أعلن نادي مانشستر سيتي، في بيان رسمي منذ قليل، معاناة اثنين من لاعبي الفريق من إصابة، لينضما إلى قائمة إصابات ضربت السكاي بلو بشكل مبكر للغاية في الموسم الحالي.

وتعرض مانشستر سيتي للهزيمة على يد برايتون، أمس، بهدفين لهدف في الجولة الثالثة من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وبعد المباراة، أعلن المدرب بيب جوارديولا أن اللاعب ريان شرقي سيغيب عن الملاعب نحو شهرين، فيما أكد المنتخب الفرنسي استبعاده من المعسكر الدولي لكونه يعاني من تمزق في عضلة الفخذ الرباعية.

– Estou feliz no Botafogo. Mas é fundamental termos paciência. Para construirmos uma equipe vencedora, é preciso tempo. Eu sei que os resultados são muito importantes no Botafogo, mas paciência também precisa ser porque só ela pode nos levar a grandes resultados. Para projetarmos o Botafogo a um futuro cada vez melhor – salientou.

– O Botafogo sempre esteve no meu imaginário. O Brasil sempre me apaixonou. É um país pentacampeão do mundo, que produziu, ao longo do tempo, grandes jogadores. Dentre eles, Garrincha, Jairzinho, Nilton Santos, Amarildo, Didi, para citar só alguns, foram estrelas do Botafogo – lembrou.

– O Botafogo é um dos meus maiores desafios na carreira. Construir uma equipe, construir um centro de treinos, construir um conjunto de infraestruturas para suportar a equipe são desafios enormes. A oportunidade surgiu através de John Textor, que é o novo dono do clube. Fui chamado para ajudar na reconstrução do Botafogo. Para, juntos, deixarmos para trás os momentos difíceis que o clube tinha vivido e projetá-lo a bons níveis de produção, tornando-se capaz de fazer bons campeonatos no Brasileirão. O Botafogo é um dos maiores desafios na carreira – acrescentou.

No primeiro ano, o clube carioca conseguiu a manutenção na primeira divisão e a classificação para a Copa Sul-Americana. Com isso, valorizou a chance de reconstruir um dos maiores times do Brasil em meio a um dos “campeonatos mais difíceis do mundo”

– O Brasileirão talvez seja um dos campeonatos mais difíceis do mundo. É servido de bons jogadores, mas o jogo parte-se muito. Anda muito em jogo de transições. Os jogos também são muito emocionais, a dimensão de rendimento psicológica tem uma grande interferência em cada uma das partidas. Muitas vezes, perde-se aquela racionalidade do jogo, em que nós queremos controlá-lo através da bola, chegar à baliza quando entendemos fazê-lo. Os adversários são muito pressionantes e levam o jogo muito para essas transições. Rapidamente, percebemos que também tínhamos que ter jogadores de transição para nos opormos às equipes que jogam permanentemente em transição. Temos que trabalhar um pouco diferente porque o contexto é diferente – finalizou.

أعلن نادي تشيلسي منذ قليل عن صفقة جديدة ، وذلك من أجل تدعيم خط هجوم الفريق في اليوم الأخير من سوق الانتقالات الصيفية الحالي.

تشيلسي كان نشطًا بشكل كبير خلال فترة الميركاتو الصيفي الجاري وتعاقد مع عدد من اللاعبين كان آخرهم ضم أليخاندرو جارناتشو قادمًا من صفوف مانشستر يونايتد مقابل 40 مليون يورو.

وأعلن نادي تشيلسي بشكل رسمي عن التعاقد مع فاكوندو بونانوتي، صانع ألعاب نادي برايتون، وذلك على سبيل الإعارة لمدة عام واحد، مع وجود خيار الشراء النهائي في نهاية شهر يونيو من العام المقبل.

بونانوتي كان قد أمضى الموسم الماضي معارًا من نادي برايتون مع ليستر سيتي، حيث قدم اللاعب الأرجنتيني الشاب مستويات متميزة مع الثعالب.

ويستطيع بونانوتي اللعب في مركزي الجناح الأيمن وكذلك صانع الألعاب، مما يتيح تنوعًا كبيرًا لخط هجوم تشيلسي هذا الموسم.

بونانوتي عبر عن سعادته الكبيرة بالتوقيع لتشيلسي، حيث قال لموقع النادي الرسمي: ”أنا سعيد جدًا بالانضمام إلى تشيلسي. إنها فرصة رائعة لي، وأتطلع إلى تعزيز الفريق قدر الإمكان، ومساعدة الفريق والجهاز الفني”.

