Stuart Broad has insisted England’s bowlers were right to skip the IPL to ensure they remain fresh for international duty despite criticism from Kevin Pietersen that it will leave them playing catch-up at the World Twenty20 in West Indies.Although five of England’s squad for the tournament are currently in India -Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Eoin Morgan, Michael Lumb and Ravi Bopara – they are all members of the top order while the bowlers have been resting tired or injured limbs after the winter.Broad would have been likely to secure major interest from an IPL franchise but he took the decision to skip the tournament for the second time, with a view to his England commitments in the year ahead, which include the Ashes tour in November. James Anderson could probably have fetched an IPL contract if he so wished but missed the tour of Bangladesh to recover from the knee injury which troubled him in South Africa, while Tim Bresnan wasn’t picked up at auction.”I’ve been back bowling for two sessions and we’ve got warm-up matches [in West Indies] before the Twenty20,” Broad said. “It would obviously have been good to have played a bit more Twenty20 cricket leading into the World Cup, but I thought I needed a bit of a rest and Jimmy had a bit of a niggle. I feel better for having the break ahead of a busy international summer and the winter.”However, Broad still aims to join the IPL at some point in his career, although if he maintains his stance of putting his international role first, it will prove hard to find time. Lalit Modi, the IPL commissioner, has said next year’s tournament will start a few days after the World Cup finishes in April. “It’s certainly something I’ll look to do in the future because to improve as an England side the players will have to play a bit more,” he said.England’s bowlers are being carefully managed at the start of the domestic season with Broad, who lost 4kgs during his Bangladesh exertions, still being rested – along with Graeme Swann – from Nottinghamshire duty, although Anderson is playing for Lancashire against Warwickshire this week before his workload is reassessed.”It’s a bit more hectic on your body as a fast bowler rather than a batsman,” said Broad at the launch of the PCA’s MVP rankings. “I know a lot of batsmen, when they are in form, just like to keep hitting balls, but as a bowler you can’t bowl every day because you’ll break down. There is a balance but we get looked after fantastically by all the medical staff to make sure we stay on the park.”When England’s bowling unit heads out to West Indies they will be under the wing of a new coach after David Saker’s appointment last week. So far the players have admitted not knowing much about him, but Broad hopes to tap into a little local knowledge from his Nottinghamshire (and former England) team-mate Darren Pattinson.”Darren has worked with him at Victoria so I’ll have a word with him,” said Broad, who was yesterday named one of ‘s five Cricketers of the Year. “I assume he’s coming with us to the Twenty20 but I’m not sure. I’m looking forward to working with him, he comes with a really good reputation and some people have some fine words to say about him.”Broad’s form and fitness will be key for England at the World Twenty20 as they aim to end their drought at global events. They remain the only one of the eight long-term international nations not to have won a trophy and Broad knows that needs to change.”It’s something we have talked about and we need to get on the board,” he said. “That can start in the next couple of weeks, but we aren’t going to put extra pressure on ourselves by thinking we haven’t won these sorts of tournaments before. If we can get a good start and carry the momentum through it’s a short tournament and you can go all the way.”

أحمد دياب يرد على خطاب الأهلي بشأن أعداد الجماهير في الجولة الأولى بالدوري

رد أحمد دياب رئيس رابطة الأندية المصرية المحترفة، على خطاب الأهلي بشأن أعداد الجماهير في المدرجات خلال مباريات الدوري الممتاز، بعد تداول لقطات لجماهير الزمالك حيث ظهروا بأعداد كبيرة في استاد المقاولون العرب خلال لقاء سموحة، بالمقارنة لما كانت عليه جماهير القلعة الحمراء، في مباراة الإسماعيلي بالجولة الأولى.

وقال دياب في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “أون تايم”: “تلقينا خطابًا من النادي الأهلي، وبدأنا التحرك بشأنه، ولدينا موافقة على حضور 6 آلاف مشجع في كل مباراة، 3 آلاف لكل ناد، وكل المؤسسات المسؤولة عن ملف الجماهير على مسافة واحدة من كل أندية الدوري وتريد مصلحتهم”.

وأضاف: “ندرس في الفترة الحالية طلب النادي الأهلي، وأرسلنا لكل الجهات ونحن على مسافة واحدة من الجميع، وندرس الأمر من كل الجوانب وما يهم الناس هي الثوابت”.

