وبالتالي، ظهرت شائعات حول رغبة مانشستر يونايتد في ضم الهولندي، خاصة مع التعاقد مع مدرب دي يونج السابق، إريك تن هاج، من أياكس أمستردام، لقيادة الشياطين الحمر في الموسم الجديد.

وبحسب تقرير الإذاعة فإن دي يونج لا يريد المغادرة، لقد قام بشراء منزل وتجهيزه للعيش فيه بمدينة برشلونة، فهو يصر على النجاح في النادي الكتالوني ويشعر بثقة تشافي.

ولكنه يشعر بالاستياء وسط كل ما يُقال عن مستقبله ويشك في صحة رغبة نادي برشلونة ببيعه خلال سوق الانتقالات الصيفية المقبل.

O Botafogo encara a Portuguesa, nesta quinta-feira, no Estádio de Los Larios, em Duque de Caxias, para seguir à caça de uma vaga nas semifinais da Taça Rio. Mais importante, os três pontos são importantes para o Glorioso na disputa pela semifinal geral do Campeonato Carioca. Para tanto, a equipe não quer subestimar o potencial do adversário. O duelo é às 19h30, e terá transmissão em tempo real do site do LANCE!.

– Toda equipe tem que entrar com respeito, acontece muito isso no Carioca (oscilação). O Madureira fez um bom primeiro turno, e agora tem só um ponto. Tem que respeitar bastante porque eles (Portuguesa) cresceram no segundo turno. Já pagamos outras vezes por não entrarmos tão concentrados – explica Rodrigo Lindoso.

O volante não foi relacionado para a partida. Porém, quem volta é o técnico Jair Ventura. O comandante foi expulso contra o Fluminense, cumpriu a suspensão no último jogo, contra o Bangu, e pode até pegar um gancho maior. Mas se defende.

– Prefiro não falar da arbitragem. Em nenhum momento eu direcionei para ninguém. A gente trabalha com futebol, fala palavrão. Mas eu não me direcionei – explica, justificando as palavras relatadas pelo árbitro da súmula do jogo.

Do outro lado, o time mandante deste duelo também tem objetivos. Aliás, dois.

– Uma vitória nos deixará com grandes chances de avançar para a semifinal e também de seguirmos na elite, sem precisar de seletiva, em 2018. Sabemos que vai ser muito complicado, mas nosso time vem evoluindo e estamos confiantes – afirmou Maicon Assim, camisa 10 da Portuguesa.

Under-19 team playing fast ball

Barbados’ triumphant under-19 cricketers have not even had a decent chance to bask in the glory of their regional three-day title

Haydn Gill22-Aug-2002Barbados’ triumphant under-19 cricketers have not even had a decent chance to bask in the glory of their regional three-day title.It’s back to business today for the opening round of the brief limited-overs championship that is played on a knockout basis.After their unforgettable, tension-filled one-wicket triumph against Trinidad and Tobago on Monday, the Bajans returned to the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies (UWI) where they spent the night having not `too big’ celebrations that included cheerful singing of a few Barbadian songs.They spent yesterday mainly resting and planning for their 50-overs-a-side match against Canada at the Melbourne club ground today.The packed itinerary has given Barbados little time to recharge after the demands of playing five successive three-day matches with just a day’s rest in between. Barbados, however, would have had the benefit of two additional off-days after winning their first two matches well inside the distance.They now have to shift from three-day mode to fast-food cricket without a decent rest and such switches could sometimes present challenges."We knew all along that it was going to come very quickly. The guys were focused on it. We are actually looking forward to the One-day tournament," Barbados manager Clifton Phillips said yesterday."We think we have a pretty good all-round side and we are looking to do well."Barbados were champions in the shorter form of the competition last season and are seeking to complete the double that eluded them in 1999. Back then, Ryan Hinds’ team won the three-day competition by also beating Trinidad and Tobago in the final at Kensington Oval, but lost the One-day championship match against Jamaica.There is no doubt that they will win today against a Canada team that finished bottom of their zone in the preliminaries of the three-day competition.Since that phase of the competition ended on August 11, the Canadians have been inactive and it might have been a good idea to have them play against the Rest of Americas in the intervening period rather than doing very little.Once Barbados predictably take care of the North Americans, they will have a semifinal match-up tomorrow against the winner of the match between the Leeward and Windward Islands at the Kensington Club ground. The final is set for Saturday at Melbourne.During the three-day competition, Barbados remarkably maintained the same 11 throughout, but they will allow their three reserves – batsmen Joel Leacock and Dadrian Forde, along with fast bowling all-rounder Barrington Yearwood – to get a chance against Canada."We’re going to rest one or two players. We’ve got one or two niggles at the moment," said coach Roddy Estwick."The key thing for us is to make sure that the three boys who have worked really hard being 12th,13th man and 14th man to give them a game."The unrelated Smiths, wicket-keeper Jamal and off-spinner Jason have been bothered by soreness and are almost certain to sit out, along with opening batsman Renaldo Parris.

