Neymar does what Messi and Ronaldo have not done; MU buys another killer on the attack line

Neymar does what Messi and Ronaldo have not done

Brazil played relatively stalemate against Mexico in the first half. But shortly after the second half started, they opened the scoring. Neymar was the one who scored after a situation where he ran in and tapped the ball into the goal from close range from Willian's cross.

The goal helped Brazil play more proactively than their opponents. By the end of the match, they had another goal to make it 2-0. This time, Neymar also indirectly contributed when his close-range shot was accidentally pushed out by the goalkeeper to Firmino when the goal was empty.

Brazil escaped an early exit from the 2018 World Cup like many big teams, including Germany, Argentina, Spain and Portugal. Neymar's goal was the turning point that helped turn the match around.

But its significance was even greater, as it was Neymar's first goal in the knockout stages of the World Cup. This is something that neither Messi nor Ronaldo have achieved.

Before the tournament, Neymar boldly declared himself the number one player in the world. However, that was because Messi and Ronaldo were from other planets. Now that he has surpassed his two seniors and has a ticket to the next round, Neymar is gradually asserting that he can absolutely become greater than them.

Mexican goalkeeper sets record for saves at World Cup 2018

Another impressive performance, with some flying runs in between the sticks, helped Mexico's Guillermo Ochoa become the first goalkeeper at the 2018 World Cup to reach 20 saves. This is a much more impressive number than David De Gea, who left the tournament with just one.

However, Ochoa's excellent performance in this match as well as in this year's tournament (a total of 25 saves) could not help Mexico advance as they were scored against by Brazil twice thanks to Neymar and Firmino.

MU buys another killer on the attack line

According to the MEN, if there is a reason from the 2018 World Cup, why coach Mourinho still wants to add another striker to MU, it is because of Marcus Rashford, with his... terrible ability in the match where England lost to Belgium 0-1.

Mourinho is looking for another killer for MU. Marko Arnautovic (West Ham) is one of the targets.

That was the match where the young MU star had a chance to prove himself, playing from the start. However, he disappointed when he missed a perfect opportunity in the 66th minute.

Receiving a favorable pass, Rashford was in a favorable position to make a curling shot into the far corner but could not beat goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, still reaching out to touch the ball with his fingertips to push it out of bounds, saving the Belgian Red Devils.

Because England had already booked their ticket and didn't want to be first, despite the poor finish, Rashford was still praised by England fans.

But Mourinho has a reason to need another striker when Rashford has not yet created confidence for him when needed. Obviously with Lukaku having 4 goals, Rashford still needs more time to mature.

According to the above source, the names that MU and Mourinho are targeting are Mario Mandzukic (Juventus) and Marko Arnautovic (West Ham).

Salah extends contract for another 5 yearsLiverpool

Mohamed Salah's future finally has a clear answer. Liverpool are delighted to announce that the Egyptian striker has signed a new five-year contract, one season after moving to Anfield from AS Roma.

Klopp and Liverpool are happy that Salah has signed a new contract until 2023.

Mohamed Salah was the standout name last season. He won all the individual titles in the Premier League: Top scorer with 32 goals, Best Player voted by the Organizing Committee and Player of the Year by the English Football Players' Association...

Salah has scored 44 goals for Liverpool in 52 appearances. It's just a pity that in the most important match of the season, the Egyptian King encountered Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid) who was too tricky and suffered a shoulder injury, missing both the C1 final and significantly affecting the World Cup campaign.

Salah has been courted by many clubs, including Real Madrid and Barca, so there have been constant rumours of a move away. However, Liverpool can now breathe a sigh of relief, with Salah committing his long-term future to the Merseyside club.

Specifically, he signed a new 5-year contract, valid until 2023, and his salary was also increased: from 120,000 pounds/week to 200,000 pounds/week.

Jurgen Klopp said enthusiastically: "Salah's new signing shows two things very clearly: his belief in Liverpool and our belief in him".
