He’s lost that hunger, today non-existent.”He was nasty, played on the edge but today, non-existent for a year or two.”DEVIL INSIDEBut Tottenham boss Pochettino says the England ace still has that fire and backed his man in the face of criticism.He said: “It is still there inside Dele. We spoke to him about improving different areas. But for sure, the devil is going to appear again.”I don’t know when. But for sure it will. If you go back, we all criticised him, but I liked that Dele Alli. Sometimes players being a bit naughty makes that difference.”We know very well Dele is going to be back. When Dele was scoring goals, it was easy to embrace him.”Now, when he is maybe not at his best, that is the most important time to embrace him and say, “I trust you and I know you will get back to your best”.”It is too easy now to criticise him.

–OUTCOME: UNIONISTAS DE SALAMANCA, 1 – REAL MADRID, 3 (0-1, at rest).– ALIGNMENTS. Photo: EFE Those of Zidane go to eighths after being tied for a few minutes (1-3)So many of Bale, who was injured, Gongora (p.p.) and Brahim for whites He spent half an hour of the game and James, with an action of many carats, put the leather on the crossbar, but there was no way to expand the account. Without fuss, but with possession and authority, those of Zidane wasted up to three good occasions not to give life to their rival in the second round. And that was what happened after two opportunities sent to limbo. To top it off, Bale was no longer in the field suffering from another muscle injury.The first one was from James, who ran into Brais at 49 minutes in a very clear shot. That was when Jabi Luaces’ team found the lamp genie in an action that the people of Salamanca will never forget. Romero took the ball in three quarters of the field, caracoleó in front of Militao and found the hole to overcome Areola.The goal spurred Unionists, but Madrid did not succumb to its charms. Those of Zidane relied on the verticality of Vinicius and the Carvajal climbs to recover the mordant they had lost until then and just five minutes later they could find so much tranquility.Brahim seizes the opportunityMarcelo focused on the area and Brahim, just entered, finished off badly, but Gongora put it in his goal in an attempt to clear the ball. From there, the Unionists got rid of the white area, but it was Brahim who kissed the nets again. This time on a personal play on the right side.The Malaga whipped with his right leg and closed a game that will be historic for a club of only six years of life. The night of this January 22 will always be remembered because – for five minutes – they had against the ropes the 13 times European champion. Blessed new format, blessed Copa del Rey.DATA SHEET.
Real Madrid confirmed their classification for the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey after getting rid of the Salamanca Unionists on Wednesday (1-3) in a discreet match of the merengue team that solved the goals of Gareth Bale and Brahim Díaz after the scare of the locals, who came to match the tie for five minutes.From 57 to 62, the Pistas de Salamanca vibrated as they had not done in the last two decades. The visit of the white galaxy became madness with the goal of Álvaro Romero. A left-footed shot from the heart of the area that slipped through the entire Areola squad. Fear was present for those of Zidane, especially for the previous notice to Barça.Real Madrid was warned to the Salamanca turf, but soon any hint of anxiety was removed from the middle. The person in charge was Bale, who achieved the 0-1 before reaching the equator of the first half. The Welshman connected with a right leg a center of James and his shot was introduced by the goalkeeper’s stick.The goal, which was not celebrated by the ‘Cardiff Express’, served to appease the spirits of the Unionists and also those of all the noisy local stands. In fact, that launch of Bale gave more dominance in the final meters and Benzema forgave the second after a shot that hit the side of the net. UNIONISTS: Brais; Gallego, Zubiri, Ayoze (Amouzou, min. 86), Góngora, Piojo; Javi Navas (Diego González, min. 80), Guille Andrés, De la Nava, José Ángel; and Garrido (Romero, min. 55).REAL MADRID: Areola; Carvajal, Militao, Nacho, Marcelo; Casemiro, Valverde, James (Isco, min. 80); Vinicius, Bale (Brahim, min. 53) and Benzema (Jovic, min. 75).– GOALS:0 – 1, min. 18, Bale.1 – 1, min. 57, Romero.1 – 2, min. 62, Gongora, in own goal.1 – 3, min. 92, Brahim.–REFEREE: Melero López (C.

