Gerrard slipped in Birmingham.  It didn’t last even a year at Aston Villa

Rich club one step away from the relegation zone Premier League.

The Egyptian billionaire has found a replacement

It was said that a new face had appeared on the Birmingham waterfront: a gentleman without trophies. Mauricio Roberto Pochettino, who lived in England for six years and got used to it, also became interested in new clubs in Premier League. And if he refuses to drive Aston Villa, then Nasser Sawiris, one of the richest Egyptians in the world, co-owner of the Birmingham club, can choose Sean Dyche. The Englishman is unemployed after being fired from Burnley. More experienced than Gerrard.

Stephen lasted less than a calendar year in Birmingham, three weeks shorter. During this time, his Aston Villa only issued a couple of decent cuts. In general the results are deplorable. Nineteen defeats in forty games, eight more World Cups. Now a streak of four winless fights. in eleven shifts Premier League the team, in the museum of the club there is the European Cup – “Manchester City” itself can not boast about it, it has only two victories.

Only the Portuguese of Wolverhampton has scored fewer in the league. Aston Villa has 7 goals and all from different players. Gerrard fans will tell you it wasn’t reliable, but it’s unlikely. The reason for his resignation is a poor football match, which Aston Villa had last season. The name of the change machine is also important. If Pochettino has left after working in Paris, investors are simply saving. Aston Villa does not need to be relegated to the second series.

Aston Villa richer than Naples

TO Premier League could be on the verge of relegation Everton and Aston Villa, who have more money than many in the world of football. Now the Birmingham club is in the top twenty of the richest on the planet, because Zenit has definitely lost this spot. Aston Villa’s spending is higher than that of some big teams. For example, from Seville, Rome, Atalanta and Naples. And Everton is even richer, ahead of Milan for seasonal income.

It is clear that Gerrard and Lampard should not have fought for safety. Frank, having failed to kill the footballer himself at Chelsea, is trying to gain a foothold in Liverpool. The Butterscotch are also playing poorly: three losses in a row, but so far they have sacked another English football legend. Manager Gerrard remained a player. Steven always pretended to be a gentleman, a bully. And at 42 he hasn’t grown up much. The best example from personal life.

Gerrard has three daughters, the eldest Lilly-Ella is already eighteen. So, she is dating Lee Byrne, 23. The boy is the son of the head of the largest drug cartel in Britain and Ireland. The Kinahan cartel is a dangerous organization, and Liam Byrne is a dangerous criminal involved in fraud, fraud of the common people and is associated with drug trafficking, as a result of which the British die. And Stephen is his friend, he says.

Gerrard can seem quiet with himself when he goes to parties with the drug lords. But what kind of father is happy that his daughter is dating the son of a cartel boss whose house was brought into the house by an SUV? What if Lilly-Ella was sitting on the sofa in the living room? The very fact that the coach of the club Premier League Flirting with a criminal and inviting him to games may not appeal to Aston Villa management. Steven has always been two-faced. But the coach has to be wiser than the player.

Gerrard is not suitable for Liverpool

Even with Klopp, despite the fact that the German killed the footballer inside himself a long time ago, communication with Mane, Salah, Henderson and Nunez does not always go smoothly. Jürgen ignites the anger of the Mainz captain. If Liverpool fans dream that Gerrard will eventually replace Jürgen, then it is time for them to fear their hopes. It’s like naming Thierry Henry instead of Arteta as Arsenal’s head coach. The Frenchman has already shown himself as a coach: he has proved to be an arrogant, cruel and unfair troublemaker without deep analytical skills.

That’s why great players rarely become great coaches. They are driven by the ego. For example, from the capricious Ronaldo the coach will not work, just as Maradona did not. Gerrard didn’t understand how Ings and Watkins couldn’t play like Salah and Firmino. I didn’t know how to get the spineless Coutinho out of another crisis. The Aston Villa defense has repeatedly framed poor Martinez – yet Emiliano is preparing for the main tournament of his life, the World Cup in Qatar.

The coach did not put the defending team to be proud of. At the same time, he remembers the previous point: the club has money. It is clear that Diego Carlos could strengthen the defense, but he was injured. But even without him, there are enough people you can play 4-3-3 with, for whom you are not ashamed. Digne is a footballer with 44 appearances in France. That he is exchanged with the young Mikolenko at Everton, but there, after all, the point is in the contrast with the coach, and not in the left wing class.

