أمام أنظار برشلونة.. ميسي يرد على عرض باريس سان جيرمان الأول لتجديد عقده

كشفت تقارير صحفية إسبانية آخر تطورات مستقبل النجم الأرجنتيني، ليونيل ميسي، وملف تجديد عقده مع باريس سان جيرمان.

ومن المفترض أن ينتهي العقد الحالي للاعب الأرجنتيني مع باريس سان جيرمان، في صيف العام الحالي، أي نهاية موسم 2022/23.

وذكرت صحيفة “lavanguardia” الإسبانية أن مستقبل ليونيل ميسي لا يزال غامضًا في الوقت الحالي.

وأوضحت أنه بالرغم من أن ميسي قد توصل إلى اتفاق مبدئي مع باريس سان جيرمان حول تجديد عقده لمدة موسم آخر على الأقل، وذلك قبل كأس العالم، إلا أن هناك تغييرًا في الوقت الحالي.

وأفادت أن العرض الأول من باريس سان جيرمان، قبل أيام، لم يُقنع ليونيل ميسي بسبب المبلغ المالي المطروح، دون الكشف عن قيمته بشكل دقيق.

وأشارت إلى أنه في ظل قواعد اللعب المالي النظيف، يحتاج باريس سان جيرمان إلى تخفيض رواتب اللاعبين بأكثر من 30%، ولهذا السبب طلب النادي من ميسي قبول راتب أقل من ذلك الذي يحظى به حاليًا.

وأكدت أن ميسي رفض العرض الأول من باريس سان جيرمان، مع العلم أن والده توجه إلى برشلونة للقاء رئيس النادي الكتالوني خوان لابورتا.

وعلى الرغم من ذلك، فإنه يبدو من الصعب أن يكون برشلونة الوجهة المقبلة لـ ميسي، حيث “أن الأمور باتت مختلفة في الوقت الحالي”، حسبما صرح خورخي ميسي نفسه عندما عاد إلى باريس بعد ظهر يوم الخميس قبل الماضي.

في الوقت نفسه، من غير المرجح أن يختار ميسي الانتقال إلى الدوري الأمريكي لأن أولويته تتمثل في الاستمرار في التنافس على أعلى مستوى ممكن من أجل المشاركة مع المنتخب الوطني في كوبا أمريكا 2024.

Ireland edge Italy in low-scoring encounter

The eclectic talents of Italy almost caused a major upset in Abu Dhabi, as Ireland squeezed home by two wickets with two balls to spare

ScorecardGary Wilson’s composed innings ensured Ireland didn’t suffer a second upset in three games•Barry Chambers/International Cricket Council

The eclectic talents of Italy almost caused a major upset at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, running Ireland to the final couple of deliveries.Italy rely heavily on players of Italian heritage – rather than those born in the country – and were a match for Ireland until the very last over. Italy’s batting was below par, barely scraping past 100, but the slow bowling and fielding ensured a tight finish for Phil Simmons’ men. In the end the margin was two wickets with just two balls to spare as Gary Wilson kept his head in a tense finale.The left-arm spin of Damian Crowley was almost Ireland’s undoing as the Nottinghamshire 2nd XI player took 3 for 12 off four magical overs.Gary Wilson admitted it had been a “smash and grab” win for Ireland. “All we can take from the game are the two points – and run,” he said. “Two or three guys got starts and didn’t go on so we wouldn’t have been in that position if one of them did.”William Porterfield was even more critical of his batsmen. “We made it hard for ourselves in the middle order with a couple of soft dismissals,” he said.Italy won the toss and batted on a slow surface. The Irish fielding was its usual tigerish self and the Italians struggled to get on top of disciplined bowling. Ireland kept the boundary count down once again, conceding just three fours and a pair of late sixes clouted by captain Alessandro Bonora.Ireland offspinner Paul Stirling was given the new ball and responded with two immaculate overs costing just one run, as well as picking up the scalp of Andy Northcote. There was also the novel sight of a 37-year-old New South Welshman bowling to a 38-year-old Tasmanian. Trent Johnston won that contest, bowling a maiden first up, but Michael Di Venuto played a backbone role to top score with 23 off 44 balls as wickets fell around him.After five overs Italy had made just 16, and the half way score of 39 for 2 was no platform for expansion. Middlesex allrounder Gareth Berg stuck around for 19 before he played an awful shot to square leg to give his club mate Stirling a second wicket.Berg and Di Venuto had taken the score to 55 but the Italians lost five wickets for 22 runs as first the spinners cashed in and then Boyd Rankin returned.The 6ft 8in paceman had recorded a T20 career best the day before, and improved on that with two lethal deliveries to send Crowley and Hayden Patrizi back to the pavilion. The Warwickshire bowler has concentrated on bowling at the stumps and was rewarded by seeing the poles cartwheel twice in a fiery second spell.Max Sorensen, who came in for Andrew White, was entrusted with the 18th and 20th overs, and picked up Carl Sandri to a catch in the deep. Bonora took the total into three figures when he just cleared the fielder on the square-leg rope.”If it ain’t broke don’t fix it,” they say, but Ireland failed to heed that old saw and separated the pairing of Stirling and William Porterfield that saw them to a ten-wicket win over Kenya. Kevin O’Brien was promoted and carved the first ball to the third-man boundary but perished to the first delivery of the second over, bowled by Carl Sandri. The Melbourne-born offspinner has been in fine form in the tournament and picked up two more scalps to take his total to eight.Porterfield and Stirling put on 25 before the Italians found their range and the Middlesex man edged behind to Patrizi. Ireland then made heavy weather of getting the runs as the middle order departed in a flurry.Crowley caused all sorts of problems as Ireland almost became unstuck.A fantastic piece of fielding by Di Venuto saw John Mooney depart to a direct hit and Ireland were confronted with the serious possibility of an early departure from a tournament they were expected to win.As the tension mounted the cool head of wicketkeeper Wilson was required and he tapped judicious singles before taking on Northcote in the final over. With eight wickets down Ireland still needed seven off five balls, but a reverse sweep reached the fence, followed by a two and a clubbed straight hit to leave Wilson unbeaten on 30 and Ireland joining Italy on two wins out of three.Edited by Alan Gardner

