Willian may join Manchester United

Manchester United is about to make a quite sensational transfer and to enlist in its ranks the midfielder of Chelsea Willian during the summer transfer window, says ESPN.
Mourinho wants to attract at least four new players in the summer and the Brazilian midfielder is among the players who he targeted for his selection.
Although he scored ten goals this season in all tournaments, the involvement of Willian has not been constant at the team of Antonio Conte and it is believed that Chelsea might not make any obstacles in front of him in order to leave with a good offer.
He started in the starting lineup in only 13 games under the guidance of the Italian specialist.
Chelsea has attracted the footballer from a Russian team for the amount of 32 million pounds in the year 2013, and in January Chelsea rejected more than a solid offer from a Chinese club for him.

Zidane: `I am fully focused on our players!`

The coach of Real Madrid Zinedine Zidane refused to comment the information that Real Madrid is ready to pay the necessary amount for the rights of the soccer player of Alaves Theo Hernandez.
`Theo is a good player, but that is all. I am focused on what we need to do with my players, and nothing more.`, said Zidane. The expert said he did not question the merits of the goalkeeper Keylor Navas and he certainly will remain the team`s holder. He was not in the group in the 3:0 victory against Alaves, which led to a plethora of speculation about his future at the club. The Croatian midfielder Luka Modric was also closely followed after he was replaced six times in the last eight games analyzed by soccer-stats in that game.
`People are saying that Modric played bad. Rather, it concerns me than his performance on the field. Maybe he made some mistakes in the last game, but the players cannot give away at full speed during the whole 90 minutes.`, added the expert.
The central defender Raphael Varane got thigh injury on Sunday. He certainly will miss several of the subsequent meetings of the Whites. Zidane believes, however, that the injury of the footballer is not that serious.

Cech defended Alexis: `He did not enjoy the loss against Bayern.`

The Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech defended the striker Alexis Sanchez, who had been criticized for the smiles on the bench in the 1:5 loss against Bayern Munich last week.
`It was sad for all of us, including for him, because I saw him. We talked about how if we had scored the second goal things would be different against Bayern, but the conversation ended with a deep sigh. The reality is that you lose with 1:5 and in the end someone spins things and says you were laughing from the bench.`, said Cech.
`For me, it is disrespectful to the player. But you can interpret the picture as you want, unfortunately. We, the players know very well what he said and how much it hurts. He was disappointed like all of us. That is a manifestation of disrespect.`, Cech added.
