الزمالك: دعم رئيس لجنة الحكام للبنا يثير الشكوك.. وسنخوض مباراة الأهلي في حالة واحدة

أكد أحمد سالم، المتحدث الرسمي باسم مجلس إدارة نادي الزمالك أنه لم يتم تجديد تعاقد حارس المرمى محمد صبحي، نافيًا ما يتردد بشأن استياء لاعبي الفريق من المدير الفني جوزيه جوميز. 

وأوضح سالم في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “أون تايم سبورتس 2”: “حتى الآن لم يتم رسميًا تفعيل بند الشراء في عقد محمد شحاتة”.

وشدد على أنه خلال أيام سيتم الإعلان عن ما سيحدث مع أسرة علاء العطار مشجع الزمالك الراحل.

وأضاف: “موقف الزمالك من مباراة الأهلي كما هو ولم يتغير قيد أنملة، الأمر ليس له علاقة بالنادي الأهلي ولا مباراة القمة، وسيكون نفس موقفنا ولن يكون هناك أي تغيير لو كنا سنواجه أي فريق آخر”.

وتابع: “المنظومة كلها تعاني من مشاكل كبيرة جدًا، مثل التحكيم وتلاحق المباريات بشكل مكثف جدًا، زادت الأخطاء بدرجة لا يمكن تحملها ولا يوجد تفسير مقنع”.

مصدر مقرب من سامسون لـ”بطولات”: لم يهرب من الزمالك.. ووسيط قد يحل الأزمة

وعلق: “موقف جديد وغير مفهوم، لجنة الحكام قامت بتعيين محمود البنا وأحمد الغندور في إدارة مباريات بدورة الترقي، وقيل أن فيتور بيريرا قام بدعمهما لأنهما حكام دوليون، في حين هو نفسه يوم 17 مارس الماضي قام بإيقاف محمود البنا بسبب أخطاء بسيطة جدًا وساذجة في مباراة الأهلي والبنك الأهلي”.

وواصل: أيهما أولى؟ أن تصدر قرارًا بإيقافه بعد خطأ فادح مثل خطأ مباراة الزمالك والمصري وتقرر إيقافه بسبب أخطاء لا تذكر في مباراة سابقة، أريد من بيريرا تبرير ذلك والإجابة على سؤال لماذا يدعمه اليوم وقام بإيقافه قبل ذلك”.

وتابع: “أما عن تحويل تقرير الحكم بخصوص تصرف جوزيه جوميز إلى لجنة الانضباط، فـ حتى الآن لم يصدر أي شيء رسمي، ولكنه أمر غريب جدًا أن تترك الحدث الأبرز في المباراة سواء هدف صحيح ملغي وضربة جزاء كان يمكن أن تغير من نتيجة المباراة وإنذارت بلا أي داع وتتجاوز عن كل ذلك وكل ما لفت نظرك موقف على الخط ما بين المدير الفني والحكم الرابع، أمر يثير علامة استفهام كثيرة جدًا”.

واستكمل: “لم يحدث أي تواصل رسمي من قبل رابطة الأندية مع نادي الزمالك بشأن خوض مباراة القمة وموقفنا ثابت بعدم خوض مباراة الأهلي”.

واستطرد: “بعد التحقيق مع محمد عواد، يوم السبت المقبل سنعلن عن كل شيء، محمد عبد الواحد هو المنوط بالقرارات الانضباطية، والقرار سيصدر بما يتفق مع الذي حدث ولائحة نادي الزمالك”.

وأتم: “الاستجابة لكل المطالب بلا استثناء هو الذي يثني الزمالك عن قراره ويجعله يلعب مباراة القمة”.

ويستعد الزمالك لخوض مواجهة مساء اليوم الجمعة أمام فاركو، يعقبها مباراة أمام الأهلي في الجولة 26 من عمر الدوري المصري المقرر لها مساء الثلاثاء المقبل.

Presidente e gestor do Santos viajam ao Rio de Janeiro de carro

MatériaMais Notícias

Ao invés de acompanharem a delegação do Santos de avião ao Rio de Janeiro, onde o Peixe enfrenta o Fluminense neste domingo (25), às 16h, no estádio do Maracanã, o presidente Orlando Rollo e o membro do Comitê Gestor, Mário Badures, optaram por pegar a estrada até o local da partida.

