Ricky Ponting on potential Usman Khawaja return: 'He's going to find it difficult'

Ponting still a fan of out-of-favour Khawaja, but thinks we didn’t see his best at international level

Ricky Ponting believes inconsistent form and “not being able to produce his best” in international cricket has made Usman Khawaja’s prospects of a Test recall “difficult”.Khawaja last played for Australia during the 2019 Ashes in England, where he lost his No. 3 spot to Marnus Labuschagne, and was left out of the home Tests against Pakistan and New Zealand in November-December.Fresh doubts over Khawaja’s immediate future emerged in April when he wasn’t offered an annual retainer by Cricket Australia. Trevor Hohns, the selection convener, said at the time that Khawaja was “one of the unlucky ones”, before explaining how poor form in the Sheffield Shield – he made 202 runs at 18.36 in 11 innings – hurt his prospects.Ponting believes Khawaja may be able to turn it around yet should he score “truckloads of runs” for Queensland this coming summer, but a recall probably still remains a tall order.”I honestly think now he’s going to find it difficult [to get back into the Australian team] and I feel for him,” Ponting told . “I love Usman Khawaja, I got really close to him over the last 10 years since he made his debut and I talk to him quite regularly.”I’ve always felt he’s a very good player and we probably never saw the absolute best of him at international cricket. We saw glimpses of it, and dribs and drabs, but not the consistently good player I thought he could have been for Australia.”Thirty-three-year-old Khawaja, who has also been out of Australia’s ODI side since the end of the 2019 World Cup round-robin games, remains steadfast in his belief of being among the top-six batsmen in the country.”Without sounding arrogant, I still feel like I’m one of the top-six batsmen in the country,” Khawaja told Fox Sports. “Age is just a number and if you’re performing, you’re performing; it’s not like I’m 37 or 38 and coming into right at the end of my career.”My playing against spin has been right up there as some of the best in the county. Bar maybe Steve Smith, who is an absolute genius. But the most important thing is to score runs.”

أحمد نبيل كوكا يوضح حقيقة رحيله عن الأهلي.. ويصرح: اللعب بجوار عمرو السولية شرف

أثنى أحمد نبيل كوكا لاعب فريق الكرة بـ الأهلي على قدرات زميله عمرو السولية، موضحًا حقيقة تلقيه عروضًا للرحيل عن القلعة الحمراء بالفترة الماضية.

وقال أحمد نبيل كوكا في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة الأهلي: “عمرو السولية خبراته كبيرة وهادئ ويتحدث بشكل جيد ويوجه في الملعب وأشعر بالراحة باللعب بجانبه، ويتحمل من عليك أي ضغوط، ويقدم المساعدة لأي لاعب، وأتشرف إني ألعب معه”.

وبسؤاله هل مازلت ترغب في الاحتراف رغم رفض الأهلي عرض الاحتراف الذي وصل لك هذا الموسم؟، أجاب: “أكيد طبعًا، والعرض الرسمي الذي وصل للنادي الأهلي كان من البرتغال”.

وبشأن هل مازال العقد قائما؟، أوضح: “ليس عندي معلومة”.

وواصل: “لكن بالتأكيد أنا سعيد في النادي الأهلي، أنا في النادي منذ 13 أو 14 عامًا، أنا واحد من أبناء النادي، وعندما رفض النادي قلت أنا تحت أمر النادي”.

واختتم: “في الأول والآخر يوم رحيلي عن الفريق سأترك بصمة جيدة، ولو النادي وافق سأرحل والنادي يستفيد وأنا أيضًا”.

Rival inédito do Flamengo, Defensa y Justicia já atuou com uniforme inspirado no clube carioca

MatériaMais Notícias

O Estádio Norberto “Tito” Tomaghello, em Florencio Varela, na Argentina, será palco do primeiro confronto entre Flamengo eDefensa y Justicia, a ser realizado nesta quarta-feira, às 21h30 (de Brasília), pela ida das oitavas de final da Libertadores. Mas há um inusitado episódio que liga as histórias de ambas as equipes. E tem a ver com as cores rubro-negras.

