Ujiri’s comments on Mavericks coach search will horrify Florida and Michigan basketball administrators

When asked about the search for a replacement for Jason Kidd, new Dallas Mavericks team president Masai Ujiri made a comment that should scare Florida and Michigan basketball executives.

Before the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers squared off in a wild Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals inside Madison Square Garden, the Mavericks shocked the basketball world when reports surfaced that they had fired their head coach after five seasons.

While the 53-year-old has suffered consecutive losing seasons, he was blindsided by the Luka Doncic trade two years ago and has had to deal with major injuries to his top veterans over the past two seasons. Additionally, Kidd signed a new multi-year extension that will pay him $40 million over the next four years after leading Dallas to the NBA Finals two years ago.

However, according to a report from NBA insider Marc Stein, Ujiri wanted a “clean slate” after taking over the top executive position a few weeks ago.

Now, speculation has emerged about who new team president and general manager, Mike Schmitz, will be their next head coach. On Wednesday, Ujiri gave an interesting answer to that question when asked by a member of the Dallas media.

“It’s an open search … we have a very open mind,” Ujiri said. “We’re going to look everywhere. Try everything possible, and we’ll really see what’s best for this organization. First-time, veteran, college, European, everywhere. Whatever is best for this organization going forward.”

Could the Mavericks target Dusty Mays or Todd Golden?

The assumption may be that Ujiri would prefer an experienced NBA head coach or top assistant in the league. However, he’s apparently open to all options, and that could include Florida’s Todd Golden and Michigan’s Dusty May.

Is there a possibility of going to the NBA? No, but it should not be dismissed. Especially when both have national championships in their resumes. What else is left to prove?

Dallas will do well with Ujiri in charge. Which means stability. The Mavericks also boast the future face of the NBA in Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg. If May and Golden had to leave cushy jobs in college, they would both be attractive to them.

Both are well paid in their current jobs. Will Dallas match that number? Perhaps. Firing Kidd with so much money remaining on his contract shows that Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont isn’t afraid to spend big to make the changes he wants at Ujiri. If they feel May or Golden are the right options, Dumont will likely spend big money again to land them.

While Mays or Golden are unlikely to leave for the Mavericks, Ujiri’s comments should give Michigan and Florida fans a little concern until the new college basketball preseason begins.

Capitals re-sign Timothy Liljegren to a two-year deal

The Washington Capitals have re-signed defenseman Timothy Liljegren to a two-year, $6.5 million contract extension. Liljegren’s deal has an average annual value of $3.25 million.

The Capitals acquired Liljegren from the San Jose Sharks at the 2026 NHL trade deadline in March. The 27-year-old blueliner finished the season with 11 points (1 goal, 10 assists) in 47 games for both teams.

Liljegren was brought in by the Capitals to fill the void left by John Carlson. He played in only four games for Washington, recording seven blocks, two hits and three takeaways while averaging 16 minutes a night.

With the new extension in place, the Capitals will likely give Liljegren a bigger opportunity next season. This especially comes as Rasmus Sandin is out for a long time at the end of the 2025-26 season after tearing his ACL.

Liljegren’s acquisition and Carlson’s departure led to several changes at D-Corps. Sandin switched primarily to the right side and played a top-4 role.

The Capitals still have to address their right side with Liljegren’s return. After Liljegren and Matt Roy, the only other right-handed defensemen on the team are Trevor van Riemsdyk and Dylan McIlrath. However, it is very possible that van Riemsdyk, being an unrestricted free agent, could be traded.

Patriots may face tough competition

AJ Brown trade rumors have begun to circulate again as speculation increases regarding his long-term future. Although nothing has been confirmed, discussion about a potential move is starting to gain more attention as June approaches, with the New England Patriots being the most likely landing spot.

However, as the situation evolves, multiple teams could begin to show interest, creating the possibility of a competitive trade market if Brown were ever made available.

Why are AJ Brown trade rumors gaining attention?

NFL: NFC Wild Card Round-San Francisco 49ers at Philadelphia Eagles
Visualize images via Reuters Connect

Brown’s tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles appears to be coming to an end. The 28-year-old superstar desires to play elsewhere, with New England the most likely option to land him. Despite Brown being under contract, the Eagles loaded up on wide receivers during the 2026 NFL offseason.

However, this is all procedural. Philadelphia has an incentive to wait until June to trade Brown for financial reasons. With less than two weeks left until the calendar turns to June, Browns trade rumors are heating up again. Despite rumours, it all points towards the same team unless there is a shocking turn of events.

Why are there New England Patriots? Involved with AJ Brown

The Browns want to play for the Patriots and the feeling is mutual. New England needs an elite wide receiver, and would give 28-year-old superstar Drake Mays their WR1. During the offseason, the Patriots released Stefon Diggs and signed Romeo Doubs; However, neither of them are true top wide receivers.

Enter Brown. Despite injury concerns with his knee, the Eagles receiver is one of the NFL’s best at his position. New England has struggled to produce in the 2026 NFL playoffs, so the offense will need a boost. However, this is still far from guaranteed, as other organizations may enter the mix.

Why might competition enter the mix?

NFL: Philadelphia Eagles at Kansas City Chiefs

While the Patriots are the favorites to acquire Brown, the team may face some stiff competition. The Kansas City Chiefs may consider trading for Brown as Rashee Rice deals with his ongoing legal situation. Rice’s long-term future in Kansas City is up for debate, and Brown would be a perfect fit for Patrick Mahomes.

Xavier Worthy will be the projected WR1 without Rice, and although he has the potential, the on-field production has not yet been proven. Brown will look to elevate the Chiefs’ offense into elite play following a difficult 2025-26 NFL season. The Patriots may be the leader, but don’t count out Kansas City and any other contending organization.

What does it take to acquire AJ Brown?

There has been widespread speculation over the Browns’ trade package for months. The Patriots would likely have to include a 2028 first-round pick and another asset to acquire the Eagles’ star wide receiver. That could be wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, who appears to be on the move soon if the Browns commit to the Patriots.

If not Boutte, New England could include a third- or fourth-round draft pick along with a 2028 first-rounder. Unless a team like Kansas City makes a move, Philadelphia shouldn’t get much more. The possibility of another suitor remains open, so the Patriots may have to raise their offer to get the deal done.

Major Obstacles in Any Business Scenario

USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect

There are some obstacles to a Browns trade from Philadelphia. The 28-year-old supersetter will be landing at one of her favorite destinations. Brown has become a distraction at points in Philadelphia and going to any team probably won’t be enough. This familiarity with head coach Mike Vrabel makes the Patriots trade even better.

However, the biggest hurdle is financial. The Eagles won’t lose much if they trade Brown after June 1. If not, a deal is likely to be made at this point. Luckily for the Patriots, the two biggest obstacles to a Brown trade should be cleared by June 1, 2026.

what could happen next

More likely, the Eagles are going to trade Brown after June 1. The Patriots are the top contenders, but a team like the Chiefs could swoop in at the last minute. Everyone involved has waited many months for the trade to be completed, but it looks like this situation is nearing a conclusion.

The Eagles don’t want to trade Brown immediately, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see this fall in July. However, New England is believed to be the landing spot, and if everyone is operating under the same assumption, it would be best to make the Browns a Patriot in the early summer.

Los Angeles Rams ‘punished’ with 2026 NFL schedule

The 2026 NFL schedule was revealed last Thursday. Now that analysts have had a week to review the 18-week schedule, which includes a record number of nine international games, some believe the Los Angeles Rams got the beat early.

This has become a common talking point as fans have had a chance to digest the team’s schedule revelations on social media. It turns out, this isn’t just another Los Angeles conspiracy theory, this idea has spread among NFL insiders as well.

comes from the latest Sports IllustratedThe Wednesday edition of Albert Breuer’s weekly mailbag which answers questions submitted by readers. One question asked, “Does it feel like some teams are penalized for being popular when the schedule is made?”

Breyer’s response: “Sure, Joey. Look at the Chiefs’ schedule in 2024 and ’25 and the Rams’ schedule in 2026.”

Breyer referenced a column by his SI colleague Connor Orr, who previously wrote that the Rams “screwed up” with their 2026 slate.

“This schedule is absurd. Seven prime-time games. A season opener in Melbourne, Australia. One of the worst net rest differentials in the NFL. Four 2025 playoff teams in the first five weeks. Thanksgiving Eve. Christmas in prime time against the Seahawks. Two Seahawks games in three weeks to end the season. This, for a team with a 38-year-old starting quarterback that got through training camp last year without a space-age fitness trailer.” This is how the NFL inadvertently beat the Chiefs last year and it appears to be attempting to do so again with the Rams. That’s why Sean McVay cautioned ESPN to hold their horses when talking about the Seattle games at the end of the season because it’s unlikely the Rams will get there unscathed, but it’s disappointing to see the league’s premier offense completely sidelined by those factors. “Completely under the control of the league.”

SI’s Connor Orr on the Rams’ schedule

Obviously, the league tries to put the NFL’s best teams in primetime slots. The Rams are expected to be a Super Bowl contender, so seven primetime games should be no surprise.

Other obstacles, such as playing in Australia or being the two-time defending Super Bowl champions in the final weeks of the season, are also a result of the team’s popularity and overall expectations, where the league tries to save important divisional matchups for late in the season when it seems at every moment that playoff status is on the line.

Ultimately, if teams like the Rams can overcome a tough challenge, it means they are truly one of the best teams in the NFL. But this won’t be proven until the playoffs arrive. First things first, the Rams have to get there, and it won’t be easy.

3 goalie coaches the Devils could pursue

It appears Sunny Mehta has gone through his process of identifying the New Jersey Devils’ weaknesses, and he has broken up with the dead weight.

Thus, Devils GM fired Dave Rogalski on Tuesday and is rehiring Sergei Brylin within the organization. He will not be in a coaching capacity.

Sheldon Keefe will remain as head coach of the Devils, and Keefe hired Brad Shaw and Jeremy Colliton to remain as his assistants.

However, the Devils need to replace Braylin behind the bench and hire Rogalski – widely known as the Martin Brodeur hire – as a goaltending coach.

The search to replace both is currently ongoing. Starting at the goaltending coach position, who could Mehta and Keefe pursue for the position?

Leo Luongo-Florida Panthers/Charlotte Checkers

Well, now that Mehta is in charge and Braden Birch as his right-hand man, why not go back to the Florida well that has worked so far?

Leo Luongo, younger brother of Hall-of-Fame goaltender Roberto Luongo, has played two NHL roles with the Florida Panthers. He was previously their goaltending development coach in 2020-21 – where he helped Sergei Bobrovsky have a strong year and helped Chris Dreigger turn in a stellar performance. He then graduated to Director of Player Development, and is now Director of Goaltending for Florida’s AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers.

Luongo is a member of a first-of-its-kind goaltending excellence department in Florida that has helped develop netminders such as Dreigger, Joey Daccord and Spencer Knight.

Part of Luongo’s responsibility as Director of Goaltending is to streamline the structure between Florida and Charlotte so that NHL and AHL goaltenders can receive similar development and mentorship.

In fact, he has been a key part of Florida’s organization that has helped Luongo and Florida win two Stanley Cups.

This would certainly bode well for NHL goaltenders and developing netminders like Mikhail Yegorov and Jakub Malek.

Luongo could also help develop his own goaltending excellence department in New Jersey and ultimately end the revolving door of weak goaltenders in the Devils organization.

Hannu Toivonen-Toronto Marlies

If we’re looking for a goaltending coach to match Keefe, look no further than Hannu Toivonen, who overlapped with Keefe for three seasons in the Toronto organization.

Former pro goaltender turned goalie coach Toivonen has been labeled the Toronto Marlies goaltending guru after helping bring Ilya Samsonov back to NHL standard and successfully develop Dennis Hildeby early in his career.

With Samsonov in particular, Toivunen’s task was to get him back on track as a goaltender after taking a leave of absence for a “physical and mental reset”.

Toivonen’s role in Samsonov’s resurgence when he returned on January 14 after a 10-day reset was instrumental in his return to the Maple Leafs on the tail end of the 2023–2024 season. Samsonov posted a well below average .862 SV$ and 3.94 GAA in his first 15 games. He was assigned to the AHL Marlies to work on himself, and Samsonov received dedicated one-on-one mentoring from Toivonen.

Through focused sessions on the ice and support from the team’s development and performance staff, Toivonen helped Samsonov rebuild his confidence, refine his technique, and restore his mental intensity. The results were shocking. Upon his return, Samsonov delivered a much-improved .904 SV% and 2.70 GAA over his final 25 games, demonstrating the profound impact of Toivonen’s guidance in helping the Russian netminder regain his form and stabilize the Maple Leafs’ crease.

Now, it appears Toivonen is grooming another young goaltender in Toronto, named Artur Akhtyamov, who finished his first season as the starting goaltender for the Marlies with a 2.88 GAA and .904 SV% in 37 games. Akhtiyamov carried his strong regular season performance into the postseason where he has posted a 2.25 GAA and .916 SV% in eight games so far.

A source told New Jersey Hockey Now that Toivonen is “deserving of a promotion” and would be an excellent choice to take over the Devils’ vacant position.

Curtis Sanford-Toronto Maple Leafs

It seems more like the Devils could take Toivonen from Toronto rather than displace Curtis Sanford, who is already the goaltending coach in Toronto.

However, the Maple Leafs are going through changes of their own, and the arrival of a new head coach does not guarantee Sanford will remain in his position.

Sanford is a former NHL goaltender turned coach who has spent his coaching career in the Maple Leafs, Utica Comets and Abbotsford Canucks organizations.

In Toronto, Craig Berube inherited Sanford, who was hired by Keefe as goaltending coach in 2022–23.

Their most recent results don’t jump off the page in terms of their goaltenders’ performance. However, this is a result of the team’s poor performance overall.

In recent seasons, Sanford has put up some solid numbers from goaltenders such as Martin Jones, Joseph Woll, and Anthony Stolarz.

Depending on his luck in Toronto, Sanford’s familiarity with Keefe could attract him to New Jersey as the 46-year-old goalie coach looks to continue his career in the NHL.

