“Gio could become very important for us this season” : BVB sporting director gives update on youngster’s future

/

“Gio could become very important for us this season” : BVB sporting director gives update on youngster’s future Over the years, the Westfalenstadion has seemed like a mid-point for promising young stars to join, develop and leave for a high fee to even bigger clubs, most notably the examples of Ousmane Dembele, Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham come to mind. But BVB have not yet run out of options as per young stars are considered. USMNT’s Giovanni Reyna was supposed to be the next big thing in American football, but continuous injuries have put a question mark as to if that will ever be the case. The American is a versatile player and can provide a huge boost to any squad if fully fit. But recently, things have not been looking that up for the 21-year-old. The attacking midfielder/winger has been linked with several clubs throughout this summer, after falling down the pecking order and not being able to land a berth in the starting 11, whether it is due to injury issues or related to form. So far this campaign, Reyna has made only one appearance off the bench as regular playing time keeps getting away from him. “I haven’t heard that the player wants to leave” : Sebastian Kehl provides update regarding Reyna’s future After an unsuccessful loan spell in the Premier League with Nottingham Forest, where the American joined during the winter transfer window, he confirmed his desire to stay put in the Black and Yellow brand for now, and continue developing in hopes to get a call for starting games regularly. Club sporting director Sebastian Kehl reconfirmed this recently, and spoke about the rumours of the 21-year-old leaving and how he can still impact games and is an important part of the squad. “He has to accept his role and free himself from it. It was clear when we held the talks in the summer that Gio wanted to take on this role. That there would be enough games where we would need him. We know that he has incredible skills. Gio could become very important for us this season. There are no other thoughts. There’s nothing on the table and I haven’t heard that the player wants to leave,” said Kehl in an interview with BILD. “He worked on himself, worked on his stability, worked on his confidence. His clever movement between the lines and his goal threat – he’s developed that further,” the 44-year-old added. Although nothing has been fully ruled out yet, it does seem like Giovanni Reyna will stay at Dortmund for at least one more season. The summer transfer window is about to close soon as well, and the American will need to make a keen impression in order for his desire to be fulfilled.

“It’s very difficult to play football without a centre-forward” : Gary Neville believes Manchester United require a change in playing style

/

“It’s very difficult to play football without a centre-forward” : Gary Neville believes Manchester United require a change in playing style Manchester United endured their first loss of this season away at the American Express Stadium against Brighton. An injury time goal by Joao Pedro was enough to seal the 2-1 victory for Fabian Hurzeler’s side. We could argue that the Red Devils were unlucky with the goal of Alejandro Garnacho being ruled out courtesy of the ball touching Joshua Zirkzee in an offside position, but seeing the bigger picture, there seems to be a big question mark around what Erik ten Hag’s approach will be going forward, mainly for the final third. So far, the Dutchman’s 4-2-2-2 system is like a flip of the coin, sometimes working wonders while other times failing miserably. But the one constant remains the lack of finishing play. Due to both Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo playing considerably wide, there is no focal point as to where the ball should be played in the box. “The balance isn’t right” : Gary Neville on Ten Hag’s counter-pressing formation Football pundit and former Manchester United player Gary Neville commented on his thoughts regarding a change in formation and tactics, and thinks that a change is about to come. “The balance isn’t right. That 4-2-2-2 which Erik ten Hag is going with, I don’t mind it but I would’ve thought Amad and Rashford would be split striker in a box midfield. But we’re finding at times that those two are so wide they’ve got nothing up front at all. He [Ten Hag] had to correct it at half-time, and he has to correct it vs Fulham in the second half as well. I’d expect next week they’re gonna change the system vs Liverpool,” said the 49-year-old (via The Gary Neville Podcast). “It’s very difficult to play football without a centre-forward. It’s almost as if they gave away the first half. They didn’t play badly but it was nothing really. United’s game began at half-time,” Neville added. While the current system did provide the Red Devils with good results in the latter half of the previous season and also an FA Cup win against neighbours Manchester City due to its counter-pressing and off the ball movement abilities, the lack of a conventional striker makes them miss crucial chances which leads to regret later on in the matchup. Manchester United will be playing their biggest rivals Liverpool at home the next matchday, and Arne Slot’s team will be anything but forgiving if the Red Devils keep on missing key chances. Erik ten Hag will most likely switch things up to form a simpler yet more effective playstyle for a better pattern during pressing and finishing in the final third.