Gerrard has Douglas Louis on the team. With such a midfielder, you can move mountains, score with direct feeds from the corners of the pitch, then technically gifted. Milan, Roma and Arsenal were interested in Douglas, but Gerrard did not get the most out of the joint work. Never judge a manager from the Scottish league: Celtic and Rangers are decent teams, but not strong enough to allow their league champion to succeed painlessly in Premier League.

Rodgers, who also worked in Glasgow, didn’t reach Leicester for a Champions League spot, even though he was close. And now he is in last place. The Foxes don’t fire a mentor just because that’s not the only reason terrible series, and the resignation would cost 10 million pounds. Gerrard also got richer yesterday when Fulham destroyed him. Of course, let’s not put an end to the young coach, it’s early for categorical evaluations. But it didn’t work out at Aston Villa.

And the worst conclusion for Stevie is that he didn’t show the coach’s talent. There has been no massive relocation campaign, no successful search for a man who can replace Grealish between the lines. Gerrard hoped that he would be the leader of the team, you see the result. Pochettino can clean up the mess and save him from relegation, but Steven has sown doubts in the heads of Liverpool bosses. He openly says he wants to lead the “reds”, but competence is up for debate.

The RFU thanked the Ministry of Sport for the dialogue on the limit for foreign players

Russian Football Federation (RFU) grateful to the Ministry of Sports RF for dialogue on the limit on foreign players. The Secretary General spoke about it in an interview RFU Maxim Mitrofanov.

The Ministry of Sports proposes to tighten the limit for foreign players by 2028 according to the “10 foreign players in the application, 5 on the field” scheme.

“The dialogue is ongoing and the Ministry must be thanked for this,” Mitrofanov said. — Formally, the ministry is not obliged to do so, since it is within its powers to change the limit for foreign players. But it’s important to understand the goal. A limit is one of the tools needed for something. The restriction on the use of players who are not eligible to play for the national team is necessary to stimulate our system of training a sports reserve. In order for everyone to pay attention to this, invest efforts and resources. But, probably, only an integrated approach will work, which takes into account both efforts in the development of the reserve training system, and the creation of conditions to protect our players from unfair competition from players trained by other federations.”

“We note that today the share of foreign players in RPL and the Football National League (FNL) does not exceed 2.5%, plus approximately 2% are players from countries with which we have special agreements: Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan. These players are not legally legionaries. That is, the maximum is about 5% of all football players. The percentage of playing time for foreigners is now the same as when it was under the strictest limit, which assumed no more than six foreigners on the field. Both then and now – about 40%. At the same time, the percentage of time dedicated to gaming among young Russians is growing: about 18% of the time RPL players under 23 receive. The number of these players in the national team is growing. Over the course of three years, 26 young footballers made their debut there; they don’t take the field occasionally, but practice thoroughly,” added Mitrofanov.

According to the current limit, clubs RPL can include 13 foreign players in the application and release 8 foreign players on the field. In September, the Russian Football Federation said that the current limit allows for the first time to increase the playing time of young players to 18%.

On the popularity of football

Mitrofanov noted the growing popularity of football. “The popularity of football is growing, the average attendance is also growing, despite football being the only sport where you need a fan card to enter the stadium,” he said. — To some this may seem like an administrative obstacle, but now more than 3.5 million Russians have been issued a fan card. Football is the only sport that can provide 100% accurate data on the number of fans attending matches. Average attendance went from 12.5 thousand to over 14 thousand. This suggests we are approaching record levels for the 2018/19 season.”

“Look at the rankings, which say that we have no more watched and watched sporting events than the matches of the Russian national team, the national championship and the national cup. There are certainly matches of the Champions League, world and European championships, which are competitive and even superior in terms of performance, because they are flagship events. But when compared to other sports, even taking into account foreign competitions, there is nothing higher than football in terms of viewership,” the Secretary General added. RFU.

Mitrofanov noted the correct work RFU for the development of football. “Collectively, this shows that we are moving in the right direction: developing youth and investing in football reserves. It is important that even at a meeting of representatives of the association of national football coaches, they said that there may be different interpretations of the limit in terms of demands, but there should be no limit on the field, because a coach is not a mathematician to calculate how many foreign players he currently has on the field, whether he can replace a foreigner or just a Russian player. There are restrictions in both hockey. and basketball, but there are none when it comes to stay on the field. In principle, healthy competition in sport, including internal competition, is beneficial,” he concluded.
