Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that he will be holding talks with Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis after seeing his winless start as Reds boss extended to seven games. Sack calls have been mounting at the City Ground, but the former Tottenham manager insists he has never been one to back down from a fight and believes that he can deliver a reversal in fortune.
Postecoglou still waiting on first win as Forest boss
That decision to continue may be taken out of his hands, with the Australian enduring a historically disastrous start to his reign on Trentside. After being appointed as successor to Nuno Espirito Santo on September 9, Postecoglou is yet to oversee a morale-boosting victory. Just one point has been picked up across four Premier League fixtures – with Forest’s latest top-flight setback coming at the hands of Newcastle.
Postecoglou also saw his side surrender a two-goal lead to crash out of the Carabao Cup in dramatic fashion at the hands of Championship side Swansea, while also going down 3-2 to Danish side Midtjylland in Forest’s first European game on home soil in 29 years. He was subjected to chants of “You’re getting sacked in the morning” from his own fans during that continental fixture.

Postecoglou to meet with Forest owner Marinakis
There was little sign of improvement at St James’ Park, despite the hosts taking 58 minutes to break the deadlock, with Postecoglou left cutting a frustrated figure on the sidelines. Despite spending just a month in his current role, it is becoming increasingly difficult to see how he can turn things around.
Forest owner Marinakis is a demanding character, with the Greek shipping magnate having invested heavily in a bid to make the Reds competitive at home and abroad. He will be aware of what supporters are saying, with another face-to-face meeting with Postecoglou being lined up.
Quizzed on whether those talks will be taking place, Postecoglou told reporters: “I expect to have a discussion with the owner and everyone else at the club about what we’ve embarked on here, where we’re at and what we need to do, for sure. If people want to make an assessment of me after three-and-a-half weeks and seven games, there’s nothing I can do about that.
“At the same time, there’s nothing wrong with things being tough. That’s OK. I did have an option. I could have been sitting on the couch watching the game today and not being in the middle of it. I’d rather be here; much rather be here. I love a fight. So it’s a fight, it’s a struggle? So what? That’s OK.
"If people outside, or even internally, don’t think I’m the right person, it makes no difference to me. I took this role on knowing it would be a massive challenge with what we are trying to do in terms of changing the direction of the club. Nothing I have seen has changed my view on that. I love the challenge of taking this club to where it needs to be. I’m very confident we’ll get there.”
Postecoglou happy to fight for Forest future
Postecoglou bit back with when being pressed again on the supposed threat to his position at the City Ground: “Seriously, what’s wrong with something being hard? What’s wrong with that? Why do we want everything delivered nicely packaged? I’m sure your parents had a struggle in their life and they didn’t give up. You might even have been a lost cause at some point, but they didn’t give up on you.
“It seems these days as soon as something goes wrong, it’s right, that’s it, it’s wrong, we’ll change it. Everything that needs something fixed is invariably going to go through a tough time. I see it being an exciting opportunity. That’s why I took the role. I still believe that now, more so than ever before. At the same time, you’ve got to embrace there’s going to be a fight and a struggle for it.
“I’m here in the Premier League at the age of 60, you reckon I lack self-belief or don’t like a fight? I didn’t get here because of my connections. In fact, I’ve picked fights. I have. In the schoolyard, I’ve picked fights with people I knew would beat me up. That’s the kind of person I am. I totally understand it’s part of the fanfare around the Premier League that there needs to be a manager under the spotlight. It’s my turn at the moment. But like most managers, we enjoy having a challenge on our hands.”

Nottingham Forest fixtures: Tough run approaching
Things are not about to get any easier for Forest, who sit 17th in the Premier League table, with the Reds set to return to action after the latest international break with a run of games against Chelsea, Porto, Bournemouth and Manchester United.
Rasmus Hojlund has lauded the impact Antonio Conte is having on him now that he is playing for Napoli. The Dane has a new lease of life back in Italy, having previously played in Serie A for Atalanta, and netted in his team's 2-1 win over Genoa at the weekend. Ex-Manchester United teammate Scott McTominay has been a similar beneficiary of the much-travelled coach.
Napoli move necessary
Hojlund told local station Radio Kiss Kiss that leaving Manchester United for Napoli was something that he had to do for his career, having been pushed down the pecking order at Old Trafford following the big money acquisition of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
"Conte is a top coach," Hojlund told Radio Kiss Kiss. "I came here because I knew this was an important step for me. Napoli is a great club, and a wonderful place to live. It's exactly what I need right now in my career."
