جاكبو عن صفقات ليفربول: دفعنا الثمن من أجل الألقاب

تحدث كودي جاكبو لاعب ليفربول عن الموسم الماضي، ومستواه والإصابة التي تعرض لها، إلى جانب التغييرات الجديدة في هجوم الفريق هذا الموسم.

وأدلى جاكبو بتصريحات لـ”ليفربول إيكو” عن تكيف مهاجمي ليفربول الجدد مع الفريق، والتطلعات للموسم الجديد تحت قيادة آرني سلوت، بعد التتويج بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز الموسم الماضي.

جاكبو سجل 18 هدفًا في جميع المسابقات، رغم إصابة الكاحل، وهو رقم لم يتفوق عليه سوى زميله محمد صلاح.

وقال الهولندي: “كانت هذه أفضل عودة لي حتى الآن، لكنني كلاعب وكشخص أسعى دائمًا للأفضل، آمل أن يكون هذا العام أفضل، أحاول فقط تسجيل المزيد من الأهداف وتمرير المزيد من التمريرات الحاسمة”.

وأفاد: “كانت إصابة في الكاحل، وكانت صعبة، وحاولت العودة بأسرع وقت ممكن لأننا خضنا مباراة مهمة، لكن للأسف تعرضت لانتكاسة أخرى أثناء التدريب، واستغرق الأمر وقتًا أطول لاستعادة إيقاعي وثقتي بنفسي عند المواجهات الثنائية أو التسديد على المرمى، وربما لم أكن واثقًا بنفس القدر في ذلك الوقت”.

وأكد: “لم يكن ذلك جيدًا لإيقاعي السابق، لكن هذا أيضًا جزء من كرة القدم، ويجب التغلب عليه، لذلك أعتقد أن المباريات الأخيرة من الموسم كانت أفضل بالنسبة لكاحلي، لم أكن أشعر به كثيرًا من قبل، لذا أعتقد أن علينا الآن أن نبدأ الموسم بكامل لياقتنا البدنية ونتحرك”.

وعن التطورات في هجوم ليفربول برحيل لويس دياز إلى بايرن ميونخ، وإبرام تعاقدات جديدة بضم هوجو إيكيتيكي وفلوريان فيرتز، أشار: “أعتقد أن هذه الأمور دائمًا في طور التطور، تأتي إلى النادي وتتأقلم، وكل لاعب يفعل ذلك في وقته الخاص، وبعض اللاعبين يكون الأمر سريعًا جدًا، بينما يحتاج آخرون إلى وقت أطول قليلاً”.

وتابع جاكبو: “لكن أعتقد أنه بعد الموسم الماضي، الذي لعبت فيه جميع العوامل لصالح فريقنا، بالإضافة إلى التغييرات الطفيفة في مركزي، أعتقد أنه يمكننا البناء على ذلك لنصبح أفضل مما كنا عليه في الموسم الماضي، ويمكننا تحقيق المزيد”.

وأكمل: “لا أعرف كيف يمكننا رؤية هذا الأمر بطريقة أخرى، أليس كذلك؟ إذا أنفقنا مبلغًا كبيرًا من المال على لاعبين متميزين، فهذا لسبب واحد فقط، وهو المنافسة على جميع البطولات التي نشارك فيها، نعم، هذا ما يريده النادي، وهذا ما نريده كلاعبين، وهذا ما سنقاتل من أجله”.

وواصل: “هل أشعر بالحاجة إلى بذل المزيد من الجهد؟ هذا يعتمد على كل لاعب، فلكل لاعب عقليته الخاصة، بالنسبة لي، سواء انضم لاعب جديد أو لم ينضم أي لاعب، أحاول أن أكون أفضل من الموسم الماضي، من الواضح أن اللاعبين الجدد ينضمون، وسيلعبون أو لا يلعبون، لكنني أحاول فقط أن أكون أفضل من الموسم الماضي، وسنرى أين سنصل”.

