      Man Utd star David De Gea defended by Spain boss Luis Enrique who claims ‘blaming him as become obsession’

      by

      SPAIN boss Luis Enrique has defended Manchester United star David De Gea following his latest mistake and claimed blaming him has become an “obsession” and a “turn on”.
      The under-fire goalkeeper was criticised for his role in Spain’s shock 1-0 loss to Ukraine last night.

      He found himself bizarrely out of position as Viktor Tsygankov struck what proved to be the winner 14 minutes from time.
      While critics rounded on De Gea, his boss Enrique came out fighting and defended his keeper from people who, he believed, had become fixated on him.
      He told El Chiringuito TV: “Blaming De Gea is an obsession and has become a turn on.
      “The responsibility for each goal belongs to the whole team. We need to improve and create more scoring chances.

      “I am happy with what I have seen today, within the squad that opinion has not changed.”
      The goal came when West Ham’s Andriy Yarmolenko found a gap in the Spanish midfield and unleashed a fizzing pass into the path of Tsygankov.
      The sub, who had come on only ten minutes earlier, managed to control the ball with a deft touch before curling it just inside the post.
      De Gea had strayed to the edge of his box and failed to close down the angle, leaving Tsygankov with a fairly easy finish.

      His awkward position did not go unnoticed to those watching on TV.
      Olly Lovel wrote on Twitter that the Spaniard’s positioning was “criminal”, while Scott Rodgers asked why he “was so far out”.
      Twitter user ‘Colm’ posted: “When that ball is played through he needs to either commit fully to going to the ball or get on his line, he did neither.

      “It is literally a keeper’s job to make up for poor defending.”
      Spain’s defeat follows an unconvincing 1-0 win against Switzerland in the Nations League on Saturday.
      The country needs to find form quickly next month with games against Germany and the Netherlands to come.

      Cristiano Ronaldo travels from Portugal to Italy onboard private ambulance plane after positive coronavirus test

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO has left Portugal in an air ambulance to continue his self-isolation at his Turin home after testing positive for coronavirus.
      The 35-year-old’s jet left Tires Airport in Cascais near Lisbon around 1.45pm local time.

      He was taken to the municipal airstrip from the Portuguese training camp base in nearby Oeiras by ambulance.
      He is understood to be travelling in a Bombardier Learjet 45XR LX-ONE which is specially equipped to fly him following his Covid positive test.
      It is operated by Luxembourg Air Rescue which specialises in offering repatriations of those who have suffered illnesses or accidents abroad and need to get back home.
      It had been reported earlier in the day he wanted to fly back to Italy.

      He was pictured on Tuesday giving the thumbs-up from a balcony at his room at the Portuguese training camp.
      His positive coronavirus test put him out of tonight’s Uefa Nations League match against Sweden.
      There has not been any official comment from the Portuguese FA on Ronaldo’s departure, although it’s understood he requested and received permission to travel.
      Earlier today, Portuguese sports analyst Rui Pedro Braz, referring to Jose Fontes and Anthony Lopes who are the other two Portuguese internationals to have tested positive for coronavirus so far, said: “It’s up to Cristiano to decide whether he travels to Turin or remains in Portugal.

      “Jose Fonte tested positive for Covid and travelled to Lille and Anthony Lopes tested positive and travelled to Lyon.
      “Cristiano Ronaldo believes that if he tests positive a third time he’ll want to travel to Turin.”
      Portugal manager Fernando Santos claimed before the Juventus star left his homeland that Ronaldo was desperate to play after being forced to sit out tonight’s clash against Sweden.
      Speaking while the team star was still at the Portuguese training camp, he said in an update on the footballer’s condition: “He is managing the situation very well.
      “He is in the room, saying he wants to play, he talks to us from his balcony.
      “He is completely asymptomatic, he is OK, without any symptoms, he doesn’t even know what happened to him.”
      The plane Ronaldo left on was pictured and his departure filmed live on TV, but it is not thought anyone managed to obtain any clear shots of the footballer.
      Plane operator European Air Ambulance describes itself as offering “bed-to-bed services for worldwide missions” on its website.

      It says: “European Air Ambulance is one of the largest specialised air ambulance service providers in Europe offering worldwide air ambulance repatriation with outstanding end-to-end patient care.
      “All missions are staffed with a medical team consisting of a specialised physician and a flight nurse. 
      “We are ready to take off day and night, 365 days a year.”
      Ronaldo’s partner Georgina Rodriguez has labelled the five-time Ballon d’Or winner as her ‘inspiration’ following his positive test.
      Uploading a screenshot of a Whatsapp video call between them alongside the message: “You are my inspiration” and a heart emoji.
      Italian media have revealed that despite the Covid-19 pandemic, Ronaldo remains on a £28million-a-year salary at Juventus.
      This is equal to or more than the squad bill at FOUR Serie A teams.
      And Ronaldo also earns four time more than the second highest-paid player in the Italian top-flight.

