It might have got a bit tense towards the end, but Tottenham Hotspur put in a stellar performance against Manchester City last night.
Ange Postecoglou’s side went into the game with a lot to prove after their dismal display against Crystal Palace on the weekend and ended up booking their place in the quarter-finals of the League Cup.
There were stand-out performers front to back from the North Londoners, and while Timo Werner and Pape Matar Sarr have taken up a lot of the headlines, and rightly so, there was another star who was sensational during his time on the pitch.
Werner and Sarr's performances
Yes, when talking about the best Spurs players from last night, it would be crazy not to start with Werner and Sarr, as, after all, it’s thanks to their goals that the team will play Manchester United in the next round.
The German was the first to put the ball in the back of the net, doing so in just the eighth minute, and while he failed to add another to his tally, the former Chelsea man was a constant threat and, on another day, could have bagged himself a hat-trick.
In fact, had he not scored the opener, he would probably have been receiving pelters from the fans today, as during his 69 minutes of action, he took four shots and missed a big chance in the 15th minute.
Still, overall, it was an excellent shift from the 28-year-old, and he received a fully deserved 8/10 match rating from LondonWorld’s Rahman Osman at full-time.
Fellow goalscorer Sarr received a slightly lower rating of 7/10 from Osman, and while that might sound a little harsh, it’s probably fair, as aside from getting on the scoresheet, which ultimately proved vital, the young midfielder didn’t do a lot else.
Now, that doesn’t mean he was bad either, far from it, but his only other stand-out statistic from his 49 minutes of football was his 100% passing accuracy, and thanks to the player who replaced him at halftime, his presence wasn’t really missed in the second 45.
Yves Bissouma's performance in numbers
Yes, the Spurs star who was at least as good, if not better, than Werner and Sarr was Yves Bissouma.
The Mali international replaced the young Senegalese star at half-time and proceeded to put in a monstrous performance at the heart of midfield, helping out in attack here and there but, most importantly, giving everything he had to ensure City couldn’t get a second goal and draw level.
For example, in the dying embers of the game, it felt more and more likely that Pep Guardiola’s men would finally break through, and at one point, it looked like they had, only for the 28-year-old to stick out his leg and block a shot on the line from Nico O’Reilly that had everyone else beat.
Unsurprisingly, Osman reserved his highest rating on the night for the former Brighton & Hove Albion ace, giving him a 9/10, and based on some of his statistics from the game, it’s easy to see why.
In just 51 minutes of action, he maintained a passing accuracy of 92%, completed a long ball, lost the ball just a single time, blocked a shot, made two interceptions, one tackle, committed two fouls and made that dramatic clearance off the line.

Ultimately, Werner and Sarr deserve plenty of credit for scoring the goals last night, but Spurs came out of that second half without conceding a second goal, primarily thanks to the sensational efforts of Bissouma.

O técnico Sylvinho teve dois grandes problemas para escalar o Corinthians para o clássico contra o Santos, nesta quarta-feira (2), às 21h35, na Neo Química Arena, pela terceira rodada do Campeonato Paulista. Com as ausências do goleiro Cássio, diagnosticado com Covid-19, e do meia-atacante Willian, em processo de controle de carga, o técnico Sylvinho optou por escalar os garotos Matheus Donelli e Gabriel Pereira como titulares.

Na meta, existia uma dúvida se Ivan poderia fazer a sua estreia, já que vem treinando com o elenco corintiano há alguns dias, foi anunciado oficialmente na última segunda-feira (31) e inscrito no Paulistão na véspera do Clássico Alvinegro. O atleta não joga desde novembro, mas a tendência é que ele seja o reserva imediato do gol corintiano.

