Mbappe's Madrid Debut Raises Balance Concerns for Ancelotti

Top 15 football summer transfers of 2024

By September 5, 2024 0

Finally, the transfer window has shut. And with that, all of us might have our list of yays and nays when it comes to transfers.

While Madrid fans will be ecstatic with the arrival of France sensation Kylian Mbappe and Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, Chelsea are seriously having a headache as to what to do with a squad boasting of 43 players. 43 effing players. Shocking right?

The summer of 2024 has been an eventful one for the football world. While there are way too many arrivals (pun intended) there are few players who have to depart to a different club in search of 💰 or more playing time.

In this article, we will be looking at the top 15 summer transfers that have taken place in the football world in 2024.

Top 15 football summer transfers of 2024

Julian Alvarez (Manchester City to Atletico Madrid)

Julian Alvarez Set for Atletico Madrid Move in Record-Breaking Deal

Argentina’s Julian Alvarez, who played second fiddle to Erling Haaland during his time at Manchester City; wanted to have more playing time. And this season, the midfielder received a bid from Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid who are going through a transition phase. 

With a dismal performance coming from Simeone’s squad last season, it was high time they looked for a striker who could land them goals (in dozens). And Alvarez seemed to be a perfect fit. Atletico Madrid announced the arrival of Alvarez from Manchester City in a deal worth £82m (€95m). 

Conor Gallagher (Chelsea to Atletico Madrid)

Enzo Maresca’s arrival at Chelsea meant trouble for many. Ex-Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher was one of the many players leaving Stamford Bridge. The Blues midfielder found a new home at 2020-21 La Liga champions Atletico Madrid.

Atlético Madrid completed the signing of midfielder Conor Gallagher from Chelsea in a deal worth around €40 million ($44m). With this signing, Atletico has strengthened their midfield comprising Koke, Rodrigo de Paul, Thomas Lemar, and Marcos Llorente.

Leny Yoro (Lille to Manchester United)

Manchester United had a busy summer. After securing the services of Joshua Zirkzee, the Red Devils beat Spanish giants Real Madrid to get France’s Leny Yoro to Old Trafford. 

The center-back moved to the Red Devils in a deal worth £52m plus add-ons. This might seem a very big amount considering the youngster’s age. However, the French center-back is being considered as one of the best teenagers in the football world.

Kylian Mbappe (PSG to Real Madrid)

Mbappé's Hacked Account Sparks Controversy with Cryptocurrency Promotion and Provocative Tweets

One of the most anticipated transfers of this season finally happened after a lot of controversy. Kylian Mbappe followed his idol’s footsteps (no points for the right guesses). The 2018 World Cup winner joined 2023-24 UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid on a free transfer.

Mbappé, 25, signed a five-year contract at the club after leaving Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. Madrid president Florentina Perez had been seeking the France captain’s signature since the 2018 FIFA World Cup; the first time Mbappe broke on the international stage. But things couldn’t materialize somehow.

However, now that he has joined his dream club, will the Frenchmen be able to emulate his idol’s success at the club?

Endrick (Palmeiras to Real Madrid)

Real Madrid needs to be credited for their smart transfer business. After getting Kylian Mbappe at the club, the La Liga giants decided to bring Brazilian wonderkid Endrick to Santiago Bernabeu. 

Madrid agreed a deal to sign forward Endrick from Palmeiras in December 2022, but the prospect could not formally join the club until his 18th birthday on July 21, 2024.

Dani Olmo (RB Leipzig to Barcelona)

Dani Olmo Poised for Barcelona Debut as Financial Woes Ease

After helping his country lift the Euro 2024 trophy, Dani Olmo has decided to join the boyhood club, Barcelona. The Catalans who had shown interest in the La Masia graduate finally secured the player this transfer season.

The La Liga giants have reportedly sent an offer worth €62 million (£53 million) with a €55 million (£47 million) initial fee and €7 million (£6 million) in add-ons. The midfielder has agreed to sign a six-year contract with Barcelona.

Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth to Tottenham Hotspurs)

Seems like Harry Kane’s move to Bayern Munich has seriously affected Tottenham. The perennial underachievers of the Premier League have failed to convert their attacks into goals. The failure of Richarlison and the constant injury problems of Heung Min Son have put additional pressure on the club. 

The North London club has decided to fill the void of a consistent striker by bringing Bournemouth’s goal-scoring machine Dominic Solanke to the club. As per the deal, Solanke cost a total of £65m for the Spurs. The deal will see Spurs pay an initial £55m with £10m possible to follow in bonuses.

Pedro Neto (Wolves to Chelsea)

Chelsea are going berserk at the transfer window this season. Could you believe they have a squad boasting a total of 9 goalkeepers? Wonder what the football pundits have to say about this!!

