فاسكيز: توقيت هدف شاختار جعلنا غاضبين.. وسنصل الكلاسيكو ونحن واثقون

تحدث لوكاس فاسكيز لاعب ريال مدريد بعد تعادل فريقه في الدقائق الأخيرة أمام شاختار دونيستك الأوكراني في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وخطف روديجر هدف التعادل لريال مدريد في آخر دقائق اللقاء وتعرض لإصابة قوية على مستوى الرأس، حيث ظهرت الدماء على وجهه، وحسم الميرنجي التأهل لدور الـ16. أهداف مباراة ريال مدريد وشاختار

وقال فاسكيز في تصريحات نشرها موقع “يويفا” الرسمي عقب المباراة: “كانت تلك مباراة صعبة، بمجرد أن مضى شاختار قدمًا، لأنهم جعلوا الأمور أكثر صعوبة بالنسبة لنا”.

وأضاف: “كان الاختلاف الكبير هو النجاح مع الكرة كما فعلنا في البرنابيو، في الأسبوع الماضي، استخدمنا الاستحواذ بدقة أكبر وصنعنا فرصًا أكثر مما يمكننا هذه الليلة، لقد ركزوا في لعبتهم على المرتدات، وهذا كلفنا أكثر، حيث واجهتنا المشاكل”.

وأكد فاسكيز: “في الشوط الأول، تحدثنا جميعًا عن بدء الشوط الثاني بشكل صحيح، استقبال هدف بعد الاستراحة مباشرة، الأمر الذي يجعل كل شيء أكثر صعوبة، يجعلك غاضبًا”.

وواصل: “كنا نعرف أهمية هذه المباراة، وهذه النقطة جيدة لنا في المباراة القادمة”.

وعن زميله روديجر، أفاد: “بقدر ما يتعلق الأمر بـ روديجر، نأمل حقًا ألا يكون الأمر أكثر من كدمة”.

ريال مدريد سيلاقي برشلونة في كلاسيكو الليجا يوم الأحد القادم، وأتم فاسكيز: “نصل للكلاسيكو بشكل جيد، لم نخسر ونحن واثقون، يوم الأحد سنبذل قصارى جهدنا”.

Wrong to look at India negatively, says Howard

John Howard, poised to take over as ICC president from 2012, has said India’s massive standing in the current game should not be feared but rather embraced

The former Australian prime minister John Howard, poised to take over as ICC president from 2012, has said India’s massive standing in the current game should not be feared but rather embraced. On the day Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), one fourth of the powerful Asian bloc, said it would not oppose his nomination, Howard sought to downplay concerns over India’s powerful status.”India is the second most populous country in the world, it’s cricket-mad, they are plusses,” Howard told . “I think it’s entirely wrong to look at the Indian involvement in cricket in a negative light. I think of those millions of people in India and the subcontinent … who play cricket. They play it with a passion and love it.”Over the last decade the Indian board’s power grew exponentially with its bank balance and as the rest of cricket fell in line there have been many to state their wariness. A former ICC president, Malcolm Gray, once warned that Asia’s ambition to hold one in three World Cups was not in the best interests of the game, while certain members of the ECB structure in the 2000s expressed concern. Howard’s comments came a day after Muttiah Muralitharan, the word’s leading Test wicket-taker, said he would have a difficult time convincing the Asian bloc of his capabilities.However, Nishantha Ranatunga, the SLC secretary, told Cricinfo that any country had the right to nominate their choice for the post and it was not ethical for Sri Lanka to harp on incidents that had happened in the past. “We know that Howard as prime minister unruffled a few feathers calling Muttiah Muralitharan a chucker, but that is now a thing of the past,” he said. “We don’t want to harp on it any more. We have to look to the future and try to work cordially with whoever is elected to the ICC post. We have no control over people elected to that position.”Howard, who led Australia from 1996 to 2007, will have the position rubber stamped in June and will succeed India’s Sharad Pawar in two years. Responding to criticism that he lacked the required skills to hold the post of ICC president, Howard pointed to a 30-year political career. ”I think the fact I haven’t been involved in cricket administration is explained by the fact I had a day job which made that rather difficult,” he said.Howard’s nomination will be approved at the ICC’s executive board meeting in April and the position will be finalised at the annual conference in the middle of the year.

