MatériaMais Notícias

O atacante Raí é desfalque certo para a equipe do Bahia na próxima rodada da Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro. Ainda com dez minutos de partida, o jogador que estava pendurado levou o terceiro cartão amarelo e não poderá ser usado no confronto com o Vila Nova, na próxima sexta-feira (8), em Goiânia.

Enquanto Raí não poderá jogar, a substituição deve vir em caráter natural já que, originalmente, Rildo seria o titular da posição e não atuou somente por contra de estar emprestado ao Bahia justamente pela equipe gaúcha.

Além da reposição que deve se dar naturalmente, outros nomes que alimentam esperança de dar mais opções ao técnico recém-chegado Enderson Moreira são Marco Antônio e Jonathan.

Porém, para essas duas situações em especial, apenas a evolução dos trabalhos semanais poderão determinar se o processo de transição física poderão ser efetivamente cumpridos.

Conway and Latham propel New Zealand after Agha Salman century

The visitors have cut their deficit down from 438 to 273 on a slow pitch in Karachi

Devon Conway and Tom Latham added 165 unbeaten runs in New Zealand’s highest opening stand in Tests in Pakistan – they went past the previous best of 136 set way back in 1965 – as the hosts toiled hard on a Karachi pitch which seemed to have eased out enough for steady run-scoring.It was mostly a chanceless partnership throughout; the fact that Babar Azam himself came on to roll his arm over as stumps approached was an indication of how dominant was the batting and how ineffective the bowling was, having also bowled the final over before tea. New Zealand’s deficit was down to 273 after Agha Salman’s maiden Test century earlier in the day had pushed Pakistan to 438.On the way to an undefeated 82, Conway also became the fastest New Zealand batter to 1000 Test runs, getting there in 19 innings. Although both he and his partner are both left-handed, they present entirely different problems for bowlers when they’re at the crease together. As if to exemplify this fact, on Tuesday, both of them scored the exact same proportion of their runs – one-third – in diametrically opposite directions. Conway in the arc between point and long-off and Latham between fine leg and midwicket.Pakistan started the evening session with spin from both ends, as Nauman Ali aimed for the rough outside the batters’ off stump, while Abrar Ahmed mixed things up with his variations. And though there was enough turn to keep things interesting, with the odd ball scuttling through at ankle-height, the breakthrough they were striving so hard for never came.Conway often took a big stride forward to smother the spin, and even used the reverse sweep to hit two boundaries, while also driving and slashing each time the bowlers went too full or too wide. Latham, on the other hand, relied on the conventional sweep and the flick, getting 40 of his 78 runs through those shots.Pakistan could have broken the partnership at 105 in the 31st over when Conway inside-edged a ball from Nauman through to the wicketkeeper. Except it all looked very innocuous and seemed like the right decision was made when the umpire ruled not-out. After all, Sarfaraz Ahmed was the only one to appeal – and even that was half-hearted. But then came the replays which showed evidence of a nick.Abrar Ahmed joins in on Agha Salman’s century celebration•Associated Press