A situação ocorreu no dia10 de novembro de 1984, nos áureos tempos da Era Zico, quando o Defensa y Justicia ainda estava engatinhando nos torneios menos expressivos na Argentina.

À época, o que estava em jogo era uma vaga no octogonal final da quarta divisão, mas, restando apenas algumas horas para a bola rolar, foi avisado ao técnico Rubén Morenoque, dos dois conjuntos de uniformes que o clube possuía, um não estava completo e o outro estava encharcado.

De chofre e na base do desespero, Moreno mandou buscar um conjunto de camisetas de qualquer cor de um lojaesportiva no centro da cidade de Florencio Varela, região metropolitana de Buenos Aires. O local enviou 14camisas listradas de vermelho e preto, com gola e punhos brancos, pois era o único completo que tinha no momento.

E, como uma “cabala”, segundo o próprio clube conta, o uniforme à la Flamengo inspirou a vitória por 3 a 1 sobre oFlandria, o que culminou na almejada vaga à próxima fase. Os dirigentes adotaram as camisas e as tornaram um talismã.

+GALERIA: veja imagens do primeiro dia de Renato Gaúcho no Flamengo

O uniforme rubro-negro ainda seria utilizado pelo DyJ em outras duas ocasiões. Neste mesmo ano, em que foi avançando, chegou à final e estava na briga para subir à terceira divisão, o clube voltou a usá-lo no jogo da volta da decisão, já que na ida foi derrotado por 2 a 1 para o Villa Dálmine. Ou seja, apelou para o misticismo.

Pois bem, dessa vez, o feito não se repetiu, embora antes tenha ocorrido um contratempo insólito que atiçou os supersticiosos:o ônibus que conduzia os jogadores ao estádio quebrou, fazendo com que o elenco completasse o trajeto de carro. Porém, houve novo e frustrante revés no duelo da volta: 1 a 0.

O acesso veio no ano seguinte, em 85, quando o Defensa y Justicia sobrou em toda a campanha e, na partida de despedida da temporada, com a garantia da subida, voltou a vestir rubro-negro. E só em um tempo, o segundo, na goleada por 5 a 0 diante do DockSud, para aposentar a camisa à Flamengo com estilo.

O PRIMEIRO ENCONTRO

Agora, chegou a vez do Defensa y Justicia, já consolidado no cenário nacional e continental, encontrar o rubro-negro “original”. O time deSebastián Beccacece, atual campeão da Sul-Americana e Recopa, possui uma folha salarial de apenas 100 mil dólares, mas já provou que o seu jogo coletivo faz sucesso.

-Vamos jogar contra o que talvez seja o time mais poderoso da América do Sul. Foi campeão da penúltima edição. Eles ganharam o Brasileiro e uma (Super) Copa do Brasil.Agora vão ter a volta de cinco ou seis jogadores que estavam nas suas seleções. Vai ser um desafio difícil, mas lindo, e vamos enfrentá-lo com a mentalidade de que é possível (passar) – disseBeccacece, completando:

– A união coletiva às vezes esconde a diferença que pode existir em jogadores de futebol ou clubes. Com essa união, tudo se equipara no futebol. Vamos competir, não tenho dúvidas.

Ainda sem atuar na atual temporada argentina, o Defensa y Justicia volta a campo depois de cerca de dois meses para um jogo oficial, agora sem o goleadorBraian Romero, que foi para o River Plate. Mas Lucas Barrios eWalter Bou têm estofo suficiente para assumirem o protagonismo e alertarem a defesa do Flamengo, desfalcada de Willian Arão (suspenso) e Rodrigo Caio (lesionado). O embate promete.

Newcastle keen on signing three players from same club in huge summer raid

Newcastle United are reportedly believed to be interested in completing an audacious triple signing of three players from the same club this summer.

Big summer ahead at Newcastle

After a disappointing season overall, Eddie Howe is under no illusions as to how important it is to nail their summer transfer business, in order to mount a genuine top-four challenge in the Premier League next term. Newcastle certainly aren't shy when it comes to being linked with various players, with additions required at the back, in midfield and in the attacking third.

