Manchester United Forward Matheus Cunha has become one of the faces of the club’s revival this season. Now, the Brazilian media is pushing for that situation to continue at the World Cup.

Brazilian journalist Fernando Callas used a column Earth There’s no argument to be made that Cunha should start for Brazil under Carlo Ancelotti. This will also apply if Neymar is left on the bench.

This stance says a lot about how Cunha’s first year at Old Trafford is viewed at home.

Callas said that the attacker reached Manchester United surrounded by suspicion. Despite his impressive performances at Wolves, there were concerns about whether he would be able to maintain that level. This was especially true A club that exerts far more pressure and scrutiny.

According to the journalist, Cunha has responded to those concerns strongly.

“No Brazilian attacking player has had a better season this year than Matheus Cunha”Kallas said.

He also wrote that forward became “One of the pillars of United’s rebirth, along with compatriot Casemiro” After helping the club achieve third place. This was after fears of relegation the previous season.

The article also highlights Cunha’s influence in decisive matches. Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Aston Villa are all referred to as games where the Brazilian scored important goals or contributions.

Kallas pointed to the numbers as further evidence. Cunha scored 10 league goals this season after scoring 15 goals the previous campaign with Wolves. None of them were penalties.

For a player operating between midfield and attack, those figures are seen as typical Premier League production in Brazil. And this has happened consistently all season.

The Neymar debate takes center stage

Fernando Callas made the Neymar debate central to this article.

“This column is about Matheus Cunha, with many suggesting he should be benched to make room for Neymar.” He has written.

Then the journalist strongly supported ‘Selfless Manchester United player’ To retain his place in Brazil’s starting team.

“Regardless of who is behind him, Cunha was one of the best players of the season in the best league in the world. The idea of ​​not having him in Brazil’s starting team seems like complete madness to me.”

Of course, Neymar’s current physical condition has also been criticized. Callas wrote that there are “numerous inconsistencies” surrounding the veteran’s call-up and suggested he may have already been re-injured.

Why does Cunha fit into Ancelotti’s Brazil?

Fernando Callas also explained why he thinks Cunha is a good fit for Ancelotti’s tactical ideas.

The columnist praised the Manchester United player’s ability to carry the ball under pressure and carry the team forward in difficult moments.

“That’s an ant-man’s buffoon. Engine and escape valve,” Kailas wrote. “Basically, when the team is under pressure, you give the ball to Cunha and he will do everything possible to take it 10 to 15 meters closer to the box.”

The comparison then became even more interesting from a Premier League perspective.

Callas argued that Cunha could play a role similar to that performed by Jude Bellingham for Ancelotti at Real Madrid. He also claimed that the Brazilian movement could create a ‘perfect combination’ with Vinicius Junior.

Cunha arrived at Old Trafford with doubts over his fee and his potential at one of the biggest clubs in the world.

After one season, respected voices in Brazil are openly campaigning for him to be named ahead of Neymar for the national team.

Lutsharel is likely to remain an option for Geertruida liverpool “Arne Slott wanted him” at Anfield earlier this summer.

Journalist Valentin Driessen commented on the Sunderland loanee today, Relayed by Football Zone. That could see the defender move to Anfield this summer.

Sunderland exit on the cards

Lutsharel Geertuida has spent this season on loan at Sunderland from RB Leipzig. But the deal won’t be permanent this summer. A report last week said that Sunderland The decision has been taken to sign the 25-year-old rather than let him return to Germany.

However, the same report indicates that he is unlikely to remain at Leipzig. According to the information given in that report, inquiries have been made in the top five leagues of Europe.

Liverpool are one of the teams who have long been credited with interest. Indeed, multiple reports in England state that he was keen on the move in the January transfer window. That deal never happened because Sunderland refused to give approval for an early termination of his loan deal at the Stadium of Light.

But the Reds have been interested in him for some time. Geertruida previously worked with Arne Slot at Feyenoord. And various reports in 2024 made it clear that Liverpool were in the mix for him.

slot connection key

Now may be the ideal opportunity to revive that interest. And Driessen certainly believes a deal is possible.

“Arne Slot wanted him. Because Geertruida can play in different positions,” he said on De Telegraaf’s Kick-Off podcast.

“First at Leipzig, and now at Sunderland, he is struggling to survive. And they are not the best club in the world right now. And Liverpool is another step up. Can he handle it?”

“Maybe with a manager like Slott, with whom he has experience at Feyenoord. It will work. Let’s hope so for the boy, because potentially he is a good footballer.”

