"لم نخسر شيئًا".. كولر يرد على الانتقادات بعد تعادل الأهلي مع الزمالك في الدوري

علق مارسيل كولر، المدير الفني لفريق الكرة بـ الأهلي، على الانتقادات التي وجهت له بعد تعادل الأحمر في المباراة الماضية أمام الزمالك ضمن منافسات الدوري المصري.

وتعادل الأهلي والزمالك بهدف لكل فريق في المواجهة التي جمعت بينهما في إطار لقاءات الدوري المصري.

ونشر مارسيل كولر عبر حساب شركة وكالة “fairplay agency” التي تدير أعماله على موقع التواصل الاجتماعي “إنستجرام”: “كرة القدم هي العاطفة، كرة القدم هي الشغف، ولهذا السبب بالذات أفهم الانتقادات والتوقعات العالية من جماهير الأهلي، هذا النادي يعيش على البطولات – وهذا ما يجعله مميزًا للغاية”.

وأكمل: “ولكن هناك شيئًا واحدًا واضحًا أيضًا، انتقاد المباراة بعد انتهائها دائمًا ما يكون سهلًا، يمكن لأي شخص أن يشير إلى ما كان يجب أن يتم بشكل مختلف بمجرد انتهاء المباراة”.

وتابع: “لكن من لديه الشجاعة لتحمل المسؤولية قبل المباراة؟ من سيقف ويقول كنت سأضع نفس التشكيلة تمامًا، وإذا لم تنجح، فأنا أتحمل المسؤولية الكاملة؟”.

وأردف: “مارسيل كولر يفعل ذلك، إنه يحلل كل التفاصيل، حتى وقت متأخر من الليل، يستعد بدقة، يدرس خصومنا، يقيم لاعبينا، ويتخذ القرارات من أجل الفوز – وليس من أجل التعادل أو الخسارة”.

وأضاف: “بالطبع، بعد المباراة، قد يرى أي مدرب الأمور بشكل مختلف لأن كرة القدم غير متوقعة، ولكن يجب اتخاذ القرارات مسبقًا، وليس بعد فوات الأوان”.

وأوضح: “نعم، تعادلنا نعم، التوقعات عالية ولكن متى كانت آخر مرة خسرنا فيها مباراة؟، كم مرة أظهر هذا الفريق شخصيته القوية؟، أتذكر الانتقادات بعد الهزيمة أمام صن داونز – لكن في النهاية، فزنا بدوري أبطال إفريقيا”.

وواصل: “النقد جزء من اللعبة، ولكن الوحدة أيضًا – وهذا ما يجعل هذا النادي قويًا، لم نخسر شيئًا – بل على العكس، الموسم لا يزال طويلًا، ونحن بحاجة إليكم! لأن ما يميز الأهلي دائمًا هو قوة أفضل المشجعين في العالم”.

واختتم: “في النهاية، النتائج ستتحدث – وسنواصل القتال معًا!”.

Newcastle working to sell and replace £60,000-a-week forward in January

Former scout Mick Brown believes Newcastle United are working to replace a “unique” St James’ Park hero in the January transfer window.

Newcastle transfer news

In an exciting recent report, the Magpies have been backed to seal the signings of Wout Faes and Nikola Milenkovic, who are at Leicester City and Nottingham Forest respectively. The pair could cost a combined £75m and are seen as potential younger upgrades on Fabian Schar and Dan Burn, who are now both in their 30s and out of contract at the end of this season.

Leicester City' defender WoutFaes.

Another centre-back who has been mentioned as a possible target for Newcastle is Fikayo Tomori, with the Englishman still at AC Milan after moving to Italy on a permanent basis from Chelsea back in 2021. One way or the other, it is clear Newcastlw are keen to bring down the average age of their defensive core.

At the other end of the pitch, Botafogo forward Igor Jesus has been linked with a move to the Magpies, but Premier League rivals Arsenal are providing stiff competition for his services.

Newcastle want to sell "unique" ace in January

Speaking to Football Insider, Brown claimed that Newcastle will look to accept offers for Miguel Almiron in January, having fallen out of favour under Eddie Howe, and they will put any funds earned towards finding a replacement.