One of the most recent reports has claimed that Fulham centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo and Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly could both head to St James' Park on free transfers at the end of the season. That would help ease Newcastle's injury woes at the back, with both Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles still expected to be out for many months with serious knee issues.

Another Cherries player, Dominic Solanke, has also emerged as a transfer target for Newcastle this summer, having enjoyed an excellent season that has seen him score 19 goals in 37 league appearances, as well as winning 2.6 aerial duels per game.

Morgan Gibbs-White has stood out as arguably Nottingham Forest's star man in 2023/24, helping them pull just clear of the relegation zone, and he is believed to be an ideal replacement for Bruno Guimaraes at St James', should the Brazilian seal a move away.

Newcastle eyeing audacious triple Crystal Palace signing

According to an exciting claim from Football Insider, Newcastle are keen on signing Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise this summer, eyeing a triple swoop for the Crystal Palace trio.

It is thought that the Magpies have a "strong interest" in them, and the report also says that they are "close to appointing Palace technical director Dougie Freedman to replace Dan Ashworth", perhaps explaining why this rumour has emerged.

This is such an encouraging update, in terms of seeing the level of ambition on show from PIF, even though they will also have to be aware of financial regulations and not risk punishments moving forward, as has been the case with Forest and Everton this season.

Guehi, Eze and Olise all stand out as fantastic options in their respective positions, with the former a consistently strong performer at the heart of Palace's defence alongside Joachim Andersen. He has averaged 3.6 clearances per match throughout the current campaign, and could well feel that this summer is the time to enjoy a new challenge.

Meanwhile, Eze is a brilliant player to watch, finding another gear in recent times and scoring nine goals in the Premier League this season, while Olise is similarly gifted in his wide role, netting on 10 occasions in only 13 league starts, including an excellent brace against Manchester United earlier this month.

Fizemos um jogo muito bom para as circunstâncias, criamos oportunidades e fomos eficientes. Vamos continuar nessa pegada para tentar uma recuperação e chegar perto do G4.

– A disputa é sadia, como tem que ser. Todo mundo está dando o seu melhor para ajudar o clube e o time.

Temos que mostrar serviço no dia a dia e nos jogos – acrescentou o avante.

أنشيلوتي عن تراجع مستوى ريال مدريد: بعض الانتقادات تزعجني.. وربما بدأتم تمّلون مني

تحدث مدرب ريال مدريد كارلو أنشيلوتي في مؤتمر صحفي قبل مواجهة جيرونا بمنافسات بطولة الدوري الإسباني.

وتطرق أنشيلوتي للعديد من الموضوعات التي تشغل بال جمهور ريال مدريد، بداية من استعدادات الفريق لمباراة جيرونا القادمة، وصولًا إلى الانتقادات التي يتلقاها بعد تراجع أداء الفريق في الآونة الأخيرة.

كما أوضح رؤيته حول التحديات التي يواجهها الفريق في الوقت الراهن، بالإضافة إلى تحليله لأزمة القيادة في غرفة الملابس وتأثير غياب بعض اللاعبين البارزين، ورأيه في مجموعة ريال مدريد بكأس العالم للأندية.

ويتواجد ريال مدريد في المجموعة الثامنة والتي تضم أندية الهلال السعودي وسالزبورج النمساوي وباتشوكا المكسيكي.

وقال أنشيلوتي: “إنها مباراة معقدة، جيرونا في حالة جيدة، إنه في دوري أبطال أوروبا، لكنه ينافس بشكل جيد للغاية، علينا أن نأخذها كفرصة”.

وعن الانتقادات التي يتلقها، أفاد: “أعتقد أن هذا نقد يجب أن أقبله، الفريق لا يقدم أفضل نسخة له، وكما يحدث دائمًا في كرة القدم، المدرب هو الأكثر مسؤولية”.

وأكد: “ومع ذلك، أعتقد أنكم توجهون لي الكثير من الانتقادات، ربما أنتم متعبون مني، ربما بدأتم تملّون مني أنا لست متعبًا، النقد مقبول وأفهمه، أحيانًا يكون هذا هو الوقود”.

