国足集结最强阵容战沙特！7人出局 2人驰援国足3大惊喜

DIWIDA.NEWS football clubs, football players, soccer, sports, tournaments

3月15日，国足主帅伊万科维奇和国足教练组公布，3月21日客场出征沙特27人大名单。国足这份名单共淘汰掉7人，他们分别是：门将：韩佳奇，中卫吴少聪、边后卫汪士钦、中卫刘浩帆、后腰黄政宇、徐彬、边锋侯永永。

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3rKh" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3rKh.jpg"/>

 国足32人初选名单


 其中，对归化球员侯永永无缘客战沙特队名单争议很大。侯永永在2024年获得挪威甲级（二级）联赛金靴，而且他还获挪甲联赛年度个人MVP，而挪超豪门罗森博格队在赛季结束后，向侯永永发出加盟邀请。侯永永可以踢边锋，还可以踢前腰，对于这样一位准挪超水平球员，居然无缘国足27人客战沙特名单，这确实有些说不过去了。现在侯永永已经返回云南玉昆队，不知道这次落选对侯永永信心，会不会产生动摇。

<div>

</div>

 国足主帅伊万后期补招了，山东泰山队中场李源一，而且巴西中场塞尔吉尼奥归化成功，火线加入国足战沙特。特别是“塞鸟”火速驰援国足，可以补强国足在中场最为薄弱位置。塞尔吉尼奥的加入使国足“如虎添翼”，伊万将对国足人员和阵容使用，显的更加得心应手。李源一种塞尔吉尼奥驰援国足，对于伊万和国足真的是“雪中送炭”。

 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3DXk" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3DXk.jpg"/>
</div>

 这期国足战沙特27人大名单，至少有3大惊喜！


 1，U20国青王钰栋和刘诚宇入选，显示了伊万要将国足彻底年轻化魄力。现在国足在中锋位置上，只有张玉宁一名能背身拿球做球球员，而且张玉宁又有小伤在身，对阵科威特热身赛，张玉宁也没有出场。刘诚宇具备背身拿球做球能力，他的入选将做为张玉宁替补。而王钰栋在边路突击能力很强，如果国足在客场对阵沙特比分落后时，王钰栋在边路突击能力将会有大作用。

<div>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3DXq" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3DXq.jpg"/>
</div>

 2，塞尔吉尼奥入选让国足攻守有了统一指挥枢纽，以前的国足是马明宇、郑智、吴曦负责指挥攻守体系。现在国足中场没有统一指挥球员，显的相当混乱，塞尔吉尼奥具备分球、做球、传威胁球能力，而且“塞鸟”还有一定防守能力。“塞鸟”能力应该是强于前国足队长吴曦的。

<div>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3ur9" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3ur9.jpg"/>
</div>

 3，从国足入选战沙特27名球员情况来看，我们基本集结了最强阵容：


 中锋：张玉宁


 前卫：韦世豪、塞尔吉尼奥、谢文能


 后腰：王上源、李源一


 后卫：李磊、蒋圣龙、蒋光太、高准翼


 门将：王大雷


 客场比赛以稳为主，4231攻守平衡进可攻退可守。下半场王钰栋、拜合拉木、刘诚宇、李源一、胡荷韬，可替换上场加强攻守力度。

<div>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3HRu" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3HRu.jpg"/>

 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3DXv" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3DXv.jpg"/>
</div>

 现在日本队16分独一档，澳大利亚队7分，印尼队、沙特队、巴林队、国足都是6分，C组5支球队形成“混战”局面。如果国足在沙特身上拿1分，也是非常好的局面。如果在沙特身上拿3分，那是意外之喜。大家认为客战沙特应该拿几分呢？

 Lionel Messi tidak terdaftar dalam tim utama Argentinia yang akan bermain melawan Uruguay dan Brasil di jeda internasional kali ini.
 


 Pada hari Senin tanggal 17 Maret 2025 malam waktu Indonesia bagian Barat, sang pelatih Lionel Scaloni mengumumkan daftar pemain tim nasional Argentina yang akan berlaga dalam dua laga kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 di zona CONMEBOL melawan tim nasional Uruguay serta tim nasional Brasil.


 Pada pengumumannya, Scaloni memberikan kejutan dengan menghilangkan nama Lionel Messi.


 Sebenarnya, bintang terkenal berumur 37 tahun tersebut awalnya termasuk dalam daftar sementara timnas Argentina yang mencakup 33 pemain pada tanggal 2 Maret kemarin.


 Fabrizio Romano, seorang jurnalistik terkenal dari Italia, menyampaikan informasi bahwa Messi tidak bermain dikarenakan mengidap cedera otot yang cukup ringan pada bagian adduktor.


 Masalah itu dihadapi Messi sesudah bermain dalam laga melawan Atlanta United yang merupakan bagian dari musim MLS 2025 pada Minggu waktu lokal.


 Kehadiran Messi yang tidak ada tentu merupakan hilangnya besar untuk Argentina.


 Sebab itu, La Pulga menjadi pemain kunci bagi tim tersebut.


 Keberhasilan Argentina memperoleh gelar bergengsi seperti Piala Dunia dan Copa America dalam beberapa tahun belakangan ini tidak lepas dari sumbangan signifikan Messi.




 Messi telah mencatatkan 191
 
 caps
 
 bersama Argentina.


 Dari total pertandingan tersebut, mantan kapten Barcelona itu sukses mencetak 112 gol dan 61 assist.
 
 assist.
 