Although not everything went to plan, Pakistan still have plenty to play with and that’s largely down to Salman, who hit 103 off 155, piling on quick, useful runs with the tail. Pakistan’s last four wickets fetched 120 runs, with Salman scoring 99 of those in partnerships of 54 with Nauman, 39 with Mir Hamza and 24 with Abrar.Salman had started the afternoon session unbeaten on 54, with Hamza for company. He racked up his last 49 runs from just 45 balls, smashing ten fours to ensure Pakistan crossed the 400-run mark. Salman attacked Neil Wagner, often making room to swat or pull his short deliveries. And when Wagner tried something different, Salman hit three fours in the 125th over: swung to deep square leg, lofted over extra cover off a full length, and slapped to deep point when the left-arm quick went for a slower ball.Confident of his aggressive strokes, Salman reverse swept Ish Sodhi a few times, before raising his century off a pull when the legspinner pitched it short and outside leg. Eventually, Tim Southee trapped him in front when the batter tried to hoick across the line but missed.Southee had also dismissed Babar for 161 with the fourth ball of the day before a dull period in the morning followed. The visitors struck late twice though. That quietened things to the extent that Salman and Nauman went 28 deliveries without scoring, starting with the third ball of the 95th over.Nauman got off the mark off his sixth delivery, but waited until his 48th to produce his next scoring shot, a slog sweep off Ajaz Patel for four. Salman kept things ticking at the other end. New Zealand thought they had him on 36 when they challenged Aleem Dar’s not-out decision for a leg-before appeal. But replays showed Sodhi’s googly was turning in enough to miss leg stump.New Zealand finally broke the frustrating stand which lasted more than 26 overs, when Wagner, brought into the attack with the short-ball ploy in mind, sent Nauman back just before lunch. Michael Bracewell at a short square leg plucked a catch leaping to his left as Nauman tried to pull a rising delivery, before Sodhi got his first Test wicket in four years when Wasim tried a funky scoop shot to a short ball, only for the ball to pop up and into Tom Blundell’s gloves.

حسين الشحات: مسئول بيراميدز الحالي سبب انضمامي لـ الأهلي.. وزيزو صفقة القرن

تحدث حسين الشحات، لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بالنادي الأهلي، عن مسيرته مع الأحمر وعن التدعيمات الجديدة في صفوف القلعة الحمراء خلال الفترة الأخيرة.

وقال الشحات، عبر قناة أون سبورت:” توقعت مسيرة رائعة مع الأهلي بالطبع، وإلا فلماذا أتيت؟ فأنا جئت من أجل صناعة تاريخ داخل النادي الأهلي، لكن إن لم يكن النادي يرغب في استمراري بعد البطولة، سأرحل”.

وواصل:” لدي عروض من الدوري المصري، لكنني لا أرغب في اتخاذ خطوة قد تُغضب جمهور الأهلي والعروض المحلية أكثر مما أحتاج، وهناك من تحدث معي وقال لي تعال وسنمنحك ما تريد، فأخبرتهم أن لدي عروضًا خارجية، فقالوا تعال وسنمنحك أكثر من العروض الخارجية، لكني رفضت”.

طالع.. حسين الشحات: أستحق أفضل لاعب في إفريقيا.. وسأرحل عن الأهلي للراحة فقط

وأضاف: “هناك أكثر من نادٍ يمنح اللاعبين عقودًا أعلى بكثير من الأهلي، ومع ذلك يظل التركيز الإعلامي والجماهيري على لاعبي الأهلي فقط، رغم أن هناك أندية داخل مصر يحصل لاعبوها على أموال أكثر من لاعبي الأهلي الذين يحققون البطولات”.

وواصل: “هناك لاعبون كثيرون يسعون فقط خلف المال، ولو كنت من هذا النوع، لما عدت إلى مصر، فقد كنت أتقاضى أضعاف ما أتقاضاه الآن عندما كنت في العين الإماراتي وما أحصل عليه في الأهلي لا يُقارن بما كنت أتقاضاه هناك، بل هو أقل من الربع”.

واستمر: “الحمد لله، كنت ألعب في العين برقم كبير، وكانوا يوفرون لي فيلا وسيارة، وتوّجت معهم بالدوري والكأس، وبلغنا نهائي كأس العالم للأندية وجئت إلى الأهلي بعدما كنت أتقاضى “جنيهًا” في الإمارات، وأصبحت أتقاضى ما يعادل “30 قرشًا” في الأهلي، لكن هذا هو قراري”.

واستطرد: “هاني سعيد، المدير الرياضي الحالي لبيراميدز، كان مدير أعمالي، وكان صديقًا لمحمد فضل الذي كان يعمل في الأهلي آنذاك، وتم الاتفاق بينهما على انتقالي إلى الأهلي، وكان لدي عرض خارجي بمبلغ 8 أو 9 ملايين دولار قبل انضمامي إلى الأهلي، لكنني اخترت الأهلي، وقلت لمسؤولي العين أريد الأهلي، ودفع الأهلي مقابلًا ماليًا كبيرًا، لأنني كنت نجمًا كبيرًا وهداف الدوري الإماراتي وقتها”.

