Lamine Yamal en @La1_tve:
"Me encuentro muy bien físicamente, con ganas, estoy preparado el domingo"
"Para un partido completo aún no me veo, es innecesario. Tengo un proceso de adaptación primero, pero estoy para jugar los minutos que el míster quiera. Desde donde esté siempre preparado para ayudar al equipo"
"Lo primero que pensé cuando me lesioné es que me perdía el Mundial. Gracias a dios los médicos me dijeron que llegaba sobrado. Nunca me había lesionado y me ha servido para madurar"
🚨🔵 BREAKING: Manchester City agree on new deal for Jeremy Doku.
Verbal agreement in place with details to be finalised soon, five year deal and salary increased for Belgian winger.
Doku, set to sign soon — same as Josko Gvardiol.
FIFA World Cup physical data exposes who actually has an elite engine.
In elite tracking data, the 20-25 km/h bracket is classified as High-Speed Running (HSR), while 25+ km/h is pure Sprinting. Looking at HSR volume shows a brutal physical drop-off at tournament level:
• 700m+ : Strong modern fullback or midfielder output.
• 800m+ : Rare territory. Maybe 10-15 players total.
• 900m+ : Pure physical outliers. Only 5 players hit this ceiling.
• 1000m+ : Complete anomaly. Just 1 player cracked it.
The Outliers (HSR/Sprinting):
🟢 Petar Sučić: 962m/236m (Massive coverage)
🟢 Ismael Saibari: 964m/465m (Absurd power profile)
🟢 Mohannad Abu Taha: 975m/211m (Constant transition threat)
🟢 Raphinha: 989m/500m (Out-of-possession gold standard)
🔵 Michael Olise: 1.049m/421m (1k+ volume from a creative profile is simply a cheat code)
Flashy top-end sprints look great on a highlight reel. But repeatable, high-volume output in that 20-25 km/h HSR bracket is what actually breaks an opposition's defensive structure over 90 minutes. Elite physical profiles.
🚨 Manchester City are confident to get Elliot Anderson deal done, now at the final stages after work behind the scenes.
New round of talks to take place for the English midfielder who would undergo medical in the US before joining #MCFC if all goes to plan.
💙👋🏼 Marc Cucurella: “It’s not easy to leave Chelsea. I am very grateful for everything Chelsea has given me…
…but the step I take now is bigger: I return to my country and to a great club”.
🚨 Tottenham Hotspur among clubs keen on signing Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United - separate to #THFC pursuit of Sandro Tonali. Interest driven by Roberto De Zerbi; wants #WHUFC talent as well as #NUFC midfielder. W/ @DTathletic@SebSB@TheAthleticFC https://t.co/xnahVXnYAZ
🚨 EXCL: Liverpool inform RB Leipzig of willingness to pay package approaching €100m for Yan Diomande. #LFC firmly in driving seat at present but studying more options if needed as #RBLeipzig want to keep 19yo + #PSG remain strong contender @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/J0zcTChtCg
🚨 BREAKING: RB Leipzig turn down €100m proposal received from Liverpool for Yan Diomandé.
RB Leipzig want more than €100m as still try to keep him — understand €120m could be the way… for now, based on WC performances too.
Leipzig expect PSG and more clubs to join the race.
€90m plus €10m from Liverpool not enough, as @philipphinze24 reported.