Hojlund had started the recent summer transfer window determined to stay at Old Trafford, but was forced to reconsider his position when it was clear that the club was looking to go in another direction – also spending substantial sums on Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
Conte's Napoli are operating in a 4-1-4-1 system, whereby the attacking midfielders and wingers have more license to support Hojlund as the lone striker thanks to the sitting No. 6.
He had previously done respectably well under Erik ten Hag at Manchester United in a 4-2-3-1, but the squad struggled to then adapt to Ruben Amorim's very different 3-4-2-1. Hojlund's confidence slowly drained away over the course of last season, but he insists his new-found spirit is not linked to being utilised in a different tactical setup.
"For me it's the same, I don't care about the formation," he said. "I just play football and try to do my job as best I can."
Conte: Man Utd could regret losing Hojlund
Conte has overseen some of Romelu Lukaku’s best seasons, across spells with Inter and now Napoli, proving his ability to get the best out of strikers who haven't hit their potential elsewhere.
Potential is exactly what he sees in Hojlund, who is not yet the finished product but has certainly quickly demonstrated to his new boss that stardom is a possibility in the future.
"He's a 22-year-old who was on the sidelines at Manchester United. He has significant room for improvement; he needs to work because he has the potential to become a star, and he's proving it," Conte told reporters after the Genoa victory.

Chasing down last season's goal tally
With two goals in four Serie A appearances for Napoli under his belt, Hojlund is already halfway to matching his Premier League tally from the whole of last season – netting just four times in 32 games in England's top flight. The striker had scored 10 times in his first Premier League campaign in 2023-24, which remains his most prolific return in a league setting in his career to date.
Hojlund scored nine Serie A goals for Atalanta during his sole prior season in Italy.
It's four goals in six Napoli outings across all competitions, having netted both in this month's 2-1 Champions League win over Sporting CP.
Kiran Carlson’s century is in vain as Glamorgan lose inside three days
ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay06-Apr-2025Leicestershire 427 (Hill 96, Wright 74, Handscomb 63, Budinger 56, Cox 51, Asitha 4-71, Gorvin 4-51) and 53 for 0 (Budinger 32*) beat Glamorgan 229 (Cooke 55, Holland 3-40, Mike 3-54) and 248 (Carlson 113, Gorvin 50*, Holland 4-46, Green 3-28) by 10 wicketsLeicestershire sealed a comfortable win against Glamorgan inside three days in the opening match of the Rothesay County Championship despite a magnificent century from Kiran Carlson.Carlson played a patient five-hour innings for his 113 as he was made to rescue Glamorgan from 10 for 2 with some support shown by Andy Gorvin making a maiden half-century to ensure Leicestershire would bat again despite the unlikeliness.Ian Holland and Ben Green dominated with the ball, the American international taking 4 for 46 to go with his three-fer in the first innings.There were concerns for Leicestershire though as Chris Wright hobbled off midway through an over after scoring 74 at No.10 and with Rishi Patel still unable to field due to his damaged thumb with the next match against Derbyshire just five days away.Glamorgan righted all their wrongs from the final session on day two within just 18 balls with Gorvin claiming the wickets of Ben Cox on the second ball of the day for 51, and then Wright, the Foxes adding just one to the total from the previous evening.Needing 198 just to make Leicestershire bat again, Glamorgan’s chances withered away in an instant. Holland with the new ball on a string brought back familiar memories of that 48 hours prior when Zain Ul Hassan fell for a second single-figure score in the match and Sam Northeast first ball, Glamorgan still needing 188 to make the visitors bat for a second time.Enter Carlson. With no expectations of a result, the white-ball captain carried the weight of the side for a five-hour knock. Battling through the movement on the ball Glamorgan never seemed to find with the same effect as Leicestershire. As Eddie Byrom fell slashing at a wide half-volley, Ingram unable to replicate his and Carlson’s 174-run partnership from a similar position in this fixture just eight months prior, and Ben Kellaway next, it was soon 46 for 5 with five sessions still left in the match.As the ball got older, Chris Cooke added some resistance and the home-grown Carlson began to show positivity, manoeuvring around his crease and oozing class with an uppercut off Ben Mike for six to bring up his half-century, shortly followed by a cut shot mid-leap to pass 5,000 first-class runs for the Welsh county.With Green continuing to impress economically as Glamorgan bided their time, Cooke eventually fell for a hard-fought 21, Timm van der Gugten attempting to withstand pressure succumbing to the extra pace of Mike.Gorvin and Carlson combined for 99 and the former continued to put up a fight when Carlson was dismissed, reaching his career-best score in the process in a patient knock until he was stranded with not enough of a lead.Needing just 51, Sol Budinger and Rehan Ahmed came out swinging to complete the job inside three days thanks to a bizarre scenario of facing Northeast’s off-spin as he was forced to replace Kellaway after just two legal deliveries for bowling beamers.