Is this Everton’s new Theo Walcott?

Everton have lift off in the summer transfer market. It’s been a long time coming but finally Rafa Benitez has completed his first deals as the Toffees manager.

They acquired the signatures of Andros Townsend and Asmir Begovic on Tuesday night but they’re close to confirming a third move of the window.

What’s the word?

Word has circled around Merseyside over the last few days that Everton were in advanced negotiations to bring Demarai Gray to Goodison Park.

He swapped Leicester for Bayer Leverkusen over 12 months ago but is already seeking a return to English football.

Valued at £7.2m, the winger looks set to head to the Toffees in a cut-price deal.

After confirming that Benitez had completed a deal for Begovic to join the club, Fabrizio Romano revealed on Tuesday that Gray’s arrival was imminent.

He said: “Next ones: Demarai Gray almost done and at final details.”

The new Walcott

If Everton managed to get a deal over the line they could discover their new Theo Walcott.

The English veteran moved to Goodison with a fine reputation in the Premier League.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/check-out-the-latest-everton-news-benitez-kamara-romero-dumfries” title= “Read the latest Everton transfer news!”]

He dominated defences for Arsenal for a considerable period of time and had a habit of finding double figures in terms of goals scored.

However, after leaving the Gunners, his form completely deteriorated. Walcott’s explosive pace and willing desire to get on the end of a ball was still there but his sense of purpose inside the area deserted him.

The experienced winger scored just 11 times in 85 outings before completing a move back to his beloved Southampton.

The form he showed was very much in the vein of Gray, a player who possesses pace in abundance but has failed to ever really find the net on a consistent basis.

During his time with Leicester, Brendan Rodgers waxed lyrical about him: “He’s got wonderful talent. He can dribble, he can do everything. With Demarai, it’s always been about that end product, creating goals and assisting goals on a regular basis, and then working with an intensity to fit in with the structure of the team.”

Clearly a vibrant player on his day, he struggled with his composure, beating the goalkeeper on 13 occasions in 169 matches; a dismal tally for an offensive player.

Gray would be a valuable squad option for Benitez but one has to question his attacking numbers.

Walcott wasn’t a success in Merseyside and it’s unlikely the former Leicester man will be either. We’ll just have to wait and see.

AND in other news, Rafa could discover Everton’s new Leon Osman by signing “special” 34-cap maestro…

وأضاف: “كانت هناك أشياء يجب مراعاتها، أولاً وقبل كل شيء، كان واضحًا منذ البداية ما نحتاجه لهذه المباراة، في حالة ساوثهامبتون، مع النقطة التي يتعين عليهم إثباتها، بالنتائج التي حققوها ضد الفرق الستة الأولى”.

وواصل: “من وجهة نظري، عليك تكوين تشكيلة حقيقية ومن ثم تحتاج إلى إلقاء نظرة على من يمكنه الاستمرار مرة أخرى بعد 120 دقيقة، من هو جاهز من الناحية الذهنية والجسدية”.

وأردف: “الآن نحن هنا بشعور إيجابي للغاية، نحن نعلم أن الأمر صعب ولكن لدينا فريقًا سيحاول كل شيء على الإطلاق لإحداث أكبر قدر من المشاكل لساوثهامبتون”.

وتابع: “فيرمينو؟ هو أحد أفضل المهاجمين في العالم، مينامينو؟ هو سيد كأس رابطة الأندية الإنجليزية وكأس الاتحاد”.

