da pinup bet： Nesta sexta-feira (21), o São Paulo fechou a contratação do atacante uruguaio Facundo Milán, de 20 anos. O centroavante joga atualmente pelo Defensor Sporting, do Uruguai e fará parte do elenco sub-20 do Tricolor. A transferência já foi confirmada no site oficial dos dois clubes.

SÃO PAULO PERTO DE CONTRATAR O ARGENTINO RIGONI! VEJA OS DETALHES!
Em término de contrato, o jogador chega para reforçar a base do São Paulo e, possivelmente, agregar ao time profissional. O Tricolor pagará somente uma compensação ao Defensor para ficar com o atacante.
A diretoria são-paulina observa o atacante como uma grande promessa do futebol uruguaio e o atleta já foi, inclusive, alvo de comparações com Luis Suárez, atacante uruguaio astro do futebol mundial.
Mendo sendo considerado um dos jogadores de maior potencial na base, Milán sofre com a falta de oportunidades. No profissional do Defensor Sporting desde 2017, quando tinha 16 anos, o atleta ainda não decolou na carreira, embora ainda seja bastante jovem.
Um dos motivos que podem explicar seu desenvolvimento como atleta no profissional é a pouca quantidade de minutos pelo clube desde que subiu da base. Facundo estreou em 2017, marcando dois gols na estreia, mas desde então recebeu pouco tempo de jogo.
Segundo o jornalista uruguaio Nico Musetti, do portal La Voz del Tuerto, especializado no Defensor Sporting, o atacante jogou apenas 1390 minutos em três anos e sete meses pelo profissional, marcando somente sete gols. Na última temporada, o jogador entrou em campo nove vezes, marcando três gols.
Ainda de acordo com Musetti, o destaque do jogador é seu desempenho na base do clube, onde marcou um total de 130 gols em somente 113 jogos, tendo uma média de um gol a cada 70 minutos. É importante ressaltar que em quase metade dessas partidas o atacante foi capitão.
Milán recebeu o aval de Alex, treinador do sub-20 são-paulino, e Marcos Biassotto, diretor executivo da base tricolor. O seu time de criação, o Defensor Sporting é conhecido por revelar bons jogadores, como Diego Laxalt, Martín Cáceres, Maxi Gómez e o craque De Arrascaeta.
Mesmo que chegue para atuar primeiramente na base, Milán pode ser integrado ao profissional para resolver uma carência do clube, que vê necessidade em trazer um centroavante para a equipe principal.
Para o setor de criação e ataque, por exemplo, o Tricolor está perto de contratar o meia-atacante argentino Emiliano Rigoni, que deve assinar por três anos com o São Paulo.

Leeds United are back in Championship action once again this afternoon as they take on Plymouth Argyle at Home Park for the second time this month.
The Whites ran out 4-1 winners in Devon in the FA Cup as they needed extra time to secure the win, which earned them a clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the next round.
Daniel Farke's side are now going there in search of three points as they look to continue their march towards automatic promotion back to the Premier League.
Every match and point is important as the Whites compete with Southampton and Ipswich to secure second place, whilst Leicester City appear to be uncatchable with a 12-point lead over the Yorkshire-based outfit.
Leeds head into this match off the back of an emphatic 4-0 win away at Swansea in Wales on Tuesday night, as they demolished Luke William's side.
With games coming thick and fast, and a huge game against Leicester on the horizon, Farke could make some changes to his team to keep players fresh.
With that in mind, the German head coach should move Georginio Rutter aside, after an underwhelming – by his standards – display on Tuesday, to unleash Daniel James alongside Wilfried Gnonto in the attack.
The French gem has been one of the best creative talents in the Championship this season with his ability to consistently unlock opposition defences.
However, that was not on display in Wales earlier this week as the 21-year-old maestro failed to create a single opportunity for his teammates on the night.
The former Hoffenheim whiz also had four shots, totalling 0.32 xG, and did not find the back of the net, which meant that he ended the match without a goal contribution in the 4-0 drubbing.
