Two points for Academy but Trojans are fired up

The Hampshire Academy need only two points from tomorrow’s visit to Stoneham Lane to clinch the Southern Electric Premier League Division 2 championship

Mike Vimpany (as published in Daily Echo)29-Aug-2002The Hampshire Academy need only two points from tomorrow’s visit to Stoneham Lane to clinch the Southern Electric Premier League Division 2 championship.But they’ll find relegation-threatened Trojans fired up, ready to make one last ditch attempt to stave off the drop into Division 3."A fortnight ago, we were goners," confessed Trojans skipper Simon Williams. "Since then, we’ve beaten United Services and Lymington – and given ourselves a mathematical chance of staying up."I accept we need a big win tomorrow – but I’ve told the boys they are capable of achieving it."Trojans are certain to be without Tim Osman, who is getting married. "But I’ve persuaded a few of the others to join Tim at the reception, where they can hopefully toast our survival as well."Tony Middleton expects to have a full strength side at his disposal, although quite a number of the Under-19 side will be on the coach bound for Bristol – and the ECB final – immediately after the game.Trojans will, however, need a helping hand from Winchester KS at the Romsey Sports Centre if they are to survive."If Old Tauntonians & Romsey get eight points against them it’s curtains for us – but that’s out of our hands completely," Williams added.The outcome of the Hungerford-Rowledge match could also have impact at the bottom. A 22-point win for Rowledge, currently bottom, would do neither OT’s nor Trojans any good at all.Second-placed Easton & Martyr Worthy entertain Lymington, with Sparsholt visiting United Services.Purbrook, already assured of promotion after last week’s thrilling one-run win at Hursley Park, need ten points from Ventnor’s visit to Purbrook Heath, where South African Willem Prozesky still has his eyes firmly fixed on beating Robin Smith’s all-time league 1,015 run record.He took his season’s tally to 924 after striking a superbly executed century at the Quarters last week and is certain to curb his naturally aggressive instincts as he goes for his fourth hundred of the summer against Ventnor tomorrow.St Cross Symondians, meanwhile, require five points from Havant II’s visit to the Royal Green Jackets Ground to clinch the probably runners-up spot…. and the second promotion place.But Havant are going well, having won their last five matches, with opening pair Simon Greenfield and Jon Owen in particularly good form.In-form Gosport, though, could finish third if they beat off-colour Flamingo.Hursley Park wind up their programme at New Milton, while Redlynch & Hale will be saying their goodbye – after a fleeting excursion into the Premier League – at one-time leaders Alton.

ميرور: لتحقيق رغبة رونالدو.. مانشستر يونايتد يتخذ قرارًا بشأن ملعب التدريبات

ذكرت تقارير صحفية أن نادي مانشستر يونايتد اتخذ قرارًا بشأنه ملعبه التدريبي بعد تلقي شكاوى من البرتغالي كريستيانو رونالدو.

سجل يونايتد أسوأ موسم له في حقبة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز بأدنى حصيلة من النقاط على الإطلاق، حيث أنهى 2021/22 في المركز السادس واكتفى بالتأهل إلى الدوري الأوروبي.

في غضون ذلك، أنهى رونالدو الموسم برصيد 24 هدفًا في جميع المسابقات، ولم يخجل من إظهار إحباطاته على أرض الملعب في عدة مناسبات.

ومع ذلك، ذكرت صحيفة “ميرور” الإنجليزية، أن رونالدو أوضح أيضًا لمسؤولي مانشستر يونايتد أنه غير سعيد ببعض أجزاء ملعب التدريب، وستبدأ أعمال التحسين قبل الموسم التحضيري.

وأوضحت أن رونالدو لم يرغب في استخدام حمامات السباحة في كارينجتون، لأن البلاط السائب والمكسور جعل الأمر خطيرًا.

يُزعم أن رونالدو أخبر إدارة الشياطين الحمر أنه يعتقد أن المسبح لم يتم تجديده منذ أن غادر النادي في عام 2009.

وقال مصدر في يونايتد للصحيفة: “كريستيانو صوت مهم في ملعب التدريب، في الماضي كان من الممكن أن يقول اللاعبون شيئًا ولكن لم يحدث شيء، إذا تحدث كريستيانو، فإن الناس يستمعون، ويلاحظون الأمور تميل إلى التغيير”.