Crystal Palace fans can rest assured; Bayern Munich are not currently interested in Maxence Lacroix.

Sportbild reports on today’s situation. Journalist expert Christian Falk has weighed in on the recent headlines about the Crystal Palace defender.

Bayern angle blown out of proportion

Maxence Lacroix is ​​in focus again this week. Bayern Munich, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Liverpool are all eyeing a potential €40m move this summer, reports claim.

But according to Falk, the Bayern angle is being blown out of proportion.

“FC Bayern is not currently looking for another centre-back,” he said of the Crystal Palace player.

“In addition to Upamecano, Tah, Kim and Eto’o, Stanisic is also planned for the upcoming season in central defence.

“Sporting director Max Eberl sees more pressing needs in the team, namely a backup on the left wing and a new right-back, on which the Munich club’s limited transfer budget has to be spent.”

Falk goes even further. He stressed that Bayern’s stance was unlikely to change unless something dramatic happened internally.

“Bayern wants to save money,” He added.

“Their stance will only change if Kim approaches the Bayern owners with a desire to leave and offers a transfer fee. This has not happened yet.”

A Premier League regular, but not Bayern-bound

Christian Falk’s news regarding the situation at Bayern Munich will certainly be good news for Crystal Palace.

Getting a major club off the list of interested clubs would be a boost, even if they face a battle to keep hold of the 25-year-old Frenchman this summer.

His consistency in England has cemented his reputation and there is likely to be interest either way.

In fact, it would be surprising if he wasn’t the next high-profile departure, especially if he goes to the World Cup with France. He is certainly looking forward to making it to the tournament this summer.

But have to switch to Bayern Munich ‘No solid possibility’ For now. According to Falk, his priorities lie elsewhere.

Christian Romero has become a pivotal figure at Tottenham Hotspur over the last few months. Now the chances of him leaving the club in the summer are increasing.

The Argentine has also contributed negatively for Spurs in recent months. Against Nottingham Forest, he was criticized for a costly error which cost the opposition a second goal. This happened during and at a crucial point in an important match.

This has become a pattern of the season for the defender and his teammates. Romero is one of those who have served various suspensions throughout the campaign.

His boisterousness has also come under the microscope, even though his ability has never really been in question.

sports witness has covered discussions of a possible transfer to Atletico Madrid, a claim that has been made for over a year. Now, the idea of ​​a return to Serie A is also gaining momentum.

Roma, Napoli and Inter are interested

Journalist Armando Areniello has now reported on Cristian Romero’s future at Tottenham. He clarified that Inter Milan, AS Roma and Napoli are all interested in the Argentina international.

Areniello believes- in the worst case scenario arianapoli – That ‘Tottenham value him at €50-60m’, especially given that his contract expires in 2029.

The deal is likely to be complex for Italian sides, who do not always have the financial resources. Romero has played at Genoa and Atalanta (on loan from Juventus) but his value could be much higher than the Serie A clubs right now.

Spain appears to be the more likely destination

Furthermore, it appears that the journalist is underestimating Tottenham’s value. Since Romero has a long-term contract and is the club captain, it is unlikely that they will let him leave cheaply.

Even if they are demoted, they will still be able to command higher fees. There will be pressure, especially players having to take pay cuts, but Spurs will apply more pressure.

That’s why Italian sides must be on the periphery for his signature. The player has already impressed in Serie A, having also impressed in the Champions League at Atalanta.

Atletico Madrid are used to spending big money on players, with the defender also expressing a desire to move to Spain. All this should make Los Rojiblancos the favorites to sign the 27-year-old.

The club has a good record of signing Argentinian international players. Diego Simeone is also in attendance. Therefore, should Cristian Romero leave Tottenham in the summer it is difficult to see Serie A as a possible destination.

tottenham hotspur captain cristian romero Became the subject of harsh criticism from Brazilian journalist Fred Caldera after the club’s Champions League match against Atlético Madrid.

However, the reporter later admitted that he had misjudged the situation.

Caldera, who covers European football tnt sports brazilRomero was initially criticized for not talking to the press after the game.

From his position in the mixed zone, the journalist believed that the Argentina international had avoided media duties despite wearing the captain’s armband.

Speaking immediately after the match, Caldera argued that the Tottenham captain should have faced the journalists, especially during a difficult moment for the team.