شارك فرانكو ماستانتونو نجم ريال مدريد بشكل أساسي في فوز منتخب الأرجنتين على فنزويلا بثلاثية نظيفة في إطار تصفيات أمريكا الجنوبية المؤهلة لكأس العالم 2026.

وأتيحت الفرصة لنجم ريال مدريد للمساهمة مع منتخب الأرجنتين على ملعب مونيمنتال معقل ناديه السابق ريفر بلات حيث شارك الملعب مع نجمه المفضل ليونيل ميسي.

وفي حديثه لوسائل الإعلام بعد المباراة، عبر ماستانتونو عن سعادته بحصوله على فرصة اللعب أساسياً لأول مرة مع منتخب الأرجنتين إلى جانب ليونيل ميسي وفي ملعبه السابق.

وكان ميسي يخوض على الأرجح مباراته الأخيرة مع الأرجنتين على أرض الأرجنتين مما زاد من أهمية هذا الحدث.

وقال ماستانتونو في تصريحات بعد المباراة نقلتها صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية: “كان اللعب إلى جانبه أمرا رائعا، بصراحة كان حلم حياتي، اللعب على ملعب ريفر بلات”.

وأضاف :”لطالما قلت إن ميسي هو قدوتي منذ الصغر، تابعته طوال مسيرته الكروية ورأيته يلعب بهذه الطريقة”.

ورد ماستانتونو نجم ريال مدريد حول اللحظة التي جمعته بميسي عندما اختار التسديد على المرمى بدلاً من تمرير الكرة له حيث عبر عن استياء لاعب إنتر ميامي: “لقد أراد قتلي، لكنه تفهم، اعتذرت عن هذه اللعبة”.

وكان ماستانتونو قد انضم إلى ريال مدريد الصيف الماضي قادماً من ريفر بلات وبدأ بقوة حيث بدأ أساسياً في مباراتين من أصل ثلاث مباريات خاضها الفريق في الدوري الإسباني.

Além do alto aproveitamento de Luis Suárez no início de sua passagem pelo Grêmio (sete gols em cinco partidas), a dedicação demonstrada nos jogos chama a atenção. Rendendo, inclusive, elogios consideráveis do técnico Renato Portaluppi.

Na entrevista coletiva após a goleada por 3 a 0 sobre o Aimoré, no último sábado (4), Renato apontou que a postura do artilheiro da equipe na temporada é um “tapa na cara” de qualquer atleta que não se esforce ao máximo dentro de campo.

O técnico do Imortal afirmou, ainda, que esse tipo de comportamento faz naturalmente com que ele tenha um grau de exigência maior com atletas mais jovens, dado o exemplo de Suárez:

-É um tapa na cara de quem não gosta de correr e se acomoda no campo. O cara tem 36 anos, ganhou tudo na vida e dá aquele pique no fim do jogo. O vencedor tem isso na cabeça dele. Exemplo não só para os nossos aqui, no Brasil todo. Como não vou cobrar do mais jovens? – declarou o treinador.

A próxima oportunidade que Luisito e o Grêmio terão de manter o aproveitamento intacto na temporada 2023 será na quarta-feira (8), diante do Juventude, em Caxias do Sul.

O Internacional volta à disputa da Libertadores com ambições ousadas. Apesar da dolorida eliminação para o Caxias, na semifinal do Campeonato Gaúcho, o presidente Alessandro Barcellos entende que a temporada é longa e o clube precisa pensar adiante.

– Lutamos muito para chegar até aqui. Tivemos planejamento, e nossa entrega no Campeonato Brasileiro (time foi vice-campeão em 2022, atrás do Palmeiras) é uma prova disso. Precisamos virar essa página ruim de uma eliminação (para o Caxias). Não tenho dúvida que vamos em busca do tricampeonato. Iremos lutar muito por isso, é o nosso objetivo – disse.

Both Rizwan and Afridi also praise Zaman Khan who defended 12 in the final over to give Qalandars’ their second successive PSL title

Umar Farooq19-Mar-2023

After his side lost the 2023 PSL final to Lahore Qalandars by one run, Multan Sultans captain Mohammad Rizwan has tagged Shaheen Shah Afridi’s unbeaten 15-ball 44 the “turning point” of the match. Rizwan also gave credit to Zaman Khan who defended 12 in the final over to give Qalandars their second successive title.In a game where the momentum swung from one side to the other more than once, Rizwan’s dismissal too played a big part in the result. Chasing 201, Sultans were 122 for 2, in the 13th over, when an excellent catch by David Weise at the long-on boundary sent him back.”Turning point was Shaheen’s innings that took away the momentum,” Rizwan said in the post-match press conference. “We did manage to make things easy for us at one stage. Unfortunately, my bat turned in my hand and I couldn’t get enough power behind the shot. But he [Wiese] took a brilliant catch and that’s why the game was with them.Related

