لا يزال مستقبل الدولي المصري محمد صلاح في ليفربول الإنجليزي محل شك، مع تألقه خلال هذا الموسم وما يقدمه في الدوري الإنجليزي ودوري أبطال أوروبا.
محمد صلاح يقود ليفربول لصدارة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز والاقتراب من حسم اللقب الغائب منذ 5 سنوات، وقاد الفريق للتأهل إلى دور الـ16 من بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.
رغم ذلك، حتى الآن محمد صلاح يقترب من نهاية عقده في يونيو المقبل، ولم يقدم ليفربول عرضًا له للبقاء في ملعب أنفيلد.
وفي تصريحات لموقع “جول” العالمي، علق جون آرني ريسه، اللاعب النرويجي السابق وبطل دوري أبطال أوروبا 2005 مع فريق ليفربول على مستقبل محمد صلاح.

وقال ريسه: “لست متأكدًا من مقدار ما فعلوه خلف الكواليس، ربما يحاولون التفاوض مع وكيله، ولكنني أشكك في أستمرار محمد صلاح مع ليفربول”.
وأضاف: “هناك أمور غير مفهومة، بالنظر لتصريحات محمد صلاح، وتصريحات أي شخص آخر من النادي نفسه. من الصعب حقًا فهم ما يحدث. ومن العار أن يخرج هذا النوع من الأشياء إلى الصحافة”.
وأكمل: “إنه لاعب لا يصدق، هو الآن في موقف يسمح له بالرحيل. لا أحد يرغب في أن يكون أفضل لاعبيه في هذا الموقف، لكن على إدارة ليفربول أن تُدرك ذلك”.
وواصل: “إذا رحل محمد صلاح عن ليفربول، أنا متأكد أنه سيذهب إلى السعودية. لقد لعب لـ تشيلسي وفي إيطاليا وقام بدوره في أوروبا مع جميع الأندية التي لعب لها. لذلك أعتقد أنه سيبدأ في تحدي جديد”.
واختتم: “حتى الآن لا أعرف موقف ليفربول، في السابق كنت مقتنعًا بأنه سيوقع. قبل بضعة أسابيع فقط. لكن الأمر يستغرق وقتًا طويلًا لدرجة أنني لست متأكدًا الآن من استمراره”.

أدلى كارلو أنشيلوتي، المدير الفني لفريق ريال مدريد، بتصريحات عقب فوزهم الصعب في مباراة الأمس على أتلتيكو مدريد، في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.
واستضاف ملعب “سانتياجو برنابيو” مباراة الفريقين في ذهاب دور الـ16 من دوري أبطال أوروبا، حيث فاز ريال مدريد بهدفين لهدف.
ويلتقي الفريقان في مباراة الإياب على ملعب “ميتروبوليتانو” يوم الأربعاء 12 مارس الجاري.
وقال أنشيلوتي، في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية: “كانت مباراة صعبة، مثلما هي العادة أمام أتلتيكو مدريد، إنه أمر طبيعي دائمًا، بدأنا بشكل جيد وتقدمنا ثم سجل ألفاريز هدفًا رائعًا”.
وأضاف: “كان الأمر أفضل في الشوط الثاني، عملنا بشكل جيد، كان الهدف هو أن يكون لدينا ميزة صغيرة، وحققنا ذلك (عن طريق التقدم بهدف ثاني)”.
وواصل: “كانت الخطة الأولى هي اللعب على الأطراف عن طريق فينيسيوس ورودريجو، نجحت الخطة في الهجمة الأولى ثم فقدنا صبرنا، فرضنا إيقاع المباراة عندما كان علنيا أن نفعل ذلك وأن نجعل المنافس في نصف ملعبه”.
وأردف: “عمل الفريق بجد ودافع بشكل جيد، كان أتلتيكو مدريد مسيطرًا في بعض الأحيان ولكن دون خلق العديد من الفرص، كان الفريق متماسكًا طوال المباراة تقريبًا”.