塞繆爾·巴薩羅如何為金鶯隊整合一切

巴薩洛之前在加載時常常會深深地陷進他的後臀部,早期的大跨步有時會導致雙離合器,既打亂了他的時機,又導致他過早地推出到他的前側。比較下面的影片可以清楚地看出,他的頭部在 2025 年揮桿時與 2026 年相比移動了多少。

「我在過去的休賽期開始努力,真正努力控制自己的身體,而不是試圖在揮桿中進行盡可能多的運動,因此試圖簡化事情,」巴薩洛解釋道。 “它讓我更加直立,防止我在球上跳得太多。它讓我能夠將體重保持得更久一些。”

巴薩洛揮桿的一切都更加緊密,包括他簡化的手部負荷,這有助於他的上半身和下半身同步運作。結果不僅是更強大的力量,而且是一條能夠扭轉上半部局面的更有效途徑。

儘管樣本確實很小,但本賽季的擊球數僅增加了 18%(截至 5 月 18 日),但巴薩洛在上半區的球場上擊球總數為 19 到 130 次,而 2025 年的 109 次擊球中只有 7 次,巴薩洛的斜線從 0.130/175/1575 /全壘打.311/.344/.639,有五支全壘打。

鎖定巴薩洛腳踩地和準備轉動木桶的特定時刻,有助於我們了解如何在高價產品上做出如此巨大的轉變,以及為什麼小樣本量仍然具有分量。

在兩個影片中,巴薩洛的腳同時擊球,但在新的揮桿動作中,槍管提前一瞬間發射。巴薩洛在桶形轉彎之前的身體向前洩漏,既使他很難在該區域上半部分的投球上保持平面,也會導致桶形進一步拖到他的身體後面並變平。

根據《Baseball Savant》報告,雖然看起來可能不是很多,但巴薩洛的平均攻擊角度從 10 度上升到 12 度,而他的平均攻擊方向也從向拉側的 2 度轉變為 5 度。這兩種轉變都與擊球手追求的改進的 VBA 或「垂直擊球角度」相關,以最大限度地提高擊球品質。

巴薩洛的滾滾球命中率比他第一次在美國職棒大聯盟(MLB)效力時降低了11%,更令人印象深刻的是,到2026年為止,他的滾滾滾滾命中率為38%,這將是他職業生涯中任何一站的最低數字。

7 NFL players who could be traded in June

The NFL calendar continues to move toward June, when we’ll see all teams in action. Players reporting and participating in mandatory minicamp will make headlines based on who is there and who isn’t. There is always a possibility of further injury.

Dissatisfying relationships and ailing ligaments could inspire more trade and free agency activity. Not to mention the all-important June 1st, which could bring a flurry of activity on the markets for two high-profile wide receivers. Add it all up, and we’ve created a list of seven NFL players who could be traded in June.

When the Bears traded a fifth-round pick for Garrett Bradbury, it was because their 27-year-old Pro Bowl center Drew Dallman had retired three days earlier. Circumstances have changed since the Bears selected Iowa’s Logan Jones in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft in April. Now, if Jones looks ready to start, the Bears could look to recoup his draft compensation or something close to it.

If the 49ers trade or cut former All-Pro Brandon Aiyuk to another team before June 1, they will incur a dead cap charge of $29.5 million with a savings of only $14.9 million. They have been incredibly stubborn so far, indicating that they will not bite him and get nothing in return except a larger bill. Meanwhile, more flexibility is available after June 1, where the 49ers will only face an $8.3 million dead cap penalty, saving $6.3 million. The Commanders have been the most popular landing spot, as he would be able to reunite with his former college QB Jayden Daniels.

It doesn’t seem like the Colts are planning on trading former No. 4 pick Anthony Richardson in the near future. However, an injury to a starter or even a top backup could prompt a strong trade offer. Or perhaps the Colts are starting to really like what they see in 23-year-old Riley Leonard, enough to move over as the backup to Richardson.

Kayvon Thibodeaux

The Giants are almost at an embarrassment of riches at the pass-rusher position. About. While former first-round pick Kayvon Thibodeaux will certainly have an important role as the third/situational edge player behind Brian Burns and Abdul Carter, he is also entering the final year of his contract. The Giants may be able to generate a good trade return while doing the 25-year-old a favor by finding him a starting opportunity elsewhere.

The Saints really don’t need Alvin Kamara anymore. He certainly won’t play nearly the same role he did before signing a four-year, $48 million contract with Travis Etienne. The players’ skills essentially match each other, meaning Kamara will have more luck in the same role he is used to in a different environment.

The Cardinals have come into voluntary OTAs, but one of their best players, Josh Sweat, is not in attendance. He is not hurt. According to team insider Kyle Odegaard, Sweat is not “happy” with the team. But no one has revealed why this is so. Ranking 21st in contract value among edge rushers is likely part of the reason, especially after recording a career-high four forced fumbles and 12 sacks.

The NFL’s best-kept secret is that the Eagles are planning to trade Pro Bowl receiver AJ Brown. In fact, at this point it is “somewhat understood”. Most expect Brown to stay in New England with his former head coach Mike Vrabel, but that can’t be certain.

NASCAR’s silly 2027 season could go awry fast

As of mid-May 2026, the road to NASCAR’s 2027 Silly Season is oddly quiet but already feels unusually crowded. There are over 20 Cup Series drivers going into contract years, and that alone is enough to get rumors flying long before anything is officially finalized.

Add in some volatile veteran situations, some fast-rising young drivers and ongoing charter pressure in the paddock, and we’ve got the early signs of a market that could change rapidly after the first dominoes fall. But in reality things are moving surprisingly slowly.

Kyle Busch remains the dominant domino in the field

At the center of it all is Kyle Busch and his situation with Richard Childress Racing. For months, there was real noise about a possible split. That chatter still hasn’t completely disappeared, but the atmosphere around the garage has changed. Industry reports indicate that despite the disappointing win, Kyle Busch should extend his contract to remain at RCR. Both sides have realized that there are few, if any, better options.

Still, nothing stays simple for long in NASCAR. If talks fail, Spire Motorsports continues to loom as the most logical alternative landing spot.

That scenario will rapidly ripple outward. One name often mentioned in that conversation was Daniel Suarez, who suddenly found himself under more pressure depending on performance.

And then there’s Jesse Love, a driver many see as already waiting for his Cup opportunity. If a seat opens up in RCR, he joins that conversation.

Bowman’s future at Hendricks unclear

Alex Bowman at Hendrick Motorsports is another position to watch. Nothing is changing officially yet, but the pressure is on. Bowman is approaching the end of his current deal through 2026, and Hendricks’ pipeline continues to get stronger year over year.

Names like Connor Zylisch and Corey Day are no longer just “future prospects” in the abstract, but they are actually real internal options.

So No. 48 looks like a seat that could become one of the most competitive seats in the garage.

Legacy, 23XI, and a growing youth movement

Momentum is building elsewhere too. Legacy Motor Club is preparing to expand to 3 full-time cars in 2027, and this opens up a huge opportunity.

Right now, Riley Herbst looks like the leading candidate for that seat, helped by his reforms and strong financial backing.

If that move happens, it could open up another series reaction at 23XI Racing, where Corey Heim is seen ready for a full-time Cup role.

However, Hem’s name keeps coming up again and again for a reason. He is considered one of Toyota’s most promising young drivers, and 2027 could finally be the moment he gets his chance.

RFK Racing and Charter Pressure Point

Then there’s RFK Racing, where the situation is more structural than driver-centric.

The team, co-owned by Brad Keselowski, is currently operating with two guaranteed charters. The third entry involving Ryan Preece was previously linked to a lease arrangement with Rick Ware Racing, but that charter has now reportedly been sold to Legacy for 2027.

This leaves RFK in a tricky position. Without another acquisition, they risk running a non-chartered car, which impacts everything from revenue to race access stability.

Depending on how things turn out, it could ultimately affect the futures of Keselowski, Chris Buescher and Preece.

Some teams have already locked their core

NASCAR: NASCAR All-Star Race

Not every story is about uncertainty. Ryan Blaney has secured a long-term deal with Team Penske after signing an extension a few weeks ago.

Denny Hamlin will remain with Joe Gibbs Racing until 2027.

William Byron is committed to Hendrick through 2029, and Tyler Reddick has also made a long-term commitment to 23XI Racing.

Right now, it’s quiet. Almost deceptively so. But that’s usually how these things start. A contract decision, a charter move, an underperforming season, and suddenly the entire 2027 driver market may not look so stable anymore.

Has Islam Makhachev’s UFC return date and opponent been confirmed yet?

Islam Makhachev’s long-awaited UFC return has just been confirmed, and it was by his potential opponent.

Fight fans haven’t seen the Russian compete at UFC 322 since November. That night, the renowned lightweight champion moved up in weight to take on welterweight titlist Jack Della Maddalena. He dominated just like he did at 155 pounds and joined the exclusive club of fighters who have won UFC titles in two divisions.

Since then, there has been speculation as to who he would face in his first defense. Stars like Kamaru Usman, Ian Machado Gary and Michael Morales have been linked to a fight with Makhachev. Still, nothing concrete like the actual date has come to light. Well, that changed on Wednesday.

Michael Morales confirms title fight against Islam Makhachev in August?

“I always make my own luck and that’s why I will be the next champion ✍🏽 15-08-26,” Morales wrote in a new post on his Instagram account. From the caption accompanying a photo of him shaking hands with UFC CEO Dana White, it appears he has signed a contract for the fight to take place on August 15.

This is the tentative date for UFC 330 at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, PA. No fights have been announced on the card yet, but it would be a good headliner for the event.

The Ecuadorian will be a worthy challenger for the new champion. His record in the UFC is 19-0 (7-0) and he scored a first-round knockout victory over Sean Brady on the same card on which Makhachev won the welterweight title.

Danhausen reveals real reason why he cursed Cavaliers before Game 1 vs. Knicks

It seems Danhausen’s Cleveland Cavaliers bashing before the Eastern Conference Finals was no fluke for television.

The Cavaliers were on the wrong side of history Tuesday night. They entered their Eastern Conference Finals series against the New York Knicks as huge underdogs on the road. However, they surprised many by taking a two-point lead at halftime, then increasing it to 22 with just eight minutes remaining in the game. Then Jalen Brunson and his teammates caught fire.

The All-Stars led a spectacular rally, with both teams tied at the end of regulation time. The Knicks superstar and his teammates kept it going in overtime and somehow pulled off an incredible Game 1 victory despite a huge deficit in the fourth quarter.

Cavaliers fans were heartbroken by the shocking loss and were trying to figure out how their team blew such a huge lead late. However, many NBA fans pointed to one person: WWE star Danhausen. The “Too Good, Too Bad” star actually cursed out Cleveland during an appearance on Tuesday nba today.

“I have a special mission I’ve been sent on, and that’s for the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight. Tell them they’re damned,” he said.

The moment seemed quite random. However, in an ex post after the game, Danhausen revealed the real reason for doing so. When a fan asked, “Why would you curse the Cavs?” The WWE star responded, “Have you ever heard of this guy, The Miz?”

In that case, the Curse of Danhausen makes all the sense in the world. The Miz is a native of Cleveland and a fan of his hometown teams. And Danhausen currently has an ongoing rivalry with the WWE great and has cursed Miz and his tag partner Kit Wilson. He teamed with Mini-Hazen and scored a victory over the pair at Backlash earlier this month.

Aaron Rodgers reveals retirement date from NFL

Aaron Rodgers has signed up to play his 22nd season in the NFL, after agreeing to return for another year with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The future Hall of Fame quarterback will be 42 years old when the season starts, and on December 2 he will turn 43.

Still, before committing to the Steelers last week, some doubt had grown about whether Rodgers would be suitable for another season. It turns out this was a much more classic discussion of an all-time great fading into the final stages of his career than his Packers predecessor Brett Favre did.

Rodgers returns to the Steelers team he helped lead to the playoffs last season. This time, now in Green Bay, he is looking to take the Steelers even further by teaming up with his old head coach Mike McCarthy and Rodgers.

But don’t expect the same kind of gimmicks next offseason. Rodgers now claims he knows when his football career will end.

Speaking on Wednesday, Rodgers acknowledged that he will retire at the end of the 2026 NFL season.

A four-time NFL MVP winner and former Super Bowl champion, Rodgers has already built the type of resume that will earn him a bronze medal in Canton. However he clearly has the competitive drive to see if he is able to double his Super Bowl ring total, this time, accomplishing the feat with the same head coach, but on a different team.

MJF responds to Mick Foley-AEW rumors in classic MJF fashion

MJF was asked about the possibility of Mick Foley appearing in AEW before Double or Nothing and he responded completely in character while doing nothing to quash the speculation.

Speaking with SNY, MJF called Foley fat and ugly before comparing him to his upcoming opponent, and said that Foley was the blueprint for who Darby Allin is today – which he said made him dislike Foley even more.

When MJF was asked what he thought about the Foley-AEW speculation, he responded, “I think Mick Foley is fat and he’s ugly.” “I think he was the blueprint for who Darby Allin is now, which makes me hate him even more. That’s what I think about Mick Foley.”

MJF will face Allin in the main event of Double or Nothing this Sunday at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens. This is a Hair vs. Title match, with MJF agreeing to put his hair on the line in exchange for a rematch against Allin for the AEW World Championship.

Takedown on SI reported last week that AEW has expressed “genuine” interest in working with Foley, with Double or Nothing potentially serving as a landing spot, given that the event takes place near where Foley grew up on Long Island. Whether any appearance will be a one-time deal or the beginning of a longer arrangement has not been determined.

Foley and MJF have a history of mutual interest in working together. When Foley was considering coming out of retirement for one final match, Dave Meltzer revealed that MJF was the opponent he had in mind. That plan was shelved in 2024 after Foley suffered an injury during training. Any AEW involvement will likely involve limited or no physicality in the ring.

Foley’s WWE Legends deal is set to expire in June. He announced plans to let it go after taking issue with WWE’s relationship with the current administration. WWE Legends contracts restrict royalties, merchandising and use of likeness but do not completely prevent outside appearances – Rob Van Dam previously worked AEW matches under a similar deal. Foley has made recent appearances for OVW and GCW before any formal free agency.

Auston Matthews trade to Minnesota Wild? Why is the blockbuster idea gaining popularity?

Auston Matthews and his future with the Toronto Maple Leafs are uncertain. After a difficult year in Toronto, the organization hired a new general manager and fired head coach Craig Berube. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are the hope for the Maple Leafs, and Matthews will have to step up to impress to stay afloat.

However, what about the possibility of Matthews being traded to the Minnesota Wild? The blockbuster business idea has gained some popularity on social media in recent weeks.

