Football Love

Bernardo Silva was named MVP and although the Juventus player had his partner next to him, he was one of the few who did not congratulate him at the moment.

He conquered the League of Nations with a solitary goal from Guedes and added it to the last and recent European Championship. William Carvalho annulled De Jong. Last game of Undiano.

industrial Portugal of Fernando Santos, which won the European Championship with defense and without the ball, repeated strategy to proclaim itself the first champion of the new League of Nations. A solitary goal by Guedes gave him the title at home and confirmed the Portuguese dominance in European football today. His are the last two titles at stake. Next year, in Euro 2020, you must endorse it.

Fernando Santos, great strategist, annulled the Netherlands putting William Carvalho on top of De Jong. He followed him to the area when he wanted to receive and would have accompanied him to the service if necessary. With that first obstacle in the beginning, the Dutch lost their best footballer and, what is worse, they lost the ball. Portugal rubbed his hands in front of such a flood of gifts, put in another gear and activated his most offensive people.

Meanwhile, the figure of Bruno Fernandes stood out, apparently fragile with legs but immense in the shot from afar. Footballers who cheat from their appearance are undoubtedly the most dangerous. The midfielder of Sporting Portugal tested up to four times before the break, a siege that raised O Dragao despite missing the goal.

Holland knew itself in problems, but it did not detect the solutions. Not even the entrance of Promes nor the forward position of Wijnaldum opened a new horizon for him. The Portuguese pricked their skin whenever they could. Guedes, hyperactive, and Bernardo Silva, trickster, worried about the bands even more than Cristiano around the center. Between both they drew the goal that sentenced the encounter. Bernardo Silva disguised himself as Laudrup and gave a pass without looking at Guedes, who shot Cillessen. The Barça goalkeeper could do more, in any case.

The challenge that was presented to Holland was huge. Going back to the host and at home was a greater challenge than overcoming France, Germany and England, as he had done until the final. But this team of Koeman represents the recovery of romantic football and with that premise ended up dying. Depay could tie, also De Roon, even De Ligt finished 9. Europe has a king and is Portugal. The champion of the Eurocopa and now also champion of the League of Nations.

Bernardo Silva, chosen best player

Bernardo Silva was chosen as the best player in the League of Nations, after Portugal won the trophy against the Netherlands. The midfielder of Manchester City was instrumental in both the final and the semifinal. Against Holland gave the assistance of Guedes goal, which ultimately meant the title, while against Switzerland gave the pass to Cristiano of his second goal. On the other hand, the recent signing of Barcelona, ​​the Dutchman Frenkie de Jong, was chosen as the best young player of the tournament.

The coach would welcome the presence of the Malaga in the next team, but the club says it must leave on loan to accumulate experience.


The coldness of Zidane with Vinicius contrasts with his determination regarding Brahim (19), another reason for disagreement with the club. The white coach bet on the presence of the Malaga next year. His confidence in the former City was certified in the final stretch of last season by granting him ownership in four of the last five games and a total of 370 minutes.

"He's delighted with Brahim," they point from the club. However, from the main floor they insist that the best option is for Brahim to be the one chosen to leave the short list of young people he forms with Vinicius and Rodrygo (18 years old). The will of the club is that foguee in a team of less demand, but Zidane would see with good eyes keep it among the 25 soccer players ahead of Vinicius.

Brahim already showed his desire to remain in Madrid. "I want to be in Madrid, yes and yes, and I want to play in the best club in the world," he said after his important performance at Anoeta a month ago, with a goal included.

Zidane never spared praise for his figure: " I like that he always goes to the goal and uses both legs. He likes to associate ... He is a good player, very interesting and young. We will see what we are going to do next year, but at the moment he has had minutes and he has done well. " Public praise from Zidane is proof of the positive assessment it has of the Andalusian footballer. Brahim responded with interesting numbers in the opportunities available: two assists and a goal.

Fernando Santos still regrets having put Cristiano in that 2003 match against United when he was a Sporting coach.

Fernando Santos and Cristiano Ronaldo can make history this Sunday with the achievement of the first League of Nations if they win in the final to the Netherlands. It would be the second major tournament in Portugal in three years after leaving the European Championship 2016.

The partnership between player and coach was founded long ago. Specifically in 2003, when Fernando Santos became the coach of a talented and physical young man named Cristiano Ronaldo at Sporting de Portugal.