Mikel Arteta has been backed in a massive way in the transfer market, and the objective will be to win every competition the team are in.
Undoubtedly, the most exciting signing the Gunners made in the summer was Eberechi Eze, as his creativity and explosiveness could be just what the club needs.
Moreover, it looks like the North Londoners are brewing another version of the Englishman in a sensational, exciting academy gem.
What Eze will bring to Arsenal
There are a few things Eze will bring to Arsenal this season, and the first is his output.
Crystal Palace's EberechiEzeposes with the player of the match trophy
Despite playing for a mid-table side last season, the Greenwich-born game-changer was able to amass an unreal haul of 14 goals and 11 assists in 43 appearances, totalling 3303 minutes.
In other words, he averaged a goal involvement every 1.72 games, or every 132.12 minutes, which should be music to Arteta’s ears considering his side’s goalscoring problems last season.

The next thing the 27-year-old brings to the table is his positional versatility.
While he spent most of last season playing as one of the two tens in Oliver Glasner’s system, he’s also more than comfortable playing out on the left, as we saw on Sunday, and can even play on the right.
Not only will this give Arteta more tactical flexibility, but it means Eze will be able to easily interchange with his teammates during games, making life for opposition defenders even harder.
Finally, the Palace legend will bring excitement to the team. =
The FA Cup-winning maestro can take players on, score from long distance, play quick one-twos and do so many other things that get fans on their feet.
In all, Eze looks to be an incredible signing for Arsenal, and in even more good news, Hale End appears to have spawned another version of him.
Arsenal's new homegrown Eze
Arsenal have a proud history of bringing Hale Enders into the first team; just look at Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast’s In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
However, in this instance, we are talking about a youngster who is perhaps the most talked about prospect the club has ever had: Max Dowman.
Yes, despite being just 15 years old, it feels like practically everyone and their dog has been talking about the teenager in recent weeks and months.
It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, though, as those with a knowledge of youth football have been talking about him for years, with Hale End expert Will Balsam dubbing him the “biggest talent in England” late last year.
With that said, then, what makes him like a young Eze?
For starters, he has already demonstrated a brilliant ability to play in multiple positions, ranging from out on the wing to attacking midfield and even slightly deeper in central midfield.
On top of that, the Chelmsford-born gem is an output machine.

In just 25 appearances for the U18s, totalling 2104 minutes, he scored 20 goals and provided ten assists.
In other words, the superstar in the making averaged 1.2 goal involvements every game, or every 70.13 minutes while playing in an age group well beyond his – and he wasn’t even playing up top.
Finally, as fans who’ve watched him this season and in pre-season will tell you, he has the same ‘entertainer gene’ as the former Palace man.
For example, instead of making a safe pass backwards when on the edge of the opposition’s penalty area, he tends to prefer taking the defender on directly.
It was this that won him a penalty against Newcastle United in Singapore and then at home to Leeds United in the Premier League.
Ultimately, Eze looks like he’s going to be one of Arsenal’s most important players over the coming years, but in Dowman, they could have a generational talent on their hands.
Arsenal hit gold on "world-class" star worth way more than Eze & Zubimendi
Arteta and Arsenal have hit the jackpot with this sensational star.