Why the Auston Matthews-to-Minnesota trade discussion is suddenly surfacing

Matthews wants to see what Toronto does during the 2026 NHL offseason before committing to another year. If the 28-year-old superstar isn’t happy with the Maple Leafs, he could request a trade to another organization. Wild figures to be one of the most attractive options for Matthews.

Minnesota is looking to acquire an elite center, and Matthews would be a perfect fit. Matthews played with Quinn Hughes, Matt Boldy and Brock Faber at the Winter Olympics, so he will be reunited with his teammates with the Wild. Minnesota is one of several teams that may be interested in Matthews, but why would he consider a blockbuster trade?

Why the Minnesota Wild would even consider a blockbuster move

The Wild just need to improve their roster. After acquiring Hughes, the organization made the second round of the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs before being eliminated by the Colorado Avalanche. Minnesota clearly needs an elite center, and Matthews would be a great pick-up.

Matthews already has chemistry with Hughes, Boldy and Faber, so it won’t be a long adjustment period. The Wild know that another trade for an elite player would put them on Colorado’s level. Whether it’s Matthews or a different NHL star, a trade appears to be on the horizon.

How Auston Matthews will change the Minnesota Wild’s offense

Matthews would solve Minnesota’s issues at the center position. The Maple Leafs star’s elite goalscoring will give the Wild one of the league’s best 1-2 punches, with Kirill Kaprizov under long-term contract. These two stars, combined with Hughes and Faber, will fix Minnesota’s power play and make it arguably the best unit in the NHL.

The Wild will be able to control the offensive pace with Matthews and Hughes. It also allows other centers to thrive in smaller roles, giving Minnesota more depth. A trade for Matthews would give the Wild an effective five-on-five attack that will be a threat every night.

What needs to happen to land Auston Matthews in the jungle?S

The Wild would absolutely need to trade for Matthews. If the 28-year-old superstar requests a trade, there will be multiple teams bidding for his services. The only way for the Wild to acquire Matthews on a waiver is for him to tell Toronto he wants “Minnesota, and only Minnesota”.

It could happen, but Minnesota can’t count on it. The organization would have to send elite prospects and multiple first-round draft picks to start the conversation. Jonas Brodin and Jesper Wallstad would be a good starting point, but depending on the market, the Maple Leafs could demand more.

Major obstacles coming in the way of Matthews business

NHL: Anaheim Ducks, Auston Matthews to Toronto Maple Leafs

The biggest hurdle is Matthews’ absolute no-movement clause. If the Toronto star requests a trade he will essentially be able to choose his next destination. Therefore, if there is another team that Matthews has as his preferred destination, Minnesota may be out of luck.

Matthews has a cap hit of $13.25 million, so the Wild will have to figure out how to work it within their payroll. This could limit the team around Matthews, Hughes and other stars. However, it all comes back to Matthews and his desires. If Minnesota isn’t his top landing spot, it could be difficult to make a deal.

What could happen next in the Auston Matthews trade rumors?

For now, Matthews is looking forward to seeing what Toronto can do to build a Stanley Cup playoff contender this offseason. If the Maple Leafs convince him of their long-term plan, it could put the trade rumors to rest, at least for a while. Another bad season could push Matthews to the breaking point where he wants to win a Stanley Cup outside of Toronto.

The next step will be to keep an eye on Toronto’s moves. Will this be enough to convince Matthews to return for a second season? If so, the idea could be pursued next offseason or revisited during the 2026–27 NHL season. Minnesota wants to establish an elite center, and if Matthews is available, it should make every effort to make it happen.

利物浦的安迪·罗伯逊现在有了新的目的地,而不是托特纳姆热刺

费内巴切已准备好在安迪·罗伯逊离开后签下他 利物浦 夏季转会窗口,有可能击败热刺。

费纳·阿扬斯报道信息 今天由记者 Yağız Sabuncuolu 报道。他表示费内巴切已经为这位 32 岁的球员准备好了一份交易。

费内巴切同意交易

据土耳其记者报道,费内巴切现已与利物浦后卫达成协议。他将与超级联赛俱乐部签订一份为期两年、价值 300 万欧元的合同。

该协议现已准备就绪,等待签署。但这将取决于谁赢得即将举行的俱乐部主席选举。

萨本库奥卢表示,如果“两位总统候选人都同意”今年夏天的转会,这笔交易就可以完成。

费内巴切将在定于 6 月 6 日至 7 日举行的特别选举大会上投票th。这意味着安迪·罗伯逊的任何转会都可能被推迟到那时。但土耳其方面仍然准备好了这笔交易。

这位苏格兰后卫将在安菲尔德度过他在安菲尔德的时光,并于今年夏天结束。合同结束后离开利物浦的决定已经宣布。

托特纳姆热刺的兴趣

他在一月份的转会窗口即将离开,当时托特纳姆热刺队对他很感兴趣。然而,当时未能达成协议。相反,他留在安菲尔德履行合同并在夏天离开。

托特纳姆热刺队的第二次努力已经被讨论,特别是如果他们本赛季留在英超联赛的话。这将在本赛季的最后一天决定。

但由于与默西塞德红军有着如此紧密的联系,也许他想要一次不同的冒险。 费内巴切似乎已经准备好将其提供给他。

他们只需要等待总统选举结束,或者等待他们的候选人达成一致,然后就可以推动协议的达成。

The Habs are the most hated Canadian team in the United States

The Montreal Canadiens have managed to instantly transform a last-place team into a club ready to battle the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals.

As a result, many other franchises are beginning to look to Montreal as a model worth emulating. Toronto Maple Leafs president Keith Pelley admitted that he underestimated the Canadiens, and was one of the driving forces behind Toronto’s decision to fire their general manager and head coach.

However, not every organization is a fan of what’s happening in Montreal.

According to Rotowire, the Canadiens are the most hated team in the United States, with several northeastern states leading the way.

Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire are the states that Canadians hate the most, although there’s a good chance that some other states rank second or third.

Such is life when your fan base is much larger than everyone else’s.

nhl results

The Vegas Golden Knights were the most hated team in the NHL, with 11 states within their jurisdiction. The Colorado Avalanche finished second with eight states, while the Pittsburgh Penguins joined the Habs in third place with five states.

To be completely honest, the methodology is a bit strange. Rotowire didn’t ask real fans about their most hated rival. Instead, they based results on the most popular team in the area, proximity to other teams, and a few other factors.

The states Canadians list as ‘hating’ are Boston Bruins strongholds.

We first identified the dominant fan base in each state based on market proximity, broadcast reach and where the real hockey culture lives. From there, we chose the team that draws the most condemnation using divisional rivalries, recent playoff history (2020 to 2025), the Original Six tradition and the universal-villain narratives that follow expansion success and dynasty fatigue. We ran this for all 50 states because hockey hatred in pro sports varies most regionally, and the answer says as much about hockey culture as it does the standings.

The last time anyone actually polled fans, the Toronto Maple Leafs finished as the most hated organization by a wide margin, while the Canadiens were third.

Liverpool’s Andy Robertson now has a new destination instead of Tottenham

Fenerbahçe set to sign Andy Robertson following his departure liverpool in the summer transfer window, and can beat Tottenham.

Fener Ajans Report Information Today from journalist Yaziz Sabuncuoglu. He says Fenerbahçe have prepared a deal for the 32-year-old.

Fenerbahçe agreed deal

The Turkish journalist reports that Fenerbahçe have now agreed a deal with the Liverpool defender. He will sign a two-year contract with the Super Lig club worth a €3m salary.

That deal is now done and ready for signature. But this will depend on who wins the upcoming presidential election at the club.

According to Sabuncuoglu, the transfer could be dealt with this summer ‘if both presidential candidates approve’.

Fenerbahçe is ready to vote in the extraordinary electoral congress to be held on June 6-7th. That means any move by Andy Robertson could be delayed by that point. But the Turkish side still finalized the deal.

The Scottish defender is set to end his spell at Anfield this summer. His decision to leave Liverpool at the end of his contract has already been announced.

tottenham interest

He was on the verge of leaving in the January transfer window, with Tottenham keen on him at the time. However, no deal could be agreed upon at that time. Instead he remained at Anfield to see out his contract and take the summer off.

A second attempt has been considered by Tottenham, especially if they remain in the Premier League this season. Its decision is certain to be taken on the last day of the season.

But with such strong ties to the red side of Merseyside, perhaps he wants a different adventure. And it seems that Fenerbahçe are ready to offer him this.

They will simply have to wait for their presidential elections to end or for their candidates to agree before they can move the agreement forward.

英冠俱乐部与伊恩·卡斯罗接洽——在狼队和托特纳姆热刺队效力后,英格兰队产生了兴趣

锦标赛 俱乐部开始照顾前者 伍尔弗汉普顿托特纳姆热刺 在过去的两个赛季里,这位教练在葡萄牙悄然建立了良好的教练声誉。

苏格兰教练伊恩·卡斯罗 (Ian Cathro) 将埃斯托里尔打造成葡萄牙传统顶级俱乐部之外最有组织的球队之一。尽管他们的预算比本菲卡、里斯本竞技或波尔图少得多,但他们在过去两个赛季中都进入了前十名。

他的球队本赛季凭借攻势足球和结构化逼抢赢得了赞誉。埃斯托里尔还很好地培养了年轻球员,这是冠军俱乐部在考虑管理任命时通常高度重视的一点。

卡斯罗在英国有崇拜者

据葡萄牙报纸报道,这项工作现在引起了英国的关注 游戏。报道称,英冠俱乐部已经与伊恩·卡斯罗接洽。

他最出名的还是他在狼队和托特纳姆热刺队与努诺·埃斯皮里托·桑托并肩作战的经历。在 2023 年接手埃斯托里尔队之前,他曾在英超联赛中担任努诺教练组的一员。

当时,他在葡萄牙的任命引起了人们的注意。卡斯罗之前在红心担任经理的经历很糟糕,人们怀疑另一个高级职位是否会很快到来。相反,他在埃斯托里尔稳步重建了自己的声誉 艰难的开始之后

此外,也是在卡斯罗的领导下,埃斯托里尔完成了俱乐部历史上五笔最大销售额中的三笔,收入接近 1700 万英镑(2000 万欧元)。对于埃斯托里尔这样规模的俱乐部来说,这笔收入至关重要,而且只会增强他在内部的地位。

葡萄牙的安静工作得到了回报

O Jogo 解释说,卡斯罗的合同有效期到 2028 年为止,这意味着任何转会都需要与埃斯托里尔高层达成协议。如果未来几周英国人的兴趣变得更加具体,事情可能会变得更加复杂。

尽管如此,报告补充说,卡斯罗目前的首要任务是留在埃斯托里尔。预计教练将很快与俱乐部官员会面,回顾本赛季并讨论 2026/27 赛季的目标。

然而,他的背景自然使他成为冠军俱乐部的一个有趣的选择。他了解英格兰足球,了解大型俱乐部的需求,并且已经在狼队和托特纳姆热刺队获得了英超联赛经验。

这些方法是否会成为正式谈判还有待观察。然而,在埃斯托里尔度过了令人印象深刻的两年之后,英格兰队显然再次密切关注。

打破佩頓托爾新秀賽季的統治地位

在成為相對不為人知的雙 A 球員一年後,厄爾看起來有望在未來幾年進入紅襪隊輪換陣容的中間位置。 佩頓托爾然而,看起來他可以變得更偉大。

波士頓的新興手臂

雖然厄爾利在小聯盟的梯子上逐漸攀升,直到九月份被徵召入伍,這主要是由於更成熟的手臂受傷,但托爾幾乎通過控制紅襪隊向他提出的每一個挑戰來迫使紅襪隊出手。

這位 2024 年第二輪新秀以驚人的速度在短短 49.2 局內三振了 79 名高 A 擊球手,然後在 27 局內以 1.67 自責分率擊敗了雙 A 選手。這使他再次晉升到 3A 伍斯特,在那裡,另外三場具有統治力的先發將說服紅襪隊徵召他來幫助他們在賽季最後一個月陷入困境的輪換陣容。

起初,托爾似乎會為紅襪隊提供他們所尋求的動力,因為他在電子首秀中與最終賽揚冠軍保羅·斯基內斯(Paul Skenes)進行了對壘。然而,雖然海盜隊對他的爆炸性快球沒有答案,但托爾對他的次要投球缺乏信心將被證明是一個主要問題。

擊球手開始坐在他近三分之二的時間裡投出的四縫線球上,押注托爾沒有能力始終如一地投出變速球和弧線球來擊球。

響尾蛇隊在托爾的第二場先發中僅用三局就擊敗了他五分,其外壘安打(三支)與他的快球擊中的次數一樣多。接下來對陣運動隊的另一場兩支全壘打,迫使紅襪隊將托爾在常規賽剩餘時間轉移到牛棚,以支持厄爾利。

儘管托爾在大聯盟首秀中看起來很有希望,但對於三個月前還在高A格林維爾投球的投手來說,他隨後的掙扎並不那麼令人驚訝。

隨著紅襪隊在休賽期引進遊騎兵蘇亞雷斯、桑尼·格雷和奧維多,人們普遍認為托勒將在 3A 賽季的大部分時間裡度過 2026 年常規賽。

Arizona Cardinals ‘not happy’ with Pro Bowler team

There are 32 teams in the NFL, and the Arizona Cardinals are expected to be one of the worst teams in the league. That’s the expectation moving forward after going 3-14 last season, finishing in fourth place in the NFC West, hiring a first-year head coach and with a veteran journeyman starting quarterback like Jacoby Brissett.

The Cardinals’ voluntary organized team activities began on May 18, but they were missing a key member of the roster, former Pro Bowl pass-rusher Josh Sweat. As mentioned, these workouts are completely voluntary, so there is no punishment for players who do not participate.

Arizona Cardinals
Mark J. rebilas-imagen images

According to John Gambadoro of 98.7 FM Phoenix, Sweat was not injured. Then, Cardinals insider Kyle Odegaard added fuel to the fire by revealing that Sweat “isn’t particularly happy in AZ.”

The 29-year-old Sweat recorded a career-high 12 sacks and four forced fumbles last season. This was his first season in Arizona after signing a four-year, $76.5 million contract with the Cardinals in free agency after helping the Philadelphia Eagles win Super Bowl LIX.

Nevertheless, Sweat signed when the Cardinals were coached by defensive-minded Jonathan Gannon. While the Cardinals are now led by the offensive mind of first-year coach Mike LaFleur, not much should change for Sweat, who will still play for defensive coordinator Nick Rallis for the second consecutive season.

