The Vinicius Jr affair is gaining momentum
All eyes and ears are on the Vinicius Jr affair. The Brazilian made headlines by letting his anger burst out when leaving, but beyond simple annoyance, he had very strong words, suggesting that he was going to leave the club. Marca insists on the pacifist role of Real Madrid in this affair, the club prefers to celebrate in peace, writes the newspaper. In the interior pages, it is explained that Vinicius Jr will not be sanctioned by his club, an important first piece of information given the noise his rant made. Internally, we assure that this slip-up is a locker room problem like so many others and that Xabi Alonso will manage it with his experience. So no fine is planned for Vini, only a meeting with his trainer which must take place tomorrow, when training resumes. The newspaper A.S. on the other hand is a little more pessimistic, it is explained that if the situation does not evolve between Xabi Alonso and Vinicius Jr, a departure will then be studied. The European press is also taking up this affair, capricious or misunderstood, asks the newspaper L'Team. Even in Portugal it is talked about in the newspaper RecordIn short, it's a soap opera that is far from over and Real Madrid will have to manage it as best as possible to avoid a scandal in the middle of the season.
Erling Haaland needs support
Manchester City cannot do it offensively and the English press has detected the problem: Erling Haaland is too lonely. City lost 1-0 at Aston Villa last Sunday and we therefore see that when the Norwegian cannot score, no one takes over. Haaland is at a stratospheric level this season with 11 goals already scored in the Premier League, except that he is the only one to shake the nets. THE Daily Star highlights the poor form of Tijjani Reijnders, decisive in his first meetings with City, but silent since. The Dutch international no longer has the influence he had a few weeks ago and he himself has realized that this must change. If Manchester City wants to fight for the title, they will have to help Erling Haaland a little more.
Juventus has chosen its new coach
Igor Tudor's replacement has obviously already been found: his name is Luciano Spalletti. The former Italy coach has been without a club since his departure from Squadra Azzurra, he remained in Serie A on a title with Naples. Spalletti is therefore in pole position explains La Gazzetta dello Sport the day after the ouster of Igor Tudor. The mission for Juventus is to find someone fairly quickly given the dramatic series that the Old Lady is going through, Raffaele Palladino and Roberto Mancini are the two possibilities in the event of failure with Luciano Spalletti, we should have the answer fairly quickly. After Roma, Inter Milan and Naples, the Italian technician could therefore discover Juventus.