وعن سبب تأجيله الدفع بـ لوكا مودريتش بعدما سجل إبراهيم دياز هدفه، وما إذا كان الأخير هو الذي كان ينوي استبداله، قال أنشيلوتي: “لا، كان كامافينجا، لقد انتظرنا قليلًا، ولكن كنت أريد استبدال كامافينجا”.
وأوضح: “كان كامافينجا هو المُراد استبداله لأنه كان يعاني من آلام في ظهره، دخل مودريتش بجودته وأسلوبه”.
واسترسل: “سأتقبل ما حدث في المباراة، لقد كانت صعبة، تخيلوا كيف ستكون المباراة في الإياب، نتمتع بأفضلية صغيرة وسنتطلع إلى التأهل، ستكون مباراة صعبة”.
وشدد: “سيبذل أتليتكو المزيد من الجهد لكنها ستكون مباراة متكافئة، جودة الفريقين عالية للغاية، إنها مباراة في دور الـ16 لكنها قد تكون مباراة نصف نهائي أو نهائي”.
واختتم: “لسنا سعداء بخوض هذه المباراة ضد أتليتكو ولا أعتقد أن أتليتكو سعيد بخوض تلك المباراة أمام ريال مدريد”.
Bangladesh had left out several first-choice picks and looked a bit rusty as they lost by 27 runs

New Zealand saved their best batting display for the last game as they revelled in the leniency showed by Shere Bangla National Stadium curator Gamini Silva. On a pitch much more conducive for strokeplay, they piled up 161 for 5 and beat Bangladesh by 27 runs. Tom Latham struck his second fifty of the series and Finn Allen played a telling innings as well. His 41 off 24 balls gave the visitors the perfect start after they decided to bat first for the fourth time in the series.Bangladesh were, predictably, off colour, having chosen only three specialist bowlers in the XI, leaving nine overs in the care of part-timers. Shoriful Islam, playing for the first time in the series, took two wickets but looked rusty.Chasing 162, Bangladesh made a poor start, leaving too much for the middle-order to do in the last ten overs. Afif Hossain blazed briefly to make an unbeaten 49, but ran out of partners.Ajaz Patel, once again, led the way with 2 for 21 from his four overs, but it was how New Zealand batted that made most of the difference.Allen lives by the sword, dies by the sword Allen promised that he will bat in his own way. He failed to launch in the previous two matches, but lived up to his billing in this game. He began by pulling a Nasum Ahmed half-tracker for six, before taking Shoriful apart with two fours and a six in the fourth over.Allen repeated the dose, hitting Shoriful for another four and six, this time waiting on the slower-ball to hammer it over deep square leg. But Shoriful struck back in the same over, first removing Rachin Ravindra for 17, before clean bowling Allen as well. Against what was the last ball of the powerplay, Allen missed a hoick going across his stumps, staying true to his style.Latham provides final flourish Taking two more wickets, Bangladesh left New Zealand (83 for 4 in the 11th over) with the same problem of the previous four matches. But Latham kept them on track, with a nice blend of ones and twos and boundaries. He added 35 runs for the fifth wicket with Henry Nicholls, who was brilliantly caught behind by Nurul Hasan.Latham then went for the jugular, adding 43 in the last 3.3 overs with Colin McConchie. In the process, the New Zealand stand-in captain raised his second fifty of the series, which has been played on some very tricky pitches. He struck two fours and two sixes, both off Taskin Ahmed in the 19th over and both hammered over midwicket.Bangladesh sink fastThe home side couldn’t adjust to a better pitch, getting bogged down during the powerplay, unable to reach even a six an over. Liton Das finished the series poorly, falling for 10 thanks to Scott Kuggeleijn taking a brilliant one-handed catch at backward point.Soumya Sarkar was also caught at point, cutting at a ball without any balance. Next over, Ben Sears took his maiden T20I wicket, getting Mohammad Naim caught behind for 23. Mushfiqur Rahim became the third batter to fall in as many overs when he holed out to Colin de Grandhomme, off Ravindra. On 48 for 4 at the half-way mark, Bangladesh were sinking fast.NZ douse a brief spark Mahmudullah and Afif revived Bangladesh’s innings with a 63-run fifth wicket stand. There were some breathtaking shots, particularly Afif’s flicked four and six off Sears, which led to two big overs, the 14th and 15th, that yielded 24 for the home side.But when Mahmudullah holed out at sweeper cover for 23, the sting was gone. Nurul and Shamim Hossain made 4 and 2 respectively, before the tail caved in. Afif struck two fours and three sixes in his 33-ball stay.Every New Zealand bowler took a wicket, with Patel and Kuggeleijn taking two each. It was a fine effort, one that they can take to Pakistan for the ODIs and T20Is as encouragement.
Crystal Palace have emerged as a serious contender to land an international defender in January as they look to recover from a poor start to the Premier League season, according to one report.
Crystal Palace see wings clipped
A tricky start to the season has undone much of the good work Oliver Glasner manager in south London at the end of last season, with a confused and toothless Crystal Palace side yet to manage a win in this season’s Premier League. Though they are not the only winless team, they have scored just five times so far this campaign despite shelling out on attacking trio Eddie Nketiah, Ismaila Sarr and Daichi Kamada over the summer.

