تحدث إنزو ماريسكا المدير الفني لفريق تشيلسي، عقب المباراة أمام فولهام في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز اليوم السبت.
والتقى تشيلسي وفولهام ضمن مباريات الجولة الثالثة للدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز “البريميرليج”، وحقق فريق ماريسكا فوزًا بهدفين دون مقابل.
وفي مؤتمره الصحفي عقب المباراة، سُئل ماريسكا عن حالة لاعبه ليام ديلاب وإصابته وإذا كان بحاجة للتعاقد مع مهاجم آخر قبل انتهاء انتقالات الصيف.
وأجاب: “لا تبدو إصابة ليام جيدة، فقد كان سريعًا جدًا، وتعرض لإصابة في أوتار الركبة، لذا تطلبت كالعادة أسابيع، أما بالنسبة لمهاجم آخر، بصراحة، فقد انتهينا المباراة وجئنا إلى هنا للمؤتمر الصحفي، لذا بعد انتهاء المباراة، سنجلس ونرى إن كنا سنتخذ أي قرار، هذا كل شيء”.
وإذا كان بالإمكان الإبقاء على نيكولاس جاكسون المقرر إعارته لبايرن ميونخ، أصر ماريسكا: “قلتُ للتو أنهينا المباراة، وجئت للمؤتمر، لا أعرف، سنجلس الآن ونرى، جدّيًا، بصراحة، ليس لديّ أي فكرة”.
وعما إذا كان لديه خيارات كافية في مركز المهاجم، رد: “عندما يكون لديك مهاجمان، فهذا يكفي، عندما يُصاب أحدهما لأسابيع، فغالبًا لا يكون ذلك كافيًا، نحاول استخدام حلول مختلفة، إذا كنت تتذكر العام الماضي، فقد استخدمنا بيدرو نيتو في بعض المباريات كلاعب رقم 9، هذا لأننا نبحث دائمًا عن حلول، ولكن بالتأكيد عندما يكون لديك لاعبان رقم 9 جيدان، فهذا يكفي”.

وإذا كانت لكأس العالم للأندية وفترة الإعداد القصيرة تأثير مباشر على كثرة الإصابات، علّق: “قلتُ قبل بداية الموسم إنه للأسف ليس لدي إجابة، لأنها المرة الأولى التي تُقام فيها بطولة خلال الصيف، لذا لا أحد يعلم، لا أعلم، لا أنا، ولا أي متخصص في علوم الرياضة، ولا أي طبيب يستطيع مساعدتنا في التنبؤ بمدى احتمالية حدوث هذه المشكلة”.
واستكمل: “لا نعلم، إنه أمر جديد، وللأسف حدث بالفعل، قلتُ في المؤتمر الصحفي بالأمس أعتقد أن كولويل، كايسيدو، وكول بالمر، واليوم ليام ليس صدفة”.
وانتقل للحديث عن المباراة أمام فولهام، والجدل حول قرارات حكم الفار، وشعوره لو كانت ضد فريقه، وأوضح: “قلتُ للتو، إنني أراجع كلا القرارين، من وجهة نظري، من الواضح تمامًا أن القرار الأول هو ركل أحد لاعبيهم لتريف، والثاني واضح تمامًا أنها لمسة يد، الآن أستطيع أن أفهم أنه من وجهة نظرهم، لا يمكن احتساب خطأ، لكنني أعتقد أنه من الواضح تمامًا أنه خطأ، ومن ثم ركلة جزاء”.
وحول سبب غضب إنزو فرنانديز في الشوط الأول، أفاد: “الجواب هو أنه فائز بكأس العالم للأندية، فائز بكأس العالم، وأعتقد أنه ربما اللاعب الوحيد في العالم الذي فاز باللقبين، وعندما لا يكون جيدًا بما يكفي، يستطيع أن يُدرك ذلك، وربما كان منزعجًا بسبب ذلك، لأنه في الشوط الأول، أعتقد أنه لم يكن جيدًا بما يكفي”.
وواصل: “ثم في الشوط الثاني، كان مثل البقية مُتألقًا، لذا ربما يكون سبب عدم سعادته هو أنه أدرك أنه لم يكن جيدًا بما يكفي، وفي الشوط الثاني، أعتقد أنه كان مُتألقًا، ولكن في نهاية المباراة كان الجميع يرقصون أو يحتفلون بالفوز، لذا كان إنزو حاضرًا وكان سعيدًا”.
وعما إذا كان يشير إلى ماركوس ألفاريز، رد: “لا أعرف، على الأرجح، عندما سجلنا هدفًا مع جواو، غادرتُ مقاعد البدلاء فورًا لأنني كنتُ أكثر قلقًا بشأن تحسين أدائي في الشوط الثاني، لذا عدتُ إلى غرفة الملابس لأُعدّ لوحة التكتيكات وكل شيء، لذلك لم أرَ شيئًا”.
Alejandro Garnacho has fuelled speculation over his Manchester United future by sharing a cryptic social media post amid ongoing talks over a £50 million ($67m) move to Chelsea. The 21-year-old, who has reportedly already agreed personal terms with the Blues, gave credence to an imminent switch by posting a gym photo alongside an hourglass emoji.