Rutter, who did complete five of his nine attempted dribbles, is capable of far more than that when he is at his best as a number ten in the Championship.
The Leeds star currently ranks within the top 2% of forwards in the division for shot-creating actions (4.34) and Expected Assisted Goals (0.34) per 90 respectively, which shows that not many other players in his position create high-quality chances for their teammates as frequently as he does.
In 31 league appearances, Rutter has contributed with five goals and ten assists for his side, whilst the talented ace has also created a whopping 19 'big chances' for his fellow attackers.
These statistics show that the young magician has the quality to unpick defences with his fabulous passing, which is why his performance against Swansea was underwhelming.
This long trip to Plymouth could be the perfect opportunity for Farke to rest the Whites gem, ahead of next Friday's clash with Leicester at Elland Road.
That would open up the door for James to make his return on the right side of the attack, as Gnonto could be moved into a central position behind Joel Piroe at the top end of the pitch.
The Italy international has been in sublime form for Leeds in recent weeks and is finally showcasing his quality in the final third on a regular basis.
He had only managed one goal and one assist in his first 21 appearances in the Championship, which included seven starts for the former Zurich whiz.
Gnonto has started the club's last three matches in the division and chipped in with three goals and one assist, to take his total to four goals and two assists in 24 games.
The 20-year-old ace also found the back of the net against Plymouth at Home Park in the FA Cup in the middle of that run of fixtures, which means that he has already made an impact on this ground this month.
Interestingly, that goal also came from Gnonto moving into a central position to receive the ball from Glen Kamara on the edge of the box, which allowed him to take a touch and fire the ball into the bottom corner.
His goal against Bristol City and his second against Swansea also came from him drifting into the middle to run onto a pass before unleashing a fine shot to find the back of the net, which is why moving him into Rutter's position today could be a good move by Farke.
The German head coach should unleash James alongside Gnonto, and Crysencio Summerville, in the attacking three behind Piroe as the Welsh gem has the quality to be a difference-maker in the final third.
He came off the bench in the 4-0 win over Swansea for his first appearance since the 1-0 win over Norwich in January and could make his return to the starting line-up today.

As you can see in the table above, the former Manchester United winger was in fantastic form before his recent injury with at least one goal or assist in each of his last five appearances in all competitions.
James, who was hailed as "electric" by journalist Sanny Rudravajhala earlier this term, has been impressive throughout the 2023/24 campaign with his exciting play in the Championship.
The 26-year-old whiz has racked up ten goals, from 7.45 xG, and six assists, from 5.49 xA, in 23 league starts for Farke's side so far this term.
Only Piroe (11) and Summerville (15) have scored more goals than James in the second tier for Leeds this season, which speaks to how important his contributions have been at the top end of the pitch.
Ten goals to his name from 7.45 xG also shows that the Welsh dynamo has been ruthless in front of goal and more than made the most of the chances that his teammates have provided him with.
This suggests that Farke would not significantly weaken his team by ditching Rutter to unleash James alongside Gnonto and Summerville for this clash, which is why he can afford to rest the French whiz to hand important minutes to the 5 foot 7 winger to get him back up to full match fitness.
