Chelsea want Brighton’s Winstanley to join Stewart on recruitment team

 

Chelsea are set to continue the rebuild of their recruitment department by appointing Monaco’s Laurence Stewart and are also looking to poach Brighton & Hove Albion’s head of recruitment, Paul Winstanley.

Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have been making changes to Chelsea’s infrastructure since buying the club in May and are looking to build a strong recruitment team around the head coach, Graham Potter. Christopher Vivell, who was fired by RB Leizpig last month, is poised to join as technical director and Joe Shields is due to arrive as co-director of recruitment once he has seen out his gardening leave at Southampton.

A deal to hire Stewart, Monaco’s technical director, has been agreed and Chelsea have held talks over taking Winstanley from Brighton. Winstanley has developed a good reputation at Brighton, who have earned plaudits for their smart signings in recent years. The Guardian reported that Chelsea were looking at him last month and the club are ready to solidify their interest.

It is believed that Winstanley will work closely with Shields, Stewart and Potter’s recruitment analyst, Kyle Macalauy. Winstanley knows Macaulay well from his time at Brighton.

Chelsea want at least four recruitment experts, with Vivell potentially given the responsibility of coordinating the department. Plans to hire a sporting director have been put to one side.

There have been suggestions that Boehly and Clearlake would like to create something akin to a transfer think-tank. The recruitment team could feed up to Boehly, who has been working as interim sporting director since June.

Boehly took that role after Marina Granovskaia left, with the departures of Scott McLachlan and Petr Cech leaving other holes to fill. Chelsea had initially looked to hire a sporting director and were close to appointing RB Salzburg’s Christoph Freund, only for that deal to collapse.

The indications are that Chelsea would rather have several recruitment experts than be reliant on one person. They want a collaborative approach, with links between the coaching staff, recruitment department and ownership. Boehly, who oversaw a heavy summer spending spree, could continue to take an active role in transfer negotiations in January.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Manchester United forward must face consequences, says Erik ten Hag

 


Ronaldo refused to come on as substitute - Ten Hag

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said there "has to be consequences" after confirming Cristiano Ronaldo refused to come on as a substitute against Tottenham on Wednesday.

Ronaldo, 37, left Old Trafford before full-time after leaving the bench and walking down the tunnel in the 89th minute of United's 2-0 win.

He has been dropped for Saturday's game at Chelsea and is training alone.

Asked directly whether Ronaldo refused to come on, Ten Hag said: "Yes."

He added that after the Portugal international did the same at half-time of the friendly against Rayo Vallecano in pre-season, he felt he had to act.

"The talk is between Cristiano and me. The statement is clear. It is also in the statement that he remains an important part of the squad," Ten Hag said.

"I am the manager, I am responsible for the culture here. I have to set standards and values and have to control them. We are in a team.

"After Rayo Vallecano, I said it was unacceptable, but it wasn't just him. The second time there has to be consequences. That is what has happened.

"We miss him tomorrow, that is a miss for us and the squad, but I think it is important for the attitude and mentality of the group and now we have to focus on Chelsea - that is the most important."

Cristiano Ronaldo's behaviour 'unacceptable' - Micah Richards

Ronaldo's actions have been widely criticised, with Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker calling them "unacceptable" while former United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel said this was the first time he had been "disappointed" in the player.

On Thursday, Ronaldo said "the heat of the moment" had got to him, though he stopped short of apologising.

He has scored just one goal in eight Premier League appearances this season, and also showed his displeasure at being substituted in Sunday's 0-0 home draw with Newcastle.

United go into Saturday's game at Stamford Bridge just one point behind Chelsea in fifth and Ten Hag said his players would not be distracted by this week's drama.

"It's part of playing in top football," he said.

"There are rumours and noise and you can't get distracted, you have to remain on the job and get the result."

Analysis

Erik ten Hag couldn't have done any better.

He addressed the major issue around Cristiano Ronaldo directly, then explained why he felt it was important to take the action he did.

Then, once the broadcast media had finished, he answered more questions from the written press, which will appear in Saturday's newspapers.

It was not the first major test of Ten Hag's authority. But it was the biggest - and he has come through it with his status enhanced and Ronaldo's diminished. If there is a winner in such situations, Ten Hag is it.

The other point worth nothing is when he first took the United job, Ten Hag's English was hesitant. Now he can communicate with the media effectively - and forcefully.

With United beating Tottenham as well, it has been a good 48 hours for the Dutchman.

