How Brighton's Matt O'Riley went from possible departure to opening-day scorer

During Brighton & Hove Albion's pre-season training camp in Spain this summer, with speculation swirling about his future, Matt O'Riley took the initiative to clarify with head coach Fabian Hurzeler his desire to make his move to the club work. 'I think he's naturally got trust in me just because he's seen the rhythm I've had in pre-season, which is great,' O'Riley told reporters after scoring a penalty in Saturday's season-opening 1-1 draw against Fulham, one of his former clubs, at the Amex Stadium. Advertisement 'I also did go up to him in pre-season, just to reiterate the fact that I'm here as a Brighton player and I want to help the team as much as possible, just because I was aware there was a lot of noise around me, and I think that helped just settle the situation in general.' There is still interest in O'Riley from Italian clubs, but the chances of him staying with Brighton are stronger than at the time of his previous success from the spot. It has been quite a turnaround since he converted a penalty in the 4-1 away win against Tottenham Hotspur in the final fixture of last season. That was a rare moment of joy in a forgettable debut campaign with Brighton, following a £25million ($33.8m) move from Celtic. Nine minutes into his first Brighton appearance, in the Carabao Cup, O'Riley was injured in a tackle by Crawley Town defender Jay Williams. The resulting ankle ligament damage kept him out for 10 weeks and he was playing catch-up from then on, struggling to command a regular place and position. A knee injury in the 2-0 win at Ipswich Town in January was a further obstacle in O'Riley's quest to establish himself, with his next start not coming until April. He had thrived in two-and-a-half seasons in Glasgow, averaging a goal involvement every other game (27 goals and 35 assists in 124 appearances) under Ange Postecoglou and then Brendan Rodgers. Three of those assists in his final year with Celtic came in Champions League encounters with Atletico Madrid, Lazio and Feyenoord. Two goals and three assists in 21 Premier League appearances — only 11 of which were starts — in his first year at Brighton represented a significant drop in output. Then, while O'Riley was on international duty with Denmark (an England youth international, he has a Danish mother) in early June, reports surfaced there that he was not entirely happy with how Hurzeler had been using him in different midfield positions when he was fit to play. It only fueled further rumours that his first season at the Amex could also end up being his last. By mid-June, one Serie A club had pushed their interest as far as a verbal offer, initially on a loan basis. Brighton, however, were keeping their options open; they were not actively trying to sell O'Riley, but they understood his frustration and were not ruling out a move if it suited all parties. Advertisement O'Riley's reinvention was evident in the second match of that pre-season trip to Marbella against Las Palmas, a La Liga side last season. Playing behind Danny Welbeck, he contributed a goal and an assist in a 2-0 victory. In a post-match chat with reporters, including The Athletic, O'Riley looked and sounded in a better place. He spoke of feeling 'a lot more connected' in the playing system with Welbeck, operating closely together in and out of possession. 'I've come back this pre-season feeling a lot better, both just physically and mentally in general, and I think that's helping me on the pitch just be a lot more free,' he said, brushing off those reports from Denmark that hinted at dissatisfaction by remarking that 'people are good at twisting your words'. Asked by The Athletic how, at that stage, he saw his future, O'Riley added: 'Of course, you never know what happens, because football is a very unique business in that sense. In many ways, some things are out of your control at times. But at the same time, I'm here, I enjoy being here. I love spending time with my team-mates and the staff. I think that should be enough for now.' Fast forward to the start of the season, and three days before Fulham's visit, a source — speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships — told The Athletic that Hurzeler has been very happy with O'Riley and sees the 24-year-old as part of his plans for the 2025-26 campaign after a strong pre-season. Aside from O'Riley's sixth successful penalty from eight career attempts with Brighton, Celtic and Fulham, he showed up well behind Georginio Rutter on Saturday, operating mainly as the No 10 but sometimes more like a No 8, with licence to drop deeper at suitable moments. Hurzeler mentioned during his post-match press conference that O'Riley 'worked well defensively'. O'Riley's 88-minute contribution was his second-longest period on the pitch in any Brighton game, before he was replaced by James Milner. He has only seen out more minutes for the club once: the 1-1 home draw against Newcastle in May, in which he was taken off at 89 minutes. The extent of Riley's opportunities is likely to revolve around how Hurzeler uses Welbeck and Rutter. Welbeck at No 9 and Rutter at No 10 is arguably the most effective alliance, in which case O'Riley could be squeezed for chances again. Even so, he agrees that his future at the club is cemented more now than it was at the start of the summer transfer window. 'I think a good pre-season helps,' he said. 'That's something I didn't get last pre-season. I feel more integrated with the group. I feel like I'm getting more rhythm, feeling more settled in general. So, there are only positives from my side.' Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Play today's puzzle