‘All these are decisions for the organisers, they have assess for their own sake and for the health of the people’
Nagraj Gollapudi12-Mar-2020The possibility of IPL 2020 being a severely restricted tournament – with at least some part of it being played to empty stands – in light of the coronavirus threat has increased following statements by two key ministries of the Indian government on Thursday. While the sports ministry said it would not stop sporting events from taking place as long as they adhere strictly to governmental guidelines, discouraging mass gatherings, the external affairs (foreign) ministry went a step further and said their advice was to not go ahead with the tournament at this time, but left the decision to the organisers.The IPL itself is yet to issue a statement on the tournament but its Governing Council is scheduled to meet franchises on March 14 in Mumbai. The 13th edition of the tournament will likely feature nearly 60 overseas players, arriving from and through different parts of the globe that have been affected by the pandemic.ALSO READ: How the cricketing world is reacting to coronavirusOn Wednesday, shortly after the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) a pandemic, the Indian government updated its travel advisory to increase visa restrictions for travel to India. At a press conference of the Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday afternoon in Delhi, Dammu Ravi, its point person to deal with COVID-19 issues, was asked about impact of the new travel advisory on the IPL.”We are analysing a lot of requests of the status of sports events that are being held in India and something linked to a mega event, which is already being planned, so how do you deal with this?” Ravi replied. “It is for the organisers to decide whether to go ahead with it or not. And then we will be open to the idea, if they really want to do it. Our advice would be not to do it at this time, but if they still want to go ahead it is their decision.”He was later asked how the government would deal with private organisations going ahead with their plans “for commercial considerations despite the grave danger”. “The advisory that we have received yesterday is very clear that only (for) compelling reasons if anybody wants to come they will come. Now it may even include sports events. At this point of time, I have no definite answer whether commercial events will be banned or not. But in course of time we will see how things evolve.”The IPL is the most lucrative tournament in cricket and offers the BCCI as well as the eight franchises substantial sums of money. In 2017, Star India bought the global broadcast rights for IPL for a record USD 2.55 billion. Consequently, each franchise would earn around INR 150-200 plus crore per season from the IPL’s commercial pot. Therefore, it would not be an easy decision for the BCCI to defer or cancel the IPL.Ravi, though, put the onus on the organisers, asking them to think beyond the commercial aspect. “If it is a commercial decision, then we will have to assess in course of time if that requires special guidelines to be issue on that,” he said. “If we are looking at mega events there is also Tokyo Olympics which is going to happen later this year as well – all these are decisions for the organisers, they have assess for their own sake and for the health of the people around in that country as to what decisions (they ought to take), but we will be reviewing it in course of time also.”How coronavirus is affecting cricket•ESPNcricinfo Ltd’People’s health cannot be put in danger’Earlier on Thursday, Kiren Rijiju, India’s Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports, spoke about the guidelines on mass gatherings, issued on March 5 by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. They quoted expert advice to “reduce mass gatherings to avoid the spread of COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus disease” and advised that mass gatherings be avoided or possibly postponed till the disease spread was contained.”All international events in India have been cancelled,” Rijiju told reporters outside Parliament. “But we are telling sports federations, we are telling all to comply with the guidelines issued by the Health Ministry. So any sports body in India should ensure [the guidelines are followed].”Asked specifically about the IPL, which is scheduled to start on March 29, Rijiju indicated that fans are likely not to be allowed at the grounds. “We are not stopping the game,” he said. “We are just telling [the IPL] to ensure that there is no mass gathering. Precautionary steps are very important for the health of the country.”Considering that IPL matches are usually attended by several thousand fans across all venues, Rijiju said the organisers would need to ensure that safety of the “people” is not put at risk. “That is the guideline,” he said. “If matches happen the organisers would need to put in place all infrastructure including screening machines. You cannot hold a match without that.”We are not saying anything to stop the match. We are just saying: even if they go ahead with the match, ensure that guidelines are followed. People’s health cannot be put into danger.”Shortly after Rijiju’s comments, the sports ministry also issued an advisory on Thursday to various national sports federations, the Indian Olympics Association as well as to the BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah.”To deal with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has issued advisories and advised the state governments to take appropriate action under the Epidemic Disease Act, 1897,” the sports ministry’s advisory said.”You are advised