Max Dauman’s amazing talent!

I’ve been waiting all preseason just to see him play alongside a talent as dazzling as Max Dauman!

Arsenal beat Girona 4-1 today in a friendly, with the 16-year-old Max Dauman contributing to two of those goals—he scored one and set up another!

The truly dazzling moment was the play right in front of you: Dauman received the ball with his outside foot while in an open position, cutting inside against the pressure of a Girona defender.

He cleverly shook him off and played a through ball that set up the goal!

He’s only 16 years old but has incredible confidence, as if he were playing with his friends on the school playground.

He possesses extraordinary skill and touches the ball frequently while running because he keeps his feet flat on the ground.

He also played against opponents much older than him and became the youngest player to score a goal in Premier League history!

Arsenal has developed a talent who’s going to take the world by storm in the future.Arsenal

Real Madrid, led by Mourinho, played a friendly match against Fiorentina today and tied 2–2, but let’s set the score aside and focus on the formation you see here!

Today, Mourinho played with three defenders in his build-up and deployed Arnold as a right-back, while shifting play to the left flank to draw out the opposition, isolate Arnold, and direct play toward him. Why?

Because Arnold is a brilliant passer—and he’s even more impressive when he’s given time and space on the ball and is positioned in the middle of the field rather than on the wing, allowing him to cover the entire pitch. Consequently, Arnold delivered an excellent performance and was instrumental in the second goal by breaking the pressure with his pass; overall, he completed 9 out of 11 long passes!

The only downside in this match was that Mourinho sat deep after scoring two goals, and Real Madrid currently lacks defenders who excel at defending space or dealing with crosses. That’s why the team needs to sign a defender—it’s essential!

Mourinho plans to deploy Arnold in this role, with Kokoria on the opposite flank in the back three. This is the best way to utilize Real Madrid’s fullbacks and get the most out of them.

Manchester United has been hiding its true potential for a long time!

Manchester United played a friendly match today against Atlético Madrid and won 2–1 in a game featuring this winger right here, 18-year-old “She Lasi,” a product of the Manchester United Academy!

This kid has truly incredible talent; he was the only one who could break up Atlético’s defensive blocks when they were pressing high, thanks to his low center of gravity and perfect ball control, which allow him to make decisions faster than those around him!

In the play you see here, Lacy earned a penalty kick today, and the defender thought he’d move wide to create space inside, but he received the ball and drove it through.

In the last two matches against Rosenborg and Atlético, he managed to score a goal, earn a penalty, make 4 successful dribbles, and win 8 duels!

What makes United fans so excited about this kid is that he trained with Liverpool, Everton, and Manchester City, but his father chose for him to play for United because he saw it as the place where his skills would truly flourish.

Lacy is a rising Manchester talent, and he’s coming on strong.

I just can’t wrap my head around the idea that there’s a coach other than Pep Guardiola leading Manchester City!

Enzo Maresca, Manchester City’s new coach, led the team in a friendly match against Inter Milan that ended in a 1-1 draw—a game in which he gave a glimpse of his tactical approach for the upcoming season!

Marisca played a 3-2-2-3 formation today, positioning Rico Lewis as a wing-back next to the defensive midfielder, with Foden and Rindres playing between the lines.

Semino and Savinho were the wingers on the flanks, and he was able to isolate Semino in one-on-one situations against the fullback with his back to the goal, taking advantage of Semino’s speed with the ball—and Semino indeed delivered a great performance and set up a goal!

The highlight of the second half was the substitution of Ayet Nouri for Rendres, who played as an attacking midfielder and, as usual, excelled in any position.

Overall, I think Ayet Nouri can play as a left-back alongside Elliott Anderson, and Savinho is an excellent winger who shouldn’t be let go.

Likewise, Makedo, the academy winger, had an impressive second half.

This was the first Manchester City match I’ve watched without Pep Guardiola on the sidelines in a full 10 years—Pep is truly going to leave a huge void!Manchester City

When Barcelona fans hear this news, they’re literally going to go crazy!

The newspaper *Mundo Deportivo* published a report today stating that UEFA has issued strict instructions to referees: if any player touches the ball with his hand inside his team’s penalty area during play, a penalty kick will be awarded immediately!

These instructions have made the clip you see here a trending topic in Europe right now. The incident took place four months ago during the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals between Barcelona and Atlético Madrid.

What happened was that Atlético Madrid goalkeeper “Mousso” passed the ball with his foot to defender Marc Pobel, who decided to stop the ball with his hand, but the referee did not call a penalty.

Pobel had already received a yellow card at that point, and the score was 1–0 in favor of Atlético.

So it was a chance for Barcelona to equalize, and the match would have continued 10 vs. 10 after the send-offs of Kubarsi and Popel!

But the match ended 2–0 in favor of Atlético, and Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League by a one-goal margin on aggregate—a short, sad story!Barcelona

Arsenal is seriously going all out and is really going to sign Vinícius!

According to David Ornstein, Mario Cortigana, and Hand of Arsenal, Arsenal has agreed to all personal terms with Vinícius and accepted all his demands. If Vinícius doesn’t renew his contract with Real Madrid, he’ll officially move to Arsenal!

The real buzz is that the Hand of Arsenal account announced Arsenal’s offer: 128 million pounds + 15 million in add-ons + an annual bonus of 5 million pounds + a signing bonus of 12 million pounds—absolutely astronomical figures!

Ernstin and Cortijana reported that Arsenal’s sporting director, Berta, sees Vinícius as the star of the project and has presented him to the club; for this reason, Arsenal will make an exception for Viní on the salary scale!

The final decision rests with Florentino Pérez; if he approves the player’s departure, Vinícius will officially move to Arsenal, making it the biggest and most significant transfer in the club’s history!Arsenal

Remember Modric, the guy Chelsea bought three years ago for 70 million euros? … Well, today is one of the happiest days of his life. Let me tell you why.

Exactly two years ago, Modric stopped playing soccer for four years because of a doping test that revealed he had taken a substance called “meldonium,” which was banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency!

This substance is supposed to be used to treat magnesium deficiency and irregular heartbeats, and it also improves performance. But the problem was that they didn’t know how long it took for the substance to be excreted or how long it remained in the body, which is why Modric stepped away—and he himself admitted to taking it!

What happened next was that the agency ruled the substance was not a violation, so they contacted the English Football Association to lift Modric’s suspension after two full years of not playing soccer. The good news is that Chelsea announced Modric’s inclusion in the team’s training camp in Hong Kong, and he’ll be with them next season!

Imagine if Modric had fulfilled his dream of joining Chelsea, only to face a four-year suspension and lose hope for his soccer career—but then the rules proved fair to him and his dream was reborn. It’s an indescribable feeling.Chelsea

If Casemiro wanted to star in the movie *The Secret Agent*, he wouldn’t have done what he did today!

Exactly two days ago, Casemiro came out and said that many clubs wanted to sign him, including some in Italy, but he chose to move to Inter Miami because he dreamed every day of playing alongside Messi, helping him win more titles, and becoming an even greater player than he is now!

What happened was that Casemiro played his first game with Messi today, and the score was 1–0 in favor of Inter Miami. Casemiro made a bad pass to an opponent, who scored an own goal—these things happen!

Inter Miami scored a second goal and remained ahead until the 85th minute. Casemiro lost his cool, committed a reckless foul, received a yellow card, and his team conceded a goal from that free kick, ending the match in a draw. Check out Messi’s reaction.

Casemiro is determined to show Messi what he’s made of—both the old and the new!