“Yes, that’s one I’ve heard they’re looking to do and get a deal done. He doesn’t feature regularly in their team any more, under Eddie Howe. He was always a bit of a bright space and he looks electric at times but he’s not consistent or efficient enough to play regularly at the top level.

“Now they’ve made the decision to move him on. They’ve got people already that can cover for him, but any fee they do get for him will likely be reinvested in that position. That right-hand side is certainly a concern of theirs and they’ll look to bring in money from Almiron’s sale to avoid those financial regulations. Letting Almiron leave will free up that money to spend in January.”

Miguel Almiron

January does feel like a natural time for Almiron’s Newcastle career to reach its conclusion, with the £60,000-a-week Paraguayan increasingly having to settle for a squad role as the years have passed. Just 30 minutes of action have come his way in the league, spanning three cameo appearances, with his only two starts coming in the EFL Cup when Howe decided to shuffle his pack.

Almiron has been a good servant for Newcastle overall – his manager has described him as a “unique footballer”, adding that “I don’t think there’s anyone better at doing what he does” – but he can be improved upon now, certainly in terms of end product, with 12 assists in 214 appearances disappointing for a wide attacker.

Newcastle wasted £29m on Toon flop who earned more than Gordon

Newcastle United wasted a lot of money on this dud.

For that reason, accepting offers in January makes complete sense, not only getting the 30-year-old off Newcastle’s wage bill and freeing up money for incoming signings, but also allowing him to enjoy more regular playing time at a new club.

CBF deve mudar protocolo sanitário devido aos surtos de Covid-19

MatériaMais Notícias

Uma preocupação volta à tona no meio do futebol. Casos de Covid-19 estão aparecendo nos clubes brasileiros durante as reapresentações para a temporada 2022, o que vem acontecendo, também, nos times europeus com o surto da variante Ômicron. Portanto, a Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) iniciou reuniões para a definição de novos protocolo sanitários nas competições. A informação é do jornal “O Globo”.

A expectativa é que até o próximo final de semana já haja esboços do novo documento, que deverá ser mais rigoroso a partir de fevereiro, segundoJorge Pagura,coordenador médico da CBF.

– Estamos analisando os campeonatos europeus e eventos nos Estados Unidos, além de dados dos principais países. Essa nova variante vai exigir adaptações em relação à temporada passada. Nossas exigências devem estar compatíveis com a definição das autoridades sanitárias locais. Estamos também à espera de dados oficiais no Brasil e também a aplicabilidade do novo período de isolamento em relação à Ômicron – disse o coordenador.

No protocolo atual, a entidade máxima do futebol brasileiro exige testes com 72 horas de antecedência em três tipos de casos: nas pessoas que não têm anticorpos para combater a doença, nos que não tiveram covid e nas pessoas que testaram positivo há mais de seis meses. Em caso de diagnóstico da doença, o período de isolamento é de 10 dias.

Quem também já estuda mudanças nas diretrizes é aFederação de Futebol do Rio de Janeiro, já que o Campeonato Carioca começa no fim de janeiro. Vasco e Botafogo, que jogaram a Série B e já se reapresentaram, tiveram casos positivos de Coronavírus em seus elencos: foram seis no Cruz-Maltino e quatro no Glorioso.

Yorkshire admit Azeem Rafiq suffered from 'racial harassment' while at club – but refuse to release report

Summary released by club says there was “insufficient evidence” to support claim of institutional racism

Yorkshire have admitted that Azeem Rafiq “was the victim of racial harassment” during his first spell at the club•Charlie Crowhurst/Getty Images

Yorkshire have reiterated their stance that they are unable to publish the independent report into Azeem Rafiq’s allegations of racism at the club, due to issues “in relation to privacy law and defamation”, following parliamentary pressure to release its findings.Yorkshire distributed a summary of the report and its recommendations on Friday morning, which detailed seven instances of racial harassment and bullying of Rafiq that were upheld by the investigation. Last month, the club issued an apology to Rafiq, saying he had been “the victim of inappropriate behaviour”.Roger Hutton, the club’s chairman, has now gone further and admitted that there is “no question that Azeem Rafiq, during his first spell as a player at YCCC, was the victim of racial harassment”. However, while apologising to Rafiq once again, Hutton also said that the panel had determined there was “insufficient evidence” to support the claim that Yorkshire were “institutionally racist” as a club.The ECB has previously called on Yorkshire to come up with a timeline for publication, while on Wednesday, the chair of Department of Culture, Media and Sport select committee, Julian Knight, wrote to the club saying it was “crucial that the process, the report and its full findings are made public and open to scrutiny”.Related

