أوضح جناح نادي ليفربول الأسبق، لويس جارسيا، سبب انخفاض مستوى مهاجم الفريق الأول لكرة القدم الحالي، محمد صلاح، منذ بداية الموسم الحالي.

ولم يظهر محمد صلاح بالمستوى المعهود عنه في السنوات الماضية حتى الآن تحت قيادة المدير الفني، يورجن كلوب، وهناك من يرجع ذلك إلى تغيير الطريقة التي يلعب ليفربول بها.

وتحدث جارسيا عن وجهة نظره في تصريحات لشبكة “ESPN”، وقال: “يمكنك أن ترى وأنا متأكد من أن، محمد صلاح، يعرف نفسه جيدًا”.

وتابع: “يمكنك أن ترى أنه لا يستطيع التغلب في المواجهات الفردية أمام أي لاعب، لا يركض نحو منطقة الجزاء، بعيدًا عنها بشكل واضح يلعب على الأطراف”.

وأضاف: “محمد صلاح ابتعد عن منطقة خطورته وهي منطقة الجزاء، طالما ظل بعيدًا عن تلك المنطقة ستكون خطورته أقل”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “اعتقد أن محمد صلاح كان بحاجة إلى راحة أمام نابولي، من الصعب جدًا على أي لاعب المشاركة في 60 أو 70 مباراة، لن يفعلوا ذلك دائمًا وعليهم أن يتفهموا ذلك، ستكون هناك مسابقات دولية مثل كأس العالم، وسيحتاج بعضهم إلى الراحة”.

Many Everton fans have been slamming the performance of Andros Townsend in their game  at Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The former Crystal Palace winger’s match got off to the worst possible start as he gave away a penalty for a high boot in the first half, which was duly tucked away nicely by Ivan Toney.

Aside from that mistake, the 30-year-old was not able to make much of an impact from an attacking point of view, failing to record a single shot on goal, dribble or long ball. He also lost out on five of his duels, was inaccurate with seven of his crossing attempts, and lost possession of the ball 16 times in total (SofaScore).

After three goals in four games prior to the October international break, Townsend has now gone six league games without a goal for Everton (Transfermarkt), a real plummet in form since the early weeks of autumn.

Sir Sydney Walling, the legendary Antiguan cricketer, died aged 102

Cricinfo staff11-Oct-2009Sir Sydney Walling, the legendary Antiguan cricketer, died on Thursday aged 102.An opening batsman with a reputation for nimble footwork, he made his debut in 1927, and despite making 156 in the trial match in Guyana in 1927-28 he missed out on selection for the tour of England the following summer, inter-island prejudices counting against him. In 1933-34 he became the first black cricketer to lead the Antigua team. He also captained the Leeward Islands and played in the first-ever Combined Islands team in the early 1950s.Some commentators argued that Walling would have been the fourth W, with the other great post-war West Indies batsmen – Frank Worrell, Clyde Walcott and Everton Weekes.His cricketing abilities did help him in other ways. His first job in the post office in 1922 came because of his skill as a batsman, and he rose through the ranks to become the country’s postmaster.In recognition of Walling’s cricketing achievements, a stand at the Antigua Recreation Ground and the highway leading to the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, were named in his honour.He was a talented musician as well, playing the baritone horn in a local band. He was awarded a knighthood in 2004 for his services to Antigua.

Many Glasgow Rangers fans have ben left slamming the display of Ianis Hagi in their game away at Lyon in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening.

The Romania international was largely an anonymous figure on the pitch, recording fewer touches (30) than his own goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin before being hauled off by Giovanni van Bronckhorst just after the hour mark for Juninho Bacuna (SofaScore).

Hagi failed to record a single shot on target, dribble, key pass, accurate cross or long ball in the entire match, and was also guilty of giving up possession seven times (SofaScore), in what was a frustrating evening individually for the midfield player.

It means that he is yet to score under the new manager, while he has only managed one assist (Transfermarkt), and will no doubt want to improve on his recent performances.

Andrew Strauss has said he is “100% happy with Jonathan Trott’s commitment” and was not concerned by Michael Vaughan’s allegations