 Menurut jadwal, tim nasional Argentina akan mengunjungi lapangan rumah Uruguay yang terletak di Stadion Centenario pada pertandingan mendatang.


 Pertandingan itu akan berlangsung pada hari Sabtu (22/3/2025) jam 06.30 WIB.


 Hanya empat hari setelahnya, tim tango menghadapi Brazil di Stadion Monumental.


 
 Berikut adalah tim utama Argentina yang akan bertanding melawan Uruguay dan Brasil:
 


 
 Kiper
 


 Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa), Gerónimo Rulli (Olympique Marseille), Walter Benítez (PSV Eindhoven)


 
 Bek
 


 Berikut adalah daftar pemain belakang yang disebutkan: Nahuel Molina dari Atletico Madrid, Gonzalo Montiel dari River Plate, Germán Pezzella juga berasal dari River Plate, Leonardo Balerdi bermain untuk Olympique Marseille, Juan Foyth membela Villarreal, Nicolás Otamendi memperkuat Benfica, Facundo Medina berada di Lens, dan Nico Tagliafico mengasuh tim Olympique Lyon.


 
 Gelandang
 


 Leandro Paredes (Roma), Enzo Fernández (Chelsea), Rodrigo de Paul (Atlético Madrid), Exequiel Palacios (Bayer Leverkusen), Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool), Máximo Perrone (Como), Giuliano Simeone (Atlético Madrid), Benjamín Domínguez (Bologna), Thiago Almada (Lyon)


 
 Penyerang

4 Pemain Hilang dari skuad Timnas Indonesia Sebelum Bertemu Australia: Satu Penjaga Gawang dan Kejutan di Antara Gelandang

DIWIDA.NEWS football clubs, football players, indonesia, soccer, sports

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1AARJq" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1AARJq.jpg"/>

 
 Empat atlet dari tim nasional Indonesia akan dieliminasi sebelum bertemu dengan Australia guna mencapai jumlah total 23 pemain yang telah dilaporkan pada suatu laga.
 

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B2yic" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B2yic.jpg"/>

 Laga menghadapi Australia makin mendekat bagi tim nasional Indonesia.


 Timnas Garuda telah sampai di Sydney dan sedang menantikan kehadiran dari seluruh 29 pemain yang akan bergabung.


 Patrick Kluivert sebelumnya telah mendaftarkan 30 pemain dalam daftar sementara tim untuk pertandingan melawan Australia dan Bahrain.


 Namun, satu pemain dipastikan tidak berangkat ke Australia yakni Egy Maulana Vikri yang masih berkutat dengan cedera.




 Untuk laga lawan Australia yang akan digelar lebih dulu, timnas Indonesia akan mendaftarkan 23 pemainnya sebagai kewajiban regulasi.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1AEtXH" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1AEtXH.jpg"/>

 Artinya akan ada 6 pemain timnas Indonesia dari 29 yang dibawa akan dicoret.


 Setelah Egy, ada 2 pemain lagi yang sudah pasti tercoret karena larangan bermain.


 Mereka adalah Ragnar Oratmangoen dan Justin Hubner yang sama-sama mengantongi kartu saat lawan Arab Saudi, November silam.


 Maka tinggal 4 pemain lagi yang dicoret dari timnas Indonesia untuk masuk 23 daftar susunan pemain lawan Australia.


 memahami dari daftar pemain yang dipanggil, kemungkinan kecil bagi Patrick Kluivert untuk mencoret pemain dari posisi gelandang.


 Sang meneer hanya memanggil 6 pemain berposisi gelandang yakni Thom Haye, Ricky Kambuaya, Ivar Jenner, Marselino Ferdinan, Nathan Tjoe-A-On dan Joey Pelupessy.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1wmM8j" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1wmM8j.jpg"/>



 Sehingga pemain bertugas di posisi tersebut kemungkinan besar akan selamat dari penghapusan.


 Satu posisi yang pasti dicoret adalah penjaga gawang.


 Saat ini di provisional skuad timnas Indonesia memiliki 4 penjaga gawang, termasuk Emil Audero yang baru saja dinaturalisasi.


 Ketua Umum PSSI Erick Thohir telah mengonfirmasi bahwa posisi sebagai penjaga gawang utama diduduki oleh Maarten Paes, sementara penggantinya adalah Emil Audero.


 Tinggal satu kiper liga domestik yang akan diperebutkan Nadeo Argawinata atau Ernando Ari untuk mengisi pos kiper ketiga.


 Selanjutnya, 3 pemain yang dicoret akan berasal dari posisi striker dan pemain bertahan atau bek.


 Dua pos ini paling banyak diisi dalam pemanggilan kali ini, bek ada 12, sedangkan striker ada 8.




 Posisi bek tengah juga paling banyak di skuad, karena ada 8 pemain yang dipanggil menjadi bek tengah utama di klubnya saat ini.


 Sementara, di posisi striker utama ada 6 pemain yang memiliki gaya main serupa.


 Mungkin ini adalah preferensi pribadi Patrick Kluivert yang saat aktif bermain dulu juga merupakan striker nomor 9.


 Dari 6 pemain berposisi striker tengah, memprediksi ada satu atau dua pemain yang akan dicoret.


 
 Berikut Daftar 30 Skuad Provisional Timnas Indonesia:

River Plate podría alinear a sus titulares pesados ante Ciudad de Bolívar en su debut en la Copa Argentina

DIWIDA.NEWS argentina, football clubs, news, soccer, sports

La próxima miércoles, a partir de las 21.15 horas, el equipo Millonario debutará en el torneo más federal del país.