“You should give credit to Zaman Khan for the way he bowled that over. I have seen very few bowlers who have saved 13 runs from six balls, but he has been doing this a lot since the last two seasons, 11 from six balls, 15 from six, 13 from six.”In the end, you can’t blame anyone or nitpick the mistakes when it went so close. The difference of one run is maybe because they have slightly more passion than our team, a bit more effort. There was obviously something different that the result went their way. When you lose or win by one run, you can’t complain because it means both sides played good cricket, so sometimes we can safely put that on fate.”This season, Afridi surprised everyone with his batting. He spent a lot of time in the nets working on his big-hitting. In the league stage, he promoted himself up the order on a few occasions and did the same in the final as well.Afridi wasn’t even padded up when Sikandar Raza got out in the 15th over, leaving the side at 112 for 5. Weise was about to walk in next when Afridi emerged from behind and stopped him. The move paid off as Afridi’s knock helped Qalandars post 200.”Obviously we know Weise and Rashid [Khan] are someone who can score quickly even when there are only a few balls left. But in some games, I felt if I go in before them, it would be better for the team,” Afridi said. “And whenever I try something, I have the complete backing of [head caoch] Aaqib [Javed] and [COO] Sameen [Rana] .”In fact, I had only one pad on. But I stopped him [Weise] because since Khushdil [Shah] was bowling, I didn’t want to give away an extra wicket. I thought if I could connect a couple, we could put them under pressure. And that’s exactly what happened.”In the last two overs of the match, Sultans needed 35 runs. Haris Rauf went for 22 in the 19th but Zaman kept his nerve.”Haris is not just Pakistan’s best bowler, he is the world’s best bowler,” Afridi said. “He has always won the games for his team, be it for Pakistan, Lahore Qalandars, or in any other league or even county cricket. I have always had blind trust in him, he always does well in such situations. Going for 22 in one over doesn’t change that.”We were also lagging behind the over rate. But the way Zaman has improved, and the way he delivered in that last over, full credit goes to him because we only had four fielders outside the circle.”All that meant, Afridi became the first captain to win back-to-back PSL titles. For his growth as captain, he thanked Aaqib and Rana.”Aaqib and Sameen have played a big role,” Afridi said. “They guided me as a player, groomed me as vice-captain for two years, and then handed me the captaincy. At times, there were bigger names in the team, like [Mohammad] Hafeez , and I shouldn’t have been leading the side. So when you get it, you should grab it, and if the team has trust in you, then you should lead them to the best [of your abilities].”

