Pat Nevin criticizes the management of Chelsea after Tod Boehly took over Stamford Bridge, succeeding Roman Abramovich. Nevin believes that under the new ownership, Chelsea's team is much weaker than it was a few years ago.
"Chelsea are almost unrecognizable compared to the club it was two years ago. It's not just the players, but the overall vision. The age of the players, the lack of big stars, even the atmosphere in the stadium, just everything. In the Premier League, you can't just bring in a group of young players with no experience. It's madness, regardless of the billion spent, they simply don't matter," Nevin said.
"Do they look close to the top four? No! Chelsea looks like a team developed by an algorithm. This looks good, that too, and the next one too, but the collective doesn't work. The left-back doesn't work well with the left winger, the next one doesn't either. Kyle Pal
Carlos Ohene's transfer to Levski is now official, as he leaves Hebar Pazardzhik. The experienced footballer spoke in an interview with the club's television during the team's camp in the Turkish resort of Belek. Ohene hopes for strong matches with the capital's grand team, as well as for scoring goals.
"I feel good at Levski, and everything is fine with my situation in the club. I am really happy to be here among you all. I decided to transfer to Levski very, very quickly. I felt grateful during my debut for the club. The pleasure is incredible to play with the blue jersey. I eagerly await the official matches with it. I feel great with my new teammates," Ohene began.
"The first and most important impression from the coaching staff was in our first conversation. The coach came and shared his idea with me, and I need to understand the philosophy of play that the team adheres to under h
The boss of Lokomotiv Plovdiv, Hristo Krusharski, gave his opinion on the current situation surrounding star goalkeeper Dinko Horkas. Krusharski announced that there has been serious interest in the 24-year-old goalkeeper from several clubs, but his manager intervened, which, according to him, will have a negative impact.
"In football, when you give a player a chance to play, he imposes himself and becomes a star. He learns from mistakes. Horkas had enough time to shine. It is normal to think a little, rather than his manager, because he confuses his head with great promises and billions. When you talk to a player about money, he gets completely confused," Krusharski said.
"With Horkas, things are a bit different. He has grown a lot, he got a chance. We had talks, there were offers for sale, but his manager intervened, and he listened to him. We will start developing our youngsters. Fr
Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp spoke at an official press conference before the big derby with Arsenal in the Premier League. The German specialist commented on the possible consequences of a win or loss against the Gunners. The match between Arsenal and Liverpool at Emirates is on Sunday and kicks off at 18:30.
"For the first time this season, we have the luxury of having more players available than can start in the starting lineup. We need all of them. We've had a lot of injuries, but we've been lucky with the boys who have returned at the right time. That's why we are where we are. I'm very happy that everyone looks in good shape. Arsenal is indeed a tough opponent, and we'll have to give our best," Klopp said.
"If we beat Arsenal, we'll be eight points ahead of them. If we lose, Arsenal will be only two points behind, but the big winner will be Manchester City. These are the things t
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has shared his opinion on the speculation surrounding central forward Erling Haaland, which links him to Real Madrid. Similar information has emerged in the Spanish media, and Pep clarified what's happening with the Norwegian international.
"You should ask the media in Madrid if he's unhappy. Perhaps they have more information than we do. We don't have the feeling that he's unhappy. He was because he couldn't play, he was injured for two months, but maybe the media in Spain, especially in Madrid, have more information than us," Guardiola commented.
"We can't control what people say, but the important thing is that he is happy. When he's not happy, he'll make his decision," the Spanish coach added.
The English vice-champion Arsenal is ready to part ways with Brazilian winger Marquinhos before the transfer window closes. Although a sale is not ruled out, a loan move for the player still seems more likely. Marquinhos himself desires regular playing time.
Currently, the 20-year-old player faces stiff competition, with Bukayo Saka occupying the same position. During the first half of the season, Marquinhos was loaned to Nantes in Ligue 1, where he gained valuable experience. However, he will once again play briefly for another team before returning to Arsenal.
Despite many still believing in Marquinhos' potential at the club, the current set of players means it will be difficult for him to secure regular playing time, something the youngster needs. Corinthians are currently monitoring the situation surrounding the winger, and those close to Marquinhos believe that a return to Brazil
Former Cherno More and Lokomotiv Plovdiv midfielder, Petar Vitanov, now has a new club. The midfielder signed a contract for a year and a half with the Belgian second-division team Beveren, with an option for extension for another season included in the deal. The 28-year-old Vitanov was part of the Chinese Tianjin Tigers in the first half of the season.
"Born on March 10, 1995, in Sofia (Bulgaria), Petar Vitanov has established himself as a key player in the defensive midfield zone. His international experience includes eight appearances for the Bulgarian national team, where he stood out as a solid player who supports his team both in defense and in attack. His tactical insight and physical presence make him a valuable addition to any team," the sports director Tom Van den Abele said to the team's official page.
"We had two other good opportunities for Vitanov, but in the end, we chos
The central striker of Arsenal - Gabriel Jesus, talks about his performances this season. The 26-year-old forward has played in 23 matches for the Gunners, shining with 8 goals and making 5 assists.
Jesus has been playing at the Emirates since 2022, and before that, he was part of Manchester City's squad.
"I'm close to scoring my 100th goal in the Premier League. It's not easy! I score in the Champions League as well, for the national team. Before, I said that I don't focus on my goals, and that's my mistake," Jesus said.
"So now, I think I'll change my mindset. I'll try to be more present in the penalty area and do everything possible to score," the Brazilian striker shared, quoted by Arsenal Buzz.
Italian Serie C side Crotone officially announces the acquisition of former Levski player Dimitar Kostadinov. The attacking midfielder joins the club on loan from Septemvri Sofia until the end of the season, with a buyout clause included in the agreement between the two parties, which can be activated at the end of this season.
Crotone currently occupies the 4th position in the temporary standings of the Italian Serie C - Group C, trailing the league leader Juve Stabia by just 9 points. The first place in Serie C grants direct promotion to the second tier of Italian football, while the clubs from 2nd to 10th place will compete for promotion through playoffs.
24-year-old Dimitar Kostadinov is a product of Septemvri's youth academy, having previously played for Levski, Neftohimik, and Tsarsko Selo. This season, the attacking midfielder has scored 8 goals in 21 matches for Septemvri in th
The French giants Paris Saint-Germain are planning to make a new attempt to secure the services of central striker Marcus Rashford in the summer. As it is known, the Princes already tried to tempt the English national during the middle of 2022, offering him a serious £400,000 per week.
Ultimately, Rashford stayed at Old Trafford" and signed a new contract with the Red Devils worth £300,000 per week last July, tying his future to Manchester United until 2028.
However, this season, Rashford's performance as an offensive player has been far from satisfactory, and criticism of him has been mounting recently. Marcus Rashford has also been involved in a scandal off the field, for which the club announced that he will be sanctioned. PSG's idea is to take Rashford as a substitute for Kylian Mbappé, who is likely to join Real Madrid this time.
