Vinicius Jr’s difficulties open the way for Yan Diomandé
After being sent off against Villareal for a nasty hair pull, Vinicius risks missing the match against Sevilla, the trip to Camp Nou and possibly another match. After the match, Vinicius realized his actions and apologized to the supporters and his teammates on his Instagram account. In any case, this suspension will suit a certain Yan Diomandé. Scorer for the first time with Real Madrid last night, Diomandé will be the big winner of Vini’s absence. A.S. speaks of him as the providential man, and he can confirm it in the matches to come. Yan Diomandé has a good chance of starting this week in the Champions League against AS Roma, before confirming in La Liga next weekend. Getting better and better with Real Madrid, Diomandé is far from having justified his price, but his talent and ability to eliminate make him a crucial player for José Mourinho’s team.
The German press does no favors for Manuel Neuer
8.4 seconds, Manuel Neuer conceded the fastest goal in Bundesliga history. The fault was a catastrophic kick-off since the German goalkeeper missed his control and his hook, as a result, he weighed down Bayern very quickly. His ordeal did not end there, he should surely have done better on Augsburg’s second goal. Unhappy in this match, Manuel Neuer saw his teammates denied 4 goals! Final score 2-2, nothing dramatic for Bayern Munich, but the German press is worried and largely questions the untouchable status of Manuel Neuer, legendary veteran, but increasingly fragile. At 40, the former best goalkeeper in the world no longer seems as imperial in the eyes of the German media. Bild questions his ability to maintain his level and the number of bad matches he can still string together before a real decline. The article uses a formula attributed to the American boxing trainer Teddy Atlas : “an old boxer is just one fight away from becoming a clown”. Bild wonders if this idea can also be applied to Neuer after his performance in Augsburg.
Gabriel Jesus responds at the right time
There is one player who scored points again last night with Barcelona in the 3-0 victory against Getafe, it was Gabriel Jesus. “A mobile 9 that provides solutions and goals”writing Sport. Arriving on tiptoe at the very end of the transfer window, Gabriel Jesus knows very well that he is not coming to be a starter, at least on paper, but he is more than a fallback solution. Decisive every time he has playing time, the former Arsenal player has integrated himself into Hansi Flick’s squad in the best possible way. A joy for the German technician who will have to manage playing time, starting with Raphinha who contracted a physical problem in the selection. In other words, the form of Gabriel Jesus is excellent news for Barça who will need everyone this season.
