Hazard’s zero number in a narrow Real victory
Real Madrid trembled to a 1-0 win over fourth-tier Cacereño in the cup yesterday. The goal of the day came from Rodrygo while another Los Blancos failed to draw attention – at least not in a good way. We’re talking about Eden Hazard. “Hazard missed another chance”, the ‘Marca’ and the ‘as’ agree. The Spanish portal ‘Relevo’ has the corresponding numbers: “Zero goals, zero assists, zero shots on goal, zero total shots, zero dribbling attempts, zero crossings, zero headers won, zero fouls on him, zero fouls awarded.”.
Arsenal only draw – Lampard under pressure at Everton?
The Premier League had some exciting results ready again yesterday. Manchester United was able to confirm the good impression. The Red Devils deservedly won 3-0 against AFC Bournemouth with Casemiro among the goalscorers. The Daily Express writes: “Casemiro feels like home”. The English newspaper headlines Arsenal at the top of the table “Fight to the End”, because in the end the Londoners couldn’t get more than a 0-0 draw against Newcastle United. It was even worse for Frank Lampard and his Everton FC. The ‘Mirror’ reports from “Boos and “board out” chants” after losing 4-1 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Deschamps makes claims
An extension of Didier Deschamps’ contract as national coach of France is still open. The cover of ‘L’Équipe’ reads: “Conditional Renewal”. Deschamps would like to lead the fortunes of the runner-up world champion until 2026. On the other hand, the President of the French Football Association Noël Le Graët is only willing to continue the cooperation until 2024.
