Sean Dyche could transform Crystal Palace

One minute everyone is talking about who should replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and now it’s Roy Hodgson’s turn under the microscope.

What’s the word?

Hodgson, who is the oldest man to ever manage in the Premier League, has recently admitted he is “undecided” over his Crystal Palace future.

The former England manager is currently into his fourth season in charge at Crystal Palace since he was appointed in September 2017.

But the 73-year-old’s contract at Selhurst Park is due to expire this summer which has cast doubts about his long-term future at the club.

So with that in mind, it’s about time Steve Parish started searching for a potential replacement, and he may not have to look very far at all, with reports from The Athletic last summer claiming that Burnley manager Sean Dyche is someone who is admired by those at Palace.

Dyche is Hodgson’s heir-in-waiting

Some Palace fans have been crying out for the 49-year-old to replace Hodgson reports initially surfaced for the first time linking him to Selhurst Park last year.

Former Grimsby Town manager Michael Jolley, who learned the tricks of the trade under Dyche at Turf Moor, recently described his former boss as an “extremely intelligent” manager in an interview with Coaches Voice.

If Parish can persuade him to jump ship to Selhurst Park, he could almost completely transform the club’s fortunes. It goes without saying that he has performed something close to a miracle with the Clarets, often overachieving with very little in terms of resources, but he has also developed a system that has proven to be very hard for other teams to break down.

By the numbers, Burnley have conceded just 28 goals this season, the same amount as fifth-placed West Ham, which is nearly ten fewer than Hodgson’s side themselves (37). Think Liverpool, Arsenal and Wolves – these are just some of the scalps the Clarets have claimed in this campaign alone.

Setting his side up in his preferred 4-4-2 formation, Dyche’s side are prepared to put the hard graft in to frustrate and deny opponents, as they remain compact, sit back comfortably and defend in numbers. Hardly revolutionary, but doubly effective.

But that doesn’t quite paint the full picture. In terms of statistics, they aren’t necessarily a possession-based side, but have shown signs they have started to adapt to the ever-changing Premier League by controlling the ball and building up play from the back.

For instance, defensive midfielder Ashley Westwood averages 52.6 passes per 90. By comparison, that’s more than the likes of Jairo Riedewald and Patrick van Aanholt, the latter of which tops the Palace charts with 49.9 passes respectively.

However, Dyche does look well settled at Burnley, with the new board clearly keen to give him their full backing. But Dyche is arguably one of the most underrated managers in the game and if Parish can bring him to Palace, he could improve the team’s defensive frailities.

It’s exactly why the Eagles should revive last summer’s interest in the Burnley boss and seriously consider him as Hodgson’s heir.

Palace Predicted XI vs Newcastle

Gary Cahill and Tyrick Mitchell could return to the starting line-up later this afternoon as Crystal Palace take on Newcastle at St James’ Park.

While most of the attention of the general footballing public will likely be on Old Trafford on Tuesday as Southampton travel to Manchester United, Palace could create some space between themselves and the chasing pack at the bottom of the table, depending on the result on Tyneside.

However, in order to do that, they will have to pick up all three points against a team who have caused Roy Hodgson’s side problems in the past. Palace suffered a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle at Selhurst Park back in November.

With that in mind, here’s Football FanCast’s predicted line-up for today’s trip to Newcastle.

The Eagles have started the new year with a renewed sense of optimism after bringing in a new striker in the form of Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Nevertheless, the Palace boss will probably play it safe as it’s unlikely he is taking anything for granted, meaning Michy Batshuayi will be back upfront after his solid shift against Wolves and he will play alongside the in-form Wilfried Zaha.

To the left of the Belgian in attack will be Eberechi Eze, who scored the only goal of the game against Wolves, while Andros Townsend will most likely replace Jordan Ayew on the right flank.

In defence, Tyrick Mitchell could come in for Patrick van Aanholt, the latter being heavily linked with the Selhurst Park exit on deadline day, with Gary Cahill back as one of two centre-back options with Cheikhou Kouyate.

