وجه المدير الفني لفريق مانشستر سيتي، بيب جوارديولا، اللوم للاعبيه فيما يخص النجم المصري عمر مرموش، بعد خسارة يوم الثلاثاء الماضي على يد باير ليفركوزن في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.
واستضاف ملعب “الاتحاد” مباراة مانشستر سيتي وباير ليفركوزن، في الجولة الخامسة من مرحلة الدوري من دوري أبطال أوروبا، مرحلة الدوري 2025/26.
وتعرض مانشستر سيتي لهزيمته الأولى في الموسم الحالي من دوري أبطال أوروبا حيث خسر أمام باير ليفركوزن بهدفين دون رد.

وشارك عمر مرموش في مباراة مانشستر سيتي وباير ليفركوزن أساسيًا، قبل استبداله بزميله إيرلينج هالاند في الدقيقة 65، بعدما فشل في إثبات نفسه.
ولكن جوارديولا حرص على الدفاع عن عمر مرموش، حيث قال في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “سيتي إكسترا” الإنجليزية: “لقد بدأ الموسم بشكل رائع ثم عاد بعد إصابته وعززنا استقرار الفريق”.
وأضاف: “أعتقد أن عمر مرموش قدم في المباراة الأخيرة ضد باير ليفركوزن ما يحتاجه الفريق، لقد أثبت جدارته وأظهر جودته، ولكن لم نجده (يقصد لم يقدم الفريق التمريرات اللازمة له)”.
وسُئل جوارديولا عن موعد انضمام عمر مرموش إلى منتخب مصر من أجل المشاركة في بطولة كأس أمم إفريقيا وما إذا كان على علم به، حيث رد: “لا، لا أعرف، علينا التحدث مع النادي واللاعب كذلك”.
While West Ham United have certainly signed some real talents over the last few years, they’ve unfortunately made more than their fair share of poor signings.
For example, the likes of Andy Irving, Mads Hermanssen, and Gianluca Scamacca are either failing to make the grade or have already failed, and that’s just from the last few summers.
Yet, perhaps the most disappointing addition the East Londoners have made in recent years is Niclas Füllkrug.
Fortunately, it looks like the German could be moving on sooner rather than later, although West Ham should make sure they get rid of another flop at the same time, someone former manager David Moyes was particularly excited about.
Füllkrug's West Ham disaster
When West Ham splashed £27m on Füllkrug last summer, there was a fair deal of excitement from some in the fanbase, as while he was certainly on the older side, he had just come off a stellar season for Borussia Dortmund in which he reached the Champions League final and chalked up 15 goals and provided ten assists in 43 appearances.
As if that wasn’t enough, he had also just spent the summer playing for Germany in the Euros.
Unfortunately, even those with the lowest of expectations for the veteran striker have since been disappointed with his efforts in East London.
In his first campaign with the club, injuries limited him to just 20 appearances, totalling 877 minutes, in which he scored just three goals and provided two assists.
This season has not been much better, as before his current injury, the 32-year-old had failed to score a single goal or provide a single assist in seven appearances, totalling 385 minutes.

So, with the former Dortmund star being both woefully ineffective and injury-prone, most fans weren’t too upset when news broke of his desire to leave the club in the winter window.
It now looks like such a move will occur, with several Bundesliga sides readying offers to take him off the Hammers’ hands.
Füllkrug will probably end up doing alright back in Germany, but his departure would be best for all parties involved, which is also the case for another West Ham dud Moyes once thought would be a success.
The West Ham star who must be sold
Aside from Füllkrug, the West Ham player most in need of being sold in the winter window is, unfortunately, James Ward-Prowse.
First Impressions
What did pundits and fans alike think about their new star signing when they arrived? Football FanCast’s ‘First Impressions’ series has everything you need.
The expectations around the Englishman’s £30m move in the summer of 2023 were even higher than for the German’s arrival, with then-manager Moyes highlighting his “leadership qualities” as a reason why he could become a “big voice” in the dressing room.
Now, to his credit, the former Southampton captain didn’t have the worst of starts during his time in the capital and actually ended his first campaign with a reasonable enough tally of seven goals and 12 assists in 51 appearances.
However, the wheels very quickly came off the following season as new manager Julen Lopetegui didn’t fancy him in his midfield and sent him away on loan to Nottingham Forest.
Unfortunately, Nuno, who was in charge of the Tricky Trees, also quickly realised he did not want the Englishman in the heart of his midfield and barely gave him any game time.
So, the Irons recalled the 31-year-old, and under Graham Potter, he once again became an important part of a team.
However, whether it was age, poor form or something else entirely, the former Saints star came back and looked miles off it and continues to look off the pace into this season.
He simply didn’t have the physicality or athleticism to do the defensive work required of a central midfielder, and he also became far more ineffective going forward.
So when Nuno was appointed manager in September, it was not a surprise to see the Portsmouth-born ace left out of the squad entirely.
Since the Portuguese manager has been in the dugout, the 11-capped international has not even featured in a match-day squad, and it is therefore fair to say his time at the London Stadium is well and truly over.
Therefore, like with Füllkrug, West Ham should sell Ward-Prowse as soon as possible.