Perhaps Sweat wants a raise after dominating individually to protect the bottom line. Sweat’s contract has him ranking 21st in annual average salary among edge rushers, but he performed at an elite level last season. His $16.3 million cap hit in 2025 is more than reasonable for the type of production Sweat is producing.

Perhaps he feels like Arizona is in no position to compete, and he wants to join a contender, no matter what that is; Sweat is trying to send a message.

俱乐部正在等待纽卡斯尔联队的“数以百万计的阵雨”——球员被提供

纽卡斯尔联 对马努·科内很感兴趣,并重新燃起了达成交易的希望。

自 2024 年从门兴格拉德巴赫加盟以来,这位中场球员一直是罗马队的关键球员。他充满活力的技能在意甲联赛中已成为相当大的威胁,吉安·皮耶罗·加斯佩里尼在本赛季发挥了更多作用。

几周前, 体育见证人 广泛报道了纽卡斯尔联队对法国人的兴趣。罗马的财务状况是造成这种情况的一个重要原因,因为他们必须在六月底之前出售球员才能保持在欧足联的限制范围内。

经过一段时间的混乱之后,意大利队现在发现自己已经进入了欧冠席位。还剩一场比赛,他们领先科莫和尤文图斯两分。

理想情况下,这将消除财务不确定性,但事实可能并非如此。

罗马仍有兴趣出售

今天, 信使 明确科内仍然是今年夏天离开罗马的主要候选人。即使欧冠资格对他们有帮助,罗马队也期待着科内的出售带来“数百万美元的阵雨”。

预计将有一位大牌球员离开奥林匹克球场,而这位法国国脚可能就是这位球员。

纽卡斯尔联队的兴趣引起了人们的注意,有迹象表明科内的随行人员正在向他提供报价。马德里竞技最近几周有机会签下他,但他们还没有介入此事。

这给喜鹊带来了新的希望,国际米兰和巴黎圣日耳曼也在其中。

罗马周末对阵维罗纳的比赛预计将是科内为俱乐部效力的最后一场比赛。然而,他的估值很有可能进一步增长,这取决于他在世界杯上随法国队的表现。

喜鹊移动可能很困难

纽卡斯尔联未能获得欧洲资格将阻碍他们签下科内的希望。他曾在罗马踢过欧罗巴联赛,国米和巴黎圣日耳曼可以为他提供欧冠联赛的机会。

蓝黑军团一直是他的长期崇拜者,并在去年夏天试图签下他。巴黎圣日耳曼将是他回到祖国的机会。

他可能是纽卡斯尔联队桑德罗·托纳利的非常合适的替代者。但最终的决定应该由这位前门兴格拉德巴赫球员做出,他可能更喜欢另一家具乐部。

Canadiens vs. Hurricanes Eastern Conference Final Preview

The Montreal Canadiens are set to face the surging Carolina Hurricanes in the 2026 NHL Eastern Conference Finals, giving us a great opportunity to evaluate their 5v5 numbers throughout the regular season.

Next we’ll look at how the Habs and Canes performed when they faced each other on three occasions.

Canadiens and Hurricanes regular-season statistics (5v5)

The first thing we should note is that the Hurricane is the epitome of an ‘analytics darling’ team. They take a lot of shots, and they outscore their opponents by significant margins.

They are also a top-5 team when it comes to creating high-danger scoring chances.

When it comes to shot-share battles, expect the Hurricane to reign supreme.

Shooting and goaltending

On the other side of the coin, the Canadians enjoyed better goaltending in both regular save percentage and high-danger save percentage. They also had more skilled shooters, including higher quality shooting opportunities.

While the Hurricanes put more rubber on net, the Habs are much better at stopping said rubber, not to mention when it comes to capitalizing on their own scoring opportunities.

It’s a battle of quantity versus quality, with the Hurricanes requiring an incredibly high volume of shots to generate most of their attack.

Target

When we boil things down to their ability to score and prevent goals their results are quite similar.

The Habs score more often at 5v5, but the Hurricanes are still among the top 10 teams, while the Canes are better at preventing the puck from entering their net, but not by much.

Canadiens Vs. storm head to head statistics

Carolina and Montreal faced off on three occasions in the regular season. All three games ended with victories for the Canadiens, although they were certainly high-event match-ups.

The Canadiens defeated the Hurricanes 7–5 on January 1, before winning two games in late March.

Overall, they outshot the Hurricanes 12-3, giving them an 80% lead in goals scored at 5v5.

That means it should be a walk in the park for hubs, right?

Absolutely not!

Statistically speaking, the Canadiens were incredibly lucky to emerge from their three games against the Hurricanes with a point, let alone three wins.

This doesn’t mean that Carolina will completely dominate the Habs at 5v5 in the upcoming series, but we shouldn’t fool ourselves into thinking that Montreal will be the favorite team due to the regular season results.

Montreal Canadiens Brass Tacks

Most analysts will pick the Hurricanes to win the Eastern Conference Finals, and there is enough data to suggest that this is a very logical decision.

However, we have yet to see what impact the nearly two weeks off between playoff series will have. The Hurricanes are cold as ice, while the Canadiens have been playing essentially every two days since the playoffs began.

It is also important to remember that the Canadiens faced a lot of quality competition in the playoffs, as the Sabers and Tampa Bay Lightning were among the best teams in the Eastern Conference, while the Ottawa Senators and Philadelphia Flyers were not.

If I were a betting man, my money would be on the Hurricanes, but I’d be very eager to support the Canadiens, given their tendency to rise to the challenge when faced with adversity.

And as we all know, they will face a mountain of adversities in the upcoming series vs Hurricanes.

曼联多次联系签下达尼洛 – 交易价格可达 4000 万欧元

曼联队的 人们对达尼洛的兴趣开始变得更加浓厚。这一切发生的同时,这位中场球员似乎完全脱离了博塔弗戈的计划。

在本赛季表现出色后,这位巴西国脚已经准备好在夏季退出。然而,来自巴西的最新消息表明,事情正在幕后迅速加速。

根据 多份报告达尼洛现在预计将远离博塔弗戈的训练和比赛,直到他的未来变得更加清晰。

这是一个相当大的升级 早期的“风险管理”方法 围绕他的健康和世界杯准备。

在这一点上,确实感觉博塔弗戈已经在离开之前完成了最后的冲刺。

曼联再次发起进攻

这个时机很有趣,因为曼联的名字越来越多地出现在球员的周围。

早期关于首次接触的报道, ESPN 巴西 表示曼联在过去一周进行了新的询问。他们继续将达尼洛视为卡塞米罗的长期替代者。

目前还没有正式谈判或竞标的迹象,但反复的接触听起来确实像是某件事。特别是因为曼联开始看起来像是这场比赛的主要参与者之一。这是过去几天当地媒体认为唯一一家表现出积极兴趣的英格兰俱乐部。

感觉越来越像出口

达尼洛的赛季将他推向了一个完全不同的市场水平。除了成为巴西足坛最有生产力的中场球员之一之外,他还被安切洛蒂征召参加世界杯,这只会增加对他的炒作。

博塔弗戈希望这场比赛将他的身价推向4000万欧元(3400万英镑)。与此同时,一些欧洲俱乐部继续徘徊在这种情况之下。

更重要的是,俱乐部自身的想法对于曼联来说是积极的。他们希望达尼洛在世界杯后被卖到国外,而不是卖给当地的竞争对手。这自然将英超联赛的角度推得更远。

这里的一个重要细节是,一旦正式报价到来,谈判实际上可能并不那么困难。

约翰·特克斯特(John Textor)实际上迫使博塔弗戈失去了对博塔弗戈的控制权,原因是该俱乐部陷入了据报道约为 25 亿雷亚尔(4.27 亿欧元/3.67 亿英镑)的债务。这使得俱乐部面临巨大的财务压力。

博塔弗戈知道他们需要钱,他们也知道达尼洛希望在世界杯后继续前进。

将这两件事放在一起,巴西国内越来越多的人认为,一旦感兴趣的俱乐部决定适当推动,这可能会成为一项相对较快的交易。

阿森纳可能仍然存在

虽然曼联继续与博塔弗戈进行谈判,但阿森纳仍然在球员身边保持活跃。

正如我们之前介绍的枪手已经与达尼洛的工作人员取得了联系,看起来仍然是幕后行动最积极的英格兰俱乐部之一。

但围绕局势的总体感觉正在发生变化。达尼洛看起来已经处于退出过程中,而英格兰的顶级俱乐部正在另一边等待。

10 Detroit Pistons offseason goals aimed at making the Finals in 26-27, including Michael Porter

On Sunday, the Detroit Pistons’ best season in two decades came to a disappointing end in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Despite suffering a second straight series loss and taking a 3–2 lead in their best-of-seven against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit suffered a devastating loss at home in Game 7.

As disappointing as the end of their 60-win season was, the Pistons have a good young core and will be a force in the East for years to come. However, if they want to be taken seriously as title contenders next season, they will need to make some bold moves to improve the roster this summer.

If they can re-sign restricted free agent All-Star Jalen Duren to a new deal that isn’t close to max money, they will have to aim for more offensive punch on defense with the addition of top star Cade Cunningham.

Whether it’s a superstar, All-Star, or impactful role player, here are 10 players the Pistons should target this offseason.

CJ McCallum

The Atlanta Hawks found out how valuable graybird CJ McCollum can be after trading for him during the season. He emerged as a team leader and strong secondary scorer. During the playoffs, he became the leading scorer when Jalen Johnson buckled under postseason pressure.

The Pistons don’t need him to be a top scorer, but the 34-year-old could be perfect as another option behind Cunningham, and he should come at a reasonable rate in free agency.

The Pistons need more offensive punch off their bench or next to Cunningham in the backcourt. Another interesting option would be Portland Trail Blazers veteran Anfernee Simmons. Although he bounced back a bit last season, the 26-year-old is a player who has averaged more than 20 points a game twice during his career and is a legitimate three-point threat.

Since his value is lower than it was a few years ago, Detroit may be able to get him for a much cheaper rate in free agency.

giannis antetokounmpo

There is no doubt that the Pistons will be linked to the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade chase this offseason. If healthy, the combination of Cunningham and the two-time NBA MVP could be a major problem for every other team in the East. And Detroit could certainly make a good business proposition.

However, the bigger question is, will Trajan Langdon mortgage his future to make such a bold move on an aging player who has developed real injury concerns?

norman powell

Eleven-year NBA veteran Norman Powell has quietly emerged as one of the better scoring forwards in the game after two seasons averaging over 21 points a game. The first-time All-Star is a free agent and will certainly get a nice raise this summer.

Powell would be a notable upgrade over Tobias Harris and would give Detroit a No. 2 scoring option that opponents should respect without giving up draft assets in a trade.

Michael Porter Jr.

Michael Porter Jr.’s seventh season in the league was a career-best year. As the No. 1 option for the Brooklyn Nets, he posted 24.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals a night. Staying healthy has always been the forward’s biggest issue, but he’s still only 27 years old and on an expiring contract.

Although he won’t come cheap and may be a rental, the trio of Cunningham, Duran and Porter could be finals contenders next season.

If Langdon looks to build a deep roster around Cunningham and Duren, another free agent to keep an eye on is Chicago Bulls veteran Coby White. He is an impact scorer off the bench or in the starting lineup after averaging 15.4 ppg over his seven-year career. He’s only 26 years old, he should arrive at a reasonable rate, and he’ll be a very good veteran player this offseason.

Trey Murphy III

When casual fans think of the New Orleans Pelicans, they assume Zion Williamson is their top star. However, due to his injury problems, Trey Murphy III has emerged as the No. 1 scoring option in NOLA. But that hasn’t been good enough to bring them out of the bottom of the standings, which is why the Pelicans may consider a trade this summer as they continue their rebuild.

While it could cost him at least two first-round picks in a trade, if Langdon wants to move forward with a combination of Cunningham and Duren, the 25-year-old Murphy III could be a third of the title contenders in the next few years.

If the Detroit Pistons are willing to be risky, two-time All-Star Ja Morant could be acquired without giving up any meaningful draft picks. That’s how much his value has diminished due to his trouble staying healthy over the last few years and being off the court during that time.

However, if any player could benefit from a change in landscape and get back to his typical ways, it would be Morant. If Detroit can keep the 26-year-old healthy and focused, Morant could help form the best backcourt in the NBA with Cunningham.

Denver Nuggets veteran Peyton Watson is going to attract a lot of interest in free agency this summer. The 2025-26 season was a success for the 23-year-old, as he posted just 15 points and five boards a night while shooting 41% from three.

If Langdon is looking for a third building block that he can develop alongside Cunningham and Duren, Watson would be at the top of his free agent wish list.

Domantas Sabonis

The sleeper target for the Pistons this summer could be three-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis. The Sacramento Kings were unable to find a trade for him before the trade deadline and are certain to acquire him again this summer. However he is owed a lot of money and due to a torn meniscus his price will probably be nowhere near what it was a few seasons ago.

The combo of Sabonis and Duren in the front court for a few seasons, as they dominate the boards, will be an approach that former rivals will have difficulty coping with.

Championship clubs approach Ian Cathro – English interest after Wolves and Tottenham spells

championship Clubs are starting to take care of the former wolverhampton And tottenham The coach has quietly built up a strong reputation as a manager in Portugal over the past two seasons.

Scottish coach Ian Cathro has transformed Estoril into one of the more organized teams outside Portugal’s traditional top clubs. Despite working with a much smaller budget than Benfica, Sporting or Porto, they finished in the top ten in each of the last two campaigns.

His team earned praise for their attacking football and structured pressing this season. Estoril has also developed youth players very well, something Championship clubs often value highly when considering managerial appointments.

Cathro has fans in England

According to a Portuguese newspaper, that work is now attracting the attention of England game. The report adds that Ian Cathro has already been contacted by Championship clubs.

He is still best known for his spells with Nuno Espirito Santo at both Wolverhampton and Tottenham Hotspur. He worked as part of Nuno’s coaching staff in the Premier League before taking the Estoril job in 2023.

At the time, his appointment raised eyebrows in Portugal. Cathro’s previous experience as a manager at Hearts had ended badly, and there were doubts about whether another senior role would be available quickly. Instead, he has steadily rebuilt his reputation in Estoril. after a tough start.

Furthermore, it was under Cathro that Estoril completed three of the five biggest sales in club history, earning approximately £17m (€20m). For a club of Estoril’s size, that income is significant and has strengthened its position internally.

