It is always insisted from within Barça that “the Neymar affair will return”. It is because Barça knows something since last summer that the rest does not know; It is because his name sells newspapers, the Brazilian always returns. The first covers of the year 2020 are also for him. Mundo Deportivo entitled: “Neymar goes up”. His theory has more to do with sports and commercial. From Barça, always according to MD, they consider that since Kane and Mbappé are unattainable, Neymar is the only icon that is free at this point and that the conviction of trying to sign him in June 2020 grows. Sport, meanwhile, center its cover on the legal path. “Neymar, exit operation,” he says. According to this media, crack already prepares the legal exit to return to Camp Nou and ceases to be in the protected period of the PSG.

The twenty-fourth day from LaLiga SmartBank He had eleven protagonists that we detail below. Sabin Merino (Deportivo) scored his second goal in two games with his new team. Herrera (Lugo) and Ibra (Oviedo) were fundamental with their goals. Pomares (Alcorcón) was the most detailed defender of the day.GoalkeeperDani Jiménez (Alcorcón) Alcorcón accumulates more than two months without winning and the situation begins to be worrying. Before Elche, the Madrid team had a bad time, especially when he stayed with one player less for Laure’s expulsion. However, throughout the game the figure of Dani Jiménez emerged. The goal made four stops, (two from within the small area), to save a point.DefensesSaveljich (Lightning) Oviedo is still struggling not to fall into the well of the red lantern from which Galicians from Deportivo already appear. Ibra was the ‘guilty’ of another halo of hope for carbayones. The Senegalese jumped to the pitch in 67 ‘and changed his face to his own. In addition, he put the equalizer with a great goal of area forward.Sabin Merino (Sports) He left the field in the second half in place of the injured Milic and his performance was essential to rescue a point of El Toralín. At 17 minutes from the end he went ahead to Gazzaniga in a center to the Embarba area, and with his head, put the equalized. He already has three goals this season.Spanish (Numancia) The Elche defender opened his scoring account this season with a goal against Alcorcón. In his goal he was ready, picking up a rebound after a previous shot by Folch to the post. In addition to scoring the only goal of his team, he stood out in defense, where he barely made mistakes and had a 74.2% success in the pass.Pomares (Alcorcón) The proper name, along with coach Fernando Vázquez, of this resurgence of Coruña. The Basque has scored two goals in the two games he has been wearing the blue and white jacket of Deportivo. So many that are worth gold when approaching the goal of permanence. His goal against Cádiz, only against goalkeeper Cifuentes, speaks very well of the ability to define the attacker. MidfieldersGaku (Sports) This Deportivo is rising from the hand of some signings that are finally giving the level that is presupposed to them.Gaku is one of them. Before Cádiz, the Japanese was the helm of the Coruña. Quality, game vision and abundant talent in its performance. His was the assistance in the goal of Sabin Merino, tense, measured and at the exact moment.Curro (Numancia) The Lugo can breathe easy this week. Their victory against Granada makes them sleep outside the descent. Victoria worked, suffered and heart for their fans. The Lucense man-goal, Christian Herrera, again made an appearance in this vital duel. The striker caught a dead ball in the middle of the second half and did justice in the Anxo Carro.Ibra (Oviedo) This Numancia is surprising its own and strangers with its great season. The Sorianos, who in summer had as their main objective to avoid the descent, have settled in the playoff. His player Curro is one of the protagonists of this great team. His performance against Sporting, outstanding. Assistance to Higinio and volley to sentence.Benito (Las Palmas) The goal of the Alcorcón tie also had a defensive flavor. Very complete game of the versatile player. With 0-0 on the scoreboard, he was about to score, in a play he cooked himself (with a ball recovery), and then put Badía to the test. In the second part did not fail: Sosa’s great pass and better definition of the side. A fixed in the eleven of the Numancia in the last four days and in ascending progress. Before Sporting, Adri Castellano played one of his best games. The central appeared everywhere. In attack he had two occasions, one ended up inside but the VAR ended up canceling it. In defense it was shown without errors: six clearance, one interception and one blocked shot.Dani Calvo (Elche) Las Palmas is a team full of talent in attack and weaknesses in defense. The visit to El Sardinero gave a good example of this. However, in the Canarian bonanza there is a player who shined more than anyone, Benito. The end was the catalyst for all of Mel’s danger and tied for his own in the 90’s, with a missile to the right squad.StrikersHerrera (Lugo)
On the match with Kyrgios, he threw flowers at the all the time controversial Australian. “When he performs like immediately and is constructive, he brings many constructive issues to our sport as a result of he’s one among the nice abilities that we have now on the circuit and it has been seen all through the match, “he praised.” It was a really robust recreation, at first I had extra management. In the second set he obtained the break as a result of my errors and made it tough for me. I performed a really dangerous recreation with 5-Four in the room to shut, attempting to get well mentally, “he analyzed. His quarterfinal opponent on Wednesday will probably be Austrian Dominic Thiem. “A really robust opponent as a result of we all know one another very nicely and he is a good good friend on the circuit, He hits it very exhausting, serves very nicely and was at an ideal stage in opposition to Monfils, however I feel I’m in the proper route after profitable Pablo Carreño and one among the finest like Kyrgios. He all the time tries to do his finest and is a prime participant. I’ve to be at my finest stage to have choices, “he warned.In the subsequent press convention he insisted on his constructive imaginative and prescient of Kyrgios: “I’ve by no means criticized his type of play, sure I criticized him it was for a few dangerous issues he did for this sport and for kids, however when he does it nicely I’m the first to assist him.