في غضون ذلك، ذكرت صحيفة “تليجراف” أن مانشستر يونايتد قرر إنفاق حوالي 5 ملايين جنيه إسترليني على تحسين “كارينجتون” هذا الصيف.

قام النادي بالفعل بتحسين مرافق تقديم الطعام ومنطقة تناول الطعام خلال الموسم، ويقومون بتجديد الصالة الرياضية والمسبح وتركيب ملاعب جديدة قبل بداية الموسم المقبل.

Cricketers must observe Ramazan's sanctity

Local cricketers have been urged to stick to the rules laid down by KCCA when playing in Ramazan tournaments

25-Oct-2002Local cricketers have been urged to stick to the rules laid down by KCCA when playing in Ramazan tournaments.”Cricketers are strictly advised to observe the sanctity of Ramazan-ul-Mubarak in true spirit when they participate in various tournaments during the holy month,” said Sirajul Islam Bukhari here Thursday during a press briefing for eighth Tapal Trophy Ramazan Festival Cricket Tournament.Giving details of this major event, Bukhari, the KCCA honorary secretary, said that 16 top local teams from various departments and clubs will be vying for honours in the tournament, scheduled to be played at UBL Sports Complex from Nov 7 to Dec 3.Winners of this year’s edition will pocket Rs 150,000 while the runners-up will receive Rs 75,000.Besides there will be individual cash awards, such as Man-of-the-Tournament (Rs 10,000), Best Batsman (Rs 5,000), Best Bowler (Rs 5,000), Best Fielder (Rs 5,000).

Gers in SPFL hot water

Glasgow Rangers have snubbed new SPFL title sponsor Cinch, which has now led to a legal dispute with the league’s governing body.

The Lowdown: Gers kick off Premiership campaign

The Gers started the defence of their Premiership title on Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Livingston – they already lead Celtic by three points after they were defeated 2-1 by Hearts.

Next up, the Gers face Malmo in the Champions League third qualifying round as they aim to reach the group stages of the competition.

The Latest: Gers in hot water

Against Livingston, the Gers did not feature Cinch on their sleeves, while they also refused to advertise the sponsor on their hoardings around the pitch.

As such, the Gers are in a battle with the SPFL as the former believe there are gaps in the contract, meaning there is no need for them to fill the obligations (The Daily Record).

The Verdict: Needless row

This, quite frankly, feels like a needless row. The Gers do have a fraught relationship with the SPFL, of course, and there is clearly no love lost between the two (The Herald).

However, this does feel like an argument for the sake of one between the two sides as the season starts.

In this case, the SPFL have managed to bring in a new sponsor that will no doubt benefit all of the clubs in the top flight. It feels a little in this case that Rangers have decided to cut their nose off to spite their face. They have a huge season ahead of them – they should be looking for as few distractions as possible.

In other news, Rangers fans were livid with this journalist’s tweet.

Estilo de jogo e bola aérea: São Paulo tem preocupações contra Corinthians

MatériaMais Notícias

Sem muito tempo para preparar a equipe para o clássico contra o Corinthians, o técnico Rogério Ceni tem algumas preocupações no São Paulo, principalmente com o estilo de jogo do rival e as bolas aéreas.

Especialmente quando é visitante, o Corinthians costuma esperar o adversário e sair em contra-ataques, estilo semelhante ao do Cruzeiro, que derrotou o São Paulo no Morumbi por 2 a 0, pela ida da quarta fase da Copa do Brasil. Ciente disso, Rogério Ceni não pensa em mudar o estilo de o Tricolor atuar no clássico deste domingo.

– Nós vamos jogar do mesmo jeito, para vencer, tentar ter a posse de bola, atacar e buscar o gol. O modo do futebol para mim é o mesmo, quero a posse de bola e ficar no campo do adversário, esses são meus objetivos – afirmou o treinador.

O zagueiro Rodrigo Caio também analisou o estilo de jogo corintiano. O defensor deu a receita do que o São Paulo tem de fazer para conseguir furar a marcação adversária.