واستأنف: “وارد أن تكون الصور أظهرت العدد أكبر، ووارد من زاوية أخرى تختلف الأمور، ونبحث حاليًا خطاب الأهلي، وطلبنا مقاطع مصورة من التلفزيون وراسلنا استاد المقاولون العرب، وبعد ذلك سنرد على النادي الأهلي”.

وعن أزمة البث وحقوق الأندية منه التي أثارت جدلاً واسعاً خلال الفترة الماضية على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي، قال: “بيع البث فردي، ولكن كل ناد يحتفظ بعلامته التجارية دون تدخل من الرابطة أو اتحاد الكرة”.

مدرب فيوتشر: هدفنا الحفاظ على المركز الرابع في الدوري.. وأول أغسطس فريق محترم

وأردف: “يوجد عبء كبير جدًا على الشركة الراعية بسبب أن الدوري ليس مُشفرًا، لذلك البيع الجماعي للبث صعب”.

وواصل: “كل الأرقام المطروحة على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي بشأن ما يتقاضاه الأهلي أو الزمالك من حقوق البث غير دقيقة، لأن الأرقام في التعاقدات بين الشركة والأندية بها سرية معلومات”.

وتابع: “الأندية تخسر عندما تعتمد على مداخيل الشركة الراعية فقط، والحل الوحيد هو إنشاء شركات لكرة القدم في الأندية من أجل وضع ميزانية خاصة للكرة، ونسير في هذا الاتجاه، وهذا سيسبب تراجع تعاقدات اللاعبين شيئًا فشيء، وهذه الخطة ستظهر نتائجها بعد 3 سنوات”.

واستكمل: “سيكون هناك تعديل في جدول الدوري تقديم وتأخير على الجولة الثالثة والرابعة، وهذا تنسيق لحدث كبير ومهم سيقام في مصر وهو مؤتمر المناخ وستكون بلدنا محط أنظار العالم كله، وسنعلن عن التعديل صباح اليوم”.

واختتم: “حرصنا على رعاية كل ما يخص منتخب مصر وطلبات فيتوريا قبل ما وضع جدول الدوري”.

 

Vettori eyes Chigumbura in must-win match

New Zealand’s captain Daniel Vettori has identified Elton Chigumbura as the danger man for Zimbabwe as the two teams prepare for Tuesday’s battle to decide who progresses to the Super Eights

“He’s probably won both their warm-up games for them … so we’ve got to try to put a bit of pressure on him and dismiss him early,” Daniel Vettori says of Elton Chigumbura•Getty Images

New Zealand’s captain Daniel Vettori has identified Elton Chigumbura as the danger man for Zimbabwe as the two teams prepare for Tuesday’s battle to decide who progresses to the Super Eights. New Zealand are in a strong position, having beaten Sri Lanka in the tournament opener, but a loss to Zimbabwe would bring the equation down to net run-rate.Zimbabwe were on the wrong end of the Duckworth-Lewis calculations against Sri Lanka on Monday and need a healthy win to have any chance of staying in the competition. Vettori noted Zimbabwe’s strong form in the practice matches and he said getting Chigumbura cheaply would be a key.”They’ve played pretty well, if you look at the warm-up games as well where they beat Australia and Pakistan,” Vettori said. “They have some form on their side. They were a little bit unlucky with the rain and the Duckworth-Lewis system today but we see them as a threat and we know we’ll have to play pretty well to beat them.”Chigumbura has been pretty impressive for them. He’s probably won both their warm-up games for them, so whilst he bats down the order, when he comes in we’ve got to try to put a bit of pressure on him and dismiss him early.”Vettori said New Zealand were unlikely to make any changes from the team that beat Sri Lanka. Kyle Mills has been added to the side to form a 12 but he will almost certainly be carrying the drinks, with New Zealand not prepared to take anything but their best outfit in to the match.”We’re in a must-win situation as well, which I think is a good thing for us so we don’t have the chance to slacken off,” Vettori said. “We have to go in there and win the game. We want to win it comprehensively and not worry about run-rates. Zimbabwe have played pretty well in this tournament.”