The incredible talent could play a massive role in helping Nuno keep West Ham United in the Premier League this season.

Manchester United are on a better run of form than ever before under Ruben Amorim. They have now gone unbeaten in their last five games, a momentum that they will be looking to keep up ahead of what is set to be another busy festive period.
They will lose some players next month, though, with AFCON set to start just before Christmas. Bryan Mbeumo, who has been one of Amorim’s best players, will be representing Cameroon, and Noussair Mazraoui will be playing for Morocco, who host the competition.
However, perhaps the biggest loss for United will be Ivory Coast international Amad.
Why Amad will be the biggest loss during AFCON
It has not been easy for every member of United’s squad to find a place they fit into Amorim’s infamous 3-4-2-1 system. Yet, for Amad, that has been at right wing-back, a role in which he has gelled nicely.
The former Atalanta academy star has become a pivotal player on that right flank for Amorim. His electric ability going forward has been important, and his hard-working nature defensively is something which seemingly makes him a real favourite of the United manager on the right.
This term, the 23-year-old has made all but three of his ten Premier League appearances at right wing-back. Amad has grabbed two assists and a goal whilst playing that role, with the pick of the bunch surely the pass which set Mbeumo up to give the Red Devils an early lead at Anfield last month.
As to why Amad might be viewed as the biggest loss during AFCON, well, United don’t really have anyone else who can play that role like him.
If you take the Ivorian out of the equation, Diogo Dalot and Mazraoui, both full-backs, are the only viable options. The latter, of course, will be away on international duty himself.
So, Amorim may be forced to turn to the academy to help solve this particular issue.
United’s in-house Amad replacement
The academy has so often been the answer to United’s problems. Think back to Marcus Rashford’s debut for the club, when the then 18-year-old was drafted into the Europa League side at the last minute.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast’s In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
He scored twice on debut, did the same again against Arsenal a few days later, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Well, the person who could step into Amad’s shoes when he is on national team duty is Shea Lacey. The youngster is also a right-winger by trade, a position in which he has shone for their academy this season.
In nine games across all competitions for the Red Devils’ youth sides, Lacey has scored three times and assisted a further two. He averages a goal involvement every 101 minutes, mainly operating as a right-winger.
The Liverpool-born forward has always been a highly-rated player. He has shone for several years in a United shirt, notably “beating Lamine Yamal” to the player of the competition award in a junior tournament, as per GOAL’s Richard Martin.
One reason why the youngster could excel as a right wing-back is his crossing ability. Look at this pass he played for Gabriele Biancheri a few weeks back.
Operating from wide on the right, he’s able to move inside and loft a perfect cross into the path of the Wales youth striker, who scored a lovely goal.
Lacey has impressed against senior sides in the EFL Trophy this term, too. The 18-year-old has put up some impressive numbers, averaging one key pass and completing 1.7 dribbles per 90 minutes.

Losing Amad will be a blow to United, especially if this upturn in form continues. However, in Lacey, they might have a ready-made wing-back replacement, who, like Amad, will offer plenty going forward.
It could be seen as a risk to play the teenager in a new role, but if Amorim wants to keep in line with the DNA of the club, it might be something he is willing to do.

O Palmeiras não tem pressa para negociar o garoto Estevão, grande joia do clube e que tem tido cada vez mais chances entre os profissionais. O atleta desperta o interesse de, pelo menos, seis clubes da Europa, em especial do Chelsea, da Inglaterra, que tem conversas avançadas com o estafe do jogador.

