O zagueiro Ricardo Graça não esconde que o trabalho do técnico Marcelo Cabo tem feito mudanças gradativas no Vasco. Em entrevista coletiva após a vitória cruz-maltina sobre o Resende, por 3 a 1, o defensor apontou onde a equipe evoluiu.

– Acho que mudamos nossa forma de jogar. Somos um time que além de propor o jogo, tem um contra-ataque muito bom – e, em seguida, destacou:

– Chegaram as contratações, que estão indo muito bem, estão fazendo a diferença. O elenco e chegada do novo treinador, com certeza, mudaram nosso estilo de jogo. Temos tudo para crescer nesse ano – completou.

As Chelsea face the increasingly real prospect of missing out on European football for a second consecutive season in the Premier League, Todd Boehly looks set to stick to his transfer plan focused on the future.

Chelsea transfer news

The Blues splashed the cash last summer to no avail, with Mauricio Pochettino's side rooted to mid-table and a world away from Champions League football. Their Carabao Cup final loss against a young Liverpool side was their latest moment to forget, as the Reds' academy products proved that money doesn't always come out on top at Wembley.

Yet, as the summer approaches, Boehly's tactic looks set to remain unchanged, as he sets his sights on the future once more. The American has already spent money to welcome the likes of Deivid Washington and Angelo Gabriel from Santos in Brazil, and now reports suggest that Chelsea have turned towards the South American market once again in an attempt to land a defensive gem.

The west London giants, of course, attempted to boost their backline last summer with the additions of Axel Disasi and Malo Gusto, but have since faced struggles to the ones they faced without the arrival of the duo to highlight the need for further additions. And that's where Rafael Venancio could step in for years to come.

According to Globo Esporte, Chelsea are keen on signing Rafael Venancio from Corinthians alongside Premier League rivals Manchester United. The 17-year-old central defender reportedly has a release clause as low as €30m (£26m), handing the Blues a boost in their pursuit of his signature.

Chelsea now eyeing move for "incredible" Sterling upgrade they've scouted

He’s outscored the Chelsea winger so far this season.

As Thiago Silva approaches the end of his current Chelsea contract this summer, it would feel fitting to see another Brazilian defender arrive at Stamford Bridge, especially if it is a young player in the form of Venancio. What's more, those at Stamford Bridge would no doubt like to get one over on Manchester United off the pitch in the process.

Venancio could become long-term Silva replacement

Replacing a player of Silva's calibre will be no easy task, particularly amid Chelsea's defensive struggles, but swapping the old for the new could be the best way forward this summer.

Mauricio Pochettino will certainly hope to see Venancio reach the level that Silva has if Chelsea are to secure his signature, having handed the veteran plenty of praise earlier this season. The manager said via Metro: "I think always we talk about the present. It’s important for him to keep fit. With his age, he’s doing fantastic. We are so happy with him. What is going to happen in the future, that’s for him."

As Boehly continues his transfer tactic by potentially welcoming another young Brazilian prospect, he will hope to finally reap the rewards for splashing the cash after watching another season to forget at Stamford Bridge.