to adhere to advisories issued by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and ensure that no public gathering takes place in any sporting event. In the event, the sporting event cannot be avoided, the same could be done without allowing gathering of the people, including spectators.”A policeman wears a mask while on security detail amid the corona virus pandemic•BCCIOn Wednesday, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) a pandemic. Shortly after that, the Indian government changed its travel advisory to increase visa restrictions for travel to India. “All existing visas, except diplomatic, official, UN/International Organizations, employment, project visas, stand suspended till April 15, 2020. This will come into effect from 1200 GMT on March 13, 2020, at the port of departure,” the government statement said.ESPNcricinfo understands, however, that those connected with the IPL would come under employment or project visas, which is likely to leave the tournament unaffected as things stand.As per the figures released by the WHO, 118 countries have been affected by COVID-19, classified as a respiratory illness. More than 120,000 people have been infected with over 4,300 deaths worldwide. In India so far, 73 people have been infected with no deaths as yet.It remains to be seen how this development will affect the remaining matches of the ODI series between India and South Africa, which began on Thursday in Dharamsala. The second ODI is scheduled to be played in Lucknow on March 15, and the third ODI in Kolkata on March 18.On Wednesday, the BCCI issued its first statement on how it was dealing with the pandemic ahead of the series. Along with following the prescribed dos and don’ts on personal hygiene, the BCCI had asked the India players to be mindful during their interactions with fans, including not shaking hands or using third-party gadgets for selfies.The COVID-19 pandemic has already forced the cancellation and postponement of sporting events across the globe with a few of them in India. The first major tournament to be postponed was the 3×3 basketball Olympic qualifiers, which was scheduled to be held in Bengaluru from March 18 to 22.The Indian Open golf tournament, scheduled to be held in Gurugram from March 19 to 22, has been postponed, with the organisers promising to reschedule the event at “some point” later this year. The Shooting World Cup, in Delhi from March 15 to 26, has also been postponed, as has India’s FIFA World Cup qualifier against Qatar in Bhubaneswar on March 26. The India Open badminton tournament is going ahead as of now – in Delhi from March 24 to 29 – but without spectators.
Described as Metz's answer to Kylian Mbappe, the striker is out in front as top scorer in Germany after an exceptional group stage
Few would have predicted that minnows Georgia would reach the last 16 at Euro 2024 in what is their first major tournament, let alone that they would have the leading goal-scorer in their ranks at the conclusion of the group stage. GOAL earmarked Georges Mikautadze as a potential breakout star of the European Championship, but with three goals in as many games, he has surpassed expectation and probably his wildest dreams.
The striker – who is eligible for France but elected to play for Georgia after a media campaign in 2021 – netted a clinical finish to become his country's first-ever major tournament goal-scorer in their opener against Turkey, before coolly converting spot-kicks in the draw with the Czech Republic and the quite incredible 2-0 win over Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal that booked the Caucasus nation a place in the round of 16.
Away from his goals, the 23-year-old's pace and trickery have caught the eye, and after a rollercoaster few years he is destined for bigger things after his current club Metz suffered relegation to Ligue 2. But what is the story behind Euro 2024's leading marksman? GOAL has you covered…
Where it all began
Mikautadze may represent Georgia at international level, but he was born in Lyon, France, in 2000. His parents emigrated there from war-torn Georgia in the late 90s and would only return home in the summers, although they would teach their son his mother tongue.
His footballing journey began at FC Gerland in 2007, in the shadow of Lyon's former stadium of the same name in the south of the city. Perhaps inevitably, he was soon scouted by the then-serial Ligue 1 winners and would spend seven years of his development with his hometown club.
After leaving Lyon in 2015 and a brief spell with Saint-Priest on the outskirts of the city, Mikautadze would join current club Metz, 460km away, in 2017. There he would spend two years in the academy before swiftly being promoted to the B team – who play in the French third tier – having caught the eye.
AdvertisementGettyThe big break
In the 2019-20 season, Mikautadze's form in the B team earned him a place in the senior Metz squad for three consecutive games in December, and he would come off the bench to make his senior debut against Nice in a seven-minute cameo. That wouldn't end up being a major breakthrough, though, as the forward would be forced to wait patiently to get his chance at Metz.
Instead, it was a loan in Belgium when Mikautadze was 20 years old that proved to be a watershed; he spent two seasons with Seraing, on the outskirts of Liege, and demonstrated his potential to become a prolific goal-scorer. Eventually firing Seraing to promotion from the Belgian second tier in his first campaign, Mikautadze started as he meant to go on as he scored FOUR times on his debut against Lommel. After just nine games he had 15 strikes to his name, including a further two hat-tricks.