Por sua vez, Donelli, que é o titular nesta noite, pode até mesmo estar de saída, pois, desde que Ivan se aproximou de fechar com o Timão, o estafe de Matheus tem procurado um novo clube para o jovem, de 19 anos.
Já no setor ofensivo, GP venceu a disputa com Gustavo Mosquito para a ponta. A tendência é que ele atue pelo lado direito, como Willian, que está fora. Mas ele pode revezar o posicionamento com Róger Guedes durante a partida.
Na vitória contra o SantoAndré, no último domingo (30), Gabriel Pereira e Mosquito atuaram juntos, mas Renato Augusto, que está fora, por conta do controle de carga, não jogou. Com a volta de Renato, Gabriel, que jogou no meio-campo contra o Ramalhão, vai para a ponta, e Mosquito, perdeu a vaga como titular.
O volante Gabriel está no banco de reservas, mesmo estando em negociação para defender o Internacional.
A escalação inicial do Corinthians para enfrentar o Santos, neste quarta-feira (2) é: Matheus Donelli; Fagner, Gil, João Victor e Lucas Piton; Du Queiroz; Gabriel Pereira, Renato Augusto, Giuliano e Róger Guedes; Gustavo Mantuan.
No banco de reservas, as opções do técnico Sylvinho são: Carlos Miguel, como goleiro; João Pedro e Fábio Santos nas laterais; Raul Gustavo para a zaga; Gabriel, Xavier, Paulinho, Roni e Luan no meio-campo; Gustavo Mosquito, Adson e Jô para o ataque.
Além de Cássio e Willian, o lateral-esquerdo Bruno Melo, liberado para resolver problemas particulares, o volante Cantillo, que retorna da seleção colombiana, e o meia Ruan Oliveira, se recuperando de lesão no joelho esquerdo, são desfalques.
“To be out here and pick up four wickets on the first day is pretty special, but at the same time the job is only half done.”

Vettori: Ajaz built pressure with his accuracy, consistency and fields
Left-arm spinners of Indian origin playing against India at the Wankhede Stadium has tended not to end well for the hosts. Monty Panesar has been part of two Test wins with England, in 2005-06 and 2012-13. And through the first session, New Zealand’s Ajaz Patel, bowing in Mumbai, might just have given them a flashback of bad memories. At one point his figures read 12-7-14-3, which included the wickets of Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara for ducks.”Pretty cool,” Ajaz said of his day’s work. “This is what dreams are made of. To be out here and pick up four wickets on the first day is pretty special. At the same time the job is only half done. So we have got to make sure we turn up tomorrow and really work hard for the last six wickets.”Related

However, Ajaz enjoyed little support from the other end, with the other two spinners going for 66 runs in their 12 overs on a surface that the ball turned from the middle of the pitch on day one. One of them, Rachin Ravindra, was unwell while Ajaz had words of support for others too.”Everyone was out there working hard and poor old Rachin came down with a bug this morning,” Ajaz said. “He fought his way out there throughout the day. It is pretty impressive form the young man to be able to stick it out. It really shows his character. Tomorrow is a new day. We start fresh, and we go again. It is just about bowling in partnerships. I am sure we will turn up tomorrow.”Watch live cricket on ESPN+ in the US
India vs New Zealand is available in the US on ESPN+. You can subscribe to ESPN+ and tune in to highlights of day one of the 2nd Test in English or in Hindi.
India ended the day 221 for 4 having been 80 for 3 at one point, which has already given India a handy advantage in this Test. Ajaz said New Zealand will need long periods of good bowling to claw their way back into the Test.”Test cricket is really about keeping it simple and consistently hitting good areas over a long period of time and challenging the batsmen over a long period,” Ajaz said. “Tomorrow’s game plan is very simple. Try and restrict them as much as possible. Bowl a lot of good balls. Force them to hit good balls as opposed to allowing them to hurt us with the bad ones. We just need to make sure we are consistent and in good areas for long periods of time.”There is definitely assistance out there for spin bowling. And we have got more bounce than we had in Kanpur. So as a spinner you still want to bowl and work hard and put it in the good area for a long time. It is really about keeping the game plan really simple and using the wicket as much as possible.”
Potentially dealing a top European club a frustrating blow, Newcastle United could soon reach one midfielder’s price tag to reinforce Eddie Howe’s options at the heart of his side in 2025.
Newcastle transfer news
It’s no real surprise that Newcastle have found themselves in the transfer headlines as of late. After all, their squad has been in desperate need of reinforcements for the last year or so, especially since Paul Mitchell and the rest of his recruitment team failed to get certain deals over the line in the summer transfer window.
The likes of Marc Guehi, for example, ended the transfer window at Crystal Palace rather than handing Howe a much-needed central defender, with Newcastle paying the price ever since.
Another "brilliant" Newcastle ace to miss several games after injury update
The Magpies’ list of absentees continues to grow…
ByTom Cunningham Nov 14, 2024
Since then, the rumours have been coming thick and fast, from Bryan Mbeumo all the way to Victor Osimhen in two deals that would undoubtedly take those at St James’ Park up a level or two. Osimhen would be a particularly impressive arrival given his reputation and previous links with Chelsea before he was forced to settle for what has been a successful loan spell away from Napoli at Galatasaray.
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen
It’s not just attacking reinforcements that the Magpies are reportedly looking at, however. According to Caught Offside, Newcastle have been scouting Kenneth Taylor all season and despite how keen Ajax are to keep their midfielder, would likely make the Dutch giants cave of they offer a fee of €35m (£29m) in 2025.
Newcastle aren’t the only side interested, however with Arsenal also reportedly keeping tabs on the 22-year-old ahead of making potential improvements of their own next year. In a battle against a Premier League rival, Mitchell would be making quite the statement by securing Taylor’s signature and completing Newcastle’s midfield once and for all.
Ajax have built a reputation for producing some of the world’s best players, with many landing in the Premier League. Now, Taylor could follow suit.
"Superb" Taylor could partner Guimaraes
Whilst there may be some concern about Guimaraes’ long-term Newcastle future if they fail to qualify for European football, the arrival of Taylor would quickly form a partnership capable of turning things around for the Magpies.