Working for peace is bearing fruit in Portugal

O Jogo points out that Cathro will remain under contract until 2028, meaning any move would require agreement with Estoril’s hierarchy. If English interest becomes more solid in the coming weeks it could complicate things.

Nevertheless, the report states that Cathro’s current preference is to remain at Estoril. The coach is expected to meet with club officials soon to review the season and discuss ambitions for 2026/27.

However, his background naturally makes him an interesting option for Championship clubs. He knows English football, understands the demands of big clubs and already has Premier League experience through Wolves and Tottenham.

It remains to be seen whether the approaches can become formal negotiations. However, after two impressive years at Estoril, England are clearly watching closely again.

“疯狂”——本菲卡球员赞扬德泽尔比,为热刺重聚打开大门

托特纳姆热刺 球员们仍在适应罗伯托·德泽尔比麾下的生活,但本菲卡门将阿纳托利·特鲁宾已经详细介绍了与意大利人一起工作的实际情况。

从乌克兰人的话来看,现任热刺主帅给球员们留下了非常深刻的印象。

正在讲话 到球这位 24 岁的球员回顾了 2021/22 赛季在顿涅茨克矿工德泽尔比麾下的赛季。意大利人显然改变了他看待足球的方式。

特鲁宾用一个词来形容德泽尔比: “疯狂的。”

但这并不是批评。恰恰相反。

特鲁宾解释德泽尔比的影响

阿纳托利·特鲁宾多次重申,德泽尔比改变了他对足球的理解。

“他让我看到了另一种比赛方式,即使对我来说,作为门将也是如此。他希望每个人都知道自己的角色,” 他解释道。

“我们仍然会问自己,在他之前我们是如何踢球的,因为他为我们开辟了一条新的踢球道路。” 他说。

意大利人以结构化的控球足球、积极的组织进攻和严格的位置责任而闻名。守门员成为构建阶段的一部分,而不是简单的射门阻挡者。

因此,听到守门员如此强烈的赞扬就特别有趣。

随后特鲁宾还明确表示,他欢迎再次与他合作,他的两条台词不可避免地引起了北伦敦的关注。

“他仍然可以教我很多东西,” 门将承认了这一点,然后回答他是否愿意转会到英格兰。

“世界上没有球员不想在英超踢球,但我必须继续努力。”

目前,特鲁宾说他在里斯本很开心,并开玩笑说拥有里斯本的好处 “十个月的阳光”。尽管如此,每当德泽比的名字出现时,采访的整体基调都是非常积极的。

托特纳姆热刺最终会关注他吗?

阿纳托利·特鲁宾

托特纳姆热刺预计将在今年夏天做出进球决定。

古列尔莫·维卡里奥继续吸引人们的兴趣,但可能不会永远留下来,而安东尼·金斯基仍然需要证明他可以成为英超联赛的长期第一人。这自然使特鲁宾角度变得有趣。

乌克兰人已经比市场上大多数门将更了解德泽尔比的需求。 24岁的他也符合热刺通常的目标——年轻,有待发展,但已经拥有高水平的经验。

他本赛季的数据也很强劲。在葡萄牙甲级联赛中,特鲁宾在32场比赛中只丢了20球,并保持了13场不失球。在他进球的情况下,本菲卡每 144 分钟就丢一个球,而他每 90 分钟的丢球数为 0.63 个。

他的拦网数据也令人印象深刻。特鲁宾98次射门扑出了74次,扑救率为75.51%。

这些统计数据有助于解释为什么本菲卡将他视为葡萄牙最有价值的门将之一。 曼城与他联系在一起 在转会吉安路易吉·多纳鲁马之前。所以他的股票很高。

目前没有任何迹象表明托特纳姆热刺正在积极引进他。然而,在对德泽尔比进行了如此热情的评论之后,加上热刺守门员情况的不确定性,特鲁宾突然觉得如果托特纳姆热刺留在英超联赛中,他是一个值得关注的人物。

「對我們有利的一點」——巴列卡諾隊長強調他們擁有而水晶宮沒有的東西

巴列卡諾隊長奧斯卡·瓦倫丁相信他們在歐羅巴聯賽決賽中比水晶宮更有優勢,這是他們的更衣室。

今天,El Partidazo de COPE 報導了這位 31 歲球員在分區聯賽決賽前的評論。

比水晶宮好

拉約隊是這次比賽的驚喜之作,很少有人預料到這支西班牙球隊能走到這一步。這只是他們繼2000-01賽季參加歐洲聯盟杯之後第二次出現在歐洲賽事中。

和水晶宮一樣,這將是他們的第一次歐洲決賽。他們在半決賽中以 2-0 擊敗斯特拉斯堡,進入了最後兩場比賽。

隊長奧斯卡·瓦倫丁相信他們有一個對自己有利的主要面向:更衣室裡目前的權力。

「我確信水晶宮更衣室與我們這裡的更衣室不同。這是對我們有利的一點,」他說。

“舉足輕重的聯盟?這是對奧斯卡·特雷霍最好的告別。”

疲勞設定

這支西班牙球隊在西班牙度過了一個令人印象深刻的賽季後進入了決賽,目前他們排名第八,距離前六名僅差四分。

這是一支令人印象深刻的回歸,大多數人預計本賽季將在積分榜上掙扎。相反,他們領先七分,週六將與阿拉維斯進行最後一場比賽,四天后進行決賽。

考慮到他們的表​​現比分區內球隊成本排名高得多的球隊更令人印象深刻。

不幸的是,這也意味著本賽季是一個令人筋疲力盡的賽季。在最近與瓦倫西亞戰平後,奧斯卡·瓦倫丁願意承認這一點。

“考慮到球隊因累積的比賽而非常疲勞,在總是困難重重的球場上取得這樣的成績是一個好成績。它讓我們更接近我們的目標,幾乎觸手可及。” Union Rayo 報告他說。

「我們有一支相當大的陣容。事實證明,無論誰上場,都表現得很好。疲勞正在造成影響。我們已經有好幾場比賽不敗了,球隊會專注於接下來的兩場比賽。

「這是我們必須一周又一周地付出的精神努力。由於快速連續進行瞭如此多的比賽,我們沒有時間考慮決賽。我認為球隊專注於強勢結束本賽季,為備受期待的決賽建立動力。”

Matt Cardona has a great idea for the next WWE 2K game that involves getting fired

During a new interview, WWE star Matt Cardona revealed a brilliant and hilarious idea for the company’s next 2K game.

One of the best products that wrestling companies create from their television content is video games. It allows dedicated supporters of the industry to become punters and live out the matches of their dreams. Another fun element of wrestling games is the career mode.

If you can’t be a wrestler in real life, WWE fans can make it and make the journey to becoming a main event WWE Superstar. Over the past few decades, the company’s game creators have made a lot of fun additions to the career mode. Well, Cardona has a great idea for WWE 2K7 that mirrors the stories of several popular current stars.

“Man, I think there should be a way where you get fired, then you go and toil on the indies for five years and come back. I’m serious,” he told Sproff. “You go, and you wrestle in all these dirty places. Then you go to Japan. Then you wrestle out at some fair, and then you come back to WWE.”

Cardona is the latest WWE one-time star to be fired and then become a star on the independent scene only to return to the world’s No. 1 company. Current WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes did something similar from 2016 to 2022 after leaving the company. Before him, Drew McIntyre had prepared a blueprint to return to WWE by becoming a top indie star from 2014 to 2017.

“Crazy” – Benfica player praises De Zerbi, opens door to reunion at Tottenham

tottenham Players are still getting used to life under Roberto De Zerbi, but Benfica goalkeeper Anatoly Trubin has already offered a detailed glimpse of what it’s really like to work with the Italian.

And judging by the Ukrainian’s words, the current Spurs manager makes a very strong impression on his players.

talking to to ballThe 24-year-old reflected on his season under De Zerbi at Shakhtar Donetsk in 2021/22. The Italian has clearly changed the way he looks at football.

Trubin described De Zerbi in one word: “crazy.”

However this was not a criticism. Quite the opposite.

Trubin explains the de Zerbi effect

Anatoly Trubin repeated many times that De Zerbi changed his understanding of football.

“He opened my eyes to another way of playing, even for me, as a goalkeeper. He wants everyone to know their role.” he explained.

“We still ask ourselves how we played football before him, because he opened a new way of playing for us.” He said.

The Italian has built his reputation around structured possession football, aggressive build-up play and demanding positional responsibilities. Goalkeepers become part of the build-up phase rather than simple shot stoppers.

For that reason, it’s especially interesting to hear such strong praise from a goalkeeper.

Trubin then also made it clear that he would welcome another opportunity to work with him, along the lines of something that would inevitably attract attention in North London.

“He can still teach me a lot,” The goalkeeper admitted that before answering whether he would like to move to England.

“There is no player in the world who does not want to play in the Premier League, but I have to continue to work hard.”

For now, Trubin says he’s happy in Lisbon, and touts its benefits “Ten Months of the Sun”. Nevertheless, the overall tone of the interview was extremely positive whenever De Zerbi’s name came up.

Could Tottenham finally take a look at him?

Anatoly Trubin

It is expected that Tottenham will make a decision in line with the target this summer.

Interest in Guglielmo Vicario remains and may not last forever, while Antonin Kinski still has to prove he can become a long-term No. 1 at Premier League level. This naturally makes the Trubin angle interesting.

The Ukrainian already understands the demands of De Zerbi better than most goalkeepers on the market. At 24, he also fits the profile that Tottenham usually target – young enough for development, but already experienced at a high level.

His figures have been strong this season too. In Liga Portugal, Trubin conceded only 20 goals in 32 matches and kept 13 clean sheets. Benfica allows a goal with him every 144 minutes, while the goals he concedes per 90 minutes is 0.63.

His shot blocking numbers are also impressive. Trubin saved 74 of the 98 shots he faced, giving him a save percentage of 75.51%.

Those statistics help explain why Benfica view him as one of Portugal’s most valuable goalkeepers. Manchester City were linked with them Before stepping in for Gianluigi Donnarumma. That’s why their stocks are high.

At present there does not seem to be anything to suggest that Tottenham are actively pursuing him. However, after such glowing comments about De Zerbi, and with uncertainty surrounding Spurs’ goalkeeping situation, Trubin suddenly feels like a profile worth watching if Tottenham are to remain in the Premier League.

“对我们有利的一点”——巴列卡诺队长强调他们拥有而水晶宫没有的东西

Rayo Vallecano 队长 Oscar Valentin 认为他们比 水晶宫 欧联杯决赛,他们的更衣室。

“举足轻重的联盟?这是对奥斯卡·特雷霍最好的送别。”

这支西班牙球队在西班牙度过了一个令人印象深刻的赛季后进入了决赛,目前他们排名第八,距离前六名仅差四分。

这是一支令人印象深刻的回归,大多数人预计本赛季将在积分榜上挣扎。相反,他们领先七分,周六将与阿拉维斯进行最后一场比赛,四天后进行决赛。

考虑到他们的表现比分区内球队成本排名高得多的球队更令人印象深刻。

不幸的是,这也意味着本赛季是一个令人筋疲力尽的赛季。在最近与瓦伦西亚战平后,奥斯卡·瓦伦丁愿意承认这一点。

“考虑到球队因累积的比赛而非常疲劳,在总是困难重重的球场上取得这样的成绩是一个好成绩。它让我们更接近我们的目标,几乎触手可及。” Union Rayo 报告他说。

“我们有一支相当大的阵容。事实证明,无论谁上场,都表现得很好。疲劳正在造成影响。我们已经有好几场比赛不败了,球队会专注于接下来的两场比赛。

“这是我们必须一周又一周地付出的精神努力。由于快速连续进行了如此多的比赛,我们没有时间考虑决赛。我认为球队专注于强势结束本赛季,为备受期待的决赛建立动力。”

洛根·韋伯在新的一年裡出了什麼問題?

這使得韋伯的自責失分率為 10.80,他試圖在接下來的幾週內降低這個值,同時給巨人隊一個非常強烈的信號,表明他們在棒球比賽的前幾周可以期待什麼。

看起來可能並非如此,但韋伯在三月唯一的郊遊之後,四月份的表現相當強勁。在 5 場先發和 33 局比賽中,他的自責分率為 3.27,FIP 為 3.71。他並不是最好的自己,但他的跡象表明開幕日只是路上的一個坎坷。

不幸的是,日曆翻到了五月,韋伯再次遭到伏擊。他過去曾在與分區競爭對手教士隊的比賽中掙扎過,但從來沒有像這次這樣。到目前為止,他在五月的一場首發中只打了四局,丟掉六分自責分,三振四次。

這導致韋伯在 5 月 9 日在伊利諾伊州的比賽極為罕見。在那之前,自 2021 年夏天以來,他沒有錯過在舊金山的重要比賽。洛根韋伯之所以成為棒球界最好的投手之一,部分原因在於他在 162 場比賽中的表現。

這一次,據報道他已經處理了一段時間的膝蓋傷病,這讓他缺席了比賽。然而,這位老將明確表示,這並不是他表現不佳的藉口。當被問及這是否導致對陣教士隊的比賽中出現爆炸性局面時,韋伯是這樣說的:

“不。這不是外面發生的事情的藉口。”

——羅根‧韋伯

那麼,問題是什麼?

通常,當我們看到投手明顯退化時,我們會認為他們已經變老並且他們的東西已經下降。這種事常發生。隨著他們職業生涯的繼續,他們根本無法像以前那樣移動棒球。

然而,儘管韋伯從來都不是一個能用速度和其他東西壓倒擊球手的人,但事實並非如此。

5 Kansas City Chiefs aim to keep an eye on WR as Rashi Rice situation evolves

The Kansas City Chiefs may face uncertainty at wide receiver as the Rashee Rice situation continues to evolve. With questions regarding depth and reliability in the passing game, the team may need to explore outside options this offseason.

Here are five wide receiver targets the Chiefs could pursue to bolster their offense ahead of the 2026-27 NFL season.

AJ Brown – Elite WR1 Upgrade for Kansas City

AJ Brown would be an elite WR1 for an offense in desperate need of big impact players. The Browns would need a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles, but the New England Patriots are the most likely outcome at this point. However, with Rice’s status becoming more uncertain, the Chiefs could step back and make a surprise trade in June.