Cricinfo staff31-Oct-2009

Andrew Strauss, the England captain, has said he is “100% happy with Jonathan Trott’s commitment” and was not concerned by Michael Vaughan’s allegations that the batsman celebrated with South Africa after they beat England at Edgbaston in 2008.”He [Trott] said himself that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He knows a few of those players. I’ve spoken about it with him and he has a completely clear conscience on the matter,” Strauss said. “He said hi and well done to the guys – if I wasn’t playing in the Test I’d probably have said the same thing as well.”Trott had a spectacular debut this year, scoring a series-clinching century in the deciding Ashes Test at The Oval and Strauss said he was an “exciting prospect”. “To uproot your life and start all over again in another country is a big decision and I’m sure he’ll make the most of the opportunity of playing for England.”Strauss was speaking ahead of England’s departure for the two-and-a-half month tour of South Africa, a trip which includes Twenty20 internationals, ODIs and Tests. Strauss felt playing South Africa at home was “probably the hardest assignment there is. It’s harder than winning the Ashes at home. In pure cricketing terms this is as hard as it gets right now.”England’s 15-man squad includes four players with ties to South Africa. Wicketkeeper Matt Prior and Strauss himself were born in Johannesburg, while Trott and Kevin Pietersen moved to England after spending their formative years in South Africa. Pietersen had received a hostile reception from the South African crowd when he toured there five years ago and a similar welcome could lie in store for Trott. Strauss, however, insisted that it wouldn’t be a distraction to England’s goal.”In terms of trying to win the Test series, it won’t be a big issue but it might bubble away in the background,” Strauss said. “All I can say is the selectors sit down and pick the best 15 England qualified players. The fact some of them have been born out of these shores is of no consequence.”They’ve obviously had the determination, hunger and desire – possibly more than some people in county cricket. They deserve to be playing for England because of that. As captain I’m very happy that the 15 players I’ve got are 100% committed to performing for England and representing their country.”England begin their tour with a warm-up match against the Eagles on November 6 in Bloemfontein and have two more practice games ahead of the first Twenty20 international against South Africa in Johannesburg on November 13.

A próxima janela de transferências para o futebol europeu já atormenta o Corinthians. Após resistir ao assédio e vender apenas Léo Jabá no meio deste ano, o Timão admite que perderá jogadores para o 2018, principalmente por conta da dificuldade financeira do clube.

O técnico Fábio Carille já chegou a dizer que sonha em manter 80% da base atual para a próxima temporada, mas sabe que será difícil em razão da valorização do elenco após a boa campanha neste ano. Veja abaixo os mais cotados a serem vendidos:

Jô: com contrato até o fim de 2019, o atacante de 30 anos já recebeu sondagens do futebol europeu. Publicamente ele diz que ainda não pensa no futuro, mas não crava a permanência no Timão. O jogador é agenciado por Giuliano Bertolucci e Kia Joorabchian, parceria de bom trânsito no mercado europeu, e vê com bons olhos um possível retorno ao continente, onde já atuou por CSKA (RUS), Everton (ING), Galatasaray (TUR) e Manchester City (ING). Corinthians tem 100% dos direitos econômicos de Jô.

– Eu tenho contrato. Sou muito grato ao Corinthians por ter confiado em mim. Tem sondagens e especulações, mas isso é uma coisa natural. Vou ficar tranquilo, ir passo a passo e depois entrar de férias para lá na frente não ser julgado. Não posso cravar nada e depois ter outra história – afirmou Jô.

Guilherme Arana: cria da base e com contrato até o fim de 2021, o lateral-esquerdo de 20 anos é um dos jogadores mais valorizados no Corinthians. No meio deste ano, o Timão rejeitou propostas do CSKA (RUS) e Bordeaux (FRA), mas sabe que será difícil segurá-lo para a próxima temporada. O Corinthians recusou oferta de 12 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 44 milhões) e pede pelo menos 15 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 55 milhões). Segundo o “Yahoo! Esportes”, representantes do Sevilla (ESP), que já havia demonstrado interesse em Arana no meio do ano, estão no Brasil para uma reunião com o Timão. Além disso, há outros clubes europeus com interesse no lateral, como o Atlético de Madrid (ESP). Corinthians tem 40% dos direitos econômicos de Arana.

– Deixo essas questões para a minha família e meus empresários. Estamos no final do campeonato, tenho de me manter focado no Corinthians. Quando terminar o ano, se Deus quiser campeão, vou parar para pensar e ver o que é melhor para mim – disse Arana.

Rodriguinho: o meia de 29 anos outro jogador que constantemente é cotado na Europa. Em janeiro, por exemplo, o Corinthians recusou uma proposta do Fenerbahçe (TUR), e Rodriguinho chegou até ficar chateado porque havia gostado da oferta (após o título Paulista, ele disse que foi melhor ter ficado e renovou seu contrato até o fim de 2019). Já no meio deste ano, o Timão recusou uma proposta do Lokomotiv Moscou (RUS). A tendência é de que novas ofertas cheguem na próxima janela de transferências, e Rodriguinho admite o sonho de jogar no Europa. Corinthians tem 50% dos direitos econômicos do meia.