Next to Sandro Tonali and Newcastle’s fan favourite Brazilian duo, the Ajax star may well prove the praise of Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig right, who dubbed the midfielder “another superb product” of the Ajax academy. Unlike last summer, however, Newcastle will need to splash the cash if they want to lure Taylor away from the Dutch giants, who will only cave if their price tag is met, which would leave Howe with four excellent midfield options.
Keeping hold of Guimaraes should be seen as the ultimate priority for Newcastle, before they then add players of Taylor’s quality around the Brazilian once again next summer.
Tendo disputado até agora três partidas pelo Campeonato Paulista e sem nenhuma vitória, Rogério Ceni optou por um rodízio de jogadores no elenco do São Paulo. Até o momento, 24 nomes foram testados. Dessa lista, Gabriel Sara, Rigoni e Alisson foram os únicos jogadores titulares em todas as rodadas dessa temporada.

Gabriel Sara foi o atleta com mais tempo em campo. Ao todo, o meia atuou por 280 minutos. Alisson vem em segundo lugar, com 264 minutos, sendo o reforço que mais jogou até agora, e Rigoni com 233 minutos.
Alisson, por sua vez, segue se destacando bastante no Tricolor. Nos dois primeiros jogos, contra o Guarani e o Ituano, respectivamente, o camisa 12 ocupou a posição de meia, enquanto contra o Red Bull Bragantino, chegou pelo ataque, no lado direito.
Além disso, Alisson soma uma média de 27 passes certos por jogo, isto é, cerca de 82% de acerto. Também foi autor de um gol, no último jogo disputado pelo São Paulo, contra o Red Bull Bragantino.