Tyreek Hill – Speed ​​reunion possibility for the Chiefs offense

Tyreek Hill a target of the Kansas City Chiefs
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (10) gained a first down on the Dolphins final drive, leading to the game-winning field goal against the Dallas Cowboys during an NFL game at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on December 24, 2023.

Tyreek Hill and Kansas City could be in for a reunion this offseason. After recovering from a season-ending knee injury, Hill is looking for a new team and the Chiefs are a perfect fit. The organization lacks depth at wide receiver, and Hill could use a speed boost with Xavier Worthy. It seems like a reunion is likely, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see Hill back in red.

Stefon Diggs – proven route technician and experienced target

NFL: AFC Wild Card Round-Los Angeles Chargers at New England Patriots

Stefon Diggs will be a much-needed presence for Patrick Mahomes next season. Diggs is looking for a new home after being released by the Patriots due to financial reasons. The 32-year-old wide receiver is a reliable middle-of-the-field target who will thrive in the Chiefs’ offense. With Diggs looking to win a Super Bowl, this would be the perfect landing spot.

Keenan Allen – Reliable chain-mover in the passing game

NFL: Los Angeles Chargers at Jacksonville Jaguars

Keenan Allen signing with the Chiefs would be the worst-case scenario for the Los Angeles Chargers. Allen has built a legacy in Los Angeles, but he hasn’t won any Super Bowls. If the 34-year-old wide receiver joins Mahomes in Kansas City, he will become a reliable target to move the chains in the passing game. Allen may be too loyal to the Chargers, but he would be an excellent pickup.

Deebo Samuel – Versatile Weapon for Creative Playcalling

NFL: Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles

Deebo Samuel will give the Chiefs more flexibility on offense. Samuel won’t be a flashy signee like Hill or Diggs, but he will give head coach Andy Reid a bigger playbook with creative playcalling. The 30-year-old wide receiver has some injury risk, but it could pay off if he stays healthy. Kansas City needs depth, and Samuel would be a good solution.

Club waiting for ‘millions of spectators’ from Newcastle United – players are being offered from all over

newcastle united Manu is curious about the deal and has rekindled hopes of a deal.

The midfielder has been a key player for AS Roma since joining from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2024. His dynamic skills have become quite a threat in Serie A, with Gian Piero Gasperini bringing more out of him this season.

A few weeks ago, sports witness Newcastle United’s interest in the Frenchman was widely covered. Roma’s financial situation was a major reason behind this, as they had to sell players by the end of June to stay within UEFA restrictions.

After a period of chaos, the Italian team now finds itself in the Champions League spots. There is still a game left and they are two points ahead of Como and Juventus.

Ideally, this would remove financial uncertainties, but that may not be the case.

Roma still interested in sale

Today, messenger Make it clear that Kone is still a leading candidate to leave Roma in the summer. Even though Champions League qualification will help them, the Giallorossi will hope to ‘rain millions’ from the sale of Kone.

A big name is expected to leave the Stadio Olimpico and the France international could be that player.

Newcastle United’s interest comes amid indications that Kone’s squad are offering him their surroundings. In recent weeks, Atlético Madrid were offered the chance to sign him but they did not take part.

It comes as there is new hope for the Magpies, with Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain also in the picture.

Roma’s game against Verona at the weekend is expected to be Kone’s last game for the club. However, it is very likely that his evaluation will depend on how he performs at the World Cup with Les Bleus.

It’s probably hard for a magpie to move

Newcastle United’s failure to qualify for Europe would hinder their hopes of signing Kone. He has played in the Europa League at Roma and Inter and PSG could offer him Champions League football.

The Nerazzurri have been long-time admirers and tried to sign him last summer. PSG will be an opportunity for him to return to his country.

He could be a very suitable replacement for Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali. But the final decision must come to the ex-Gladbach man, who may prefer another club.

WWE backstage rumor makes Wyatt Six, New Day and MCMG releases even more ridiculous

A new rumor about WWE’s plans in the coming weeks and months makes the recent release of the Wyatt Six and the Motor City Machine Guns even more silly.

In April, WWE surprised wrestling fans when they decided to part ways with approximately 30 performers across Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and their developmental system. There were several surprise departures, but one that shocked many was the entire faction known as the Wyatt Six and TNA/Impact legends, the Motor City Machine Guns.

His exit seemed to reflect the company’s disinterest in tag wrestling as WWE fans have become more aware over the years. However, apparently, the promotion is planning to invest in tag wrestling again soon.

WWE plans to rebuild the tag team division

According to False Finish, “WWE is currently trying to help rebuild the tag team division from within, while also looking at the possibility of signing tag teams from other promotions in the near future.”

Obviously, the report should be taken with a grain of salt. However, if there is any truth to the news that WWE decided to cut ties with former tag champions like Wyatt Six, MCMG, and The New Day – who decided to leave after they asked to take a pay cut – it now seems pretty silly.

For tag wrestling fans, the report is good news, and WWE has some very talented teams on its stacked roster. But if they really invested in rebuilding the division, they seriously damaged it with their release last month.

€9 million Tottenham sale nears completion – player bids an emotional farewell

It barely feels like it’s from Alejo Veliz tottenham Now, but the situation will remain the same till next month. Now it appears the striker has played his final home match for Rosario Central in emotional fashion.

according to hailVeliz played and scored in his farewell appearance at Gigante de Arroyo ahead of his upcoming move to Bahia.

As we covered earlier this yearThe Brazilian club agreed a €9m (£7.6m) deal with Tottenham, finally ending a chaotic transfer saga involving City Football Group.

The striker’s loan officially expires on June 30, although for a long time it looked as if he might leave much sooner.

Long goodbye after months of drama

Alejo Veliz’s move to Bahia took more twists than most people expected.

At various stages, negotiations took place regarding January’s exit, compensation payments to Rosario Central, etc. Even Alternative Deal Structures Includes buy-back clauses in the future for Tottenham. At one time it seemed as if the transfer story changed every two days.

In the end, Rosario Central stood firm and managed to retain the striker until the end of the loan period.

Veliz wanted to stay in Argentina, finish the season on a good note and play in front of Central supporters before starting the next chapter of his career in Brazil.

That emotional connection was on display during his final appearance in Rosario. Fans already knew the striker would be leaving, but the goal and the tears that followed gave the night a different feel.

Mixed numbers but still an important figure

Alejo Veliz did not make a large number of appearances during his return to Argentina. He finished the season with six goals in 23 matches for Rosario Central.

Nevertheless, he remained a key player for the team throughout the campaign. Rosario reached the semi-finals of the Argentine Championship, and Veliz played a major role alongside Argentine legend Ángel Di María despite continued noise about his future.

This also helps explain why Rosario tried so hard to keep him until June instead of agreeing to an exit earlier.

what happens next

For Tottenham, the situation has already been resolved financially. Spurs agreed a permanent sale months ago avoid pulling uncertainty Deeper in summer.

Meanwhile, Bahia finally got the striker they had been chasing for so long. Operating as Manchester City’s satellite club in Brazil within the City Football Group structure, they see Veliz as part of a long-term project rather than a quick gamble.

Now, after several months of terms, negotiations and delays, the focus is finally back on football. Alejo Veliz gets a bye in Rosario – and Bahia’s wait is almost over.

900万欧元托特纳姆热刺出售即将完成——球员情绪激动地告别

几乎感觉不到 Alejo Véliz 属于 托特纳姆热刺 不再这样了,但直到下个月仍然如此。现在,这位前锋似乎以激动人心的方式完成了他在罗萨里奥中央队的最后一场主场比赛。

根据 奥莱贝利兹在即将转会巴伊亚之前,在阿罗伊托巨人球场的告别赛中出场并进球。

正如我们今年早些时候报道的那样,巴西俱乐部与托特纳姆热刺达成了一份 900 万欧元(760 万英镑)的协议,最终结束了涉及城市足球集团的混乱转会故事。

这名前锋的租借将于 6 月 30 日正式到期,尽管长期以来他似乎可以更早离开。

经过几个月的戏剧性的告别

阿莱霍·维利兹(Alejo Véliz)搬到巴伊亚的过程比大多数人预期的要曲折得多。

在不同阶段,讨论了一月份的退出、向罗萨里奥中心支付赔偿金和 甚至替代交易结构 涉及托特纳姆热刺未来的回购条款。有一段时间,感觉转会故事每隔几天就会发生变化。

最终,罗萨里奥中央队坚定了立场,并成功留住了这名前锋,直到租借期结束。

贝利兹希望留在阿根廷,好好地完成这个赛季,并继续在中央球迷面前踢球,然后在巴西开始他职业生涯的下一个篇章。

这种情感联系在他最后一次出现在罗萨里奥时表现出来。球迷们已经知道这位前锋会离开,但进球和下场后的泪水给这个夜晚带来了截然不同的感觉。

数字参差不齐,但仍然是一个重要数字

阿莱霍·维利兹在阿根廷回归期间并没有取得巨大的成绩。赛季结束后,他为罗萨里奥中央队出场 23 次,打进 6 球。

即便如此,整个赛季他仍然是球队的重要球员。罗萨里奥进入了阿根廷锦标赛的半决赛,而贝利兹与阿根廷传奇人物安吉尔·迪玛丽亚一起发挥了重要作用,尽管关于他的未来的噪音不断。

这也有助于解释为什么罗萨里奥如此努力地想让他留到六月,而不是同意提前离开。

接下来会发生什么

对于托特纳姆热刺队来说,财务上的情况已经得到解决。几个月前热刺同意永久出售 避免拖累不确定性 进入夏天的更深处。

与此同时,巴伊亚终于得到了他们长期以来追逐的前锋。作为曼城在城市足球集团结构内的巴西卫星俱乐部,他们将贝利兹视为长期项目的一部分,而不是一场快速赌博。

现在,在经历了几个月的条款、谈判和拖延之后,焦点终于回到了足球上。阿莱霍·维利兹 (Alejo Véliz) 在罗萨里奥 (Rosario) 告别,巴伊亚 (Bahia) 的等待即将结束。

JJ布萊迪正在為紅軍提供他們所需要的東西

此舉是有道理的。布萊迪不僅提供力量,而且他還組織了出色的擊球,經常工作計數,增加投球計數,並一次又一次找到一種艱難的方法。但是,當弗蘭科納最終讓弗里德爾失去領先位置時,滴流效應將布萊迪推到了中間位置,在第四和第五之間翻轉。

這使得中路陣容能夠在洛威碰壁的情況下獲得力量提升。它為紅軍提供了一個可以插入的棋子,讓其他棋子落入更適合的位置。

辛辛那提需要這樣的球員。無論在哪裡都能打出出色擊球的人。這讓弗蘭科納可以自由地改變球員,直到他找到合適的東西。將左撇子球棒夾在強硬的右撇子之間會改變對手攻擊紅軍陣容的方式。

在布萊迪(甚至是洛)成為常客之前,紅軍有一系列右撇子。在比賽後期,一支球隊可以設置他們的牛棚,以排列右撇子並迫使弗蘭科納也許在他準備好之前就坐到他的替補席上。

在布萊迪的幫助下,他推遲了這一決定,並讓對方主帥對他的牛棚轉會三思而後行。

雖然陣容構建很重要,但唯一重要的是球員是否能提供衝擊威脅。到目前為止,布萊迪一直是這種威脅。

需要來自左側的動力

理論上,紅軍在新賽季開始時有兩個左撇子選擇:洛和班森。事實上,他們沒有。至少沒有一個是你覺得有信心的。

洛在上個賽季的長打率為 0.381,自 2022 年以來還沒有突破過 20 支全壘打。雖然本森的最佳屬性是力量,但他缺乏身體接觸,這使得力量只是一種想法而不是實踐。

5 possible landing positions including heat and piston

Earlier this month, the Dallas Mavericks finally got a new head of basketball operations when they hired former Denver Nuggets and Toronto Raptors executive Masai Ujiri. Well, it didn’t take long for the one-time executive to make his first big move and it happened on Tuesday night when he fired Hall of Famer Jason Kidd as head coach.

However, Ujiri may not be done yet when it comes to major changes. There were recent rumors that the team would consider trading nine-time All-Star Kyrie Irving during the season if he can prove he is fully healthy after returning from a torn ACL in March 2025. Well, they may not have to wait that long.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, “There is fear all over the world that the Mavericks are likely to receive trade interest in Irving this offseason, whether they want it or not.” If Dallas has seriously considered trade offers for a player who misses the 2025-26 season, let’s take a look at five teams that could make a deal.

minnesota timberwolves

After falling short in the semifinals of the NBA Playoffs, the Minnesota Timberwolves are looking to make a big move that could send them to the NBA Finals next spring. They have been linked to a potential trade for stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ja Morant and Kevin Durant over the past few years. If they can’t make a deal for either of those players this summer, Irving could be an interesting backup option.

There is definitely risk in the deal. However, Irving would come at a cheaper price than Antetokounmpo or Durant. Especially when he has two years and $81 million left on his contract. However, if he can return as an All-Star closer in 2024-25, the combo of Irving and Anthony Edwards could be dynamite.

detroit pistons

While the Detroit Pistons showed during the regular season that they are ready to be a force in the East right now, the playoffs proved that they are in desperate need of another impact scorer to pair with top star Cade Cunningham. Trading the 34-year-old coming off an ACL tear isn’t a typical Pistons move, but the price could make it a realistic option.

If healthy, Irving would be a great No. 2 scorer for Cunningham in 2026-27.

los angeles clippers

It appears that the Los Angeles Clippers are rebuilding. They traded James Harden and were able to acquire the fifth pick in the NBA draft by transferring Ivica Zubac. Yet, they still have Kawhi Leonard and were in contention for a playoff spot last month. Some around the league think they might even consider trading their first-rounder to bring in another star next month.

This may be too high a price for Irving. However, if LA isn’t hit with a heavy draft penalty for the Aspiration Scandal, using a future pick to pair Irving with Leonard, and whoever they get with the No. 5 pick, could lead to a very good team next season.

Miami Heat

usa today sports

The Miami Heat are likely to be star hunting this summer after a disappointing finish to the 2025-26 season. Before this year’s trade deadline, reports surfaced that the team was considering a trade for Ja Morant. If they were open to that idea, why not make a move for Irving instead? At least he’s less volatile and has played better over the years.

If they lose Norman Powell in free agency, the Heat will need to fill their scoring void. If healthy, the trio of Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Kyrie Irving could make some noise in the East next season.

Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls are in rebuilding mode and plan to move forward with Josh Giddy and Matas Buzzelis as the new faces of the franchise. However, they need more attacking punch if they want to at least make a run for a play-in spot next season.

They certainly have the assets to trade and are at such a low point that they would risk adding a 34-year-old coming off ACL surgery and still owed over $80 million.

Manchester United repeatedly approached to sign Danilo – deal could be worth €40m

of manchester united Interest in Danilo is beginning to seem more serious. This comes at the very moment when the midfielder looks to be completely out of Botafogo’s plans.

The Brazil international was already heading towards a potential summer exit following his excellent form this season. However, the latest update coming out of Brazil shows that things are heating up quickly behind the scenes.

according to multiple reportsDanilo is now expected to miss Botafogo training sessions and matches until his future becomes clearer.

This is a huge increase Earlier “risk management” approach About his fitness and World Cup preparation.

At this point, it really feels as if Botafogo is already managing the final stages before his departure.

Manchester United is pushing again

The timing is interesting as the Manchester United name continues to appear more and more around the player.

after Previous reports of first contact, espn brazil Said United made new inquiries last week. They continue to view Danilo as a potential long-term replacement for Casemiro.

There is still no sign of formal conversation or speech, but repeated contact certainly suggests something is going on. Especially as United are beginning to look like one of the main players in the race. It is the only English club to have been credited with active interest by the local press in the past few days.

feels more and more like passing out

Danilo’s season has pushed him to a completely different market level. In addition to establishing himself as one of the most productive midfielders in Brazilian football, he was also called up for the World Cup by Carlo Ancelotti, increasing the hype around him.

Botafogo expect their valuation from the tournament to reach €40m (£34m). Meanwhile, several European clubs continued to weigh in on the situation.

More importantly, the club’s own sentiment is positive for Manchester United. They want Danilo to be sold abroad after the World Cup – not to a local rival. This naturally pushes the Premier League angle even further.

An important point here is that negotiations really won’t be that difficult once a formal offer is made.

John Textor was effectively stripped of control of Botafogo after leaving the club nearly R$2.5bn (€427m / £367m) in debt. This has left a club under great financial pressure.

Botafogo know they need money, and they also know Danilo wants a move after the World Cup.

Put those two things together, and there is a growing feeling in Brazil that this could become a relatively quick deal once one of the interested clubs decides to make a proper move.

arsenal may still be there

While Manchester United continue to talk with Botafogo, Arsenal remain active in their pursuit of the player.

As we covered earlierThe Gunners have already made contact with Danilo’s staff and still look like one of the most aggressively moving English clubs behind the scenes.

But the overall sentiment about the situation is changing. It seems Danilo is already in the middle of the exit process, and England’s top shelf clubs are waiting on the other side.

Celtic and Rangers shift battle for midfielder – front page story

celtic and Danny Rohl’s Rangers are expected to reshape parts of their midfield this summer, especially with European football again increasing the physical demands on their squads.

Recruitment from Scandinavia has also become a familiar route for Celtic and Rangers in recent years. This helps explain why Silas Anderson is now on their radar.

The 21-year-old BK Hacken midfielder has quietly become one of the most reliable performers in the Danish league over the past season. His combination of defensive intensity, ball-carrying and composure in possession is now attracting the interest of many countries.

According to Portuguese outlet recordBoth Celtic and Rangers are monitoring Anderson closely as Sporting moves forward with attempts to sign the midfielder.

The Portuguese newspaper reports that Sporting has already made preliminary contact with Hacken regarding a possible transfer. Hamburg and FC Köln are also interested, with Köln’s bid of €4m (£3.4m) already rejected.

Hacken is reportedly targeting around €7m (£5.9m) plus bonuses.

Why is Anderson attracting interest from Celtic and Rangers?

Celtic and Rangers involved in big record story
Celtic and Rangers involved in big record story

Silas Andersen has been one of the most consistent midfielders in the Danish league since last season. Although his physical profile is immediately imposing at 1.90 metres, he is much more technical than many might expect.

The Denmark U21 international is comfortable carrying the ball through the midfield and regularly beats opponents off the dribble. His control in tight spaces is another strong point, especially for a player of his frame.

Still, it’s defensively where Anderson makes the biggest impact. FootyStats data shows that he wins an average of about nine duels per game and completes about 2.4 tackles per match.

There is also offensive contribution in his game. Anderson leads the way with goals and assists, and Hacken believes there is still significant room for development.

The record state Sporting sees him as a medium-term project rather than a direct Replacement for Morten Hjulmand.

It could also be a good fit for Celtic and Rangers, who have shown a willingness to recruit young Scandinavian talents with resell potential in recent years.

what happens next

Silas Anderson’s situation is now likely to develop rapidly. Haken is aware that a number of clubs are circling, and the rejected Koln offer has already helped set a tough asking price.

For Celtic and Rangers, the attraction is obvious. Anderson combines physicality, defensive reliability and technical quality, while still being young enough to develop further.

A fee of around €7m (£5.9m) would still represent a large investment in Scottish football terms. However, growing Bundesliga and Portuguese interest could push both Glasgow clubs to make a decision sooner rather than later.

凯尔特人队与流浪者队争夺中场球员的转会战 – 头版故事

凯尔特人和 丹尼·罗尔的 流浪者队预计将在今年夏天重塑部分中场,尤其是欧洲足球再次增加对球队体能的要求。

近年来,从斯堪的纳维亚半岛招募球员也成为凯尔特人和流浪者队熟悉的路线。这有助于解释为什么塞拉斯·安德森现在牢牢地受到他们的关注。

这位21岁的BK哈肯中场球员自上赛季以来已经悄然成为丹麦联赛中表现最可靠的球员之一。他的防守强度、带球能力和控球冷静的结合现在吸引了多个国家的兴趣。

据葡萄牙媒体报道 记录凯尔特人队和流浪者队都在密切关注安德森,里斯本竞技队正在努力签下这位中场球员。

葡萄牙报纸解释说,葡萄牙体育已经就潜在转会事宜与哈肯进行了初步接触。汉堡和科隆足球俱乐部也对此感兴趣,科隆的 400 万欧元(340 万英镑)报价已被拒绝。

据报道,哈肯的目标是大约 700 万欧元(590 万英镑)加上奖金。

为什么安德森吸引凯尔特人队和流浪者队

凯尔特人队和流浪者队纳入大唱片故事
凯尔特人队和流浪者队纳入大唱片故事

塞拉斯·安德森是丹麦联赛自上赛季以来最稳定的中场球员之一。虽然他身高 1.90m,身材十分引人注目,但他的技术水平却比许多人预期的要高得多。

这位丹麦U21国脚能够轻松地带球穿过中场,并经常通过运球击败对手。他在狭小空间内的控制力是另一个强项,特别是对于具有他身材的球员来说。

尽管如此,安德森影响最大的还是防守端。 FootyStats 数据显示,他平均每场比赛获胜约 9 场,每场比赛完成约 2.4 次铲球。

他的比赛中也有进攻贡献。安德森贡献了进球和助攻,哈肯相信仍有很大的发展空间。

创纪录的体育运动将他视为一个中期项目,而不是直接的 莫滕·胡曼德 (Morten Hjulmand) 的替代者

这可能也适合凯尔特人队和流浪者队,他们近年来都表示愿意招募具有转售潜力的年轻斯堪的纳维亚人才。

接下来会发生什么

塞拉斯·安德森 (Silas Andersen) 的情况现在看来可能会迅速发展。哈肯知道有几家具乐部正在考虑收购,而被拒绝的科隆报价已经帮助确定了一个粗略的要价。

对于凯尔特人和流浪者来说,吸引力是显而易见的。安德森将身体素质、防守可靠性和技术质量结合在一起,同时还很年轻,可以进一步发展。

700万欧元(590万英镑)左右的费用对于苏格兰足球来说仍然是一笔相当大的投资。然而,德甲和葡萄牙日益增长的兴趣可能会促使格拉斯哥两家具乐部尽快做出决定。

Shohei Ohtani 會同時成為兩方面的佼佼者嗎?

雖然魯斯在那裡充分利用了他的擊球數,但他仍然僅限於在投手丘上開始和代擊,因為直到兩年後的 1918 年賽季,他才在左外野打了第一局。

正是在那個賽季,魯斯開始徹底改變這項運動,他以 11 支全壘打領先聯盟,開始成為史上最偉大的重擊手。

到 1920 年,露絲不再是波士頓紅襪隊的成員,他也不再投球。在他與洋基隊的第一個賽季中,人們認為魯斯的球棒比他的手臂更有價值,因此他放棄了投球,轉而專注於成為棒球界最好的擊球手。

直到露絲放棄投球後,他才充分發揮了擊球手的潛力,在 1920 年和 1921 年連續兩年打出了 50 小時的賽季成績。露絲在 14 年的時間裡 13 次在 OPS 上領先聯盟,成為聯盟有史以來最偉大的重擊手。

如今,大谷在遊戲界並沒有太多同時代人。賈奇可能是唯一的例外,因為這位洋基隊重擊手是在 2022 年 MVP 爭奪戰中成功將大谷從王座上擊敗的人。

Judge在過去兩個賽季中均在wRC+上領先聯盟,在過去四個賽季中也有3個賽季領先,唯一的例外是在2023年,當時Judge因臀部受傷缺席了比賽,而Ohtani則以180 wRC+領先聯盟。

大谷在那一年的 23 場先發比賽中自責分率為 3.14,三振率為 31.5%。

2023 年 7 月 27 日,大谷在雙打比賽的第一場比賽中對底特律老虎隊投出絕殺。大谷只失掉一安打,三振八次,這仍然是他職業生涯中唯一一場完整的比賽。

Rumor reveals 2 possible landing spots for Jason Kidd after Mavs firing, including West rival

After he was surprisingly fired by the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night, a new report has revealed a pair of teams that may soon request an interview with the Hall of Famer.

Before the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers square off in a wild Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals inside Madison Square Garden, the Mavericks dropped a bombshell on the basketball world when reports surfaced that they had fired their head coach after five seasons.

Kidd led the team to the NBA Finals two years ago, and despite having four years and $40 million left on his contract after signing an extension through 2024, NBA insider Marc Stein claims that the new Mavs head of basketball operations, Masai Ujiri, wanted a “clean slate” after taking the job a few weeks ago.

It now means that a respected head coach, who was a great player as a player, is available to NBA teams, with or without an opening. Still, it’s quite possible that the 53-year-old takes a break and waits for the first opportunity to emerge after stints with the Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks and Mavericks.

Could the Magic and Trail Blazers make Jason Kidd their next coach?

If he does interview, Steen pointed to a pair of teams that would make sense as landing spots for Kidd — first, the Orlando Magic. An NBA insider claims the team had serious interest in Kidd ahead of the 2021 season. And the same top decision-makers — head of basketball operations Jeff Weltman and top adviser John Hammond — who loved him then still hold those roles.

Another possible option for Kidd may surprise some people. “Kidd also has a long-standing relationship with Tom Dundon, the new owner of the Portland Trail Blazers, who has deep ties to Dallas.” The billionaire made his fortune in Big D, and the 10-time All-Star is a basketball legend in the city. So it makes sense that they have crossed each other’s paths over the years and formed a friendship.

Possibly the biggest obstacle to Kidd going to Portland is that all reports claim Dundon is looking to hire a new head coach on the cheap. The former Mavericks head coach is probably well out of his price range. However, with $40 million still coming his way, Kidd might be willing to take a discount for a friend and take a Trail Blazers team with a good young core.

Chelsea express interest in signing Manchester City star in surprise move

chelsea has expressed interest in signing of manchester city When Bernardo Silva leaves the Etihad this summer.

brand report When Chelsea are preparing themselves for a surprise move for the Portuguese midfielder He becomes a free agent at the end of the season..

Chelsea expressed interest

The newspaper reports that Atlético de Madrid are in the race for the Portuguese midfielder, along with Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Juventus and now Chelsea.

Atletico see Bernardo Silva as a replacement for Antoine Griezmann, and someone who can raise their competitive level next season.

The 31-year-old will be a free agent this summer and the Spanish side want to be contenders for his signature. His agent, Jorge Mendes, is working on various options for his client after leaving Manchester City.

There has been no suggestion of a move elsewhere in the Premier League yet, but Marca now report that Chelsea have ‘already expressed’ their interest in him. There is no mention yet of the extent of that contact.

George Mendes connection

Mendes has clients at Stamford Bridge. He also represents Pedro Neto, while Strasbourg’s Valentin Barco is also part of their roster. The Argentine is expected to move to London this summer.

He is one of several Strasbourg players on his client list. This would suggest a working relationship with Chelsea’s owners Bluco. Maybe this is how contact happened.

Either way, it appears that Chelsea have put themselves in the mix for the Manchester City star. A move to Stamford Bridge would certainly be unexpected given the interest across Europe.

But Chelsea have been called upon to add experience to their squad to help their young stars develop. Bernardo Silva, with his experience at Manchester City, would certainly fit that profile.

However, the question remains whether he wants to stay in England, or continue his career elsewhere after his long stay at the Etihad.

