West Bromwich - Penyerang West Bromwich Albion Saido Berahino disarankan tak banyak-banyak beraktivitas di Twitter, Instagram, dan semacamnya, agar fokus sepenuhnya ke sepakbola.

Saran tersebut dilontarkan oleh rekan setimnya sendiri, Ben Foster, setelah Berahino dipastikan bakal bertahan di West Brom yang sudah menepis minat dari Newcastle United dan Stoke City dalam bursa transfer teranyar.

Hal itu tidak lepas dari aktivitas Berahino di jejaring sosial, sampai-sampai pada musim panas lalu sempat curhat di Twitter mengindikasikan mogok main karena tidak dilepas oleh West Brom.

"Ketika manajer bilang bahwa insiden-insiden kecil sudah berulang, itu adalah hal-hal kecil konyol yang tidak perlu ia lakukan," kata Foster seperti dikutip Soccerway.

"Pada masa-masa saat ini, dengan adanya Twitter dan Instagram dan hal semacam itu, orang-orang akan menjalin kontak dengannya dari seluruh penjuru dunia. Hal terbaik untuk dilakukan adalah mengenyahkan segala macam omong kosong itu dan fokus main sepakbola."

"Ia tahu ia akan di sini sampai akhir musim, sesederhana itu. Ia tak perlu hal semacam itu. Lihat saja ketika ia masuk ke lapangan, ia akan jadi ancaman untuk lawan. Ia selalu mampu bikin gol tak peduli ke mana ia pergi karena ia pencetak gol alami," tuturnya.

Absen Lawan Leicester, Foster Rupanya Cedera Usai Main dengan Anak

Leicester - Ben Foster absen ketika West Bromwich Albion berimbang lawan Leicester City. Ia rupanya cedera usai bermain dengan anaknya sendiri.

West Brom unggul lebih dulu ketika bertamu ke King Power Stadium, Selasa (17/10/2017) dini hari WIB, Lewat gol Nacer Chadli di menit ke-65. Tapi gol Riyad Mahrez membuat tuan rumah Leicester kemudian menyamakan skor jadi 1-1 di menit ke-80.

Di laga itu sendiri gawang West Brom dikawal oleh Boaz Myhill, bukannya Foster yang rutin menjadi starter untuk tim tersebut. Manajer West Brom Tony Pulis menyebut kiper utamanya itu mengalami masalah dengan lutut. Pulis tak mau ambil risiko karena pada Maret 2015 lalu Foster harus absen 10 bulan akibat cedera ligamen lutut.

"Mustahil kami mau ambil risiko memainkannya malam ini," ujar Pulis seperti dilansir BBC.

"Ia bermain dengan putranya di taman belakang rumahnya dan kakinya terkilir, dan karena ia punya sejarah cedera di area itu kami pun sedikit khawatir," katanya.

FOSTER IMPRESSED BY SOLSKJAER'S IMPACT

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team may have wiped the smile off Ben Foster's face on Saturday - but the Watford goalkeeper always knew the Norwegian would restore the grins among the home fans at Old Trafford.

In his first match as permanent boss, Solskjaer’s Reds defeated Watford 2-1, with Foster beaten twice by the strike force of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. However, the visiting goalkeeper was still happy for the man he used to play for in United's reserve team.


When Foster was ousted in the Old Trafford pecking order as Edwin van der Sar’s deputy, by Tomasz Kuszczak, he spent time under Ole's tutelage between 2008 and 2010; this stint led to huge admiration for Solskjaer’s man-management skills.

“He just brings a togetherness,” said Foster.

“Management nowadays has evolved, where players almost know what they're doing. They just need somebody who can really instill confidence and stick an arm around players and tell them that they're doing a good job.

”I think that's what they'd been lacking (at United) in the last couple of years.

“It just seems a better place now, a happier environment and that's what Ole brings.

“When I was playing for him when I was in the reserves here, he was just brilliant. Everybody loves playing for him, you go out on the pitch with a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

“I am delighted for Ole. I’m really happy for him. He was great when he was my reserve manager at United once I'd been left out of the first team!

“I'll always have a really good word to say about him, as will probably everyone who has ever met the guy.

“He's a top bloke and I am sure the lads will enjoy playing for him as well.”
