Zinedine Zidane may be unclear about his future and may have conceded that he would not be the manager of Los Blancos next season, but he is clear about what he would do if he remains their manager.
The French man team of stars have been largely underperforming this season and he is set to offload some of them.
Reports in Spain via Dario Gol is claiming that the club legend would sell Isco if he remains Real Madrid manager.
Isco signed a new long-term contract at the Bernabeu last September, but his position is no longer guaranteed at the club and Zidane would ask them to cash in.
Real Madrid are targetting a new set of Galacticos that would include Neymar, Harry Kane, and Dele Alli. Isco and Gareth Bale among other would have to make way to create space and cash.
The Spaniard has a release clause that is over £300 million so would not come cheap. However, if Madrid are desperate to get rid of him, Premier League sides who are interested could use that to their advantage to drive the price down.
Football fans are usually not very surprised by the outcome of the games they bet on as their followership of football most times helps them pick the right bets.
There is arguably just a few things you need to know to place a winning bet, but, just does watching their games and following football teams contribute to how much you can win on every bet you place?
Soccer fans do not only watch the games on TV or live in the Stadiums; they also follow teams online via their websites, sports websites, and social media accounts. This gives them some advantage over the bookmakers when they bet. Other sporting events like the Cheltenham Festival 2018 also offers bettors the chance to enjoy themselves by watching the games live, but football remains one of the most watched sports by bettors.
Bettors who watch and follow football may not be able to predict the correct outcomes of games all the time, but their followership exposes them to some key information about factors that could influence the final score of games. Some of these information includes:
Weather
Weather is one key element that influences the outcome of football scores, and those who are constantly watching soccer would know how a team performs in winter when there could be snow-filled and waterlogged pitches compared to the summer when the weather is clearer.
Recovery time
When football teams play more games in a week it affects them, this is because the more time they have to recuperate, the fresher they would be in their very next fixture.
Midweek European commitments gives players like Lionel Messi less recovery time
Those who watch and follow football tend to know the schedule of the teams they bet on, which helps them determine which opponent has the advantage. When a team with European commitment in midweek is playing against another team that has rested the whole week, you can expect the well-rested team to have a fresher group of players than their opponent.
Player injuries and physical conditions
One thing players cannot escape is injury no matter how careful they are and how experienced their Physical therapists and Sports doctors are. As a matter of fact, we have heard of player’s legs being insured against injuries, this goes to show how much an injury to a player could affect his team’s result. When bettors watch and follow football, they can know when a team’s main man is out injured and how much he would be missed. For example, when a striker like Harry Kane who has scored a goal every 88 minutes for his team this season, is sidelined, the chances of his team winning, or scoring as much as they score when he is fit an playing would reduce.
Mental health of the players
There is so much pressure at the top level in football and there have been cases where players have suffered mentally under pressure. One of the biggest sources of pressure for footballers is their transfer fees. When a club makes a new purchase for a record fee, the player is usually under pressure to deliver and this has been credited with affecting their mental health. One obvious case at the moment is Renato Sanches at Swansea, the young Portuguese midfielder was the star of Portugal’s Euro 2016 triumph, yet he has failed hit the same heights since then.
His current loan club, Swansea has been forced to play him despite his struggles, his presence in the team’s line up affects his teammate’s play because of his poor performances, and subsequently their result. Those who watch football, would easily get this information and place the right bet.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Racing Club’s striker Lautaro Martinez is set to end fruitlessly after the attacker confirmed that he is on his way to the Italian Serie A.
The Gunners have been tracking the South American for a long time now, but they faced serious competition from Inter Milan and other top European sides, which has ultimately ended in them missing out of his signature.
According to Talks Sport, he has agreed to a €20.2million with the Italian giants and is set to join them next summer. He has reportedly agreed to a deal until the summer of 2023 in a bitter blow to the Gunners.
He has admitted to holding talks with Inter Milan’s Sporting Director, Piero Ausilio
“I met Ausilio and he told me about Inter,” Martinez told Ole.
