Manuel Ugarte Debut: Ten Hag warns ‘No soy Harry Potter’

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. playTen Hag: I'm not Harry Potter (0:51)Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag strangely claims he's "not Harry Potter" following his side's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford. (0:51)Manuel Ugarte will never forget his first day at Old Trafford. It began with Manchester United's new £50 million midfielder narrowly avoiding being soaked by sprinklers on the pitch as he was introduced to the crowd before the game with Liverpool and ended with manager Erik ten Hag warning it will take time for him to get the best from Ugarte because: "I'm not Harry Potter."In between his prematch sprinkler escape and Ten Hag's postmatch comments, Ugarte watched his new team get dismantled in a 3-0 defeat against United's biggest rivals, with the player he has been signed to replace -- Casemiro -- substituted at half-time because he was simply incapable of performing the role he used to occupy so majestically for Real Madrid.As a first impression, Ugarte had just witnessed the football version of a horror movie.Having only completed his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain on Friday evening, United missed the midday deadline to register Ugarte in time to face Liverpool. As a consequence, the 23-year-old's debut is likely to be against Southampton on Sept. 14, providing he returns unscathed from Uruguay's World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Venezuela during the international break.But already, without having even kicked a ball for United, Ugarte is under huge pressure to be the solution to a problem that has been a constant under Ten Hag: the team's inability to control games from midfield.Manuel Ugarte was presented to the fans on the pitch ahead of the game against Liverpool. Ash Donelon/Manchester United via Getty ImagesIn truth, it is an issue that pre-dates Ten Hag's time at the club. It has perhaps been more noticeable, and damaging, during Ten Hag's two full seasons at Old Trafford due to the cavalier nature of the former Ajax coach's tactical approach, but United have neglected the defensive midfield area since long before Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013.The hope now is that, in Ugarte, the club have finally signed the player that they have lacked for over a decade. The problem is that he might just be expected to pull off an impossible job. He will certainly bring youthful energy, athleticism, tenacity, ball-winning ability and defensive awareness to Ten Hag's team, with the expectation that he will provide the lock on the door that neither Casemiro nor Kobbie Mainoo are equipped to deliver.For a start, Ten Hag will hope that Ugarte's presence will avoid opponents dominating the central third of the pitch as Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch did on Sunday. Ugarte and Mainoo is the obvious defensive midfield axis going forward. Mainoo, 19, is an exceptional talent, but he struggles toward the end of games for United because he has been having to cover too much ground to compensate for Casemiro's lack of mobility.With England at Euro 2024, Mainoo proved to be much more effective with the protection offered by midfield partner Declan Rice; Ugarte should be able to play the same role and give Ten Hag the perfect blend at the base of his midfield.When defeating Manchester City in the FA Cup final last season, Ten Hag deployed Sofyan Amrabat alongside Mainoo in midfield, with Scott McTominay adding additional presence and energy. Amrabat and McTominay are both no longer at United, which is why Casemiro was selected against Liverpool.Casemiro, 32, was once one of the world's greatest defensive midfielders, helping Real Madrid to five Champions League titles during his time alongside Luka Modric and Toni Kroos in the club's stellar midfield. But time has been no friend to the Brazil international and United's decision to sign him in a £70m transfer two years ago looks increasingly naïve.Yet Casemiro was merely the latest in a long line of recruitment mistakes in midfield that have left United so desperate for Ugarte to succeed. The last time that United signed a world-class defensive midfielder at the peak of his career was when they recruited the 26-year-old Owen Hargreaves from Bayern Munich in 2007. The England midfielder helped United to UEFA Champions League glory a year later, but injuries prematurely curtailed his career at the club and United have since lurched from one mistake to another on that position.playNicol: Manchester United's problems much deeper than CasemiroSteve Nicol says Casemiro can't take all the blame for Manchester United's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool.Bastian Schweinsteiger (31 when signed), Nemanja Matic (29) and Casemiro (30) were all past their best when recruited by United, while Fred, Morgan Schneiderlin and Ander Herrera were never of the quality required to play the defensive midfield role for a club of United's stature. The repeated failure to make the right signings -- Manchester City enjoyed great success by signing Fernandinho and then Rodri while United floundered -- even led to the likes of Marouane Fellaini, Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek being deployed in defensive midfield and all being ill-equipped for the role.So a player with Ugarte's skillset is long overdue at United, but he will only be able to solve the defensive midfield problem.Ten Hag will still need to address Lisandro Martínez's defensive recklessness, which has created issues for United's midfielders, and captain Bruno Fernandes must learn to stop exposing his deep-lying teammates by leaving huge gaps when running forward and then displaying less enthusiasm for tracking back.Despite Ten Hag's suggestion, it does not require the magic of Harry Potter to make some obvious tweaks to his team to ensure that it performs as it should. The signing of Ugarte is unquestionably a step in the right direction, but never has a defensive midfielder arrived at a new club accompanied by such a frenzy of anticipation as a consequence of the shortcomings of those he has been signed to replace. ,El nuevo mediocampista de Manchester United, Manuel Ugarte, evitó por poco ser empapado por aspersores en Old Trafford antes de su debut.