Garnacho has long been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge after falling out of favour at United under Ruben Amorim. With personal terms agreed, negotiations between the two clubs are now focused on finalising a transfer fee. The Red Devils are holding out for £50m, having dropped their initial £70 million ($94m) January asking price.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Garnacho was left out of United’s pre-season tour of the United States, underlining Amorim’s lack of plans for him. His preference for Chelsea has been clear since the London club’s interest surfaced seven months ago. The hourglass emoji has been interpreted by supporters as a signal that his move is close to completion. Chelsea have already been active in the transfer market, with Garnacho potentially becoming their seventh signing of the summer. His exit would mark another high-profile change in United’s squad rebuild.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
City only signed Savinho a year ago for around £35m ($47.5m) but now they appear to be ready to cash in on the 21-year-old. Tottenham have already had a £42m ($57m) offer rejected for the Brazilian but now it seems a new bid could come City's way. The report adds that Savinho wants to 'star as a Premier League regular', rather than be a fringe player in the lead up to the 2026 World Cup.
DID YOU KNOW?
Savinho, who still has four years left on his City deal, has scored three goals and bagged 13 assists in 48 games for Pep Guardiola's team so far. The former Troyes man has not quite lived up to the promise he showed on loan at Girona, where he scored 11 goals and added 10 assists in the 2023-24 campaign.

If Savinho does leave City, that may lead Guardiola's team to pursue Real Madrid winger Rodrygo – who has been linked with a summer transfer exit. But whether Tottenham can get closer to City's asking price for Savinho is up in the air.
Autor do único gol tricolor na derrota do São Paulo por 2 a 1 diante do Corinthians, o atacante Luciano expôs sua tristeza em entrevista ao ‘YouTube’, na saída do gramado. O atacante justificou a tristeza com um argumento técnico, pensando no futuro da competição.
-Sentimento de tristeza, tenho mais nada para falar. A gente queria ter vencido o jogo porque, neste campeonato, é importante terminar em primeiro para decidir todos os jogos em casa.O treinador pediu para pensar jogo a jogo e hoje era uma decisão. Infelizmente a gente decepcionou nossos familiares e torcedores.

Luciano ainda comentou o fato de ter iniciado a partida no banco de reservas em meio aos questionamentos sobre sua posição ideal no time de Rogério Ceni.
-O treinador tem as estratégias dele. Eu joguei os quatro primeiros jogos. Claro que, não só eu, mas todos que estavam no banco queriam ter jogado, mas não deu. Vamos trabalhar durante a semana e melhorar o que temos errado nos jogos.
Luciano e toda a equipe do São Paulo terão a chance de mostrar evolução no próximo domingo (05), quando a equipe volta a campo para enfrentar o Santo André, às 16 horas (horário de Brasília), fora de casa.
O Corinthians chegou ao seu quinto jogo na temporada fora de casa, e a equipe de Lázaro soma apenas 33% de aproveitamento. O Timão empatou sem gols com a Portuguesa no Mané Garrinchaneste domingo (12), e o técnico Fernando Lázaro reconheceu as dificuldades da equipe longe da Neo Química Arena.