وعن زيزو وإمام بن شرقي:”لم أكن أتوقع أن ينضم زيزو إلى الأهلي، لأنه لاعب كبير حقق أرقامًا مميزة مع الزمالك، والجمهور والنادي أضافوا له كثيرًا لذلك كنت أتوقع أن يحترف أولًا لمدة سنتين أو ثلاث، ثم يعود إلى الأهلي، لكن انتقاله المباشر فاجأني، أما إمام عاشور، فتوقعت انضمامه إلى الأهلي بعد عودته من الاحتراف، خاصة بعد الإصابة، وكنت أتمنى له الاستمرار خارجيًا، لكن الإصابة عجّلت بعودته”.

وأكمل: “وبالنسبة لبن شرقي، كنت أعلم منذ فترة أنه سينضم إلى الأهلي والثلاثي زيزو، بن شرقي، وإمام لاعبون كبار ويمثلون إضافة قوية، وصفقة القرن هيزيزو بالتأكيد، لأنه انتقل مباشرة من الزمالك إلى الأهلي، وهذا أمر غير معتاد”.

وأضاف: “تريزيجيه ابن النادي، وهو لاعب كبير جدًا، ويمثل إضافة كبيرة للأهلي. أتمنى له السلامة من الإصابات، فهو دائمًا يترك بصمة سواء مع النادي أو المنتخب”

وعن الخروج من دوري أبطال إفريقيا:” كنا حزينين جدًا بعد الخروج، لأننا كنا نطمح للوصول إلى النهائي السادس على التوالي والتتويج باللقب الثالث تواليًا، وطريقة اللعب هي التي أجبرتنا على التراجع. بعد خروج طاهر وإمام، تغيّرت الخطة، وأصبحنا نلعب بثنائي فقط في الأمام، ما قيّدنا كثيرًا”.

واستطرد: “من وجهة نظري، كانت الطريقة خاطئة. كنت أرى أنه من الأفضل الدفع بمهاجم آخر والاستمرار في الهجوم، خاصة أننا نلعب على ملعبنا ووسط جماهيرنا ولم يكن من السهل تقبّل الخروج من نصف النهائي، لأننا تعودنا أن نلعب النهائي كل عام، والجميع كان يتوقع تأهل الأهلي، لكن ما حدث كان صعبًا”.

وأردف عن المنافسة المحلية:”ستظل المنافسة دائمًا بين الأهلي والزمالك، مع كامل احترامي لبيراميدز المنافسة ستبقى بين القطبين، رغم أن بيراميدز أصبح منافسًا قويًا في السنوات الأخيرة”.

وعن الفارق مع الأندية الأوروبية قال: “بالتأكيد هناك فارق كبير، لكن المشكلة الأساسية في عقلية اللاعب إذا نزلت إلى الملعب وأنت خائف، ستخسر، أما إذا لعبت بثقة، فلن يكون هناك ما تخشاه وأنا لم أشعر بالخوف في أي مباراة كبيرة طوال مسيرتي”.

وأتم: “من الطبيعي أن يصل الأهلي إلى نهائي كأس العالم للأندية، لأن هذا هو النادي الأهلي أي لاعب سيأتي ويلعب مع الأهلي سيشعر بعظمته، ليس كل لاعب يتألق مع فريقه قادر على اللعب في الأهلي، فالأمر ليس سهلًا إطلاقًا”.

Tottenham plan to sell Bissouma to fund bid for £66m "generational talent"

Tottenham Hotspur are now planning to sell Yves Bissouma in the summer, in order to fund a move for a “generational talent” who could cost around £66m, according to reports.

Tottenham keen on a midfielder

Spurs are keen on upgrading their midfield in the summer amid a disappointing season for Bissouma, and Lamine Camara has now emerged as a potential target, with scouts recently being sent to watch the AS Monaco man in action.

