CAN 2023, here we go!
The start of CAN 2023 was launched yesterday by its host country, Côte d’Ivoire. In a melting Ebimpé Olympic stadium, the Elephants won without trembling 2-0 against Guinea-Bissau. The show started before the match, as the newspaper reports A.S. in its interior pages. A spectacle that has already made FIFA President Gianni Infantino say that this is the most beautiful CAN in history. For the media Young Africait was an opening ceremony “overexcited”. For Provence, “the party is on” and in a beautiful way. Faced with pressure from an entire people, Côte d’Ivoire provided the essentials by entering into its competition, as underlined The Team in its interior pages.
It’s war for Jordan Henderson
As you know, Henderson is desperate to leave Saudi Arabia, just six months after his arrival. The English midfielder would have difficulty adapting to his new culture and would like to find a new challenge this winter. And the 33-year-old is pushing to join Juventus, as claimed Tuttosport. He is ready to do anything, even drastically lower his salary. But the Turin coach has not yet given the green light. Ajax could benefit from this as revealed in Sunday Mirror. The Dutch club, unrecognizable this season in the league, wants him to help them get out of this hellish season. Information also relayed by the Sunday Star.
Kevin de Bruyne is indeed back!
Since his return from injury, Kevin De Bruyne has been used sparingly by Pep Guardiola. Limited playing time which does not prevent him from shining. In less than 30 minutes yesterday against Newcastle (2-3), KDB scored and provided the assist for Oscar Bobb. For the Sunday Mirror, he comes back with a banger. Same story on the front page of Sunday Star which puts the spotlight on the Belgian supersub. To the delight of Manchester City and football fans, Kevin De Bruyne is indeed back.