“He told me things that I’d already heard from [former Inter Milan strike Diego] Milito.
“My future? I’m happy to stay at Racing for now. Negotiations between the two clubs are for my agent.
“I’m definitely staying here until June, so I can’t afford to think of anything else.”
Arsenal currently have two top strikers, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, but Wenger wants to sign another attacker to offer support to the duo.
Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign Karim Benzema according to reports in Spain.
Los Blancos are trying sign David de Gea from the Premier League giants, and Dario Gol is claiming they have offered Benzema plus cash for the Spain number one.
Benzema has been underperforming this season, but he believes a spell away from the La Liga would reignite his career.
Manchester United however, are keen on signin Benzema but they are not interested in a swap deal involving David De Gea. The reports claim should they want only a straight cash move, they would need to pay 55 million for the French striker.
Dario Gol also claims that Barcelona are prepared to sell Ousmane Dembele to the Red Devils even though the winger signed for them only 6 mnths.
The report claims that there are growing suspicion of Dembele’s overall fitness and they want to replace him with Antoine Griezmann next summer.
Griezmann is also a Manchester United target, but is keen on remaining in Spain, which is why Barcelona do not want to miss out on signing him.
Jose Mourinho has been looking for a new winger and Dembele could give his team width.
Liverpool’s new signing Virgil van Dijk says he expects so many people to judge his every move because of his huge transfer fee, but he is not bothered especially as the opinion of his critics don’t matter.
The Dutchman has come under some scrutiny for his roles in Liverpool’s recent games as he has been on the winning side only once since his move from Southampton. He fouled Eric Lamela for Tottenham’s equalizing goal in their game on Sunday and several fans are beginning to question his quality.
However, Van Dijk who missed almost a year out of action last year has spoken of the lack of attention he gives to his critics, claiming that he only listens to his manager and his teammates whom he knows genuinely want to help him improve.
The Reds would be visiting his former club next and the Dutchman who claims they were unlucky not to get all three points against Tottenham would be hoping they can win at the Saint Mary Stadium in the South Coast.
Liverpool also return to Champions League action next week, and van Dijk who made 19 appearances in the competition for Celtic would be hoping to help the Reds get as far as they can get in the competition.
Liverpool are facing competition from Manchester United and Bayern Munich in their quest to sign Borussia Dortmund attacker Christian Pulisic.
The 19 years old American is one of the most scouted players in world football at the moment and has always been in the limelight since he burst onto the German football scene as a 17 years old.
Liverpool remains favourites to sign him, having been the most persistent of his suitors despite seeing their bid for his signature rejected at the beginning of last season. However, according to Sun Sports, the Reds now face serious competition from Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
The Red Devils are looking to add some young attackers to their ranks and they see Pulisic and Ajax’s Justin Kluivert as the perfect youngsters to lead their attack in the future. Jose Mourinho has also decided to go for quality rather than quantity when he is making signings next summer, and he considers Pulisic a top player.
Bayern Munich have a history of signing all the best players in other German sides, and after clinching Schalke’s Leon Goretzka, the Bavarians want to sign Pulisic next.
PSG are preparing a shock bid for Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata as they bid to boost their attacking ranks further.
The Ligue 1 side have one of the best-attacking players in Europe at the moment following the arrival of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe last summer, but they want to add more quality to their team next season and according to Sun Sport, Morata is the next superstar they want to sign.
They are currently top of the Ligue 1 table and look likely to win the league, but the club owners want more than league glory and are targeting European dominance within the next couple of seasons.
Morata is currently struggling badly from a combination of injuries and bad form, and the Spaniard is looking to get away from the bad press his performances have brought him, just six months after moving to London.
He has netted 13 times for club and country this season but he has not scored for the Blues since Boxing Day last year. Several of the club’s fans have grown frustrated by the goal scoring chances he keeps missing, and they hope Olivier Giroud can come into their first team and put him on the bench with a better performance.