The same number of goals as struggling Manchester United, they have found the net just once more than Southampton, who are the division’s lowest scorers. At the other end, Dean Henderson has been beaten on 10 occasions and Palace have laboured to three draws, losing four times already, though they did edge past Championship side QPR in the Carabao Cup thanks to Nketiah’s first and, as it stands, only goal for his new side.
There remains plenty of time to turn things around, and there is little pressure on Glasner, with Palace chairman Steve Parish willing to give him time to turn things around at Selhurst Park as he gets to grip with a new-look squad that has yet to truly be used thanks to injuries and form. Now, they are emerging as a potential destination for an out-of-favour star this January.
Palace serious contenders to sign England defender
That comes as Chelsea journalist Simon Phillips has revealed that Palace are one of the most “serious clubs” to watch when it comes to the future of Ben Chilwell.
The England defender was publicly cast out by Enzo Maresca but could not find a move away from Stamford Bridge before the summer transfer window closed, and has now been somewhat sheepishly added back into the Blues’ Premier League squad.
Despite this, it is clear that his future lies away from Stamford Bridge irrespective of his £200,000 a week deal in west London, which runs until 2027. There is quite a queue for his signature, with Crystal Palace, Fulham, Manchester United and Ipswich Town as well as clubs from across Europe keen to bring the 27-year-old defender out of the footballing wilderness.

As it stands, those clubs are all offering loan moves, something that Chelsea are yet to accept, and they are keen for a sale. But the Blues may be forced to consider cut-price options after shelling out £50m for the fullback, as they did with Sterling, who joined Arsenal on loan on deadline day on favourable terms to the Gunners.
Palace may hold an advantage in the race for Chilwell’s signature too, with his agency, CAA Stellar, also representing Palace no.1 Henderson, while they have good working relations with Chelsea after signing Trevoh Chalobah on loan in the summer.
However, a move for either Chilwell or Chalobah would have to be permanent for both to reunite at Selhurst Park, with the Premier League’s rules stating that only one loanee from any single club can be permitted. With Chalobah’s deal already sealed until the end of the season, a change to that seems unlikely, leaving a permanent deal for Chilwell as the only realistic solution.
With Tyrick Mitchell the only recognised left-sided defender in Glasner’s squad, it is clearly an area that will require attention in the winter window, though whether they will be able to negotiate a permanent deal for Chilwell remains to be seen.

The left-arm spinner has a long association with Langer and said the coach has “100 percent” backing
AAP12-Oct-2021Ashton Agar would be “absolutely shattered” if subjected to the sort of public critique directed at Justin Langer, adding he is full of respect for Australia’s coach and his unwavering values.Player unease about Langer and his approach ignited intense speculation about the future of the former Test opener, who is contracted until mid-2022.Langer’s posting of a motivational message on LinkedIn made headlines this week but the issue hit its crescendo in August, when Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley publicly backed Langer to remain coach for the Twenty20 World Cup and Ashes.Hockley, CA chairman Earl Eddings and on-field leaders Tim Paine, Aaron Finch and Pat Cummins even met to discuss “the elephant in the room”.Langer and Australia’s T20 World Cup squad will assemble later this week ahead of their tournament-opener against South Africa on October 23.Agar, a long-time mentee of Langer at both domestic and international level, said he and team-mates know the head coach is listening to feedback and will do “whatever he can to suit the needs of the team”.Related

