تشافي: سأقارن ليفاندوفسكي بـ ميسي أو رونالدينيو.. ولا يهمني بيان ريال مدريد

تحدث تشافي هيرنانديز، المدير الفني لفريق برشلونة، لوسائل الإعلام، اليوم السبت، قبل مباراة أتلتيك بلباو غدًا الأحد، ضمن لقاءات الجولة 15 من الدوري الإسباني.

وعن عودة الهداف البولندي روبرت ليفاندوفسكي: “هو بخير، لقد تدرب بشكل طبيعي منذ يوم الخميس وهو في حالة جيدة للغاية، يريد اللعب، إنه لاعب مميز يمثل إضافة حيوية بالنسبة لنا، خاصة في مباراة الغد، بيدري وديمبلي ما زالا غائبين”.

وتابع: “أن أصبح أليكس فيرحسون الخاص ببرشلونة؟ أرى الأمر صعبًا، ولكن آمل، أنا ممتن جدًا للرئيس على كلماته، دائمًا ما يخبرني أنه سعيد بعملي، إنه مخلص، هذا ليس وقت الحديث حول التجديد، لقد تحدثنا بالطبع، لكنني دائمًا أقول نفس الشيء اهدأ وعليك أولا أن تفوز بالألقاب”.

وعن اتهام برشلونة برشوة الحكام وقضية نيجريرا، قال تشافي: “لابورتا أخبرنا أن نركز على كرة القدم، وهذا ما يهمني”.

وبالحديث عن روبرت ليفاندوفسكي مجددا أضاف: “سأقارنه بميسي أو رونالدينيو، إنه قائد وقد غير عقلية الفريق، لقد فزنا بالمباريات بدونه، لكننا افتقدناه كثيرًا، إنه لاعب يحدث فرقًا كبيرًا بالنسبة لنا.”

وعن الصفقات الممكنة: “غالبًا ما أتحدث مع الرئيس لابورتا، نتحدث أيضًا عن التخطيط، سنحاول تعزيز الفريق في الصيف، المراكز التي نتحدث عنها هي ظهير وقلب دفاع ومهاجم، وهي التي نعطيها الأولوية”.

وواصل: “أليماني (المدير الرياضي) يقوم بعمل استثنائي، إنه قائد وشخص موثوق به ولديه خبرة، أنا معه كل يوم تقريبًا وأعتقد أنه يحب وظيفته، آمل أن يستمر لسنوات عديدة”.

واختتم بالحديث عن بيان ريال مدريد بشأن اتهام برشلونة في قضية الحكام وإنريكيز نيجريرا: “هذا لن يزعزع استقرارنا، نحن نهتم إذا كان شيئا يتعلق بفينيسيوس أو تيبو كورتوا أو لوكا مودريتش”.

Última vitória do Botafogo sobre o América-MG teve três gols de Sassá

MatériaMais Notícias

Faz mais de dois anos. Na última vez que o Botafogo superou o América-MG, o cenário do time era parecido. Não havia a crise dos tempos atuais, até porque era uma partida pela oitava rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, e não um duelo próximo da reta final da competição, como agora.

De lá para cá, o Glorioso foi derrotado duas vezes, ambas por 1 a 0 e fora de casa: no segundo turno de 2016 e no primeiro turno deste ano. Mas naquela ocasião, a percepção geral era de que o time então comandado por Ricardo Gomes brigaria contra o rebaixamento.

E nem havia tanta contestação quanto a isso pelo que a equipe, retornante à primeira divisão nacional, apresentava. Mas o técnico se transferiu para o São Paulo, Jair Ventura assumiu, remodelou a equipe e a classificou à Copa Libertadores da América.

No jogo em questão, Sassá, hoje no Cruzeiro, marcou três gols, sendo dois de pênalti. Do grupo que foi à Volta Redonda e seguem no time, Luis Ricardo foi titular, assim como Leandrinho. Fernandes entrou no segundo tempo, e hoje está emprestado.

