The wolf wants to keep howling, and it has sharp fangs. Novak Djokovic secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024 after defeating Roman Safiullin 6-3 6-2, who found himself without arguments to face the Serbian, who was tremendously inspired. There were doubts about the level of play and attitude with which Novak Djokovic would present himself at this ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024, but the Serbian has dispelled them all with his first three matches. He knew how to turn things around in his debut in China, shining in the following two games that…
Speaking on ITV ahead of England’s clash on Wednesday against Greece, pundits Roy Keane and Ian Wright both cast an ominous cloud over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future with Liverpool. Alexander-Anrnold earned his 32nd cap for the England national team in a backline alongside John Stones, Levi Colwill, and Rico Lewis. The 26-year-old Liverpool vice-captain is out of a contract this summer as rumors continue to link the influential right-back with a move to Real Madrid. Reports intensified as Madrid’s longtime right-back Dani Carvajal, 32, tore his ACL in his most recent outing against Villarreal. Instead of turning to internal options like…
It doesn’t happen often, but Roy Keane was pretty much left lost for words at England’s defending in their 2-1 defeat to Greece on Thursday. The Three Lions fell to a dismal loss that puts their hopes of promotion back into League A in serious jeopardy, with a Vangelis Pavlidis brace either side of Jude Bellingham’s equaliser giving the Greeks a deserved first-ever win at Wembley. Interim boss Lee Carsley fielded an experimental starting line-up in the absence of injured captain and record goalscorer Harry Kane. Instead of starting either Ollie Watkins or Dominic Solanke, Carlsey instead opted to load…
An early look at the latest injury news for Liverpool and Chelsea ahead of their match post-international break. The Premier League action will take a short break while focus shifts to international duty. A total of 18 Liverpool players have been called up to represent their countries, including summer signing Giorgio Mamardashvili, who will rejoin his Georgia teammates against Ukraine and Albania in the Nations League. The Reds enter the break at the top of the table but competition is heating up and their next opponents will be an in form Chelsea. Enzo Maresca’s side are unbeaten in their last…
Undoubtedly, the biggest success story for Liverpool so far in Arne Slot’s tenure at Anfield has been Ryan Gravenberch. A bit-part player under Jurgen Klopp, everything has changed for the Dutchman since: he is now one of the first names on the teamsheet. For the Reds, though, it won’t have come as a complete surprise. Sky Sports’ Melissa Reddy reported last year that before Gravenberch moved to Bayern Munich, he was on a three-man shortlist of options Liverpool had drawn up as potential midfield “game-changers”. The other two were now-Real Madrid duo Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni. And those lofty…
Jurgen Klopp will be returning to the world of football at the start of 2025 as he prepares to take on the role of Red Bull’s global head of soccer. The German shocked many by accepting this position, particularly after declaring his desire to take a break from the sport only in January of this year and due to his former club’s (Borussia Dortmund) conflicting beliefs with one of Red Bull’s clubs: RB Leipzig. Klopp will be supporting the work of his old Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders, who is currently the coach of RB Salzburg after leaving Anfield at the…
The news from the international break so far could favour a change for Liverpool. Arne Slot has been fixated on consistent team selections at the start of his Liverpool career but one position may change after the international break. After using a very similar starting XI across all of their games so far, Slot has been very faithful to the performing players so far. It has helped to build a certain level of consistency and rhythm has resulted in their strong start – that could soon change for two reasons. The first being the news that Alexis Mac Allister is…
It’s been a summer of change at Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp stepped down as manager at the end of the 2023-24 campaign. The German’s contract ran until the end of the 2025-26 campaign, but he decided to part ways with the Reds two years in advance, citing fatigue as one of the main reasons behind his decision. Liverpool named Arne Slot as his successor and also made wholesale changes to their hierarchy as Micheal Edwards returned as FSG’s Director of Football, while Richard Hughes was appointed as the club’s Sporting Director. While Klopp initially signaled his desire to take a…
Former record Liverpool signing has opened up about “falling apart” after leaving Anfield for West Ham. The striker today plays for Bordeaux, who are in the fourth tier of French football after losing their professional status. Carroll became Liverpool’s then-most-expensive signing in the club’s history during January 2011, when the Reds forked out £35million for his transfer from Newcastle United. It was also the window that saw Luis Suarez arrive from Ajax. While the Uruguayan flourished, life on Merseyside did not go as well for Carroll. The attacker lifted the 2012 League Cup at Liverpool but managed just 11 goals…
Wayne Rooney has namedropped Liverpool as the Premier League team which has impressed him most during the current season. The Reds currently sit top of the standings after seven games, having won six of their fixtures so far, while they have adapted well to life under new manager Arne Slot. Some observers predicted Liverpool to struggle, following the exit of Jurgen Klopp, although the first-team squad have showcased their ability to seamlessly take to Slot’s style of play. As a result, the team look set to be involved in another title race with Arsenal and Manchester City and will fancy…