Após um ano parado, Neto já tem data para retornar aos campos

MatériaMais Notícias

Uma imagem que, com certeza, vai entrar para a história do Jogo das Estrelas, que este ano chega a sua 14ª edição. O zagueiro Neto, da Chapecoense, é um dos convidados de honra do anfitrião Zico e voltará a fazer o que mais gosta, que é jogar futebol. E já tem data, hora e dia marcados: dia 27 de dezembro, às 20h30, no Maracanã. Aliás, o jogador nem acreditou quando recebeu o convite daquele que sempre foi um dos ídolos da sua família.

Ainda no hospital, em dezembro do ano passado, numa fase ainda crítica após sobreviver ao acidente aéreo que vitimou 71 pessoas, Neto soube de um vídeo que Zico acabara de publicar em suas redes sociais, preocupado com sua situação e mandando energia positiva. Carioca da Pavuna, Zona Norte do Rio, ele diz que seu pai, Helam, sempre foi um fã incondicional do Galinho. Como nasceu em 1985, não teve a oportunidade de ver o craque jogar, mas…

– Mas meu pai tinha uma fita de videocassete com os gols dele e eu via sempre. O Zico consegue ser um ídolo de todas as gerações. Quando eu estava internado, ele fez um vídeo me desejando melhoras, dizendo que estava orando por mim e que já queria contar comigo no Jogo das Estrelas desse ano. Fiquei até sem ação quando me contaram. Só fui conseguir o contato dele recentemente e fiz questão de agradecê-lo, também em vídeo – contou Neto, emocionado.

E Neto já tem uma história pra contar sobre o Jogo das Estrelas antes mesmo de entrar em campo. Na edição de 2009, quando o Maracanã recebeu 72 mil pessoas, maior público registrado pelo evento beneficente até hoje, ele estava na arquibancada com o pai, os irmãos (Leonardo, Luiz e Helam), a esposa (Simone) e os filhos gêmeos (Helam e Helen). Ele lembra até que era o primeiro jogo da esposa e dos filhos no estádio.

Além de Neto, vários outros jogadores, do presente e do passado, já estão confirmados para a 14ª edição. São eles: Júnior, Carlos Alberto Santos, Aldair, Jorginho, Zinho, Aílton, Alcindo, Luizinho Quintanilha, Fernando (ex-zagueiro), Renato Gaúcho, Carlos Germano, Mauro Galvão, Donizete, Alex, Amoroso, Ronaldo Angelim, Alex Dias, Marinho, Bruno Silva e Léo Moura.

Os ingressos para a partida já estão à venda. Para adquiri-los, basta acessar o site oficial do evento (www.jogodasestrelas.com). Os setores Norte e Sul custam R$ 40 e Leste e Oeste, R$ 60 – todos eles com meia-entrada. Ainda estão à venda ingressos limitados de Maracanã Mais e camarotes. Já nas bilheterias, a comercialização só começa no dia 22.

Newcastle: Romano drops Diego Carlos update

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Newcastle United are “still pushing” to sign Sevilla defender Diego Carlos in this January transfer window.

What’s the story?

The Magpies have been linked with a number of defenders in recent weeks, including Lille’s Sven Botman, but it appears Eddie Howe’s side have got their sights set on Carlos.

After initial reports from The Telegraph’s Jason Burt that the club had indeed submitted a bid for the Brazilian, Romano has now delivered an update where things currently stand.

He said: “Newcastle are still pushing with Sevilla for Diego Carlos but fee not agreed as things stand.”