After signing a total of 13 players this season, the move of Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Blues has met with an amazing response from the fans.

As for the numbers, Pedro Neto has completed his move to Chelsea from Wolves; the Blues will pay £51.4m upfront plus £2.6m in add-ons.

Federico Chiesa (Juventus to Liverpool)

Federico Chiesa Joins Liverpool in 12.5 Million Pound Deal

The Arne Slot era at Anfield has begun. After deciding to not do any summer signings (unusual by a club of their standards), Liverpool decided to make a late entry into the transfer window.

Chiesa, the Italian starboy who lit up the Euro 2020 stage with his amazing dribbling skills, decided to make a move into the Premier League. The former Juventus player signed a three-year deal worth €13M; which seems to be a bargain for the 2019-20 Premier League winners.

Manuel Ugarte (PSG to Manchester United)

The lack of powerhouse midfielders has been hurting Manchester United for the past few seasons. Yes, skipper Bruno Fernandes has been holding the fort quite well for the Red Devils. But the need for more players like him is needed at Old Trafford.

And the Red Devils have pinned their hopes on Manuel Ugarte. The Uruguayan international, who plays for Paris St. Germain has arrived at Manchester United. The club shelled out €50 million to secure his services; who was a top target for manager Erik Ten Hag.

Ivan Toney (Brentford to Al-Ahli)

After being linked to a move to Chelsea, Brentford star Ivan Toney has decided to try his luck at the Saudi Pro League. The Englishman has decided to join the Middle East club for a stunning move to Al-Ahli that cost €42M on the deadline day.  At Al-Ahli, Toney will earn a staggering £403,000-a-week including bonuses. It means Toney will earn more than 13 times the £36,000-a-week wage he picked up at Brentford.

Matthijs de Ligt (Bayern Munich to Manchester United)

Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United have bolstered their defense with the addition of Matthijs de Ligt. The former Juventus and Bayern Munich player has signed a contract until June 2029, with the option to extend for a further year.

The Netherlands international has signed a deal worth a combined £60 million ($76.6m) including add-ons.

The news will surely boost the hopes of United fans who want to make a return to UEFA Champions League football.

Joao Neves (Benfica to PSG)

After a lot of helter-skelter, Benfica star Joao Neves has confirmed a move to Paris St. Germain. 

The young Portuguese player has joined PSG for a five-year deal worth €60 million.

Considered one of the hottest properties in the football world, Neves will surely try his best to win the first-ever Champions League for the Ligue 1 champions.

Michael Olise (Crystal Palace to Bayern Munich)

Looks like last year’s dismal Bundesliga season has made Bayern Munich head back straight to the drawing board and strengthen its squad. To get back to winning ways, the German champions have signed Michael Olise from Crystal Palace. 

The Bundesliga side will pay £50.8m (€60m) including add-ons to bring the 22-year-old to the Allianz Arena.

Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid to Chelsea)

After Romelu Lukaku, the only player who can claim to have an amazing agent is Portugal’s Joao Felix. After doing back and forth between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, the winger has finally decided to move back to Stamford Bridge for a seven-year deal worth €50 million.

 

Other Notable Mentions:

Jadon Sancho (Manchester United to Chelsea)

Victor Osimhein (Napoli to Galatasaray)

Douglas Luiz (Aston Villa to Juventus)

Mats Hummels (Borrusia Dortmund to AS Roma)

How to improve your football dribbling skills: A path to mastery

By September 3, 2024 0

Football dribbling is an art form that combines creativity, technique, and strategic thinking. It is more than just a skill. Improvement in dribbling abilities can have a significant impact on performance on the field for athletes, whether they are seasoned pros or prospective players wanting to improve their skills. This article offers a thorough guide for enhancing your football dribbling abilities, making you a more formidable player.

 

  1. Understand the Basics of Dribbling

To start down the path to becoming a better dribbler, you must understand the fundamentals. Dribbling calls for the ability to handle the ball while sprinting, which calls for both coordination and agility. During gameplay, maintaining the ball near your feet enhances control and responsiveness. This foundational knowledge lays the groundwork for later, more sophisticated methods.

  1. Master the Seven C’s of Dribbling

The “Seven C’s of Dribbling” cover a variety of abilities necessary for efficient dribbling. These include being able to change course, change speed, distance traveled, be creative, and adjust to various circumstances. By working on each element independently, athletes can create a versatile dribbling style that works in any situation during a game.

  1. Implement Dribbling Drills

Targeted drills are a great way to improve your skills while training. Here are some drills that work well:

Closed-Space Dribbling Drill: Practice moving through three triangle-shaped cones by using all of your foot’s surfaces. This exercise enhances ball control in confined areas.