“Don’t think Andre or Pete would hang out together” : Boris Becker ‘stunned’ after viral photo of Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner spending time together before US Open

“Don’t think Andre or Pete would hang out together” : Boris Becker ‘stunned’ after viral photo of Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner spending time together before US Open The world no.1 and 2 in tennis were spotted together in New York having a nice time together ahead of the final Grand Slam of the year. Social media reacted surprisingly well to the rivals’ latest happenings, as they were spotted playing a fun game with stickers and pickleball rackets. The relationship between the youngster and veteran has always been competitive yet very professional, with the Serbian admiring the Italian’s grit, talent and most of all potential, while in turn Sinner expressed how playing against Djokovic has made him a better player and has also admired him for his longevity numerous times. However, amidst the sea of positive reactions, former world no.1 tennis player Boris Becker also admired the picture, but also sneaked in a clever little comparison as to how times were different back when he was a player. “Different strokes for different folks” : Boris Becker on how things were different during his playing career The German has remained to be one of the most iconic figures in tennis, rising into stardom when he won the 1985 Wimbledon at the age of just 17. The six-time Grand Slam champion was also Novak Djokovic’s coach for three years. Becker reacted to the viral photo and brought out some clear differences which time has set apart in the world of tennis. “Nice picture! Imagine in my days hanging out with John, Ivan or Jimmy …impossible! Maybe with Stefan, Mats !? Don’t think Andre or Pete would hang out together ( with me ) few days before the Open starts !!! Different strokes for different folks !” said Boris Becker via X (formerly known as Twitter). Boris Becker revealed that he and others in his era would have never hung out with their rivals together, let alone days before a Grand Slam tournament. While some people agreed on the fact that tennis has gone ‘soft’, others understood what the German was trying to state and that he would have loved to be this close to his competition back in his days of playing. While enjoying each other’s company now, the top 2 players in the world will soon be in their competitive spirit with both eyeing the US Open major. The Italian will be coming off his most recent victory in the Cincinnati Open, while the 37-year-old will be fresh off his moment of glory in the Olympics. If pit against each other in the later stages of the tournament, we can hope for a classic to be played in NYC.

“When he came in he was unbelievable” : Mikel Arteta lavishes praise on Arsenal forward’s performance at Villa Park

“When he came in he was unbelievable” : Mikel Arteta lavishes praise on Arsenal forward’s performance at Villa Park In all the top flight leagues, squad depth for a club may well be the most essential thing to bring home the league title. Due to the season being very long, players get injured more often than not. Fortunately for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal, that is one thing they need not worry about. The Gunners defeated Aston Villa at their home 2-0, thanks to Leandro Trossard’s spectacular performance off the bench. The Belgian scored minutes after coming on and was the heart of the attack throughout the second half. Thomas Partey gave Arsenal their second goal leading to a fantastic result for the North London club in their quest to clinch the league title this season. The Spainard was delighted by the 29-year-old winger’s performance and was all praises for him post-match. He also suggested that the Belgian is an example for the rest of the team and that more players with this kind of mentality are needed in the sport. “The competition is big, we have great players in each position and they are gonna have to accept that. We have a huge season ahead of us and you need players to impact. He did last year when he started, when he was a sub today he did that, he gave us a headache now for the weekend,” said the 42-year-old (via Sky Sports). Mikel Arteta reveals that Leandro Trossard was upset after the match Scoring minutes after coming on, the Belgian had somewhat of a nonchalant reaction which led to fans debating and having mixed opinions about it. Some thought it was Trossard’s way of having a ‘cold’ celebration while others hinted that the Belgian reacted this way to give his coach a sign that he should be in the starting lineup. When asked about the celebration, the 29-year-old indirectly confirmed his wish to be a starter. “Everyone wants to start and play games, it’s nice to help the team and score goals. There are so many emotions. When you score, it’s like you don’t know what is happening,” said the super-sub. Mikel Arteta also spoke about this and confirmed that the Belgian was visibly upset, but not necessarily for reasons fans and media are thinking about. “When you don’t get picked there are certain ways to react, for Leo, he is upset, he is upset to show on the pitch how good he is. Not upset because he is not playing. And that is a huge quality. When you put him in the starting XI he does the exact same thing and that is a big example for the rest of the team. When he came in he was unbelievable. That is what we need,” said the Gunners manager. The Gunners’ next challenge will be facing an unbeaten Brighton side, which also happens to be Leandro Trossard’s former club. The Belgian will more than likely receive the chance (or even get to start) against his ex-team and show Mikel Arteta that he is capable of being a bona fide starter for the team.