Captain’s counterattack bags crucial bonus points in promotion tussle

ECB Reporters Network16-Sep-2019Durham 37 for 4 (Sanderson 3-20) trail Northamptonshire 217 (Rossington 82, Rushworth 5-68) by 180 runsAdam Rossington produced a murderous counterattack to revive Northamptonshire on the opening day of their crucial Specsavers County Championship promotion clash with Durham at Wantage Road.Asked to bat in bowling conditions that couldn’t have been better designed, Northants were listing at 150 for 8 after Chris Rushworth’s fourth five-wicket haul of the season before captain Rossington struck 60 in just 22 balls to rescue a batting point. He was last out for 82 but pushed his side to 217. Ben Sanderson then put Northants on top with three wickets as Durham slipped to 37 for 4 when bad curtailed the day.Rossington targeted the short leg-side boundary towards the Clark Road and shuffled across his stumps to slog sweep seven sixes – three of them in one over from Brydon Carse that went for 27 and four off Rushworth, including the biggest that brought up the batting point.It was the perfect time for a captain’s innings and gave Northants something to bowl at, which looked unlikely when Rushworth ran through them after lunch. Conditions were tailor-made for he and the Durham attack with a heavy grey cloud clinging over the ground and the floodlights the only reason play was possible. Ned Eckersley could have declined the toss from the changing room.But the visitors did not initially do justice to conditions and allowed Northants to reach 99 for 1 just after lunch. But Durham located a more consistent length and Rushworth’s first wicket began a severe slide of 7 for 51 in 21.1 overs.He found the breakthrough with a delivery that jagged back sharply off the seam to pluck out Alex Wakely’s off stump as he perfectly justifiably shouldered arms. Two balls later Rob Keogh edged an away-swinger to fall for a second-ball duck after a match-winning innings last week.Rushworth also nipped one through Ben Curran’s defences, who was rather caught on the crease in losing his off stump for a battling 36. After tea, Doug Bracewell was pinned by a nip-backer for 1 and the five-wicket haul was completed by one that bounced to take the shoulder of Brett Hutton’s bat to point.Ben Raine also went to 50 wickets in a season for the second time with his 3 for 57, having Rob Newton caught at slip for 26, Luke Procter caught behind first ball after tea for 8 and Gareth Berg bowled off his gloves as he tried to avoid another ball that bounced a little.But after Rossington’s brilliance gave his side a useful score, and momentum, the Northants bowlers made inroads much earlier then Durham managed.Sanderson got one to straighten on Cameron Steel who edged low to Hutton at third slip for 7 and lured Alex Lees, on 15, into flicking across a full delivery to provide Alex Wakely with a catch at first slip. A nip-backer then trapped Angus Robson lbw for 9.Gareth Berg also produced a big inswinger that won a leg before decision against Championship debutant BJ Watling. The New Zealander walked off for a third-ball duck as Northants ended the day much the stronger.

Despite a number of concerning injuries piling up at Pride Park, Derby County made it five matches unbeaten in League One last time out when beating Steve Evans' stern Stevenage side 1-0.

That victory was achieved without shining Rams star James Collins even being present, with Louie Sibley having to take over the goalscoring duties in place of the injury-stricken striker in the hard-fought win.

The third-tier promotion chasers have been boosted by the addition of former Newcastle United forward Dwight Gayle joining on a free transfer, but the Rams will regret letting one explosive attacker leave even more now when assessing their current lack of bodies up top.

Able to play down the wings or as a striker, this ex-Derby youngster is bettering Nathaniel Mendez-Laing's numbers whilst performing in the division above Warne's men.

Morgan Whittaker's time at Derby

Coming through the Derby academy to make his first-team debut with the Rams back in 2019, Morgan Whittaker would never really kick on in the senior set-up in Derbyshire unfortunately.

It would end up being a subdued end for Whittaker at the now League One club, after scoring a staggering 18 goals in just one season for the Derby U18's before making the jump up to the men's team.

The current Plymouth Argyle star only managed to help himself to one goal and one assist from 32 appearances when doing so, leaving the Rams after just two seasons playing in the first-team fold.

The Rams should have persisted, with hindsight on their side, to keep Whittaker around at Pride Park for longer – the "flamboyant" ex-Derby attacker, as he was once described by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, exploding into life ever since waving goodbye to the East Midlands outfit.

Morgan Whittaker's statistics since leaving Derby

Selling their former homegrown product for £700k now feels like a major blunder, considering the beast Whittaker has been transformed into playing for Plymouth this season.

Where Are They Now

Your star player or biggest flop has left the club but what are they doing in the present day? This article is part of Football FanCast's Where Are They Now series.

Failing to ever really settle at Swansea City in the direct aftermath of leaving the Rams, Whittaker has found a place to call his own and to skilfully strut his stuff on a regular basis in Devon.

This campaign alone for Ian Foster's Pilgrims, the silky 6 foot 2 attacker has managed a combined 26 goals and assists in all competitions with one of those strikes coming recently against his former Welsh employers.

In contrast, Mendez-Laing for Derby has one less contribution next to his name at 25. But, at 31 years of age, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for the former Wolverhampton Wanderers winger to start deteriorating.

Whereas, Whittaker – who is just 23 years of age on the other hand – has plenty more years left in the tank compared to Mendez-Laing and could well get even better over time.

Now coming in at a boosted transfer worth in the region of €6.3m (£5.3m) according to Football Transfers, Derby really did drop a clanger getting rid of Whittaker when they did.

The Argyle winger will just aim to continue impressing at Home Park with a view to a major move away from Devon soon, Serie A giants Lazio notable admirers of the one-time Derby prospect.

