Toni Kroos ' contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of this season. The 32-year-old midfielder may be leaving in search of a new challenge after winning three La Liga titles and four Champions League titles in Spain.
According to the Spanish newspaper SPORT, Man City has approached to sign Kroos on a free transfer in the summer of 2023. They are willing to pay a salary of up to 230,000 pounds per week - enough to The former Germany international must be considered, especially when he was once Pep Guardiola's pet.
Kroos made 51 appearances under the Spaniard during their time at Bayern Munich. When he arrived at Real, he formed a formidable trio in the midfield with Luka Modric and Casemiro.
Talking about the future earlier this month, Kroos revealed: "My future? We will discuss it in January, February or March. My relationship with Real Madrid is special and will always be special. bye."
Kroos also appreciates his time with Guardiola , showing how much he wants to reunite with the four-time Premier League winner. The Real star said: "Guardiola fought to the last day for me to stay at Bayern. If I had to choose the perfect coach for my style of play, it would be Guardiola. I really enjoyed a year under him. Pep's mentorship, he improved me a lot."
The outside of the Emirates Stadium is surrounded by publications featuring pictures of Arsenal players as well as their legends. Currently, these images have been taken down in preparation for the replacement work that will take place in the coming days, when the club is out of action to make way for the World Cup.
Arsenal have had conversations with fans about new designs. Accordingly, there will be 8 designs that are new works of art that will appear outside the Emirates Stadium in the near future. These works depict memorable moments in the history of the London Gunners.
At this point, the final designs are yet to be approved, but installation should be completed by the new year 2023. Until then, the exterior of the Emirates Stadium will look more bare than usual. This is part of the home ground renovation and refurbishment Arsenal have planned for this year.
Earlier, in the summer, the London team installed new screens, as well as repaired the roof of the yard because it was old and there were leaks in some places. The Emirates Stadium opened in 2006 so there are signs of deterioration.
Contrary to the decline of infrastructure, the performance on the pitch of coach Mikel Arteta's teachers and students is very high. Because the World Cup will take place in almost a month, Arsenal will definitely be at the top of the rankings until the Christmas period. Currently, the Gunners have 37 points after 14 matches, with 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 matches.
In the 2022 World Cup, Arsenal has 10 players called up to the teams, including:
Goalkeepers: Matt Turner (USA), Aaron Ramsdale (England).
Defenders: Takehiro Tomiyasu (Japan), William Saliba (France), Ben White (England).
Midfielders: Granite Xhaka (Switzerland), Thomas Partey (Ghana).
Forwards: Gabriel Martinelli (Brazil), Gabriel Jesus (Brazil), Bukayo Saka (England).
In addition, a number of names in good form but were not allowed to attend the 2022 World Cup for various reasons, including Gabriel Magalhaes (Brazil - not selected), Martin Odegaard (Norway - did not qualify for the qualifying round). ) or Oleksandr Zinchenko (Ukraine - did not qualify).
Arsenal recently showed a superior level against the team that is at the bottom of the Premier League table - Wolves to bring back 3 valuable points. With Man City having suddenly stumbled before, the Gunners officially created a gap of up to 5 points with this competitor.
Before the achievements that have been achieved after the past half-way, coach Mikel Arteta certainly feels very satisfied. Interviewed with Sky Sports after the match, the 40-year-old strategist sent words of encouragement to his players after going through a huge challenge:
" The last match was extremely difficult both physically and mentally. We just played 1 game about 2 days ago and this time we have to be a guest, but you have to determine this mentality right from the start. if you want to stay at the top of the Premier League table ."
Despite Wolves' tight defense in the first half, the tireless efforts of the Arsenal players helped them to have 2 consecutive goals in the second half of the match. Meanwhile, if you look back at the recent defeat of Man City , Pep Guardiola's students have shown a lack of concentration despite playing at home.
In addition, the captain of the Gunners also did not forget to thank the fans for accompanying the team in the first half of the season. It can be seen that with a young and inexperienced squad, energy and enthusiasm are the only "weapons" that Arsenal should be proud of right now.
The 5-point gap in the rankings is enough for Arsenal players to safely attend the 2022 World Cup before the Premier League returns in December. But it must be said again that the tournament is only half way through. , so if you want to surprise this season, Mikel Arteta's teachers and students still have a lot of things to improve.
England will certainly not have the services of defender Kyle Walker in the opening match of the 2022 World Cup due to injury.
Coach Gareth Southgate has named Kyle Walker in his 26-man squad for the 2022 World Cup despite the Man City defender suffering a groin injury and having not played for his club since October 2.
Walker encouraged his coach by participating in England's training session today at Al Wakrah SC Stadium - where the temperature reached 32 degrees Celsius.
However, according to Sky Sport, England's opening match of the World Cup campaign against Iran next Monday (November 21) will be too soon for the full-back to return, and Walker himself. also confirmed that he will hardly be able to play in the remaining matches in the group stage. The Three Lions play the United States on Friday (November 25), before the final game against Wales on Tuesday (November 29).
Update to fans on Walker's condition when filling out the squad for Qatar, coach Southgate said: "Kyle is a bit different in that he has not returned to full training but he will be available before the round. end table."