Parliamentary committee demands publication of Rafiq report

A spokesperson for Rafiq criticised Yorkshire’s “atrocious” handling of the investigation and said failure to hand over a copy of the report was “an abuse of process”.”We note that Yorkshire County Cricket Club has confirmed Azeem was the victim of racism and bullying during his two spells at Headingley,” the spokesperson said. “However, we must highlight the atrocious way this process continues to be handled. Azeem was not given any notice of this morning’s statement – he received a copy only a couple of minutes before the media.”Azeem and his team are not in a position to properly understand the club’s conclusions and how they reached them, because Yorkshire has not provided a copy of the report. This is clearly unacceptable and an abuse of process.”What is clear is that Yorkshire County Cricket Club admits racism and bullying has taken place on many occasions, yet won’t accept the obvious – that this is an institutional problem.”We also note that Baroness Morgan, the former Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, has written to Yorkshire County Cricket Club in recent days demanding that Azeem see a full copy of the report. We further note the letter to Yorkshire from Julian Knight, the chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, on Wednesday. We welcome their interventions. We will provide a fuller statement in the coming days.”Ian Watmore, the ECB chair, said: “No one should have to experience racism or discrimination in cricket, and it is very concerning that the independent panel has upheld a number of allegations and concluded that historically Azeem Rafiq was the victim of racial harassment and of bullying during his time at Yorkshire County Cricket Club.”It is clear that the game owes him an apology and we are happy to offer that apology to him. There is simply no place for racism in cricket, and what Azeem experienced was unacceptable. The ECB has only seen the statement and summary report for the first time today, so we will now examine the contents in detail to decide what further action is required.”Meanwhile, ESPNcricinfo understands that Mark Arthur, Yorkshire’s chief executive since 2013, has been placed on furlough.In a lengthy statement attributed to Hutton, Yorkshire said they had been given “clear legal advice” that the report should not be made public.”The report and recommendations were delivered to the board on 13 August 2021 and since then the board and its executives have been considering the report and its recommendations and taking legal advice upon them,” Hutton said. “The club has been advised of its responsibilities in relation to privacy law and defamation and as such, is not able to publish the full report. Although our clear legal advice is that the full report should not be made public, the club has instructed counsel to assist it in producing a summary of the report and recommendations which is attached to this statement.”The report shows that there were in excess of 40 allegations made against the club by Azeem Rafiq. The majority were not upheld, and some were not upheld on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence. However, seven of Azeem Rafiq’s allegations were upheld. There is no question that Azeem Rafiq, during his first spell as a player at YCCC, was the victim of racial harassment. He was also subsequently the victim of bullying. On behalf of all at YCCC, I wish to extend my sincere, profound and unreserved apologies to Azeem and to his family.”Of 43 allegations made by Rafiq, the report said seven were upheld and the rest fell into two categories: “not upheld” and “not upheld on the basis of insufficient evidence”.The allegations upheld by the panel were as follows:”When Rafiq was playing junior cricket for Yorkshire, he was not provided with halal food at matches. This has now been rectified.”Prior to 2010 the panel found that there were three separate incidents of racist language being used by former players which were found to be harassment on the grounds of race.”Before 2012 a former coach regularly used racist language.”During his second spell at Yorkshire between 2016 and 2018 there were jokes made around religion which made individuals uncomfortable about their religious practices.”During his second spell at the club, a former player made references to Rafiq’s weight and fitness that amounted to bullying.”In August 2018, when Rafiq raised concerns of racism there was a failure by the club to follow its own policy or investigate these allegations.”On a number of occasions prior to 2018 the club could have done more to make Muslims more welcome within their stadiums and should have dealt better with complaints of racist or anti-social behaviour within those stadiums.”However, despite Rafiq’s claims that the racism he experienced during two spells at the club left him on the brink of suicide, Yorkshire’s statement said that the panel “did not find that YCCC made any cricketing decisions in relation to Azeem Rafiq based on his race or religion”.Hutton said: “In being honest and direct about the clear failings at the club that were highlighted in the report, we must also be honest and direct about what the report did not say. It determined that there was insufficient evidence to conclude that Yorkshire County Cricket Club is institutionally racist. It did not find that any decisions by the coaching staff or the club, relating either to Azeem’s inclusion within a team or his ultimate release from the club was for anything other than cricketing reasons.”Yorkshire have also committed to pursuing recommendations made by the panel, which include a review of internal policies, ensuring staff undergo training on equality, diversity and inclusion, increased engagement with minority communities, more rigorous policing of “unacceptable language”, and the production of an annual report detailing the club’s efforts on inclusivity.”Looking to the future, the club will now enthusiastically implement the panel’s recommendations and will look to work with a broader group from diverse communities to further develop and improve our inclusivity, accessibility and sensitivity to the pulse of modern Britain,” Hutton added. “We also commit to giving regular updates on our plans and our progress. We should be judged on this over the coming months and will report on our progress at our Annual General Meeting in the spring.”