“I would have finished higher” : Lewis Hamilton rues missed chances at Dutch GP

“I would have finished higher” : Lewis Hamilton Lewis Hamilton rues missed chances at Dutch GP The seven-time world champion had an off Dutch Grand Prix, as he was surprisingly eliminated in the Q2 itself. While the Briton had an impressive recovery drive in Zandvoort after receiving a three-place grid drop for impeding Red Bulls’ Sergio Perez in Q1, it was ultimately not enough. The Briton began the race from position 15th instead of 12th, which already got him frustrated ahead of Q2, and revealed that he had already accepted defeat. “It just went downhill like a domino effect from the moment with Checo [Perez], then the balance just got more and more snappy, more and more ‘oversteery’ – it was terrible.” Lewis Hamilton before being hit with the grid penalty. “It’s definitely very, very frustrating, naturally, but it is what it is. It’s kind of the weekend done, and I’ll have to move on to next week [at Monza].” the Briton added. The 39-year-old started off on the soft tyre to make up early ground, and then switched back to the hard ones, before taking another set of softs during pit stop. Hamilton also almost caught on his fellow teammate George Russell, but in the end had to settle for an unfortunate eighth position. “We planned to do a two stop and started on the soft, it was a very good tyre, the soft tyre felt better than the medium tyre on practice day. The hard tyre was fairly decent, it was really difficult to see what I needed to do whether to push – I was on a two – so trying to use up the tyre but wasn’t sure whether or not we might go for a one.” the veteran explained. “I had a bit of a lock up which meant I had to stay on my strategy. Probably if I’d have done one stop I might have managed it a bit better, maybe finish one place ahead,” Hamilton added. Lewis Hamilton blames his qualification error for poor weekend After receiving the penalty for impeding Sergio Perez, the Briton did not give up and had some pretty strong runs which helped him get back up to the eighth spot. He was often the fastest driver on track and also revealed his recovery drive to be ‘fun’. “If I just qualified like I should’ve qualified and if I didn’t have a problem in qualifying, then yeah [I would have finished higher], I think I had the pace today to easily, definitely [finish] in the top 5. If I started fourth for example then I would’ve finished at least fourth.” The 39-year-old told the media present at the track. After a harsh yet disappointing race where the veteran showed a lot of promise, he will have to move on and display his recently improved performances with the resurged AMG Petronas next week in the Italian Grand Prix held in Monza, in the hope to bounce back to pole positions.

“This can’t happen at an elite level” : Frances Tiafoe criticizes the lack of video replays during the Cincinnati Open amidst controversies