Whereas, Derby will press on with what they have at their disposal currently with hopes that Dwight Gayle can fire in crucial goals playing alongside Mendez-Laing to win promotion up to the Championship.

Jurgen Klopp shocked the world of football when he announced that he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season after almost a decade in charge at Anfield. The German has done it all on Merseyside and leaves as the Reds' most successful manager in their Premier League history.

But who is Jurgen Klopp? How many trophies has he won? And could he return to management next season? We at Football FanCast have gathered everything you need to know about the Reds boss is right here.

Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool

With Liverpool top of the Premier League and still in all three cup competitions, you'd be forgiven for thinking that when Klopp revealed that he had an announcement, it would be centred around a possible contract extension. That proved anything but the case, however, as he instead revealed his forthcoming exit.

Speaking to Liverpool's official media channels, Klopp detailed the reason behind his decision: "It is that I am, how can I say it, running out of energy. I have no problem now, obviously, I knew it already for longer that I will have to announce it at one point, but I am absolutely fine now. I know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again."

Jurgen Klopp news & rumours

Whilst Klopp was quick to rule out a return to management, saying "if you ask me, ‘Will you ever work as a manager again?’ I would say now no," the rumours have still arrived.

Julian Nagelsmann's contract with the German national team is up after this summer's Euros, creating the need for another candidate to step into the hot seat. And given that Klopp has been linked with the Germany position before, only to turn it down due to his Liverpool commitments, they could return with another attempt – this time without the obstacle of his Anfield role.

Nagelsmann, of course, has been a name mentioned as a possible candidate to replace Klopp at Liverpool in what would be a convenient swap for all parties. That said, as of right now, it is Reds legend and Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso who reportedly tops FSG's shortlist, having already made contact.

Jurgen Klopp's salary and net worth

FSG got a return on their investment throughout Klopp's time at the club, winning every major honour available. Klopp's wages reportedly sit at a whopping £15m a year, which is ironically only second to Manchester City's Pep Guardiola in what will feel all too frustratingly familiar for the 56-year-old.

Klopp's net worth, meanwhile, has unsurprisingly gone up and up since arriving at Anfield – and reportedly now stands at around £39m, according to Essentially Sports.

Jurgen Klopp's net spend

The fact that Liverpool have kept up with Manchester City throughout Klopp's tenure speaks volumes about the impact that the Anfield legend has had on the club. That is then made even more impressive by Liverpool's net spend compared to the rest of the Premier League's 'big six' since Klopp's arrival in 2015.

Club	Net spend since summer 2015
Manchester United	£888m
Chelsea	£835m
Arsenal	£696m
Manchester City	£692m
Tottenham Hotspur	£484m
Liverpool	£254m

Astonishingly, it is Manchester United who top the list, with a net spend of over double Liverpool's in the last nine years. Compare silverware during that time, and it says a lot about just how poorly the Red Devils have spent their money compared to Klopp at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp's age and height

Now 56 years old, it's no surprise that Klopp doesn't have the energy that he once did to coach his 'heavy metal' football. Although it seems unlikely that we'll see the German in a dugout anytime soon, he could yet make his return to management and follow in the footsteps of the likes of Arsene Wenger, who left Arsenal at 68 years old.

Standing at 6 foot 3, the former Dortmund man could have perhaps made for an emergency centre-back option amid Liverpool's infamous shortage in the 2020/21 campaign, which saw the likes of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho form makeshift partnerships at times.

Jurgen Klopp's wife

An underrated member of Klopp's backroom team is, of course, his wife – Ulla Sandrock. Liverpool fans reportedly have her to thank for keeping hold of their legendary boss for what could prove to be a historic season. According to Jonathan Northcroft of The Times, Klopp came close to quitting midway through last season, before being convinced by his wife to stay put.

Back at the summit, the Liverpool boss may well be glad to have listened ahead of what could be the perfect ending.

Jurgen Klopp's teeth

Everyone is used to seeing Jurgen Klopp's pearly whites by now, but that's not how it has always been.

The German did indeed have his teeth fixed and, reportedly, veneers implanted.

Interestingly, it was Roberto Firmino who inspired Klopp to get them done, as the Liverpool boss went to Dr Robbie Hughes of Dental Excellence, who also did the Brazilian's.

He stated: "Working with Jurgen Klopp came about because he saw Roberto's new teeth and decided he wanted to do something. When Jurgen came to see us, he basically just said he liked Roberto's teeth, that he wouldn't want to go quite as white, but he liked his teeth."