Camara is not the only player Spurs have in mind, however, with a £25m bid said to be on the table for Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi, who is now ready to leave the Italian club at the end of the season.

Given Frattesi’s willingness to leave Inter, the Lilywhites could have a better chance of getting a deal done this summer, having also expressed interest in the past, and they are also well-placed to sign Real Betis’ Johnny Cardoso, who has a £21m release clause in his contract.

Tottenham to offer £40m for star who has fallen out with his current boss

It would certainly be a major coup.

ByBarney Lane Mar 3, 2025

Adam Wharton, on the other hand, is more likely to command a much higher fee, with recent reports suggesting the Crystal Palace man could cost around £66m in the summer, amid interest from Manchester United.

As such, Tottenham may need to sell before they can buy, and a report from The Boy Hotspur has revealed they are now planning to cash-in on Bissouma to fund a move for Wharton.

Doncaster Rovers' Luke Molyneux in action with Crystal Palace's AdamWharton

There is no shortage of interest in the Mali international, with Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Everton named as potential suitors, while unnamed clubs from France could be willing to make bids as high as €30m (£25m).

The midfielder is set to enter the final year of his contract in the summer, meaning it could be the ideal time for Spurs to cash in, and there are plenty of signs the Crystal Palace star would be a fantastic replacement.

Wharton could be a "generational talent"

The 21-year-old has been lauded as a “generational talent” by members of the media, having impressed enough during his debut season with Palace to be called up for England’s Euro 2024 squad by Gareth Southgate.

Since then, the Englishman has struggled with injuries, but he has remained an important player for the Eagles when fit, most recently displaying his defensive acumen by winning six of the eight duels he contested in a 4-1 win against Aston Villa.

The youngster flourishes defensively in particular, ranking in the 92nd percentile for tackles per 90, and the 81st percentile for interceptions over the past year, when compared to his positional peers, although he also regularly chips in with assists.

Bissouma has fallen out of favour in recent times, appearing for a total of just 17 minutes across the last three Premier League games, so it is little wonder Postecoglou wants to cash in this summer, and Wharton has proven he could be a suitable long-term replacement.

Pakistan bring in a concussion sub for Haris Sohail

Batter was hit on the helmet by a 150 kph delivery from Lockie Ferguson and is suffering from neck pain

Pakistan have opted for an official concussion substitute for Haris Sohail, who will not take the field in the second innings of the third ODI in Karachi. Haris was struck on the side of the helmet in the 43rd over of Pakistan’s innings by a Lockie Ferguson bouncer that kept low and followed him as he attempted to duck. The speed gun registered it as 150kph, and while he carried on, he is now suffering pain on the side of his neck. Sohail has been replaced by batter Kamran Ghulam, who has not played a part this series.Sohail appeared dazed in the immediate aftermath of the blow, with the Pakistan physio coming on to conduct a lengthy inspection for possible concussion. He was eventually allowed to bat on, but lasted just two more deliveries before being run-out after misjudging a single. A direct hit by New Zealand substitute fielder Henry Nicholls sent him back to the dressing room. Sohail scored 22 runs off 25 balls as Pakistan went on to post 280, the highest total of this three-match series.Sohail isn’t the only injury enforced absence for Pakistan in the second innings on Friday. Fakhar Zaman will not take the field either owing to a hamstring issue. It inhibited him immediately after reaching his eighth ODI hundred, and he went on to add just one run to his tally. Tayyab Tahir, who was called up to the Pakistan squad for the first time this ODI series after an impressive showing in the recently concluded domestic one-day competition, the Pakistan Cup, has come on as a substitute fielder.