Elsewhere, Vicente Guaita is a mainstay in Hodgson’s side, which leaves Jack Butland still waiting for his Premier League debut for the club.

Meanwhile, Jairo Riedewald will be the only other change in midfield, with James McCarthy dropping to the bench as a result.

Rodriguinho não liga para gol no fim, mas atenta para erros de finalização

MatériaMais Notícias

Rodriguinho foi o último protagonista de uma história que o corintiano conhece bem o enredo: gols marcados no fim das partidas estão definindo os placares que mantêm a equipe invicta em 2016 até o momento. Foi assim contra XV de Piracicaba (vitória), Cobresal (vitória), Ferroviária (empate), São Bento (empate) e Oeste (vitória). De 11 gols oficiais anotados na temporada, seis foram nos 15 minutos finais, mas este fato não é motivo de preocupação para os comandados de Tite. Nesta segunda-feira, Rodriguinho explicou que o importante é conquistar os resultados, independentemente do momento do jogo em que a rede for balançada.

– Engraçado, a gente está invicto e todo mundo vê que a gente só ganha no final, mas para mim a equipe está jogando bem. Não importa o tempo, e sim conseguir os resultados. O Tite fala para manter concentração alta o tempo todo, porque a chance pode aparecer. Então precisamos acertar mais a finalização para podermos ser menos dependentes dos gols no fim. Mas gol para vencer e para somar ponto não importa o tempo – disse o meio-campista, antes de explicar sua visão sobre a necessidade de “acertar mais a finalização”.

– Se conseguirmos placares mais elásticos e conseguirmos marcar em 50% do que cria vamos ter bons resultados e isso vai dar uma melhorada grande. Melhorar isso (finalizações) assim é difícil,porque não tem muito tempo para treinar. Temos treino hoje (segunda-feira) e amanhã (terça, às 16h, no CT Joaquim Grava), mas fomos bem contra o Oeste, criamos espaço e só pecamos na finalização. Se fizermos o gol cedo, a equipe adversária acaba saindo e criando mais espaços. Temos de caprichar mais nas finalizações para o jogo se tornar mais fácil- argumentou o titular do meio de campo alvinegro ao lado de Bruno Henrique, Guilherme, Giovanni Augusto e Lucca.

Nos dois últimos jogos, os números do Corinthians no quesito finalização são alarmantes: contra o São Bento, foram 16 chutes e apenas dois em direção ao gol. Já diante do Oeste foram 17 finalizações e só quatro deram algum trabalho ao goleiro adversário. Na soma, seis chutes certos em 33 realizados.

Para tentar se livrar do “fantasma” dos gols no fim e buscar um placar mais tranquilo, o Corinthians entra em campo nesta quarta-feira, às 21h45, pela segunda rodada da Copa Libertadores. Com Rodriguinho entre os titulares, o Timão encara o Independiente Santa Fé, da Colômbia.

خالد الغندور: لاعب منتخب مصر كسول.. وبن شرقي أخبر زملاءه بأنه لن يجدد للزمالك

أعرب خالد الغندور قائد الزمالك الأسبق ومقدم البرامج الرياضية الحالي، عن اندهاشه من الإشادة بحسين فيصل بعد تألقه خلال المباريات الماضية رفقة منتخب مصر الأول، كما انتقد اللاعب المغربي أشرف بن شرقي.

وقال الغندور في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “أون تايم سبورتس”: “لماذا تشيد الجماهير بحسين فيصل؟ بعد التألق في مباراتين فقط ببطولة كأس العرب! لماذا لم يشارك مع طنطا عندما انضم للفريق”.

وأضاف: “باتريس كارتيرون أكد لي أن حسين فيصل كان كسولًا في التدريبات ولا يتدرب بشكل جيد لأنه يشعر بأنه لن يشارك، اللاعب الجيد الأهم بالنسبة له الاستمرارية وليس التألق في مباراة أو اثنين”.

