Cameroon boss Broos hits out at Confederations Cup organisation
Hugo Broos has criticised Confederations Cup organisers after Cameroon's tardiness was questioned in St Petersburg.The African champions were 40 minutes late for a scheduled training session on Tuesday and failed to show up punctually for a media conference at 11:00am local time the next day, prompting one sarcasticRussian journalist to query whether they would be ready for their 6:00pm kick-off against Australia on Thursday evening.The usually affable Broos took umbridge and laid the blame for Cameroon's timekeeping issuessquarely at the door of the tournament organisers.The Belgian said: "The answer is it is not our fault."I have been annoyed twice already. First of all in Moscow because we arrived an hour late to the stadium for our match because of traffic and on Tuesdaywe had the same problem."The bus arrived 45 minutes late at the hotel and then we got stuck in traffic here in St Petersburg so it is not our fault and I think the organisation team must review the way teams are transferred from the hotel to the stadium."I was extremely annoyed once again Will Keane has signed a one-year contract with Ipswich Town.The former Manchester United youth product spent the second half of last season on loan at Portman Road from Hull City.Keane was a free agentBalthazar at the end of last season and decided to return to Ipswich.The club were relegated to League One following a disappointing 2018/19 campaign.because when you have to train and you have a programme and then you arrive back at the hotel and have to have dinner at 10pmit is really unpleasant, so from that point of view it must be reviewed."They have to review the transfers for the World Cup next year and how you Matteo Darmian.The Serie A champions fear they could lose Joao Cancelo this summer with Manchester City among the clubs interested.That means they are eyeing up replacements and Darmian is once again on their radar, says The Sun.The 29-year-old form will move teams from the hotel to the training stadium
and for the matches."Cameroon played well in their opening game before going down to late goals from Chile's Arturo Vidal and Eduardo Vargas on Sunday in Moscow.And Broos believes the experience gained from playing against different nations, and different styles, will only help his side in the long run.He added: "To take part in this tournament is a great experience for us. Every time you playagainst a team with a different style it brings more wealth to our group so I am happy to see we played well against Chile and I hope this will be confirmed in the next two matches."I hope we can get through thegroup phase butif we play the same as we did against Chile and we don't qualify for the semi-finals I will not be disappointed."

robably the reason why they didn’t win it is because they didn’t have a striker. Costa is the final piece of the jigsaw, maybe along with Cesc Fabregas as well,” Minto, a former defender for the Blues, told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.“If he can score the goals, which he has been doing in pre-season, there is every chance of Chelsea winning the title.“I think it will be between Chelsea and Manchester City and I have got a sneaky suspicion for Chelsea.

He can bully defenders, but he can also have that special deft touch that can assist or maybe finish for a goal.“Chelsea, under Jose Mourinho, are so strong at the minute that even if they have a few injuries they can ride it and I think it is their title to lose.”

oui was eligible to play for Morocco and declared his allegiance for the north African country, making his senior international bow in June, coming on as a substitute in Morocco’s 2-1 World Cup qualifying victory over Tanzania. After three years with Chateauroux, El-Jadeyaoui was snapped up by Stade Brest for whom he had arguably his best season to date, scoring six times in 31 matches as Brest finished the season in an unremarkable 14th place. El-Jadeyaoui’s performances caught the eye of Blackburn Rovers, who handed him a trial, although he would end the summer as a Guigamp player, with the club paying around £220,000 for his services. His two years at Guingamp were largely uneventful and he was released, joining current side Angers on a free transfer last summer. His form for Angers though was good, and his four goals and ten assists in 35 matches has reportedly alerted Arsenal, with head scout Gilles Grimandi’s glowing reference prompting the Gunners to hand him a trial. Perhaps even more intriguing though have been revelations that the Moroccan international shares an agent with out-of-favour Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh.“For Alharbi, this is something else. We’re not in a negotiation phase yet. Arsenal have watched him many times, with Morocco as well. We thought it would be nice for him to spend time in England. It is rewarding for him and it is rewarding for us.” – Angers general manager Olivier Pickeu on the player’s surprise trial.What do you make of El-Jadeyaoui? Should Arsenal make a move for the relatively unknown quantity? Let us know your thoughts below.

Chances were few and far apart for both sides, as Barcelona dominated possession but struggled to break down the hard-working Espanyol defence.Espanyol managed to hold Enrique's side to a frustrating goalless draw as they headed for the break, after neither side managed to record a single shot on goal in the entire forty-five minutes.All of Espanyol's efforts in defence were thrown down the drain in the early minutes of the second half, with Jurado making a terrible mistake. The former Real Madrid man, who had missed the best chance of the match in the first half, played a horrendous back pass which was aimed at nobody. Luis Suarez was set clear on goal and the Uruguayan did not hesitate to slot the ball past Lopez with the outside of his right boot.Espanyol managed to respond well and open up the match to award chances to both sides. Though Barcelona could have benefitted from a slower pace, Enrique's side surged forward in search of a second.Messi surged forward in what is rapidly becoming a trademark run down the middle, which completely opened up the Espanyol defence and, as it looked like the little magician was about to shoot, he found Rakitic out wide for the Croatian to calmly pass the ball into the net.It was game over for the hosts after that, with the away team pressing for another goal. And it was harsh for Espanyol as yet another defensive blunder allowed Suarez Edento pick up the pieces inside the area, go around Lopez and blast home his double.The first half was sluggish from Enrique'-old playmaker was widely linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer but a move never materialised, with Maddison yet to rule out a move to Old Trafford.He told the Mirror: “I want to play at the highest level my ability will allow me tos team, but in the final thirty minutes they were superb and they deserved to win.