“You can’t help but respect that and we’ll back him in 100 percent at this tournament and going forward,” Agar told reporters from the UAE. “He’s got strong values and morals as a person and he sticks to them, unwaveringly. Knowing him over 10 years, not a lot has changed.”I respect him a lot for that. We just have to have a bit of understanding around how horrible that experience [in recent months] would have been and respect someone coming out of that and still doing their best.”Langer said he felt like “Superman” earlier this year, having responded to player feedback and tried to clear the air prior to a T20 tour of the Caribbean.But Australia, minus Cummins and several rested stars, suffered lopsided T20 series losses to West Indies and Bangladesh with the heat on Langer most intense while stuck in an Adelaide hotel room for a fortnight.”All the criticism and everything that he’s copped…to be dragged through the media while you’re in quarantine, all of these different things,” Agar said. “If that happened to you or I, we would be absolutely shattered. But speaking to him recently, he’s doing really well.”Selectors included legspinners Adam Zampa and Mitchell Swepson alongside Agar in their World Cup squad.Agar is upbeat the trio, having played together in Bangladesh, could be squeezed into the same XI during the upcoming tournament.”It’s all dependent on the surfaces that we get,” Agar said. “We’ve seen in the IPL now that the wickets are getting a little bit tired, we’ll probably get some fresh wickets for the World Cup. But it wouldn’t be really exciting.”
Tottenham Hotspur proved their breadth of quality in attack rivals any frontline across the country, dispatching West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday.
Admittedly, the Hammers were sorely out of shape, but it was still a triumph that has set the north Londoners back on track after capitulating against Brighton & Hove Albion before the October international break.
Tottenham players celebrate
There’s one man above all others who’s supercharging Postecoglou’s attack: Dejan Kulusevski.
Dejan Kulusevski's performance vs West Ham
Kulusevski has long been regarded as one of Tottenham’s most exciting players but he’s starting to hit his stride this season, with Postecoglou regularly unleashing the typical winger in a more central and dynamic midfield role.
It’s paying off handsomely, with Spurs still lacking fluency and defensive solidity but starting to look more refined and cohesive as a unit.
Against West Ham, this was showcased spectacularly, and Kulusevski was at the heart of his side’s football, awarded an 9/10 match rating by football.london’s Rob Guest, who hailed the Swede’s parity-restoring goal in the first half, his link-up play with skipper Heung-min Son, with his sky-high confidence threading it all together.

The 24-year-old is embracing his more talismanic role in Postecoglou’s system and, with James Maddison hooked at half-time as more purchase was sought, looks like the main man. He might even be shaping into the Lilywhites’ own version of Martin Odegaard.
Ange's own version of Odegaard
Kulusevski’s energy and application make him an indispensable member of the Tottenham team. His comparative raise in prolificness is merely a welcome bonus.
Pundit Graeme Souness once hailed Kulusevski as “De Bruyne-esque” but perhaps such praise could be more aptly attributed to that of the Arsenal captain.
FBref’s number-crunching model has revealed that Odegaard is one of Kulusevski’s most statistically similar midfielders, for both left-footers are natural goalscorers with a ball-carrying expertise and combative streak.
Odegaard has been named Arsenal’s Player of the Season for successive years and is one of the finest and most influential players in the Premier League, and it would be quite a thing for Postecoglou to fashion Kulusevski into a star of a similar ilk.
With two goals across his past three matches in the top flight, the Tottenham sensation will be hoping to sustain this searing-hot run of form and fire his outfit back into the Champions League and toward the deep end of a cup competition.
As you can see from the graphic above, Kulusevski is growing into one of Europe’s finest midfielders, and he could be a real difference-maker for his side across the coming months, perhaps rivalling Odegaard down the line for London’s finest occupant of the playmaking tag.
Spurs thought they had Eriksen's replacement, now he plays in League One
Tottenham have had their fair share of attacking players in recent times.
O Ipatinga, comandada pelo técnico Waguinho Dias, entrou em campo na última quarta-feira, contra o Patrocinense, buscando a permanência na elite do futebol mineiro e continuar vivo na disputa para classificar a semifinal da competição. A partida, atrasada da segunda rodada, se tornou heroica para o Tigre, que perdia até os 43 minutos do segundo tempo e conseguiu uma grande virada.
Com gol sofrido aos oito minutos do primeiro tempo, o Ipatinga precisou ir ao ataque para tentar resolver a permanência dentro de casa, já que a última rodada enfrenta o Athletic fora. Apesar da necessidade, o Tigre só manteve a forma de jogar que vinha apresentando nas partidas da competição, com a bola para frente e de forma ofensiva.

