تحدث أشرف بن شرقي، لاعب الأهلي الجديد، عن كواليس انضمامه إلى القلعة الحمراء، خلال فترة الانتقالات الشتوية الجارية.

وقال بن شرقي عبر فيديو نُشر على الصفحة الرسمية للنادي الأهلي على “فيس بوك”: “بصراحة، اتخذت قرار اللعب في الأهلي بجدية، وأنا سعيد جدًا بوجودي في نادٍ كبير بحجمه، سواء على المستوى الإفريقي أو العربي أو العالمي”.

وتابع: “الهدف الذي جئت من أجله هو تحقيق البطولات، والمشاركة في دوري أبطال إفريقيا وكأس العالم للأندية، الأهلي لا يحتاج إلى من يتحدث عنه، فاسمه وحده يكفي”.

وواصل: “الأهلي معروف عالميًا بأنه نادٍ ينافس دائمًا على البطولات، ولا يحتاج إلى أن يتحدث أشرف بن شرقي عنه، فهو يتحدث عن نفسه، أي لاعب يتمنى الانضمام للأحمر من أجل تحقيق البطولات”.

وأكمل: “الأهلي يدخل أي منافسة بهدف الفوز بها، وتحقيق البطولات هو الهدف الأول للنادي، وهذا هو الشغف الذي يتمناه أي لاعب”.

وأضاف: “أعلم أن الأهلي معتاد على المنافسة على البطولات، وهذا أمر رائع بالنسبة للنادي، والجماهير، واللاعبين، كان أحد أهدافي عند الانضمام إليه هو المشاركة في كأس العالم للأندية، لأنها حلم لأي لاعب”.

وأردف: “نحن، كنادي الأهلي، لدينا هدف واحد ومشروع واحد، وهو الوصول إلى أبعد نقطة ممكنة في كأس العالم للأندية”.

واسترسل: “إنتر ميامي يعرف تاريخ الأهلي، لأنه نادٍ كبير، ومن الطبيعي أن يكون الفريق الذي سيواجهه هو من يشعر بالقلق، وليس العكس، وهذه هي ميزة الأهلي”.

واستكمل: “أعرف يحيى عطية الله، وأشرف داري، ورضا سليم من المغرب، وأتمنى أن أندمج معهم سريعًا في الأجواء، وإن شاء الله نحقق ما نطمح إليه مع الأهلي”.

وأضاف: “الأهلي نادٍ كبير يحب البطولات ويحب لاعبيه، ويحب أن يكون لاعبوه على قدر المسؤولية، جمهور الأهلي يعشق ناديه أكثر من أي شيء آخر، ونحن كلاعبين نلمس هذا الأمر”.

وأتم: “عندما لعبت لأول مرة ضد الأهلي في برج العرب، وأمام جماهيره، شعرت وكأنني وسط زلزال، حينها أدركت قيمة الأهلي، ومدى عشق جماهيره له، لهذا يجب على كل لاعب أن يدرك قيمة الجمهور الذي يدعمه طوال الموسم، وعليه أن يسعى لتحقيق البطولات من أجله، لأن هذا هو ما يحبه جمهور الأهلي، ولأن جمهور الأهلي كبير وعظيم”.

Outra figura do Bahia que se pronunciou de maneira bastante crítica a arbitragem na derrota por 3 a 0 diante do Flamengo, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, foi o Vice-Presidente do clube, Vitor Ferraz.

Além de questionar quem iria “devolver os pontos” para o clube em partidas onde avaliou ter sido prejudicado por erros de arbitragem, houveram fortes apontamentos ao trabalho de Leonardo Gaciba, Presidente da Comissão de Arbitragem da CBF:

– Como disse Guto Ferreira, quem vai dar a cara para falar alguma coisa? Porque nós temos um presidente da Comissão de Arbitragem que, para dizer o mínimo, é um covarde. Ele não fala nada! Nós estamos cansados, Gaciba! Estamos cansados! O seu trabalho é um desastre! Tenha vergonha, peça para sair! Nós não suportamos mais isso!A arbitragem não pode decidir partidas! A arbitragem tem que trabalhar com correção! Como é que vai acabar isso? Quando vai acabar isso? A CBF vai continuar compactuando com isso? Porque, se não muda, é porque compactua.

– É uma falta de respeito! Nós fazemos um trabalho sério, digno, decente e não aceitamos ser prejudicados dessa forma! Quais as explicações, quem vai dar uma explicação porque nós estamos exaustos, a torcida do Bahia não suporta mais!