 Después de igualarlo 0 a 0 con Deportivo Riestra en la décimo jornada del Torneo Apertura,
 River
 Ya dirigió la atención hacia ella.
 Copa Argentina
 .
 
 La próxima miércoles, a partir de las 21.15 horas, se llevará a cabo un evento en el Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades ubicado en Santiago del Estero, donde los equipos estarán presentes.
 
 Marcelo Gallardo
 
 se verán las caras con Club Ciudad de Bolívar
 
 por los 32avos de final del certamen más federal del país.


 Para este encuentro, Marcelo Gallardo no podrá contar con nueve futbolistas producto de las lesiones y de las Eliminatorias Sudamericanas, ya que tres jugadores fueron citados. Con este panorama, el once que pondría el Muñeco sería:
 
 Franco Armani; Fabricio Bustos, Federico Gattoni, Leandro González Pirez, Milton Casco; Rodrigo Aliendro, Matías Kranevitter, Maximiliano Meza, Franco Mastantuono; Ian Subiabre y Miguel Ángel Borja.
 


 
 Cabe recordar que Diego Placente convocó a Mastantuono y Subiabre a la Selección Argentina Sub 20, pero que por un pedido de River, los futbolistas recién se sumarán el día 20 de marzo, así puede jugar por Copa Argentina.
 
 Se estima que los dos pibes irán desde el arranque frente a Ciudad de Bolívar. De hecho, ambas joyas de la cantera riverplatense compartieron cancha el pasado sábado ante Deportivo Riestra ya que Subiabre ingresó por Facundo Colidio cuando este pidió cambio por una molestia muscular, la cual luego se confirmaría que fue un desgarro.

<h2>
 River quiere romper una racha de seis años
</h2>

 Se sabe de la exigencia de Marcelo Gallardo y claramente la Copa Argentina será uno de los objetivos del año.
 
 La última vez que el Millonario se quedó con este certamen fue en 2019 cuando superó en la final a Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero en la final
 
 , aquella noche en Mendoza fue victoria para los de Núñez por 3 a 0. Desde entonces, River no volvió a ganar el certamen más federal del país. Sin ir más lejos, e 2024 sufrió una dura derrota por penales ante Temperley, partido clave para que el ciclo de Martín Demichelis comience a tambalear.

Hong Kong Faces Nepal After Tough 1-3 Loss to Manchester United

DIWIDA.NEWS asia, football clubs, hong kong, soccer, sports

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1FOJxL" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1FOJxL.jpg"/>

 Kathmandu, May 31 – Ranked at number 153 in the FIFA Men's World Rankings, Hong Kong may pose an unexpected challenge for Nepal. Interestingly, this team gave headaches even to Manchester United, winners of the Premier League 13 times, during the club’s post-season tour in Asia.


 On Friday, at the Hong Kong Stadium, Manchester United overturned their hosts with a final score of 3-1. Interestingly, Hong Kong managed to score first.


 Throughout the match, Hong Kong focused on defense and capitalized on errors made by United. Their efforts paid off in the 19th minute when Juninho converted their initial attempt on target into a goal. Juninho managed to score past Tom Heaton near the posts.


 It wasn’t an underwhelming team from Manchester United that Hong Kong faced. Ruben Amorim fielded Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlung in the starting lineup. Later in the game, Mason Mount, Amad Diallo, Manuel Ugarte, and Kobbie Mainoo were brought on as substitutes.


 Substitute player Chido Obi provided United with some respite when he scored in the 50th minute. Later, he sealed the turnaround by netting his and their second goal in the 82nd minute. As the match approached its conclusion following 90 minutes of regular play, Ayden Heaven extended the lead to 3-1 during the added injury time.


 This marked Hong Kong's first defeat following an undefeated streak of eight games, which included seven victories and one tie. Since their 3-0 victory against Cambodia on October 15, 2024, they remained untouched until United intervened.


 After playing against the ASEAN All-Stars at Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on May 28, Manchester United traveled to Hong Kong. The team, managed by Amorim, concluded their Premier League season in 15th place and missed out on qualifying for the Champions League following their loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final. Their tour of Asia was aimed at strengthening connections with supporters across the continent.


 The last time United competed in this area was way back in 2013 when they beat the home team Kitchee with a score of 5-2 at the Hong Kong Stadium.


 At present, Hong Kong’s coach is Ashley Westwood, who began his playing career at Manchester United's Academy. He later played for clubs such as Bradford City, Sheffield Wednesday, and Wrexham. After retiring from professional football, Westwood took charge of various teams within both India’s and Afghanistan’s national squads.


 On June 10, Westwood’s squad will go up against India in the third round of the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. Likewise, Nepal will compete with Laos on the same day for this tournament. Prior to these Asian Cup qualifier matches, however, Nepal and Hong Kong have scheduled an international friendly game at the same location where Manchester United secured victory last Friday.


 Among the 37-player initial roster announced by the Hong Kong Football Association on May 12 for the match against Nepal and the qualifying rounds with India, were the athletes representing Hong Kong.

