Mediawatch: Sun chooses *** over its own journalists



[ad_1]

The best scenario case
"Liverpool is considering a Champions League semifinal with Manchester United, its fierce rival" – The sun last page.

We bet they are screwed.

Company Messi
Of course, before Liverpool can face Manchester United "fierce rivals" rather than "much better team", Barcelona must defeat Porto and United must somehow defeat the leaders of La Liga, which means somehow stop Lionel Messi. Fortunately, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has an ace in his sleeve. Or at least according to Daily Mirror website:

"The advice of Sir Alex Ferguson to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on how to stop Lionel Messi."

Couple of things:

1) Did not Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United qualify for the two finals of the Champions League in Barcelona in 2009 and 2011? If Ferguson knew the key to stopping the best player in the world, he would have – you know – used?

2) Why does not he pbad on to Solskjaer himself this advice, which is probably rather useless instead of the Mirror?

Of course, since it is the Mirror, it is not at all "advice for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer", but "things written in a book" many years ago, when the idea that Solskjaer would one day be in charge of the Champions League Barcelona seemed infinitely more absurd than now. And it looks really absurd now.

On the Daily Star, they ask the question "Will Sir Alex Ferguson's six-year-old solution Lionel Meddi help Man Utd tonight?" We will be content with "no".

Elsewhere on the mirror, "Rio Ferdinand explains to Man Utd how to stop Lionel Messi in the Champions League", which is a bit rich from a player who was part of this United team that had been humiliated to twice in the final phase of the Champions League.

Magic numbers
MANCHESTER UNITED plans to propose a new contract to Marcus Rashford to dissuade the interests of Juventus and Real Madrid – and mitigate the frustrations of the striker.The 19 times champions of the English League want to double the salary of the young 21-year-old man at £ 150,000 a week, according to the Daily Star '- The sun, November 2018.

"MARCUS RASHFORD is about to sign a new exceptional contract at Manchester United that will allow him to double his salary … he will see the 21-year-old see his salary more than double to £ 200,000 a week, PLUS mark-ups and bonuses "- The sun, February 2019.

"MANCHESTER UNITED is set to trigger a 12-month extension of Marcus Rashford if talks on a new five-year deal continue … the club will then continue talks to get Rashford to sign a new five-year deal £ 180,000 per week – The sunMarch 2019.

"MANCHESTER UNITED star Marcus Rashford is about to sign a five-year contract at £ 150,000 a week, after positive discussions, according to reports" – The sun, March 2019.

"MARCUS RASHFORD is about to sign a new £ 300,000 a week contract with Manchester United, according to reports" – The sunApril 2019.

Well, man, it could bring in £ 500,000 a week by the summer.

Bottle work
"For Liverpool fans who think it will finally be their year, the disappointment is at the rendezvous … Supporters of Liverpool are fighting to be at the top of the league but, deep down, they know that their team is in the process of "Stifle … It 's almost like they were now giving the Spurs a real fight to win the crown of great English football jobs … Jurgen Klopp' s team has just turned out to be …" looks to be haunted by the ghosts of 2014, the former bad-up of the Liverpool title – Charlie Wyett, The sunFebruary.

"That tells you all you need to know about improving this team: they win games when it really counts after wobbling in February" – Charlie Wyett, The sunApril

And these two excerpts tell you everything you need to know about Charlie Wyett and The Sun.

Glory be
Tottenham beat Manchester City 1-0 on Tuesday night. It was an admirable result, but we can not help but think that John Cross of Daily Mirror it's a little carried away:

"A night of drama, regret and glory.

"And it's surely now in Tottenham to take advantage of Manchester City's dreams of a historic Quadruple hanging on a wire."

Hmmm. Manchester City has won its last 14 home games – and has conceded only three goals in 14 games. It is therefore likely that every bookmaker will advance after this Champions League game.

Suggest that a 1-0 lead at halftime constitutes a kind of "glory" just preparing Tottenham for failure. And surely an Arsenal fan would never do that …

The omen
Martin Samuel rightly writes in the Daily mail "The bookmakers are still the favorites of the city to progress, but then they write:

"Yet for those who believe in omens, there is one interesting: City has played five European matches against his English opponent in his history and has lost them all."

Of course, Manchester City's loss to Chelsea in the 1971 European Cup Winners' Cup semi-finals is very relevant here.

Long balls, short fuse
People to football.londres are baffled. We know this because they claim that Pep Guardiola made a "bewildering badessment of Tottenham's football style" when he mentioned the words "long ball" several times in his press conference.

Apparently, this description "will let Spurs fans scratch their heads". Well, only if they have never really seen Spurs play, which would be strange for Spurs fans.

Because the Spurs indeed play a lot of "long balls", according to the testimony of our eyes and also Opta, which record that the Spurs play as many long balls per match in the Premier League as Leicester and West Ham, and more than Crystal Palace. .

Newsflash: Pep was not wrong. And he had no noise.

Feces
The sun sent three people to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Tuesday night – the comedy Cockney Paul Jiggins, the chief reporter of the American football Neil Hyperbole Custis in the minutes of the match and the chief sports writer Dave Kidd, accused of to have written articles of impactful opinion.

So, what was the top of the homepage of Sun football Wednesday morning at 11am?

"The FANS are confident that a West Brom supporter" is being fooled "during the Baggies' 3-2 loss to Bristol City last night."

They literally chose *** on the thousands of words written by real journalists who went to a real match.

Which seems right.