De acordo com publicações em suas redes sociais, a iniciativa da dupla teve como finalidade contingenciar gastos do clube. No total, serão cerca de 1000km entre ida e volta, com aproximadamente 14 horas de percurso.

Desde que assumiu o Alvinegro no que chama de “gestão de transição”, Orlando Rollo só deixou de ir na vitória santista por 3 a 2 sobre o Olimpia (PAR), no estádio Manuel Ferreira, em Assunção, no dia 01º de outubro, pela quinta rodada do grupo G da Conmebol Libertadores, partida que garantiu a classificação do Peixe às oitavas de final do torneio. O mandatário santista não teve tempo hábil para realizar os protocolos necessários, já que havia assumido a sua função dois dias antes.

Newcastle: Another "immense" star set for contract talks after Bruno

Newcastle United are ready to open talks over a new contract with another of their first-team stars after successfully securing the services of Bruno Guimaraes, according to reports.

Is Bruno staying at Newcastle?

Over the summer, Guimaraes attracted huge interest from the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea in the Premier League, alongside Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid in La Liga, but despite this, he remained in the northeast and is set to stay there for much longer.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Brazil superstar has agreed terms to put pen to paper on a new contract that is set to be signed at some point within the next ten days, but he’s not the only one who is expected to extend his time at St. James’ Park.

Since joining from Hoffenheim back in 2019, Joelinton has clocked up 161 appearances for Eddie Howe’s side and has become an integral member of the squad, though the central midfielder is currently ruled out of action with a knee injury.

When asked for an update on the Brazilian's fitness, the boss confirmed that he is hoping he’ll be able to stage his comeback before the international break in October, but despite him not being able to make an impact on the pitch, there is work going on behind the scenes.

Is Joelinton signing a new contract at Newcastle?

According to 90min, Newcastle are "set to begin talks" with Joelinton over fresh terms having completed the same with Guimaraes. The Magpies have reportedly indicated to their star's camp that they are "ready to engage" in discussions, and the 27-year-old is "very happy" and "ready to commit" himself to his future on Tyneside.

With regards to Bruno, his particular new deal is expected to be officially confirmed by the club in the coming weeks with the finer details in the process of being finalised with the hierarchy.

Newcastle United midfielder Joelinton.

How many goals does Joelinton have for Newcastle?

Following his arrival, Joelinton has posted 33 contributions (22 goals and 11 assists) in 161 appearances for Newcastle whilst ranking in the 95th percentile for most touches in the opposition’s penalty area, with this form seeing him hailed an “immense” player over the past year by journalist Josh Bunting.

Alongside the action in the final third, Alianca’s native is also a great protector of the backline having won seven out of his eight tackles made this season which is the second-best success rate throughout the whole of Howe's squad, via FBRef.

Furthermore, Howe’s £85k-per-week earner is a versatile operator having been deployed in seven different positions over the pitch since the start of his career, including three roles in the midfield and everywhere across the frontline, which is yet another attractive attribute that he possesses.

Finally, Joelinton was named Newcastle's Player of the Year during the 2021/22 season so he is clearly appreciated by the staff, his fellow teammates and the club's supporters, therefore, him signing on the dotted line would come as a huge boost to everyone in the northeast.

وكان الزمالك قد أعلن عن انسحابه من خوض مباراة الغد أمام الأهلي بسبب عدم تنفيذ مطالبه وأبرزها خوض المباريات المؤجلة من الدور الأول للمسابقة.

Chelsea: Blues now in talks over new deal for "exceptional" ace after twist

Chelsea could offer one of their men an opportunity to stake his claim long-term at Stamford Bridge following recent developments regarding his contract situation, according to reports.

What's the latest news involving Chelsea?

According to The Guardian, Chelsea will look to prioritise bringing in an experienced striker to help with their goal flow in the final third of the pitch and to alleviate pressure bestowed upon the shoulders of Nicolas Jackson. Brentford's Ivan Toney and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen are both being targeted by the Blues as they look to try and return to a position where they are capable of challenging for the top honours in English football.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano meanwhile has shared quotes from Mauricio Pochettino on X detailing his satisfaction with the improvement Mykhailo Mudryk has been showing in recent weeks, which read: Pochettino: "Trust me, Mudryk is really making a massive effort to try to integrate himself. He's trying to understand better what it means to play like a team but he is young and for sure he is going to improve. We are so happy in how he is improving."