Although, Klopp came out and denied this claim and stated that he did not want to copy Firmino but was forced to have them fixed after an initial medical problem that required antibiotics.

Clubs Jurgen Klopp played for

Klopp the manager will go down in history, but Klopp the player will likely go down as something to forget. Not exactly famous for his technical ability on the pitch, the Liverpool legend played for Tus Ergenzingen, Eintracht Frankfurt II, Vik. Sindlingen, Rot-Weiss Frankfurt and most famously Mainz 05, who he would go on to manage. He does, at least, have one famous moment to look back on in his playing career:

Though, it must be said, Klopp will still be remembered for the heavy metal football that he orchestrated rather than the one that he played as a right-back.

Clubs managed by Jurgen Klopp

Those who will best remember both Klopp's managerial ability and his heartfelt connection with the people are the fans of Mainz, Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool – the three clubs that he has taken charge of in his career. Starting at Mainz, the 56-year-old helped his former club to their first-ever Bundesliga promotion back in the 2004/05 campaign.

From there, Klopp took his success to Dortmund, where he cemented himself among some of the best managers in the world, beating Bayern Munich to the title not once but twice in the Bundesliga, before stepping into the Liverpool dugout with even greater success.

Honours won by Jurgen Klopp

It could be easy to say that Klopp should have won more, given his four Champions League finals and close title race. But the fact is, he has won every major honour that there is to win during his career.

Jurgen Klopp's honours (via Transfermarkt)	Years won
World's Best Club Coach	18/19, 19/20
Champions League	18/19
FIFA Club World Cup	19/20
Bundesliga	10/11, 11/12
Premier League	19/20
UEFA Super Cup	19/20
DFB-Pokal	11/12
FA Cup	21/22
German Super Cup	13/14, 14/15
Carabao Cup	21/22
Community Shield	22/23

He could yet add to that collection with another four trophies this season as well, given Liverpool's place at the top of the Premier League, in the final of the Carabao Cup, and in the next rounds of the FA Cup and Europa League.

Mohammad Nabi’s Mis Ainak Knights chased down 155 with a ball to spare to defeat Rashid Khan’s Band-e-Amir Dragons in the Shpageeza T20 League final in Kabul. Knights ensured Rashid went wicketless in his four overs, and although Mujeeb Ur Rahman plucked two wickets, they went after the other bowlers to lift the title after taking the chase down to the penultimate ball.Knights needed 21 off the last three overs and their captain Nabi struck back-to-back fours off seamer Batin Shah to tilt the scales. But Batin hit back as Nabi holed out off the next ball for 30 off 21, but Sharafuddin Ashraf, the new man in, found the boundary off his first ball. Then, with Knights needing a mere five runs off 12 balls, Mujeeb got rid of Ihsanullah, and Shafiqullah Ghafari was run out for a duck, leaving them needing four off the final over. Tariq Stanikzai, too, was run out for a duck, but Ashraf and Fazal Niazai ushered Knights home in a fairly tense finish.It was 17-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz who had set the tone for the chase with 36 off 25 balls in a 71-run opening partnership with Noor Ali Zadran (42). No. 3 Ihsanullah and Nabi took charge of the innings after the openers fell, but a late-middle-order wobble tightened the chase. From 142 for 2, Knights slid to 152 for 6, but their lower order eventually bailed them out.Having been sent in earlier in the day, Dragons lost their openers Rashid and Javed Ahmadi in the Powerplay, but middle-order contributions from Imran Janat, Afsar Zazai and Shawkat Zaman gave their innings direction; Janat top-scored with 32 off 26 balls, including three fours and a six. Dragons were 109 for 4 in 15 overs, but they took 45 off the last five of their innings to end with 154 for 7. It would not be enough against Nabi’s men.Nabi had played his part with the ball as well, claiming 1 for 34 in his four overs, while seamer Naveen-ul-Haq was the pick of the Knights bowlers with 3 for 41.Knights’ Noor Ali Zadran was the top-scorer in the league with 354 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of nearly 135, while Dragons’ Nijat Masood ended as the top wicket-taker with 11 scalps, despite playing only six games.

Manchester United are looking to bring in Dan Ashworth from Newcastle United, but a twist has now emerged regarding the situation, according to a new update.