Thrilling draw offers encouragement for one team, respite for the other

Vithushan Ehantharajah07-May-2023

Glamorgan wore their disappointment proudly. Yorkshire’s relief trailed them like a soon-to-be discarded bow tie. Even as the end of this match came, Yorkshire clinging on nine down, Glamorgan clawing at that final wicket, here were two teams at the climax of an engaging final day at Headingley still saving face.Both remain winless in Division Two, but Glamorgan have far more to hold onto. This was their most impressive performance of the season so far, bossing Yorkshire throughout, and they perhaps only have themselves to blame for not finishing the job. The hosts will be happier overall, particularly when a batting line-up ransacked for 106 inside 31 overs a couple of days ago stood up for 96 overs, thriving for an outside shot of their 492 target, then surviving as matters got serious.The former and, by proxy, the latter was down to stand-in captain Adam Lyth, whose magnificent 174 was head and shoulders above anything anyone from Yorkshire managed over these four days. He is due to hand over the armband to Shan Masood who arrives this week, but the form and the example set can go a long way to holding together a listless dressing room.Two weeks after a fourth-innings knock of 69 not out that would have taken Yorkshire over the line against Sussex had the weather not intervened, he has saved the club from some further on-field introspection. Rarely has a club had to wake up every morning and check the papers to gauge its level of crisis. It will be of some consolation they can browse Monday’s offerings without any mention of being the bottom-ranked side in the country. Thanks to avoiding a second defeat of the season and picking up eight points, they are 17th out of 18.There was a moment when the worst came to mind. Lyth’s departure triggered what looked a terminal collapse. But Jordan Thompson stood up with an entertaining blend of cold-blooded resistance and hot-headed shot-making, bringing up 51 in 50 deliveries thanks to 10 fours and a six, before playing out a tantilising final over from Michael Neser to drag Yorkshire to safety. Only after he blocked the final delivery did he show any emotion, turning to the home dressing room immediately to punch the air.As valiant a final day as it was for Yorkshire, it was also worthy of lament. The capitulation after tea of 6 for 134 inside 27.2 overs was a bleak reminder of the fallibility of this group. The fight is commendable, but things should not have got this close.Glamorgan’s persistence pushed the match right to the limits, with four wickets for Timm van der Gugten and three to James Harris. But it is hard not to look back at the culmination of day three and spot an error of judgement. Had they pulled out earlier – rains came, with stumps eventually called following their declaration on 352 for 2 – they might have already been on the road back to Cardiff with something to sing about. Given the cloud cover at that point and the lack of it throughout Sunday, they could have nipped early wickets, as they did on the evening of day one when Yorkshire were 62 for 5.Wise after the event? No doubt. Lyth could have been out of action before we arrived on the final day. Then again, he could have been dismissed on 49 when Harris just missed a caught-and-bowled chance, and definitely should have been on his way for 69 when Marnus Labuschagne dropped the simplest of chances at second slip off van der Gugten.Was the chase of 492 ever “on”? You know what – yes. Probably. Certainly when Neser, first change after 12 overs, was driven through the covers for four and then hooked over backward square leg for six by Lyth. Neser, fresh after almost 48-hours with his feet up following 7 for 32 in the first innings, was supposed to be integral to Glamorgan’s search for 10 wickets in 96 overs. And here Lyth was, dashing him around to all parts. A hat-trick and career-best figures in the first innings, followed by 23 thankless overs in the second – what a sport.It was still “on” when Lyth moved to a 30th first-class century off delivery number 135, wasting little time in the nervous nineties or even the anxious eighties with six fours taking him from 76 to 102 in 12 legitimate deliveries.By then, he had George Hill for company. The allrounder was engaging throughout, facilitating Lyth who brutally exposed Andrew Salter’s flaws, smashing him for two fours and two sixes across two overs. The assault took their partnership into three figures and forced David Lloyd to pull his offspinner out of the attack immediately.However, a dart at the target was now an outside bet given the loss of Jonny Bairstow. England’s butcherer of fourth-innings chases last summer strode out after lunch, a break brought on by Finlay Bean’s dismissal to leave Yorkshire 99 for 1. With 393 more needed, Bairstow, in at No. 3, had a clear remit. Nine balls in, an attempt to cart van der Gugten through cover resulted in a slip catch to Labuschagne. Glamorgan went wild, Yorkshire sighed.Out walked Hill, ahead of the more established Saud Shakeel and Dawid Malan, presumably to keep the right-left thing going. A straight drive for four off his first delivery gave us all we needed to know about intentions.He certainly didn’t need the generosity of full tosses and long hops from Labuschagne bowling offies before tea. Fours off the first four deliveries of the last over of the middle session drew cheers from those bathing in the sun on the north-east corner. The second, punched through midwicket, took Hill to a sixth score of fifty or more – and second of the season.The requirement in the final session of 38 overs was still a daunting 252 to go. Hill was livid when he fell 16 deliveries after the restart – edging a drive through to keeper Chris Cooke for van der Gugten’s third – though Malan’s appearance as the eighth-ranked T20I batter in the world did make you wonder what fireworks we might see on Sunday evening. At the other end, 2022’s men’s Hundred MVP was still playing his shots, moving past 150 for the eighth time in his career.Just as the rate had moved above up to eight an over, Malan was trapped lbw by former Middlesex colleague Harris. Then, at 5.25pm, Lyth was given out trapped in front for Jamie McIlroy’s first, with a second right after as Dom Bess pocketed a king pair. Thompson got behind his first delivery, ensuring there was no second Glammy hat trick.Inexplicably, a Glamorgan victory was back on the table: four wickets needed in 17 overs. The second new ball was taken two overs later and given straight to van der Gugten and Neser.Saud Shakeel and Thompson set about seeing things out in their own way, inexplicably going shot for shot in a fifty stand that took just 51 deliveries, thanks largely to Thompson’s propensity to swing at anything in the slot.After 13 were scored from Neser’s third over with the new ball, Harris was brought back in at the Rugby Stand End and snicked Shakeel through to Labuschagne with his second delivery. With his sixth, Matt Fisher was lbw for another pair.And then calm, out of nowhere. The sun came out to bathe us from the west, Thompson thumped an 11th boundary to move to first fifty of the campaign. Mickey Edwards, too, struck three boundaries of his own. Then, to the final delivery of the penultimate over, he decided to leave van der Gugten.Off stump was knocked back and into the final over we went, Thompson on strike with an injured Ben Coad watching on helplessly at the other end. A couple shot off the seam and through to the keeper, but Thompson held firm.