South Wilts collect unexpected SEC Cup success

South Wilts lifted the Premier League’s Southern Electric Contracting Cup with an unexpected 35-run victory over Bashley (Rydal) in the final at the Rose Bowl

Mike Vimpany (as published in Daily Echo)04-Aug-2002South Wilts lifted the Premier League’s Southern Electric Contracting Cup with an unexpected 35-run victory over Bashley (Rydal) in the final at the Rose Bowl.They went into the Nursery ground final minus key all-rounder Paul Draper and left-arm strike bowler Jimmy Tomlinson, but rose to the occasion to pull off a thoroughly deserved victory.Led by man-of-the-match Jon Nash, who hit a crucial half-century, they posted a challenging 140-5 off 21.5 overs – a target Bashley were never capable of threatening.Nash, who made 53, shared two key stands, initially with Jamie Glasson but, more importantly, with third-wicket partner Rob Wade (34).South Wilts’ success was effectively sealed when Bashley’s reply reached 27-1 – when star Australian Luke Ronchi dragged a delivery from Shaun Adam on to his stumps.Andy Sexton (43), the former Hampshire left-hander, fought back, but his dismissal – one of four victims claimed by spinner Tom Caines (4-23) – signalled the end of Bashley’s resistance.Bashley’s middle-order fell away against Caines and Wade (2-17) and they closed, well behind, at 105-9.

Renato avalia goleada do Grêmio e se diz satisfeito com a entrega da equipe

MatériaMais Notícias

A goleada de 4 a 0 sobre o Juventude trouxe a tranquilidade de volta ao Grêmio. Contente com o resultado deste último sábado, pelo Campeonato Gaúcho, o técnico Renato Portaluppi disse estar satisfeito com o rendimento de sua equipe, que garantiu matematicamente a classificação para a fase quartas de final do Estadual.

– Os jogadores tiveram um pouco mais de atitude. Conseguimos uma bela vitória e a primeira goleada. O que fiquei mais satisfeito foi com entrega. Tudo o que foi combinado na preleção foi realizado dentro de campo – afirmou Renato, em entrevista coletiva após o jogo.

O técnico do Tricolor também valorizou a atuação de Miller Bolaños, autor do primeiro gol na goleada sobre o Juve.

– Qualidade ele tem. Melhorou muito, eu cobrava intensidade dele. Ele sabe fazer gols, dificilmente perde uma chance. É importante ter este tipo de jogador – avaliou o treinador, que não contou com Bolaños no treino de sexta-feira, uma vez que o atleta havia acabado de chegar ao Brasil, depois de defender a seleção equatoriana na última quinta, pelas Eliminatórias Sul-Americanas.

Agora, o Grêmio descansa e volta a se apresentar na próxima segunda-feira. O compromisso seguinte da equipe tricolor no Gaúcho será na quarta, dia 29, diante do São Paulo-RS, fora de casa. Para a partida, Renato garante que o time entrará em campo bastante modificado. Segundo o treinador, a ideia é preservar alguns de seus titulares.

– A nossa equipe será bem modificada em Rio Grande. Tenho um grupo muito forte, sempre vou defendê-los. Vieram mais alguns para fortalecer ainda mais. Só posso fazer três substituições. A confiança é tão grande, vou trocar mais algumas ideias com a direção, e vai uma outra equipe para Rio Grande. E vamos buscar a vitória, sim. Estamos viajando muito, agora entraremos em uma fase importante. Quando pudermos preservar um pouco a equipe, é bom – concluiu.

ميرور: تشيلسي يضع دينامو ريال مدريد على قائمة أهدافه الصيفية

أفادت تقارير صحفية إنجليزية، أن فريق تشيلسي الإنجليزي، يفكر في إمكانية التعاقد مع أحد لاعبي ريال مدريد في سوق الانتقالات الصيفية القادمة.

تشيلسي في وسط الملعب، يملك نجولو كانتي، جورجينيو بجانب ماتيو كوفاسيتش، لكن المدرب الألماني، توماس توخيل، يريد تغييرًا في خياراته بخط الوسط؛ وفقًا لما ذكرته صحيفة “ميرور” البريطانية.

وقالت الصحيفة إن توخيل أخبر إدارة تشيلسي برغبته في التعاقد مع الدولي البرازيلي كاسيميرو من صفوف ريال مدريد.

ويأتي طلب توخيل بالتعاقد مع كاسيميرو، على الرغم من أن المتوقع عودة كونور جالاجر من الإعارة، ولكن مع تراجع أداء كانتي، وإمكانية رحيل جورجينيو بالعودة إلى إيطاليا في ظل اهتمام يوفنتوس بالتعاقد معه، يتطلب الأمر إبرام صفقة جديدة.

