What Advice Did PSG Defender Sergio Ramos Offer Neymar Amidst Kylian Mbappe Dispute?

 

There is no shortage of star power inside the Paris Saint Germaine (PSG) dressing room which is why egos are likely to clash. The two PSG superstars who have recently been in news are Neymar and Mbappe. While Neymar has often been affected by injuries and his off-field discipline, Mbappe has gone on to become a vital part of the PSG team and was recently handed the role of taking penalties. Both Neymar and Mbappe have recently clashed against each other and as per a report Sergios Ramos had to come in between and find a way to resolve the issue to keep team spirit intact.

Sergio Ramos tried to resolve Neymar vs Mbappe issue

Recently Neymar and Mbappe were involved in a penalty incident against Montpellier and the Brazilian was surprised with the club giving so much power to the French forward. According to an AS.com report citing L'Equipe, the penalty incident has generated a small dispute inside the locker room and senior figures like Sergio Ramos had to intervene to stop the matter from getting out of hand.

 As per the report, “The morning after the match against Montpellier, in front of the whole group, the tension increased between Neymar and Mbappe. To calm things down, Sergio Ramos and Marquinhos, among others, had to intervene. The duo Christophe Galtier and Luis Campos didn't help too much either”. The report also states that Sergio Ramos advised Neymar to respect PSG's decision to place Mbappé as the main penalty shooter, even if he didn't like it.

Does the Neymar vs Mbappe rift still exist?

The rumours about the feud between Neymar and Mbappe has again resurfaced after the Brazilian walked out of an interview when a reporter asked him about his thoughts on the Frenchman. The incident seems to have occurred following  Brazil's friendly match against Ghana.  Earlier, PSG coach Christophe Galtier had cleared the air about the rift in an interview in late August. While speaking to reporters, the French manager said, "There is no discomfort. We saw each other quickly, the next day to be precise, to iron out all that and to say what we had to say to each other. That’s why there is no discomfort. I confirm it with a lot of sincerity, we had a very pleasant week at work where everyone worked to prepare the game against Lille."

Carney Chukwuemeka makes statement to Graham Potter as Chelsea win secret friendly

Chelsea fans react to Thomas Tuchel sacking

Chelsea teenager Carney Chukwuemeka took his chance to impress new boss Graham Potter this weekend as he scored twice in a behind-closed-doors friendly win over Brighton. Chukwuemeka is yet to make a senior appearance for the Blues after arriving from Aston Villa this summer. 

Brighton and Chelsea came together on Saturday in an effort to stay sharp and fit after both of their Premier League fixtures were called off. The Seagulls' clash with rivals Crystal Palace was postponed due to rail strikes while Chelsea's showdown with Liverpool didn't go ahead in the wake of the Queen's death. 

With the international break just around the corner, Potter was understandably keen to see more of his new side in action after leaving Brighton to replace Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge in a compensation deal worth over £20million. 

A speedy return to the Amex Stadium, which he left only last week, saw a host of fringe players fielded including Trevoh Chalobah, Conor Gallagher, Armando Broja and Chukwuemeka.

It was the latter who came up with the goods on the south coast, notching twice in front of Potter in a 2-1 win. Chukwuemeka's brace presents a strong case for him to make his first-team debut once Chelsea return to competitive action on October 2 against Crystal Palace. 

Chukwuemeka was in and around the senior side under Steven Gerrard at Aston Villa last campaign, making 11 Premier League appearances and establishing himself for England U19s. He refused to sign new terms at Villa Park, opening the door for Chelsea to swoop in with a lucrative contract offer and a £20m transfer fee.

The behind-closed-doors performance will have presented Potter with food for thought over the two-week break, with only one competitive match under his belt as Chelsea boss. A draw at home to underdogs RB Salzburg in the Champions League certainly wasn't the fairytale start the 47-year-old wanted with doubters questioning whether he has the pedigree to cut it at the top level. 

Tuchel and Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly oversaw a world-record spend this summer with Wesley Fofana, Raheem Sterling and Marc Cucurella bumping up a final bill that totalled over £250m. The Blues are supposedly ready to give Potter time, regardless of what he achieves this season, having put together a successful project on the south coast with Brighton.

"We're frustrated with just one point [against Salzburg] but I thought the application of the players was fantastic," Potter told reporters on Wednesday. "They gave everything and I was very proud of how they acted today.

"It's not been easy for them either. You know, a change of coach and all that comes with that, but their response has been brilliant. They've acted really well; professional, honest, responsible. So from an effort perspective, it was absolutely 100 per cent there."

3 Pemain yang Berpotensi Diboyong MU Januari 2023

Manchester United sudah merekrut sejumlah pemain pada bursa transfer musim panas 2022. Meski begitu, MU dikabarkan masih ingin mendatangkan beberapa pemain lagi.

Mereka yang datang ialah Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Antony dan Martin Dubravka tiba di Old Trafford.

Setan Merah diyakini merencanakan transfer pada bursa Januari. Manajer Erik ten Hag mengungkapkan pekan lalu bahwa pembicaraan mengenai transfer akan berlangsung bulan ini.

MU diperkirakan menginginkan bek kanan, gelandang kreatif dan penyerang. Siapa saja yang berpotensi menjadi target juara Inggris 20 kali itu?

Hamari Traore

Hamari Traore dikaitkan dengan Barcelona pada akhir jendela transfer musim panas.

Pemain berusia 30 tahun itu diduga tersedia dengan harga 3 juta euro. Kontraknya di Rennes berakhir pada akhir musim dan klubnya enggan kehilangan dia secara cuma-cuma.

Bek kanan ini telah membuat 212 penampilan untuk klub Prancis itu sejak pindah dari Reims pada Juli 2017. Ia menyumbang lima gol dan 22 assist dalam prosesnya. Musim ini, pemain asal Mali itu menyumbangkan satu assist dalam sembilan penampilan.

MU dikabarkan memasukkannya dalam daftar beli untuk melapisi Diogo Dalot di pos bek kanan. Kepindahan Traore dapat mengancam posisi Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Youri Tielemans

MU dikabarkan mengidentifikasi gelandang Leicester City, Youri Tielemans sebagai target utama pada Januari.

Tielemans dengan 52 caps untuk Timnas Belgia dianggap cocok menambah kreativitas lini tengah MU. Menurut Fichajes, MU merasa hanya Christian Eriksen pilihan mereka saat ini untuk peran itu.

Namun, Leicester tidak mau berpisah dengan satu di antara pemain terbaik mereka. Namun, Leicester tak bisa berbuat banyak.

Kontrak pemain berusia 25 tahun itu akan berakhir pada akhir musim ini. Januari akan menjadi kesempatan terakhir mereka untuk menguangkan sang gelandang sebelum dia bisa pergi dengan status bebas transfer.

Memphis Depay

Memphis Depay dikaitkan dengan MU pada tahap akhir jendela transfer musim panas sebelum akhirnya tetap di Barcelona.

Kontrak pemain berusia 28 tahun di Camp Nou akan berakhir Juni 2023. Dia tampaknya tidak ada dalam rencana Xavi.

Pemain asal Belanda, yang pindah ke Camp Nou dengan status bebas transfer tahun lalu, mencetak 13 gol dan menyumbang dua assist dalam 38 penampilan untuk Barca.

Memphis hanya bermain dua kali musim ini. Dia hampir pasti akan pergi pada Januari atau pada akhir kontraknya. Ia pun berpeluang kembali ke Old Trafford.
