Russia receives bad news after victory over Saudi Arabia; MU fires Mourinho if Martial is sold

Russia paid a heavy price for victory over Saudi Arabia

In the opening match of the 2018 World Cup, the Russian team received bad news when key midfielder Alan Dzagoev was injured.

In the 22nd minute, Alan Dzagoev unexpectedly suffered a hamstring injury while moving on the field without colliding with any other players. After that, the 27-year-old star had to lie on the field.Despite being treated by medical staff, Dzagoev had to leave the field to make way for Denis Cheryshev 3 minutes later.

After coming on for Dzagoev, Denis Cheryshev played quite impressively. In the 43rd minute, the midfielder from Villarreal Club had a tricky move in the penalty area before shooting past Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Abdullah Al-Mayoof, doubling the gap for the Russian team.

Returning to Dzagoev's injury, it is likely that the midfielder from CSKA Moscow will have to leave the 2018 World Cup early. Certainly, this is a huge loss for the home team, because the player born in 1990 is the "soul" of their midfield.

MU fires Mourinho if Martial is sold

Mourinho was ridiculed, MU had to buy back Martial at a record price after firing him.

According to the British press, Red Devils fans fear that Mourinho made the same mistake as when he was at Chelsea, paying little attention to young talent and thus ignoring bright gems, of which Kevin de Bruyne (Man City) and Mo Salah (Liverpool) are the clearest examples.

Before the news that Martial was at risk of leaving MU, fans mocked that the home team would have to buy him back at a record price after firing Mourinho!

Martial made a strong impression at MU when he moved from Monaco, under Van Gaal, but he failed to gain Mourinho's trust so his chances with the Red Devils became increasingly limited.

According to the Portuguese coach, Martial does not have enough determination and fighting spirit in training to be able to play with the highest spirit and performance. However, the latest news says that MU will not sell Martial.

Real Madrid makes Mourinho bitter, no chance to sign Bale

Mourinho is busy in Russia, preparing for the 2018 World Cup and bad news for him and MU: no chance to sign Gareth Bale.

Zidane left, and Bale's fate changed, Real was allowed to keep the Welsh midfielder, ready to sell Ronaldo, contrary to the French captain.

According to El Confidencial, Real Madrid's leaders have sat down with the Welsh midfielder's representatives, with a commitment to increase Bale's salary from his current 15 million euros/year and keep him at Bernabeu.

In recent days, Mourinho is said to have brought the Golden Ball to convince Bale to join MU, promising that at the Theater of Dreams, he will do everything to help the former Tottenham midfielder achieve that noble individual title.

Bale told MU and Mourinho to wait, because he wanted to know exactly who would replace Zidane, who Bale did not have a common voice with and made him often on the bench.

And Julen Lopetegui has been announced as the next Real Madrid hot seat man, making his club debut at the cost of losing his job as Spain coach just two days before the Portugal game.

President Perez and his right-hand man, Director of Sports Jose Angel Sanchez, have promised Bale benefits so that he will reject MU and Mourinho.

Salah recovers quickly, plays from the start at World Cup 2018

Coach Hector Cuper confirmed that Egypt's number one hope has fully recovered from injury and will play in the opening match against Uruguay on June 15.

“I am 100 percent sure that Salah will play, unless something happens at the last minute. He can win the Golden Boot and become one of the best players at this year's World Cup,” coach Hector Cuper declared.

Salah has not played a single minute since suffering a shoulder injury in last season's Champions League final. This has worried Egyptian fans because he was the leader in both the playing style and spirit of the national team during the 2018 World Cup.

Salah scored 44 goals for Liverpool last season and he is expected to help Egypt create a miracle at the 2018 World Cup.

Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez said he would be happy if Salah could play. The veteran coach admitted he did not know the Egyptian captain's condition, as his recovery was kept secret. Therefore, Uruguay has prepared both options for facing Egypt, with and without Salah.