وحول ختام الموسم الماضي والاستعداد للموسم الجديد، أوضح: “بعد توتنهام، كان آنفيلد مذهلاً، وبعد المباراة الأخيرة من الموسم، عاد أنفيلد مذهلاً مرة أخرى، ثم كان لدينا الموكب، الذي كان مذهلاً، لكنه انتهى بشكل سيء (في شارع ووتر)، لم يمت أحد، وهو أمر جيد بالطبع، لكن تلك الاحتفالات كانت رائعة كفريق، فنحن نتوق للمزيد منها، لذا، الجميع يريد المزيد منها، وهذا ما سنقاتل من أجله”.

وأشار: “ليس كل منا يستطيع تجربة هذا، أعتقد أنه في السنوات الثماني الماضية، كان مانشستر سيتي هو من يتوج باللقب كل عام، وليفربول بيننا، والآن مجددًا في الموسم الماضي، لذا الفوز بالدوري ليس حتميًا، لذا، إذا استطعت تحقيق ذلك، وكنت تمتلك الكفاءة اللازمة، فعليك أن تُقدم على ذلك، وأن تسعى لاكتساب تلك الخبرات، وأن تُحرز تلك الألقاب، وأن تعمل بأقصى جهد ممكن لتكون في أفضل حالاتك”.

وشدد: “صحيح أن الجميع كان سعيدًا بالفوز بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، لكننا خسرنا نهائي كأس كاراباو، وهو أمر مؤسف، ثم خسرنا أمام باريس سان جيرمان (في دوري أبطال أوروبا)، وهو فريق قوي جدًا”.

وأتم: “لكن إذا استطعتَ مقارنة نفسك بهؤلاء اللاعبين، فقد كان الأمر متقاربًا من كلا الجانبين، لقد لعبوا مباراة رائعة في باريس، وأعتقد أننا لعبنا مباراة رائعة في آنفيلد، لذا كان من الممكن أن تحسم النتيجة لصالح أيٍّ منا، لكنهم فازوا، وفازوا أيضًا بدوري أبطال أوروبا، لذا كان الأمر أشبه بقول”يا إلهي، لو هزمناهم فقط، لكن هذا أيضًا جزء من كرة القدم، وهو سبب سعينا الجاد للفوز بها”.

مدرب نيوكاسل يونايتد يحسم موقف إيزاك من المشاركة ضد أستون فيلا

يبدأ نيوكاسل يونايتد موسمه الجديد في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز بلقاء أستون فيلا على ملعب فيلا بارك في ثاني مباريات الجولة الأولى مساء الغد.

وتحدث إيدي هاو مدرب نيوكاسل في مؤتمر صحفي عن استعدادات فريقه للمباراة، وأكد موقف ألكسندر إيزاك مهاجمه السويدي من المشاركة في هذه المباراة.

وكان إيزاك قد أعلن تمرده على نيوكاسل يونايتد حيث أبلغ اللاعب رسمياً في وقت سابق برغبته في الرحيل، بعد إبلاغه باهتمام ليفربول بالحصول على خدماته.

وسئل إيدي هاو في المؤتمر الصحفي عن ألكسندر إيزاك في تصريحات نقلتها “بي بي سي” البريطانية حيث سيغيب عن لقاء أستون فيلا: “الوضع لا يزال كما هو وسيبقى كذلك”.

وأضاف :”لم يحدث أي تغيير، كل تركيزي على مباراة أستون فيلا غداً وسيبقى موقف إيزاك ووضعه كذلك، الوضع خارج يدي ولديه عقد معنا”.

وواصل :”تربطني به علاقة رائعة وهذه الشراكة ضرورية مع كل لاعب، علي العمل عن قرب مع اللاعب لمصلحته ومحاولة تحسين أدائه، أريد دائماً أكون بجانبه”.