"Of course we had to make a very difficult call with Reece James, who we think is a great player but he will not be available."
“There are too many unknowns for us on the road to recovery and I also don't think we can use a player who failed to play in the group stage because that would be considered obstinate. But other than that, if everything goes well and he's ready, we'll pick him. Kyle has a long way to go and is making great progress."
Kyle Walker has only made seven appearances this season, after sustaining a groin injury in City's 6-3 win over Manchester United.
There is no denying the legacies that Ronaldo left to the football world, but then the qualities that once made him number 1 are now a burden for Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's "Concept"
Needless to say too much about the legacies that Ronaldo has made during nearly two decades of professional play. Beyond the goals, trophies or records, the value left behind by Ronaldo is no longer limited to football. CR7 creates a lasting legacy in popular culture and becomes an inspirational story for anyone.
There have been many questions surrounding how a skinny guy from Madeira became one of the best players in history? It can be due to the iron will, it can also come from a professional attitude to the extreme, it can also come from a high ego and always aspire to be number 1.
But the desire to become the greatest player is always accompanied by a feeling of helplessness, fatigue or even despair when one's efforts do not bring the expected results. Ronaldo never wanted to experience those feelings, so he started practicing frantically to keep himself in the leading position.
The desire to be number 1 has made Ronaldo a top player
However, it is the story of a young Ronaldo, the fear of all defenders. This year, when time seems to have caught up with Ronaldo's steps, CR7's "concept" has become a burden. In other words, the qualities that made Ronaldo a legend are now returning to "betray" the striker himself.
The fact that CR7 tried to "escape" from Old Trafford, run away from the Europa League or refuse to enter the field from the bench said it all. After more than a decade of living with the position of the leader, Ronaldo could not bear to accept the fact that no one can stand against time. Therefore, he tried everything to hold back the weak aura, as a pain reliever to forget the harsh truth.
Ronaldo needs to let go of the concept
Ronaldo's shares with Piers Morgan may be controversial, but not unpredictable. Everyone understands that CR7 has drawn up a detailed plan for themselves after the above interview was published. The news that Ronaldo left MU this winter has also been spread for a long time and the day CR7 "cleans up" from Old Trafford is probably not far away.
Ronaldo seems to have closed his door at MU after his recent statement
Ronaldo de Lima once commented that accepting that he is no longer at the top is the most difficult thing for every player. That already difficult thing is even more difficult for Cristiano, who has a "crazy" notion of his own greatness. Eurosport newspaper commented that great people, like CR7, always have a little illusion of themselves in their minds.
It is time for the Portuguese superstar to understand and accept the fact that he is no longer good enough to compete in a "second tier" tournament like the Europa League. In other words, Ronaldo needs to soon forget what made him a legend in order to save the legacies he created throughout his career.
No one wants Ronaldo's career to end with controversial statements or missed training sessions. In fact, letting go of your own attachments is something that not everyone can do, but Ronaldo will have to accept to humble himself so that his career can end with a full-bodied violin, instead of ending with notes. unfinished low.
Ronaldo needs to learn to accept the truth
Nearly all players, no matter how great, accept to "retire" in a less competitive environment at the end of their career, and prepare for life after football. David Beckham entered the business and cherished the intention of making Inter Miami a force in MLS. Wayne Rooney more or less left his mark as a coach at Derby before or now at Washington United.
Ronaldo can completely go on the path of his old teammates or seniors. The question now will be whether any club is willing to recruit Ronaldo, and most importantly, will Ronaldo accept to go down that path? Only time can answer this question!
In a talk with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo said: " As Picasso once remarked, you have to demolish to rebuild ". CR7 wants to mention that he wants to be a part of MU even when the team rebuilds. But at this point, perhaps Ronaldo should think differently, think about "smashing" his legacy, putting aside the attachment that made him a legend to come to the most fulfilling ending in the last chapter of his life. player.
The board and members of MU could not help but be shocked after witnessing Cristiano Ronaldo's harsh statements criticizing the team and coach Ten Hag.
MU was shocked after Ronaldo's statements
Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo shocked when he criticized MU and coach Erik Ten Hag badly in an interview with The Sun.
It is worth mentioning that the MU side did not know about Ronaldo's drama interview. The members of the Red Devils only got the information when they returned from the plane after the 2-1 win over Fulham.
In an interview with The Sun, Ronaldo criticized MU and coach Ten Hag badly.
It is known that the BLD and MU members were shocked after Ronaldo's statements. They don't understand why CR7 criticizes the team so badly.
The MU side has not yet commented on Ronaldo's statements. In the near future, the Red Devils will quickly work with the Portuguese striker on the above incident.
Ronaldo's frank sharing recently made the relationship between him and MU increasingly tense. Before that, CR7 was said to use the excuse of pretending to be sick so that he wouldn't have to go with the whole team to be a guest to Fulham's field.
In the past time, Ronaldo has not won the trust of coach Ten Hag, so he often has to sit on the bench. CR7 has also said frankly that he does not respect the Dutch strategist after what he was treated.
