Controversy in Germany
A few days before the start of the Euro, the host country is in for a controversy which it would have happily done without. While training was open to the public, an altercation broke out in Germany. “Rüdiger and Füllkrug attack each other” in front of 4000 spectators, as told Bild in its interior pages. The two men almost came to blows because of a too strong tackle from the Real Madrid defender on the Dortmund striker, a remake of the Champions League final. The names of birds flew out, they jostled each other before Nagelsmann’s principal deputy intervened to separate them. In Europe, we are rubbing our hands over this clash. “It gets heated between Rüdiger and Füllkrug”relays The Team while the newspaper A.S. note that it was “hot”. With this incident, Germany is starting to feel the pressure to host and will have to assume its status as favorite. To ease tensions, Füllkrug posted a photo on his account Instagram where he was in the duel with Rüdiger. The two men, who have known each other since the youth selections, seem to have patched things up. At least that’s the message they wanted to send.
The Rabiot clan is greedy
A man makes the front page of Corriere dello Sport this Tuesday morning, it’s Adrien Rabiot. At the end of his contract with Juventus, the Frenchman has still not extended. According to our information, no agreement has yet been found between the different parties, even if the player remains open to the idea of listening to the Turin management. The presence of Thiago Motta plays a lot in the negotiations, but the player does not close any doors. And as the transalpine newspaper explains, “Rabiot tries AC Milan”. The Milan club have always liked the Frenchman and have already tried to attract him in the past. As is often the case with the Rabiot clan, the salary will make the difference. The Bianconeri are offering a three-year contract at €7 million, while the Rossoneri could instead focus on the length of the contract, with a greater number of years to put on the table. Rabiot is asking for around €7.5 million in salary.
Uncertainty around Saka
More than ever, the selection of the Three Lions is awaited. If the English are used to having a quality squad, they have never been able to translate all that into a title. The country that invented this sport is still waiting for a trophy since the 1966 World Cup. The team’s executives are all coming off a big individual club season. We think of Kane, Bellingham, Foden, Palmer, Rice and even Saka to name a few. Regarding the last one, doubt remains about his state of form. THE Daily Star speaks of a “race” time trial for the Arsenal star. The latter missed the last match of the season and is not in top form. He only played 25 minutes during the preparation matches. His absence for the start of the competition would obviously be a big blow.