وتابع: “لا أعتقد أن إيزاك كان ليحقق كل هذا النجاح بدون دعم زملائه في الفريق ودعم الجماهير، هو يدرك ذلك لأنه شخص ذكي”.

وعن تأثير قضية إيزاك على اللاعبين الآخرين في نيوكاسل قبل بداية الموسم: “هي فترة عصيبة وهذا واضح في أدائنا، لكن اللاعبين أقوياء ذهنياً والمزاج جيد والأداء أفضل مؤخراً، تفاعل الفريق بشكل جيد وأحياناً يكون لهذه الأمور تأثير إيجابي وكنا قريبين من بعضنا البعض على أي حال، هذه الأمور توحدنا بطريقة لم نكن نتوقعها”.

Retrospectiva: 'Volância' do Corinthians tem jovens como destaque em 2022

MatériaMais Notícias

Em 2022, os que mais se destacaram na posição de volante no Corinthiansforam Fausto Vera e Du Queiroz, ambos de apenas 22 anos. Tanto que o time teve uma melhora de desempenho notável após a chegada do argentino, que formou dupla com o jogador formado na base do clube. Isso aconteceu especialmente na reta final da Copa do Brasil, torneio no qual o Timão chegou até a final.

Outro jogador da posição que teve bom desempenho quando atuou foi Maycon. Porém, o meio-campista de 25 anos sofreu muito com lesões durante a temporada: ele ficou cerca de um mês e meio parado entre junho e julho por um problema no músculo adutor da coxa direita, além de ter fraturado o segundo dedo do pé esquerdo posteriormente.

Uma das principais contratações do Corinthians na temporada, Paulinho foi outro que sofreu com lesões, mas seu caso se mostrou ainda mais sério. Ele rompeu o ligamento cruzado anterior do joelho esquerdo e esteve fora de combate desde o início de maio.

Veja abaixo uma análise de jogador por jogador entre os volantes do Corinthians

DU QUEIROZ

​O volante de 22 anos foi lançado ao time profissional, de vez, nesta temporada e logo assumiu a titularidade. Em passes certos, Du Queiroz é o melhor da equipe corintiana: ao todo, foram 1218 acertos, 163 a mais queFábio Santos, o segundo colocado da lista.

Em desarmes e interceptações, Du também lidera o ranking alvinegro. No Brasileirão, ao lado de Róger Guedes, ele foi quem mais entrou em campo pelo Timão, sendo escolhido para jogar em36 oportunidades.

O jovem foi eleito a revelação do Campeonato Brasileiro pelo Bola de Prata, premiação da ESPN.

FAUSTO VERA

Em julho, o argentino foi oficializado como reforço do Corinthians, contratado junto ao Argentino Juniors por 8 milhões de dólares (R$ 43,98 milhões na cotação da época). Ele elevou o nível da posição no time, pois outros destaques como Maycon e Paulinho sofriam com lesões.

Desde que chegou ao clube paulista, Vera foi titular em 22 dos 26 jogos que disputou. No Brasileirão, segundo a plataforma Footstats, o argentino teve 39 desarmes certos, ocupando a terceira posição no ranking do time, mesmo com menos tempo de casa. Ele teve uma média de 95% de acerto nos desarmes e ficou atrás só de Fábio Santos nessa estatística.

MAYCON

O volante criado na base corintiana foi repatriado pois os jogadores que atuavam no futebol russo e ucraniano puderam procurar outras equipes devido ao conflito entre os dois países.

Quando chegou, tomou conta da posição, mas passou a sofrer com lesões e ficou a maior parte da temporada no departamento médico. Maycon fez só 26 jogos, mesmo número de Fausto Vera — que chegou quatro meses depois— e marcou dois gols.