Ballon d'Or: Karim Benzema wins award as best player in world football for first time

 

Real Madrid and France forward Karim Benzema has won the Ballon d'Or - awarded to the best footballer of the year - for the first time.

Benzema scored 44 goals in 46 games as he helped Real win the Champions League and La Liga in 2021-22.

Lionel Messi (seven) and Cristiano Ronaldo (five) had won the award on 12 of the previous 13 occasions.

Bayern Munich's Sadio Mane, who was at Liverpool in 2021-22, was second ahead of Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne.

Barcelona's Alexia Putellas retained the Women's Ballon d'Or, awarded to the best best female footballer of 2022.

England Euro 2022 winner and Arsenal forward Beth Mead was second.

Premier League champions Manchester City, who had six nominees at the ceremony, were awarded Club of the Year ahead of Liverpool.

The Ballon d'Or is awarded to the best footballer of the year, based on performance over the 2021-22 season.

Monday's ceremony in Paris saw French F1 driver Esteban Ocon arrive at the Theatre du Chatelet with the Ballon d'Or trophy in a racing car.

Benzema is the first Frenchman to win the prestigious award since Zinedine Zidane in 1998. Zidane was at the event to present his countryman with the prize.

"This prize in front of me makes me really proud," said Benzema. "When I was small, it was a childhood dream, I never gave up. Anything is possible.

"I'm really proud of my journey here. It wasn't easy, it was a difficult time for my family as well."

Benzema was the overwhelming favourite to win this year's award.

His 44 goals included a hat-trick in 17 second-half minutes against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, and another away to Chelsea in the quarter-final first leg.

He also scored three more goals over two legs of the semi-final against Manchester City.

The 34-year-old, who has been at Real Madrid since 2009, is expected to play a key role for France at the World Cup in Qatar which starts on 20 November.

The Ballon d'Or is voted for by 100 journalists from around the world.

Warm reception for Haller

Borussia Dortmund's former West Ham striker Sebastien Haller, who has recently undergone chemotherapy for a testicular tumour, received warm applause from the audience when he walked on stage to present the Yashin Trophy to Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois for best goalkeeper.

Liverpool's Alisson was second, with Ederson of Manchester City and Chelsea's Edouard Mendy third and fourth respectively. Tottenham's Hugo Lloris was 10th.

The Kopa Trophy, awarded to the best performing player under the age of 21, went to Barcelona and Spain midfielder Gavi, who turned 18 in August.

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, 19, was ranked fourth and England team-mate and Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka, 21, was eighth.

Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski won the Gerd Muller Trophy awarded to the best striker after scoring 57 goals for Bayern Munich and Poland in 2021-22.

The inaugural Socrates Award, a humanitarian prize, went to Mane for his charity work.

Five-time winner Ronaldo ranked 20th

Messi and Ronaldo have dominated the award in recent years, apart from in 2018 when Croatia midfielder Luka Modric won it.

Messi had already won the trophy more times than any other player and his seventh success in 2021 came after wins in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2019.

However, he was not nominated this time after an underwhelming first season at Paris St-Germain.

Manchester United's Ronaldo, who last won it in 2017, was placed 20th of the 30 players nominated, the Portuguese's lowest Ballon d'Or ranking since 2005.

Salah inflicts Man City's first loss as Arsenal extend lead

Mohamed Salah scored a late winner as Liverpool handed Manchester City their first defeat of the season in an enthralling match at Anfield that also extended Arsenal‘s lead at the top.

The Egyptian superbly controlled Alisson's 76th-minute clearance before spinning Joao Cancelo and racing clear to finish past Ederson.

In a contest that caught fire in the second half, City found the back of the net, only for Phil Foden's effort to be overturned after a VAR review identified a foul by Erling Haaland on Fabinho in the build-up.

Liverpool, who are the first team in 19 Premier League fixtures to stop City from scoring and the first to prevent Haaland have any goal involvement in a match, rise to eighth on 13 points.

The champions remain second on 23 points, four behind Arsenal.

Arsenal claim dramatic win

That is because the Gunners had earlier overcome Leeds United 1-0 in a dramatic match, thanks to a first-half goal from Bukayo Saka.

The winger put Arsenal ahead after the players had been brought off the pitch for 36 minutes due to a power failure that affected communications with VAR at Elland Road.

Leeds had several opportunities to equalise, with Patrick Bamford's second-half missed penalty the best.