-Estamos fazendo uma campanha satisfatória em termos de pontuação. Estamos atingindo nossos objetivos. Paulistão é difícil e todos os times estão oscilando no começo da temporada, e nós estamos pontuando bem, apesar de algumas oscilações fora de casa. Estamos tentando melhorar nesse aspecto, sabemos que é uma condição que sofremos a um certo tempo, e temos buscado tratar disso. Ainda não conseguimos chegar a um padrão de atuação fora de casa como entendemos que podemos chegar – afirmou Lázaro na coletiva após o empate.

Para o treinador do Timão, a equipe deixou a desejar na parte criativa contra a Lusa. Segundo o Footstats, o clube alvinegro deu apenas um chute ao gol durante os 90 minutos.
-Início de jogo satisfatório, mas depois não mantivemos o nível de construção. Sabíamos da dificuldade, adversário, momento, em um campo que tirava a melhor condição de circulação, calor. Depois não conseguimos fazer o jogo fluir por ambos lados. Tivemos construções pelo lado direito, pois entendemos que o equilíbrio do time precisa alternar, mas o jogo teve poucas finalizações, mais brigado, com ritmo quebrado, sem sequência – ponderou.
No segundo tempo, o Corinthians passou a pressionar de forma mais constante a Lusa, deixando espaços na defesa. Lázaro explicou a tática por trás disso e deixou claro que o espaçamento defensivo precisava ser melhorado.
-As transições, no geral, temos esse ajuste. Nas partes finais, pelo clima, você busca construir em ultrapassagem, e isso gera uma exposição para o adversário, mas em outros momentos controlamos melhor, no segundo tempo sofremos menos, estando mais posicionais na perda da bola para neutralizar a saída de bola do adversário, estamos buscando evolução nisso. Sabemos que temos que melhorar

The Blues have already pulled the curtain back on their 2025-26 home kit, sticking with their classic blue while adding a fresh twist, an eye-catching textured design and a sharp white trim around a V-shaped collar.
The early buzz surrounding Chelsea's kit designs has been largely upbeat, with supporters seemingly warming to the more minimalist approach. After a string of bold—and often divisive—design choices in recent seasons, the return to a cleaner, more classic look appears to strike the right chord with the fanbase.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about the new Chelsea kits, including where to buy, prices, leaks, rumours and more.

Chelsea have officially launched their new home kit for the 2025-26 season, one that pays tribute to the heart and soul of London.
The new home kit sticks to tradition with its signature royal blue base but adds a modern twist through a textured pattern inspired by the capital's iconic architecture, including the historic Chelsea Town Hall.
Nike have dubbed the design ‘Our House’, a clear nod to the classic Madness track. Fittingly, Graham 'Suggs' McPherson—the band's frontman and a lifelong Chelsea supporter—takes centre stage in the club's launch video. He's joined by fellow Blues fans Central Cee and Ife Ogunjobi in a promotional clip that blends football, music, and London culture.
The theme is timely. With Stamford Bridge's future still under the spotlight, especially after recent comments from co-owner Todd Boehly, the kit's London-centric inspiration feels like a subtle message of identity and belonging.
The shirt itself features a crisp V-neck design with white detailing, blending old-school charm with a contemporary edge. One glaring omission? A shirt sponsor. The club is still on the hunt for a long-term front-of-shirt partner, meaning the jersey remains sponsorless for now.
In terms of price, the home kit is priced at £124.99 ($165) for the authentic match strip, while the adult stadium version will cost fans £84.99 ($110).