Fans will be buzzing

With the second-worst defensive record in the entire division this season, it’s no surprise that Eddie Howe has quickly turned his attentions towards pushing for a new central defender following the signing of Chris Wood earlier this week.

The 28-year-old Carlos would give the Magpies a monstrous defensive presence were he to join, boasting an impressive 4.2 duels won per game at a success rate of 64% – to put that into context, Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk has won 4.6 duels per match at a success rate of 71% in the Premier League.

And, in a player profile done by La Liga Analysis, they said: “He’s very strong in duels and knows how to use his body to destabilise his opponents. But even if he’s big and heavy, Diego Carlos is still a great athlete. He’s very powerful, his pace in long distances is great, and he’s surprisingly agile and flexible. These characteristics are the base of his game as he knows how to take advantage of his physical superiority.”

Carlos has played all but one of his side’s La Liga games this season, helping the Spanish outfit to the best defensive record in the league – a far cry from what Newcastle have got.

It’s exactly why Magpies fans will be buzzing with this latest development.

Meanwhile, Newcastle are eyeing another Brazilian defender too…

England sweat on Broad and Onions

England face an anxious wait to see if Stuart Broad and Graham Onions will be fit for the Test series against Bangladesh although were boosted when scans showed no major back problems in the two pacemen

England face an anxious wait to see if Stuart Broad and Graham Onions will be fit for the Test series against Bangladesh although were boosted when scans showed no major back problems in the two pacemen. They are hopeful the pair will be available for the first Test against Bangladesh on March 12 although neither will play the warm-up match starting on Sunday.England’s pace attack has been hit by a spate of injuries with Ryan Sidebottom ruled out of the Test series after aggravating a thigh problem during the first ODI, while Broad picked up his back problem during the second match and Onions has been struggling since arriving for the Tests.”Both players have back spasms as a result of bowling. MRI scans have ruled out any new acute injuries,” said an ECB statement. “Neither will be available for the warm-up game. Both will continue to undergo a programme of rehabilitation with a view to being available for the first Test.”Although the fears of both being sent home have receded for now it is hardly the perfect preparation for a Test series, especially with England already without James Anderson for this tour.”It’s obviously not ideal,” said Alastair Cook. “There is good news today with the scan showing no major structural damage, but we all know that backs with bowlers are very important, so we’ve got to work hard on those guys and keep our fingers crossed.”We can only let the back spasms settle, and hopefully they can be fit. Ideally they’d need some overs under their belt in the three-day game, but we can’t have that so we have to wait and see and play it by ear.”Tim Bresnan, who claimed a career-best 4 for 28 in the final ODI, will remain on the tour as a replacement for Sidebottom and was England’s stand-out quick during the one-day series.”Bres was fantastic,” said Cook. “All his overs were in the tough Powerplays, he stood up to be counted, as he has done in the last three games, and he thoroughly deserves his call-up to the Test team. He knows where it’s going, he’s very confident, talking to him in the Powerplays, he’s setting the fields and bowling to those fields which takes a huge lot of skill. He’s putting his name forward.”Meanwhile, Steven Finn, the uncapped Middlesex quick, has been called up as cover for Broad and Onions. Ajmal Shahzad and Liam Plunkett are the other squad pacemen and both played the one-dayer in Chittagong with Shahzad taking a wicket with his third ball.

Rangers transfer news on Doekhi

Glasgow Rangers are reportedly now in a ‘strong position’ to sign Danilho Doekhi in the January transfer window.

The Lowdown: Souttar in

It has now been confirmed that John Souttar has signed a pre-contract agreement with the Ibrox faithful from Hearts, and he may even be able to play from this month if a further agreement can be made.

A few central defenders for the Teddy Bears are facing uncertain futures, and so bringing in a new centre-back was vital.

In truth, they could do with another one as well, given that both Connor Goldson and Leon Balogun’s contracts are up in the summer, with no sign of them renewing as of yet.