وأردف: “الجماهير ستغضب مني إذا تحدثت عن أشرف بن شرقي، ولكن الزمالك بالنسبة لي صاحب الأهمية الأكبر”.

وواصل: “بن شرقي سافر إلى دبي بدلًا من العودة إلى الزمالك، كل لاعبي المغرب بعد توديع البطولة عادوا إلى أنديتهم، أريد أن أقول أن احتراف بن شرقي في الزمالك مهنة يتقاضى عليها أجرا ويجب أن يلتزم”.

وتابع: “اللاعب كان لديه عرضين من الإمارات، وحتى الآن لم يجدد مع الزمالك، وقال لزملائه في منتخب المغرب أنه لن يجدد”.

واستكمل: “عندما انضم بن شرقي للزمالك كان قد مر بتجربة فاشلة مع الهلال السعودي وفشل مع الفريق الفرنسي، ثم جاء إلى الزمالك الذي صنع له اسمًا كبيرًا جدًا”.

واختتم: “بدأ اللاعب يُماطل في تجديده، حاليا اللاعب يضع شروطًا من أجل التجديد رغم أن طموحه أصبح قليلا، وعلى الجانب الآخر هناك لاعبين تألقوا في بطولة كأس العرب ويتمنوا أن يلعبوا للزمالك، أرى أن يتم عرض عليه رقم معين وإن لم يوافق نبحث عن بديل مشتاق للعب كرة القدم”.

Rodinei não teme maratona de jogos do Fla: 'Tranquilo! Sou garoto novo'

MatériaMais Notícias

O bem-humorado lateral-direito Rodinei não está tão preocupado assim com a maratona que o Flamengo terá nas próximas semanas, com jogos pelo Campeonato Carioca, Copa do Brasil e Primeira Liga. Perguntado sobre a possibilidade de o técnico Muricy Ramalho poupar algum jogador em determinado momento, o camisa 2 se mostrou tranquilo para estar em campo.

– Estou tranquilo. Sou garoto novo, tenho 24 anos, e para mim não pega tanto. Mas vamos ver o que ele (Muricy) vai passar para a gente durante a semana. De qualquer forma vamos caprichar nessa maratona que vem aí – disse o lateral.

Até agora, Rodinei já disputou nove dos 11 jogos oficiais do Flamengo na temporada. E nesta sexta-feira o técnico Muricy Ramalho deve dar indícios se ele estará em campo contra o Madureira, sábado, em Volta Redonda, pela estreia na Taça Guanabara. A tendência é que o Rubro-Negro vá com o que tiver de melhor. Rodinei já marcou um gol, na goleada contra a Portuguesa-RJ.

COLETIVO DE RESERVAS CONTRA JUNIORES
Como de costume no dia seguinte aos jogos, os titulares não foram ao campo e fizeram apenas um trabalho regenerativo no Centro de Excelência em Performance (CEP-FLA), no Ninho do Urubu. No gramado, os reservas disputaram um coletivo contra os juniores. A formação foi Alex Muralha; Pará, César Martins, Antonio Carlos e Chiquinho; Márcio Araújo; Canteros, Jajá, Lucas Paquetá e Gabriel; Felipe Vizeu. Os reservas venceram com gol de Paquetá.

Everton eye Freiburg defender Schlotterbeck

Carlo Ancelotti should urge Everton to sign Keven Schlotterbeck amid claims Goodison Park is a potential destination for the SC Freiburg defender.

What’s the word?

According to Bild journalist Christian Falk, the Toffees have become aware of Schlotterbeck following a strong run in Christian Streich’s backline at the Schwarzwald-Stadion this season.

The 23-year-old centre-back is expected to be an inexpensive option in the summer market, and is considered as the next Bundesliga star to earn Premier League interest after Leeds signed Robin Koch for £13m last year.

Schlotterbeck returned to Freiburg after spending the 2019/20 season on loan with 1. FC Union Berlin to replace Koch at the Schwarzwald-Stadion, and has since started 13 of his 14 Bundesliga appearances after being inserted into Streich’s plans in November.