Chelsea have officially pulled the curtain back on their 2025/26 away kit, with the sleek Nike-designed shirt set to debut at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. The fresh look leans on heritage, featuring a clean off-white base offset by deep military green and bold red accents.
The standout detail? A striking column of eight vertical stripes, four green, four red, running down the centre, a clear homage to the club’s 1974/75 away kit.
The club explained on its official website: "In the early 1970s and fresh from securing our first FA Cup and European trophy, Blues manager Dave Sexton, himself an artist when it came to the tactical game, introduced a Chelsea away strip coloured as a tribute to Hungary’s famous ‘Magnificent Magyars’ side from two decades earlier, whose extravagant patterns on the pitch had so influenced his own winning football.
Soon, the simple, plain red, white and green of that kit evolved into a white shirt with a broad red and green vertical stripe, whose theme is now reimagined in a subtle form 50 years on."
For those looking to get their hands on the new gear, the match edition of the shirt is priced at £125 ($170, €147), while the stadium version is available for £85 ($115, €100). A youth-size stadium jersey will cost £65 ($88, €77).

Chelsea's third kit for the 2025-26 campaign brings back a bold, familiar look, dressed predominantly in sleek black with silver accents and subtle blue detailing. The colorway is a throwback to their 2013-14 design, marking a return to a palette that once turned heads.
What truly sets this shirt apart is the revival of the club's retro crest last worn on our shirts in 2004-05 returning front and centre of the fresh design, a nostalgic nod to the era of club legends like Ruud Gullit and Dennis Wise. It’s a design move sure to strike a chord with longtime supporters, blending modern minimalism with echoes of Chelsea's storied past.
Rounding off a London-inspired trilogy of designs for this season, Chelsea's 2025/26 third kit continues the club’s “Total London” theme. After the architectural influences of the home shirt and the artistic flair showcased in the away strip, the third release takes its cue from the city's role as a cultural crossroads and creative heartbeat. The launch imagery captures a west London street after dark, a scene that feels caught between past and present, providing a striking backdrop.
Eager to snap up the fresh third kit? The matchday edition comes in at £125 ($170/€147), while the more accessible stadium version is priced at £85 ($115/€100). Kids can grab the youth stadium jersey for £65 ($88/€77), making sure every age group can sport the new look.

Chelsea has unveiled their sleek new goalkeeper jersey for the 2025-26 season, crafted using Nike's updated global template. The design sticks to a classic black base, but it's far from plain. The front features a refined pattern of thin, vertical stripes that add depth with a soft gradient or metallic finish, delivering a sharp, contemporary feel.
The sleeves and side panels keep things minimalist with solid black, staying true to Nike's clean, uniform approach for all their top-tier sponsored clubs this season. It's a bold yet understated look that brings a modern edge to the Blues' goalkeeping lineup, part of a broader move toward consistency across Nike's 25-26 kits.

According to , Lookman will return to Atalanta's training centre to meet with the management led by CEO Antonio Percassi to discuss his future after his failed move to Inter.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Inter and Atalanta have been locked in negotiations for weeks with Inter already having agreed personal terms with Lookman. However CEO Percassi explained that while he promised to sell Lookman in 2025, he was not ready to sell him to an Italian side. This angered Lookman who in an effort to force a move to Inter accused the club of breaking their promise and refused to turn up for training for two weeks without explanation. He even deleted all Atalanta photos from his social media. Atalanta, however, rejected Inter’s latest €45 million (£38m/$53m) offer, prompting the Nerazzurri to formally withdraw their interest.
DID YOU KNOW?
However, Atalanta may adopt a more lenient stance with Lookman, given his importance to Ivan Juric’s plans. Juric stressed that the team would lose 90% of their goals if Lookman were to follow last season's Serie A top scorer Mateo Retegui out the door. This could push the club to reinstate Lookman in the starting XI, as they do not want harsh sanctions to diminish his market value or leave him unprepared for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.

The former Brentford forward has been left fuming over Al-Ahli's treatment in Hong Kong ahead of the Super Cup final with Ronaldo's Al-Nassr. Toney claims his side were the 'most hated' in the region and thus were asked to train on below-par pitches and handed the least favourable training times. Indeed, Ronaldo's side were welcomed to training at 5.30pm, while Toney's team had to wait until 8pm.

Toney and Ronaldo go head-to-head in the final of the Super Cup after ending last season as the Saudi Pro League's two top goalscorers. Toney bagged 23 to Ronaldo's 25, but the ex-Bees forward also helped Al-Ahli land the AFC Champions League Elite trophy.
WHAT TONEY SAID
Toney said: "To be honest, the preparation and how we've been treated is crazy. We've been on the worst pitch, and trained after other teams. We've been the most hated, the team nobody wants to win; it gives us that extra hunger and fight to win something against these teams. You saw in the semi-final: we had no remorse, we wanted to score more and more, and we did."