Joan Laporta sends public message to Barcelona director Deco

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has late this week moved to reveal his appreciation for the recent efforts of club director Deco on the registration front. This of course comes fresh off an altogether productive 24 hours for those behind the scenes at the Camp Nou. Barcelona are primed to kick the defence of their La Liga title into gear on Saturday evening, in a meeting with Mallorca at Son Moix. In the buildup to the clash, the Blaugrana were left in very real danger of being forced to make do without either of their high-profile summer signings. This came as Joan García and Marcus Rashford remained unregistered owing to financial constraints. In the end, though, Deco and his team of directors managed to get the job done, navigating the complicated path placed before them by La Liga to ensure that Joan and Rashford will be at the disposal of Hansi Flick at Son Moix. And as alluded to above, the significance of as much has not been at all lost on Barca president Joan Laporta. Speaking during an appearance in front of the media on Saturday, Laporta explained: 'I said it last night that Deco was working very well on this issue and that we were convinced we could count on both players today. We have to congratulate Deco on this issue, which, as you can see, is not easy.' Conor Laird – GSFN

‘What you notice about Kylan Mbappe is…' – Xabi Alonso on individuals and Franco Mastantuono

Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso appeared most happy with match-winner Kylian Mbappe and debutant Franco Mastantuono following his first La Liga game in charge. Their 1-0 win over Osasuna was also occasion for kind words for the returning Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao. Los Blancos ran out victors in the end with two debuts in Alvaro Carreras and Mastantuono, while Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold also made their first appearances at the Santiago Bernabeu. 'What I saw was that neither the shirt nor the Bernabeu weighed on them. The four of them had performances, that were good, serious, perhaps not spectacular, but correct. Franco ruffled some feathers when he came on, and added attitude. I'm happy with the victory though, and I'm happy to return to the Bernabeu. You imagine what you can achieve, and it excites you.' Outside of Huijsen, Mastantuono was perhaps the most exciting of the lot. 'We saw some of the things we could get out of him, and he has the look of a good player right? It's true he hasn't been training with us, but he has been preparing himself. And today, well the emotional side maybe weighs more than the physical.' Alonso notes difference in Kylian Mbappe The new Real Madrid manager also felt that he was seeing a difference in Mbappe, whether it be down to him wearing the number 10 or not. 'I think Kylian, after the first year, and having done a lot of good things, wants more. I don't know if that is becuase of a number, or his ambition to win. If he can give more on a collective level, on an individual level, and it's because of the number, fantastic. But what you notice about Kylian, on a day to day basis, is that he wants more. He generated those plays that were a little bit different, that he always does, that end up being decisive.' Image via Nur Photo / Getty Images 'Carva is back around here' – Alonso Another player that earned praise from Alonso was Arda Guler, who started and was only withdrawn in stoppage time – a relative rarity for him last season. 'Since we've been here, he's been taking steps forward, not just without the ball, but his way of managing position, his way of connecting the team, of engaging. And in the first half he made some good runs back, recovered the ball and allowed us to continue attacking. This is what we have to keep pushing him towards, he is doing it, and we're happy with him.' The Basque manager was also happy with his backline. It was a momentous occasion for Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, who returned to action at the Santiago Bernabeu for the first time since October and November respectively. 'Very happy with Dean, who deserved to start. I was very happy for Militao too, after the injury, he played a very serious game.' 'Not only what he can give on the pitch, but off it. He's a captain, he's spent many hours at the Bernabeu, he knows what you have to do to win, and he has to communicate that to the others. He will be fundamental for us. And Carva is now back.'