¿Cómo se toman decisiones polémicas en la Premier League?

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. Video Assistant Referee causes controversy every week in the Premier League, but how are decisions made, and are they correct?After each weekend we take a look at the major incidents, to examine and explain the process both in terms of VAR protocol and the Laws of the Game.In this week's VAR Review: What happened with Declan Rice's red card against Brighton? Should Matthijs de Ligt have been sent off? And what has happened to handball penalties?Arsenal 1-1 BrightonPossible red card: Veltman challenge on RiceWhat happened: Declan Rice tangled with Joël Veltman by the corner flag in the 49th minute, with referee Chris Kavanagh giving a free kick to Brighton & Hove Albion. Veltman moved the ball forward, and it rebounded off Rice's heel. Rice then tapped the ball away and Veltman, who was looking to play a quick long pass, caught the Arsenal player with his follow through. Rice, who was already on a caution, was shown a second yellow card and sent off for delaying the restart, but no action was taken against Veltman. It was looked at by the VAR, Andy Madley.VAR decision: No red card.Declan Rice is sent off by referee Chris Kavanagh. Nick Potts/PA Images via Getty ImagesVAR review: It was the talking point of the weekend, and while it might appear to be a harsh decision, Rice left the referee with little choice. While his second booking alone cannot be reviewed through VAR the situation as a whole is worth discussing.The VAR check was for a possible red card for serious foul play, due to the way Veltman kicked through on Rice. This was a quick look from Madley because there wasn't the force or brutality required for a red card, but you could argue he should have been booked because he surely could have avoided kicking the Arsenal midfielder.Kavanagh made it clear to the players he had seen what Rice had done, motioning that the Arsenal player had kicked the ball away and off the field.Declan Rice taps the ball away as Joel Veltman shapes to play it. BBCKicking the ball away in itself isn't an automatic cautionable offence, it's the impact -- delaying the taking of a restart -- which determines any sanction. You will often see players tap or kick the ball away in set-piece situations, but if the referee deems this didn't prevent a quick restart then they won't take further action.Rice was guilty of "kicking or carrying the ball away, or provoking a confrontation by deliberately touching the ball after the referee has stopped play," and can have no complaints -- which he has admitted.So, why was Rice sanctioned while Brighton's Joao Pedro escaped a yellow card for doing the same thing in the 18th minute? It comes down to that judgement on delaying the restart, even if Pedro's actions look to be far more deliberate -- he kicked the ball up the field after it had gone out for a throw.The referee decided that the ball had run out of play, and there wasn't an Arsenal player within the vicinity to take a quick throw-in. The ball was about to run to Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, though he was way outside of his technical area and shouldn't even have been in that position to collect it. With Veltman, he was ready to take the restart when Rice touched the ball.Pedro's offence would have been comparable if he'd kicked the ball away as an Arsenal player was about to pick it up.Would Pedro have been booked if the incidents had happened in reverse order? It's highly likely and that comes down to game management and the associated circumstances. Yet to fans, Pedro booting the ball away seems a far clearer offence than Rice tapping it and getting sent off.Joao Pedro kicked the ball up the pitch after it had gone out of play. BBCAnother issue with the Rice incident is that ball might have been moving when Veltman was about to take the free kick, which would have been an illegal restart, but no one can know if the ball would have stopped rolling because Rice's act removed that possibility.The only way Rice's second yellow could have been removed is if the VAR sent the referee to the monitor for a red card for Veltman, and the referee reassessed the whole situation. Once sent to the monitor the referee is in control of all disciplinary outcomes, though in this case Rice's booking would have remained in place as it was a clear cautionable offence.Possible penalty: Handball by Dunk What happened: Ben White attempted a shot on goal in the 11th minute, with the ball hitting the arm of Lewis Dunk before it went behind for a corner. Was there a case for a penalty? VAR decision: No penalty. The ball touches Lewis Dunk's arm but it was close to his body. BBCVAR review: Dunk had his arm close to his body and made no movement towards the ball. We'll touch more on handball penalties in the Premier League later.Man United 0-3 LiverpoolPossible offside: Salah on Alexander-Arnold goal What happened: Liverpool thought they had taken the lead in the sixth minute when Trent Alexander-Arnold scored from a cut-back by Luis Díaz. As the players celebrated the goal, the VAR, John Brooks, checked for a possible offside. VAR decision: Goal disallowed. VAR review: It's a common misconception that a player cannot be offside if the ball is played backwards, because 99% of such situations come from the ball being played forward.Yet the direction of the pass is irrelevant for offside, be it forwards, square or backwards. All that matters is the position of the attacking player relative to the second-last opponent or the ball.If the attacker is in front of the second-last opponent, they must be behind the ball -- which is why Alexander Isak's winning goal for Newcastle United against Tottenham Hotspur wasn't disallowed. If Isak had been in