Man Utd want Dan Ashworth

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has made it clear that he sees Ashworth as an ideal man to hire as United's new sporting director, as he changes the way the club go about their recruitment, with terms already agreed between the pair last week.

The Englishman has worked wonders at Newcastle, forging a strong relationship with Eddie Howe and identifying top-quality signings, so he could play a pivotal role in looking to help the Red Devils return to the top of English football.

Ashworth has confirmed his desire to leave the Magpies, with United's Premier League rivals placing him on gardening leave, and it is believed that £20m will have to be paid to Newcastle if they want to bring him in straight away.

If not, they will have to wait two years before he can start work at Old Trafford, due to his contract and a significant update has dropped regarding United's pursuit of him, having made an approach.

Dan Ashworth to Man Utd twist

According to Football Insider reporter Pete O'Rourke, Manchester United are not willing to pay £20m in compensation to bring in Ashworth, suggesting his move to Old Trafford could have to wait.

"Man United will not pay £20million to land Newcastle United sporting director Dan Ashworth, sources have told Football Insider. Football Insider revealed last week (14 February) that Newcastle chief Ashworth agreed terms on a move to United and informed the Magpies of his intention to leave.

"Negotiations are now ongoing between the two clubs as the Magpies look to cash in on Ashworth. He is under contract in the north east until June 2026 and it is believed the Tyneside club will initially ask for as much as £20million. Man United have baulked at that initial price tag and talks will continue."

This is clearly a frustrating update for United supporters to hear, considering what a strong appointment Ashworth could be moving forward, but it is no great surprise to see Newcastle holding firm, looking to get as much money as possible in the deal.

Ultimately, it looks as though a compromise is going to have to be reached between the two clubs, landing at a figure they both agree on, or the 52-year-old may not be a Red Devils employee until 2026.

The fact that United have made an official approach is exciting, however, and having not had a proper sporting director in place for so long, unlike rivals such as Manchester City and Liverpool, fans will hope that this is another major step in the right direction, following some poor years at Old Trafford.

There is still lots of work to be done, though, and Ashworth won't solve all the issues on his own, but there is a feeling of positivity growing at the club, with Ratcliffe gaining more power and results improving on the pitch.

Após o empate por 1 a 1 contra o Mirassol, fora de casa, o São Paulo encerrou a primeira fase do Campeonato Paulista como líder geral do torneio. Classificado para a próxima fase, o Tricolor tem direito a realizar quatro trocas entre seus atletas inscritos e, assim, ter novos jogadores à disposição para o mata-mata.

Na coletiva de imprensa depois do jogo, o treinador Hernán Crespo comentou sobre as mudanças que o clube deve fazer.

CONFIRA COMO TERMINOU A FASE DE GRUPOS DO CAMPEONATO PAULISTA!

Da lista inicial de inscritos, o Tricolor tem dois jogadores que deixaram o clube ainda durante a fase de grupos: o meia Tchê Tchê e o atacante Toró. Os dois devem ser alvos de troca.

Para as vagas deixadas pelos dois, o clube já tem definidos, e garantidos por Crespo, os substitutos. O volante William e o lateral Orejuela, novos reforços da equipe, ficaram de fora da lista da primeira fase e, portanto, tomarão o lugar de Tchê Tchê e Toró.

Na entrevista coletiva, Crespo confirmou essa troca, mas alertou para uma possibilidade amedrontadora para o torcedor de que Luciano e Daniel Alves percam a reta final do campeonato estadual por suas lesões recentes.

– Seguramente William e Orejuela vão entrar no lugar de Tchê Tchê e Toró. Depois, devemos ver como estão os machucados, Dani e Luciano. Depois de ter essa notícia, vou decidir.

Na partida da última quarta-feira (5), os dois jogadores tiveram a mesma lesão, um estiramento na coxa. e deixaram o campo contundidos. Ainda não é certo quando os jogadores voltarão e, assim, ambos passarão por observações.

O Tricolor volta a campo na quarta-feira (12), para enfrentar o Rentistas, do Uruguai. O duelo é válido pela quarta rodada da Libertadores e a bola rola a partir das 19h (de Brasília).

Já no Paulistão, o São Paulo ainda não sabe quando jogará as quartas de final, contra a Ferroviária. A data e o horário do confronto devem ser anunciadas nesta segunda-feira (10), pela Federação Paulista de Futebol.