+ Em fim de contrato, Maycon deixa futuro no Corinthians em aberto

VÍCTOR CANTILLO

O colombiano começou o ano sendo titular com Sylvinho, mas perdeu espaço com a chegada do técnico Vítor Pereira. Ele chegou a ficar mais de 10 jogos seguidos sem ser titular na reta final da temporada e a última vez que figurou entre os 11 iniciais foi em 6 de agosto, há mais de três meses.

continua após a publicidade

PAULINHO

Anunciado ainda em dezembro do ano passado, Paulinho fez só 20 partidas em 2022. A lesão sofrida em maio dificultou sua participação na temporada, que já não era muito convincente.

Dos 20 jogos disputados, a maioria foi no Paulistão (12) e todos na primeira fase. Foram quatro gols marcados e uma assistência distribuída em 2022.

RONI E XAVIER

As duas crias do Terrão tiveram participações distintas na temporada. Roni, mesmo criticado por parte da torcida, foi bastante utilizado, somando 32 jogos no ano, sendo cinco pela Libertadores. Apenas um gol foi marcado pelo jogador.

Enquanto isso, Xavier acabou bastante preterido. Ele atuou em apenas 11 partidas no ano, somente uma como titular, diante do América-MG, quando os principais atletas do Timão foram poupados do confronto.

Ben Stokes on comeback from knee surgery: 'I've done everything I needed to'

England’s Test captain has slimmed down and regrooved batting technique to be ready for five-Test series

Ashwin close to 500 Test wickets, Stokes eyes a rare double

The physique is as lean as it ever has been. The tattoos now stretch across a sleeker canvas. The cheekbones protrude a little more. Only the beard looks burdened with extra heft. Blow the dust off the memes – Ben Stokes looks more like Vincent van Gogh than ever before.A cricketer’s appearance rarely, if ever, warrants analysis. But for one to look like they’ve dropped from heavyweight to middleweight status just over 50 days from a serious knee operation is cause for some consideration.And it was a serious knee operation, by the way. For so long, Stokes had kept the state of his left knee as quiet as possible while his laboured movements and inability to fulfil bowling duties as an allrounder screamed the truth with every grimace. That included downplaying the surgery eventually administered by specialist Dr Andy Williams at the private Cromwell Hospital in southwest London at the end of November.Related

Switch Hit: Let the spin cycle commence

“It was a bit more than a ‘clear out’ as well,” Stokes revealed on Tuesday afternoon in Hyderabad, having leant on that description in the months leading up to the procedure. A bone spur was removed, while the meniscus was reinforced with stitches.The reluctance to go under the knife came from an honest place. A sense of duty to England and, ultimately, trepidation. “Surgery is always the last option,” he said. “Surgeries can go very well, but they can also sometimes not go too well, and set people back even further, and potentially even end careers.”It was fear that motivated Stokes to strip down to a physique head coach Brendon McCullum likened to a greyhound earlier this week. Once England’s ODI World Cup had ended prematurely at the group stages, Stokes set about a pre-op routine to shed mass. “Because obviously, the less weight you’re carrying, the less weight you’ve got going through your knee and, actually, the quicker your recovery is,” he explained. An England spokesperson posited Stokes has lost 8-10kg. That has been facilitated by lifestyle changes, such as cutting alcohol, and a whole lot of hard graft.The logic proved sound. Following the operation, what began as weekly assessments with ECB medical staff morphed into once every two- or three-day appointments, given the acceleration of his recovery.Ben Stokes will play as a specialist batter in India•AFP