Journalist Ben Jacobs has informed GIVEMESPORT that Mudryk has also formed close relationships with England international Ben Chilwell and Senegalese striker Jackson as he continues to try and live up to his £88.5 million price tag.

Chelsea travel to face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Monday as the Blues aim to secure just their second victory of the Premier League campaign and begin to move up the divisional standings. Midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has returned to full training and may be available for the west London derby after being absent since his side's 3-1 defeat to West Ham United back in August.

Who could sign a new contract at Chelsea?

According to Football Insider, Chelsea defender Ian Maatsen has opened talks over a new deal at Stamford Bridge after Pochettino changed his mind on the 21-year-old in a fresh twist, given that the Argentinian coach was open to letting him leave in the summer transfer window for the right fee.

Pochettino apparently changed tact and prevented Maatsen from leaving Chelsea late in the window despite the club initially accepting an offer for his services from Burnley, and it's believed his strong showing in pre-season in several different roles may have earned him a second chance in west London.

Maatsen has managed to make just seven appearances in his time at Stamford Bridge and will undoubtedly be keen to unseat both Levi Colwill and Chilwell as he aims to feature more often on the left-hand side of defence, as per Transfermarkt.

The Netherlands international, who was labelled "exceptional" by former teammate Simon Moore, also leads the way in comparison to his positional peers across the next 14 competitions around Europe in the field of attempted passes, averaging around 74.65 per 90 minutes in the last 365 days, putting him in the 98th percentile for this metric, as per FBRef.

Looking ahead, Chelsea will be keen to continue the momentum from their victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup last week and will also hope to tie Maatsen down to a new deal before his contract expires next summer.

Fluminense prorroga vínculo de Caio Paulista até o fim deste Brasileiro

MatériaMais Notícias

O início da noite desta sexta-feira foi de alento em relação ao futuro de Caio Paulista no Fluminense. O clube selou acordo para que o vínculo do atacante, inicialmente previsto para durar até o fim deste ano, seja prorrogado até 28 de fevereiro, a tempo de terminar a edição de 2020 do Campeonato Brasileiro. A informação foi divulgada inicialmente pelo GE.

O jogador de 22 anos foi cedido pelo Tombense, que é detentor de seus direitos econômicos. Caio Paulista cresceu de produção nas partidas mais recentes com a camisa do Fluminense e já balançou a rede no duelo com o Atlético-MG.

O Tricolor das Laranjeiras ainda tenta resolver as questões dos empréstimos dos volantes Fellipe Cardoso e Hudson, que também têm contrato de empréstimo até dezembro deste ano.

Devido à pandemia do novo coronavírus, a CBF aceitou reduzir o período mínimo para prorrogações contratuais, permitindo que os clubes possam manter seu elenco manter até o fim do Brasileirão.

Scotland have point to prove in rare match-up with neighbours England

Sunday presents Scotland with an opportunity to show they are deserving of more fixtures against England, let alone other Full Members