A sublime century from Jake Lehmann and two key strikes from Brendan Doggett put South Australia in striking distance of an elusive Sheffield Shield trophy, but a fighting half-century from Marnus Labuschagne ensured Queensland still have a glimmer of hope in the final at Karen Rolton Oval.Lehmann smashed 102 from 151 balls on day two, his third century in as many Shield games, sharing in two key lower order stands with Ben Manenti and Nathan McAndrew to push South Australia’s first innings total up to 271 and establish a 176-run lead over Queensland. It also ensured South Australia would win the Shield on bonus points in the event of a draw, but that result seems unlikely with three days to play. Callum Vidler failed to add to the four wickets he took on the first afternoon but Jack Wildermuth finished with 3 for 39.Queensland’s batters produced a better showing second time around. The surface flattened out significantly with Labuschagne, who was caught off a no-ball on 20, making 61 to help keep the visitors alive as they erased the lead by stumps. But Doggett took the key wickets of Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja to leave South Australia with only seven wickets to take as the surface gets better for batting. Khawaja and Angus Lovell started the second innings steadily with a 39-run opening stand which featured some flowing drives from both players as South Australia’s quicks searched for swing and seam that had evaporated from the surface due to two days of sun.Doggett’s extra pace proved the difference again when he came on first change. From over the wicket, he got one to rear from back of a length at Khawaja who was squared up awkwardly as he nicked it to third slip to fall for 21.Labuschagne played fluently but led a charmed life. He survived a tight lbw decision on 11 off McAndrew. Nine runs later he failed to control a hook shot off Doggett, in the same fashion as Khawaja in the first innings, and was brilliantly caught by a diving Liam Scott at fine leg which sparked wild celebrations. But Labuschagne was asked to wait as the third umpire checked for a no-ball and he was able to stay when replays showed no part of Doggett’s foot was behind the line.In between times, Lovell had patiently worked his way to 38 off 80 deliveries having had his forward defence examined repeatedly. Eventually Scott found a way through with one that nipped back off the seam to have Lovell adjudged lbw. Alex Carey could take partial credit for having Lovell trapped on the crease after keeping up to the stumps to the tall seamer.Labuschagne dug in with Jack Clayton and began to profit as South Australia’s seamers offered width repeatedly. He played a series of delightful cut shots and found the rope nine times in all.Marnus Labuschagne late cuts•Getty Images
Doggett stepped up again to give South Australia a lift. He reared a short ball into Labuschagne’s ribs with catching men in the deep on the leg side. Labuschagne tried to roll his wrists on a controlled pull and got a top edge that carried to Jason Sangha who was well-placed 20 metres off the rope at deep backward square. Doggett looked nervous as the third umpire checked his front foot again but this time a fraction of his heel was behind the line.Clayton and Ben McDermott fought hard late in the day to add an unbeaten 33 and put Queensland ahead by one run at stumps, with Clayton finishing 32 not out.Earlier, Lehmann’s century looked to put South Australia within touching distance of the Shield title. Having started the day on 42 not out he cashed in some loose bowling from Queensland in the morning session.
How a drawn final is decided
In the event the Sheffield Shield final ends in a draw, the title will be decided on first-innings bonus points which are accrued across the first 100 overs.
Batting teams earn 0.01 of a bonus point for every run scored over 200 in the initial 100 overs; bowling sides get 0.1 of a bonus point for every wicket in the first 100 overs. For example, the batting side scores 350 all out in 90 overs they earn 1.5 points and the bowling side 1 point.
Should bonus points be tied and the match drawn, SA will win the Shield given they finished top of the ladder and earned hosting rights for the final.
Anything fractionally short and wide was scythed through point with power. Queensland’s bowlers found it impossible to contain Lehmann’s scoring. Any time they got straight he tucked them behind square to rotate the strike. He smoked 15 boundaries to continue his love-affair with Karen Rolton Oval, having scored five of his 14 first-class centuries there at an average of 58.14, including three in his last four innings at the ground.He shared a brilliant 72-run stand with Ben Manenti who finished with 47 off 59 balls with seven fours a six. He looked set for many more until he fell to a stunning catch from Ben McDermott. Manenti smashed a long hop from Mitchell Swepson flat to midwicket but did not elevate it high enough as McDermott leapt up with the right hand at full stretch and plucked it to the amazement of his team-mates and opponents.McAndrew picked up where Manenti left off making an excellent 39 in another valuable 85-run stand which helped Lehmann reach his century.Jack Wildermuth produced two excellent deliveries in the one over to remove McAndrew and Doggett, with both men edging excellent outswingers to first and second slip respectively.McDermott took another outstanding catch, his fourth of the innings, to end Lehmann’s knock on 102 and contain the lead to 176. Lehmann tried to carve Mark Steketee up and over point but got under the stroke too much and McDermott made a difficult catch look very easy running back with the flight from point.
