Barça are closely monitoring Lamine Yamal
After the controversy linked to Lamine Yamal's comments about Real Madrid, Barça decided to limit Lamine Yamal's media exposure to avoid further controversies as explained Sport in today's edition. The young player, initially scheduled for an OPPO event and an interview with French streamer AmineMaTué, was called back by the club to withdraw. FC Barcelona wants the new Spanish football star to moderate his social agenda and his commercial appearances, aware that his past statements have created unnecessary tensions. Lamine understood the need for this step back to protect his image and that of the team. This measure aims to preserve one's sporting progress while avoiding media distractions.
Disappearance of a tradition in England
In the Daily Mailwe are talking about the annihilation of Boxing Day. It has been tradition in England for ages to have several matches over the festive period. Except that this year, there will be no English championship day on December 26. Indeed, for reasons of obligations towards broadcasters, who have the right to 33 championship weekends per season, the Premier League must do a balancing act and cannot place a day outside Saturday-Sunday. Boxing Day will therefore be played over a weekend and only one of the matches on this day in question can be organized on Friday December 26. For the Mirrorthis episode on Boxing Day is “the latest example of the greed of the Premier League, Sky and TNT Sports, who have destroyed everything good in English football“.
Juventus relies on experience
Igor Tudor thanked, Juventus has found his successor. This is Luciano Spalletti who will officially take the reins of Juventus in the coming hours, with a contract including automatic renewal in the event of qualification for the Champions League. The former Napoli coach sees this assignment as personal revenge after difficult experiences with the Italian national team. The choice of Spalletti was supported by Giorgio Chiellini. The 66-year-old coach is considered the ideal profile to give impetus to a team lacking victories and goals. His first real challenge will be the fourth day of the Champions League group stage against Sporting Portugal, before starting in the league in Cremona. Juventus is banking on Spalletti's experience and authority to relaunch its season and create new momentum in the locker room.