How Sunny Niyomugabo Is Reshaping Patriot BBC From the Ground Up

DIWIDA.NEWS athletes, basketball, football clubs, soccer, sports

The Patriots Basketball Club faced a tough season due to the exits of crucial members like Dieudonné Ndizeye and Will Perry, along with their longtime head coach Henry Mwinuka, who moved on to lead Tigers. At the beginning of the season, these changes raised worries that the team could struggle significantly, possibly missing the playoff spots altogether. Yet, nearing the end of the regular season, the club has shown remarkable resilience; they stand proudly in second place with 25 points.
 Moreover, the Patriots achieved a notable feat earlier in the season by defeating defending champs APR with a scoreline of 71-62. This comeback was spearheaded by Sunny Niyomugabo, aged 35—a comparatively younger yet unseasoned coach—who assumed leadership after Mwinuka left. As both a previous member of the Patriots and an aide under Coach Mwinuka, Niyomugabo began leading this season right after transitioning into coaching roles just last year from active participation in sports until 2023. During his athletic tenure, he represented various teams such as Marine Basketball Club, KBC, APR, IPRC-Huye, and finally the Patriots himself.
 Niyomugabo expressed to Times Sport how stepping up from assisting duties presented significant challenges. "Being a primary leader means bearing all responsibilities—when things go wrong, fingers point towards me," he explained candidly.
 Drawing upon lessons imparted during his days working alongside Mwinuka, Niyomugabo highlighted improvements within the current roster. Despite initial doubts regarding relative strengths compared to opponents’ lineups, victories can be attributed largely to understanding shared goals among teammates. Their immediate aim remains securing qualification for playoffs before aiming higher thereafter.
 Reflecting back on personal achievements, Niyomugabo recalled pivotal moments contributing to success stories throughout his years competing professionally. Particularly noteworthy were contributions aiding KBC secure championship titles around 2010–2011 period followed by transitions involving high-profile moves between prominent franchises like APR where consistent top-three finishes were secured consecutively across multiple campaigns led primarily by Kenyan mentor Cliff Owuor.
 His journey extended further reaching international stages representing Rwanda nationally since debuting internationally through junior ranks culminating eventually onto senior levels participating prominently via continental competitions hosted locally elsewhere too.

Onyedika and Onyemachi Secure Club Honors

DIWIDA.NEWS european football, football clubs, football players, soccer, sports

Bruno Onyemaechi
 
 Raphael Onyedika stood out alongside other talented Nigerian footballers in European competitions this past weekend. Both players secured significant domestic titles for their respective teams—Olympiacos and Club Brugge—with their impressive performances, according to PUNCH Sports Extra.
 
 
 In the Belgian Cup final held at the King Boudewijn Stadium in Brussels, Onyedika played a key role in midfield as Club Brugge narrowly defeated their bitter rivals Anderlecht with a score of 2-1. The 24-year-old significantly influenced the early part of the game, controlling play through precise passes and strategic movements.
 
 
 His impact was clear leading up to both goals, with Brugge scoring two times before halftime thanks to Romeo Vermant, who finished calmly following crosses delivered by Hugo Siquet and Christos Tzolis. Onyedika’s steady positioning in midfield effectively disrupted Anderlecht’s counterattacks and offered a strong foundation for the offense.
 
 
 In the 74th minute, he was replaced amidst a standing ovation from the Brugge supporters who recognized his contribution to the team's 12th Belgian Cup victory, their first title since 2015.
 
 
 At the same time in Greece, Onyemaechi played a key role as Olympiacos clinched the Greek Super League championship with a decisive win against PAOK at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium on the last day of the season.
 
 
 Even though the Piraeus team had secured their 48th championship title prior to this game, the encounter was still marked as a festive conclusion. The 26-year-old Nigerian defender, recruited from Portuguese club Boavista in January, continued his strong performance playing as a left-back. He effectively neutralized PAOK’s attempts on the right flank before being replaced in the 63rd minute.
 
 
 Onyemaechi’s quick adjustment to Greek football has been impressive, culminating in his first European league championship during this noteworthy six-month period. He is also aiming for a domestic double as the Greek Cup final against OFI approaches on May 17.
 
 
 In another part of France, Super Falcons' goalie Chiamaka Nnadozie emerged as the heroine when Paris FC broke their 19-year title drought by beating Paris Saint-Germain 5-4 in a penalty shoot-out to clinch the 2025 Coupe de France Féminine. After a scoreless draw following 90 minutes at Calais, Nnadozie made two vital saves during the penalty kick stage to secure the win.
 
 
 This stood out as a pivotal moment in Nnadozie’s club history because it represented her initial trophy win in Europe and solidified her status as one of the most dependable shot-stoppers in female football.
 
 
 The adventures of the group during the weekend have bolstered Nigeria's increasing tally of global accolades, with more expected soon, notably for Victor Osimhen, who has a chance at winning both the Turkish Super Lig and Turkish Cup titles.

