder Fernandes started his career at SC Frielas in Portugal before he joined S.L. Benfica’s youth system, where he progressed to the club’s reserve team in 2017. He made his first team debut for the club in a UEFA Champions League qualifier against Fernabache.

He would be heading to Poland full of confidence after he secured the 2018/19 Portugal Primera Liga with Benfica . He has already won titles with Portugal after being part of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship winning team. He was so good at that tournament that he was voted into the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship Team of the Tournament.

7. Ikouwem Utin Udo, Nigeria

The highly rated full back began his career in Nigeria with Alaska Football Academy before moving to Enyimba at the age of 16. He made his senior debut in 2017. In February 2018 he won the NFF Young Player of the Year award and signed for Israeli club Maccabi Haifa in 2009. He made his international debut for Nigeria in 2018.

Messi Unleashed Another Record

Five times Ballon D’or winner, Lionel Messi, has become the first player in history to win the European golden shoe a record of 6 times after picking up the award last season ahead of Paris Saint Germaine sensation, Kylian Mbappe.

The 31-year-old Argentine scored an amazing 36 goals in just 34 appearance to wrap up the much coveted individual award.

European Golden shoe is given to the highest goal scorer across the five major leagues namely, English Premiership, Spanish LaLiga Satander, Italian Serie A , German Bundesliga , and French Ligue 1.

Lionel Messi’s exploit was not enough to prevent the Spanish champions from being knocked out at the Semi-final stage of the last edition of the UEFA Champions league.