front of the ball he would have been offside, regardless of how the pass was played.As Salah touched the ball before it ran to Alexander-Arnold it's an automatic offside offence. If he'd made no attempt to touch it the goal would likely have stood because he had no direct impact upon an opponent.Mohamed Salah was ahead of the ball when it was played by Luis Díaz. Premier LeaguePossible red card: De Ligt foul on DíazWhat happened: Matthijs de Ligt was booked in the 65th minute for a late challenge on Díaz, but was there enough in it for a red card for serious foul play?VAR decision: No red card. Matthijs de Ligt ran the risk of a red card for his challenge on Luis Díaz. BBCVAR review: De Ligt's tackle was just about the right side of the line to avoid a red card, though he took a huge risk by coming in at pace.The Netherlands international probably avoided an issue because he only led with one foot and wasn't challenging directly into the opponent, but it was small margins.Possible penalty: Mazraoui challenge on Gakpo What happened: Cody Gakpo went down on the edge of the area in the 89th minute in a tussle with Noussair Mazraoui, with Darwin Núñez then firing a shot over the bar. Referee Anthony Taylor signalled he had played advantage when the ball went out. The VAR checked for a possible penalty. VAR decision: No penalty. VAR review: Should advantage be played on a penalty situation, and why wasn't it pulled back by the VAR if the referee had judged a foul but got the positioning wrong?A referee should never play advantage on a penalty unless there is a very clear and immediate opportunity to score. So, based on that, Taylor must have decided the foul contact was just outside the box.It then becomes a question of protocol. If the referee identified a foul, but that foul was actually inside the area, shouldn't the VAR be passing this information on?Once Liverpool hadn't made the most of the advantage, the VAR will not go back to assess a judgement the referee has already made.It does beg the question what the VAR was actually checking ... It might have been the nature of the contact (for example, a possible red card) rather than it being a foul.If the VAR did get involved it could have created a situation whereby they had to award a penalty factually on position, but didn't believe it was a foul (Gakpo initiating contact.) That would have meant sending Taylor to the monitor to overturn his subjective judgement of a foul, even though he never actually gave a spot kick in the first place. That's like what happened in Brentford vs. Brighton last season, when the ref went to the screen but no spot kick was awarded as there was an attacking foul immediately before the defensive infringement.Nottingham Forest 1-1 WolvesPossible penalty: Handball by Strand LarsenWhat happened: Nottingham Forest were on the attack in the 44th minute when Morgan Gibbs-White crossed to the far post to Chris Wood, but the ball touched the arm of Jørgen Strand Larsen. Wood asked for a penalty and it was checked by the VAR, Michael Salisbury.VAR decision: No penalty.VAR review: At the start of the season, the Premier League made it clear that players would have far more leeway when it came to their arms and the expected position relative for movement, so we should see fewer handball penalties through VAR in English football.Strand Larsen had his back to the flight of the ball as he positioned himself to challenge Wood. While there was a movement of the arm this was to get into position and the Wolverhampton Wanderers player couldn't have been aware the ball was dropping at that exact moment.This is likely to be penalised in some other top European leagues and the Champions League, but the Premier League is determined to get the handball law back to a position where players only give penalties away where they have taken a risk or committed a clear and deliberate act.Possible penalty: Handball by Wood What happened: A free kick was delivered into the Forest penalty area in the 75th minute. Craig Dawson was up for set piece and being marked by Wood. As the ball dropped it hit the arm of the Forest player, so was there a case for a spot kick here? VAR decision: No penalty.VAR review: There are striking similarities between this incident and the claim Forest had earlier in the match.Like Larsen, Wood's arm was moving but that is to be expected for the way he was challenging an opponent. Wood also has his back to the play and can't be aware of where the ball was dropping.Let's hope handball remains consistent in such situations.Leicester 1-2 Aston VillaPossible goal: Vardy What happened: Harry Winks played the ball through the middle in the 58th minute to Oliver Skipp, but it hit referee David Coote on the way, then Skipp passed to Jamie Vardy to score. However, Coote had already stopped the game before the goal.VAR decision: No intervention possible.VAR review: The VAR can't get involved here, but there's a distinction in this law which is worth a short explanation.Leicester City fans were annoyed because at another point in the game the referee didn't stop play when the ball touched him, but this is only necessary if the deflection sets up an attack or leads to a change of possession. If the ball stays with the same team in a non-threatening area, there's no need to stop play.The deflection off Coote had a huge influence on the "goal," as it took the ball away from Villa's Amadou Onana who was in position to intercept and caused it to run through to Skipp. Onana immediately appealed when the ball touched the referee, and there was no option but to stop the play.Some factual parts of this article include information provided by the Premier League and PGMOL. ,El VAR causa controversia en la Premier League cada semana. ¿Cómo se toman las decisiones y son correctas?