富勒姆球星认为他需要在俱乐部再呆一年——克雷文小屋的需求得到满足

富勒姆 球星卡尔文·巴西相信他需要在阿贾克斯再呆一年才能真正确立自己的地位,并从荷兰队的经历中学习。

Ajax Showtime 报告 今天富勒姆后卫的评论。他一直在 Ziggo Sport 节目 Kick ‘t Met 中发表讲话。在此期间,他反思了自己在阿姆斯特丹的不成功经历。

Ajax 困难

这名后卫在伊布罗克斯队的史蒂文·杰拉德手下给人留下了深刻的印象,并于 2022 年以 2300 万欧元的价格从流浪者队加盟荷兰队。

计划是让他接替利桑德罗·马丁内斯。这位深受球迷喜爱的阿根廷人在那个夏天离开加盟曼联之前已经成为俱乐部的关键球员。

但卡尔文·贝西(Calvin Bassey)未能成功取代他。相反,他在阿贾克斯度过了艰难的一年,期间他经常受到批评,即使是最微小的错误也常常会导致分析和进一步的批评。

一年后他离开加盟富勒姆,并成为马尔科·席尔瓦麾下的关键球员。现年 26 岁的他对自己在阿贾克斯的时光进行了很好的反思,认为自己只是需要更多时间。

“这是战术方面的,了解你需要去哪里并知道你的下一次传球要去哪里,” 他说。

“在阿贾克斯,边后卫的表现更像是控球时的六号位,或者一旦你拿到球,他就会移动。所以,如果你在战术上理解它并且你知道你的下一次传球需要去哪里,那就会变得更容易。

“如果我的第一次接触是在外侧——这对我来说很自然,因为我希望边后卫在那里,我的传球路线立即被封锁,因为阿贾克斯的边后卫可以切入内线。”

富勒姆信心

在阿贾克斯困扰他的问题在富勒姆并没有显现出来。但他将其归因于不同的风格以及有时间适应富勒姆希望他踢球的方式。那段时间他在阿贾克斯得不到报酬。

“英格兰联赛对我来说更容易,因为我习惯了英格兰足球。” 他补充道。

“很多主教练都来自国外,我的是葡萄牙人,但这是我熟悉的体系。在阿贾克斯所做的事情需要时间。

“新球员需要更多的时间来适应。当你年轻的时候,当时我21或22岁,我可能需要另一个赛季来适应。就像在英格兰一样。

“我也需要在那里适应一年。在那之后,我踢了最多的比赛,并成为了俱乐部的年度最佳球员。”

这名后卫现在在英超联赛以及整个比赛中都感觉很舒服。他认为,这来自经验。这是他在阿贾克斯期间没有时间去学习的东西。

“我觉得我对比赛有了更好的理解。但这显然是因为你获得了经验,” 他总结道。

“知道自己做错了什么的唯一方法就是做错了。但这也与心态有关。你必须愿意犯错误,这样你才能进步。”

Rumor suggests there are 2 Dallas Mavericks targets to replace Jason Kidd, including Spurs coach

A new report sheds light on some coaches the Dallas Mavericks could soon target to replace former head coach Jason Kidd.

Before the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers squared off in a wild Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals inside Madison Square Garden, the Mavericks dropped a bomb on the basketball world. And that was the firing of their head coach after five seasons on the job.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Kidd led the team to the NBA Finals two years ago, and has four years and $40 million left on his contract after signing an extension through 2024. The new Mavs head of basketball operations, Masai Ujiri, wanted a “clean slate” after taking the job a few weeks ago.

Micah Nouri is among potential targets to become the next Dallas Mavericks coach

The talented executive isn’t rushing into making a move, so he likely has multiple candidates in mind to lead the franchise. Late Tuesday night, Steen offered up a pair of assistants who would likely be on Ujiri’s candidate list.

“The top candidates to replace Kidd were not immediately clear Tuesday night, but San Antonio’s Sean Sweeney and Minnesota’s Micah Norie — widely regarded across the league as future head coaches — are both known quantities in Dallas. Sweeney was a lead assistant on Kidd’s staff for the first four of his five seasons before Sweeney left to become an associate head coach in San Antonio; Norie served with the Raptors. “Worked with Ujiri during his first two stints in Toronto.”

-Mark Stein

As Steen noted, both have been linked to various head coaching jobs in recent years and come from two elite teams in the Western Conference. It’s also possible that Ujiri goes after more proven candidates like Billy Donovan, Jeff Van Gundy and Tom Thibodeau, who have all been linked to the Orlando Magic job in recent days.

杰登·桑乔一旦离开,今年夏天不太可能重返多特蒙德 阿斯顿维拉.

德国《图片报》鲁尔东站报道 经过几个月的考虑潜在交易后,多特蒙德现在不愿让他们的前球员回归。

过去几个月的报道明确表明他们正在考虑转会这名 26 岁的球员。他准备返回 曼联 赛季结束后,在阿斯顿维拉租借不成功后。

Manchester City told they have no chance of appointing a manager despite connections

Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola is set to leave the Premier League team after this season.

The Spaniard refused to discuss his future after Tuesday’s draw against AFC Bournemouth, which resulted in Manchester City losing the title to Arsenal.

Several claims in the UK and Spain insist that Guardiola’s time at the Etihad will soon be coming to an end.

Although there has been no official announcement from the manager or Manchester City, there have been several reports on who could replace Guardiola.

Reports indicate that Enzo Maresca is the favorite for the Etihad post. Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany is also a contender.

The Belgian had a long and successful career at Manchester City and was captain under Guardiola. He spent 11 years in England and returned to Anderlecht in 2019.

A year later, Kompany became their manager and left for Burnley in 2022. The Bavarian club appointed him as their manager in 2024 and they have won the Bundesliga twice so far.

Last October, the 40-year-old signed a contract extension until 2029. At that time, Sport Witness Covered claims from Germany This was done to prevent Manchester City from snatching him at some point.

The company’s Manchester City connection

The manager’s previous connections make him a likely candidate to replace Pep Guardiola.

this week’s edition sportimage There is a detailed interview with Bayern Munich chairman Herbert Hainer.

Sportbild was curious to hear from Heiner whether his team extended Vincent Kompany’s contract in October in order to prevent Manchester City from starting in attack.

Responding to that he said: “Our motivation for the extension was not to overtake Manchester City. We extended his contract because he is doing an excellent job and because we wanted him to stay with us for the long term.

“Maybe he will coach Manchester City someday, because he has played there before. His successful work usually attracts the attention of top clubs. He is young and has many years of coaching under his belt. But he and his family feel very comfortable in Munich.”

Bayern Munich denies sale of company

Asked if he could imagine Manchester City knocking on Kompany’s door, Herbert Hainer explained: “He’s welcome (laughs). With players, it’s often said: not for sale. And there’s no transfer fee for the company; he’s not for sale.”

“Vincent has a contract until 2029, which gives us security, and hopefully he’ll stay for a very long time. He’s made a name for himself here with us.”

This rules out the possibility of Kompany leaving Bayern Munich in the coming weeks.

“迫使我们反思”——伯恩茅斯的兴趣引起了对俱乐部决定的警惕

佛罗伦萨的尼科洛·福蒂尼已经成为了目标 伯恩茅斯,这引起了意大利的关注。

周二, 体育见证人 报道了樱桃队关于边后卫的初步讨论。此举的最终决定预计将由马尔科·罗斯做出,他将在竞选结束后上任。

这位20岁的球员是一名左后卫,但在右后卫位置上也有同样出色的表现。本赛季他主要踢左路,尽管紫百合队在保级上苦苦挣扎,但他在各项赛事中仅出场26次。

随着福蒂尼离开意大利的可能性越来越大,佛罗伦萨对这个想法感到震惊。

退出被视为失败的提醒

记者卢卡·卡拉迈接受采访 佛罗伦萨维奥拉 关于边后卫的情况。他表示,未能使用福蒂尼对佛罗伦萨来说影响很大。

“有时我们生活在我们的确定性之中,然后这些确定性就会被故事、谣言和转会猜测残酷地冲走。伯恩茅斯对福蒂尼的兴趣迫使我们反思。”

当被问到为什么意大利人没有得到应有的出场时间时,卡拉迈说道: “为什么我们不能积极评价这位天才?为什么一支正在为下赛季欧冠资格而奋斗的球队反而会直接追求这位天才呢?

“为什么我们在合同还剩一年的时候把他引进来,没有从技战术角度对他进行很好的评估,甚至没有创造经济效益?”

这位记者还猛烈抨击了从财务角度来看这种情况是一场灾难。

“今天,如果佛罗伦萨在这样的合同情况下出售福蒂尼,他们得到的可能还不到一半。”

我们的看法:卡拉迈提出了一个公平的观点

福蒂尼经历了佛罗伦萨青年队的训练,上赛季租借到尤文斯塔比亚期间给人留下了深刻的印象。

这不仅反映了佛罗伦萨,也反映了整个意大利足球。人们普遍偏爱经验丰富的球员,这意味着像福蒂尼和卡约德这样的年轻球员会错过上场时间。

伯恩茅斯应该利用这一点。福蒂尼的合同将于2027年到期,这看起来是一个很好的转会机会。

From Portugal: Fulham make last-ditch effort to keep Marco Silva – a sign of an improved transfer window

fulham The Portuguese media are describing it as an increasingly urgent effort to retain Marco Silva. Latest reports claim the club are now willing to make promises he had previously rejected in an attempt to stop him leaving this summer.

Fulham manager remains One of Benfica’s main goals If Jose Mourinho leaves for Real Madrid. There is now a growing feeling in Portugal that the coming days could be decisive.

according to to ballFulham are working hard behind the scenes to convince Silva to renew his contract and stay at Craven Cottage. Additionally, reports suggested that the London club were effectively ‘putting pressure’ on the manager for the decision, as they were trying to avoid losing him.

Crucially, the Portuguese newspaper claims Fulham are now ready for “Give Silva the things they didn’t give him last season”.

Although the report does not go into exact details, the suggestion is clearly linked to competitiveness and squad planning. It also links to the scale of the summer rebuild that Silva wants before committing to his future.

Fulham are trying to change Silva’s mind

The latest update paints a picture of a club struggling to avoid a major managerial loss.

Silva has repeatedly stressed No decision has been taken yet. However, his recent comments in the British press indicate why this summer means so much to him.

“The coming summer will be one of the most important for the future of Fulham. We are going to analyze things and have some meetings. I need to remain calm to deal with many aspects.” he explained.

This fits in perfectly with the latest Portuguese claims.

According to him, Fulham continues to insist on renewal, while also promising to provide guarantees about the team’s competitiveness moving forward. These discussions are said to be creating real doubts in Silva’s mind about leaving.

The timing is crucial as Fulham are entering a defined transfer window. Silva has stabilized the club in the Premier League, but it is clear he wants stronger support if he wants to continue leading this project for the long term.

Benfica waits for the mourinho domino

Meanwhile, at Benfica, Mourinho is effectively waiting for the situation to fully unfold before making his move.

Portuguese reports continue to insist that Benfica hope that Mourinho will accept Florentino Pérez’s offer to return to Madrid. Once that happens, Benfica are expected to formally move for Marco Silva.

The report states that Benfica are ready to offer Silva a two-year contract as part of a sporting project designed to reclaim the Portuguese title. Furthermore, the project focuses on returning strongly to the Champions League.

Silva’s relationship with Benfica director general Mario Branco has again been highlighted as a key factor. The two previously worked together at Estoril and are seen internally as capable of quickly orchestrating the next phase of the club’s rebuilding.

add to that The air journey that mourinho and silva took Together for London. With this, you will have a lot to elaborate on.

Decision may come soon

The newspaper claims Silva could be ready to announce his decision after the final Premier League match against Newcastle on Sunday.

This would explain why Fulham are now moving so aggressively to resolve the situation.

There is another layer to Portugal’s reporting. While Ruben Amorim reportedly has strong support internally at Benfica, A Bola says he currently has no plans to coach next season unless a major foreign offer suddenly arrives.

that’s contradictory Correio da Manha’s claim That Amorim is their priority target.

Furthermore, it makes Silva look like Benfica’s most realistic option – until a late push from Fulham, and the promise of a big future, manages to change his mind.

来自葡萄牙:富勒姆最后一搏试图留住马尔科·席尔瓦——暗示更好的转会窗口

富勒姆 葡萄牙媒体称,他们正在为留住马尔科·席尔瓦做出越来越紧迫的努力。新的报道称,俱乐部现在愿意提供他们之前拒绝的承诺,试图阻止他今年夏天离开。

富勒姆主帅留任 本菲卡的主要目标之一 如果何塞·穆里尼奥前往皇家马德里。葡萄牙现在越来越感觉未来几天可能是决定性的。

根据 到球富勒姆正在幕后努力说服席尔瓦续约并留在克雷文小屋。此外,报告称伦敦俱乐部有效地“迫使”主教练做出决定,因为他们试图避免失去他。

重要的是,葡萄牙报纸声称富勒姆现在准备 “给席尔瓦上赛季他们没有给他的东西”

虽然报告没有详细说明,但该建议显然与竞争力和球队规划有关。这也与席尔瓦在承诺自己的未来之前想要的夏季重建规模有关。

富勒姆试图改变席尔瓦的想法

最新的更新描绘了一幅俱乐部争先恐后避免重大管理损失的画面。

席尔瓦多次强调 尚未做出决定。然而,他最近对英国媒体的评论暗示了为什么今年夏天对他如此重要。

“接下来的夏天对于富勒姆的未来来说将是最重要的夏天之一。我们将分析事情并举行一些会议。我需要保持冷静来处理很多方面。” 他解释道。

这与葡萄牙最新的说法完全吻合。

据他们透露,富勒姆继续坚持续约,同时也承诺保证球队未来的竞争力。据说这些讨论让席尔瓦对是否离开产生了真正的怀疑。

这个时机至关重要,因为富勒姆正在进入一个决定性的转会窗口。席尔瓦已经稳定了俱乐部在英超的地位,但他清楚地意识到,如果他要继续长期领导该项目,他需要更强大的支持。

本菲卡等待穆里尼奥多米诺骨牌

富勒姆拼尽全力留住马尔科·席尔瓦
富勒姆拼尽全力留住马尔科·席尔瓦

与此同时,本菲卡实际上正在等待穆里尼奥的情况完全展开,然后再采取行动。

葡萄牙报道继续坚称本菲卡希望穆里尼奥接受弗洛伦蒂诺·佩雷斯返回马德里的提议。一旦发生这种情况,本菲卡预计将正式晋级马尔科·席尔瓦。

该报道补充说,本菲卡准备向席尔瓦提供一份为期两年的合同,同时围绕夺回葡萄牙冠军展开一项体育项目。此外,该项目的重点是强势回归欧冠联赛。

席尔瓦与本菲卡总干事马里奥·布兰科的关系再次被强调为一个重要因素。两人此前曾在埃斯托里尔共事,被内部视为有能力快速组织俱乐部下一阶段重建的人。

添加到那个 穆里尼奥和席尔瓦乘坐的飞机旅行 一起去伦敦。有了这个,你就有很多需要阐述的了。

决定可能很快就会到来

该报称席尔瓦可能准备在周日对阵纽卡斯尔的英超最后一场比赛后宣布他的决定。

这可以解释为什么富勒姆现在如此积极地推动解决这一问题。

葡萄牙的报告还有另一层内容。据报道,鲁本·阿莫里姆在本菲卡内部得到了强有力的支持,但阿博拉表示,他目前没有计划在下赛季担任教练,除非突然有重大外国提议到来。

这矛盾了 Correio da Manhã 的主张 阿莫林是他们的首要目标。

此外,这让席尔瓦看起来越来越像本菲卡最现实的选择——除非富勒姆的最后推动和更大未来的承诺设法改变他的想法。