After a short break he will return to Glamorgan ahead of the World Test Championship final against South Africa

Marnus in or out? Finch and Clarke pick their WTC Final XIs
Marnus Labuschagne will rest, then head to English county cricket in a bid to rediscover peak form after his leanest run-scoring summer.Labuschagne will have another stint with Glamorgan before Australia’s World Test Championship final against South Africa in June. In Test cricket in 2024-25, Labuschagne averaged 25.63 – his lowest return since his 2018 Test debut – and didn’t score a century.Related

Sangha and Carey tons hand South Australia first Shield title in 29 years
“It has been a little bit of a whirlwind,” Labuschagne said. “I have played some really good innings here and there, I have just probably not nailed it as much as I would have liked.”Labuschagne captained Queensland in a four-wicket loss to South Australia in the Sheffield Shield final.And the 30-year-old, whose overall Test average has dipped to 46.76, said his dismissals in the final in Adelaide summed up his summer.Marnus Labuschagne takes on the short ball•Getty Images
Labuschagne fell for a leg-side trap for a first-innings duck, caught when flicking to leg gully. In the second, he was well-settled on 61 before being caught at deep square leg from a half-hearted swipe at a short ball.”That dismissal, if I am playing my best I am not making those errors,” he said.In the home Test series against India, Labuschagne played important knocks of 70 and 72 in Melbourne’s Boxing Day Test. But his other scores against the Indians were meagre – 12, 1, 2 and 6. In the two-Test away series in Sri Lanka he made 20, 4 and 26 not out.
Some pundits believe those returns could threaten Labuschagne’s Test spot, given the looming return from injury of Cameron Green, the emergence of SA’s triumphant Shield captain Nathan McSweeney, Josh Inglis’ century on Test debut and the rise of opener Sam Konstas. But Labuschagne said his summer wasn’t all doom and gloom.”There’s a lot to like about how I played and how I went about it,” he said. “But just to get back to my best where I’m scoring hundreds, I am one of those players that just want to continue to grow and learn and keep finding that form.”
It’s fair to say that Thomas Tuchel is still attempting to find the right formula in charge of England. The former Chelsea boss has recalled some old names and introduced some fresh faces, but needs time to get the best out of his options.
His most recent squad once again caused plenty of debate. There were places for Marcus Rashford, Jordan Henderson and Ezri Konsa, but Harry Maguire, Phil Foden and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been forced to watch on from home.
Whilst his decisions have split opinion, there’s no denying that Tuchel is not afraid to make bold decisions – a trait that Gareth Southgate arguably lacked during his time in charge.
The German has already recalled Henderson as well as Rashford and may yet have more returns on the cards. The likes of Fikayo Tomori, for example, were often overlooked by Gareth Southgate despite the fact that he’s played a starring role at AC Milan for some time now. Based on recent decisions, he should be among those at the top of Tuchel’s list to welcome back into the setup.
Every England manager's first game in charge
Thomas Tuchel is the latest manager to make his Three Lions debut.
ByRoss Kilvington Mar 14, 2025
Experience may well be the key to unlocking the silverware that England have been craving and, according to Tuchel, Henderson is a large part of that thinking.
It’s not the first time that the manager has surprised many with his decisions, either. It wasn’t so long ago that one England player was begging Tuchel not to play in a new position.
Tuchel shocked Loftus-Cheek with new position
After joining the likes of Henderson and Rashford to become the latest England recall, Ruben Loftus-Cheek reminisced about the time that Tuchel played him right wing-back.
The Milan midfielder revealed that he refused to play in the role, before the German opted to experiment anyway. The result? A part in four of Chelsea’s six goals against Southampton and a 3-2 victory against Real Madrid. As bizarre as Tuchel’s decision was at the time, it simply worked wonders for the Blues.
Reflecting on his wing-back role earlier this week, Loftus-Cheek said: “I remember when he came into Chelsea and he spoke to me about playing right wing-back. I said ‘no, no, no,no’, but I played there anyway.”
Now back in the England setup, it will be interesting to see whether the Milan midfielder will find himself in an unfamiliar role once more or whether Tuchel allows him to step into the position that he so often thrives in at San Siro.
Tottenham Hotspur are still in the market for new attacking options, and chairman Daniel Levy is under mounting pressure to deliver.
For the second time in this window alone, Spurs suffered major public humiliation this week by missing out on another star number 10, despite being on the verge of completing a deal.
