VIDEOCONFERENZA THIAGO MOTTA VIGILIA JUVENTUS-PSV EINDHOVEN 16-09-2024 “Non c’è più riposo”, neanche per le nostre Videoconferenze! Prendo in prestito le urla, ormai ben note, di Simon Colinet, uno dei due vice di Motta e preparatore atletico, cui auguro di lavorare meglio sui flessori, sui bicipiti femorali ed adduttori, con occhio ai quadricipiti, vista l’elevata intensità che pretende, così da…

Neymar scores stoppage-time wondergoal as PSG beat Strasbourg – European round-up | Football News
Neymar scores wondergoal in PSG win after being booed, Hazard makes debut for Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid shocked by Real Sociedad

Neymar celebrates after scoring a stoppage-time winner for PSG against Strasbourg
Neymar scored a breathtaking winner in the 92nd minute as Paris Saint-Germain beat Strasbourg 1-0 to stay top of Ligue 1.
The Brazilian was in PSG’s starting line-up for the first time this season after a summer of speculation linking him with a return to Barcelona, and he was booed by the club’s ultras as his name was read out before the game and whenever he touched the ball.
PSG 1-0 Strasbourg
Dijon 0-0 Nimes
Montpellier 2-1 Nice
Brest 0-0 Rennes
Bordeaux 2-0 Metz
But Neymar showed what he is capable of in stoppage time, meeting Abdou Diallo’s cross with an inch-perfect overhead kick, leaving Matz Sels stranded in the Strasbourg goal and earning all three points for PSG.
His spectacular finish was met with a mixture of cheers and boos by the home fans, and he looked to have scored a second just moments later before the goal was disallowed by VAR.

Hazard makes debut in Real Madrid win
Tumblr media
Eden Hazard was in the Real Madrid squad for the first time before his introduction
Eden Hazard made his Real Madrid debut as they survived a Levante comeback to win 3-2 in La Liga’s early kick-off.
Karim Benzema headed Real in front after 25 minutes when he met a cross from Dani Carvajal and the France forward struck again a few minutes later with a well-taken finish after latching on to a pass from James Rodriguez.
Brazil midfielder Casemiro stretched Real’s advantage right before half-time with a lung-busting run to meet a cross from compatriot Vinicius Jr, but Levante hit back shortly after the interval through former Real forward Borja Mayoral.
After half-time Hazard made his first appearance for the club from the bench, replacing Casemiro after an hour, having missed the first three league games of the campaign with a thigh strain.
Levante reduced the deficit to one goal with 15 minutes to go thanks to a near-post header from Gonzalo Melero and twice came close to levelling in stoppage time but Real scraped the victory to move on to eight points after four games.
Real Madrid 3-2 Levante
Leganes 0-3 Villarreal
Real Sociedad 2-0 Atletico Madrid
Barcelona 5-2 Valencia
Fati strikes again as Barca hit five
Tumblr media
Ansu Fati scored again for Barcelona
Teenager Ansu Fati stole the show again as Barcelona posted a convincing win over Valencia at the Nou Camp.
The 16-year-old became Barcelona’s youngest ever scorer when he netted against Osasuna prior to the international break and, pushed into the starting line-up, he needed less than two minutes to find the net again.
Fati then set up Frenkie De Jong for the second only four minutes later and, although defensively they were shaky again, Barcelona went on to claim a 5-2 win.
Lionel Messi was again missing with a calf injury, but Barca had no trouble creating chances, with Gerard Pique and substitute Luis Suarez scoring in the second half, the latter with a double to celebrate his return to fitness.
With Atletico Madrid beaten by Real Sociedad earlier in the day, Barca are now only two points behind the early pacesetters.