Days spent in the gym over Christmas and New Year were as much to bring the knee up to scratch as “fixing” the kinks in the rest of the body, which had previously been overburdened by overcompensating for the dodgy joint. All of which led neatly into the two-week training camp in the UAE before touching down in India.”Once we got to Abu Dhabi it was a good time to be pressing things on a bit, and start pushing myself,” explained Stokes. “Seeing how I was reacting, how I was waking up each day, how I was getting through long hard sessions, three or four different things through the day.”There were frustrating moments, too, particularly when it came to the actual cricket. Adjustments he made over the last couple of years to cover for his knee when batting, for instance, needed to be undone in the nets and sessions out in the middle.”Subconsciously, I was sort of doing what I was doing before I had it [the operation] just because it’s almost like muscle memory to maybe not get into certain positions. But the more and more I batted, the more I found, actually, it’s way more comfortable now. I can do it. You know, it’s just come through training more and more.”This has carried over into India, ahead of the first Test which begins on Thursday.”I sort of don’t think about it, if that makes sense? And getting into this period before the game starts, you’re thinking about the game whereas the first couple of nets I had I was more like testing the waters, maybe not committing myself as much as I would do in a game.”But that all comes from coming back from the surgery. Just testing the waters to see how everything is reacting and obviously now my mind is focused on the game. So now I don’t have those thoughts in my mind.”By all accounts, Stokes is ahead of schedule and expects to play all five Tests. And on the cusp of his first India tour as captain, a man whose leadership involves deflecting praise onto others allowed himself a moment of pride.

“Throughout the whole process, it was chatting with the medical team, the surgeon himself. As long as I felt I could do my job to a certain extent, we were always pushing surgery back as long as we could.”It’s been a long one, but something that I’m proud of myself and how hard that I’ve worked to get into this position.”I know I’ve worked very hard to get myself into this condition. Hopefully it is something that will give me a little bit longer as we’re getting to that point – I’m 32 now, and sport and everything like that isn’t here forever. I want to play for England as long as I possibly can. The older you get, the harder you work.”The bowling will take a little longer to get right. He will not send a delivery down on this tour – not even offspin. But over the course of the next couple of months in India, he hopes he can do the necessary work to eventually reprise his allrounder status in the upcoming English summer.”As I said before, bowling is such an unnatural thing for the body to go through that it’s not going to be a case of right, I’m good now, straight back into bowling. Remember the last ball I bowled was actually in the Ashes at Lord’s. So my body is nowhere near ready to even be thinking about competitive bowling at the moment.”But if I get to a stage in this tour where we can start building myself back up to bowling, then hopefully by the summer, that’s where I’ve earmarked as playing a full role as I want to be doing.”Ultimately, the scale of Stokes’ recovery will reveal itself in this opening Test. Such is the competitive fire that burns within, only in the heat of the contest will he truly know how far he has come over the last two months. Whether putting a little extra behind a crouched sweep shot, hurtling after a ball headed for the boundary or suppressing the urge to get the ball in hand and change the course of a game. Or even during a prolonged stint in the dirt, which these tours have a habit of throwing up.”I’ve done everything away from it that a match requires. I’d never put myself ahead of the team if I didn’t think I could go out and play at a certain level. I’d never be that selfish to think of myself not performing at a certain level and what that could do to the team.”I’ve done everything I needed to do to say, ‘yes I’m ready to go and play a Test match for England’. I’ll just have to see. I might have some long days in the field but I’m ready.”

Benfica analisa a contratação de Abner, do Athletico-PR

MatériaMais Notícias

Segundo informação que foi publicada pelo jornal português ‘A Bola’ e que foi confirmada pelo Futebol Latino, o lateral-esquerdo Abner é alvo do Benfica-POR visando a próxima janela de transferências.

Jogador de 22 anos de idade, Abner seria o nome de momento analisado pela diretoria do clube português diante da iminente possibilidade do espanhol Álex Grimaldo ser negociado. Além da regularidade de atuações, o atleta que está desde 2015 no time de Lisboa ainda não entrou em acordo para renovação do vínculo que termina em julho de 2023.

>Deputada propõe declarar LionelMessi ‘persona non grata’ no México

Diante deste cenário, o Benfica tem a intenção de fazer uma reposição no setor onde o nome de Abner foi ventilado no clube, mas não seria a única opção. Isso porque outra alternativa que também foi apontada como possível substituto de Grimaldo foi o húngaro Milos Kerkez. Nome de 19 anos de idade, o atleta tem passagem pela base do Milan-ITA e, desde 2020, defende o AZ Alkmaar- HOL.