Com ânimo renovado no Santos, Cuca lamenta desgaste físico dos jogadores

MatériaMais Notícias

A vitória diante do Cruzeiro, mesmo seguida de eliminação na Copa do Brasil, deu novo ânimo ao Santos, que vinha de uma sequência dura de oito jogos sem vitória. Foi o primeiro triunfo de Cuca no comando do Alvinegro e, consequentemente, resgatou uma confiança até então perdida. Mais animado, o treinador garantiu seus jogadores levantaram a cabeça.

O problema é que para o jogo deste sábado, às 16h, contra o Sport, o técnico pode ter de mexer no time, já que algumas peças estão desgastadas. Nesta sexta-feira, com o gramado do CT Rei Pelé alagado, os atletas não puderam fazer uma atividade no campo.

-Temos de enaltecer os méritos do Cruzeiro. Boa sorte para eles, têm um dos melhores elencos do país. Para nós, fica o sabor de ter conquistado a primeira vitória. Tira o peso, nos dá um ânimo novo. Para que possamos fazer um jogo (neste sábado). Estamos sempre correndo atrás. Ceará nos esperando, Atlético-MG também. Cruzeiro poupou os jogadores. Sport nos esperando. E nós desgastados. Agora, é guardar energia. É ver de que forma vamos utilizar o grupo, se vamos usar os que jogaram em Minas ou se vamos com outros que estejam na condição física ideal. É um confronto direto, temos de conversar – ponderou o treinador, durante entrevista coletiva no CT Rei Pelé, na manhã desta sexta-feira.

Para a partida deste jogo, além dos estrangeiros Bryan Ruiz, Carlos Sánchez e Derlis González que não estavam inscritos na Copa do Brasil, o treinador poderá contar também com o reforço de Eduardo Sasha, recuperado de lesão. O treinador espera aliviar a pressão com um bom resultado.

– Não é fácil. Como eu já falei outras vezes, tem jogador praticamente para estrear, Bryan, Sánchez, Derlis, não é normal que ocorra isso no meio de agosto, mas é o que está acontecendo. Temos de assumir a responsabilidade, com diálogo, com conversa, e contar muito com o jogador. Não só em campo, mas com a inteligência também. Estava ruim (o clima). Estávamos muito abatidos, cabeça baixa, logo quis mostrar que não era esse a nossa realidade. Logo quis mostrar que tínhamos de valorizar aquela vitória e seguir adiante.
Sasha está disponível, 100% da lesão. Poderia ter levado para Minas. É versátil, muito importante para nós – finalizou.

فيديو | مانشستر سيتي يخمد ثورة نيوكاسل بثنائية نظيفة في الدوري الإنجليزي

حقق مانشستر سيتي فوزًا هامًا في المباراة التي جمعته بـ نيوكاسل، ضمن الجولة 26 من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز على ملعب الإتحاد.