Cone Dribble Drill: Place cones in a straight line and alternate between dribbling through your inside and outside foot. Your capacity to move in different directions is enhanced by this.

One-on-One Controlled Dribble: Work on your ability to manoeuvre under pressure by dribbling against defenders. This is a crucial skill for circumstances that arise during games.

 

  1. Work on Change of Pace

A proficient dribbler is aware of when to accelerate and when to slow down. Changing up the tempo during practice might help you confuse opponents and free up space for passes or shots. This essential talent can be developed with basic workouts like short bursts of acceleration followed by slower recovery periods.

  1. Focus on Close Ball Control

Players might gain the upper hand in games by keeping the ball close to them. Positioning yourself better against defenders is made possible by practising light touches and keeping the ball inside a few feet. Close ball control training on a regular basis can greatly improve this area of your game.

  1. Incorporate Creative Techniques

Participate in creative and enjoyable freestyle dribbling workouts to advance your dribbling. Through these activities, you may develop your signature moves that confuse opponents and open up space. You can also improve your game by studying the skills of professional dribblers and adopting their style.

  1. Develop a Strong Mental Game

Dribbling requires more than just good physical skill; it also requires a solid mental game. On the field, staying aware of your surroundings enables you to make judgments more quickly and strategically. To improve your ability to read the game, try imagining good dribbles or watching professional matches.

 

Football dribbling is a technique that requires commitment, repetition, and a willingness to get better. You may improve your dribbling skills and eventually your game by learning the foundations, implementing different drills, concentrating on creativity, and enhancing your mental sharpness. Remind yourself while you focus on your training because improvement takes time and that each touch you make with the ball will bring you one step closer to mastery. Put on your boots, step onto the field, and watch as your development into an expert dribbler takes place.

Pakistan Coach Gillespie Backs Babar Azam Amidst Batting Slump

Turmoil on Social Media as Babar Azam’s Fake Retirement Sparks Outrage as Pakistan Faces Bangladesh

By September 3, 2024 0

In a whirlwind of confusion and frustration, Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan cricket team, has become the unwitting center of social media chaos following a series of fake retirement announcements. As Pakistan struggles to avoid what could be a humiliating Test series loss to Bangladesh, this fabricated news has taken social media by storm, sending fans and followers into a frenzy.

The situation escalated dramatically as a parody account posted a mock retirement announcement attributed to Babar Azam. The post, which was meant as a joke, quickly spiraled out of control, leading to a flood of memes and a deluge of reactions from fans and detractors alike. As I scrolled through my social media feeds, the hashtags and memes mocking Babar became impossible to ignore; it felt as though cricket fans were grappling with a mix of bewilderment and humor in response to the situation.

As Pakistan faces the possibility of their first-ever Test series defeat against Bangladesh, the tension surrounding Babar’s leadership has reached a boiling point. The team’s poor form in recent matches has led to mounting scrutiny of Babar’s captaincy. On one hand, the fake news adds to the noise; on the other, it detracts from the serious questions about team dynamics and performance. 

In the midst of this digital furor, many fans have come to Babar’s defense, emphasizing the need for solidarity rather than ridicule. Having seen the emotional toll that public scrutiny can take on athletes, it was heartening to witness supporters rally around him, urging the cricket community to focus on encouragement rather than mockery. Their messages resonated deeply, reminding us that behind every high-profile athlete is a person battling immense pressure.

This incident serves as a poignant reminder of how misinformation can spread like wildfire in today’s digital age. The blur between fact and fiction often leaves individuals vulnerable to the whims of society’s ever-changing narrative. As I reflected on the events, I realized the importance of responsible sharing and the impact it can have on real lives, especially for someone like Babar, who is currently navigating intense public scrutiny.

​While the chaos surrounding Babar Azam’s fake retirement announcements continues to unfold, it is crucial to remember the greater challenges the Pakistan cricket team faces on the field.​ As they fight to salvage their pride against Bangladesh, let’s channel our energies toward support and unity, reminding ourselves that every game is an opportunity for growth.

Coco Gauff Couldn’t defend her US Open Title

By September 3, 2024 0

​In a stunning turn of events at the US Open, defending champion Coco Gauff faced a heartbreaking loss to American Emma Navarro in the fourth round.​ The match concluded with scores of 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, marking the end of Coco’s title defense and leaving her fans in shock and disappointment.