“Romero doesn’t deserve to wear the captain’s armband at Tottenham,” He said. “It’s very easy to be brave when things are going well. Cristian Romero should have given an interview today. It was his responsibility as captain.”

The journalist also compared Romero’s absence to the behavior of other leaders in English football.

“When you see Virgil van Dijk speaking at Liverpool, or players who have faced the media during difficult years at Manchester United, you value it.” He added.

At the time, Caldera believed that Romero had simply decided not to appear in the mixed zone. According to him, the only Tottenham players he saw give interviews were Archie Gray, Jade Spence and Kevin Densow.

He went further in his criticism and claimed that the defender was far from helping the club during difficult times.

“He’s not the main culprit for what’s happening, but he’s also not the guy who’s helping. At the very least he should be confronting the situation, and he’s not doing that.”

The journalist later clarified the situation

However, a few hours later, Caldera publicly corrected my assessment.

Posting on social media, the reporter admitted that Cristian Romero had suffered an unfair decision after a head collision with Joao Palinha during the match.

“I wronged Romero,” Caldera wrote. “I had to leave the pitch a few minutes before the final whistle to be in time for the post-match interview, so I didn’t see the one-on-one confrontation between Romero and Palinha. Obviously he was in no condition to give an interview.”

The clarification significantly changed the context of Romero’s absence from the media arena, suggesting that the defender’s failure to speak was for medical reasons rather than a decision to avoid questions.

A blunt assessment of the situation at Tottenham

Caldera also extended his criticism to the wider situation at Tottenham and the decisions surrounding manager Igor Tudor. Goalkeeper Antonin Kinski.

Commenting on the consequences of the heavy defeat, a Brazilian reporter said that Tudor should have already lost his job after the match. In his view, the Croatian manager should have been sacked “before the plane landed in London”.

Caldera then made an even harsher assessment of the club’s current level.

“Since I came to England – it will be ten years in September – I have never seen a Big Six team like this,” He said. “This version of Tottenham is the worst Big Six team I’ve seen.”

He compared the situation to the difficult moments experienced by Manchester United in recent years, but argued that Tottenham’s problems currently run even deeper.

“I know Manchester United also had very bad moments, but it’s a wandering soul. Tottenham is a living dead team.”

Caldera told the South American audience that the situation has become so worrying that relegation from the Premier League is a real threat.

“If I’m a West Ham player – the first club in the relegation zone, just one point behind Tottenham with nine rounds remaining – I’ll be rubbing my hands together and sharpening the knives, because there’s still a direct match to come.”

Caldera also claimed that many teams outside the traditional elite are currently playing better football than Spurs.

“It’s hard to find anyone who plays worse than Tottenham. In the Premier League, no one. Even Wolverhampton plays better than Tottenham at the moment.”

For the journalist, this is difficult to reconcile with the financial strength of the club.

“It’s very serious what’s happening. I can’t believe I’m saying this about a club with the ninth-highest revenue in the world that is likely to be relegated.”

Real Madrid and Manchester City facing each other again in the Champions League is nothing more than the result of both sides’ good performances in Europe.

That’s according to journalist Axel Torres, who is fed up with people thinking otherwise. Cadena SER covered his comments today after an appearance on El Larguero.

Manchester City is set to face Real Madrid in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League next month. Pep Guardiola’s side travel to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on March 11^th before hosting the Spanish giants at the Etihad on the 17th^th march.

At present, this encounter is an annual event for both sides. This meeting marks the fifth consecutive year and seventh time in seven seasons that these two sides will meet in the competition.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City again

It has been an interesting rivalry which is completely balanced at present. They have five wins each and five draws, while both have scored 29 goals.

Real Madrid have held the lead over the past two years, winning 6-3 on aggregate last season in the playoffs after a 4-3 win on penalties in the quarter-finals in 2024.

Some fans reacted negatively to the draw, dashing any hopes of something different for both clubs. However, Torres is not having it, nor is he accepting any suggestions of a UEFA fix.

“I’m surprised that we’re talking as if it’s a freak of UEFA that Real Madrid and Manchester City are against each other,” he said.

uefa question

“Both this season and last season, it is determined by their league position. If they had not finished in this position, they would not have had the chance to face each other. There is nothing more than that.

“They have faced each other a lot, yes. But we used to say this was the great Clasico of Europe, and it is getting boring.

“In reality, there could be six Barça-Atlético de Madrid matches. Two in La Liga, two in the Copa del Rey, and maybe two in the Champions League. There will be six and they are welcome because they are also good matches.”