Diego Costa was on the losing side as Real Sociedad beat Atletico Madrid
Roared on by a record crowd in their revamped and completed stadium, Real Sociedad ended leaders Atletico Madrid’s 100 per cent start to season with a deserved 2-0 win.
Former Real Madrid player Martin Odegaard put the Basque side ahead in the first game at the renovated Reale Arena with a deflected shot in the 58th minute which completed a sweeping end-to-end attack.
Debutant Nacho Monreal doubled Sociedad’s advantage only three minutes later, pouncing on a fumble by Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak who later had to be substituted despite protests from the Slovenian after taking a blow to the head.
AZ 5-1 Sparta Rotterdm
Ajax 4-1 Heerenveen
VVV 2-1 Groningen
PSV 5-0 Vitesse
Utrecht 3-1 Emmen
Sarri takes charge as injury-hit Juventus draw
Tumblr media
Juventus couldn’t break the deadlock against Fiorentina
Maurizio Sarri hailed his side’s character but ended up counting the cost of a goalless draw at Fiorentina after taking charge of Juventus for the first time.
The former Chelsea coach had missed Juve’s first two games of the season due to a bout of pneumonia but he watched prospective injury problems pile up at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Danilo, Douglas Costa and Miralem Pjanic were all forced off early due to muscle issues with Pjanic, in particular, now a doubt for his side’s Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
Elsewhere in Serie A, Inter Milan beat 10-man Udinese 1-0, while Napoli secured a 2-0 victory over Sampdoria.
Fiorentina 0-0 Juventus
Napoli 2-0 Sampdoria
Inter Milan 1-0 Udinese
Bayern held again, Dortmund bounce back
Emil Forsberg equalised from the penalty spot as Bundesliga leaders RB Leipzig survived an early storm to earn a 1-1 draw against title rivals Bayern Munich.
Tumblr media
Emil Forsberg equalised from the spot
Robert Lewandowski had put Bayern in front within three minutes and the visitors had plenty of chances to increase their advantage before Forsberg responded in first-half injury time.
But Leipzig rose to the challenge in the second half and had a number of chances to go ahead before keeper Peter Gulacsi reacted brilliantly to save an injury-time effort from Niklas Sule.
Borussia Dortmund 4-0 Bayer Leverkusen
Mainz 2-1 Hertha Berlin
Augsburg 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Koln 0-1 Borussia Moenchengladbach
Union Berlin 1-2 Werder Bremen
RB Leipzip 1-1 Bayern Munich
Borussia Dortmund hit back from their shock defeat to Bundesliga new boys Union Berlin two weeks ago with a 4-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen.
Paco Alcacer eased the home side’s nerves when he swept home from an Achraf Hakimi cross just before the half-hour mark, and Marco Reus extended Dortmund’s lead after 50 minutes.
Late goals from Reus again and Raphael Guerreiro added some gloss for the scoreline and ensured the hosts were able to maintain the pressure on their title rivals.

“We want revenge” - Loads of Tottenham fans eye epic Champions League last 16 showdown
Spurs defied the odds as they battled their way into the Champions League knockout stages on Tuesday night thanks to a Lucas Moura late equaliser and PSV man Nick Viergever’s goal-saving slide tackle to deny Mauro Icardi in Group B’s other game – if the Argentine had scored, Mauricio Pochettino’s men wouldn’t have made it out of the group.
The results meant that the Lilywhites joined Barcelona in the last 16 on ‘goals for’ alone and fans were quick to debate who would be the most favourable opponents heading into the knockout stages.
Fellow Premier League clubs Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City all progressed too, with the latter topping their group, but the White Hart Lane faithful weren’t concerned about a clash with any of those just yet, with PSG, Porto, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Real Madrid to draw from.
The prospect of revenge against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juve appears too irresistible – the Serie A champions sent Spurs crashing out of the competition at the same stage last year.
You can find the best of the reaction on Twitter below…