Duílio Monteiro Alves demorou sete meses para fazer a sua primeira contratação como presidente do Corinthians, e ela foi badalada. Em julho de 2021, o Timão superou Grêmio e Internacional ao anunciar a chegada de Giuliano, que estava livre no mercado após rescindir com o Istanbul Basaksehir, da Turquia.

Após um semestre de austeridade e confiança na base, o Timão passou a ser cada vez mais agressivo no mercado, investindo em nomes como Renato Augusto, Róger Guedes e Paulinho no restante daquele ano.
Giuliano sabe que o Corinthians precisou fazer grandes esforços para contratá-lo, e o camisa 20 é grato a Duílio por ter confiado nele em um momento difícil do clube.
+ Veja as movimentações do mercado da bola no LANCE!
– Sou muito agradecido ao Duílio, foi o cara que acreditou em mim. Do jeito que estava, não era um momento bom no Corinthians, e ele apostou em mim, e as coisas foram dando certo. Eu honro a vida dele porque ele acreditou no meu potencial – revelou Giuliano ao LANCE!.
RENOVAÇÃO DE CONTRATO
Giuliano é um dos nove atletas do elenco corintiano cujo contrato acaba em dezembro de 2023. O Timão ainda não procurou o staff do atleta sobre uma renovação contratual, algo que interessa ao meia de 32 anos.
– Tenho contrato até o final do ano, não houve nenhum tipo de conversa ainda. Meu desejo é permanecer, estou muito feliz onde estou, me sinto completo na área desportiva, saúde mental, física, família. Por tudo isso, me sinto realizado. Me vejo com potencial para ir até os 35, 36 anos. Sou muito disciplinado – afirmou.

METAS PARA 2023
Em 2022, Giuliano esteve muito próximo de se consagrar na história do Corinthians. Ao lado de Cano, o meia terminou a última edição da Copa do Brasil como artilheiro da competição, com cinco gols, mas o Timão foi derrotado pelo Flamengo na grande final.
Com a indefinição em relação ao seu contrato, o camisa 20 quer conquistar uma taça nesta temporada para coroar sua passagem.
– Para completar essa realização precisa de títulos, é algo que almejo. Temos muito potencial para chegar nas competições. Temos um time forte, acredito no nosso potencial – declarou.

SEGUIR AJUDANDO ATLETAS
Alguns veteranos do elenco corintiano, como Cássio, Paulinho e Renato Augusto, já indicaram o desejo em seguir em contato direto com o futebol após pendurar as chuteiras, seja como treinador ou dirigente.
Giuliano está longe da aposentadoria, mas sabe que esse não será o seu rumo quando decidir encerrar a carreira, sendo influenciado pelos eventos e ocasiões que teve que abrir mão durante os últimos anos.
– Eu não me vejo em nenhuma área esportiva do futebol, seja diretor, técnico. Minha vida toda vivi isso, e eu sei o que me custou. Sei quantos aniversários dos meus filhos não estive, alguma celebração ou reunião na escola. Sei o que abri mão para viver o que vivo hoje. Sou agradecido pelo que vivi no futebol, mas o tempo não volta – ponderou.
Com um traço para ajudar pessoas, o atleta deseja abrir uma empresa de assessoria para auxiliar outros atletas em assuntos extra-campo.
– Me vejo atuando com os jogadores. Estou montando uma empresa para assessorar jogadores de futebol em serviços, questões financeiras, familiares. Quero montar uma empresa para cuidar do atleta fora de campo, é isso que falta para muitos. Ele não tem a estrutura familiar com deveria, aí não consegue performar e ninguém entende os problemas que ele está passando – concluiu.
No Corinthians, Giuliano vem aconselhando e convivendo cada vez mais com alguns jovens do elenco, especialmente Roni, que já o chamou diversas vezes de “pai” pelos conselhos além do campo e bola.