جوارديولا: وضع مانشستر سيتي ليس مثاليًا ولا يهم ما نلعب من أجله

تحدث مدرب مانشستر سيتي بيب جوارديولا، في مؤتمر صحفي، قبل مباراة فريقه أمام نوتينجهام بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، والمنافسة على مركز مؤهل لبطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، ورفض التعليق على تصرفات لاعبه جاك جريليش، وأشاد بـ عبد القادر خوسانوف.

نوتينجهام يحتل المركز الثالث في ترتيب الدوري الإنجليزي متقدمًا بفارق نقطة واحدة عن مانشستر سيتي صاحب المركز الرابع.

وسُئل جوارديولا إذا كان الضغط على مانشستر سيتي مختلفًا عن المواسم السابقة بسبب عدم وجود منافسة واقعية على اللقب.

وأجاب: “الضغط موجود دائمًا؛ في الأندية الكبيرة، يكون الضغط موجودًا دائمًا وعليك أن تبذل قصارى جهدك، لا يهم ما تلعب من أجله”.

وأشار: “الأمر مختلف، لكن الواقع هو أننا نحاول إنهاء الموسم ضمن المراكز الأربعة الأولى، وغدًا لدينا فرصة للصعود والمساعدة في تأمين هذا الهدف”.

وعن سعي مانشستر سيتي للتأهل لدوري أبطال أوروبا للموسم المقبل، أردف: “نحن في وضع ليس مثاليًا، لكنه ليس سيئًا! الأمر بين أيدينا وسنقاتل من أجل ذلك”.

وانتقل جوارديولا للحديث عن لاعبه عبد القادر خوسانوف قائلاً: “كان تأثير عبد القادر خوسانوف جيدًا حقًا، حقًا! كما لعب فيتور ريس بشكل جيد حقًا ضد بليموث”.

وواصل: “والآن يأتي بعض المدافعين من الأكاديمية للتدريب معنا بسبب غياب المدافعين الثلاثة حتى نهاية الموسم تقريبًا، ربما يكونوا جاهزين لكأس العالم، أو ربما آخر مباراة أو مباراتين في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز”.

واسترسل: “لكن عندما نتحدث عن ثمانية أو عشرة أسابيع، فهذا يعني وقتًا طويلاً، نحن محظوظون لأن النادي اتخذ قرارًا بإحضار شخص ما بدلاً من القيام بذلك في الصيف، وإلا لكنا في ورطة!”.

وعن لاعبه جاك جريليش الذي ظهر قبل أيام في حالة سُكر شديدة بأحد الحانات، استطرد جوارديولا: “إنه مشهور للغاية، الناس يتابعونه، ليس لدي ما أعلق عليه”.

وعن نونو إسبيريتو سانتو وما فعله في نوتنجهام فورست هذا الموسم، قال: “الأمر بسيط للغاية، عندما تكون في المركز الثالث في الجدول مع بقاء 11 مباراة، فهذا يعني أنك قدمت أداءً جيدًا حقًا، إنه أمر مثير للإعجاب”.