A possibilidade de rumar para o futebol europeu surge para o jogador após a temporada onde ele conseguiu acumular o maior número de jogos desde que se profissionalizou, em 2019, após formação na base da Ponte Preta. Ao todo, ele fez 52 partidas no ano de 2022 com um gol e seis assistências, enriquecendo a trajetória no Furacão onde ele conquistou a Sul-Americana de 2021.

Por conta de suas atuações na equipe da Baixada, Abner foi convocado para a Seleção Brasileira na disputa dos Joso Olímpicos de Tóqui e também foi titular na equipe que conquistou o bicampeonato ao bater, na decisão, a Espanha.

Ciente da valorização existente em torno do jogador, o Athletico-PR está assegurado contratualmente ao ter renovado, em fevereiro deste ano, o acordo junto a Abner até julho de 2025. Além disso, a tendência é que as equipes interessadas precisem desembolsar um valor considerável, já que a diretoria do Furacão chegou a rejeitar, na metade de 2022, propostas que estariam na casa dos R$ 90 milhões.

Binura Fernando comes in for injured Dushmantha Chameera for Afghanistan T20Is

Apart from a seam quartet, the squad also includes five spin-bowling options, including the ambidextrous Kamindu Mendis

Sri Lanka have brought in left-arm fast bowler Binura Fernando in place of the injured Dushmantha Chameera for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. The 16-member squad is otherwise unchanged from the one that faced Zimbabwe last month.Chameera has been out of action since injuring his left quadricep in the first ODI against Afghanistan, which Sri Lanka had won by 42 runs. At 6ft 7in, his replacement Binura is a rare breed as far as quick bowlers go, but his time with the Sri Lankan national side has been punctuated too by injury lay-offs.Binura had last played for Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup game against Australia in October 2022, but was forced off after just five deliveries with a hamstring injury. But since regaining fitness, he has made a significant impression on the franchise circuit during stints with Jaffna Kings and Dambulla Aura in the Lanka Premier League and the Abu Dhabi T10, respectively.Related

KKR look to make it two in two vs MI and line up top-two finish

Or do they continue to field their best XI even though they have been eliminated from IPL 2024?One thought is that it’s better to rest key India players like Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, especially with the T20 World Cup less than a month away. The other is that there is pride at stake, and there’s also a benefit in the World Cup-bound players facing tough opponents even if the team can’t make the top four.Related

One way or the other, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) shouldn’t care, not anymore.MI have always been their bogey team with a lopsided win-loss record – it’s 23-10 to MI overall and 7-3 to them at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens – but since KKR’s first win in 12 years at MI’s Wankhede Stadium home last week, and KKR’s superior form this season, they will have the upper hand going into them game.KKR are chasing a fourth win in a row and ninth overall this season, and if they move to 18 points, then they will formally have the “Q” next to their name. However, if they don’t, the two remaining league games away from home could feature some slightly nervous travellers. Ideally, they would like to firm up their place in the playoffs here and boost their chances of a top-two finish in what is their last home game.Form guideKolkata Knight Riders WWWLW