– O Cruzeiro jogou com uma formação muito fechada, com praticamente cinco jogadores no meio de campo. Tivemos poucos espaços para entrar do meio para frente, não conseguimos trocar passes e isso dificultou muito para a criação. A gente sabe que a característica do Corinthians é igual, é um time que marca muito forte e sai no contra-ataque, eles fizeram isso no 1 a 1 (no último clássico), é um time que joga por uma bola e domingo não vai ser diferente. Temos que ter calma, rodar a bola e caprichar na finalização. Quando fizermos o primeiro gol, acredito que eles vão se abrir mais e vamos ter oportunidade de marcar outros gols – analisou Rodrigo Caio.

Além do estilo de jogo, outra preocupação do São Paulo é com as bolas aéreas. O Cruzeiro marcou as duas vezes assim, e no último clássico contra o Corinthians o atacante Jô empatou de cabeça.

Como o São Paulo jogou quinta-feira contra o Cruzeiro, o técnico Rogério Ceni terá apenas o treino deste sábado para ajustar a equipe para o clássico diante do Corinthians. A missão é difícil.

Rodrigo Caio minimiza fair play, mas diz: 'Gol impedido como no Morumbi'

MatériaMais Notícias

O principal personagem desses dois confrontos de semifinal entre São Paulo e Corinthians, sem dúvidas, foi Rodrigo Caio. Se não fosse pela sua atitude de avisar ao árbitro Luiz Flávio de Oliveira que não havia sido Jô quem tocou em Renan Ribeiro, e sim ele, o corintiano estaria suspenso para jogar na Arena.

No entanto, por ironia do destino, o campeão olímpico não pode contar com a competência da arbitragem nas duas partidas. Segundo ele, o Tricolor acabou prejudicado pelos homens do apito e aproveitou para minimizar seu ato de fair play, que acabou ajudando Jô a marcar mais um gol.

– Isso (fair play) já faz parte do passado, o que eu fiz foi uma pequena coisa, não é nada demais, qualquer um poderia ter feito o gol. A gente fica triste pela forma como foi, impedido novamente, como no Morumbi, mas vida que segue, a gente tem continuar trabalhando. Sabemos que estamos no caminho certo, infelizmente a gente perdeu, saímos de duas competições, mas a gente deu nosso melhor, teve o domínio nos dois últimos jogos – valorizou.

Para Rodirgo Caio, o São Paulo não teve atuações ruins nas últimas eliminações, principalmente contra o Cruzeiro, mas lamentou ter chegado aos jogos como visitante em desvantagem e pediu foco nas próximas competições.

– Lá tivemos oportunidades, sonhamos bastante ali no jogo, criamos muito, tivemos várias chances claras, infelizmente não conseguimos a classificação. Hoje, novamente perdemos a classificação no jogo do Morumbi. Perdemos por 2 a 0 e sabemos a dificuldade que é jogar aqui, reverter o placar, mas é vida que segue. Temos duas competições pela frente e a gente espera que a gente tenha bons resultados -finalizou.

O São Paulo agora só volta a jogar no dia 11 de maio, pela Copa Sul-Americana, quando enfrenta o Defensa y Justicia, no Morumbi. Na Argentina, o jogo terminou empatado em 0 a 0. Qualquer vitória ou empate com gols dá a classificação ao Tricolor.

Aaron Boupendza: West Ham’s next Antonio?

West Ham could find another Michail Antonio if David Moyes reignites interest in one of his striker targets this summer…

What’s the word?

Back in March, 90min listed the Irons among the teams monitoring Hatayspor striker Aaron Boupendza ahead of a potential move, and now they have learned how much it’ll cost to prise the 24-year-old away.

According to honorary president Lutfu Savas to Turkish outlet Sabah, they will only let the versatile Gabonese frontman leave for €8m (£6.8m).

The Hammers are likely to face competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal, where Boupendza’s fellow countryman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is captain, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and Southampton, to name just a few.

Shades of Antonio?

Moyes has had Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham atop his shortlist for most of the summer but any move for him seems to be dead in the water after ExWHUemployee revealed that he had no intention of joining the East London outfit.

It leaves the 58-year-old in a sticky situation as he’s heading into the new season with only one senior striker in Antonio, so something needs to happen soon.