Chapecoense negocia para contratar lateral Eduardo em 2018, diz site

MatériaMais Notícias

A Chapecoense está negociando para fechar com o lateral-direito Eduardo. O jogador, de 31 anos, defendeu o Bahia em 2017 e atualmente tem contrato com o Atlético-PR até o fim deste ano.A informação foi dada pelo Globo Esporte.

A Chape busca no mercado um atleta para a posição, que já conta com Apodi. Patric, do Atlético-MG, chegou a ser sondado pelo clube, mas a negociação não avançou.

O clube paranaense não tem interesse em renovar vínculo com Eduardo. Já o Bahia, onde atuou em 2016 e 2017, ofereceu um ano de contrato para o jogador, mas o atleta e seu empresário queriam um tempo maior.

Em caso de acordo, a tendência é que Eduardo assine com a Chape por dois anos. Em Santa Catarina, ele já vestiu as cores de Criciúma e Joinville.

Aston Villa must land James McAtee transfer

Aston Villa have been busier than most teams across the whole of Europe in this January transfer window when it comes to bringing new players to the Midlands club such as Philippe Coutinho, Lucas Digne, Robin Olsen and Calum Chambers.

With that in mind and the fact that the Villans still have some time left to make yet another late swoop after bringing Chambers in from Arsenal just a couple of days ago.

One player that they could try and make a deal for before Monday is Manchester City youngster James McAtee, who has been mentioned to have caught the eye of Villa in recent days thanks to his performances for City’s U23 side.

As a young, English attacking-midfielder, the City prospect could be seen as Steven Gerrard’s own version of former Villa star Jack Grealish, who joined the reigning Premier League champions and current league leaders back in the previous summer transfer window in a deal worth a reported fee of £100m.

Also, with the 19-year-old sharing similar qualities to the former Villa captain in terms of being able to score goals and provide assists with 42 goals and 26 assists under his belt in 84 appearances for City’s youth and senior sides, he could be an exciting talent for Gerrard to have at his disposal.

In terms of a potential late move to Villa, with the teenager, who has been labelled as one of the club’s “exceptional” young talents by Pep Guardiola, only having appeared in three senior games for City so far, he may feel that he would be better off at a Premier League club where he’d be more likely to get some first-team minutes under his belt, which could be at Villa Park should Gerrard see enough potential in him.

In addition to that, with current Villa youngster Carney Chukwuemeka apparently not keen on signing a new deal at the Midlands club due to a lack of regular game time, if he were set to leave Villa, this could pave the way for McAtee to get a shot at impressing in the first team.

Moving forward, before the window closes, Villa should definitely make an approach to City to see what the situation is surrounding the young prospect and if they would be willing to negotiate a deal for him.

If not, McAtee is definitely a player that Villa should keep their eyes on for the future in case his situation at the Manchester club does change.

Liverpool confident over Salah contract

Liverpool are reportedly confident that Mohamed Salah will sign a new deal at the club, with Luis Diaz’s arrival not affecting the situation whatsoever.

The Lowdown: Salah’s deal expiring soon

The 29-year-old has arguably stood out as the world’s best player this season, scoring 23 goals and registering nine assists for the Reds in all competitions.

Worryingly, Salah’s current deal expires in the summer of 2023, and talks regarding a new-and-improved contract at Anfield are still yet to show any real signs of progress, at least from the outside looking in.

Of course, if an agreement cannot be found, it will surely cross FSG’s mind that they are better off cashing in this summer than losing him for free in 15 months time, but a fresh update suggests that Liverpool fans’ worries could be eased soon.

[freshpress-quiz id=“375258″]

The Latest: New update emerges

According to Football Insider, a Liverpool source believes a new deal may soon be agreed for Salah, revealing the Reds are ‘confident’ and acting as an enormous boost for anyone associated with the club.

It is stated that talks could ramp up once the forward returns from Africa Cup of Nations duty, with Egypt taking on Sadio Mane’s Senegal in the final on Sunday.

The Verdict: Simply has to be extend

The idea of Salah moving on, either this summer or when his contract runs out, simply doesn’t bear thinking about, given his vast influence at Liverpool.

He is already undoubtedly one of the all-time great Reds players – his record of 148 goals in 229 appearances is astonishing. He has been hailed as ‘extraordinary’ by former Arsenal striker Ian Wright, and his incredible fitness levels suggest he will remain a top player well into his thirties.