Simba Clinch Victory Over JKT Tanzania, Keep Title Hopes Alive

DIWIDA.NEWS africa, football clubs, soccer, sports, tournaments

In Dar es Salaam, a decisive early goal by Fabrice Ngoma secured Simba SC's narrow 1-0 win over JKT Tanzania in the Mainland Tanzania Premier League clash on May 5, 2025, at the Major General Isimuhyo Stadium. Just prior to halftime, Ngoma scored after receiving a precise assist from Uganda-born forward Steven Mukwala during one of the game's pivotal junctures.
Although only a single score separated both teams, it provided Simba with full points and bolstered their chances in the ongoing competition for the league crown. This triumph has propelled Simba to accumulate 63 points across 24 fixtures, closing the margin behind current frontrunners and historical adversaries Young Africans (known as Yanga) who lead with 70 points through 26 matches played so far.
Simba retains two additional games yet to play; thus maintaining competitive prospects heading into the latter stages of the campaign. Conversely, this outcome positions JKT Tanzania ninth within the rankings chart, amassing 32 points via 27 appearances. Regardless of the setback, the military-backed squad demonstrated commendable performance against formidable opponents like Simba, matching intensity until the conclusion.
The contest posed significant challenges even for established powerhouses such as Simba due largely to robust opposition displayed consistently throughout by disciplined and strategically astute JKT Tanzania formation.
Post-match comments from Simba manager Fadlu Davids highlighted appreciation toward player perseverance under pressure conditions: "This wasn’t straightforward whatsoever. Credit goes immensely to every participant displaying grit alongside tenacity... Their relentless struggle ultimately delivered our success."
Conversely, JKT Tanzania mentor Ahmed Ali conceded minor slip-ups impacted proceedings negatively albeit expressing satisfaction regarding broader execution levels exhibited: "Our lads executed admirably generally speaking… However, conceding late in opening stanza allowed Simba advantage which unfortunately defined eventual verdict."

Cristiano Ronaldo's Goal Drought: Six Managers He Scored Less Than 10 Goals Under – Ten Hag, Solskjaer

DIWIDA.NEWS cristiano ronaldo, football clubs, football players, soccer, sports

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1qrDMF" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1qrDMF.jpg"/>

 Cristiano Ronaldo leads as the all-time highest scorer in professional football, nearing his primary objective of scoring 1000 goals throughout his career.


 At every level of the game, he has proven to be an exceptionally skilled goalscorer. However, with certain managers, things just haven't aligned for him, whether due to lack of opportunity or not clicking with their tactics.


 Here, we have looked into the six managers
 Ronaldo
 did not manage to score 10 goals below.

<h2>
 
 Laszlo Boloni
 
</h2>

 One of Ronaldo’s initial coaches at Sporting CP, Boloni held his position from July 2001 to June 2003.


 Ronaldo debuted with the Portuguese team during the 2002-03 season, which was towards the end of Boloni’s tenure of 90 matches.


 Under Boloni, the forward netted the initial five goals of his senior career — and just five overall for Sporting — prior to securing a transfer to Manchester United following a successful debut season.

<h2>
 
 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
 
</h2>

 Ronaldo might have faced a long wait before experiencing another brief tenure under just one manager again. His stints at Real Madrid and Juventus placed him under the guidance of several prominent figures, which was not surprising considering they had access to arguably one of the top players globally for extended periods.


 However, upon Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford for his second stint with Manchester United, consistency seemed nearly non-existent.


 He got signed by Solskjaer, who used to be his assistant.
 United
 teammate, and although he was highly productive during his time with him, scoring roughly 0.7 goals per match, Solskjaer coached Ronaldo just 13 times, resulting in the forward netting nine goals.

<h2>
 
 Michael Carrick
 
</h2>

 Interim manager Carrick assumed control following Solskjaer’s dismissal at the end of 2021, serving as a temporary measure until a permanent head coach could be appointed.


 Consequently, he had the opportunity to collaborate with Ronaldo in just three matches—Ronaldo netted two goals against Arsenal in one game and secured a Champions League goal against Villarreal in another.

<h2>
 Erik ten Hag
</h2>

 After Solskjaer left, United appointed their first permanent manager, Ten Hag. Given their known disagreements, it comes as no surprise that Ronaldo struggled under his leadership.


 Under Ten Hag, Ronaldo played in 16 matches but managed only three goals. Their disagreement led to the termination of Ronaldo’s contract with United, and he has attributed much of what happened at the club to Ten Hag.


 He could likely have performed even better during his return to Old Trafford if he hadn’t been coached by Ten Hag, considering he didn’t face similar challenges when Ralf Rangnick was in charge, scoring 12 goals in 22 matches under the German manager.

<h2>
 
 Dinko Jelicic
 
</h2>

 Ronaldo has had several managers during his tenure at Al Nassr, with Jelicic overseeing only eight matches. In that period, the forward from Portugal participated in seven games and netted three times.


 In Cristiano Ronaldo's career, there is just one manager against whom he has managed to score fewer goals.

<h2>
 
 Vitor Severino
 
</h2>

 Throughout his coaching career, Severino has never held complete control over a senior team, stepping in only for brief periods.


 In his time at Al Nassr, he has overseen two matches, during which Ronaldo not only scored but also received a yellow card in one—specifically, a 3-2 victory against Al-Okhdood in the Saudi Pro League.


 Severino holds the distinction of being the coach under whom the top goalscorer in football history has managed to score the least number of goals, although it appears unjust to attribute this to him since he was never actually his manager and has only overseen two of his matches.

Unraveling the Press Traps: Football's Tactical Gambit

DIWIDA.NEWS football clubs, journalism, soccer, sports, sports broadcasting

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1EcbQ4" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1EcbQ4.jpg"/>

 Those who
 Enjoy sports betting with 1xBet in Uganda
 You can also place bets on teams with varying tactics.


 Within this system, “press traps” are a clever tactical tool teams use to regain possession high up the pitch. A press trap is essentially a deliberate setup by the defending team to lure the opponent into a specific area of the field, only to aggressively press him once they enter it. There are 3 objectives that can be achieved with this:

<ul>
 <li>
 isolate the ball carrier;
 </li>
 <li>
 limit his passing options;
 </li>
 <li>
 and force a mistake.
 </li>
</ul>

 Something to enjoy when making sports betting at 1xBet Uganda is to wager on teams with great defensive setups.