The drama continued in stoppage time as Gabriel was shown a red card for a clash with Bamford that gave Leeds another penalty. But a VAR review led to both decisions being overturned to allow Arsenal to hang on for the three points. Leeds drop to 15th with nine points.  

Mount at the double

Chelsea's excellent form under Graham Potter continued as they made it three wins on the bounce thanks to a 2-0 victory at Aston Villa.

Mason Mount was the hero, scoring twice, his second an exquisite free-kick from distance. 

The result keeps Chelsea in fourth on 19 points, while Steven Gerrard's side lie 16th with nine.

 Stalemate at Old Trafford

Neither Manchester United or Newcastle United could get the upper hand as the match ended goalless at Old Trafford, leaving Erik ten Hag's side in fifth on 16 points, with Newcastle a place and a point further back. 

Southampton end losing run

Honours were also even at St Mary's Stadium as Southampton ended a run of four straight defeats with a 1-1 draw against West Ham United.

Romain Perraud got the hosts on their way, but Declan Rice responded for David Moyes' team, with a fine curling effort from range midway through the second half.

Saints remain in the relegation zone in 18th, with eight points, as West Ham move up to 12th on 11 points.

Quick turnaround 

The wait for more Premier League action is not long as four teams play on Tuesday night.

Brighton & Hove Albion will host Nottingham Forest, with Roberto De Zerbi seeking his first win as head coach, while Crystal Palace welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pep Guardiola: 'Manchester City have future strategy without me'

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes the club will be able to progress after his departure because it has a "strategy" in place.

The 51-year-old is in the final year of his contract, though he has given no indication he intends to leave.

Since joining City from Bayern Munich in 2016 on an initial three-year deal, Guardiola has signed two contract extensions.

"The club knows exactly what is the target, the next step," he said when asked about City's future should he leave.

"There will be zero problem, I am 100% convinced. They know what is the strategy, what they have to do for right now, the day after tomorrow, after the World Cup, next season and the next season.

"When the club depends on one person we have problems, as the club is not solid, isn't stable.

"The foundations of the club come from many and if the club just depends on 'Pep' it is because we have not done really well in this period."

During his time in charge, Guardiola has won nine major trophies with Manchester City, including four Premier League titles.

They became the first English men's team to win the domestic treble - Premier League, Carabao Cup and FA Cup - in 2019.

This season they are chasing a fifth league title in six campaigns, having retained the trophy for a second successive year in 2021-22.

"I never buy a player, I never sell a player, it's not my money," added Guardiola. "It is the club - 'club' is the most important word and every decision we make is thinking about the club. Today, the day after and for the future.

"The club knows the drill really well, the type of players that we want to play with me and without me."

'Ten Hag knows it is about results'Erik ten HagManchester United have won four and lost two of their opening six matches in the Premier League this season

Guardiola will lead second-placed City out against rivals Manchester United on Sunday and take on former Bayern Munich colleague Erik ten Hag.

United boss Ten Hag, 52, coached the Bayern reserve team during Guardiola's time in charge of the senior side.

"I have a lot of admiration for Erik," said Guardiola.

"His work in Holland, especially in Ajax in the last period, was an incredible example across Europe.

"But he knows it will depend on the results. I'm still here because we won in the past, otherwise I would not be here.

"Results give you time to build what you want, but I have a good opinion about United. If they decide to buy Erik it is because they believe he is the man."

'We are not playing against Haaland'Erling HaalandErling Haaland joined Manchester City for £51.2m from Borussia Dortmund this summer

Sixth-placed Manchester United are five points behind City going into Sunday's derby and have not finished above their neighbours in the Premier League since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013.

But Ten Hag believes the club remains "a really attractive" prospect for players to join in the transfer window because there are "world champion players" in the squad.

"We have them already in," he added. "Let's say they have the potential, some have the potential to become [the best in the world] and some already are there.

"We have a lot of players who already win the biggest titles in the world. I'm sure when I go back in the window, a lot of players will feel that Manchester United is a really attractive club for them.

"I'm not concerned about that point."

City were able to attract Erling Haaland to the club in the summer and he has been in sensational form, scoring 14 goals in 10 games in all competitions.

But Ten Hag insists United are not just focusing on the Norway striker as a threat.

"I like his attitude, how he is on the pitch. He's direct, his life is about goals - he goes direct toward the opponent," added Ten Hag.

"I respect him but we are not playing against Haaland, we are playing against Manchester City.

"And it is not about Manchester City for us. We respect the opponent but it is about Manchester United."