Esses dados ilustram uma confiança maior que o novo reforço ganhou de Rogério Ceni, uma vez que em pouco tempo vestindo a camisa do clube, já atua como titular. Outro ponto que também torna Alisson como um dos grandes destaques é sua polivalência, já que até o momento, o jogador conseguiu atuar tanto como meio de campo, quanto como atacante.
Na coletiva de imprensa, após o jogo de estreia no Paulistão contra o Guarani, o técnico do Tricolor destacou a importância dos reforços pelo lado direito, citando Alisson.
– O lado direito, principalmente com Nikão, Rafinha e Alisson, funcionou bastante, construímos a maioria das nossas jogadas por esse lado – disse o treinador.
No começo do torneio, Rogério Ceni já havia prometido que faria esse rodízio de jogadores no elenco, a fim de testar e preservar alguns atletas. Com o bom desempenho de Gabriel Sara, Alisson e Rigoni, os três tem grandes chances de permanecerem na escalação titular da próxima rodada.
Com duas derrotas e um empate, São Paulo busca sair da zona de rebaixamento do Paulista. O Tricolor Paulista enfrenta o Santo André na próxima quarta-feira (08), às 19h, no Morumbi.
تحدث دييجو سيميوني مدرب أتلتيكو مدريد، عقب مباراة فريقه أمام إسبانيول في منافسات بطولة الدوري الإسباني.
وفرض إسبانيول التعادل الإيجابي على أتلتيكو مدريد بهدف لمثله، في إطار مباريات الجولة التاسعة والعشرين للدوري الإسباني.
وقال سيميوني في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية: “نافسنا بشكل جيد في الشوط الأول، وسيطرنا على المباراة دفاعيًا، وكانت فرص التسجيل القليلة من نصيبنا”.
وأضاف: “أعتقد أننا تمكنا من السيطرة حتى الدقيقة 15 من الشوط الثاني، عندما كان بإمكاننا إلحاق ضرر أكبر بالخصم عند النتيجة 1-0، لم نفعل، وجاءت ركلة الجزاء، مما زاد من صعوبة المباراة علينا مع حماس الخصم، كانت مباراة هادئة، لكن التعادل كان عادلاً”.
وعما كان يفتقده الفريق، أوضح: “لم نتمكن من منح الفريق تلك الطمأنينة التي كانت لدينا في مباريات أخرى، ومن خلال مواقف معينة خرجت المباراة من يدنا”.
وعما إذا كان أتلتيكو مدريد خرج من السباق على لقب الدوري الإسباني، أفاد: “دائمًا ما أقول إن الدوري يُحسم في آخر خمس جولات، والفِرق التي ستكون أقرب ستتنافس على اللقب، يريدون معرفة من سيتنافس في الجولة السادسة، ولكن حتى النهاية لن يُعرف”.
ويستعد أتلتيكو مدريد لمواجهة برشلونة يوم الأربعاء في إياب نصف نهائي كأس ملك إسبانيا، وسُئل سيميوني عن النكسات القوية التي تعرض لها الفريق، وعما إذا كانت مواجهة البارسا حاسمة في موسم أتلتيكو.
وعلّق: “أمام برشلونة (في الذهاب) تقدمنا بهدفين، واجهنا خصمًا قويًا سجل أربعة أهداف في وقت قصير، عندما تتراجع قليلاً فإنهم لا يسامحونك وهذا يؤلمنا، وفي دوري الأبطال لم نكن سيئين، قدمنا دوري أبطال جيد”.
وأكمل: “فزنا على أرضنا ثم جاء قرار الحكم، وحسم يويفا الأمر وجعلنا نُستبعد بسبب ما يُفترض أنه خطأ من جوليان ألفاريز (ضربة الجزاء أمام ريال مدريد) لا أعتبر ذلك نكسة”.
وأتم: “واليوم، كما قلت، سيطرنا على المباراة لمدة 70 دقيقة ولم يحدث شيء، ثم جاءت ركلة الجزاء التي أعادتنا إلى نقطة البداية”.
Medindo forças em partida válida pela 1ª rodada da Copa do Nordeste, Botafogo-PB e Sergipe entraram em campo na noite desta quarta-feira, no estádio Almeidão, em Campina Grande.

Com o resultado, a equipe comandada por Gerson Gusmão chegou aos 11 pontos, pulando para a terceira colocação do Grupo B, enquanto o time comandado por Daniel Neri, por conta do tropeço fora de casa, acabou estacionando na lanterna com apenas um ponto, porém do Grupo A.

BOM INÍCIO DO BOTAFOGO QUE ABRE A CONTAGEM
Fazendo valer o fator casa, a equipe do Botafogo, buscando uma vaga entre os líderes de seu grupo, tratou de ir para cima do Sergipe na expectativa de abrir a contagem nos primeiros movimentos. Entretanto, até os 12 minutos, apesar de ficar mais com a posse de bola, criou apenas uma chance com Nicolas, mas sem sucesso na investida.
Até que aos 14, o Belo finalmente conseguiu tirar o zero do marcador. Após penalidade marcada sobre Adilson Bahia, ao ser derrubado por Ewerthon Ageu na área, o próprio cobrou e, sem chances para o goleiro Kennedy, marcou o primeiro.
SERGIPE SE COMPLICA APÓS O GOL SOFRIDO
Buscando o empate na sequência, a equipe visitante ainda teve uma baixa momentos depois. Após uma falta dura em Erick, Elivelton acabou sendo expulso o que gerou muita reclamação contra o árbitro. Com isso, os mandantes, aproveitando o momento, passaram a pressionar o adversário na expectativa de aumentar a vantagem.
Apesar disso, poucas foram as chances criadas pelo Belo, já que o sistema defensivo do Gipão mostrava-se atento a qualquer investida rival segurando o empate sem gols até o término da etapa.
BELO AUMENTA O PLACAR
Buscando resolver a situação logo no início do segundo tempo, o técnico Daniel Gusmão então promoveu duas trocas no intervalo. E se deu bem. Ganhando ofensividade, aos 9 minutos, Anderson Paraíba, após dominar a bola, mandou uma bomba no ângulo do goleiro Kennedy fazendo 2 a 0.
EQUIPE MANDANTE FECHA A CONTA
Além da vantagem numérica em campo, o Botafogo pouco permitia que o Sergipe conseguisse chegar ao seu campo de ataque. Com mais algumas trocas, desta vez por ambos os lados, o Belo marcou mais um, outra vez de pênalti, desta vez sofrido Gabriel Rangel após ser puxado por Gilmar. Na cobrança, Adilson Bahia, que já havia deixado o dele, balançou novamente a rede rival, segurando o resultado até o apito final do árbitro.