Preview by Peter Della Penna09-Jun-2018Big PictureThis week begins the start of a historic event, something everyone pouring through the stadium gates only gets to witness once every four years, an occasion the host country’s players and fans pour their heart and soul into because it might be their lone shot at capturing greatness on the world stage for a very long time.No, no, not Russia welcoming the FIFA World Cup. It’s when Scotland hosts England in an ODI. Initially intended to be a biennial affair, with England alternating benevolent visits to Ireland every other year, the Bannockburn bilaterals on Saltire soil have only achieved a completed result twice since the first ODI between the two sides was played north of the wall in 2008.After a no result in the maiden encounter at the Grange, England claimed a seven-wicket win in 2010 defeating their former team-mate Gavin Hamilton who had gone back home to captain his country. After 2012’s scheduled match was called off weeks in advance due to flooding issues at the Grange, the 2014 affair was a rain-marred contest in Aberdeen, with Scotland falling well short in a 20-over chase.Nothing was scheduled in 2016 to follow up their only ever encounter at an ICC tournament when England prevailed once again behind a Moeen Ali century in Christchurch at the 2015 World Cup.For Scotland, Sunday presents an opportunity to show they are deserving of more fixtures against England, let alone other Full Members. They’re also keen to show everyone their form at the World Cup Qualifier was not a one-off. After opening the tournament with a shock win over Afghanistan, they tied with Zimbabwe before running Ireland and West Indies tight in a pair of matches infamous for the lbw decisions given by Paul Wilson that didn’t go their way.The Grange is the scene of Scotland’s famous maiden ODI win over a Full Member almost a year ago to the day when they knocked off Zimbabwe. Coach Grant Bradburn, a man of many mottos including “playing with teeth” and “Kaizen”, has told those around the team this week that they are “hunting history” in their pursuit of a maiden win over England.Scotland’s coaching staff has called on reinforcements for some inspiration to visualize that happening. Former Scotland rugby international Duncan Hodge, who famously denied England the 2000 Grand Slam by singlehandedly outscoring the opposition 19-13 for Scotland’s first victory over England in a decade, has been on hand this week to provide just a little bit more motivation. As Calum MacLeod said “all it takes is one person” to stick their hand up, “to be bold and take that opportunity if it presents itself.”Making that happen will be a tall order. Scotland had enough difficulty taking on the middling limited-overs sides put out by England in years past. The outfit ready to step onto the field in Edinburgh on Sunday arrives with a No. 1 ranking in tow, their brand of one-day cricket unrecognizable to what most fans grew up with.Even without the injured Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes plus the rested Jos Buttler, England boast more than their fair share of established names forming an explosive batting line-up. Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Sam Billings and Moeen Ali all saw time during the IPL this spring though with mixed results and all four will be keen to find form heading into the start of the ODI series against Australia which begins midweek.The anticipation at the Grange has been immense. A quaint club ground hugging the River Leith has done its best Malahide impression, shapeshifting into a sold-out 4600 seat pop-up stadium. The city is hosting a Rolling Stones concert at Murrayfield Stadium on the eve of the cricket match and with Mick Jagger’s penchant for showing up at cricket in offbeat places – whether it be watching USA in the final of 2016 WCL Division Four at Los Angeles or the Ireland men’s maiden Test against Pakistan – locals are prepping for another cricket cameo from rock royalty to add a bit more prestige to the occasion.Form guideScotland LLWTW (last five completed matches, most recent first)
England WLWWLIn the spotlightCaptain Kyle Coetzer is the only player in the Scotland squad who has appeared in every previous ODI encounter against England. After a six-ball duck in 2008, he’s fared quite well, top-scoring with 51 in the loss at the Grange in 2010 and producing another leading effort at the 2015 World Cup in Christchurch – 71 at the top of the order. He’s been in sensational form throughout the last year, and piloted Scotland’s famous win on the same ground last year over Zimbabwe with a sparkling century.Sam Billings will hope to make the most of a rare chance in England’s side•Getty Images

England’s shining star at the top of the order in white-ball cricket has been Jonny Bairstow. He demolished New Zealand in the series decider in Christchurch, in England’s most recent ODI tie-up in March, crunching 104 off 60 balls for his second century in a row to finish as England’s leading scorer with 302 runs.Team newsNo. 3 batsman Michael Jones was called up to Durham on Friday. Brad Wheal, who was sensational with the new ball in Zimbabwe at the World Cup Qualifiers, has been laid low with a back injury, leaving Chris Sole and Stuart Whittingham as options to join Safyaan Sharif in the seam attack. Dylan Budge, who played for Scotland in their Champions Trophy warm-up win over Sri Lanka last year, may get his full international debut ahead of George Munsey after entering the contest in sizzling domestic form.Scotland: (probable): 1 Kyle Coetzer (capt), 2 Matthew Cross (wk), 3 Calum MacLeod, 4 Richie Berrington, 5 Preston Mommsen, 6 Dylan Budge/George Munsey, 7 Michael Leask, 8 Safyaan Sharif, 9 Mark Watt, 10 Alasdair Evans, 11 Stuart WhittinghamChris Woakes was ruled out of this contest earlier in the week with Tom Curran called up as cover. Morgan revealed in the pre-match press conference that Alex Hales has been pencilled into the XI as Jos Buttler sits out ahead of the Australia series.England (probable): 1 Jonny Bairstow, 2 Jason Roy, 3 Alex Hales, 4 Joe Root, 5 Eoin Morgan (capt), 6 Sam Billings (wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Adil Rashid, 9 David Willey/Tom Curran, 10 Liam Plunkett, 11 Mark WoodPitch and conditionsThe Grange pitch is a belter, where 300-325 is par on a normal day. But with the boundaries brought in at the Pavilion End to make room for Sky Sports TV scaffolding and wiring, 350 or more would not be farfetched for Sunday.Saturday’s training session stayed dry until just after England departed; then, showers started to fall. However the ground is expected to remain mostly dry for game day; early morning rain is forecast but a clear afternoon with temperatures hovering around a mild 20C.Stats and trivia Despite being neighbours, eight Full Members played an ODI against Scotland – beginning with their maiden fixture against Australia at the 1999 World Cup – before England finally faced them for the first time in 2008. Only Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe took longer. England’s fifth ODI against Scotland on Sunday ties Australia for most number of ODIs played by a Full Member against Scotland. Coetzer, who will be playing his 50th ODI on Sunday, needs 89 runs to become the first Scotland player to reach 2000 runs in ODIs. Only Calum MacLeod, Richie Berrington and Majid Haq have played more ODIs for Scotland. Eoin Morgan needs 130 runs to pass Ian Bell as England’s all-time leading scorer in ODIs. Morgan currently has 5287 in 177 matches to Bell’s 5416 in 161.Quotes”Every occasion like tomorrow’s game is going to be a special occasion. It’s going to be one in which we always feel as if we have to put on a good show.”
“It should be a really good game. We watched them play in the qualifying tournament for the 50-over World Cup, which was an extremely competitive tournament. I don’t think there was a lot between the teams.”