The Latest: Doekhi next?

As per The Athletic journalist Jordan Campbell, the Light Blues are now in a ‘strong position’ to sign Doekhi, after confirming Souttar’s signing.

The Dutchman is also a player whose contract is up in the summer, and so he could also be very attainable this month.

The Verdict: No-brainer

Assuming both Goldson and Balogun leave, it would be a no-brainer to sign Doekhi up alongside Souttar.

He has been described as having ‘all the ingredients’ for a good centre-half by Dutch football agent Freddy van der Hoorn, as he is ‘aggressive’ being six-foot-three, but also ‘very comfortable’ on the ball as well (Rangers Review).

Doekhi has also hinted himself that he would like the move, claiming that he is ‘flattered’ by the Gers’ interest, and that they are a ‘very beautiful’ club (de Gelderlander).

Nonetheless, to play under Dutch legend Giovanni van Bronckhorst could well be a match made in heaven.

Apodi projeta jogo complicado com o Coritiba na Arena Condá

MatériaMais Notícias

Brigando por vaga na Libertadores, a Chapecoense tem a missão de vencer o Coritiba neste domingo e ainda torcer por tropeços dos rivais na tabela. O duelo promete ser um dos mais complicados da equipe catarinense nesta temporada. Isso porque o Coxa também está em uma briga para não ser rebaixado e deve ir à Arena Condá com seu time mais forte.

Durante o treino desta sexta-feira, o técnico Gilson Kleina esboçou um time sem Luiz Antônio, mas com João Pedro entre os titulares. Inclusive, o lateral foi o autor do primeiro gol da equipe principal no coletivo.

Apesar de o time estar mirando em uma vaga na Libertadores, a Chapecoense já conseguiu garantir sua permanência na Série A, o que deve ser muito comemorado, principalmente porque o time sofreu com uma campanha oscilante nesta temporada. Confiante, Apodi garante que o time estará lutando em campo para chegar ao torneio sul-americano.

– Nós fizemos um ótimo campeonato. Conquistamos o primeiro objetivo, que era a manutenção do clube na Série A e temos a chance de terminar o ano com uma vaga na Libertadores. Vamos lutar por isso. Se acontecer será muito importante para todos aqui na Chape – disse o jogador.

Analisando o adversário, Apodi entende que o confronto não deve ser fácil por conta da situação em que os dois times se encontram. Precisando da vitória, o lateral acredita que o apoio da torcida também será essencial nesta reta final.

-O Coritiba tem uma equipe muito forte, experiente e precisa vencer, assim como a Chapecoense. Essa partida tem tudo para ser muito equilibrada. Temos que ter cuidado para vencer e encerrar o ano com uma grande apresentação diante do nosso torcedor – finalizou.

Para enfrentar o Coritiba às 17h deste domingo, na Arena Condá, a Chapecoense deve ir a campo com Jandrei, Apodi, Douglas, Fabricio e Reinaldo; Moises R, Elicarlos, João Pedro e Canteros; Arthur e Wellington Paulista.

Tait leads Australia's great escape

Shaun Tait proved he can still be a force at international level as he helpedAustralia to a tense two-run win

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsUmar Gul took three wickets but it turned into Australia’s night•Getty Images