      Chelsea star Rudiger in horror elbow smash on Elvedi in Germany’s 3-3 draw with Switzerland… and gets away with it

      by

      ANTONIO RUDIGER appeared to smash an opponent in the face with a horror elbow – but got away with it.
      The Chelsea defender, 27, lined up in defence for Germany in their Nations League clash with Switzerland.

      3

      Antonio Rudiger was lucky to escape a red card after clattering Nico Elvedi with his elbow

      But the ex-Roma star was fortunate not to go in for a slightly early bath in the 3-3 draw.
      As he went up for a header with Swiss centre-back Nico Elvedi in the fifth minute of injury time, Rudiger led with his elbow and caught the Borussia Monchengladbach man flush on the jaw.
      The severity of the incident was seemingly misinterpreted by the referee who showed the Blues defender a yellow card.

      And the Nations League does not have VAR in operation to review possible red cards.

      Rudiger drew criticism from many – including plenty of Chelsea fans – on social media for the challenge.
      BT Sport commentator Ian Darke wrote: “Rudiger would definitely have been sent off if VAR had been operating. Nasty challenge with elbow.”
      Another said: “Rudiger should be sent off for that. Awful challenge with the elbow.”
      A third added: “Elbow to the face! Why isn’t Rudiger sent off!?”

      Germany unconvincing again in 3-3 draw with Switzerland. Rudiger would definitely have been sent off if VAR had been operating. Nasty challenge with elbow.
      — Ian Darke (@IanDarke) October 13, 2020

      Rudiger should be sent off for that. Awful challenge with the elbow.

      Rudiger is lucky there is no VAR that should of been a red card 😯 flying elbow in his Swiss opponents face 🙃🙃🙃🙃 #GERSUI #NationsLeague
      — Terron Flya Man (@Flya_Man) October 13, 2020

      One user commented: “Rudiger is wild for that elbow. Dangerous as hell smh.”
      Another replied: “Rudiger just became prime MMA elbow user.”
      And a final person tweeted: “Horrible elbow from Rudiger there. Lucky there was no VAR.”
      It compounded a miserable evening for Rudiger who was napping for Mario Gavranovic’s opener for Switzerland after just five minutes in Cologne.
      And then 20 minutes later he was out of position and then comically headed into his own net in an attempt to clear the ball off the line when Remo Freuler chipped Manuel Neuer.

      Fortunately for Rudiger – who is yet to make a Blues appearance this season – he had his Chelsea team-mates on hand to help him out.
      Timo Werner found the bottom corner to pull one back before Kai Havertz did well to squeeze in an equaliser on 55 minutes.
      Switzerland retook the lead a minute later but Werner set up Serge Gnabry to flick home on the hour mark and earn the 3-3 draw.
      Fabian Schar was sent off deep into injury time for a second yellow but there was still time for Rudiger’s moment of controversy.

      Cristiano Ronaldo gives thumbs-up from hotel self-isolation as Juventus star demands fourth test over results confusion

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO is anxiously awaiting the result of a new coronavirus test he personally requested before deciding his next move.
      The 35-year-old was pictured late on Tuesday giving the thumbs-up and smiling from the balcony of his room at the Portugal squad’s training base on the outskirts of Lisbon where he is currently self-isolating.

      He watched his pals train as they prepare to face Sweden in the Nations League – a tournament they are looking to defend having won the inaugral competition last summer.
      It is understood the 35-year-old Juventus star demanded a new test by a different lab from the one the Portuguese FA uses – and is still awaiting the result.
      Portuguese sports analyst Rui Pedro Braz believes this is the fourth test Ronaldo has taken, after two ‘Gold Standard’ positives which are seen as the most accurate and a third which came back ‘inconclusive’.
      It is not yet clear when the results of the new test will be known but they will enable the former Real Madrid and Manchester United hero to work out what to do next.

      Reports in Portugal say he is expected to return to Turin to continue his self-isolation if he tests positive for Covid-19 a third time.
      However, he would have to be taken to Lisbon Airport to board a private plane in an ambulance as part of strict protocols on the movement of people with coronavirus.
      It is also understood Ronaldo was forced to scrap plans to see his mum Dolores for only the second time in nearly six months.
      She had travelled to Lisbon to see her daughter Katia and was expected to have a brief catch-up with son Cristiano before his positive test.