The Alavés forward (31 years, 8 goals this season and 20 million clause) seems to be the best placed player. The reason is that the Alavés could negotiate a price below its termination clause, which neither Getafe nor Girona seem to be willing to do as reported by the Cadena SER.The technical secretariat of the club also speaks of other options that have not transcended the press and that could interest the technical culé. The Cup match in San Mamés showed, among other things, that Barcelona has an urgent need to strengthen its front. The lack of effectiveness against the front of the Blaugrana strikers condemned the set of Setién to remain attached to the competition. Today, Barça at the request of its technician has activated the search for an attacker who occupies the place of the injured Ousmane Dembélé, which will be operated on Tuesday in Finland and who would be discharged, if the medical committee of the Spanish Football Federation accepts it.The casting of strikers, who must play in Spain or be without a team, seems to be reduced with each passing day. Two of the goals that Barça valued, such as Ángel del Getafe (32 years, 13 goals this season and 10 million clause) and the attacker of Girona Stuani (33 years, 20 goals this season and 25 million clause) seem to have remained lagging behind Regarding Lucas Pérez. In fact, Setién has requested the club to hire a striker to reinforce its workforce, although in public maintain the position that if no one arrives, trust what is there to move the season forward.
The victory in the Classic It was a relief in the offices of Bernabeu. It is true that after the game there are 12 days left to play and that five points of difference would have been salvageable. But it is also that they would have set the goal too uphill just before the difficult visit to Manchester to lift the 1-2 of the Champions League. Stay, for the second consecutive year, with no chance of winning the League and Champions in the month of March, would have shaken the foundations of the white stadium itself. The project would have been hanging by a thread …In the current Madrid there are seven players who are 30 years old or far outnumber them. They are Modric (34), Ramos (33), Benzema (32), Marcelo (31) and Bale, Kroos and Nacho (who are 30). Hazard already has 29 and two operations on the same ankle … On the contrary, the club has made a great investment in young players. They are the Vinicius (45 million, 19 years old), Rodrygo (40, 19 years old), Reinier (30, 18 years old), Brahim (20, 20 years old), (Jovic (60, 21 years old) or Kubo (18 years old, wine free). There are other young people who are already installed in the elite, such as Valverde (21 years old). But a second dry season would have prevented a smooth transition. Too much pressure for those young people and for the club itself.Manu Kingdom / SOPA Images via ZUMA & nbsp; (Manu Kingdom / SOPA Images via ZUMA) ‘); return false; “class =” item-multimedia “>Vinicius, in the Classic.03/01/2020 ONLY FOR USE IN SPAINManu Kingdom / SOPA Images via ZUMA (Manu Kingdom / SOPA Images via ZUMA) The victory in the Classic was balsamic. It cleared any doubts about future projects and left the possibility of winning the League very open. The three Champions in a row, curiously, they arrived in periods of low investment in Madrid players, who seemed to be in a time of contention to clear their accounts and thus obtain the loan for the stadium in the best conditions. In 15-16 they just came Kovacic (39) and Danilo (31) and won the Eleventh. In 16-17 he only came Morata for 30 million (and he won the TwelfthY The league). In 17-18 it only arrived The O (24) and Ceballos (16) and won the Thirteenth… The best came almost without investment, and that is exactly what Madrid needs, to gain time while the construction of the stadium is on its way and arrives Mbappé. The project of the future of Madrid is not so immediately corseted by the remodeling of the Santiago Bernabéu. The conditions under which the loan of money necessary to do the works has been closed are advantageous. You will have to pay one fixed annual fee of 29.5 million as of July 30, 2023 and until its maturity on July 30, 2049 (27 installments). The sports project could be more conditioned, even, by the strategy of try to undertake the signing of Mbappé in the summer of 2021, when the French star has only one year left on his contract and can come at an affordable price, being a player of his size He could be around 200 million (he is 21 years old by Hazard, one hundred million were paid and he was 29). It is a strong investment (you will also have to pay a salary according to your level).
Two penalties with the VAR. “The VAR is difficult. In general it is a good concept but that action with Diego Carlos always depends on the referee and on our penalty too. But in general the VAR is good and can help football a lot. ”Hush criticism. “In the life of football there are always criticisms. The fans want more, the sports director wants more, we also always. But we are calm, we are in a good position in the League, in the second round of Europe … Now we have very important games against Roma or the derby at home. We must trust us. ” LaLiga Santander* Data updated as of March 7, 2020 Vaclik, Sevilla goalkeeper, valued in Movistar the meeting of his team against Atlético: “We have one more point in a very difficult field. Only Barcelona has won this campaign here, Atlético has a very good team and the tie I think has been deserved. ”2-1. “Joao Felix is very good, he has a lot of quality. In the goal he is lucky because Koundé touches and the ball goes up. But Joao has a very good career ahead. ”

What I like is this, because this is having the ball “, stressed.“And then you played against them and you were 80 minutes behind the ball and you didn’t see it. That’s where I started to see tactical aspects and I started to analyze things and see them, and why this happens, and you start to realize what you like and fix an idea in your head. And it is the one I have followed, “he stressed.