Although his goal rate would decrease in the second half of the season, he would still finish the regular league term with 19 goals in 22 games. And he would come up clutch when it mattered most, scoring twice and providing an assist across a two-legged promotion/relegation play-off against Beveren as Seraing triumphed 6-3 on aggregate.
GettyHow it's going
Mikautadze would be loaned back to Seraing for their promotion campaign, showcasing that he could score goals in a European top flight as he netted nine times in the Belgian Pro League, making another fast start with seven goals in his first 10 appearances. He could not prevent his side finishing in the relegation play-off place, but once again came up clutch with the only goal in two legs against Molenbeek to keep Seraing up.
The attacker returned to Metz for 2022-23 having finally earned the opportunity to be a starter – it was just unfortunate for him that Les Grenats had been relegated from Ligue 1 the previous season. Nevertheless, he would make the most of the platform in Ligue 2, making 31 goal contributions in 37 games in a stellar individual term as he once again played a huge role in a promotion campaign, finishing as the French second tier's top scorer and being named player of the season.
His form back in France piqued the interest of a European giant, with Ajax shelling out €16 million (£13.5m/$17m) to bring Mikautadze to Amsterdam in the summer of 2023. He said he "didn't hesitate for a second" when Ajax came calling, but his big move went awry amid the overarching chaos at the Johan Cruyff Arena as he made just nine appearances in a bit-part role in the first half of the season. In November, caretaker manager John van't Schip suggested he was struggling to adjust. "With him, he may still have to adapt to the way we want to play as Ajax," he said. "If you lose the ball, what do you do? And how are you going to apply pressure? These are things that he may need a little more time for. But it is clear that he can play football."
In January 2024 the drastic decision was taken to loan Mikautadze back to Metz – a move that would pave the way for the exceptional form we have witnessed at the Euros. He almost singlehandedly saved Metz from relegation as he scored 11 times back in familiar surroundings, including a run of eight goals in seven games to finish the league campaign.
Metz manager Laszlo Boloni said in April: "He lost quite a bit of his honour at Ajax. Now, he’s rediscovering his wellbeing. For the whole team, when you have a goal-scorer, it’s the most joyous thing. Mikautadze isn’t Kylian Mbappe, but he’s FC Metz’s Mbappe!” Ultimately, though, it was not enough to save Les Grenats, who were defeated 4-3 on aggregate by Saint-Etienne in the promotion/relegation play-off despite another Mikautadze strike.

Biggest strengths
Two of Mikautadze's three Euro 2024 goals have come from the penalty spot, but his first – an instinctive first-time finish against Turkey – demonstrated that he is a penalty-box poacher who knows just how to finish off an opportunity, while his pace and trickery are also eye-catching.
"My strong point is my finishing," the striker said during his time with Seraing. "Dribbling, accelerating and shooting: that's what I'm good at, that's my main quality. I've been doing that since I was a child. I'm used to playing as a No.9, appearing in front of goal, creating chances and shooting on goal."
The Georgian hitman also remarkably boasts the ability to play off either his left or his right, having worked on his two-footedness as soon as he was playing. "Yes, it's [two-footedness] a big advantage," he said in an interview upon signing with Ajax. "Since I was a child I would train my weaker left foot all the time, and little by little my left foot would become equal to my right."
Capable of operating across the frontline and in attacking midfield, his versatility is also a huge asset. His former manager Emilio Ferrera described him as "a phenomenon". Speaking to he said: "He can score in all possible ways: in a moment, after a dribble, with a long shot, with the left, with the right… just not with his head."
