2:43pm, 16 October 2025Football
Merino + Zubimendi:
Spain defeated Bulgaria 4-0 in the World Cup preliminaries. Merino started the game and scored twice with a header! In this case, Merino has scored 6 goals in 4 World Cup qualifying games! Zubimendi also started this game and played 62 minutes. Raya did not play as a substitute.
Eze + Saka + Rice + Skelly:
England defeated Latvia 5-0 in an away game and qualified for next year's World Cup ahead of schedule. In this campaign, Eze came on as a substitute in the 60th minute and scored the team's fifth goal, which was also his second national team goal; Saka started the game for 60 minutes and provided 1 assist; Rice also started for 60 minutes; Skelly started and played the entire game.
Calafioli:
Italy defeated Israel 3-0. Calafioli started the game and helped the team get a clean sheet.
Martinelli:
Brazil suffered a 3-goal comeback from Japan when leading 2-0 in the friendly match. Martinelli started the game for 57 minutes and scored 1 goal, but this was not enough to help Brazil win. Gabriel did not play as a substitute.
Mosquera:
Spain defeated Finland 2-1 in the U21 European Youth Championship qualifiers. Mosquera started the game and played the entire game.
Trossard:
Belgium defeated Wales 4-2 in an away game. Trossard started the game and scored the team's 4th goal!
Saliba:
France drew with Iceland 2-2 in the World Cup preliminaries. Saliba started and played the entire game.
Dzekeresh:
Sweden lost 0-1 at home to Kosovo, and Dzekelesh played the entire game. Sweden was therefore determined not to qualify for the World Cup.
There are really a lot of competitions. Frankly speaking, I haven’t watched the live broadcast and can’t comment, so I just watched the highlights.
Merino simply plays center. He is so efficient. Even in the national team, his shots and headers in the penalty area are quite accurate. Maybe the most suitable position for him is center or pseudo-center, which is better than playing in midfield! 6 goals in 4 World Cup qualifying games, Spain finally has a striker!
England is now inseparable from Arsenal. As far as these games are concerned, the Gunners have made contributions in every game, either scoring goals or assisting! Eze finally got a chance in this game, and soon after he came on the field, he used his personal ability to cut in from the left and scored. Saka also provided an assist for Kane. Fortunately, he and Rice only played for 60 minutes...
England has qualified, use a substitute next time! It’s time to train new people!
Martin Jr. had a rare chance to start in a friendly match, and he continued his recent efficient performance. He countered offside on the left side of the penalty area and received a pass from Paqueta and then volleyed with his left foot and scored! Martin is in good form recently. Let's continue to use him again when he returns to the league!
Saliba and Dzekeresh have played too many games recently, especially Deschamps, who has no concept of rotating the core. They will not stop until they are injured...France should advance to the next round quickly, Deschamps trains the new players.
As for Zhekai, Sweden's performance in the world preliminaries was a mess. Currently, it is only theoretically possible to advance through the play-offs. It is very likely that Zhekai will really miss the World Cup next year...
In addition, when it comes to Zhekai, I see many friends are struggling with his translation. In fact, I called him "Jokeres" at the beginning, but after the reminder of the gun fans, I changed it to Zhekelesh. The more common translation at present is Jokereis.
To be honest, I don’t worry about which translation is correct. I don’t know the Hungarian pronunciation or the Swedish pronunciation. I think the key is that gun fans know who he is. You can say it smoothly or type it how you like. It doesn’t matter. We just know who he is. Zhe Kai is currently translated by Xinhua News Agency, so I won’t change it.
In fact, if you really want to be precise, just pronounce his original name and write his name Gyökeres. This is absolutely correct. You can't pronounce the correct pronunciation in Chinese, so why bother... The most important meaning of language is communication, as long as it is barrier-free.
Mosquera recently accepted an interview with TA. The central defender spoke highly of his teammate Dauman and said that he can become a "world-class player" in the future.
Mosquera said: "I don't mean to compare, but Dauman's style and game characteristics are really similar to Yamal. The two are exactly the same.
I didn't know Dauman at all before. When I arrived in Singapore to report, Dauman was already training and playing with the team. When they told me that he was only 15 years old, I couldn't believe it. Dauman is really an incredible player. I believe he will grow into a world-class player."
Dauman really doesn't look like a teenager at all. Mosquera was very honest. In addition to Arsenal fans, several people had heard of Dauman before the summer and watched him play. To be honest, I was also surprised by his first appearance in the preseason this summer. I had never watched his game live before. This kid is really too strong!
I think no one objects. If Dauman develops smoothly, he will definitely be a world-class player in the future. If he has this potential, it depends on how Arteta develops him. Comparing his age, Daoman is really not inferior to Yamal when he debuted!
Of course, we must be down-to-earth and take step by step. Come on! Mosquera, don’t just talk about others, you are also a world-class prospect, let’s work hard together!
TalkSPORT Editor-in-Chief AC News: The contract between Semayo and Bournemouth does not contain any liquidated damages clause, and the terms of the contract are confidential. However, it is reported that Bournemouth values Semayo at more than 75 million pounds..
I see that many gun fans are discussing the possibility of acquiring Semayo recently, but the problem is that there is no reliable news linking him to Arsenal... And Arsenal is not actually mentioned here...
Of course, buying is not impossible. Next year, Trossard and Martin are likely to have at least one of them.
But firstly, there are no relevant rumors at all. Secondly, Semayo actually often plays on the right wing. Thirdly, he has just renewed his contract. The contract expires in 2030, which is definitely not cheap. Fourthly, he will be 26 years old next summer... It depends on how you think about it.
We’ll talk about it when the time comes, there’s no news at the moment. I 100% won’t buy it in winter.
The key to next summer is whether you want to buy it or not. In fact, I believe that gun fans all know now that there is no one we cannot afford...it just depends on whether we want to buy it or not.
According to Bild News, Arsenal and Manchester City have also joined Real Madrid and Milan in the competition for Nathaniel Brown, but Frankfurt's asking price for the left back is at least 60 million euros.
The 22-year-old Brown has contributed 1 goal and 1 assist in 6 Bundesliga games this season. The full-back's ability to play a guest role in the left midfield is considered to be very suitable for Arsenal's style of play.
Just take a look at it for the time being. Arsenal's left back is already at a good level, so it's impossible to buy him, not to mention Incapie. Besides, I won’t be able to pay out 60 million, there is no way.