ظهر مدرب ريال مدريد، كارلو أنشيلوتي في مؤتمر صحفي اليوم الجمعة، للحديث قبل مباراة فريقه أمام فالنسيا.
ويلاقي ريال مدريد نظيره فالنسيا، غدًا السبت في مواجهة ضمن مباريات الجولة الثلاثين لبطولة الدوري الإسباني.
وافتتح أنشيلوتي مؤتمره الصحفي عن مواجهة فالنسيا قائلاً: “نحن بخير، مع بعض الشكوك، ستكون المباراة صعبة، لأن فالنسيا يُبلي بلاءً حسنًا”.
وانتقل للحديث عن اصرار رابطة الليجا على عدم قانونية تسجيل برشلونة للاعبيه داني أولمو وباو فيكتور، رغم قرار المجلس الأعلى للرياضة بصحة الأمر، وأفاد: “هذا السؤال ليس لي، هناك حرية رأي؛ إذا لم يرغب أحد في التحدث، فهذا أمر جيد، لا أعتقد أن هناك أي تلاعب بالمنافسة”.
وبشأن مركز حراسة المرمى مع إصابة كورتوا ولونين، أوضح: “لا داعي للقلق، كورتوا قادر على اللعب يوم الثلاثاء (أمام آرسنال)، لونين سيحاول، لدينا ثقة تامة بفران، إنه شاب، ونحن على ثقة بمستقبله”.
وعن العقوبات المحتملة على لاعبي ريال مدريد من الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم بسبب شكوى أتلتيكو مدريد، (طالع التفاصيل) علّق: “نحن ننتظر فقط، لا أعتقد أن شيئًا سيحدث”.