Dimitar Berbatov: Romelu Lukaku is trying too hard to impress
(New post on FreeBetAlerts.com) - https://freebetalerts.com/2018/10/25/dimitar-berbatov-romelu-lukaku-is-trying-too-hard-to-impress/ #Football, #Freebets, #Tips
Dimitar Berbatov: Romelu Lukaku is trying too hard to impress Please share.
Dimitar Berbatov reflects on a tough week in Europe for Manchester United and Tottenham and has a few words of support for under-fire Romelu Lukaku. He also looks ahead to the biggest game in European football, El Clasico… “I remember when I was on a bad run at United when I hadn’t scored for seven or eight games, but then scored five in one game! It happens to everyone.”
Juve taught United a lesson
Juventus were clearly the better side on Tuesday night and fully deserved the win. They didn’t play the best football but they were efficient and knew exactly how to protect the lead once they got in front.
I said at the start of the season that Juve were one of my favourites to win the Champions League and they showed why at Old Trafford.
They are very compact and organised and have some great players – I am a big fan of Paulo Dybala and of course there is the Ronaldo factor. Even when he’s not playing brilliantly, he will always take the attention of the defenders, creating space for the other attackers.
Juve do have weaknesses but when they are able to shut teams out in the way they did against United they can stop themselves being exploited.
It wasn’t a good performance from United, they need to improve in all areas of the pitch. But they have the manager and the players and they will be putting pressure on themselves to get it right.
Lukaku should get back to basics
There has been a lot of criticism for Romelu Lukaku since the game but you’ll never catch me having a go at a fellow striker. I know how difficult it is.
I remember when I was on a bad run at United when I hadn’t scored for seven or eight games, but then scored five in one game! It happens to everyone.
I know he’s not scored for eight games, but I don’t think the criticism of Lukaku is fair. As Jose Mourinho said, he’s working very hard for the team, but this might actually be working against the striker.
He wants to impress so badly that he is doing too much, and not doing the simple things like getting into the box. He is probably over complicating things; you don’t want to see him popping up at left-back as he did on Tuesday.
Tottenham need to improve concentration levels
As Juventus showed, the really good European teams know how to hold on to a lead, but that is somewhere Tottenham keep falling down in this season in the Champions League.
After playing well to get back to 2-1 against PSV, they should have been able to see the game out, but the concentration levels slipped – as happened against Inter Milan – and it cost them again.
I don’t think it’s down to a lack of experienced heads in the team – these players have plenty of Champions League experience now – but they need to work on the concentration as it’s not good when something keeps happening. .
Europa League not a bad prize
Spurs will continue to fight for Champions League qualification while it’s still mathematically possible but it looks like a very tough task now with one point from three games, which means the next best thing is dropping into the Europa League.
I know it hasn’t got the same prestige, but it remains a good competition and, as I’ve said before, Spurs need to win a trophy so it would represent a realistic chance to do that.
But they will need to start holding on to leads first. And that’s about paying attention to the small details.
Hope Wembley pitch doesn’t ruin the spectacle
Next up for Spurs is Man City on Monday. Kevin de Bruyne has expressed concern about playing on the Wembley pitch the day after an NFL game and he’s right to be concerned.
Kevin De Bruyne expresses concern over state of Wembley pitch after NFL games. @LukeEdwardsTele reports – https://t.co/5vl6FJc0K8— Telegraph Football (@TeleFootball) October 24, 2018
If you remember the Barcelona game there which was a few days after the Anthony Joshua fight and the pitch was absolutely shit! It affected the performance of the players and meant passing was difficult.
I don’t necessarily see it as a ‘leveller’ as both Spurs and Man City have technical players so it will be the same for both sides. You can argue that City have better players, but Tottenham are very good technically themselves, so hopefully the pitch doesn’t ruin the spectacle.
Pep Guardiola’s men are in very good shape at the moment but I’m hopeful Spurs can shake off the PSV disappointment and come away with a draw on Monday.
Real Madrid in bad shape but Lopetegui needs more time
It’s an absolutely huge El Clasico on Saturday (live on Betfair Live Video) – even if it won’t quite be the same without the injured Lionel Messi and the departed Cristiano Ronaldo.
Barcelona were very impressive against Inter on Wednesday and showed they can cope without their main man. Phillipe Coutinho in particular looked to be relishing the chance to take centre stage and they will be very confident going into Saturday.
Real Madrid are in bad shape at the moment and, although form usually goes out of the window in El Clasicos, I expect Barca to take advantage on home soil and win, probably 2-0 or 2-1.
Julen Lopetegui is under pressure for his job at the moment but you can’t judge him so harshly and so soon. It’s only been 13 games – no time at all for players to get used to his philosophy.
After winning three Champions Leagues in a row, Real Madrid were always going to dip at some point and they’ve also been getting to grips without playing with, and relying on, Ronaldo.
Unai Emery at Arsenal is a good comparison. He lost his first two games and the fans were getting worried but look where they are now! The board needs to give Lopetegui a few months at least.
