Citação de bug, há 2 minutos:

A ficar assim, 10 pontos de avanço do City para o 2º lugar.

Nem tinha noção que já seriam 10 com este empate. Ficam com uma mão e 3 dedos na taça se isto se mantiver assim.

o campeonato já está mais do que entregue

Vem a CAN ou seja sem Salah e Mane

Sim vai ser muito dificil mas calha o City de ter 4 ou 5 casos de COVID em jogadores importantes e pode vir por aí abaixo. Nunca se sabe, falta muito ainda.

NOVO CAPÍTULO NA RUPTURA ENTRE LUKAKU E O CHELSEA

Poderá estar prestes a partir a corda entre o Chelsea e Romelu Lukaku. Depois de, em entrevista à Sky Sport, o avançado belga ter dito que está infeliz em Londres e quer voltar ao Inter Milão, Thomas Tuchel deixou-o fora da convocatória para o jogo com o Liverpool, que terminou com empate a dois golos em Stamford Bridge.

Durante a partida, Lukaku, 28 anos, tratou de mudar a descrição no perfil das suas redes sociais, escrevendo nesse espaço que é, agora, jogador do Inter Milão.

Mais um capítulo numa novela que promete não ficar por aqui, sobretudo tendo em conta que o mercado de transferências (re)abriu agora…

O Lukaku não é um gajo politicamente correto. Já fez algumas declarações do gênero, mas não com esta gravidade. Já não sei ao certo mas lembro-me que teve uns stresses no United.

A patada na boca do Marotta ou quem foi que disse que o venderam por 100 milhões, contrataram o Dzeko a 0 e a qualidade é a mesma tá linda. Que figuras.

No golo do Pulisic o Van Dijk não podia ter feito mais?

Citação de Eden Hazard, há 13 horas:

Esqueceu-se de atacar o jogador. Para mim foi burro todos os dias. Correu em linha paralela ao jogador, parecia cansado e nem tentou incomodar o Pulisic.

Acho que, se pressionasse, talvez tivesse impedido o remate.

