El rumor es el combustible en la cobertura del mercado de pases y uno de los últimos que involucra a un jugador mexicano es aquel que habla de un posible intercambio entre Cristiano Ronaldo y nuestro querido Chucky Lozano.
¿Es real? ¿Hay chances de que ocurra? ¿O todo es un invento de los medios para robar uno de mis valiosos clics? Bueno, aquí haremos una biopsia al rumor en cuestión.
As a soccer writer with a heavy focus on U.S. Soccer and American players abroad you would think that I knew all the details about the biggest players. I thought that was the case until I learned that a Christian Pulisic Mike Wazowski tattoo exists.
The American and Chelsea No. 10 has a nice sleeve of tattoos on his left arm filled with clues of his past and interests. I never knew that in Nov. 2021 Pulisic added "Monsters Inc." character Mike Wazowski dribbling a Champions League ball to his arm.
During Chelsea's USA Tour, Complex invited Christian Pulisic and Ben Chilwell over to their popular show "GOAT Talk" where they ask celebrities to crown their all-time greats, whether that's food, music, vacation spot, cars, etc.
Because they are athletes, it was expected for the show to deliver questions that would be interesting to see.
The first question, though, followed with some almost heart-wrenching comments from Chilwell – saying he has no clue who Landon Donovan or Clint Dempsey are.
And so it begins. On Sunday, Erling Haaland made his Premier League debut for Manchester City and scored two goals during his 78 minutes on the pitch.
History says this is largely what we should expect from the 22-year-old. With Borussia Dortmund, Haaland averaged a goal every 86 minutes (62 in 5,388) while his career average in the Champions League is one every 77 (19 goals in 1,463 minutes).
Guardiola said it best after the match: "He was born to score goals."
With 37 matches still to play, it's time to bring the curtain down on the 2022-23 Premier League season. On the limited evidence of Matchday 1, here's how things are going to shake out over the next nine months, guaranteed.
#1. Manchester City's Going To Win The League
MANCHESTER, England - New manager Erik ten Hag saw the depth of the crisis at Manchester United when his side fell to a 2-1 Premier League defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Sunday, with German Pascal Groß scoring twice.
United fans' hopes that the off-season would mark a turning point have faded, with the club failing to make major moves yet in the transfer market and there was a grim familiarity to the club's opening match.
Chelsea defeated Everton 1-0 in the Blues' Premier League opener, however a horrifying Ben Godfrey injury early in the first half dampened the mood in Goodison Park.
In the 18th minute of the game Godfrey had to be stretchered off the field, put on oxygen and taken to the hospital after a terrifying injury to his right ankle while trying to make a tackle on Kai Havertz.
Fans are furious at the linesman for not seeing that the ball had clearly gone out of play moments before the injury.
American and Leeds United fans couldn’t have had a better Saturday as USMNT forward Brenden Aaronson grabbed a game-winner, sort of, in a 2-1 victory vs. Wolves. He and Tyler Adams looked great in their first Premier League game.
With the score tied at 1-1 late in the second half and Wolves looking the more threatening side, Leeds and manager Jesse Marsch needed something special.
A dangerous and precise pass from Adams got the move started for Leeds and then a cross from Patrick Bamford found Aaronson for the winner in the 74th minute.
The Premier League season is officially underway and it’s fair to say critics are doubting Manchester United. Even The18’s Premier League table prediction has United finishing sixth. Will this potential Manchester United starting XI 2022-23 lineup prove the doubters wrong?
As the Premier League began its 2022-23 season to much fanfare on Friday evening in London, an Arsenal banner flying over Selhurst Park reminded fans of the darker side of top-level sports.
Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 in the opening match of the Premier League season on Friday. As the match began, a plane carrying a large banner flew over the stadium, calling for rapists to be kicked off the pitch.