Para o Palmeiras, no entanto, duas questões são inegociáveis: o valor a ser recebido e a presença de Estevão no elenco da próxima temporada.
No planejamento do Palmeiras, é imprescindível ter Estevão no Mundial de Clubes que será realizado no meio do ano que vem. Será a primeira vez que o torneio será disputado com 32 equipes, e a presença palestrina está confirmada por conta do título da Libertadores de 2021
➡️ Siga o Lance! Palmeiras no WhatsApp e acompanhe todas as notícias do Verdão
A ideia do Palmeiras é manter o jogador até o fim da próxima temporada, mas isso já é considerado muito difícil internamente. O meia-atacante tem 17 anos, o que impossibilita ele de se transferir para fora do Brasil até completar 18 anos, o que acontecerá em abril de 2025, dois meses antes do início da competição internacional. Ainda assim, o Palmeiras só aceitará negociar o jogador se o clube interessado topar mantê-lo no elenco do torneio.

Além disso, a ideia dos alviverdes é receber o valor líquido da multa rescisória de Estevão, que é 45 milhões de euros (R$ 245,2 mi, na cotação atual). O modelo de negócio foi embasado na venda do atacante Endrick ao Real Madrid, da Espanha. Na situação, o valor total do negócio, incluindo o resultado de bonificações e cumprimentos de metas, é 72 milhões de euros (R$ 393,45 mi), mas 12 milhões de euros (R$ 65,41 mi) são referentes a pagamentos de impostos arcados pelo time merengue.
Ainda que o Chelsea esteja bem próximo dos representantes de Estêvão, o Verdão quer ouvir outras propostas. O Paris Saint-Germain, da França, já sinalizou o interesse. O Barcelona inicialmente se retirou da disputa por divergências com o estafe do jogador palmeirense, que também cuida da carreira de Vitor Roque, atacante brasileiro que está em baixa no clube catalão.

Mesmo assim, os culés nunca saíram do radar do jovem palestrino, que na base tinha o apelido de Messinho. A alcunha, inclusive, se deve à relação afetiva que o jogador possui com o Barça. Ele sempre teve um carinho pela equipe espanhola, que observa o atleta desde as categorias de base. Neste momento, no entanto, a equipe do Camp Nou é a “última da fila” entre os interessados.

West Ham chiefs are looking to back new manager Nuno Espírito Santo with key additions in January as they attempt to stave off the looming threat of relegation.
The Hammers were gifted a ray of sunshine in an otherwise dismal start to the Premier League season just before this international break, winning back-to-back home games for the first time since October last year against Newcastle and Burnley.
While the two wins provide plenty of encouragement for Nuno after inheriting a squad bereft of confidence and form, reports suggest that the east Londoners will look to January for much-needed reinforcements to bolster their head coach’s squad.

Everton 1-1 West Ham
Arsenal 2-0 West Ham
West Ham 0-2 Brentford
Leeds 2-1 West Ham
West Ham 3-1 Newcastle
West Ham 3-2 Burnley
According to Sky Sports, Nuno has been told that funds will be available for West Ham to spend when the window reopens, and it is believed they’d ideally like a new defender, midfielder and forward.
With Niclas Fullkrug poised to leave West Ham in January, following a lacklustre spell marred by injuries and underwhelming form when available, it is more likely than not that a striker will be arriving at Rush Green, with Fabrizio Romano confirming their intention to sign one.
Romano also said recently that West Ham are in the mix to sign Man United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo amid his links to Napoli, so a new midfielder remains on the cards, but there are now suggestions that a winger could come in too.
West Ham could strike 'cut-price' January move for Adama Traoré
Indeed, according to Football Insider and journalist Pete O’Rourke, West Ham have been handed the opportunity to secure Adama Traoré on a bargain deal in January, with Fulham willing to accept a cut-price offer rather than lose the winger for free next summer.
Traore is in the final year of his contract and is not going to agree a new deal at Fulham, meaning January is their last chance to cash in if they sell him. The 29-year-old’s contract situation leaves the Cottagers vulnerable to low-ball bids, with Nuno apparently keen to reunite with a player he previously transformed at Wolves.
Before Nuno joined the Hammers, he tried to reunite with Traore at Nottingham Forest too, highlighting his long-standing admiration for the Spain international.
That being said, the forward has never quite reached the same heights he once hit under Nuno’s tutelage at Molineux, which included a failed spell at Barcelona.
During his best Premier League campaign to date, Traore bagged 13 goal contributions in 37 appearances for Wolves back in 2019/2020, finishing that campaign as their best-performing player on average whilst completing a seismic five successful take-ons per 90 (WhoScored).
Traore has enjoyed flashes of brilliant form at Craven Cottage too, with Marco Silva calling him an “almost unstoppable” player on his day.