Freiburg had won just one of their initial eight German top-flight fixtures before Schlotterbeck made his first start of the term, but have since won seven of the following 12 while keeping three clean sheets to move up to eighth in the table.

Oliver Ruhnert, Union Berlin’s Director of Football, vastly rated Schlotterbeck’s talents for the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei side, noting: “Schlotterbeck is an excellent fit for our central-defender profile.

“He is young, highly talented and has already proven his skills at the highest level in the Bundesliga.”

Should Everton sign Schlotterbeck?

If Schlotterbeck is available for a similar fee to what Leeds paid Freiburg for Koch last summer, Ancelotti should absolutely urge Farhad Moshiri to fund a pursuit by Everton.

Schlotterbeck’s presence in Streich’s backline inspired a seismic change of fortunes for Breisgau-Brasilianer earlier this season, and has helped to inspire Bundesliga victories over TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and Borussia Dortmund plus draws with Borussia Monchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Ancelotti could form an imperious wall in front of the Everton goal if the Italian were to sign Schlotterbeck, as his efforts in Germany have often been at a higher level than what the Toffees have seen in the Premier League from Yerry Mina and Michael Keane in an array of aspects.

Freiburg fans have seen Schlotterbeck offer Streich 1.4 successful tackles a game in the Bundesliga this term, compared to the one Blues fans see from Mina and 0.8 from Keane in the English top-flight thus far, per SofaScore.

Schlotterbeck also offers more interceptions (2) than all Everton defenders (Ben Godfrey, 1.6, offers the most), clearances (5.2, Mina offers a team-high 4.7) and significantly more ground duels won (3.2) than Mina (1.7) or Keane (0.9).

Though Schlotterbeck lacks in the air with 1.9 contests won per game to Mina (3.3) – only Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 4.5 is higher at Goodison Park.

But Ancelotti can make up for Schlotterbeck’s shortfalls in the air by playing the 6 ft 2 centre-half beside Mina, in what could prove to be an ideal defensive partnership.

ليفاندوفسكي يعادل رقم رونالدو ويحقق إنجازًا تاريخيًا في الدوري الألماني

حقق نجم فريق بايرن ميونخ روبرت ليفاندوفسكي رقمين قياسيين بعد تسجيله هدفا في مباراة اليوم ضد فريق فولفسبورج، في الدوري الألماني.

وتلاقى الفريقان في إطار منافسات الجولة السابعة عشر من الدوري الألماني على ملعب الأليانز آرينا، حيث فاز بايرن ميونخ بأربعة أهداف دون رد. أهداف مباراة بايرن ميونخ وفولفسبورج

وتمكن البولندي روبرت ليفاندوفسكي من تسجيل الهدف الرابع لصالح أصحاب الأرض في الدقيقة 87.

وذكرت شبكة “أوبتا” العالمية أن ليفاندوفسكي أصبح بذلك أكثر لاعبي الدوري الألماني تسجيلًا للأهداف في تاريخ البطولة، خلال سنة ميلادية واحدة بـ43 هدفًا في عام 2021.

وأوضحت أن ليفاندوفسكي كسر بذلك الرقم القياسي السابق لـ جيرد مولر، الذي سجل 42 هدفًا في عام 1972.

ليس هذا فقط، بل وصل عدد أهداف ليفاندوفسكي في العام الحالي في مختلف المسابقات إلى 69 هدفًا.

وعادل ليفاندوفسكي بذلك الرقم ما حققه النجم البرتغالي كريستيانو رونالدو في عام 2013.

Opinião: 'Clássico Vovô evidencia que Levir terá trabalho neste início'

MatériaMais Notícias

É quase um consenso entre os jogadores e comissão técnica tricolor: a equipe esteve muito abaixo e sofreu no clássico do último domingo. Falta maior entrosamento, comunicação entre os setores… Levir Culpi sabe que terá muito trabalho neste início no Fluminense até conseguir ter, de fato, um conjunto.

