Barcelona: According to press reports, Sergio Agüero, the Argentine footballer of FC Barcelona, will announce his retirement on Wednesday. The information in the Spanish newspaper El Periodico was not commented on by the Catalan club, and the player’s manager and friends showed no willingness to confirm the information. However, so much has been leaked that they are preparing for some kind of ceremony at the club on Wednesday in connection with the news. Agüero, a 33-year-old former attacker from Atlético Madrid, arrived in Barcelona for free from the summer in Manchester, where he could not be deployed until mid-October due to a calf injury. At the end of the month, he complained of dizziness and chest pain in the first half of the league match against Alavés, so he had to be replaced. He was taken to hospital, the first prognosis was that he would have to miss at least three months until his cardiovascular problems were thoroughly examined. Two weeks later, he was seen in the Argentine and Spanish sports press to be forced to end his career due to the attacker’s arrhythmia. Agüero played a total of 165 minutes in five matches in Barcelona, scoring a single goal in the 97th minute against Real Madrid. (MTI)

Mainz: Scary details of Ádám Szalai’s car accident were revealed
After his car accident, the role of Ádám Szalai, who strengthened Mainz, against Hertha BSC in the 16th round of the German football league on Tuesday remains uncertain. The Hungarian national team striker suffered a car accident on Friday, so he was not included in the match on Saturday during the 2-1 defeat at the home of defending champion and list leader Bayern Munich. “Adam is still waiting for a medical examination, so I don’t know if I can send him to the field.” Head coach Bo Svensson said on Monday. The 34-year-old striker has played in ten games in the current point hunt, getting off the bench eight times and scoring a goal. Mainz is currently eighth on the Bundesliga table. (MTI)

Police eventually disbanded the group of supporters. For the Legia defending champion, he is an army driver in the Polish championship. (MTI)
Japan: Belgium’s Thomas Vermaelen has left Japan’s Vissel Kobe football team after his contract expires. The band announced the departure of the 36-year-old defender on Monday. Vermaelen moved to Barcelona from Japan two and a half years ago, winning the 2019 Emperor Cup and then the local super cup the following year. He won a bronze medal with the team in the 2021 league season, which is how he could start in the next event of the Asian Champions League. In the 85-time national team, Vermaelen was a regular in the Japanese club team in 57 stakes matches. (MTI)
Guinea: Kaba Diawara, former striker of Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Olympique Marseille, has been appointed federal captain of the Guinea national football team. The leadership of the African country’s sports federation announced on Monday the signing of the 45-year-old specialist. In the last two World Cup qualifiers, Diawara has already led the Guinea national team, which will be in the African Cup of Nations from 9 January. The former attacker has no coaching experience, prior to which he was an assistant to his predecessor, Didier Six, who was driven a month ago. (MTI)
Nigeria: Gernot Rohr, captain of the German association, which has been in the band for more than five years, has left the head of the Nigerian football team. The change was announced by the Nigerian Federation (NFF) in a statement. Secretary-General Mohammed Sanusi said that the technical director, Augustine Eguavoen, will be in charge of the professional work on a temporary basis. Rohr topped the Nigerian national team in August 2016 and his contract lasted until the end of 2022. Despite his early departure, the German specialist is the longest-serving federal captain in the ensemble. The 68-year-old coach was already the fourth African national team after Gabon, Niger and Burkina Faso. Nigeria advanced to the 2018 World Championships in Russia under Rohr – finishing third in the group behind the later finalists Croatians as well as the Argentines, but ahead of Iceland – while finishing as bronze medalist in Egypt at the most recent 2019 Continental Championships. The 2021 African Cup of Nations will be held in Cameroon from 9 January to 6 February, and Nigeria – in the company of Egypt, Sudan and Guinea-Bissau – will be in the D-Quartet. The 33rd continental tournament in the African continent would have originally been held this summer, but first due to unfavorable weather conditions and then the epidemic situation, a new date has been set, so it has shifted to 2022. (MTI)
Sudan: A month before the start of the African Cup of Nations, Hubert Velud, the federal captain of the Sudan national football team, was fired. The 62-year-old French manager was released from work on Sunday, but the decision was only reported by the Sudanese association on Monday. Velud will be succeeded by Borhan Tia, who has worked as a head coach in Sudan for the past decade. Velud had to leave due to poor results as the Sudanese team lost their last three games and had a goal difference of 0-10 in these matches. The African Cup of Nations will be held in Cameroon from 9 January to 6 February 2022, and Sudan will meet Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria and Egypt in Group D. The 33rd continental tournament in the African continent would have originally been held this summer, but first due to unfavorable weather conditions and then the epidemic situation, a new date has been set, so it has shifted to 2022.