“This can’t happen at an elite level” : Frances Tiafoe criticizes the lack of video replays during the Cincinnati Open amidst controversies Frances Tiafoe is continuing to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of tennis this year, with the American constantly trying to improve each ATP tour, and his up rise in the ATP rankings reflect that as well. But off-court, the 26-year-old voices his strong opinions on controversial takes which reflects his dominant personality. Most recently over the course of the Cincinnati Open, Tiafoe has strongly opined on the fact that there were no video replays available in any matches, which lead to controversial decision making and players, coaches and fans all getting frustrated. The American felt that the lack of simple video technology in these times was shocking, that too in such a big event where the top ranked players in the world were set to perform. Two controversial incidents occurred in Cincinnati in two different matches, first with Taylor Fritz against Brandon Nakashima, and the second one involving Jack Draper and Felix-Auger Aliassime, both overlooked by chair umpire Greg Allensworth. But due to the absence of video replays, both decisions led to controversy and dissatisfaction among the affected players. Frances Tiafoe also took to Instagram to call out the ATP in an attempt to fix such issues. “Bro this gotta get figured out. This happened to me last week. Do better @atptour. Y’all please do better,” the American wrote on Instagram after the Taylor Fritz’s controversy. Frances Tiafoe on the US Open having video technology and how his confidence affects his gameplay The US Open on the contrary will receive high-end video replays, due to it being one of the Grand Slams. Frances Tiafoe was delighted with this news and expressed his opinions and the difference it creates during crucial match moments. “Yeah, very happy to have that. Very happy to have that. I think it’s very, very big. There’s a lot on the line that you’re playing for. You know, I mean, some things that happened last week, I feel like this can’t happen at an elite level, We’re talking about top of the game, our biggest events outside of slams. I think it’s a really, really good thing. You know, technology is so good now, I think it should be covered in that way for sure,” said the 26-year-old during a press conference.  The American was also asked upon his recent form, to which he explained as to why confidence is necessary to win and that his passion for the game helps get the crowd behind him as well. “I think there’s a big difference (smiling). I think there’s a massive difference. I think the one thing you see is a lot more joy and excitement when I’m playing when I’m really confident. The level of fear I instill in my opponent, for sure,” said the American. “Yeah, I find I’m much more aggressive, much more sure of myself. I get the crowd into it, play with much more passion, energy, than when I’m not. I think it’s two different Franceses, for sure, when I’m in that mode. I think, you know, it’s really good for the game, as well.” Tiafoe added. Both physical and mental prowess are required in a player to make deep tournament runs, and Frances Tiafoe has been doing that throughout the year. In the final Grand Slam of 2024, the American will face against Aleksander Kovacevic in the first round, and we sure hope for a controversy-less matchup.  Also Read : “I got into people’s business many times on the court”: Andy Roddick addresses on-court issues at Paris Olympics

“What has he earned to deserve that status” : Noah Lyles another chapter in ongoing ‘beef’ with Tyreek Hill

“What has he earned to deserve that status” : Noah Lyles another chapter in ongoing ‘beef’ with Tyreek Hill Ever since Noah Lyles’s comments during the 2023 World Athletics Championship about the NBA ‘world champions’ gimmick, fans on social media have been onto the American runner thinking that he intentionally threw a sour one on the NBA. But in actuality, Noah Lyles’ words were indeed correct and was also trying to convey that he wants the athletes who represent their countries receive the same love that the NBA gets. But most recently, the Olympic gold medalist has a new challenger in the media in NFL player Tyreek Hill. The 30-year-old publicly stated that he would beat Noah Lyles in a race, and after the Olympian finished third in the 200m race, Hill had some harsh words to say. “Noah Lyles can’t say nothing after what just happened to him. You know what I’m saying? Then he want to come out and pretend like he’s sick. I feel like that’s like horseradish. So, for him to do that and say that we’re not world champions of like our sport, like come on, bro, just speak on what you know about, you know what I’m saying? And that’s track. I would beat Noah Lyles. No, I wouldn’t beat him by a lot, but I would beat Noah Lyles,” said the Miami Dolphins wide receiver in an interview with Kay Adams. Meanwhile, the current world’s fastest man was not to be shut down. Lyles was recently asked about whether he would put his Olympic gold on the line against Tyreek Hill in a race if it ever happens, to which he had a hysterical reaction to. “What has he earned to deserve that status? Play football and he is a great football player. But you don’t get to jump the lines because you think you are fast. There are tons of those people in the world out there,” said Noah Lyles in an interview on the Dan Patrick Show. Will a race between Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill ever happen? As of now, besides the banter the two have put up each other to, there is no clear indication if the race will ever happen. Tyreek Hill is one of the fastest ever players in the NFL, with the 30-year-old having a personal best of 4.29 seconds in the 40-yard dash. So, if the race ever happens, we can surely see it for it to be a close one. Tyreek Hill also possess the widely popular name of ‘cheetah’ in the NFL, but Noah Lyles made sure to joke around even that, and to nobody’s surprise, social media took full advantage of it. “Ummm, what’s that’s guy, what’s the cheetah guy from football? Well, I can’t remember his name. Mark! What’s the football player who thinks he’s fast name? Tyreek Hill,” said the 27-year-old in a humorous yet insulting manner. In a world where we saw YouTube personality iShowSpeed (who Tyreek Hill refused to sprint with) race Travis Scott of all celebrities, we never know if this race might happen or not. But if the beef escalates even more, it is safe to say that both athletes will put their money where their mouth is.