Shaun Tait proved he can still be a force at international level as he helpedAustralia to a tense two-run win that completed a clean-sweep across allthree formats against Pakistan this summer. Tait bowled the fastest ballever recorded in Australia and grabbed 3 for 13 including the key wicketof Kamran Akmal, who had threatened to end Australia’s streak withhis highest Twenty20 score.Pakistan’s trip has been notable for terrible fielding and the inabilityto capitalise whenever they got on top of Australia. This time their fieldingwas sharper than it had been at any stage over the past couple of monthsbut their failure to keep Australia down remained a major issue. Despitedismissing Australia for 127 and being on track at 4 for 98 in the 15th over,they found a way to lose.The problems began when Kamran chipped to mid-on for 64 from 33 balls tohand Tait his third wicket. Steven Smith then delivered two important breakthroughson debut when he had Fawad Alam caught at slip and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan stumped,and the wickets kept tumbling. In the end, Pakistan needed 10 from the finalShane Watson over. Umar Akmal was on strike, having been the key after theloss of his brother, but when he holed out from the first ball the resultwas all but sealed.It was a shame that Kamran’s team-mates couldn’t reward him after he ledan impressive fightback when the visitors had stumbled to 2 for 10. Kamranwas a one-man resistance movement and raced to a 25-ball half-century, thequickest ever by a Pakistan batsman in a Twenty20 international.His fifty came up with a typically muscular pull for six off Dirk Nannesand at the time Pakistan were 4 for 81 and no other batsman in their line-uphad reached double figures. It was an incredible turnaround for a man whowas dropped from both the Test and ODI sides during the tour and had a bestinternational score of 34 in any format on the trip.In a match where Tait broke the 160kph barrier and his new-ball partner Nanneswas fast and accurate, the first-change Mitchell Johnson was a welcome reliefand Kamran helped blast 20 off Johnson’s first over. Despite the supportof his brother Umar (21), there wasn’t enough of a spread in the runsfrom the rest of the Pakistanis.The trouble began with the quick loss of both the openers. Nannes’ firstover was a maiden that included the run-out of Imran Nazir as the pressurebuilt, and Tait didn’t drop below 150kph in his opening spell. He hit 160.7kph,which was the fastest ball recorded in Australia, and from a 152kph offeringhad Imran Farhat caught at slip for 8.That undid much of the good work from Pakistan in the field after they dismissedAustralia with eight balls to spare, with David Hussey holding things together during an unbeaten 40. Only twice in a 20-over match had Australiascored less than their 127 and it was thanks to great bowling from Umar Guland a sharp fielding effort from his team-mates. Three run-outs hurt Australiabadly, including two that resulted in flat, accurate throws from the outfieldfrom Umar Akmal.But the most impressive was Fawad’s effort to get rid of Cameron Whitefor 4. A Gul short ball lobbed off White’s body to point where Fawad tookthe catch, but while the umpire was turning down the appeal, White wanderedout of his crease and was brilliantly snared by a smart throw.It was the second good thing that Fawad did in the field after he held asharp chance at point to send Michael Clarke on his way for 32 from 26 balls.Clarke’s innings was useful but didn’t exactly disprove the doubters whobelieve he is unsuited to Twenty20 cricket.He began in promising enough fashion with a cracking cut for four from hisfirst delivery but there was only one more boundary and most of his runscame from scrambled ones and twos. Neither of Australia’s debutants had inningsto remember – Travis Birt was out second ball when he missed a paddle sweepand was bowled, and Smith was bowled by Rana’s slower delivery for8.The Twenty20 specialist David Warner made a handy 24 but his dismissal sparkeda mini-collapse of 5 for 27. The last of those wickets was Brad Haddin, stumpeddown the leg side. It was one of several good things Kamran did for the match.He simply didn’t have enough support with the bat.

Wolves fans react to Willy Boly news

A number of Wolves supporters are concerned after centre-back Willy Boly was ruled out of the Africa Cup of Nations for health reasons.

Bruno Lage’s side are enjoying a good season in the Premier League, pushing for a European finish and recently picking up a memorable 1-0 win away to Manchester United.

Wolves have again operated with a back-three in 2021/22, with Max Kilman, Conor Coady and Romain Saiss performing impressively as a unit.

Boly has been on the periphery of things, however, having struggled to overcome COVID, making just one solitary Carabao Cup appearance this season.

It has now been confirmed by Talking Wolves on Twitter that Boly has pulled out of AFCON for health reasons, in what is a concerning update.
