Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hit out at a question with respect to the new flood in injured players who will miss the World Cup and says it was a no doubt unsurprising issue that ought to have been tended to significantly earlier.

The list of players that will miss the tournament in Qatar – which begins in just over two weeks’ time – seems to grow after each round of fixtures, with the likes of Timo Werner, N’Golo Kante, Paul Pogba and Ben Chilwell all recently ruled out.

Liverpool’s own Diogo Jota will not be part of Portugal’s squad due to a calf problem, while even relatively minor injuries are throwing players’ participation into doubt due to the quick turnaround between domestic campaigns ending and the World Cup starting.

Klopp has been critical of the scheduling in the past and became seriously irked when the subject was raised at his pre-match press conference on Friday before facing Tottenham at the weekend. Free signup bonus codes.

The question seemed innocent enough, with the reporter beginning: “Obviously it’s two weeks until the start of the World Cup and there’s a growing number of players now either out of the World Cup or a doubt…”

But Klopp did not want to engage with the question, shaking his head and interrupting: “I don’t like [this question], I hate this subject.”

Changing the question slightly, the reporter then asked if there was anything Klopp can do to balance the demands on his players, to which the German said ‘no’ three times before begrudgingly expanding on his answer.

“These problems were so clear,’ said the Liverpool boss. ‘They were so clear and nobody mentioned it for one time until three or four weeks before the World Cup.

“Now all of a sudden a player gets injured and you say, “Oh, they cannot play the World Cup”.

“So this specific problem, that players who were late injured in a season cannot play the World Cup, is not new. So after a long season it happens everywhere in the world.

“But now, starting the World Cup a week after the last game, “Oh, that’s a bigger risk”. Crazy. Nobody cares about us, how we deal with it.

“And you, you ask me now the question and if I give you all the answers and these kind of things. What do you think I should do? Ask the players before Southampton – or before Derby [in the Carabao Cup] – “Wanna play?”

“What’s the situation? Asking a question is one, but we are all guilty – and you more than I am guilty – for letting it happen. Letting it happen in the first place.

“And now it’s happened, and now we have the situation and that’s it and we have to go along with it. And for the players who get injured and cannot play it is a disaster, but how can we change that now?”

With Erik Ten Hag taking over Manchester United are firm favourites for 2022/23 major trophies? This is the question fans are asking about the current rumour of Erik Ten Hag the manager of Ajax to take over Manchester United. Unsurprisingly they are already odds on favorites to regain the top four. while most betting sites are supporting former EPL champions to make it into 2022/23 Champions League. Premier League betting is available on the best football betting in Nigeria.

In our today’s article will analyze all you need to know about this update and the effects of the previous development. So if you are a Manchester United fan keep reading and make sure to drop a comment “Red all the way” in the comments section.

Condition of Manchester United in this season

Manchester United have not been performing as fans expected this season even after they signed the thirty six year old portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus.  The club officials has actually made the announcement on Friday 03 September, 2021 that they have made an agreement with the Serie A giant to sign him for £12.9m which also includes further £6.9m in add-ons to the star.

With the last summer transfers, It was expected of Man Utd to perform way than they are actually doing presently under the manager Ralph Rangnick, they are currently on the sixth position with 50 points in Premier league, and to worsen the record they were recently knocked out Champions League by Atletico Madrid and this season so far they’ve scored a total of 48 goals and conceded 40.

The shameful 4-1 defeat to local rival Manchester City decreased their probability of making it out for next season Champions League,  though Cristiano Ronaldo was ruled out for the game due to a minor injury but many people believed he was intentionally dropped out of the XI who was going to face City but reasons best known to them.

Ronaldo has scored 118 goals in 292 appearances for Manchester United from the year 2003 and 2009, and has won three Premier League titles for the Club which includes the Champions League, two League Cups and the FA Cup respectively. So what’s the problem in his return now? Is it that he is now old or he don’t have passion for the club anymore? But I don’t think he don’t have passion.