الاهتمام بالتعاقد مع كاسيميرو يأتي بعد أن ذكرت تقارير صحفية قبل أسبوعين أن ريال مدريد لا يمانع بيع البرازيلي، مقابل 50 مليون يورو.

وأكدت الصحيفة أن وكلاء كاسيميرو ينوون الحديث مع مسؤولي ريال مدريد، بعد نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا نهاية شهر مايو الجاري.

يُذكر أن كاسيميرو هذا الموسم مع ريال مدريد، شارك في 45 مباراة بمُختلف المسابقات وسجل هدفًا وحيدًا وقدم أربع تمريرات حاسمة.

West Brom: Baggies eyeing Conor Hourihane

West Brom are reportedly interested in signing Aston Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane, according to The Athletic…

What’s the story?

Hourihane has been with Aston Villa since 2017, and has gone on to make 150 appearances since signing for the club from Championship side Barnsley.

The 26-cap Irish international played his part in the club’s promotion-winning season in 2018/19, but has found consistent minutes hard to come by in recent seasons.

The arrival of John McGinn has forced him out of the starting XI, with Hourihane leaving the club on a temporary basis during the 2020/21 season, as he went on to sign for Swansea City on loan.

But since returning to Villa Park, it seems as though the £3.15m-rated ace’s days with Dean Smith’s side are going to be numbered, with Sheffield United rivalling West Brom to a potential agreement for the midfielder.

Proven Championship experience

West Brom will be eager to win promotion back into the Premier League at the first time of asking, after being relegated from the top-flight last term.

The Baggies were hugely impressive in their promotion-winning campaign in the 2019/20 season, and the club’s supporters will be keen to see similar success from their side this year.

But for that to happen, reinforcements are needed, especially with squad rotation likely during the hectic Championship fixture list.

Hourihane could turn out to be a shrewd addition for the Baggies as well, with the Irishman having a considerable amount of experience in the second tier of English football.

More importantly, though, he’s shown that he can perform to a high standard at this level, which will make him a player in-demand this summer. Therefore, it’s not a surprise to see that the likes of West Brom are keen to land his signature before the transfer window reaches a conclusion later this year.

Hourihane was labelled as ‘excellent’ by Swansea boss Steve Cooper whilst with the Championship side, and he’ll be hoping he can have his future resolved at the earliest of opportunities.

“I thought he was excellent, he’s been so impressive since he walked through the door.”

Hourihane netted five goals in his loan spell with Swansea City, which put him joint-third with Connor Roberts on the list for the Swans’ top goalscorers in the 2020/21 season – only behind forwards Jamal Lowe (14) and Andre Ayew (17) in the rankings.

Swansea have been well-known for having their fair share of possession in matches in recent seasons, with Steve Cooper’s side averaging 50.2% possession in last year’s campaign.

Hourihane has shown that he’s more than comfortable on the ball as well, with the 30-year-old having a pass success rate of 78.6%, which puts him fifth on the list for Swansea last term.

Therefore, West Brom would be having a player that some might feel ticks all the right boxes for a team that are likely to be in the hunt for promotion into the Premier League once again.

Ismael must urge a move for the Villa midfielder.

AND in other news, Albion could suffer a “big blow” with “brilliant” £15k-p/w gem, Ismael would be gutted…

Journalist doubts Aston Villa will make a move for Jesse Lingard

Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard is the type of player Aston Villa would be interested in but a move is unlikely, says Express & Star journalist Luke Hatfield.

Lingard spent the second half of last season out on loan at West Ham and thoroughly impressed. There, the 28-year-old attacking midfielder scored nine goals and provided four assists in just 16 Premier League appearances.

As things stand, though, a return to the London Stadium does not seem to be an option, with The Athletic recently reporting that the Hammers cannot afford the £30m fee United are demanding for a permanent deal.

Prior, Football Insider had claimed that Villa were ready to make a move for Lingard this summer, so now could be a good opportunity for them to act, with West Ham seemingly out of the running.

Hatfield, though, cannot see such happening, suggesting United’s asking price will also be a problem for Villa.

“I think in terms of his experience and stuff, he’d be the type of player they’d be interested in,” the Villa journalist told FFC. “I just think his age probably goes against it.

“And the issue that West Ham have had is the fee United want for him. I think Villa would probably agree with that for a player of his age because you’re not going to get much resale on him.

“If the money’s not right for them, then it wouldn’t shock me if it’s not right for Villa either.”

With there still some time before the transfer window closes, this saga surrounding Lingard probably isn’t finished yet.