Vitor chegou a pedir desculpas pelo tom de voz utilizado no seu indignado discurso. Porém, na sequência, fez questão de dar um “recado”:

– Me desculpem a minha indignação, mas não há como agir de outra forma. Éum absurdo o que está acontecendo. Mas vocês não vão derrubar o Esporte Clube Bahia porque nós somos maiores do que isso. Nós vamos lutar e, com as nossas prórias forças, contra tudo o que vem acontecendo, nós vamos sair dessa. E vocês vão ter que suportar isso. Não adianta! Queremos explicações! Queremos seriedade no futebol brasileiro e não estamos vendo.

The exit of a £200,000-a-week Manchester United player is now not expected to happen this summer, according to a fresh update from journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Latest on Man Utd exits on deadline day

The future of Jadon Sancho has dominated deadline day from a Red Devils perspective, as he potentially looks to seal a move away from Old Trafford.

The Englishman has never got going in a United shirt since completing a big-money move from Borussia Dortmund back in 2021, even being loaned back to the Bundesliga side last season. Chelsea are believed to be making late efforts to sign the 24-year-old, as the Blues look to seal yet another signing.

However, Erik ten Hag provided an update on Sancho's future during his pre-Liverpool press conference on Friday, saying he expects him to remain at United: "As far as I know, I expect him to stay, yeah. We are happy with him. We need a good squad. We have to play many games until January. After the break we play every third day so we need options."

Away from all things Sancho, a key update has now emerged regarding the future of another Old Trafford ace.

£200,000-a-week Man Utd winger set to stay

According to Romano on X, Antony is expected to stay at Manchester United this summer, with a loan move to Real Betis off the table after the player decided he wants to stay and fight for his place at Old Trafford.

There is no question that Antony has been a disappointing signing for United overall, with a lack of end product from his right-sided attacking role something that he has received plenty of credit for. The £200,000-a-week Brazilian has only bagged 11 goals and five assists in 83 appearances for United, which compared to the likes of rivals Mohamed Salah and Bukayo Saka in his position, is simply not good enough for the Red Devils to close the gap.

That being said, Antony does still possess quality and is only 24 years of age, with Rio Ferdinand describing him as a "threat" and Danny Murphy also praising him last season: "Antony was running in behind and making different types of runs today. There’s been a lot of discontent with him in the first couple of games, but his end product, picking passes better, he was much more decisive in his play today."

There is plenty of competition for places in wide areas at United now, including Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo, so now is the time for Antony to find another gear, or the calls for him to move on next summer are only likely to become more deafening.

The natural ability is there for all to see, in terms of his classy left foot and quick dribbling, but it is now a case of him adding that all-important substance to his game, scoring and assisting at a far greater rate.

Wickets tumble at Cardiff, as debutant wicketkeeper plays role in key scalp

David Hopps14-May-2021

Yorkshire 69 for 4 (Root 34*, Bess 16*) trail Glamorgan 149 (Brook 3-13, Patterson 3-27) by 80 runs Anybody who googled “Harry Duke” on May 14, 2021 would have found Prince Harry expounding on his newly-held belief in genetic pain. Search the scorecard and there was not a run, catch or stumping to be seen. It is fair to remark that Yorkshire’s debutant wicketkeeper has yet to capture the public eye.But Harry Duke – that’s the teenage wicketkeeper from Wakefield and not the man sixth in line for the throne – can claim nevertheless to have made an immediate impact on his first day in the job, by playing a small but important role at the start of the Ashes phoney war.”The battle that will decide the Ashes: Root v Labuschagne” was how one national newspaper billed Yorkshire’s visit to Glamorgan. Only Joe Root has made more Test runs than Marnus Labuschagne since he played in his first Ashes Test as a concussion replacement for Steve Smith at Lord’s nearly two years ago. If Ashes series can ever be determined by a single match-up, it’s a fair enough theory.Labuschagne only managed 10 from 18 balls for Glamorgan before he fell lbw to Ben Coad, displaying his frustration at his error with an incredulous shake of the head and a route march to short leg and back. But that error might not have happened had Duke not dared to stand up to the stumps to Coad, force Labuschagne to abandon his method of batting well outside his crease, and contributed to the malfunction.Jonny Tattersall, who had been dropped to give Duke his chance, also stands up at times to Coad, who clocks around 80mph. But this was the first morning of a debut on a devilishly difficult pitch which offered the bowlers swing, seam and some uneven bounce. This was a 19-year-old on debut. This was a world-class batsman who might just nick one that would be easier to take standing back than standing up.Related

