Jeremie Frimpong vs Vanderson: Which right-back should Liverpool sign?
Liverpool need a new right-back and have made contact with AS Monaco man Vanderson over a summer move, according to Goal Brasil. The Reds will lose Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer and are in the market for a replacement. That search has led them to Vanderson. The 23-year-old is a marauding full-back who excels on both sides of the ball, and Monaco would demand a sensible sum to let him go (€30 million). Liverpool don't want to spend too much to reinforce the position, and Vanderson fits into their budget. He will provide competition for Conor Bradley. The Brazilian scored once and created five big chances in 27 Ligue 1 appearances this season. He helped keep three clean sheets, winning 61% of his ground and 46% of his aerial duels. Among full-backs, Vanderson is in the top 5% for tackles, interceptions, and blocks across Europe's top five leagues while recording impressive progressive passing and carrying numbers. The former Gremio defender would be an exciting addition to the Liverpool ranks, but it remains to be seen if the Reds move ahead with a deal. The consensus has been that Liverpool will swoop for Bayer Leverkusen man Jeremie Frimpong this summer, but Goal Brasil has thrown Vanderson into the mix. The speedy Dutchman is one of the most productive right-backs in the business. Frimpong has 37 goal involvements across the last two seasons (18 goals, 19 assists) in all competitions. Frimpong has more than four times as many goal contributions as Vanderson over the past two seasons. However, it is worth noting that Frimpong comes from a system where he was more of a winger than a defender, although he does have experience playing as an orthodox right-back. The above diagram shows Vanderson excels in the defensive phase and can hang with Frimpong offensively. Liverpool might opt for the seemingly more complete Vanderson, even though Frimpong will be an offensive weapon. With Mohamed Salah signing a new contract, the Reds need a more conservative full-back to cover for the ageing Egyptian. Liverpool would be wise to pursue a move for Vanderson ahead of Frimpong. They can still look at other interesting names like Tottenham Hotspur's rampaging full-back Pedro Porro. There is also Feyenoord starlet Givairo Read, whom Arne Slot knows, and Newcastle United star Tino Livramento, who has been linked.

Family over glory for Hong Kong footballer who captained Neymar, Alisson and Casemiro
Gerson Vieira has made peace with never reaching the heights of superstar former Brazilian teammates who once called the Tai Po midfielder 'president'. Advertisement Neymar, Casemiro, Philippe Coutinho and Alisson Becker were all in the Brazil team Vieira captained at the 2009 Under-17 World Cup. While that quartet played for the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Liverpool, Vieira followed a lower road that included stops in Uruguay, India, Japan, Tanzania and now Hong Kong. Vieira said he had been held back by his first club Gremio, who would neither give him a first-team opportunity, nor sell him. By contrast, his young international colleagues were being given chances elsewhere, or, in the case of Coutinho, signing for Inter Milan in 2008. 'I lost the perfect time to be in the first team,' Vieira said. 'In Brazil, we have a queue, when it's your turn, you have to take it, or there's another waiting right behind you.' Advertisement When Gremio rejected repeated offers from French club Angers, in 2013, Vieira began to 'think more about family than glory'.

Ex-Brazil coach Tite steps away from football after health scare
Tite, who coached Brazil at the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups and has a lot of success at club level, has announced that he is stepping away from the game for an indefinite period to cater to his physical and mental well-being. The 63-year-old, was hospitalised due to a heart issue last August and Brazilian media reported that he had an anxiety attack overnight before flying from Rio de Janeiro to Sao Paulo, after which he decided to take a step back. 'I have to understand that, as a human being, I can be vulnerable. Admitting to that will certainly make me stronger,' Tite, who coached Brazil from 2016 to 2022 taking them to two World Cup quarter-finals, said. 'I love what I do and I will continue to, but as I spoke to my family and noticed the signs that my body was giving me, I decided to do what is best now and interrupt my career to take care of myself as long as I need.' After being fired by Flamengo last September less than a year after taking the job, Tite hasn't coached anywhere, but was expected to sign a deal with Corinthians on Tuesday, before he decided otherwise. 'There was an ongoing conversation with Corinthians, but it will have to be halted due to a difficult but necessary decision,' the coach said. He had previously led the club to several titles, including the 2012 Copa Libertadores and Club World Cup. Tite has also coached other Brazilian club sides – most noticeably Gremio, Atlético Mineiro and Palmeiras. His crowning glory as a coach was guiding Brazil to the 2019 Copa America title at home, defeating Peru 3-1 in the final. In the 2021 edition, also in Brazil, the hosts lost 0-1 to arch-rivals Argentina in the summit clash. Tite was a midfielder in his playing days (1979-1990) but never represented Brazil, and had to retire at the age of 27 due to a succession of knee injuries.

Former Brazil Coach Tite Taking Break to Take Care of Mental, Physical Health
Former Brazil coach Tite said he is taking an indefinite career break in order to take care of his mental and physical health. The 63-year-old, who led Brazil to the 2019 Copa America title, was hospitalized due to a heart issue last August. He was sacked by Flamengo the following month and had most recently been linked with the Corinthians job. "I realized that there are times when you have to understand that, as a human being, I can be vulnerable and admitting that will certainly make me stronger," Tite said in a statement posted on his son Matheus Bachi's Instagram on Tuesday. "I'm passionate about what I do and I'll continue to be so, but after talking to my family and observing the signals my body was giving off, I decided that the best thing to do now is to take a break from my career to look after myself for as long as it takes. "As has become public, there was a conversation in progress with Corinthians, but it will have to be paralyzed by a difficult but necessary decision." Tite, who stepped down as Brazil coach after their quarter-final exit from the 2022 World Cup, has previously coached a string of Brazilian sides including Gremio, Atletico Mineiro and Palmeiras.