<h2>
 How it works
</h2>

 Press traps often start by letting the opponent believe he has a safe passing route. Defenders may slightly back off or subtly invite a pass to a certain player or side. For example, a team might allow the opponent’s full-back to receive the ball near the touchline. Once the ball is played there, multiple players quickly swarm the receiver, doing 2 things: cutting off nearby options and boxing them in against the sideline, where there’s less space to maneuver. A
 foot bet today
 can be made at 1xBet on various things that happen during football matches too.


 There are several types of press traps. One common version is the touchline trap, where the sideline acts as an “extra defender.” Another is the central trap, which is riskier but highly rewarding, where a team tempts the opponent to play into the middle before collapsing on the ball carrier. You are always invited to try a foot ball bet today at the 1xBet website on the best defenders from world football.


 Some teams also use back pass traps, encouraging a pass to the goalkeeper or center-backs under pressure, leading to rushed clearances or turnovers.

<h2>
 Tricking the opponent
</h2>

 Executing a press trap successfully requires 3 ingredients:  coordination, communication, and timing. All pressing players must move as a unit to cut off passing lanes without leaving gaps elsewhere. If even 1 player mistimes the press, the opponent can easily break through and exploit the space left behind. A good reason to
 register 1xBet
 is to be able to bet on teams who succeed in using press traps.


 Pressure traps are predominantly utilized by squads known for their dynamic and assertive playing style, such as Arne Slot’s Liverpool or Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. Nonetheless, these tactics aren’t exclusive to elite clubs; even teams from lower divisions and junior levels employ stripped-down variations with considerable success. Football enthusiasts can sign up at 1xBet, offering various opportunities including betting on matches involving Liverpool, Manchester City, and more.

Marcus Rashford Reveals Preference as He Weighs Next Career Move

DIWIDA.NEWS football clubs, football players, news, soccer, sports

<ul>
 <li>
 
 Marcus Rashford's stint at Aston Villa will conclude next month, after which he will go back to his parent team, Manchester United.
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 The winger has been with Villa since January following his exclusion from Ruben Amorim's team in December.
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Reports from England suggest that the 27-year-old player would rather sign with a team competing in the Champions League and has no desire to play in London.
 
 </li>
</ul>

 Since departing from Manchester United in January, Marcus Rashford has been playing for Aston Villa. The English forward will determine his future plans following the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Dwe11" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Dwe11.jpg"/>
<h2>
 What is going to happen with Marcus Rashford?
</h2>

 At the conclusion of the 2024-25 season, Marcus Rashford faces a significant choice. Once his loan agreement with Aston Villa expires, he will head back to Manchester United.


 The 27-year-old lost favor with newly appointed Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim and probably won’t be returning to his childhood team.

<blockquote>
 Man United manager Ruben Amorim mentioned according to BBC Sport that he was unable to convince Marcus about how football should be played and how training should be conducted from his perspective.
</blockquote>

 As reported by the Daily Mail, Rashford plans to meet with Manchester United in mid-June to discuss his future, during which he will have input on what comes next for him.


 The report also states that the English player does not wish to join a team based in London and has his sights set on playing for a side competing in the Champions League. As such, teams including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur can be ruled out.


 He experienced the thrill of the Champions League with Aston Villa, who advanced to the quarter-finals and played against Paris Saint-Germain.


 Villa has yet to secure their spot in next season's Champions League, particularly following their loss to Manchester City on Tuesday.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Dw7v8" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Dw7v8.jpg"/>
<h2>
 What teams might Rashford sign with?
</h2>

 Mason Rashford’s deal with Manchester United lasts until 2028, making it challenging to identify where he might go next. As one of the most highly compensated athletes in the Premier League, only a handful of teams would be capable of matching his earnings.


 Rashford's camp have also reportedly ruled out swap deals with the likes of Ollie Watkins and Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace.


 Given that many of the leading six teams apparently aren’t considering signing the winger, an overseas transfer seems probable. There was interest from Barcelona back in January, though negotiations did not come to fruition.


 It’s improbable for Real Madrid since they already possess Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe as options for the left-wing role.


 Therefore, a club like Atletico Madrid would be a likely destination. They have played Champions League football for the last 11 seasons in a row.


 In recent years, English footballers have been transferring to Italian clubs, making teams like Juventus, Napoli, Inter Milan, and AC Milan probable landing spots for them.

<h2>
 Will Man United swap Rashford with Watkins?
</h2>

 As reported elsewhere, Manchester United might consider swapping Marcus Rashford for Ollie Watkins, who is also a target for Arsenal.


 The team with 13 Premier League titles is allegedly prepared to propose Rashford along with some funds as part of the deal for Watkins.


 The England striker has been starting on the bench, and it appears Unai Emery needs an upgrade.

7 Shockingly Young Managers Taking Over in 2025: Wilshere, Ramsey and More!

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Drdnb" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Drdnb.jpg"/>

 Former
 Arsenal
 ,
 Manchester United
 and
 Liverpool
 Stars are part of the surprisingly youthful group of former athletes who have become football managers in 2025, and we're amazed by this trend.


 These days, most players tend to play professionally until their late thirties, but others decide to retire early and make a headstart on their managerial career.