As I watched the match unfold, it was clear that both players were giving it their all. Coco started strong, showcasing the power and finesse that brought her the championship last year. However, Emma Navarro, who has shown steady improvement, was equally determined to make her mark. The tension in the stadium was palpable, as each point felt like an epic clash of wills. Coco’s spirited fight in the second set gave us hope, but ultimately, Navarro’s consistent performance and fewer unforced errors proved to be decisive.

Witnessing Coco’s struggle was bittersweet. As a young athlete, she has become an incredible role model, demonstrating not just skill but also resilience and grace under pressure. Despite the loss, I couldn’t help but admire her fighting spirit and her ability to push through the tough moments. It reminded me that every athlete faces challenges, and even the best have to contend with setbacks along the way.

While Coco’s journey in the tournament has come to an end, there is no doubt that her story is far from over. At just 20 years old, she has already achieved so much, and this loss will only fuel her determination to come back stronger. Her journey serves as a powerful reminder that setbacks are a part of growth. I look forward to seeing how she evolves in the coming seasons, and I believe this experience will only make her more formidable.

On the other hand, Emma Navarro deserves immense credit for her victory. Advancing to the quarterfinals is a significant achievement, and her composure during the match was impressive. As she continues her journey in the tournament, I am excited to see how far she can go.

While Coco Gauff’s loss at the US Open brings a moment of sadness, it also opens up a narrative of resilience and hope. As fans, we must rally behind her, celebrating not just her victories but also her growth through challenges. Here’s to Coco, who remains a beacon of inspiration, and to Emma, whose determination shines brightly. The world of tennis will surely continue to dazzle us with stories of triumph and perseverance in the matches yet to come!

Sheetal devi wins hearts with a bullseye start

By September 2, 2024 0

​In an unforgettable moment that has left audiences around the globe in awe, 17-year-old Paralympic archer Sheetal Devi began her competition in outstanding fashion by hitting a perfect bullseye.​ As a passionate follower of the Paralympics, I was not only thrilled to witness her performance but also deeply moved by the immense talent and determination she showcased on such a grand stage. 

Sheetal’s journey in archery is nothing short of remarkable. Competing in the Paralympics, she shot her first arrow with incredible accuracy, securing a bullseye that echoed throughout the arena. The crowd erupted into thunderous applause, celebrating not only her skill but also her courage as an athlete.

What struck me most about Sheetal’s performance is her resilience. Overcoming challenges that many of us cannot even begin to imagine, she exemplifies the true essence of sportsmanship. Her ability to harness her skills, coupled with the emotional support from the crowd, created an electrifying atmosphere at the Paralympic venue. It felt like the entire arena was united in cheering for her and acknowledging her journey.

Though Sheetal’s journey at the paralympic has come to an end. But during her time there hse has shown immense skill and determination. Shel had secured a second-place finish in the ranking round, narrowly missing a world para archery record by just one point.

Mariana Zuniga of Chile was her opponent in the Women’s Individual Compound Open 1/8 Elimination match, and it was an intense match. Although both archers showed incredible talent and tenacity, Zuniga ultimately prevailed by the slimmest of margins, winning 138–137.

As Sheetal continues her journey in the Paralympics, I am excited to see what else she will accomplish. Her bullseye start is merely a glimpse of what’s to come, and I have no doubt that she will continue to put forth remarkable performances.

Yulia Putintseva: Tennis Star and Vlogging Sensation

US Open 2024 witnesses ugly moment

By September 2, 2024 0

In the match between Yulia Putintseva and Jasmine Paolini, the game witnessed an awkward moment between Putintseva and the ball girl. This incident took place during the third round and it attracted criticism on social media.

During this match at the Louis Armstrong Stadium, Putintseva motioned for the ball girl to toss the tennis balls to her. However, instead of catching the first two balls, she allowed them to bounce off the ground before finally catching the third and picking up the others. The ball girl appeared stunned by this sequence, while the crowd, sensing the disrespect in the moment, responded with boos directed at Putintseva.

Following the incident, Putintseva issued a public apology, acknowledging her actions and expressing regret over how the situation unfolded. 

“I want to apologize to the ball girl for the way I was, when she was giving me balls. Honestly speaking it was not about her. I was really pissed at myself by not winning the game from the breakpoint and then got empty with my emotions and deep in my thoughts, that I was not even focusing on what’s going on and who gives me the ball… All the ball kids was doing amazing as always at the open. ”

This incident is a stark reminder of the importance of sportsmanship in tennis and all sports. Players are often viewed as role models, and their behavior on and off the court can significantly impact their young fans and aspiring players.

I hope that this serves as a learning opportunity not only for Putintseva but also for others in the competitive sports environment. Respect for everyone involved in the game from fellow competitors to ball girls and umpires is crucial for maintaining the spirit of sports.