Fernando Santos had been in the Lisbon bench for a few weeks and 'committed' one of the errors of his career when he put on the field a Cristiano Ronaldo with only 18 years in a friendly against Manchester United on the occasion of the inauguration of José Alvalade. The English did not waste time and tied the 'other' Ronaldo (as some called him then).

17 million euros for the coffers of Sporting and a regret that still torments today the coach of Portugal who hours before the transcendental meeting recognizes that he should not have gotten on the field. "I'll say it again, I was surprised when I saw this player at 19 years old. I should not give him minutes against Manchester United, I was left without him for having let him play ... ", he acknowledged.

In those minutes, Cristiano gave a soccer exhibition with two assists. "It was that day when we realized the quality he had," added Santos.

The Portuguese coach believes that the physical condition of the Juventus footballer will allow him to be seen in the stadiums for another four years. "I think it's going to take another three or four years. He has certain and strong objectives that lead him to always have a good physical condition and with very high degrees of intensity. It is not very common to see a player scoring 50 goals with 34 years and that is why I think it will continue for a while longer, "he said.

The second stage of Leonardo in Paris Saint Germain envisions a convulsive scenario in almost all the layers of a club that anxiously seeks to succeed in Europe at once. The arrival of the Brazilian will be a reality in a matter of days, but some are already grappling with the coming shock. Undoubtedly, this signing will have a greater impact on Antero Henrique, according to Le Parisien. The sports director will be dismissed at the same time that Leonardo takes possession after two seasons with shadows and lights. They have signed stars like Neymar and Mbappé, but have not been able to put together a contact team. In fact, he spent a year looking for a replacement for Thiago Motta tumbling through several clubs in Europe.

It will also affect Al-Khelaïfi. 

The Qatari president will have less space at the time of making decisions, but perhaps it is not a bad idea after a few hectic weeks in which justice investigates him for an alleged case of corruption and money laundering in the World Athletics concession to Qatar. In addition, the president of PSG is an entrepreneur with interests in other fields outside football and must attend them in person. So the arrival of Leonardo would keep him in the shade.

Tuchel must not lower his guard either. 

Leonardo lands in Paris with the confidence deposited in a coach renewed at the end of May until 2021, but vigilant against what will be his test of fire. In fact, the French press believes that Tuchel will not receive much more in this summer market, something that has complained this season on multiple occasions for having a template too short in his opinion.

Cavani can be the protagonist of the great first decision of Leonardo in terms of footballers since the PSG needs to enter 60 million euros before July 1 to comply with the other two transfers of Mbappé and Neymar. The Brazilian was in charge of carrying the negotiations with Napoli in 2013 and now he may just have to find an exit. The Uruguayan striker would not look with bad eyes to face a new project in a big Europe.

Cristiano Ronaldo wants more

Holland, tough opponent in the final of the League of Nations. Koeman has resurrected a Dutch team that did not go to the World Cup or the European Championship

In that cockfight between Cristiano and Messi to dominate his individual record, the player of Juventus can land in the middle of selections if he wins the League of Nations (follow the game live on As.com). Cristiano has 26 titles at club level and Messi 34; However, the Portuguese raised the Euro of 2016, while Messi never won anything with his selection at an absolute level. That is what is highlighted by one and criticized by the other.

It will be another incentive to enjoy a final that measures two booklets, two generations. Holland is a romantic challenge to current football. Koeman has managed in a single year to build a great team with the remains of a selection absent in the last World Cup and European Championship.

Two beardless teenagers have been fundamental in this growth: De Ligt in the back and De Jong in the creation. If a selection has been good this League of Nations, both in the group stage and in the Final Four, has been to Holland. In just a few months he has defeated Germany, France and England, the other day, on his way to the final today. A high.

Without Pepe. Portugal, on the other hand, demonstrated in the semifinals that with Fernando Santos there is no place for improvisation. Its secret is the tactical and defensive order, and the stuck of Christian above. Thus won the last European Championship. It is not brilliant, but it is effective. Today the coach will not have Pepe, one of his defensive bastions and out of competition after injuring his shoulder blade in front of Switzerland. On the other hand, Joao Felix will remain at the top with Cristiano despite his poor role in the semifinals. It is waiting for you.

The winner will be the first champion of the League of Nations and will also pocket 10.5 million euros. It will not fit a pin in O Dragao, as the Portuguese pretended when asking to be the hosts. The match will put the finishing touch to a revolutionary idea of ​​UEFA that began between doubts and ends with a Christian-Holland.