Perhaps he should look to reignite his interest in Boupendza, especially as there are plenty of similarities to be had with the 31-year-old forward.

The 16-cap Gabon international found the net a whopping 22 times during the 2020/21 campaign, which was the most in the Turkish top-flight.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-west-ham-news-transfer-rumours-the-latest-gossip-and-more” title= “Read the latest West Ham news, transfer rumours, gossip and much more!”]

He did so playing both centrally and out on the wing, In fact, 24 of his 38 appearances came on the left flank, whilst he was deployed through the middle on eight occasions.

Before the intervention of Moyes, Antonio began life as a right winger but has emerged as a prolific marksman ever since that transformation. Last season, he finished the campaign as the Hammers’ top scorer on ten goals.

Boupendza has similar abilities, having been described as a very strong dribbler and finisher by WhoScored, which is backed up by his average of 3.1 shots and 2.6 dribbles per league outing last season.

Furthermore, the 24-year-old gem has been lauded as a “very good footballer” and a “goal machine” by Hatayspor president Nihat Tazearslan.

The 5 foot 11 dynamo has even been likened to Kylian Mbappe and considering his nickname is the “panther”, it suggests that he has explosive speed which could devastate defences in the Premier League.

Evidently, Boupendza has an eye for goal and he could well be worth a chance for just £6.8m, especially considering Moyes’ coaching – something we’ve seen first-hand with Antonio.

GSB should look to get him in following the recent Abraham setback.

AND in other news, Moyes risks repeating fatal Pellegrini mistake if West Ham sign £120k-p/w “passenger”…

David Morgan, the ICC president-elect, has said he hopes new spectators, drawn to the game by Twenty20, will come to love the other formats as well.”I’m proud that Twenty20, a format first developed by the England and Wales Cricket Board, had such a widespread appeal, bringing in new, wider and young audience, which ICC welcomes,” Morgan said at the closing ceremony for the Indian Premier League.Morgan felt cricket was fortunate to possess three formats. “[That is] Twenty20, which thrilled so many people, one-day cricket which is equally thrilling and Test cricket, the pinnacle. In fact, last week all three formats were evident with two great Test matches in Kingston and Manchester.”Congratulating the Indian board and Lalit Modi, the IPL commissioner, for the tournament’s success, Morgan said it had changed the face of domestic cricket around the world. “It has provided opportunities for other cricket playing nations [to take it forward]. It has got widespread appeal and has attracted new audiences to the game.”There are plans to organise a Champions League – a tournament involving the top two domestic Twenty20 teams from various countries – in England in October this year, following the Champions Trophy.

Adílson quer continuidade no Atlético-MG: 'Mostrar meu valor'

MatériaMais Notícias

Numa disputa por posição que envolve Elias, Rafael Carioca e o machucado Lucas Cândido, Adílson não desiste de uma vaga no meio- campo atleticano, nem que para isso o Atlético-MG tenha que jogar com três volantes:

-Eu acho que a equipe fica um pouco mais compactada defensivamente (com três volantes). Pode ser interessante em alguns jogos, outros não. É bom que a gente tenha essas opções, jogar comigo, de outra maneira. Importante para mim é mostra meu valor quando for solicitado. Na Libertadores e no clássico eu pude mostrar um pouco como eu posso encaixar. Sempre respeitando as opções do treinador, quando eu cheguei o Galo já tinha uma equipe encaminhada. Meu método de trabalho é assim, vou buscar meu espaço e aguardar a oportunidade – comentou o camisa 21.

Ele também pregou que o seu futebol não é só violência e marcação, como costuma pregar a posição.Aos seus olhos, a sua exibição contra o Atlético-MG foi boa. Ele entrou aos 28 da etapa complementar, substituindo o meia Maicosuel.

– Eu diria que fui bem. Não acima disso. Se você avaliar os meus últimos anos, foi bem diferente. (No Galo) eu entrei sempre faltando 10, 15 minutos, em situações bem críticas e com um compromisso muito grande defensivo. Não pude ainda, tecnicamente, mostrar meu futebol. Foi muito mais para combater, fechar os espaços. Aos poucos, eu posso me soltar mais e contribuir um pouco mais na saída de jogo e ofensivamente também – completou Adílson.