His boldness brought to mind the pre-match comments by Martyn Moxon, Yorkshire’s director of cricket, when he reflected on the fact that the match would be televised. “Harry is a real competitor, a real scrapper and a battler, and he’ll thrive on that. He’s the kind of character who will relish the stage.”No need to fret unduly then, about the damage that could be caused by giving Duke an unexpected headline then, even in Yorkshire where “too much too soon” was once the catchphrase of every club chairman in the county.Labuschagne is having a lean time in this challenging English Spring. He has talked about the need to adjust his technique again for county pitches after becoming a little square-on to find more run-scoring opportunities against an India attack that bowled straight to him. His anxiety was perhaps illustrated before he had scored when he was sent back after Dom Bess had pulled off a fine stop at cover and would have been run out by a direct hit.Jimmy Anderson, who also dismissed him cheaply for Lancashire last week on their first-ever meeting, pointedly said with the Ashes in mind that it was “nice to get the first blow in” and then probably messed with Labuschagne’s mind even more by adding: “It’s like when you see a girl at a club and you try to play it cool; you want her to be impressed.”Joe Root endured in tough conditions•Getty Images

Root’s judicious unbeaten 34, by contrast, was comfortably the outstanding innings on a taxing batting day in which 14 wickets fell, so enabling the game to stay “live” after the loss of the first day to rain. Yorkshire are still 80 behind on first innings with six wickets left, aware that the world could collapse around their ears at any moment. Kent were dismissed for 72 in the last match on this ground and conditions can’t have been much different.Glamorgan were 82 for 7 immediately after lunch, total calamity prevented by David Lloyd and Billy Root, backed up by some tasty late-order flourishes. Lloyd, advanced up the order to opener this season, still drove freely during his 31, and survived missed slip catches by Root, at fourth, and Brook, at third, in reaching 10. Root’s was difficult; Brook’s was simpler, but the England captain (uncommonly) was to his right as well as the ball and these things can have an effect.This was the day that Billy Root was awarded his county cap, a nice touch with Joe available for the brotherly fist bump after the ceremony at the tea interval. He has developed into a decent county player in his own right and, after he reached 23, it took a smart catch in his follow-through by Brook to remove him off a leading edge.Brook, Yorkshire’s fifth seamer, collected 3 for 15 with his medium-paced inswing, Chris Cooke and Dan Douthwaite also falling lbw. Whenever Yorkshire’s attack lost its discipline the skipper, Steven Patterson, restored it. There were three wickets for him, too. Lloyd inadvisably left one which came back to hit his off stump and though the in-form Kiran Carlson got off the mark with his signature square drive, he then edged one that bounced a bit to first slip.Yorkshire subsided to 36 for 4 in return, three of them to Michael Neser, whose presence enhances Glamorgan’s already competitive edge. Lyth’s dismissal owed everything to a springing catch at square leg by Carlson, Ballance cut to third man in somewhat giveaway fashion and Neser no doubt observed Brook’s pronounced, unbalanced trigger movement across his stumps and thought “I’ll have a bit of that”.The day on ended with both commentators, Robert Croft and Eddie Bevan, covering an entire over in Welsh. At the end of the over the umpires decided enough was enough and called off play early. The two incidents were not thought to be connected.

Liverpool have been tipped to make a move as early as the January transfer window to replace stalwart defender Virgil van Dijk amid ongoing contract uncertainty surrounding the Reds skipper.

Van Dijk facing key Liverpool decision

As it stands, Virgil van Dijk will leave Liverpool as a free agent next summer, with the Dutchman into the final months of his contract at Anfield. The defender cast doubt on his future under Arne Slot ahead of the 24/25 Premier League campaign, but appears to have made his mind up to stay on for both club and country for now.

Speaking over the international break, he told the media: “At both teams, I am still Virgil van Dijk, the big leader, and I certainly want to remain that for the next two years.

"It is also about the confidence you get and you look at your own ability and ask whether you are still important enough. I am very much important, on and off the pitch. I don't like to say that about myself, but I am. The responsibility at the club and at the national team is still super big.”