رونالدو يوضح سبب تنفيذه أول ركلة ترجيح أمام سلوفينيا ويؤكد: سنخوض حربًا ضد فرنسا

أكد كريستيانو رونالدو، نجم منتخب البرتغال، أن تأثره الشديد وبكائه في مباراة الأمس ضد منتخب سلوفينيا، لا يعود سبب إلى كونها آخر بطولة أوروبية سيخوضها في مسيرته.

وواجه منتخب البرتغال نظيره سلوفينيا في دور الـ16 من يورو 2024، كأس أمم أوروبا، حيث فاز بركلات الترجيح.

وشهدت المباراة مشهدًا مؤثرًا بعدما أهدر كريستيانو رونالدو ضربة جزاء، في الشوط الإضافي الأول، ليدخل بعدها في نوبة بكاء وسط محاولات من زملائه لتهدئته.

وقال رونالدو في تصريحات لصحيفة “ojogo” البرتغالية: “أولئك الذين يفشلون هم أولئك الذين يحاولون أيضًا، من الواضح أنه أمر محبط عندما لا تتمكن من التسجيل، لكنني نسيت ذلك بالفعل، لأن النتيجة النهائية كانت إيجابية وهذا هو الشيء الأكثر أهمية”.

وأضاف: “في بعض الأحيان من الصعب تسجيل ركلات الترجيح، كرة القدم في بعض الأحيان يجب أن تكون عادلة واليوم كانت هكذا بالفعل”.

وواصل: “لقد تأثرت لأن هذه لحظات فريدة لا أستطيع التعبير عنها بالكلمات، المشجعون معنا دائمًا وخاصة معي، أنا سعيد جدًا لذلك”.

واستمر: “سنخوض مباراة صعبة الآن ضد فرنسا، التي تعد من المرشحين للفوز بالبطولة، لكننا سنخوض حربًا، الفريق يؤدي بشكل جيد وسأبذل قصارى جهدي دائمًا بهذا القميص”.

وأكد: “لقد أهدرت ركلة الجزاء ولكني أردت أن أكون أول من ينفذ (ركلات الترجيح)، لأنه يتعين عليك تحمل المسؤولية، ولم أخش أبدًا مواجهة الأشياء المعتادة”.

وعما إذا كان السبب وراء تأثره يعود إلى كونها آخر بطولة أوروبية له، قال: “إنها بلا شك آخر بطولة أوروبية لي، لكنني لم أتأثر بذلك، لقد تأثرت بكل ما تنطوي عليه كرة القدم”.

وأوضح: “بالحماس الذي أملكه تجاه اللعبة، من خلال حماس مشاهدة جمهوري وعائلتي والمودة التي يكنها الناس لي، لا يتعلق الأمر بترك كرة القدم، لأنه إذا فعلت ذلك، فما الذي أحتاجه لفعل المزيد أو الفوز بالمزيد؟ الناس هم أكثر ما يحفزني”.