 After examining this trend more closely, we discovered seven remarkably youthful ex-professionals who have since become managers.

<h2>
 Jack Wilshere
</h2>

 After the removal of Norwich City manager Johannes Hoff Thorup, Wilshere has been appointed as the temporary head coach for the remainder of the season.


 His professional journey was interrupted by injuries, which eventually led to his retirement in 2020 when he was just 30 years old.


 He has subsequently taken up positions as a youth coach, initially with Arsenal and currently with Norwich. However, he has now been assigned his highest-profile role yet – at least for the time being.


 At 33 years old, he will be the youngest manager in the Championship, and at the end of the season, he is scheduled to face off against one of his ex-Arsenal teammates.

<h2>
 Aaron Ramsey
</h2>

 Ramsey remains listed with Cardiff City, but he has been appointed as the club’s caretaker manager after Omer Riza was let go over the Easter holiday.


 He took charge of his first game over the weekend and could only draw against Oxford, which leaves Cardiff in the relegation zone with two games to go.


 On the last day of the season, Cardiff will head to Norwich, with Ramsey set to face Wilshere from the technical area.

<h2>
 James Morrison
</h2>

 Championship clubs seem to have an obsession when it comes to hiring prime Barclaysmen as temporary managers.


 Recently, West Bromwich Albion terminated their relationship with Tony Mowbray, and they've appointed 38-year-old Morrison as interim manager for the remainder of the season.

<h2>
 Tom Cleverley
</h2>

 Considering that most Watford managers don’t last longer than a few months, Cleverley has done an exceptional job to last over one year in the head-coach role.


 Even though many predicted Cleverley would face challenges early in the season, he has kept Watford close to the top six throughout.


 At only 35 years old, he is currently among the youngest managers in the EFL.

<h2>
 Javier Mascherano
</h2>

 Mascherano once shared the pitch with Lionel Messi at Barcelona and flash forward to 2025, he’s now his manager at Inter Miami.


 “Sometimes I get uncomfortable talking about him because he’s been my teammate for over 20 years, and now I have to support him in this new role as a coach,” Mascherano told reporters when discussing his new role.

<h2>
 Burak Yilmaz
</h2>

 One of the most lethal strikers to ever grace the Turkish Super Lig. Yilmaz called it quits on his playing career in 2023 and he’s not wasted any time in heading into management.


 Having previously had managerial stints with Besiktas and Kayserispor, the 39-year-old is currently managing Kasimpasa in the Turkish Super Lig.

<h2>
 Cesc Fabregas
</h2>

 Following his retirement from professional football in 2023, Fabregas quickly moved into coaching.


 After serving as Como’s interim manager in 2023, he took over as head coach last summer and now has his team positioned at the 13th spot in Serie A.

Arteta Sticks to His Plan, Refuses Player Rotation Before Crucial Crystal Palace Showdown

DIWIDA.NEWS arsenal fc, european football, football clubs, soccer, sports

<div class="text_text__oJhZK">
 
 
 Arsenal has no intention of rotating their squad or giving players a break ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against Crystal Palace, as they prepare for next week’s Champions League semifinal against Paris Saint-Germain. Manager Mikel Arteta stated this during his Tuesday press conference.
 
 
 
 
 Arsenal, who currently sit at 66 points and rank second in the standings, have essentially been eliminated from contention for the Premier League title as Liverpool only require one additional victory to clinch the championship.
 
 
 
 
 Arsenal’s team has been eliminated from both the FA Cup and the League Cup, where they lost in the semifinals. This leaves the UEFA Champions League as their primary opportunity for winning a trophy this campaign; however, Arteta ruled out resting his crucial performers in the match against 12th-place Crystal Palace.
 
 
 
 
 "When players are in good condition and willing to participate, they must be allowed to play; we can’t consider things differently," he stated to journalists before the match at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
 
 
 
 
 When they are actively performing, they excel because of their consistent play and physical as well as emotional stability. It’s during these moments that they find their groove and reach their peak.

9 Mind-Blowing Backheel Assists That Shook Football History: Guti, Ozil, Merino & More

DIWIDA.NEWS football clubs, football players, soccer, sports

Stunning backheel assists that leave everyone on their feet have been delivered by players from Arsenal, Manchester United, and Real Madrid.


 Thanks to their creativity, rapid thinking, and boldness, this group etched themselves into our shared recollections through their exceptional highlights.


 We've pinpointed nine standout instances that eclipsed the goals they generated and sucked us right back in to put together this list.

<h2>
 Guti
</h2>

 A back heel so impressive that we've already penned 1100 words discussing it.

<h2>
 Kylian Mbappe
</h2>

 The much-anticipated Messi-Neymar-Mbappe combination failed to live up to expectations at PSG, yet they managed to create several breathtaking displays of talent in Ligue 1.


 In 2023, Messi scored this goal againstLens, yetMbappe’s audacious backheelassist managed to steal some spotlight. Sweeterthan an almond croissant, indeed.

<div>
 
 
</div>
<h2>
 Mesut Ozil
</h2>

 A backheel so impressive that we've devoted 700 effusive words to an online article about it.


 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1DgSLG" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1DgSLG.jpg"/>

 Remembering Ozil from 2010 and the most tantalizing heel flick assist you've probably missed.
 

<h2>
 Mikel Merino
</h2>

 During his time as Arsenal’s emergency forward, Merino has truly made significant contributions, scoring crucial goals and providing this nearly censored assist for Gabriel Martinelli against Ipswich.