وبشأن مواجهة برشلونة بنهائي كأس ملك إسبانيا، رد أنشيلوتي: “في إشبيلية سأشرح لك كيف سنتعامل مع الأمر”.
وسُئل مجددًا عن برشلونة، وأجاب مدرب ريال مدريد: “أعتقد أننا نحترم بعضنا البعض كثيرًا”.
وفيما يتعلق بمستقبله مع ريال مدريد، أوضح أنشيلوتي: “لن أكون أبدًا الشخص الذي يقول إنني سأغادر مدريد”.
وبشأن إمكانية منح لاعبه جود بيلينجهام راحة في مباراة الغد، استرسل: “إنه خيار محتمل، لكنه يتعافى بشكل جيد”.
وعن جولر وإندريك، أفاد: “قد يكونا خيارات، لقد أثبتا قدرتهما على المساعدة”.
وحول المنافسة في بطولة الدوري الإسباني، أشار: “علينا أن نكون متفائلين، يمكننا الفوز بكل ما تبقى”.
وواصل: “لقد تحسّن أداؤنا كفريق، هذه ليست أخطاء فردية، لعب ألابا جيدًا ضد ريال سوسيداد، لكنه لم يحالفه الحظ، لم نستحق استقبال أربعة أهداف، وكنا نستحق تسجيل المزيد، لقد تغيّرنا؛ أصبحنا أكثر قوة مع مبابي، ونعاني أكثر في الدفاع، نحن نعلم ذلك”.
Glasgow Rangers’ success in the transfer window has been minimal over the previous few years, with only a couple of signings truly proving to be a hit among the Ibrox support.
Allowing Michael Beale free rein with a decent-sized budget could haunt the club for the next few years, as millions were spent on Sam Lammers and Cyriel Dessers, with both players looking short of the quality required to fire the Gers to a Premiership title.
Cyriel Dessers
Philippe Clement appeared to be going down a different route this summer, looking ahead to the future by signing a host of talented youngsters who could potentially make the club a serious profit in the next few years.
This is a system that Celtic have enjoyed plenty of success with in recent years. Indeed, players such as Matt O’Riley, Moussa Dembélé, Kristoffer Ajer and Jota all joined for relatively small fees, before raking in fortunes for the club.
By following a system like this, if a player succeeds in Glasgow, he will have plenty of suitors, especially from down south, thus making millions for the club in the process.
Jota is the best example of this, as he shone during his time at Celtic, especially during Old Firm matches…
Jota's success at Celtic
The winger was signed by Celtic from Benfica in the summer of 2021 on an initial loan deal, before this was made permanent ahead of the following campaign.
During his two seasons in Glasgow, the Portuguese gem scored 28 goals and grabbed 26 assists in all competitions, which included being the scourge of Rangers on numerous occasions.
He scored four goals and recorded an assist in ten games against the Light Blues, and it was clear if the Ibrox side were to re-establish their dominance in Scotland, signing a player like Jota was how they could go about it.
He ended up moving to the Middle East in a deal worth around £25m, joining Al Ittihad and the move allowed Celtic to make a stunning profit on the winger.
Despite losing someone of his talent, they have replaced him well, which is something Rangers have struggled with over the years.
Former Celtic forward Jota
Could the Ibrox side have had their own version of Jota a few years previously, however? As one former manager made what looked like a few exciting signings dur
Pedro Caixinha’s Rangers signings
It wouldn’t be entirely fair to say that every single one of Pedro Caixinha’s signings at Rangers were flops. Ryan Jack and Alfredo Morelos buck that trend, with both players enjoying success at the Gers during their respective stints with the club, winning the Premiership title and the Scottish Cup.
The less said about the rest, the better, that’s for sure. Money was spent on Eduardo Herrera and Carlos Pena, who scored a grand total of seven goals between them all season.
Elsewhere, Fabio Cardoso arrived, along with Bruno Alves and Graham Dorrans. On the surface, they all looked like solid signings, but the reality was rather different.
One youngster who joined up with the club on a season-long loan was Dalcio, who – like the aforementioned Jota at Parkhead – made the temporary switch from Benfica.

Given their reputation for producing quality talents from their academy, it looked like Caixinha had landed a massive coup.
Unfortunately, his spell turned out to be a waste of time for all involved.
Dalcio’s Rangers statistics
Speaking on his arrival, the winger said: “What attracted me was the history of the club, the size of the club, and mainly, the supporters – the amazing fans the club has.
“The gaffer was a real influence on me too. I know he is really competitive and ambitious, and that was the reasons I wanted to join him.”
Prior to joining Rangers, Dalcio made 50 appearances for Benfica B, scoring twice and registering six assists, and it looked like he could offer something different, especially from the bench.
He started the game against Progres Niederkorn as the club secured a 1-0 victory, before being brought on at halftime during the second leg, which the Gers went on to lose, being knocked out of Europe before the domestic season had even begun.
A one-minute cameo against Hamilton in September proved to be his only other appearance for the Glasgow side, finally leaving in May 2018 after his unsuccessful loan spell.
He had the potential to showcase his talents in Scotland – much like Jota later did – and perhaps secure a permanent deal, yet his signing was arguably one of the worst in the club’s recent history, for that there is no doubt.
What Dalcio did after leaving Rangers
The 28-year-old found some success in Greece, making 67 appearances for Panetolikos before moving to Cyprus, where he shone for APOEL Nicosia, scoring seven goals and grabbing ten assists for the club and this secured him a move to Red Star Belgrade.
First Impressions
What did pundits and fans alike think about their new star signing when they arrived? Football FanCast's 'First Impressions' series has everything you need.
Remarkably, Dalcio has played in the Champions League qualifiers for his new side, making 15 appearances in all competitions for the Serbian outfit.
It’s fair to say he didn’t kick on during his time in Glasgow. Whether it was pressure, or the lack of match fitness, the winger struggled to make an impression, and it was clear he wasn’t quite ready for senior football.
Over the previous few years, he has improved and his move to Red Star is evidence of this. The former Benfica youngster could have been Rangers’ very own Jota-type figure during his loan spell, yet he was just another poor signing made by Caixinha.
Some players blossom later on in their careers and this appears to be exactly what Dalcio is doing. Aged just 28, he still has a few more years left to shine at the highest level.