– O estilo dos times que treino são assim, futebol ofensivo, para frente e aqui no Ipatinga não seria diferente. A gente vem apresentando isso em cada partida, nós só não marcamos gols na partida contra o Atlético Mineiro. Contra o Patrocinense foi da mesma forma, apesar do placar negativo que veio no início da partida, nós não deixamos de lutar e buscar o resultado – disse o treinador Waguinho Dias.
Aos 43 do segundo tempo, Alyson marcou um golaço empatando o jogo. Dois minutos depois, Luanderson virou a partida e confirmou a permanência do Ipatinga na elite do futebol Mineiro. Agora, o objetivo do Tigre é outro, classificar para a semifinal e assegurar vaga na Copa do Brasil e Brasileiro da Série D em 2024.
– Asseguramos a nossa vaga para o Mineiro do ano que vem. Em todo o projeto de reconstrução do Ipatinga, esse era um dos objetivos, porque agora os patrocinadores tem uma segurança da exposição de suas marcas, agora ficamos mais abertos para firmar parcerias. Além disso, com o primeiro objetivo alcançado, agora é pensar em uma possível classificação para a semifinal e garantir vagas em competições nacionais. É uma tarefa difícil, mas que vamos lutar até o fim, assim como fizemos a competição inteira – afirmou Waguinho.
O Ipatinga volta a campo, pela última rodada da primeira fase do Campeonato Mineiro, no próximo sábado, às 16h30, contra o Athletic, no estádio Joaquim Portugal. Quarto colocado do grupo C, com nove pontos, dois atrás do líder, o Tigre precisa de uma vitória e torcer para que pelo menos duas equipes, entre Cruzeiro, Tombense e Democrata, não vençamsuaspartidas.
Kapp was bedridden for three days before the final due to illness and then had to deal with the emotional challenge of playing against her wife Dane van Niekerk

Marizanne Kapp takes a break after battling in the heat•Getty Images
Player of the WBBL final Marizanne Kapp revealed that she didn’t leave her hotel room for three days in the lead-up to the final after coming down with an illness following Perth Scorchers trip to Adelaide.Kapp produced a phenomenal effort with both bat and ball scoring a critical 31 not out from 23 balls, including four boundaries, to help lift Scorchers to a competitive total of 5 for 146.She then bowled superbly in the powerplay delivering a maiden over while bowling to her wife, Strikers opener Dane van Niekerk, and finished with match-winning figures of 1 for 25.Kapp revealed she had passed a covid test in the lead-up to the game but was seriously concerned about her health.”On Monday when we travelled back from Adelaide I already wasn’t feeling too great,” Kapp said. “I woke up the next morning and I was so sick, for the last three days I was so sick and I didn’t move out of my room. I knew today was going to be really tough, especially with the heat as well. After the batting, I felt like I was going to pass out, I didn’t feel well at all, but at the end of the day it was worth it.”Kapp was on her haunches after running twos while batting in oppressive 36-degree heat. Teammate Beth Mooney revealed Kapp had Facetimed into the team meeting the day before the game but she was conserving energy in order to be able to play.”I started to show signs of feeling a bit better yesterday and this morning,” Kapp said. “That’s why I decided not to go and train this week because I knew it was going to set me back and I probably would’ve missed today. I knew it was going to be hard and luckily it was worth it.”The victory was bittersweet for Kapp. She had to deal with the emotional toll of having to play against her wife in the final. The pair had faced off twice earlier in the season with Kapp dismissing van Niekerk in both meetings. Kapp got the better of van Niekerk again in the final as they faced each other with both bat and ball. Van Niekerk bowled two balls to Kapp for two singles in Scorchers innings. Van Niekerk got off the mark with a leg glance off Kapp first ball in the chase but then faced a maiden from Kapp in the third over of the innings which stalled the Strikers momentum severely. Kapp beat the outside edge twice in the over and struck van Niekerk on the pad.”It’s never easy,” Kapp said. “When I saw that wicket earlier, I knew with the new ball there was going to be something in it and it will probably get some movement. It’s a tough wicket to get in on, and once you’re in on it becomes a lot easier.”Kapp said she would not hold it over van Niekerk in any way after the victory.”No definitely not,” Kapp said. “I already feel so bad, because I feel like the Strikers were worthy of winning the cup as well, especially the two semi-finals they played, they were absolutely amazing.”