Once I play exchanges I really feel roughly in management, however when he takes out you don’t have many choices. It’s the identical story while you play with good punches, and in the case of Nick, good participant from the backside, ”he concluded. Rafa Nadal additionally wished to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant after defeating Nick Kyrgios and entering into the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. Beforehand, the Australian had gone out on the court docket with the T-shirt of the former participant, who died Sunday in an accident helicopter The primary answered John McEnroe, in the interview on observe for Eurosport, touched by a Lakers cap.“I woke up with that horrible information and I’m tremendous. I woke up at seven, checked out my cellular phone and it took me two hours to return to sleep. Kobe is one among the best athletes of historical past and deserves this applause, “he inspired the stands to hitch the tribute.” I knew him, had as soon as been with him and We have now an ideal shut good friend, Pau Gasol. He’s somebody with whom I’ve grown up, seeing his triumphs. It has served as inspiration and can all the time be in our hearts even when this can be a day we need to neglect “He continued.
It goes without saying that the worst part was taken by the player himself – right now absolutely sunk -, mainly because they had assured him that it was a minor mishap and that in fifteen days he would be recovered. Things like this generate an absolute distrust of the players to the doctors. Nevertheless, Dembélé called the delegate worried the next day: He was still hurting his thigh a lot – he was already cold – and he could hardly support his foot because his leg was not supporting him. The doctors got down to work and they did more tests again, with the surprise, tinged with disbelief, that the ultrasound now showed a total rupture of the proximal tendon of the biceps femoris of the right leg. An injury that they did not know to see in the first tests and that leave in a very bad place the medical leaders of Barcelona. And we are not talking about a small break, which can escape in the diagnosis, but a complete break. Apart from the doctors, the recuperators are also indicated. And once again there has been a relapse in a rehabilitation. Do not forget that Leo Messi this season was a month off due to poor recovery management. And now it has happened again, in the case of Dembélé, a similar situation, but it is even more serious.And also him communication department is under the shadow of a doubt because it has gone from issuing concise and clear medical statements to others that are much more diffuse and sometimes provide more misinformation than information.It cannot be ruled out that in the next few hours there will be some movement in the area of medical services because its head of responsibility, Ramon Canal, has more than one open front. In fact, on Tuesday afternoon there was a medical summit where there was more than one reproach. It remains to be seen if finally his own Josep Maria Bartomeu Take action on the matter bound by the events.
The Dembélé case perfectly exemplifies the degree of bewilderment and folly that has taken over the club in recent months. One of the departments of the club that was the jewel in the crown of the entity, the medical services, has led to a series of errors and erratic decisions that are putting in breach the prestige that had been forged over the years.Last Monday, during morning training, I trembled He retired before the end of the session when he noticed a puncture in the back of the right thigh. Evidently all the alarms jumped on ‘Can Barça’: It was the same area where the player had been injured two months ago and from which he was about to recover and be discharged. The first tests that the player underwent – an ultrasound scan in the Ciutat Esportiva – ruled out the breakage and simply indicated some discomfort from “muscular fatigue”. So that, the club issued a statement in a reassuring tone, ensuring that the player would continue “with his recovery.”