وبشأن جاهزية المصابين، أوضح: “رؤية فينيسيوس هي خبر جيد، لقد تعافى بشكل جيد جدًا، لن يكون جاهزًا للمباراة غدًا، ولكن سيكون جاهزًا لدوري الأبطال، لقد ساعدنا ألابا كثيرًا في التدريب، لكنه يحتاج إلى شهر آخر، سيعود في يناير، المدة المحددة له هي في العام المقبل”.

وعن مستوى قلقه، أردف: “علينا أن نتحلى بالتفاؤل، مع الأخذ في الاعتبار المشاكل التي واجهناها، لدينا تشكيلة ذات قيمة وجودة، لم نعرض أفضل نسخة لدينا بعد، لكننا سنفعل ذلك، عاجلاً أم آجلاً، مستوى قلقي متوسط”.

وبشأن معاناة ريال مدريد أمام الضغط العالي، أكد: “صحيح أن ليفربول وأتلتيك بلباو هما فريقان شجاعان جدًا، لحل هذه المشكلة، يجب اللعب بشكل أكثر مباشرة، البحث عن الكرة الثانية، إنها الطريقة الأكثر بساطة، كرة طويلة والقتال من أجل الكرة الثانية”.

وأوضح: “هذا ما يمكن فعله في المستقبل، دون الضغط كثيرًا على بناء الهجمة من الخلف، لقد لعبنا نهائيات دوري الأبطال باستخدام هذا النظام، تعلمت هذا بشكل جيد جدًا في إنجلترا”.

وبشأن الانتقادات، استطرد مجددًا: “عندما أقول إن النقد مقبول، فهذا يعني أن هناك بعض الحق في ذلك، إذا سألني أحدهم، “أي انتقاد يزعجك أكثر؟”، بعض الانتقادات نعم، تزعجني، تؤثر عليّ، وعندما يمس الانتقاد الهوية، فإنه يزعج أكثر”.

وأكمل: “إذا قيل إنني قمت بتبديل سيء، فهذا لا يؤثر، هو على المستوى المهني، لكن يؤثر على الهوية عندما يمس ما أنت عليه، إنه مثل أن تقول لشخص إنه غبي أو أنه ارتكب تصرفًا غبيًا، ليس الأمر نفسه”.

وأصر: “من الصعب العثور على المشكلة الحقيقية بطريقة بسيطة، الحقيقة هي أننا لم نتمكن من تقديم أفضل نسخة لنا حتى الآن، ولكن لدي علاقة جيدة جدًا مع فريقي، مع اللاعبين، لدينا نفس التفكير أن نخرج بأفضل نسخة لنا في أقرب وقت ممكن”.

وعن رأيه في مجموعة كأس العالم للأندية، رد: “كانت عرضًا جميلًا جدًا، مع وجود ديل بييرو، الذي هو صديق لي، ستكون مسابقة ممتعة جدًا للجماهير، ولكن لدينا وقت كافٍ للتفكير فيها واستيعابها”.

وإذا كان الفريق يفتقر إلى القيادة في غرفة الملابس، علّق: “تحدثنا عن ذلك في بداية الموسم، كان من المفترض أن يتحمل الشباب المزيد من المسؤولية، ومن يوم إلى آخر بدأوا في القيام بذلك تدريجيًا، ليس أمرًا فوريًا، بل يتم بناؤه يومًا بعد يوم”.

وشدد: “بالإضافة إلى ذلك، لقد أثر غياب كارفاخال علينا كثيرًا، وأيضًا غياب ألابا، الذي عادة ما يتولى هذه المسؤولية، وهذا قد عجّل من عملية تطور الشباب”.