Keemo Paul and Gudakesh Motie named in West Indies squad for World Cup Qualifier

Hetmyer continues to miss out; the squad for UAE series includes four uncapped players

West Indies have named allrounder Keemo Paul and left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie in the squad for the 2023 ODI World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe as well as the three-match series against UAE before that. Both Paul and Motie last played an ODI in July 2022 and were forced to miss the subsequent New Zealand series with injuries.Shimron Hetmyer, meanwhile, did not find a place in either squad.The roster for the UAE series, which will form part of the preparations for the qualifiers and will be played in Sharjah, also includes four uncapped players – left-hand batter Alick Athanaze, as well as allrounders Kavem Hodge, Dominic Drakes and Akeem Jordan.Paul had recently returned to domestic cricket, scoring 53 runs and taking five wickets for Guyana against Trinidad & Tobago in the four-day West Indies Championship in March. He is currently with Lucknow Super Giants as a net bowler in the IPL.”Paul is a three-dimensional player, who can bowl the new ball effectively, he is dynamic in the outfield and he can also make vital runs,” lead selector Desmond Haynes said. “He is now fully recovered from injury and with his skill set, we see him as a potential match-winner for us.”Motie was excellent in the Test matches in Zimbabwe earlier this year, where he took 19 wickets, and we anticipate similar conditions for the qualifiers. We believe he will again relish the chance to bowl in those conditions. He is also a capable batsman and good in the outfield.”ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Shai Hope will lead the side in both assignments. Brandon King will be his deputy for the UAE series, with Rovman Powell, who is currently playing in the IPL for Delhi Capitals, taking over for the World Cup Qualifier.Apart from Powell, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran, Romario Shepherd and Paul are the others from West Indies’ IPL contingent who are part of the World Cup Qualifier squad. All of them have been given permission to return to the Caribbean for a short break before arriving in Zimbabwe.”We see this as a crucial tournament as we look to secure one of the two places left in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 in India,” Haynes said. “Therefore, we have selected a balanced team which we believe is well-equipped to get the job done in the conditions we anticipate in Zimbabwe. It will be a challenging tournament, it will be intense and competitive, there is no doubt about that. In speaking to the players, they are fully aware of the job at hand. We are happy with the preparations and the mindset of the players, and everyone is clear about their roles in the squad.”For the matches against the UAE in Sharjah, this presents a chance for some other players who are not in the squad for the qualifiers to get an opportunity at the international level as we look to expose more players.”Squad for UAE series: Shai Hope (capt), Brandon King (vice-capt), Alick Athanaze, Shamarh Brooks, Yannic Cariah, Keacy Carty, Roston Chase, Dominic Drakes, Kavem Hodge, Akeem Jordan, Gudakesh Motie, Keemo Paul, Raymon Reifer, Odean Smith, Devon ThomasSquad for World Cup Qualifier: Shai Hope (capt), Rovman Powell (vice-capt), Shamarh Brooks, Yannic Cariah, Keacy Carty, Roston Chase, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Gudakesh Motie, Keemo Paul, Nicholas Pooran, Romario Shepherd

Liverpool ready to trigger £125m clause to sign 124-goal striker over Isak

Liverpool are ready to trigger a £125m release clause to sign a free-scoring striker over Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak.

Isak helps Newcastle to EFL Cup final win over Liverpool

The Reds suffered Wembley heartbreak in the final of the EFL Cup against Newcastle, with Arne Slot’s side losing 2-0 to the Magpies.

A Dan Burn header on the stroke of half-time was followed up by an effort from Isak in the second half, with Federico Chiesa’s late goal only proving to be a consolation.

Slot can axe Jota for Liverpool teen who's a "better finisher than Nunez"

Liverpool are planning for significant changes in the transfer market this summer.

1 ByAngus Sinclair Mar 19, 2025

There has been talk of FSG signing a new striker this summer, and Fabrizio Romano has recently claimed that Liverpool have made contact with Isak’s representatives. However, Arsenal are also keen on the Sweden international, who is valued at up to £160m.

“Newcastle keep insisting in private and in public that they want to keep Alexander Isak. They hope to be in the Champions League next season but, in any case, they want to keep Alexander Isak at the club, so that’s the message from Newcastle. But I keep telling you that big, big, massive proposals will come to the table for Alexander Isak because Arsenal will be there, Arsenal want Isak.