<div>
 
 
</div>
<h2>
 Karim Benzema
</h2>

 Benzema has made a career out of making the ridiculous seem entirely natural and this assist against Espanyol in 2020 was a case in point.


 The ex-Real Madrid forward performed a skillful move, completely outplaying his defender, before setting up Casemiro effortlessly. Simply beautiful.

<div>
 
 
</div>
<h2>
 Henri Lansbury
</h2>

 Lansbury was a regular figure in the Championship during the 2010s and was included in the Aston Villa team that achieved promotion in 2019.


 The midfielder failed to leave a significant impact in the Premier League, yet managed to create this stunning backheel flick for Jack Grealish during a League Cup match against Crewe.

<div>
 
 
</div>
<h2>
 Juan Mata
</h2>

 A footballer so innovative he might have shared genes with Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Mata caused hearts to race with his backheel flick for Manchester United in 2015.


 It would have been impolite if Chris Smalling had deliberately missed. Fortunately, Ronaldo’s distant relative managed to score the goal with precision.

<div>
 
 
</div>
<h2>
 Raul Jimenez
</h2>

 Even though Jimenez executed this spectacular move against his former team, Manchester City, in 2024, Pep Guardiola was left impressed yet somewhat unsettled by this audacious display.


 During the initial, second, and 65th watching, we don't hold him responsible.

<div>
 
 
</div>
<h2>
 Alvis Jaunzema
</h2>

 During a 2023 Polish matchup between Pogon Szczecin and Stal Mielec, Jaunzema delivered an incredible mid-air backheel assist to his teammate Ilya Shkurin, which is sure to leave you amazed.


 Is this not a strong candidate for the most impressive assist you've yet to witness?

Benita Urey Rejects Match-Fixing Claims as LFA Temporarily Bans 11 Paynesville FC Players

DIWIDA.NEWS crime, football clubs, football players, news, sports

President Benita Urey of Shaita Angels vehemently refuted claims spreading across social media platforms alleging that she offered $300 to members of Paynesville FC to influence the outcome of a match. She firmly stated that she has not engaged with any athlete from this team for such purposes.
 


 
 Following the emergence of a leaked text message from the Paynesville FC players' group chat over the weekend, Urey's reaction addresses claims that she provided funds to the team before their game against Shaita FC.
 


 
 A video shared online shows Paynesville FC player Marlon Harrison allegedly posting this statement: “Hello everyone, we got $300 from Benita Urey. Following the match, our squad was reduced to nine players; subsequently, the team’s captain and leader handed over $100.”
 


 
 Furthermore, in a related audio clip, two players can be heard voicing their concerns over the monetary distribution. One player remarks, “They distributed three hundred dollars to the team yesterday; some members received benefits, while others did not.”
 


 
 In reply to a question posed by
 The Liberian Investigator
 Urey strongly refuted any allegations of misconduct and asserted that she has only ever exchanged casual pleasantries with players from Paynesville FC.
 


 
 "To begin with, let me clarify: throughout my entire life—I vow on this—never have I reached out to any player from the Paynesville team to fix a match in favor of Shaita FC,” she stated.
 


 
 Urey, who additionally works as a match commissioner, mentioned that she has had no prior communications with player Marlon Harrison, who was responsible for posting the now widely circulated message.
 


 
 She asserted that an individual from Paynesville FC is intentionally trying to tarnish her reputation, mentioning that the supposed screenshots started spreading following the team’s game with Freeport FC.
 


 
 As the inquiry continues, Urey faulted the Liberia Football Association (LFA) for releasing a statement publicly prior to giving those accused an opportunity to be heard. She expressed frustration that both she and others have faced condemnation in the court of public opinion even before being given their day in court.
 


 
 
 Eleven Players from Paynesville FC Suspended
 
 


 
 In the meantime, the LFA has temporarily banned Eugene Swen—who was named the best defender in the current First Division League—along with 10 fellow players from Paynesville FC due to accusations of match-fixing and game tampering.
 


 
 The list of suspended players encompasses Ayetah Yangbe, H. Dan Weah, Chris Dennis, Abraham Flomo, Prince Nagbo, Marlon R. Harris, Michael Greene, Blamo Weah, Lawrence Worgloh, and Mickie Dokie.
 


 
 The athletes are being investigated for supposedly receiving a payoff to affect the result of their significant Matchday 23 game against Shaita FC, which took place in April 2025 at the SKD Training Field.
 


 
 Shaita FC, facing potential demotion, secured a victory with a score of 7-0. Nevertheless, the poor display and attitude exhibited by multiple players from Paynesville FC raised serious doubts about possible misconduct during the match.
 


 
 The uneven outcome sparked criticism from supporters, who called for an internal probe into the behavior of several club members. Initially, Paynesville FC submitted six players to the LFA for additional scrutiny; however, this list has expanded to include 11 individuals.
 


 
 In a message sent to Paynesville FC President Hilary Sackie, the LFA stated that the players are barred from participating in all events authorized by the organization, as well as prohibited from using its premises. The group stressed that this suspension serves only as a preventative step and should not be interpreted as an indication of wrongdoing.

 The Liberian Investigator
 Sackie stated that the club backs the LFA's choice; however, he pointed out that the squad was significantly impacted by the suspensions. He further mentioned that only 10 players took part in their last game on Sunday.
 


 
 These suspensions highlight the LFA's dedication to openness and ethical standards as the organization continues its probe into the claimed misconduct.