Liverpool are almost certain to offer one of their best ever players a new deal, though he will head into the 2025/26 campaign having just turned 34 years old and a succession plan will be needed.

The Reds have already shown their flexibility in that regard this summer, agreeing a deal to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia before loaning him back to the Spanish club, with the plan eventually that the Georgian will replace Alisson at Anfield.

They may wish to do something similar with Van Dijk, with no backup even at the club following the departure of Joel Matip at the end of last season. And, according to one report, they could move as soon as January.

Liverpool chasing "fantastic" defender

That comes courtesy of a report from Spain, which names Liverpool as one of three clubs chasing 24-year-old defender Loic Bade. The report claims that the Reds are up against European giants PSG and Bayern Munich for his signature, with Bade having impressed in the south of Spain for Sevilla.

Dubbed a "fantastic" talent on X by talent scout Jacek Kulig back during his time in Ligue 1, an ill-fated spell at Nottingham Forest tempered expectations but he is now showing glimpses of his true potential.

Though he signed a new contract earlier this year, the report points to a 60m euro (£50.1m) release clause in his deal, which clubs can activate from January, though his £68,000 a week deal runs until 2029 which means that anything less is unlikely to be considered.

All three sides "see him as a key piece" of their future defences, and that Liverpool "consider him a serious option to replace Virgil Van Dijk" and an "ideal candidate" for their backline.

Of course, Van Dijk will not be leaving the club in January, but should Liverpool be serious about their interest they may wish to get ahead of their rivals and secure his replacement even before his eventual departure.

وواصل: “أنا أحب هذا الرجل، وأحب كل شيء يتعلق به، كلاعب كرة قدم وكرجل، وأحبه كأيقونة في كرة القدم، لا يوجد شيء في محمد صلاح لا يعجبني”.

وأكمل: “قد يكون اللاعب الأفضل في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز تاريخيًا. أنت تعرف هناك أساطير مثل تيري هنري وريان جيجز، ولكن في الواقع، الجيل مختلف وطريقة اللعب مختلفة، كرة القدم ليست نفسها، وضغط المباريات كذلك ووسائل التواصل الاجتماعي كما تعلمون”.

A new update has emerged regarding Erik ten Hag’s future as Manchester United manager, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s involvement revealed.

Ten Hag under pressure at Man Utd

Ten Hag has already found himself under a lot of pressure this season, even though the new Premier League campaign is still only five matches old. A last-gasp 2-1 defeat away to Brighton last month was a bad day at the office, but the 3-0 defeat at home to rivals Liverpool saw the Red Devils completely outplayed at Old Trafford.

For that reason, there have been some who have once again doubted whether the Dutchman is the right man to take United forward, with performances and results continuing to be hit-and-miss, as has too often been the case since he arrived at the club in the summer of 2022.

On Saturday evening, the Red Devils made a potentially tough trip to Crystal Palace in the league, and could only battle their way to a 0-0 draw, despite arguably being the better team at Selhurst Park. Chances came and went for both sides, but a lack of top-quality finishing was on show.

The bottom line is that it was still points dropped by United, even though the display was good in parts, and they are now 11th in the table, which is not what supporters were dreaming of when the season got underway.

Key update over Ten Hag's Man Utd future

According to a fresh update from Football Insider, there are four big figures who will decide Ten Hag’s fate as Manchester United manager, one of which is part-owner Ratcliffe, who has had a hands-on approach since owning a 27.7% stake in his boyhood club earlier this year.

Dan Ashworth, Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox are also going to be a big part of the decision, as they continue to weigh up if the 54-year-old is the right man to take the Red Devils into the future and take them back to the top of the English game.

That being said, the report does say that the quartet “will not rush into any rash calls and are willing to allow the boss more time to get results out of his team”, suggesting that Ten Hag’s job is safe for the time being.

There was enough in United’s performance at Palace to suggest that the former Ajax manager is worth persevering with for now, with new signings Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt looking the part in defence, helping keep a clean sheet in the process.

The visitors had 67% of possession against an Eagles side tipped to do well this season, as well as creating five big chances compared to their opponents’ tally of three. New signing Manuel Ugarte still has to come into the team as well, which should add more legs to the midfield, so there are reasons for an element of positivity, but big improvements are still needed, especially in terms of consistency week in, week out.

It is understandable why some would feel that Ten Hag can be improved upon, but it is refreshing to see Ratcliffe and others not rushing into a decision, given the impatient nature of modern football.