“[Benjamin] Sesko is the other name on the list but, for sure, Isak and Sesko are the main names. Liverpool are also there for Alexander Isak, they already made some contacts with people close to the player, so both clubs are interested in Alexander Isak. For Arsenal, he is the absolute top target. For Liverpool, he’s one of names they are considering in that position.”

Another attacker on the Reds’ radar is Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez.

alvarez-atletico-madrid

There have been reports that Liverpool were lining up a club-record bid to sign the former Man City star, and a new update has now emerged.

Liverpool ready to trigger £125m clause to sign Julian Alvarez

According to a report from Spain, Liverpool are planning to spend €300m (£250m) on three new signings this summer. The three players in question are Alvarez, attacking midfielder Xavi Simons and centre-back Alessandro Bastoni.

Alvarez looks set to be the most expensive of the trio, with the report claiming that Liverpool are ‘prepared to pay’ his €150m (£125m) release clause.

It is added that the Argentine’s ‘ability to play in various attacking positions makes him an ideal fit for Slot’, and it looks as if a £125m move is on the cards.

The Atletico Madrid man has impressed in his first season under Diego Simeone, scoring 23 goals and registering five assists in 44 appearances, taking his career tally to 144 goals.

ميدو يهاجم لاعبي الأهلي بعد الخسارة أمام بالميراس: لا يمتلكون أساسيات كرة القدم وريبيرو خبرته قليلة

علق أحمد حسام ميدو، لاعب ومدرب الزمالك السابق، على خسارة الأهلي أمام بالميراس البرازيلي في المباراة التي جمعت بين الفريقين، ضمن منافسات كأس العالم للأندية، أمس الخميس.

الأهلي سقط أمام بالميراس، بهدفين دون رد، في إطار الجولة الثانية من مواجهات دور المجموعات لبطولة كأس العالم للأندية المقامة بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية.

طالع | ماذا قال ريبيرو بعد خسارة الأهلي أمام بالميراس في كأس العالم للأندية؟

وقال ميدو خلال تصرحات عبر قناة “السعودية الرياضية” لبرنامج “دورينا غير”: “مدرب بالميراس كان ذكيًا، استطاع أن يستنفذ طاقة الأهلي في الشوط الأول، والأحمر كان لديه استحواذًا ولكن لم يكن الأفضل”.

وأضاف: “بالميراس من الفرق التي تتحكم في اللعب بدون كرة، وفي الشوط الثاني المدرب عمل على ضغط الأهلي من الأمام ونجح في ذلك وسجل هدفين”.

وتابع: “على الجانب الآخر، مدرب الأهلي خوسيه ريبيرو، خبرته قليلة جدًا في الماتشات الكبيرة، اتسحب وراء أسلوب مدرب بالميراس، وعمل على تقدم الباكات محمد هاني ويحيى عطية الله، لكن لا توجد خطة لديه وقام بتضيق الملعب على نفسه بدخول زيزو في وسط الملعب”.

وأردف: “أنا كمصري، وليس أهلي أو زمالك، كنت حزينًا، لأن المفروض أن الأهلي يشارك في البطولة كأفضل فريق في مصر، ولاعبيه تقدم مردودًا أعلي حتى في حالة الخسارة، لكن لا توجد أساسيات كرة القدم عند عدد كبيرة من لاعبي الأهلي”.

وأستمر: “حزين على حال الكرة المصرية بشكل عام وحديثي ليس عن الأهلي فقط، لأنها وصلت لهذا الشكل، ولا بد من مراجعة أنفسنا في مصر”.

وأتم: “وصلنا لهذا الشكل، بسبب أن الإعلام في مصر يعظم ويفخم من لاعبين محدودي الإمكانيات، يظهرون أمام فرق أقل في الدوري المصري، لكن عندما تكون المواجهة أمام فريق أعلى تظهر الامكانيات الحقيقية للاعبين”.