IPL 2020: Emirates Cricket Board waits for India government nod to 'ink the final deal' with BCCI

“We will work together to ascertain the best practices to support and deliver on a successful edition”

ESPNcricinfo staff27-Jul-2020

Twenty matches of the 2014 IPL were also played in the UAE•BCCI

The Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) is waiting for the formal nod from the Indian government to “ink the final deal” with the BCCI, after receiving an official letter of intent from the Indian board for hosting the 2020 edition of the IPL.”Should get it [the permission],” as the IPL Governing Council chairman Brijesh Patel told ESPNcricinfo recently, the two boards have “fully mobilised and have instigated discussions with the relevant authorities, including their respective internal working-committees” to host the tournament between September 19 and November 10, Mubashshir Usmani, ECB secretary-general, said in a statement on Monday.”There are many factors which influence the operations and logistics of hosting what is the world’s most exciting, popular and lucrative [cricket] tournament. This is a massive movement of people and equipment and we now need to bring in the experts to discuss all aspects of UAE hosting the IPL,” Usmani said. “This includes the Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah Sports Councils, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah Tourism Bodies and the respective Government entities – such as the Police Forces and the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention, all who have had strong, proven experience in such activities and we will work together to ascertain the best practices to support and deliver on a successful edition.”ALSO READ: IPL 2020: ‘Will be slightly easier to monitor ACU activity in the UAE,’ says Ajit SinghIt’s not a completely new experience for the ECB, as the first 20 games of the 2014 edition were held in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah because of the Indian general elections. This time, of course, the presence of Covid-19 has added a different dimension to the organisation.”Firstly, we are extremely pleased with how the UAE government responded to the virus, which was as early as February and we continue to see encouraging numbers across the country – in decreasing cases and increasing recoveries,” Usmani said. “Secondly, we will fully support any requirements stipulated by the relevant Health Authorities in regards to Covid-19 safety measures and management.”We have a sound, solid understanding of what is required, and to whom we need to consult and engage with from this early stage through to close of the tournament. UAE boasts some of the best practice facilities and stadia in the world across three-Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah), which we are confident will be more than adequate to support the eight-team tournament.”

Manchester City considering signing "perfect" £150,000-a-week star for Pep

Manchester City are considering signing a £150,000-a-week playmaker as Pep Guardiola begins his preparations for next season.

Man City transfer rumours

City have become one of the most dominant teams in English football under the guidance of Pep, thanks in no small part to his insistence on refreshing the team constantly, refusing to let sentiment take precedence in matters of squad planning.

The Sky Blues have notched five league titles under the Spaniard (six with a win on Sunday), won two different trebles, and if they win the league again this weekend, Pep will be the first manager in Premier League history to win four consecutive titles in a row – beating the current record held by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Despite Pep having already done everything there is to do in the Premier League with the Manchester outfit, it does not appear as though he is looking to take his foot off the gas anytime soon, with City already being linked with a number of names heading into the 2024 summer transfer window.

David Ornstein, speaking over the weekend, claimed that Manchester City are rivalling Liverpool for the signing of Anthony Gordon this summer. However, the Newcastle United ace is expected to remain at St James' Park.

Anthony Gordon.

Elsewhere, it was reported recently that Manchester City "have spoken to Jeremie Frimpong" and that the defender "has opened discussions" about a move back to his former side, in a far more senior role than when he left. Arsenal are also said to have joined Manchester City in the battle for Newcastle and Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.

With Arsenal now an established Champions League club, they may have a decent chance of pipping the Cityzens to the signing of Bruno. Should that happen, though, it appears City have another midfield option lined up anyway.

Man City considering "perfect" star for Pep's project

The player in question is another Brazilian in the form of West Ham's Lucas Paqueta. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, speaking to Caught Offside, Manchester City are considering Lucas Paqueta as a potential transfer target as he is seen as a "perfect" signing for Pep Guardiola’s project.

West Ham's Lucas Paqueta in action

“Lucas Paqueta to Manchester City could remain a story to watch, as some fans have been asking me again about links with the West Ham United midfielder," Romano said.

“I have no idea of the betting stuff and of the legal situation surrounding the player, but in terms of transfer market, Paqueta remains high on Man City’s list for the summer. The player would also be keen on the move and City keep considering him one of the perfect players for Pep Guardiola’s project. But again, we have to see what happens with that issue before understanding Paqueta’s future.”

Romano does not mention a transfer fee for Paqueta but the South American is unlikely to come cheap. He is under contract at the London Stadium until 2027 earning £150,000-a-week and is valued at around £60m by Transfermarket.com. The 26-year-old has made 88 appearances for West Ham in all competitions, scoring 13 and assisting 14 in that time.