Earlier in the summer, Morgan Gibbs-White was practically seen as a new Tottenham player when news broke of his pending July medical, only for Nottingham Forest to block the £60 million transfer in never-before-seen fashion.
Evangelos Marinakis not only threatened legal action, with Spurs alleged to have obtained information about Gibbs-White’s ‘confidential’ release clause illegally, but also managed to stall the deal long enough to convince the 25-year-old to sign a new contract instead.
In all fairness, this kind of thing in football almost never happens, and scarcely anyone could’ve predicted it.
However, in Eze’s case, the matter was much more simple – Tottenham were hijacked by their arch north London rivals.
Despite agreeing both personal terms and the finances of a deal with Palace, talks were held long enough for Arsenal to swoop in at the last second and convince their boyhood supporter to join Mikel Arteta’s side instead – with Kai Havertz’s injury pushing them into immediate action.
It is a hammer blow for manager Thomas Frank, amid reports the Dane believes that Tottenham need two number 10s after James Maddison’s ACL rupture.
Last month, Spurs were planning to head into 2025/2026 with a fully fit Maddison and Gibbs-White, but Frank has neither at his disposal.
Eze is now also off the table, meaning Levy must make a serious late transfer statement if he is indeed serious about Tottenham eventually challenging for the Champions League and Premier League title.
Tottenham get green-light to hijack Chelsea deal for Alejandro Garnacho
While his natural position isn’t in the number 10 role, Man United forward Alejandro Garnacho can play there when required.
Spurs are also after a wide player to replace club legend Son Heung-min, and the Argentine would tick both boxes as a versatile attacking gem who bagged a brilliant 11 goals and 10 assists in all competitions last term.
Garnacho’s public fallout with Ruben Amorim has landed him on the for-sale list, with Chelsea reliably believed to be in advancing talks for the 21-year-old after also agreeing personal terms.
According to GiveMeSport, the west Londoners are haggling over price, and to avoid being forced to sanction a cut-price sale with no other suitors bidding, United have given the “green light” for Tottenham to move for Garnacho.
The Red Devils want Spurs to come in for him so they can drive Garnacho’s price up and spark a bidding war, and Frank’s side have already had some contact through intermediaries to gauge the conditions of a deal this window.
This could be one to keep an eye on, as the “real deal” attacker, valued at around £50 million, is one of the Premier League’s brightest young stars and may suit Spurs down to the ground.
تحدث لاعب مانشستر يونايتد السابق، جاري نيفيل، عن أداء محمد صلاح في مباراة ليفربول أمام الشياطين الحمر في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.
وبات محمد صلاح محل أحاديث وتحليلات في الصحف الإنجليزية، عقب هزيمة ليفربول أمام مانشستر يونايتد بهدفين لهدف، خاصة بعد قرار المدرب آرني سلوت باستبدال المصري في الدقيقة 85 من اللقاء.
وقال نيفيل في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية: “تُطرح الآن تساؤلات حول محمد صلاح، سواء بسبب عمره، أو ربما لأنه بقي موسمًا إضافيًا أكثر مما ينبغي”.
وأضاف: “لكن الغريب عند مشاهدة صلاح هو أنه عادةً عندما يقترب اللاعب من نهاية مسيرته، تلاحظ أولًا التراجع البدني، وأنا لا أرى ذلك عند صلاح؛ بعض انطلاقاته ما زالت قوية، ويبدو نشيطًا داخل منطقة الجزاء”.

واستطرد: “لكن الأمور الغريبة هي عندما تصل إليه الكرة عند القائم البعيد… طريقة تسديده أو عرضياته هي التي بدت غير معتادة”.
وأشار: “كانت هناك لحظات في المباراة أمام مانشستر يونايتد عند القائم البعيد جعلتني أفكر قائلاً هذا ليس محمد صلاح الذي نعرفه، كانت له تسديدة سحبها بشكل غريب جدًا نحو يسار القائم، وهذا مرتبط فقط بتقنيته في التنفيذ”.
وأتم: “محمد صلاح يمكنه من حيث المبدأ أن يلعب حتى عمر الثانية والخمسين بفضل تقنيته الممتازة، ولهذا السبب تحديدًا ما أراه الآن يدهشني، لأن التراجع الظاهر فنيا أكثر منه تراجع بدني”.