وأكمل: “إنهم يدافعون بشكل جيد حقًا، ومتماسكون وعدوانيون، اللاعبون في المقدمة يخلقون الكثير من الفرص، مورجان جيبس ​​وايت، أنتوني إلانجا لاعبان استثنائيان”.

واسترسل: “أولا أينا لاعب استثنائي، يمكنه اللعب على كلا الجانبين، إليوت أندرسون قوي جسديًا ولاعب من الطراز الأول أيضًا”.

وحول كون نوتينجهام يشكل تهديدًا لمانشستر سيتي على مكان في دوري أبطال أوروبا: “هناك العديد من الأندية المختلفة التي تنافس على هذا الهدف، الجميع يريد التواجد في دوري أبطال أوروبا الموسم المقبل لأسباب عديدة”.

وأتم: “لن تكون نهاية العالم؛ نريد التأهل لدوري أبطال أوروبا، إذا لم يحدث ذلك لنا، فذلك لأننا لم نكن جيدين بما فيه الكفاية والفرق الأخرى تستحق ذلك”.

9 passes all game: Slot must ditch Liverpool star after 5/10 display

All told, Liverpool will be satisfied with their point claimed against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, not least because their Premier League title rivals secured a lead on two occasions yesterday evening.

Last season, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool were a day late and a dollar short in north London, outfought and outthought in February in what seemed a critical juncture in the enthralling three-horse race.

On that day, the error-strewn Reds failed to match their opponent’s gusto and assurance, with Ibrahima Konate sent off late on. The Frenchman was colossal this time around, winning all of his duels and being hailed for his “world-class” performance by analyst Raj Chohan.

Mohamed Salah was also absent for that one, playing at AFCON with Egpyt, but his appearance against Mikel Arteta’s side proved all the difference for Arne Slot and his booming project, who remain four points above the Gunners.

Mohamed Salah saves Liverpool again

Once Darwin Nunez had made that slick run, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s deliciously weighted pass carving the Arsenal backline open, you just knew that Salah was going to find the space to bypass David Raya in the box.

Mohamed Salah scores for Liverpool

And he did. The 32-year-old’s neat finish marked his eighth goal of the season across all competitions – with seven assists besides. He’s been a marvel under his Dutch boss and is supercharging the Anfield side’s budding title charge.

Described as “unstoppable again” by journalist Fabrizio Romano, Salah’s positioning and intelligence bore dividends in a hostile Emirates environment, with his relentless proving to make amends after a shocking blunder when presented with a goalscoring chance only 15 minutes into the clash.

Arsenal were dangerous and sought to use their crowd to their advantage, but with the likes of Salah pulling the strings for Slot, there’s every chance that the Merseysiders can continue their stunning start to the season and challenge Arsenal and Manchester City for the Premier League title.

Not everyone was at their best, however, with Luis Diaz sure to thank his opposite-flanking peer after an indifferent effort that saw him marshalled by Thomas Partey, who was moonlighting at right-back.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast's Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

Time for Luiz Diaz to be dropped

Diaz has been excellent for Liverpool this season – scoring five times – and let’s not forget that it was the Colombian’s neat flick-on from a corner that allowed Liverpool to beat the hosts at their own game and score from a corner, courtesy of hulking skipper Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk

But that wasn’t enough to save the 27-year-old from criticism, with This Is Anfield only affording him a 5/10 match rating after an indifferent showing that led to comments regarding his lack of impact and success on Liverpool’s attacking left flank.

As you will see below, it was a display that failed to capture Diaz’s finest essence, hooked just after an hour having been well marshalled by the makeshift Partey, who impressively won 13 duels and five tackles.

He left something to be desired to be sure – completing just nine passes all evening and dismally completing just one of his four dribble attempts. A tally of just six duel wins from 19 contests also doesn’t paint a pretty picture of the former Porto winger’s time in north London this weekend.

That said, Diaz is still one of the Premier League’s finest wide forwards and showcased his worth with a match-defining contribution in the first half

Gakpo was impressive off the bench, however, winning three of his four duels, and must now be unleashed from the outset again after proving that his current form demands a starting berth.