Balbuena: é mais um jogador que teve proposta recusada no meio deste ano. Ele recebeu oferta do Genoa (ITA) e foi sondado por outros clubes europeus. O zagueiro paraguaio tem contrato com o Timão até o fim de 2018, mas já recebeu proposta para estender seu vínculo por mais quatro anos e agora analisa com seus empresários. Em suas entrevistas, sempre ressalta a vontade de permanecer e virar ídolo no Corinthians, mas admite considerar uma possível proposta para atuar na Europa. Diretoria busca manter Balbuena, porque ele é um dos líderes do elenco e há grande chance de Pablo, o outro titular do setor, não permanecer após o fim de seu empréstimo pelo Bordeaux (FRA). Corinthians tem 100% dos direitos econômicos do paraguaio.

علق عبد الحق بن شيخة المدير الفني لنهضة بركان عن فوزه بلقب السوبر الإفريقي على حساب الوداد المغربي في المباراة التي جمعت بينهما مساء السبت الماضي.

وقال عبد الحق بن شيخة في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “أون تايم سبورتس1”: “عندما تمتلك لاعبين بمعايير عالية المهمة تكون سهلة، بالنسبة لنا كانت مباراة فاصلة، اللاعبون كانوا على قدر المستوى وقدموا مباراة تليق بسمعة الكرة المغربية”.

وتابع: “فوز الوداد بدوري الأبطال ونهضة بركان بالكونفدرالية يؤكد قوة البطولة المغربية على مستوى القارة الإفريقية”.

وبسؤاله “هل تطمح في الحصول على لقب الدوري المغربي؟”، أوضح: “نهضة بركان في الـ10 سنوات الأخيرة حصل على 5 كؤوس، ويسير بشكل تصاعدي، نحن لدينا هيكلة لم أرها في بعض الأندية الفرنسية”.

وأردف: “لما لا نحصل على بطولة الدوري المغربي، عقيدتنا كبيرة إننا نستطيع أن ننافس على اللقب، نمتلك كل الإمكانيات ونحاول”.

وحول توقعاته للأربع منتخبات العربية في كأس العالم، أجاب: “قادرون على المنافسة، تونس والمغرب يمتلكان القدرة على التأهل إلى الدور الثاني وتخطي مرحلة المجموعات”.

واستطرد: “جمال بلماضي جلب السعادة للجزائر، هو مدرب كفء، كون مجموعة من لا شيء، ثم جاءت المباراة الفاصلة للتأهل إلى كأس العالم وخسرنا، ولكن الحياة تستمر”.

وواصل: “رأينا المشاكل التي حدثت في مباراة مصر والجزائر، ولكن قدر الله وماشاء فعل، نحن متحسرون بالتأكيد، لكن هذا لا يعني أن جمال بلماضي مدرب كبير ومستمر مع المنتخب”.

وبسؤاله “هل ممكن نراك مدربًا لأحد الأندية المصرية؟”، أردف: “شرف كبير لي أن أدرب الأندية المصرية، كانت هناك اتصالات من البعض لتدريب الزمالك في وقت سابق، وبالتأكيد شرف لي العمل في مصر”.

As per reliable transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, West Ham may now have some competition in a race to sign Manchester United star Jesse Lingard.

The Lowdown: Lingard on the radar…

Reports over the last month have suggested that the 29-year-old could be on his way out of Old Trafford in January after a lack of chances under former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-latest-updates/” title=”West Ham latest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

ESPN reported that talks over a new deal for Lingard stalled last month with the playmaker now weighing his winter window options and West Ham have been tipped as real frontrunners.

The England international himself even dropped a cryptic Instagram hint as to where he may end up, uploading a picture of himself on loan at the London Stadium last campaign in a teasing message.

Romano, however, sharing the latest on his future, claims the race to sign Lingard may just have turned up a notch as another competitors sets their sights.

The Latest: Romano makes Lingard claim…

Writing for The Guardian, Romano believes that Newcastle United and Eddie Howe are also ‘looking to sign’ Lingard, either temporarily or in a permanent move.

He backs that West Ham are also in the hunt to sign the Champions League man in January after an impressive stint over the second half of 2020/2021.

The Verdict: Pull out all the stops…

As manager David Moyes scours for more attacking options, with Lingard believed to be one of his targets (The Evening Standard), the Scotsman and recruitment chief Rob Newman simply must do everything possible to win the race.

Showcasing how perfect he is for West Ham already with nine goals and four assists in just 16 Premier League appearances for the Irons last season, Lingard’s numbers are matched only by his plaudits.

The Hammers’ own Declan Rice, for example, hailed the Three Lions ace as a ‘real gem’ and the player West Ham ‘needed’ during his spell at the club (Redknapp’s Big Night Out via The Evening Standard).

Meanwhile, former Premier League striker Kevin Campbell told Football Insider that Lingard is an ‘incredible player’ even amid his lack of game time in Manchester (Football Insider).

As West Ham fight on all fronts over what is, arguably, their most challenging top level campaign for years, the Red Devils outcast could find a new lease of life with a stunning return to the English capital next month.