“Manchester United is a club that has always had a special place in my heart, and I have been overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since the announcement on Friday,” Cristiano Ronaldo said after signing for United.

Ralf Rangnick’s error?

The interim boss Ralf Rangnick who replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer  at Manchester United Novembr 2021 has actually been doing his best from then till date, he has coached in 20 matches so far won 9 games, draw 7 games and lose 4 games, with this I can actually give him a pass mark of 50% in United so far, this is my rating though not official rating. 

This Man Ralf Rangnick is believed to be the brain behind the sudden rise in Leipzig performance last season. That with his knowledge and expertise he was able to build players like Naby Keita, Timo Werner and Emil Forsberg. So what is currently happening in his tenure at Manchester United even with the presence of the world class player Cristiano Ronaldo? With the speculations on Erik ten Hag, will he make a better changes? Let’s check out what this manager is made of.

What you need to know about Man Utd new boss Erik Ten Hag

The 52 year old manager Erik Ten Hag who has had a total of 29 years experience as a coach, and was appointed by Ajax as their manager on the 28 of December 2017 and is expected to be in charge till June 30, 2023.

In Ajax club within  2021/22 season so far he has been present in 40 matches,  won 31 games, draw 4 games and lose 5 games. I think this is currently a better statistics performance than Man Utd section Ralf Rangnick, I will give him a rating of 90% what is your rating tho? drop it in the comments section.

Last week Erik ten Hag was called and interviewed which he was added to  Manchester United shortlist with other  candidates that is made up of Mauricio Pochettino, Luis Enrique and Julen Lopetegui. But currently Erik Ten Hag is reportedly Manchester United favourite.

According to the Telegraph, the Ajax coach has held an interview with Manchester United over the vacant manager United over the vacant manager’s job which means hopefully everything gets done shortly.

Other Managers Man Utd can possibly sign

When talking about new managers to sign Zinedine Zidane is a top choice because this man is well experienced coach which is what Manchester United needed currently. And having a familiar player like Cristiano Ronaldo currently in the club I think his presence will be great. And since he is free now I think he will be interested though it was rumoured he had interest in PSG.

Another manager apart from Erik Ten Hag in Manchester United should be Argentine coach  Mauricio Pochettino currently at PSG is known to be Man Utd favourite that should have taking the contract about 12 months ago.

Numerous NBA and basketball players throughout the world choose to go bald, whether it’s due to genetics, individual preference, or simple comfort. Many of the best basketball players in history have had their heads shaved, despite the lack of scientific proof linking baldness to success.

Even though there is no treatment for baldness, NBA and basketball players have shaved their hair since the game’s inception. And if you’re wondering which NBA players who had or currently play with shaved heads or are bald.

1. Lebron James

Lebron James’ baldness has grown to be one of the NBA’s more well-known balding examples.

Since Lebron is unquestionably one of the most well-known basketball players of all time, fans couldn’t help but notice when his hairline started to recede.

James’ thinning hairline has appeared to improve recently, leading some to wonder if he had hair transplants.

2. Gary Payton

Let’s move on to a real and well-known bald superstar, who is arguably best remembered for his time spent playing with the Seattle Supersonics.

The point guard, often known as “The Glove,” is regarded as one of the best defenders of all time and possesses a polished and complete skill set that has been known to occasionally worry the legendary Michael Jordan.

Payton earned nine All Star appearances and an NBA Championship throughout the course of his 17-year professional career. In addition, he was once named “Defensive Player of the Year” (1996) and has already been in to the prestigious NBA Hall of Fame!

It should not be surprising that Payton still holds the Seattle franchise records for points, assists, and (most crucially) steals given that he spent 13 years overall with the Sonics.

It’s interesting to note, though, that despite his outstanding play for the Sonics, his lone NBA Championship came in 2006, toward the end of his career, while playing for the Miami Heat.

The next year, The Glove announced his retirement, and the bald legend is currently employed as a coach in Ice Cube’s BIG3 League!

