26-year-old Real Madrid star would let Naby Keita flourish for Liverpool




Liverpool are reportedly trying to sign Real Madrid ace Casemiro, who has also attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.
Casemiro is one of the first names on Zinedine Zidane’s team-sheet and has not been in the best of forms this season despite netting 7 times and providing 3 assists.
The Brazilian has become an important cog in Real’s machine, sitting in the middle of the park, and his ability to put in the hard yards and break up the play has been unrivalled. However, do Liverpool need Casemiro at the end of the season?
No doubts about it, Liverpool do need a holding midfielder who can do the donkey work and provide the attackers with the freedom to influence the games. Casemiro has been going about his business for Los Blancos for a number of years now with little fuss.
His ability to sit deep and break up the play has been excellent at Real, which has allowed his team’s attackers to do their business. Alongside the incoming Naby Keita, Casemiro will be the ideal player at Liverpool. Keita will join the Reds from RB Leipzig and has shown all the qualities which would see him walk straight into the starting XI.

The Guinean is a midfield destroyer and Casemiro would be imperious alongside him as the Brazilian would provide solid balance to Jurgen Klopp’s team.
Strengthening one or two areas is necessary and buying the right players in the summer would set the tone for next season. Jordan Henderson and James Milner have been decent this term but neither is in the same class as Casemiro.
Speaking about Keita, the Guinean will only prosper if he plays alongside a strong and aggressive defensive midfielder. Henderson is good but lacks the aggression and bite needed in a holding midfielder.
The Englishman is capable of doing the job but against big teams, he lacks the ability to dictate the tempo of the game from a deeper position.
Casemiro would not only prove to be an upgrade on Henderson but he would also allow Keita to express himself freely and contribute to Liverpool’s attacks more.
Casemiro’s tenacity to run for 90 minutes and dynamism in midfield would be perfect for Klopp, who has to replace the departing Emre Can.
However, the main question arrives; why would Casemiro leave Real Madrid? The 26-year-old has tasted rich success at the Bernabeu and is a regular starter under Zidane. In fact, he is one of the most important members, as his presence in midfield helps Real tick in the attack.
Considering this, it would take something extraordinary to lure Casemiro to Anfield. However, Klopp should not lose hope and must go all out for the Real star in the summer.

MAN UNITED WILL TRY AND SIGN NEYMAR. OF COURSE THEY WILL

Source:  https://www.football365.com/news/gossip-manchester-united-to-break-world-transfer-record Now you can’t say that the Sunday Mirror’s John Richardson is afraid of making some bold transfer claims. The first report from yer man made us spit out our Coco Pops. Richardson writes that Manchester United are lining up a £200m-plus move for Neymar this summer. That’s despite PSG saying that the Brazilian is going nowhere, and just about everyone thinking that if he does move it will be to Real Madrid. We’re also told that Manchester United would be happy to pay Neymar the £30m a year that he currently gets in Paris. Well, they’d have to. The evidence for the move is that United have a good relationship with Neymar’s father, who supports Manchester United. Wonderfully, Richardson ends his piece with the following line: ‘Any deal to take Neymar to the Bernabeu would cost in excess of the near £200million fee paid by PSG to lure him to the French capital last summer.’ ...

Lucky Japan qualify for knockout stages through Fifa's fair play rules despite losing 1-0 to Poland

Source:  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2018/06/28/japan-vs-poland-world-cup-2018-live-score-latest-updates/ Fair play sent Japan through to the next round Akira Nishino is a lucky man indeed. Unconvincing, barmy and lucky. Maybe the stifling heat in Volgograd had got to the Japan coach? How else to explain his thought process? Nishino rolled the dice not once, but twice here in a fog of muddled thinking and, in the end, was only spared total humiliation back home courtesy of the fair play rule. No one, least of all his players, could quite fathom his decision to make a raft of bewildering changes with everything still to play for against Poland. And no less bemusing was his insistence that Japan run down the clock for the final 10 minutes of the match amid a cacophony of boos inside the Volgograd Arena, despite the knowledge that a second Poland goal or a Senegal equaliser against Colombia would have sent his team crashing out. “It was a very tough de...

Due to what unfolded at Spartak Stadium between Serbia and Brazil, what happened between Switzerland and Costa Rica didn't ended up mattering much.
