German Karim Adeyemi, Barcelona's Spanish winger, said that his best matches are the ones he plays without prior thinking.

The Spanish newspaper AS reported that the German player prefers his movements to be completely spontaneous, as evidenced by his goal against Levante in the Spanish League two weeks ago, which he scored in a wonderful way.

Adeyemi spoke about that shot in his interview with “AS,” saying: “The game was very fast, and I don’t really know how it happened,” explaining that he saw the ball coming and passed him to become behind his back, so he tried to deal with the situation with a touch with the heel of the foot while he was hanging in the air.

He added: “I was far from the goal, so the attempt was not close to becoming a goal, but it was a quick and spontaneous movement that emerged from the moment.”

He added: “I perform at my best when I am not thinking about anything on the field, and my movements come naturally.”

Adeyemi, who is currently in the German national team camp in Herzogenaurach, continued: “I think I can always offer more.” But I am happy with every minute I play, every goal I score, and every win we achieve, and if I can help the team, that is a wonderful thing, as we aspire to win everything.”

Kylian Mbappe's injury raised concern in the corridors of the Spanish club Real Madrid. The French striker was forced to leave the field during France's first match in the current international break, after scoring his team's goal. The initial indicators were not reassuring, as Mbappe left the field feeling pain in his left knee, an area that had caused him major problems last season, and has now returned to constitute a new source of concern in the Valdebebas training center.

The Real Madrid striker was replaced after feeling pain, and the French Football Federation confirmed after the match that he would not continue his career with the national team during this international break. Mbappe immediately returned to Madrid to undergo medical examinations under the supervision of the club's medical staff to determine the severity of the injury. Initial examinations in France indicated a tendon injury, which is sufficient to rule him out of the upcoming matches in the European Nations League.

Mbappe arrived in Madrid, on Saturday, and went directly to the Valdebebas training headquarters to undergo medical examinations, and left the Real Madrid training complex after only twenty minutes. These examinations will allow the club to accurately determine the extent of the injury and develop a recovery plan. Currently, there is no final diagnosis or official timetable for the period of his absence, but initial reports received from sources close to the club are not encouraging; The AS newspaper referred to a worrying scenario, and some journalists close to Real Madrid began talking about the possibility of his absence for a period ranging between three and eight weeks, although the results of the tests must be waited to confirm the accuracy of these time estimates.

Concerns are increasing due to the recent medical record of his left knee, as it is not a strange area for Mbappe or Real Madrid. In the final stages of last season, the striker actually suffered from discomfort in that joint, which ultimately affected his participation in several important matches. Although the club initially announced that he had suffered a sprain, the symptoms gradually worsened, and the list of matches he missed included the knockout round matches against Benfica and Manchester City.

An important and special date looms on the horizon, which is the “El Clásico” match. Real Madrid will be a guest against Barcelona at Camp Nou on October 25, that is, after only one month.

If the worst scenario comes true and Mbappe is absent from the field for a period ranging between six and eight weeks, the striker may miss one of the most important matches of the season.

Russian Daniil Medvedev, ranked first in the Hangzhou Open Tennis Championship, qualified for the round of 8 after defeating Frenchman Valentin Royer 7-6, 6-3, on Saturday, in the round of 16 of the Chinese Championship.

Medvedev saved all five of his opponent's break-point opportunities, settling the match in an hour and 49 minutes and continuing his journey towards achieving his third title this season.

Medvedev said after the match: “Valentin is a very difficult player. He reached the final here last year, so I knew the first match was not going to be easy. “I was able to provide a very good serve in the important moments, and I am happy with that, and I think my level was good.”

Medvedev added: “I knew I needed to try to play offensively as well.” “I think we performed well offensively.”

In other matches, Chinese Bo Yunchawkit defeated Polish Kamil Maciak, seeded eighth, with a score of 7-6, 6-7, 6-2, and Russian Roman Saviolin came from behind against Frenchman Quentin Hales, seeded fourth, and beat him 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 in two hours and 17 minutes.

Bo Yunchaokit will meet Saviolin in the round of 8, after the Chinese player achieved only his second victory this season in the World Tennis Association Championships, both of which came during his current participation in Hangzhou.