3. Taj Gibson

Taj Gibson has had the bald appearance for a while now. He was selected by the Chicago Bulls with the 26th overall choice in the 2009 NBA Draft, though he currently represents the New York Knicks. Taj Gibson is a power forward who stands 6’9″.

Taj Gibson attended the University of Southern California and was a member of the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi before joining the NBA.

He was also selected for the 2007 Pac-10 All-Freshman team despite being one of the nation’s oldest freshman at age 21. He helped USC win the Pacific-10 Tournament Championship in 2009, earning him a spot on the All-Pac 10 Tournament Team.

4. Kobe Bryant

Fans got to watch Kobe Bryant’s legendary talent and a variety of haircuts develop over the course of his 20-year NBA career. Kobe had a bald appearance when he made his NBA debut back in 1996.

Kobe, however, donned a variety of haircuts, including his well-known afro that fans refer to as Frobe, from 1997 to 2011 – when he started losing his hair and decided on a shaved look.

5. Kevin Durant

The debate over whether NBA player Kevin Durant’s baldness is the result of genetics, aging, or a particular hairstyle has also come up.

The area of Durant’s head where people usually draw attention to it looks to be bald. Regarding his hair, Kevin Durant is still silent.

6. Kemba Walker

At the moment, Kemba Walker is a member of the New York Knicks. The Charlotte Bobcats selected him with the ninth overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.

He was the second-leading scorer in the country in the 2010–11 season while playing collegiate basketball for the Connecticut Huskies and being from The Bronx.

He was chosen as a first-team All-American by the majority of voters, assisted the Huskies in winning the 2011 NCAA Championship, and was voted the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.

7. Kevin Garnett

Kevin Garrett is a bald baller who is big, bold, and bald. During his 21-year career with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics, and Brooklyn Nets, Garrett put up some absolutely amazing numbers.

It’s interesting to note that he played his final season in the Target Center after beginning his career with the Timberwolves, where he spent 12 years between 1995 and 2007.

Garnett is highly regarded within the NBA and ranks right up there with any of the other bald superstars we’ve already listed on our list, despite the fact that he may not have the same name recognition or perceived ability as a Jordan or a Barkley.

In order to accomplish this, “The Big Ticket” is a 15-time All-Star, a previous MVP (in 2004), and an NBA Champion (won during his second year with the Boston Celtics in 2008). His championship season saw him shine with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, earning him a spot on the All-NBA First Team for the fourth and final time.

However, it was his work with the Timberwolves that truly attracted attention, as Garnett’s extraordinary talent and egotistical personality lifted the franchise out of obscurity and to their first-ever play-off victory in 1997.

8. Charles Barkley

Charles Barkley’s decision to go bald proved to be a success. It was commonly known that he preferred the moniker “The Round Mound of Rebound” throughout his playing career.

Chuck, though, caused controversy when he declared on ESPN Radio about Asians: “I’m not saying I don’t like Chinese people.” I enjoy all Asians. However, they are baffling, and you want to know why.

They’re some weird (crap) man, that’s why. Ouch! Before making his remark, Charles would have benefited from some counsel from Tim Duncan.

9. Karl Malone

The best power forward to ever play the position is regarded as “The Mailman,” if not the best. This 14-time All-Star and 2-time MVP amassed too many honors to count, but he never managed to win the elusive title (in part because of #1 on our list). His ranking on the list of all-time scorers must be his most impressive statistic.

He just trails one other well-known baldie later on this list in terms of points scored in NBA history. For almost 18 years, he and John Stockton were a practically unbeatable jazz combination.

Malone is not just one of the greatest bald players of all time, but also one of the finest players ever overall (and he’s only ranked number 5 on our list!).

10. Antonie Walker

Walker, a three-time NBA all-star, is best remembered for his accomplishments with the Boston Celtics during his seven-year NBA career, the 1996 NCAA Championship with Kentucky, and the 2006 NBA Championship with the Miami Heat.

He performed throughout his entire career with a shaved head.