“It’s one of the toughest places to go” : Mikel Arteta speaks ahead of tricky trip to Villa Park

/

“It’s one of the toughest places to go” : Mikel Arteta speaks ahead of tricky trip to Villa Park Mikel Arteta and co. started off with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Wolves in their opening game of the 2024/2025 Premier League season. The Gunners are now set to face Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, but the alarm bells may be ringing due to the horrors of the past season. Arsenal was all but set to win their first Premier League title after two decades last season, but two successive defeats to Aston Villa along with a goalless draw against Manchester City at the Etihad made the Gunners slip up yet again, with Pep Guardiola obviously grabbing the opportunity with both hands to go four for four. A win against Unai Emery would have granted Mikel Arteta glory, but the team was ultimately unable to capitalize home and away. In the pre-match press conference at the Sobha Realty Training Centre, the Spainard was asked about how he would manage the team against his fellow Spanish manager this time around, and why they were unsuccessful in the previous season, to which Arteta had a simple yet tactical response, while also giving credits to Villa. “They scored and we didn’t, it’s very simple. In two games we had an enormous amount of chances to do that, and that was the big difference. There were other details for sure which we have analysed, and we will have to do better tomorrow because they are a really good side with a good coach. They dominate every aspect of the game, when you give them space to run they are phenomenal, when there is no space and they have to find it they can do that. In any restarts or set-pieces, they are at it, and that’s why they did what they did,” said the 42-year-old (via Arsenal.com). “It’s one of the toughest places to go for sure. We know that, we’ve prepared really well to understand what we have to do to go there and win the game.” Arteta on playing against Villa away so early in the season. Mikel Arteta on the importance of getting a result against Unai Emery The careers of Mikel Arteta and Unai Emery are somewhat intertwined, due to the Arsenal connection. Emery was Arteta’s predecessor, managing the club from May 2018 to November 2019, a difficult time to say the least, as he was succeeding the legacy left by the great Arsene Wenger. After a disappointing year and half, he was eventually replaced by Mikel Arteta, who has completely revamped the club five years in the making. Both the Spaniards share a close professional relationship with mutual respect for each other, but after Emery’s double over Arteta last season, the Arsenal manager was asked if he had any personal score to settle. “Personally? I don’t do things personally, I just have the will to win and prepare the team in the best possible way, regardless of who we are playing against,” said Arteta. While it may not be personal at the moment, Mikel Arteta will certainly need to outwit Unai Emery this time around for no early slip ups in the long title race waiting for them ahead. But for now, an exciting yet crucial Saturday awaits the Gunners at Villa Park.