Adam Hollioake, the former England allrounder, has made an emotional appeal for the return of stolen cricket kit belonging to his late brother, Ben.Ben Hollioake’s cricket kit was stolen from his parents’ home in Perth, Western Australia and was among their most treasured possessions following his death in a car accident ten years ago.Adam Hollioake told ESPNcricinfo that, by Wednesday night in Perth, Western Australia police had recovered “two small bags” of kit, but that much remains missing, to the revulsion of cricket figures in both England and Australia who have launched a mass campaign on social media to recover all of it.The newspaper has reported: “It is understood the secure parking area of the apartment building where Ben’s parents Daria and John reside was broken into sometime between 6.30pm on Tuesday and 8.45am today.”Police said a storeroom within the First Avenue address in Applecross had been forced open and boxes searched. The thieves then removed Ben’s cricket bag before fleeing with their loot. Just before 6pm police said they had executed a search warrant and as a result had recovered some of the items.”Adam Hollioake sounded distraught when he took to Twitter in a plea for help to recover Ben’s old England gear, including sweaters, shirts, helmets and bats.”I need all my Facebook friends & twitter followers to trawl eBay & any other site where these little maggots might be trying to sell his stuff,” Hollioake tweeted. “Let’s make sure they have stolen a ticking time bomb!! I am a fair dude and if someone comes to me & wants food or drink they can sit at my table & eat with me…But you upset my Mumma and I will f*** your s*** up!!!The appeal brought an immediate response with a host of cricket figures expressing their anger.Stuart Broad, the England allrounder, tweeted: “His old playing shirts and stuff must mean so much to his family. To think that someone could have the nerve to rob them is sick.”Broad’s England bowling colleague, James Anderson, said: “Can’t believe someone would steal Ben Hollioake’s England kit from his parents house. Please help get it back.”Ben Hollioake, before his death at 24, promised to be one of the most charismatic England cricketers of the age, briefly drawing comparisons with Ian Botham after a thrilling debut, at 19, in a one-day international against Australia at Lord’s in 1997. He was killed in a car accident in South Perth in March 2002.After some of the equipment was discovered, Adam Hollioake tweeted his thanks. “Can’t thank you all and the media for the amazing response to my bro’s stolen kit,” he said. “Without u there is doubt we would have retrieved any of his kit back.”You are all truly amazing & on behalf of my family i would like to thank you all. Don’t mess with my friends on twitter…they r all badass ;-)”

Pomersbach detained over alleged assault

Luke Pomersbach, the Royal Challengers Bangalore batsman, has been detained by Delhi police following allegations that he assaulted a US national and her fiance