      The five-time Ballon d’Or winner last saw his mother in mid-August with son Cristiano Jr but before that she was recovering from a stroke earlier in the year.
      Cristiano’s elder sister Elma Aveiro revealed her brother’s frustration and confusion at catching the virus despite being locked in with the rest of the Portuguese squad.
      She told respected Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha: “He wanted to repeat the test. He said it was impossible he had the virus because he didn’t feel anything.”
      Braz, speaking on Portuguese TV staton TVI on Wednesday, added to the mystery surrounding Cristiano’s positive tests.
      He said: “The Portuguese players have been together for nearly ten days. Cristiano for example travelled after the game that wasn’t played between Juventus and Napoli because of positives in the Napoli squad.
      “In the ten days he’s been with the Portugal team, he’s had eight Gold Standard Covid-19 tests.
      “The first six came back negative. The seventh one, which was done on Monday and the results of which came back in the early hours of yesterday, was positive as was the new one done yesterday.
      “He’s now awaiting the results of a third test he’s personally asked for.”
      TRAVEL TO TURIN
      He added, referring to Jose Fonte and Anthony Lopes who are the other two Portuguese internationals who have previously tested positive: “It’s up to him to decide whether he travels to Turin or remains in Portugal.
      “Jose Fonte tested positive for Covid and travelled to Lille and Anthony Lopes tested positive and travelled to Lyon.
      “Cristiano Ronaldo believes that if he tests positive a third time he’ll want to travel to Turin.
      “There has been some speculation about another test which has been carried out since his positives and that is the case.
      “But it wasn’t a Gold Standard test of the type carried out in the Portuguese FA installations and taken to a lab with a wait of five to six hours for the results.
      “It was a normal everyday test which Cristiano wanted to do after his first positive and that one came back inconclusive.”

      Chelsea ace Chilwell joins England squad after party ban and illness and could face Denmark, confirms Southgate

      by

      BEN CHILWELL has joined up with the England squad and could face Denmark, Gareth Southgate confirmed.
      The Chelsea left-back, 23, missed Sunday’s 2-1 win over Belgium with a non-coronavirus illness.

      But despite linking back up with the Three Lions on the day of the weekend win, Chilwell trained alone as he fights back to full fitness.
      And the defender will be assessed again before Southgate decides whether he will feature against Denmark in the Nations League clash at Wembley tomorrow.
      The England boss said on Sunday: “Ben reported to the hotel today.
      “He did a training session on his own. We’ve just got to assess where he’s at because he hasn’t been able to train through the week.

      “So, there’s a little bit of assessment needed over the next couple of days but he is with the group now.”
      Even before falling under the weather, Chilwell, Jadon Sancho and Tammy Abraham were axed from the England team to play Wales after attending a party, breaking the ‘rule of six’.
      Sancho returned and came on for the final few minutes against Belgium.
      Abraham, however, was not in the matchday squad as Dominic Calvert-Lewin kept his place up front and Harry Kane was substituted on.

      Chelsea boss Frank Lampard will hope to have £50million Chilwell available for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Southampton.
      The ex-Leicester man scored and assisted on his Blues league debut against Crystal Palace before the international break.

      Arsene Wenger wants World Cup or Euros EVERY summer as ex-Arsenal boss calls for Nations League to be scrapped

      by

      ARSENE WENGER wants a World Cup or Euros every summer.
      And he is willing to see the Nations League scrapped in order to accommodate the major shake up.

      Wenger, 70, was appointed Fifa’s head of global football development last year and suggested the new plans to improve the international game.
      Currently the World Cup and Euros are both played every four years with the Nations League finals staged in the non-tournament summers.
      The ex-Arsenal boss – whose home nation France are the reigning world champions – told Bild: “We need to get rid of the Nations League and find clearer events that everyone understands.
      “If you ask people in the street what the Nations League is, you won’t find many able to explain it.

      “We need to have as few events as possible. One World Cup and one European Championship every other year would probably be more appropriate for a modern world.”
      Many have argued that a World Cup played more frequently than every four years would lose much of its prestige.
      Wenger, though, does not believe this is the case.
      He added: “I always tell people who say this that the image is not linked to the time you wait before playing again, but rather the quality of the competition.

      “After all, people also watch the Champions League every year. Personally, I think it would be a great step forward.”
      Uefa’s Nations League was brought in two years ago to cut out meaningless international friendlies and add some competitiveness.
      There is also the added bonus of an extra shot at tournament qualification for teams that win their groups.
      Portugal won the inaugural final last year, beating the Netherlands, while England claimed third with a penalty shootout win over Switzerland.