The contest was four balls short of being a match with the Thunder ahead of what the DLS target would have been
Andrew McGlashan21-Dec-2019The BBL match in Canberra was abandoned – four balls short of being a game – after smoke from the devastating bushfires, which are raging in New South Wales, drifted back over Manuka Oval on Saturday evening leading the umpires to suspend play due to poor visibility and air quality.The situation did not improve by the 9.14pm cut-off time to resume the game so each side took one point. The Thunder were ahead of both the par score after five overs (34) and what an adjusted five-over target would have been if there was time to resume for five more deliveries (38). When play was initially suspended, Callum Ferguson showed his frustration, although players and officials from both sides were quick to express their understanding of the situation.”There’s some people in the wider area going through some horrific times, so the fact you drop a point is not anything compared to what other people are going through,” Shane Bond, the Thunder coach, said. “The decision was made, we respect that decision and we are happy with the one point.”Visibility got poor during Sydney Thunder’s chase•Getty Images
Umpire Paul Wilson told Fox Cricket: “I understand that the Thunder have four balls to go. We can’t take that into consideration. It’s about air quality. We would not have started like this.”A BBL statement said: “The KFC Big Bash League advises that tonight’s match between the Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Strikers at Manuka Oval has been abandoned due to dangerous and unreasonable playing conditions. The decision was taken by match officials after conducting a thorough assessment of conditions at the ground, with participant safety the number one priority. The League and all Clubs wish to reiterate that our thoughts and best wishes are with the people and communities affected by the current bushfire emergency.”Conditions had been assessed before the game started – with hazardous levels of air quality reported in the region – following heavy smoke at the venue on Friday, but the air had cleared sufficiently for the match to begin on schedule. The first innings was completed without incident, but in a matter of minutes during the chase, the smoke rolled in across the ground.”It’s been a bit hard to breathe all game, really,” Jake Weatherald said to the host broadcaster shortly after play was suspended. “You can see it coming though. Even the smell a little bit, we noticed it yesterday when we were training. We were training and there was this repugnant smell of fire.”Jonathan Wells hooks during his rapid half-century•Getty Images
It is the first professional match to have its result impacted by the fierce bushfire season, which has struck across Australia. Earlier this month, the Sheffield Shield game between New South Wales and Queensland at the SCG was completed in extremely hazy conditions, which raised a health and safety debate. There are concerns about the situation that could arise during the New Year Test at the SCG early next month, with Sydney having been blanketed in smoke regularly in recent weeks.Though when this match was called off the Thunder were within touching distance of victory, if the game had run its distance, the Strikers could have come back. Rashid Khan was just two balls into his first over, although the in-form Ferguson was hitting the ball crisply after Usman Khawaja had been superbly held at slip by Cameron White as Alex Carey dived in front of him.The Strikers’ innings had started poorly with Daniel Sams beginning with a wicket maiden, removing Phil Salt for a five-ball duck, before Matt Short was lbw sweeping at Jono Cook. However, Weatherald began the recovery with a well-paced 42 only to be undone by Sams’ perfect slower-ball.When Chris Morris, making his first appearance for the Thunder, removed Alex Carey and Rashid in the space of three balls, it appeared as though the innings would stutter to a finish, but Jono Wells struck a thumping 55 off 32 balls as 36 runs came from the last three overs.
كشف آرني سلوت المدير الفني الهولندي لفريق كرة القدم الأول بنادي ليفربول الإنجليزي، عن موقف المصابين قبل مواجهة ليل الفرنسي في دوري أبطال أوروبا.
ليفربول يستضيف ليل غدًا الثلاثاء، ضمن منافسات الجولة السابعة ببطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، لمرحلة الدوري، على ملعب أنفيلد رود.
ويحتل ليفربول صدارة ترتيب دوري أبطال أوروبا برصيد 18 نقطة، بالعلامة الكاملة.
وقال سلوت في المؤتمر الصحفي: “جوتا خاض فترة إعداد طبيعية، لكن كييزا لم يكن كذلك. إنه سيئ الخظ، في العديد من المرات كلما كان يقترب من العودة يتعرض لانتكاسة”.