The IPL career of Luke Pomersbach, the Royal Challengers Bangalore batsman, has been placed in the balance after he was detained by the Delhi police on Friday and charged with assault on a woman and her fiance. Pomersbach was produced in a Delhi court, where he was granted interim bail, and was also suspended by the IPL franchise for the rest of this tournament.The case was filed by a US national, who alleged that Pomersbach assaulted her and her fiance in their room at the team hotel on Thursday night after the match against Delhi Daredevils.”A US national, staying at Hotel Maurya, was molested by Luke Pomersbach, an Australian player of RCB, when they were partying in her room,” the Delhi police said in a statement. “When her fiancé Sahil intervened he too was boxed by Luke. A case under Sections 354, 323, 454 and 511 IPC [Indian Penal Code] registered at the Chanakyapuri police station.”Vijay Mallya, the owner of Royal Challengers, said the franchise would co-operate fully with the authorities. “Royal Challengers Bangalore regrets the incident involving Luke Pomersbach. We will ensure full co-operation with the concerned authorities so that a fair investigation takes place and the issue is disposed off in accordance with law,” Vijay Mallya said in Delhi. “Pending disposal of this matter Luke Pomersbach will not take the field for the team.”The IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla said the league was “not responsible” for the alleged incident. “There was no official party hosted by the IPL. It’s the behaviour of an individual, let the police handle it. We will wait for the report from the police and then react.”The couple alleging the assault were reportedly injured and have been admitted to a local hospital. Pomersbach, who has not played a game for Royal Challengers this season, was reportedly taken to hospital for a medical test and was later seen with his arm in a sling.By Sharda UgraIt’s been a crazy week for the IPL. A sting operation by a TV channel that led to the suspension of five cricketers was followed by verbal fisticuffs between Shah Rukh Khan and officials of the Mumbai Cricket Association and an IPL player, Luke Pomersbach, being detained by the Delhi police on charges of having assaulted a guest at the team hotel.There is much about the IPL that is worthy of criticism and scrutiny. To believe that the SRK-MCA bust-up and the charges against Pomersbach, though, are the lone by-products of the IPL is to believe in a world where hunger strikes are rational 21st century responses. Yes, had there been no IPL, the skirmish at the Wankhede and Pomersbach’s own indiscretions may never have happened. Yet there are no guarantees either that any of the protagonists in Mumbai and Delhi would not have acted in this manner elsewhere – at another time and in another place.The IPL is not the only sports league in the world offering insane salaries and party lifestyles. European football, the NFL and the NBA, to name a few, are full of stories of the kind the IPL has produced this week. These leagues are decades old but the IPL, into its fifth year, is just beginning to identify its conflict zones. It is what happens when money, power, alcohol and entertainment meet entitlement.The IPL won’t go away because a few hundred people don’t like its cricket or its trappings. It is a part of cricket’s business, the players love it and the public laps it up. The Wankhede ban against Shah Rukh is cricket closing ranks and, similarly, Kirti Azad’s rousing promise in Parliament that he would go on a hunger strike if the IPL were not stopped is empty theatrics. What we must accept is that there could be more such incidents over the next few years of the IPL – what it needs now is for its governors to be mature, proactive and decisive. The IPL is growing up; it needs to be handled, but it can’t be run or dictated to by children.

Arran Brindle struck an unbeaten 40 to help England Women win the third ODI against India Women and maintain their hopes of victory in the five-match series. Danielle Wyatt struck the winning runs with 16 balls remaining as England succeeded where they had failed 24 hours earlier, cutting India’s lead to 2-1 ahead of the fourth ODI in Truro on Sunday.England went into the series on a seven-match winning streak in one-day cricket but failed to defend 229 in a tight finish at Lord’s and then came up short attempting to chase down 130 on a slow Taunton pitch. After reaching 100 for 2 in the 27th over of the third ODI, England made hard work of reaching their target of 174. Tammy Beaumont top-scored with 44 but the hosts lost four wickets for 28 in a late stumble, as Brindle battled stoically to get them over the line.After another poor start that saw India slip to 47 for 4, captain Mithali Raj hit her second unbeaten ninety of the series to rescue the innings. She was the only India batsman to pass 24, combining with Reema Malhotra for a 71-run partnership, then adding adding 55 with wicketkeeper Sulakshana Naik in 8.2 overs at the end. However, despite economical and penetrative spells from Gouher Sultana, Nagarajan Niranjana and Archana Das, it wasn’t quite enough.

ميدو يهاجم بيان الهلال السوداني.. ويصرح: يؤكد رعبكم من الأهلي

هاجم أحمد حسام ميدو لاعب ومدرب الزمالك الأسبق ومقدم البرامج الرياضية الحالي، البيان الصادر من مسؤولي نادي الهلال السوداني، مؤكدًا أنه يدل على رعب الفريق من مواجهة الأهلي المقبلة.

بيان نادي الهلال | الهلال السوداني يُخاطب الاتحاد الإفريقي بشأن تهديدات جماهير الأهلي

وقال ميدو في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “المحور” عبر برنامج “الريمونتادا”: “رسالة خاصة للأخوة في السودان، بعد بيان نادي الهلال، أؤكد أن مصر كلها تريد أن يفوز الأهلي”.