Newcastle United have found out the hard way this season when it comes to the quality needed to compete on every front. The Magpies' summer recruitment has failed to pay dividends and now they're set to go again in the hope of making up for lost time, with one man already on the shortlist.

Newcastle transfer news

Before anything, PIF will need to find a replacement for sporting director Dan Ashworth, who has been placed on gardening leave amid links with a move to Manchester United.

Newcastle have now held talks over two new surprise St James’ Park deals

The duo have struggled for minutes this season.

ByTom Cunningham Mar 8, 2024

Darren Eales, Newcastle United CEO, confirmed the news, telling the club's official website: "We are naturally disappointed that Dan has chosen to leave, however our exciting journey doesn't stop and the process to recruit a new sporting director will begin immediately. We thank Dan for his efforts at Newcastle United and we wish him and his family well for the future."

Whoever takes up the role next will be tasked with taking those at St James' Park back to the heights of last season, when they finished inside the Premier League's top four and qualified for the Champions League. To do that, the Magpies would be wise to turn to players who have experienced that top level, including one summer target.

According to Dean Jones, Newcastle are eyeing a move for Aaron Ramsdale, who has fallen out of favour at Arsenal this season and needs a move elsewhere if he is to gain crucial minutes.

"Brilliant" Ramsdale would face similar problems at Newcastle

At a crossroads in his career, Ramsdale must get his next move right and it must result in a consistent starting place. And that should rule Newcastle out. The England international has already lost his place at Arsenal to David Raya and a move to St James' Park would hand him a similar obstacle in displacing Nick Pope.

Pope, currently out injured, is Eddie Howe's clear number one, which is unlikely to change with the arrival of Ramsdale.

It remains to be seen just how much of a fight Arsenal will put up to keep Ramsdale too, with Mikel Arteta singing his praises earlier this season, saying via Arsenal Insider: “He’s fully prepared.

قدّم إنزو ماريسكا المدير الفني لتشيلسي الإنجليزي، أنباء إيجابية بشأن فريقه قبل المباراة المرتقبة أمام ليفربول.

ويلتقي تشيلسي وليفربول ضمن منافسات الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، في مباراة تقام بين الفريقين يوم الأحد القادم.

وقال ماريسكا في مؤتمره الصحفي اليوم الجمعة: “أخيرًا أصبحنا جميعًا متاحين، لدينا فريق جاهز تمامًا متاح للاختيار، باستثناء اللاعبين الموقوفين (كوكوريلا وفوفانا)”.

ولم يشارك ريس جيمس في أي مباراة تنافسية خلال موسم 2024/25 بعد إصابته خلال فترة ما قبل الموسم، وقد أعلن ماريسكا عودته.

وأضاف: “ريس جيمس متاح، لقد عاد، عمل معنا طوال فترة التوقف الدولي، لقد عاد أخيرًا، جسد ريس لا يستطيع اللعب مرتين في الأسبوع على سبيل المثال، لذا فإن أحد الحلول هو أن نحاول إدارته بنفس الطريقة التي نتعامل بها مع روميو لافيا”.

وأكمل: “في الوقت الحالي أعتقد أن هذا يمكن أن يكون الحل إشراكه مرة واحدة في الأسبوع، في المستقبل؟ لا أعرف، الحل هو اللعب ببطء شديد، في المستقبل قد نتمكن من تغيير الأمر، ولكن في الوقت الحالي نحتاج إلى إشراكه مرة واحدة في الأسبوع”.

وعن تعيين توماس توخيل مدربًا للمنتخب الإنجليزي، والانتقادات حول تولي مدرب غير إنجليزي تدريب الفريق أفاد: “كل التوفيق لتوماس ولا شيء أكثر من ذلك”.

وواصل: “إذا قرر المسؤولون ذك، أعتقد أن ذلك لأنهم مقتنعون ولست أنا من يحكم على ما إذا كان ذلك صحيحًا أم خطأ، كل التوفيق له، الأمر صعب”.

وعن ما إذا كان توخيل قد اتصل بأحد أعضاء طاقمه الفني، أوضح: “لقد اتصل بأحد أعضاء طاقمي الفني ونحن منفتحون تمامًا على الأشخاص الذين يريدون الرحيل وإجراء التغييرات إذا أرادوا ذلك، نحن منفتحون ويسعدنا أن يرغب الناس في البقاء، إذا أرادوا الرحيل، فيمكنهم الرحيل”.