Venkatesh Iyer and impact player Manish Pandey dragged KKR to 169 before the spinners, Andre Russell and Mitchell Starc ran through MI.Team news and Impact Player strategyKolkata Knight Riders
Why change a winning combination? KKR have been successful being ultra-aggressive with the bat, and the one day they didn’t – against MI – their bowlers bailed them out.The only consideration could be whether the fit-again Nitish Rana should come in, possible in place of Angkrish Raghuvanshi. But will that be one left-hand batter too many, with Sunil Narine, Venkatesh and Rinku Singh also in the line-up?Vaibhav Arora for a batter is the likeliest impact player swap.Likely XII: 1 Phil Salt (wk), 2 Sunil Narine, 3 , 4 Shreyas Iyer (capt), 5 Venkatesh Iyer, 6 Andre Russell, 7 Ramandeep Singh, 8 Rinku Singh, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Varun Chakravarthy, 11 Harshit Rana, 12 Mumbai Indians
This is MI’s first game since their elimination was confirmed. There are no suggestions of big names being rested, but if Bumrah is, then Akash Madhwal is the likeliest replacement. Allrounder Anshul Kamboj should get another game despite conceding 10.5 against Sunrisers Hyderabad on debut. MI did not need an impact player in that game as they won comfortably, but Piyush Chawla or Shreyas Gopal for a batter is the likely swap if needed.Likely XII: 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Ishan Kishan (wk), 3 Suryakumar Yadav, 4 Naman Dhir, 5 Tilak Varma, 6 Hardik Pandya (capt), 7 Tim David, , 9 Anshul Kamboj, 10 Jasprit Bumrah/Akash Madhwal, 11 Nuwan Thushara, Mitchell Starc had a big say in the outcome when these two teams met last week•AFP/Getty Images

In the spotlight – Mitchell Starc and Rohit SharmaAs the playoffs approach, KKR will hope Mitchell Starc, the winner of two ODI World Cups and one T20 World Cup, brings his elite tournament-winning mentality to the franchise. He has been KKR’s most expensive player – not only when it comes to the paycheque, but also in terms of economy rate (11.37) – but his experience has helped young bowlers like Harshit Rana and Arora, as they have said during IPL 2024. His 4 for 33 against MI last week was his first big performance, and if the best version of Starc turns up, KKR will have all their holes plugged.Rohit Sharma, who will take one of two opening spots for India at the T20 World Cup, has scores of 36, 6, 8, 4, 11 and 4 since his century against Chennai Super Kings. If you take that century out, he has averaged only 20.45 in the other 11 games. The low average could be a factor in his new way of batting in the powerplay, and his strike rate of 152.77 reflects that, but five low scores in a row in a tournament where most of the other openers are feasting against the new ball is a concern.Stats that matter MI have lost nine of their last 13 away games (across 2023 and 2024), and have the lowest away win percentage (30.7) of all the teams in this period. MI’s overseas players have the second-poorest bowling average (43.6) and economy rate (11.04) and the second-poorest batting average (21.1) in IPL 2024. Rohit has been dismissed by Narine ten times in 25 T20s, averaging 18.7 and scoring at 107.5 against the spinner. Narine has a batting strike rate of 117 between overs 1-3 in the powerplay, but it shoots up to 245 between overs 4-6. Should MI use Bumrah early against him? Bumrah bowled overs 2, 14, 18 and 20 the last time they met. Pitch and conditionsExpect a batting-friendly surface, but rain this past week in Kolkata may make the outfield sluggish. More rain is expected on Saturday, so chances of a curtailed game or even a washout can’t be ruled out.Quotes”The intention is not to give a statement [to other teams] but play good cricket. Good cricket will always be rewarded. We don’t have any edge over Mumbai Indians, they are a champion side, and no way we can take them lightly.”

Porém, ao renovar com o Tricolor das Laranjeiras, tenta elevar o nível de futebol tricolor para uma temporada intensa.

A obstinação do clube por conquistar a Copa Libertadores proporcionou uma planejamento meticuloso, que tentou elevar o nível do elenco ao modo que Diniz pediu. A lista de novidades ainda requer alguns ajustes.

A saída de Nathan e a liberação de Cristiano farão com que o Tricolor das Laranjeiras tenha de tomar decisões acerca da sequência da temporada. O clube ainda não definiu se buscará um jogador para ter o posto de reserva de Ganso ou apostará em nomes como Michel Araújo e Lima.

A chegada de Jorge preenche a lacuna que estava deixada no lado esquerdo. A ideia é continuar a ter como alternativa Alexsander, que cresceu muito na reta final do Brasileirão.