وأضاف إمام في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “أون تايم سبورتس”: “بالتأكيد الطرد ساهم بشكل كبير في تسهيل المباراة على الزمالك، بالإضافة إلى أنه تم استغلال النقص العددي أفضل استغلال وضغط في المساحات”.

وأردف: “عبد الله السعيد صنع الهدف الأول بشكل رائع، والزمالك وفر كل مجهوده في الناحية الهجومية، لأن المحلة لا يُهاجم كثيرًا، لا بد أن يُسجل الزمالك الهدف الثالث والرابع لكي يكسب ثقة أكبر”.

وأوضح إمام: “مصطفى شلبي أقل لاعب في الزمالك، بدون عرضيات صحيحة، لا بد أن يركز أكثر ويستغل حالة المنافس، أنت بعيد عن حالتك الفنية منذ فترة”.

حازم إمام: الزمالك لم يقدم كرة جيدة حتى الآن.. ومباراة غزل المحلة صعبة

وأشار: “مصطفى شلبي يبعد نفسه وليس حاضرًا في الصورة وإنهاء الهجمة سيء جدًا، وأتمنى أن يكون أفضل من ذلك، ويدرك أن الزمالك لن يأت له مرة أخرى”.

وأتم: “يجب أن يستغل تواجده في الزمالك، وإذا استمر مستواه بهذا الشكل وارد ألا يظل لاعبًا في الزمالك”.

Botafogo cresce no segundo tempo e vence CSA pela Série B do Brasileirão

MatériaMais Notícias

Uma vitória para lavar a alma. Após um primeiro tempo sem grandes emoções, o Botafogo venceu o CSA por 2 a 0 nesta terça-feira, em partida atrasada da 6ª rodada da Série B do Brasileirão, no Estádio Nilton Santos. Marco Antônio e Diego Gonçalves fizeram os gols do duelo.

Com o resultado, o Botafogo ultrapassou justamente o CSA na classificação. A equipe comandada por Enderson Moreira chegou a 19 pontos, subiu para a 11ª posição, e deixou o rival alagoano na 12ª colocação, com 18.

O Botafogo volta aos gramados no próximo sábado, às 21h, para o clássico estadual contra o Vasco, também no Nilton Santos. O CSA entra em campo no domingo para enfrentar o Remo, às 18h15, no Estádio Rei Pelé.

+ Confira a tabela da Série B

PARADO, PARADÃO!
Os primeiros minutos da partida foram sonolentos e de pouca emoção. O CSA apareceu mais ao ataque, mas não criou nada de tão perigoso. O Botafogo, como em outros jogos, teve dificuldade de fazer a bola circular no meio-campo e chegar ao terço final.

PRA FECHAR EM ALTA!
A impressão, por tudo que tinha acontecido, era de que o primeiro tempo terminaria sem gols, mas o Botafogo mudou o rumo dessa história. Já nos minutos finais, Rafael Navarro recebeu no ataque, brigou com a defesa e contou com uma falha dos zagueiros do CSA para tocar a Marco Antônio, que, cara a cara com o goleiro, finalizou sem chances de defesa.

REPLAY?
O segundo tempo iniciou com um lance bem parecido com o fim da etapa complementar. Após lançamento, Rafael Navarro venceu dos dois zagueiros do CSA no corpo e rolou para Diego Gonçalves, que bateu cruzado para vencer o goleiro Thiago Rodrigues e dobrar a vantagem do Botafogo.

NA PRESSÃO!
O gol não diminuiu o ritmo do Botafogo em busca de mais vantagem no placar. Após dobrar a folga, o Alvinegro colocou duas bolas na trave em sequência: a primeira foi com Diego Gonçalves, após boa jogada envolvendo Marco Antônio e Rafael Navarro. A segunda, em uma cobrança de falta e desvio na defesa.

Chay também teve uma grande chance, mas parou no goleiro Thiago Rodrigues. O camisa 14 arrancou, sozinho, desde o círculo central, deixou três marcadores para trás e ficou perto de fazer um golaço, mas o arqueiro foi bem para fazer a defesa.