Citação

• Tuchel has confirmed that he has a meeting with Lukaku on Monday. He tried to downplay the situation during the Friday press conference, but he wasn’t happy. After the 2-2 draw with Liverpool, Tuchel insisted that “he was not personally angry with Lukaku,” that “we can handle it” and that he doesn’t feel “personally attacked.”
• Players have been discussing the interview, with an anonymous source claiming that none of them saw it coming or saw any indication that Lukaku was unhappy. Another source questioned the timing of the move near the start of the January transfer window, speculating that Lukaku may be looking for a move.
• There is “little support” for his actions in the dressing room. Tuchel appears to have the backing of the squad for how he dealt with Lukaku. Senior players Jorginho, Azpi, Kante, and Rudiger where consulted before his decision to omit Lukaku from the squad for the Liverpool game.
• Tuchel did not know where Lukaku was during the game. He was not present in the dugout. Lukaku is still expected to be at the training ground on Monday. It is still to be determined w/n Lukaku gets recalled against Spurs for the midweek fixture. Regarding the Monday interview, Tuchel says that he wants to evaluate the siruation, understand what he said and why we said it. From there the decision on the Spurs game will be made.
• Unnamed sources claim that Lukaku was advised against moving back to Chelsea, that he has struggled to settle off the pitch in addition to his performances on the pitch.
• Full quote from Sky Italia interview: “I’m not happy with the situation and that’s only natural,” Lukaku said. “The head coach has decided to play a different system and I mustn’t let up. I need to keep working hard and be professional. I’m not happy with the situation but I am a grafter and I mustn’t let up. I think the coach can get me playing more but I have to respect the choices he makes. All I have to do is keep working and wait for my moment.” The focus of Lukaku’s interview with Sky Italia wasn’t supposed to be Chelsea. The purpose behind it was to apologise to Inter Milan fans for the way he left in the summer.
• For the first time, Lukaku revealed he had asked Inter for an extension. “Because I’m 28, my family was happy in Milan and I had (I still have) a flat in Milan. I said to myself: next year my son will come and live here. And my mother too. We’ll live all together in Milan. We’ll be happy.” Inter did not make the offer due to their financial problems, and a transition to a sustainable model.
• Lukaku was not happy when Inter declined to make an offer. His agent Federico Patorello said: That Inter didn’t make him an offer hurt Lukaku, who still follows the team and tunes in for every game. “Always. Always. Always. Always. Always. I watch all of them. When Inter touches your heart, it’s different. It’s different.”
• Conte leaving was not a factor in his own decision to move. “No,” Lukaku said. “The only reason was the extension. I knew that if Simone Inzaghi were to become our coach we would have still had a chance to win. So it wasn’t because Conte left. I think if they had offered me a contract extension, you and me would not be talking in London right now, but in Milan.”
• Antonio Conte back in September said that Chelsea were not getting the most out of Lukaku. “He’s a threat in the penalty area and you have to try and keep him away from it. But he’s also able to come into midfield and unleash his speed: he can be a focal point in the box but also break from midfield with his pace and quality. He’s also great at laying on assists.” Lukaku set up 11 league goals for Inter in Serie A last season ... the only other player I see with this skill set,” Conte said, “is (Erling) Haaland. That’s why I followed (Lukaku) for such a long time. I asked Chelsea to sign him and Juve too back when he was at West Brom. His team-mates need to figure out how to get service into him. Compared with last year they now have a focal point in Lukaku and have to adapt. When that happens, Chelsea will become one of the favourites to win the Champions League.”
• Since Lukaku’s interview and his return from a combination of injury and COVID-19 it is evident that Chelsea’s record signing and Tuchel have worked at better understanding what one wants from the other. After the Aston Villa game, Lukaku told ESPN Brasil: “Me and the coach, we had a couple of conversations about whatever he wanted from me. Obviously, I told him I’m multi-dimensional. It’s just about having a bit of clarity about how he wants to use me. And whatever he wants from me.“
• Chelsea were surprised at the interview. This rather bypassed the standard interview process implemented at the club, where players are allocated to rights holders or specific media outlets on request and, generally, at set times around games.
• Tuchel has made such a point of praising Lukaku’s impact off the pitch since he returned to the club. He has spoken of the player’s “big personality”, how he helps set the standard down at Cobham, and singled out his leadership qualities as someone from whom the younger members of the squad can draw inspiration. In that context, the depth of his own disappointment at the release of an “unhelpful” interview was profound.
• Lukaku turned down an offer from Manchester City after his first season at Inter. “Why? Because I didn’t want to go. I didn’t think it was the right time. It was the first year and I didn’t want to leave Inter. I wanted to do something good for Inter because Inter saved my career.” Chelsea do not appear to have been in his plans until the opportunity to return to Stamford Bridge presented itself. “In my head I was thinking about doing a few more years at Inter. For me, in football there are three top teams: Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. The plan was to build on his legacy at Inter and then “if one day there was the possibility, to go to one of these teams. Only then would I have left Inter but first I wanted to renew (my contract). But it didn’t happen and so I said to myself: if it doesn’t happen, there’s only one team where I can imagine myself and that’s Chelsea. Why his old club apparently didn’t figure in his initial career plan post-Inter, it can perhaps be put down to Lukaku not expecting the opportunity to return to the Bridge to materialise.
• When Sky Italia asked why things turned out the way they did in the summer, Lukaku said: “Because I grew up supporting Chelsea. They were the team I loved as an 11-year-old. There is footage of when I went to Stamford Bridge for the first time with school. I was 15 or 16.” The challenge also appealed to him. “The fact I didn’t win anything in eight years in England bothered me, it bothered me a lot. Having the chance to come back here and play in the shirt of the team I supported as a kid, well, it was hard to say no.”
• Lukaku has failed to fully settle for multiple reasons. The transfer was finalised after pre-season so Tuchel didn’t get a chance to work on the system with Lukaku in it for a few vital weeks in training. He went 10 appearances and three months without finding the net, which was partly due to being injured for over five weeks with an ankle problem sustained on international duty for Belgium. Aside from fitness issues, Chelsea were struggling to get the ball or create chances for the striker. It had become a talking point. It is understood the player felt like he was playing in a tactical straitjacket.
• It is believed Lukaku has also been struggling on the domestic front. Unlike in Italy, when his mother and son were living with him, the forward has been living on his own in England and has been finding that difficult. Due to contracting COVID-19 earlier this month and having to isolate for 10 days, he missed his son’s birthday and had to spend Christmas by himself too.
• There had been reasons to be positive lately though and as it turned out, after he’d already expressed discontent to Sky Italia. Some of that angst had been sparked by getting just an eight-minute cameo against former club Manchester United.
• With Inter top of the table, through to the Champions League knockout stages for the first time in a decade, and playing as well as they have done for as long as anyone can remember, a common response to the interview is that Lukaku misses Inter more than Inter misses him right now. If Lukaku were top of the scoring charts in the Premier League, maybe fans would be more conflicted. Instead, his successor Edin Dzeko is matching Lukaku’s goal output and while he may be a short-term solution at his age, the Bosnian is venerated in Italy as one of the best strikers of his generation.
• Regardless of how the ultras and the media feel, what Lukaku did for Inter will not be forgotten. But a return to the club seems improbable. The club is no longer in a position to spend like it used to when he first joined and reports are gathering momentum about owners Suning once again looking for a buyer for the Nerazzurri.
• There is already an indication that as far as punishments go, that being left out of the Liverpool squad is the last of it and the matter has been considered dealt with.