Liverpool’s owners divide opinion amongst the fanbase but failing to sort a new contract for Salah would be inexcusable, potentially even defining their entire reign at the club.

In other news, Liverpool and Manchester City are reportedly tracking the same player. Find out who it is here.

Volante artilheiro surge como surpresa do Santos na Copinha

MatériaMais Notícias

Se o destaque do Santos na campanha da Copinha até o momento atende pelo nome de Gabriel Calabrês, outro jogador também merece destaque: o volante Lucas Sebastian. Um dos artilheiros da equipe na competição com dois gols marcados e uma assistência, o camisa 14 conquistou seu espaço e deve ser titular nas oitavas de final desta segunda-feira, às 17h30, diante do Atlético-PR.

Volante com números de atacante, Sebastian participou de todos os jogos do Peixe até o momento, mas conquistou a condição de titular nas últimas partidas com o técnico Aarão Alves. Para apresentar boas atuações e surpreender os adversários com sua boa chegada à frente, o garoto dá a receita: trabalho duro e até mesmo em dois períodos.

– Muito trabalho. Venho me empenhando e quando trabalhamos firme, as coisas acontecem. Trabalhamos em dois períodos e dou meu melhor para as coisas acontecerem. O futebol está moderno. Vejo vídeos de meias e volantes do futebol internacional e procuro executar nos treinos – disse o jovem, após entrar na defesa do Figueirense dando um elástico no triunfo que classificou o Peixe para as oitavas da Copinha.

Após disputar primeira, segunda e terceira fase no castigado gramado do Novorizontino, sede do Peixe na Copinha, os Meninos da Vila agora disputam as oitavas de final em Franca. Mesmo mudando de ares, Sebastian não pretende abrir mão de seu ritual: conversar com o pai, que teve curta carreira como jogador de futebol, antes e depois das partidas.

– Converso bastante com meu pai. Ele sempre me deu apoio. Procuro pegar experiência e ele entende um pouco. Ele tentou jogar no Flamengo, mas teve uma carreira curta. Ele era centroavante. -, explicou.

Cork and McKenzie steady Hampshire

Former England allrounder Dominic Cork hit an unbeaten 54 as Hampshire had the better of the opening day with Essex at the Rose Bowl

04-Jun-2010
ScorecardFormer England allrounder Dominic Cork hit an unbeaten 54 as Hampshire had the better of the opening day with Essex at the Rose Bowl. Cork hit five fours and a six off 104 balls as Hampshire made the best of winning the toss on an easy-paced wicket to reach 298 for 7 from 96 overs at stumps.Cork featured in a stand of 100 in 30 overs with South African Neil McKenzie as Hampshire recovered from a middle-order stutter. Nic Pothas, standing in again as captain after more injury problems to Dimitri Mascarenhas, chose to bat first and would have been happy with the progress his team made despite the early loss of opener Jimmy Adams.Adams was caught behind off Maurice Chambers with only nine on the board but Michael Lumb and Michael Carberry repaired the damage until Pakistani spinner Danish Kaneria came into the attack. Lumb was bowled by Kaneria for 31 with the score at 84 and then David Marsters put paid to Carberry 18 runs later. Carberry, who made his England debut against Bangladesh in the winter, hit nine fours in making exactly 50 before mistiming a drive.James Vince, one of Hampshire’s promising young batsmen, was in superb touch with nine fours in his 44 before Chambers clutched a return catch at 168. Kaneria soon accounted for Sean Ervine and then Ravi Bopara trapped Pothas to leave Hampshire 190 for 6.But the dependable McKenzie was then joined by Cork and Hampshire soon repaired the damage in the afternoon sunshine. McKenzie looked set for his second Hampshire century until Bopara beat his defences and bowled him for 83 in an innings which included 11 boundaries from 163 balls. But Cork was in flamboyant mood and saw Hampshire through to stumps with the initiative firmly in their grasp.Chambers finished with economical figures of 2 for 48 from 18 overs while Kaneria got through 26 overs to finish with 2 for 70. England fringe player Bopara also took two wickets, for 33, as Essex battled hard to stem the flow of runs.Cork is nearing the 10,000 runs and 1,000 wickets career double and his unbeaten half-century leaves him just under 500 runs short of his first target, while he has 936 first-class wickets to his name.