O sangue novo para o setor ofensivo ficou maior. Germán Cano terá como novo companheiro Keno, jogador de velocidade que tem um título de Libertadores com o Atlético-MG. Em entrevista à FluTV, Fernando Diniz destacou.

-É fundamental o time saber que precisa se dedicar ao máximo e correr muito. Parece uma coisa simples, mas não é fácil. Correr e se dedicar, para mim, é algo muito verdadeiro, com grande profundidade – e frisou:

– Todas as vezes em que a gente conseguiu se dedicar de corpo e alma a gente conseguiu colher bons resultados na temporada que passou. A primazia do time não é a estética do jogo, mas sim a maneira como os jogadores conseguem se doar e entendem que a gente precisa muito um do outro e que a gente tem que se dedicar ao máximo – completou.

Haja fôlego para Diniz levar o Fluminense a um alcance ainda maior na temporada.

أول رد من تيباس على رفض المفوضية الأوروبية إقامة مباراة برشلونة وفياريال في أمريكا

رد خافيير تيباس، رئيس رابطة أندية الدوري الإسباني، على رفض وإدانة المفوضية الأوروبية، بشأن إقامة مباراة برشلونة وفياريال في مدينة ميامي بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، واصفًا إياها بالخيانة.

وكانت رابطة اللاعبين وجميع القادة في الدوري الإسباني الدرجة الأولى قد اجتمعوا الخميس الماضي لتقييم طلب الاتحاد الإسباني المقدم في وقت سابق والذي سيقدمه ليويفا، لإقامة مباراة في الدوري الإسباني هذا الموسم خارج إسبانيا.

وأكدت رابطة الدوري الإسباني من قبل، أنها تنوي إقامة مباراة برشلونة وفياريال في الدور الأول من بطولة “لا ليجا” في مدينة “ميامي” بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية.

وكتب تيباس عبر صفحته الشخصية على موقع “إكس”: “أتفهم القلق لكن من المهم وضع الأمور في نصابها الصحيح، نحن نتحدث عن مباراة واحدة من أصل 380 مباراة في هذا الموسم”.

رئيس رابطة الدوري الإسباني مقتنع بأن مباراة فياريال وبرشلونة ستُقام في ميامي (الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية)، مشيرًا إلى أنها “واحدة من 380 مباراة” في الدوري الإسباني.

وأكمل: “هناك آلاف المشجعين في العديد من دول العالم، بما في ذلك دول أوروبية، يحق لهم مشاهدة فرقهم مباشرة ولو لمرة واحدة”.

وأضاف: “أتعجب من عدم وجود هذا القدر من القلق بشأن مشاريع مثل دوري كرة السلة الأمريكي للمحترفين (NBA) والاتحاد الدولي لكرة السلة (FIBA) الأوروبي الذي يخالف تمامًا النموذج الرياضي الأوروبي أو بشأن القرصنة التي تؤدي إلى تدمير العديد من المسابقات الاحترافية، هل تمثل مباراة واحدة بتقنية 380 درجة المشكلة الأكبر حقًا؟”.

على الجانب الآخر، فقد أعرب جلين ميكاليف، المفوض الأوروبي للرياضة، عن معارضته لإقامة أي مباراة أوروبية خارج أوروبا على موقع التواصل الاجتماعي “إكس”: “يجب أن تقام المسابقات الأوروبية في أوروبا، يجب أن تقام كرة القدم الأوروبية في أوروبا”.

وأردف: “تحدثت اليوم مع المدير التنفيذي لرابطة مشجعي أوروبا، للتعبير عن تضامني وتأكيد وقوفنا إلى جانب جميع الجماهير، وخاصة في إسبانيا”.

وأتم: “بصفتي مفوضًا ومشجعًا لكرة القدم منذ زمن طويل، أعتقد أن على الأندية أن تتطور وتحقق النجاح في بلدانها الأصلية، نقل المسابقات خارج أوروبا ليس ابتكارًا، بل خيانة”.