Leo Messi injury update and possible return date revealed for Inter Miami

/

Leo Messi injury update and possible return date revealed for Inter Miami Lionel Messi has had an injury riddled 23/24 season and the stretch seems to continue on and off the past year. Due to this, the Argentine captain had an off Copa America tournament as well (going by his usual standards) having only two goal contributions, but on par his usual in other key statistics. The last straw came when the 37-year-old suffered a gruesome ankle injury in the final of the Copa America against Columbia, where he unfortunately had to be subbed off with tears in his eyes. Although Argentina eventually won after a late extra time winner by Lautaro Martinez, it was a sad sight to behold for fans to see the greatest player of all time crying while on the bench. Messi has also been ruled out in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers for Argentina in early September, as head coach Lionel Scaloni does not want to put pressure on the veteran to return earlier than possible. Lionel Messi is currently enjoying vacation with his teammate and family friend Luis Suarez, but he is also focused on rehab to strengthen his ankle and aims to recover before the important MLS playoffs begin. Inter Miami currently stand first in the Eastern Conference table, and a fit Lionel Messi will heavily increase their chances of winning the MLS for the first time. “The club wants Messi to get back into shape during September” : Hernan Claus Recent news regarding Messi’s injury revealed the possible dates as to when he will be available, with the key target of him returning before the match against Philadelphia Union on September 14. “There’s hope he might play some minutes against Chicago Fire on August 31, but the key target is the September 14 match against Philadelphia Union. Inter Miami is patient, aiming to have him fully fit for the playoffs starting in late October, with the goal of winning the MLS,” via journalist Hernan Claus from Diario Ole. “Everyone agrees that Messi needs to be managed carefully, which is why there is a lot of calm around him. Over the next few days, he will start intensifying his training. The club wants Messi to get back into shape during September.” Claus added. Inter Miami failed to defend their historic Leagues Cup victory from last year in which the 37-year-old shocked the western world by producing one of the most impressive overall campaigns in football. David Beckham and co. will surely hope the Argentine recovers quickly in order for a steady road ahead of the MLS playoffs. As for the eight-time Ballon d’or winner, he is already the most decorated player in football history, but leading a club to their maiden league title would just be another record tick marked in the books.

“I know I can jump higher” : Mondo Duplantis on setting greater world records

/

“I know I can jump higher” : Mondo Duplantis on setting greater world records The Olympics is the greatest event for any athlete to showcase their abilities. The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris set new records of viewership, passing over a billion worldwide. And with the world watching, Sweden’s jewel Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis set yet another world record in pole vaulting, soaring at 6.25 meters high in the fully packed Stade de France. Mondo Duplantis is considered the greatest pole vaulter of all time, despite being only 24 years of age. Rightly so, as the Swedish is the world outdoor and indoor record holder (6.25 metres or 20 feet 6 inches, and 6.22 metres or 20 feet 5 inches, respectively), two-time Olympic (2020 and 2024) champion, two-time World outdoor (2022 and 2023) and indoor champion, and current European champion. But despite setting new records, making headlines and setting social media ablaze, the 24-year-old is still not satisfied and wants to raise the bar even higher. “I know I can jump higher, and I want to jump a lot higher, I would like to jump over 6.30m,” said Duplantis (via Olympics.com).  “I visualised this exact situation 1000 times in my head” : Duplantis before his final attempt at the world record The Swedish is currently at the prime of his career, and there seems to be no holding back for him even after setting world records multiple times. Duplantis’s consistency is one of the key attributes that sets him apart from his other competitors, as the 24-year-old more often than not jumps higher than 6 meters. The Swedish also has the support from his father Greg Duplantis, as his very own coach. Greg being a highly regarded pole vaulter in his time, has been instrumental for his son’s training and development regime which focuses on maintaining his speed, strength, timing and technical prowess. Duplantis also works with specialized sports psychologists to make sure he remains confident in high pressure situations. “When I was sitting on the back of the runway, I felt like I’d been there 1000 times because I’ve been visualizing this moment for such a long time. I’ve visualized and dreamt of this moment since I was just a little kid, like looking at the world record height at the Olympic final. For it to actually happen, the way that it did, especially in that stadium with the most amazing crowd that I’ve ever been a part of, it’s kind of hard to beat. And I’m okay with that. I don’t think I really need to beat it because it’s probably not really beatable,” said the two-time Olympic gold medalist. Very rarely it has been seen in sports that an athlete has dominated in such a way that there is no clear competition for him, because at this point, Mondo Duplantis is having a competition with himself. It would be to nobody’s surprise if the Swedish eventually breaks his own record yet again, as Duplantis continues to grow his legacy and is now on the verge of the 6.30 meters mark.