Primeiramente, a produção ofensiva precisa melhorar. Diego Souza quase não participou do clássico, mesmo sendo referência da equipe. Marcos Júnior e Osvaldo até apareceram pro jogo, mas sem a intensidade necessária. Gustavo Scarpa esteve abaixo do que pode render. Na defesa, Marlon teve uma das melhores exibições da temporada. Renato Chaves foi mal e mereceu a substituição por Gum, que ganhou pontos pelo poder de decisão no clássico.

O meio segue espaçado, e os volantes também são culpados por isso. Cícero não rende o que se espera na posição e Edson, pelo menos, volta a dar maior pegada no setor. Contudo, não tem a qualidade necessária para melhorar a saída de jogo do time. O jovem Douglas – destaque na vitória contra o Criciúma, pela Primeira Liga – pede espaço entre os titulares. E merece a chance.

Como Levir disse na coletiva, a semana livre para trabalho será importante para o time ganhar um corpo. Até porque, não terá jogo fácil. Flamengo no domingo que vem e Internacional na outra semana, pela Primeira Liga. No primeiro ‘grande’ teste, ficou se evidenciado os problemas da equipe. Mas quando o time ganhar o dedo do técnico, a tendência é melhorar. A conferir.

Celtic: Who would benefit from potential Terry appointment?

As the 2,300+ replies to Celtic’s full-time tweet on Sunday evening will tell you, Neil Lennon, and the club as a whole, are in a spot of bother.

Their fiercest rivals now need just seven points to win the title and finally stop the Bhoys in their tracks. They have won the league nine seasons in a row but at long last, their strong grasp over Scottish football is being surrendered.

The Hoops have been shocking this season and it is surely only a matter of time before Lennon is shown the exit door. He has claimed that he won’t exit his post unless he is forced to but even that feels farfetched given the support that Dermot Desmond and Peter Lawwell have shown.

Though, if he does leave, who will walk through the door? Eddie Howe has been linked, while fellow Englishmen John Terry and Frank Lampard have both been talked up.

“You’re looking at both clubs and this is obviously Steven Gerrard’s third season there. If either of these guys, Terry or Lampard, come in, you’re looking at them hitting the ground running,” Kevin Campbell told Football Insider.

“You look at that Celtic squad and of course they can do it because they’ve won nine-in-a-row,” he continued.

The job at hand cannot be underestimated, however. As many as 12 players could depart this summer and if an exodus does occur, one of the players they have to build the squad around is young defender Stephen Welsh.

He’s only played 12 times for the Hoops but if a coach like Terry arrives, it could be game-changing for the central defender.

The 21-year-old has impressed during his minimal opportunities this term and based on what Terry has done for the defenders at Aston Villa, he could take Welsh to a brand new level.

Villa defender Tyrone Mings called the 40-year-old the “perfect mentor” for the work they’ve done together. You only need to look at the way Villa transformed a struggling defence under the stewardship of Terry during their promotion-winning campaign in 2018/19 to understand what he can bring to a team.

Mings isn’t the only one to hail Terry, however. The club’s marauding left-back Matt Targett told The Times last week that regular Zoom meetings with the former England international were game-changing during lockdown.

“We go through clips and say what I’ve done well, what I need to improve on. If my body shape’s wrong, John goes up to the screen and shows me the body shape I should be in.”

“He’s probably one of the best people to learn from,” Targett added.

On the opposite side of the pitch, Matty Cash has also reserved praise for Terry’s influence on the training pitch: “We do a lot of work with him as a unit and it shows.”

From fighting relegation last season, Villa are now firmly in the race for Europe. Together with Dean Smith, Terry has taken a bunch of young defenders under his wing and made them some of the most consistent players in the English top-flight.

His influence on a player like Welsh, therefore, is exciting to think about. He’s just 21 years of age and with his best years undoubtedly on the horizon, it could be a blossoming partnership.

All Desmond and Lawwell need to do now is to convince Terry to move to Glasgow. With their current form, that may be easier said than done.