طالع أيضًا.. ماذا فعل كورتيس جونز لمصالحة جماهير ليفربول بعد تصريحه الصادم بشأن محمد صلاح؟
وأضاف: “جوتا مثال رائع للاعب الملتزم والصامد، رغم الإصابات التي تعرض لها، ولكنه دائمًا يسعى للعودة وبقوة، إذا كان بعيدًا عن المباريات كثيرًا، فإنه لا يمكنه المشاركة كثيرًا وعلينا توخي الحذر بشأنه”.
وأشاد بـ نونيز: “لا أعتقد أنها المرة الأولى التي يكون فيها نونيز بهذا الموقف، غاب جوتا عن مواجهة تشيلسي وكان نونيز في الموعد، لدينا 4 مهاجمين في أفضل حالاتهم، وكييزا الخامس خاصة أنه أصبح أقرب من أي وقتٍ مضى”.
وأردف بالحديث عن جرافنبيرخ: “ربما لا نملك لاعبًا مشابهًا أو بديلًا له، لكن الأمر متشابه بالنسبة للجميع، كل لاعب لدينا فريد من نوعه، لدينا إندو وماك أليستر وكورتيس جونز، جميعهم يمكنهم تقديم نفس الأدوار”.
وأشار لعودة المصابين: “جوتا قد يعود قبل جو جوميز، خلال أسابيع وليس شهر، ومن الصعب دائمًا تحديد مدة الغياب، لأن هناك انتكاسات قد تحدث للاعبين أثناء فترة التعافي، لأن المرحلة الأخيرة من إعادة التأهيل هي الأصعب”.
وعن موقف ليفربول قال: “تصدرنا حافز لمواصلة السعي، نريد الفوز في كل مباراة، ونريد أن نتأهل بين أفضل ثمانية فرق، ونعلم أننا نحتاج إلى نقطة واحدة لتحقيق ذلك. لكننا لن نلعب ضد ليل من أجل النقطة، سنسعى للفوز، مثلما فعلنا ضد آرسنال وريال مدريد ومانشستر يونايتد”.
وعن فريق ليل، قال سلوت: “العديد من المدربين يغيرون الخطط وفقًا للمباريات، ولكن أسلوب ليل واضح، وأتوقع أن نرى مواجهة مفتوحة، يمكنهم الضغط علينا في كل مكان بالملعب”.
وشدد: “هؤلاء اللاعبين معتادون على الفوز بالمباريات الكبيرة، لقد أحبوا ذلك، وللكن الفوز على ريال مدريد وليفركوزن لا يمنحنا الثقة المبالغ فيها، يمكنني قول ذلك إذا كنت في فينورد، ربما الانتصارات مثل هذه تجعلهم يحتفلون بغرف خلع الملابس”.
وعن نظام دوري أبطال أوروبا هذا العام، قال: “من الصعب الحكم طالما أن الموسم مستمر، هناك جانب إيجابي للفرق في التصنيف الثالث والرابع، حيث تواجه فرقًا من تصنيفها، وهذا يمنحها فرصًا أكبر، ولكن النظام القديم لم يكن الأمر سهلًا بالنسبة لهم”.
وعاد بالحديث عن مواجهة ليل: “أنا معجب بهم ولست مندهشًا، لقد واجهت مدربهم الحالي قبل عامين أو ثلاثة، قبل بضعة أسابيع، تمكنوا من هزيمة ريال مدريد وأتلتيكو مدريد، ولكن أيضًا واجهوا سبورتينج لشبونة عندما كان أموريم هناك، وكذلك يوفنتوس، والآن نحن من سنواجههم. أتوقع مباراة صعبة للغاية”.
واختتم بالحديث عن نونيز: “أعلم أنكم تتحدثون عن الطرد، وسعيد لأنني تلقيت هذا السؤال. كان سيُطرد بعد 2-0، لذا لم يكن الطرد سبب فوزنا، وكما قلت، أصعب شيء في كرة القدم هو القتال من أجل الثبات، وداروين يفعل ذلك”.