وأضاف: “هذا البيان لا يصح أن يصدر من إدارة الهلال السوداني، والتعليقات الموجودة على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي، من قال لكم إنها تعليقات من جماهير الأهلي، وارد أن تكون من حسابات مزيفة”.

وأردف: “مصر تفتح أبوابها للجميع دون أي حدود، هي البلد العربية الوحيدة التي تفتح بابها للجميع، ومصر ستظل دائما محتضنة كل من يلجأ إليها”.

وتابع: “لا يوجد شخص من الأخوة السودانيين الذين يعيشون في مصر، يشعر أنه عايش خارج بلده، بيان الهلال خائب ولا لزوم له وفريق الهلال سيتم معاملته على أفضل نحو في القاهرة ولن تتعرض البعثة لأي شيء”.

وأتم: “بيان نادي الهلال السوداني يُثبت أن الهلال مرعوب من الأهلي، وعلاقة مصر والسودان أكبر من كرة القدم”.

واختتم: “أتمنى الهلال يركز في الكرة فقط، وأيا كانت النتيجة سنصافحكم بعد اللقاء”.

ويستعد الأهلي لاستضافة الهلال يوم السبت الأول من أبريل في سادس جولات دور المجموعات ببطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

Pujara, Rohit likely for New Zealand Tests

Rahul Dravid’s retirement earlier this year has spared the current selection committee major headaches as they sit together to pick their last Test team before the end of their term

Cheteshwar Pujara is likely to fill the gap left by Rahul Dravid for the upcoming Test series•AFP

Rahul Dravid’s retirement earlier this year has spared the current selection committee major headaches as they sit together to pick their last Test team before the end of their term. After the eight straight losses overseas, the demand for change and youth was natural, but the vacancy created by Dravid’s retirement will allow them to pick three new batsmen for the New Zealand series without having to make a tough call. Tough calls will be left for the team management who will prune the 15 to 11 on the eve of the first Test, which begins on August 23.Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir are likely to continue as the preferred openers, VVS Laxman is almost certain to retain his middle-order place, and Cheteshwar Pujara will be the only addition to the batting group that toured Australia. Rohit Sharma, who was the next man in should India have made changes in Australia, is likely to retain his Test slot despite a desperately disappointing limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka. The selection of the XI is some way off, but Pujara’s return from injury and his mature knocks on tough West Indies pitches during the A tour might have pushed him ahead of Rohit and Ajinkya Rahane in the pecking order. As expected, Sachin Tendulkar will make his return to international cricket after he last played in the Asia Cup in March.R Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha, who formed a successful spin duo in home Tests against West Indies last year, are likely to be backed up by Rahul Sharma in the reserves. Zaheer Khan and Umesh Yadav will be the two first-choice quicks. Ishant Sharma, recovering from an ankle injury, is not expected to pass fit, which means Ashok Dinda might find a place in the reserves.Although the BCCI’s release didn’t say so, the selectors are also likely to discuss the squad for next month’s World Twenty20. They might or might not make the announcement tomorrow, but this is likely to be a more complex discussion. For starters, they will have to take a call on the emotional favourite Yuvraj Singh’s return after his recovery from a rare germ-cell cancer. Yuvraj has been training in Bangalore, but is yet to test his match fitness, so he remains a long shot if only because of the risk involved and the magnitude of the tournament.There is room for discussing various combinations in the Twenty20 squad, especially in the bowling department. They could look at other T20 specialists, but the 15 who played in Sri Lanka start off as favourites for retention.Likely Test squad: MS Dhoni (capt/wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, VVS Laxman, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, R Ashwin, Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav, Pragyan Ojha, Rahul Sharma, Ashok DindaLikely T20 squad: MS Dhoni (capt/wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Manoj Tiwary, Irfan Pathan, R Ashwin, Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav, Pragyan Ojha, Rahul Sharma, Ashok Dinda