Georgia Wareham and Sophie Molinuex combine to set up Melbourne Renegades

Harmanpreet Kaur guided the chase home after the spinners had dominated Hurricanes’ innings

Georgia Wareham played a big part in victory•Getty Images

Melbourne Renegades 4 for 125 beat Hobart Hurricanes 121 (Wareham 3-13) by six wicketsMelbourne Renegades’ Australia spin duo of new captain Sophie Molineux and Georgia Wareham combined to have a big impact on their opening WBBL victory over Hobart Hurricanes.The pair took figures of 8-0-25-5 – supplemented by a wicket from Harmanpreet Kaur – to restrict Hurricanes to 121 which Renegades chased down with four balls to spare as Kaur saw them over the line.In the first of the weekend’s matches played behind closed doors due to Hobart’s lockdown, Hurricanes made a promising start in the Powerplay but were set back by Wareham who was introduced in the fifth over and removed Ruth Johnston.Wareham, who only claimed three wickets in an injury-hit tournament last season, then trapped South Africa overseas star Mignon du Preez lbw with a delivery that went straight on as the spinners took hold.Richa Ghosh, who was dropped on 1, deposited one ball out of the ground but fell to her India T20 captain, Kaur, who had left the field early in the innings after appearing to wind herself landing awkwardly when attempting a catch.The middle order struggled to increase the tempo with only Naomi Stalenberg making a dent on the scoreboard. Between them, Molineux and Wareham bowled 30 dot balls.After Molineux was superbly run out by Ghosh’s direct hit – throwing from flat on the outfield – the chase was set up by 58-run stand between Jemimah Rodrigues and Courtney Webb although Webb was given a life on 7 when she was caught off a Tayla Vlaeminck no-ball.Hurricanes got themselves back into the match late on when Belinda Vakarewa removed both set batters in the space of two balls and Eve Jones also departed as they lost 3 for 6. However, moments after surviving a close appeal for lbw Kaur swung Nicola Carey for six to ease any tension.

"I’m told" – What Newcastle’s owners really think about Eddie Howe

Eddie Howe finds himself under pressure after Newcastle United’s underwhelming start to the season, but is he in danger of losing his job?

Why Howe is facing pressure at Newcastle

The Magpies lost 2-1 away to Chelsea in their most recent Premier League assignment, which was no disaster, considering the Blues are looking good for a top-four finish this season.

That being said, the defeat still means Newcastle are down in 12th position, which supporters would not have been happy about back in August, and performances have too often been lacking this season, even when positive results have been picked up, such as at home to Tottenham, when they were outplayed for large periods.

For that reason, pressure has been growing on Howe, even though he still has plenty of support from the fanbase, while there are also murmurings of discontent between himself and sporting director Paul Mitchell.

There is no doubt that things have to improve in order to avoid a second consecutive below-par season, even if injuries were a huge reason for Newcastle’s struggles in 2023/24.

Key update on Howe's Newcastle future

Speaking to Football Insider, former scout Mick Brown claims he’s heard Howe’s job as Newcastle manager is safe for now, with a lack of transfer activity seen as a good excuse for the Magpies’ shortcomings.

I’m told there is an acceptance that the transfer window did not go as planned and that has, no doubt, had an effect on how they’ve started the season. They’re in a difficult position and could go one way or the other, but they’re backing Howe. With the players they’ve got, the likes of Alexander Isak, they’ve certainly got the ability.

“Results will need to turn around though because going five games without a win isn’t good enough when you want to challenge and qualify for Europe. Howe has done a good job since he took over there, though, and he’s got plenty of credit in the bank with the fans and the owners.”

It would certainly be harsh for Newcastle to sack Howe currently, considering the positives still very much outweigh the negatives in terms of the job he has done at St James’ Park, not least guiding his side into the Champions League in 2022/23.

The lack of transfers has been an issue that both the manager and Mitchell have mentioned, leaving the Magpies without the depth and quality of some of their Premier League rivals, and more reinforcements are badly needed in January and next summer.

Newcastle fans called "embarrassing" after what happened in Chelsea defeat

ByHenry Jackson Oct 28, 2024

That being said, Howe shouldn’t be absolved of any criticism, with Newcastle’s league position not good enough and too many displays lacking conviction, so improvements are required, starting at home to Chelsea and Arsenal this week, in the EFL Cup and league respectively.