شوط المباراة الأول، شهد تقدم مانشستر سيتي في الربع ساعة الأولى، بعد هدف مارادوني من فيل فودين، الذي مر من المدافعين وسدد كرته بقوة في مرمى نيك بوب، الذي لم يتمكن من التصدي لها.

انتهى الشوط الأول بتقدم مانشستر سيتي، رغم فرص نيوكاسل الخطيرة وأبرزها كان عن طريق كالوم ويلسون قبل نهاية الشوط بدقائق قليلة، لكن المهاجم الإنجليزي لم يتمكن من التعامل مع الكرة في منطقة جزاء أصحاب الأرض.

في الشوط الثاني، دخل سانت ماكسمين لإحداث الفارق، لكن محاولات الفرنسي وكذلك زميله السويدي إيزاك الذي حل محل ويلسون، لم تأت بجديد.

على الجانب الآخر، كانت تغييرات بيب جوارديولا لها التأثير الأكبر، بدخول برناردو سيلفا مكان دي بروين في الدقيقة 65، وبعد دقيقتين فقط، تمكن البرتغالي من تسجيل الهدف الثاني بعد تمريرة إيرلينج هالاند في منطقة جزاء الماكبايس.

بعد الهدف بدقائق، اشتعلت الأجواء بشجار بين هالاند ودان بيرن، بعد تدخل الأخير على جاك جريليش، ليحصل كلًا منهما على الكارت الأصفر.

اشتعال الشجار بين الفريقين، أخمد ثورة نيوكاسل قليلًا، كما هو الحال بعد هدف برناردو سيلفا، ليحسم سيتي الأمور برصاصة الرحمة التي أطلقها البرتغالي.

بهذه النتيجة يصبح رصيد مانشستر سيتي 58 نقطة في المركز الثاني بفارق نقطتين عن آرسنال المتصدر والذي سيواجه بورنموث اليوم، ويتوقف رصيد نيوكاسل عند 41 نقطة خامسًا، ولكن لديه مباراة مؤجلة. أهداف مباراة مانشستر سيتي ونيوكاسل في الدوري الإنجليزي

Chargers take on wounded Chennai

ESPNcricinfo previews the 6th match of IPL 2012 between Deccan Chargers and Chennai Super Kings in Visakhapatnam

The Preview by Devashish Fuloria06-Apr-2012Match factsSaturday, April 7, Visakhapatnam
Start time 2000 (1430 GMT)Deccan Chargers will look to their bowling to put pressure on Chennai Super Kings in their first game of the season•Associated Press

Big pictureDeccan Chargers open their campaign against defending champions Chennai Super Kings. In the absence of Kumar Sangakkara, that is going to be a tough challenge. Super Kings were a bit rusty when they played Mumbai Indians two days ago, especially in their batting, something that the Chargers think-thank would have made notes on. Apart from Suresh Raina, no other batsman allowed themselves time to settle in. Super Kings will be eager to score their first points tomorrow.Chargers captain Cameron White has an experienced group of bowlers at his disposal. Amit Mishra and Dale Steyn led the wickets tally last year for the team. Steyn bowled with a lot of pace and was well supported by an equally menacing Ishant Sharma, who created problems with his bounce. However, with no Ishant this year, Steyn will need to guide someone like Manpreet Gony to raise his game.Gony appeared to be in good form in the knockouts of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, the domestic Twenty20 competition, in which he picked up eight wickets in three games. A tall man, he has the ability to extract bounce from any surface.Super Kings’ batsmen, however, have the ability to run in top gear throughout the innings and much will depend on how Steyn, and later Mishra, keep them under control.Chargers will be boosted with Parthiv Patel coming in at the top of the order with Shikhar Dhawan, Chargers’ top-scorer from last season. Super Kings create pressure with their spinners, and a lot will depend on how Chargers handle the spin menace. The trio of R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Shadab Jakati failed to make an impact against Mumbai Indians, and MS Dhoni would hope that last performance was a blip rather than a sign of things to come.Players to watchAmit Mishra stands fourth on the leading wicket-takers list in the IPL with 61 victims, including a hat-trick last season. Although Steyn will lead the fast bowling, Chargers’ fortunes will revolve around Mishra’s spin.The most expensive buy in this year’s auction, Ravindra Jadeja, failed to make an impact with bat and ball in the first game. But the value that he brings to all aspects of cricket is something that Chargers are well aware of, after missing out on securing his services in a fiercely fought auction battle with Super Kings.2011 head-to-headChargers lost their only match against Super Kings last year, as they faltered in a tall chase.Stats and triviaSuper Kings’ batting is powered by Suresh Raina – the leading run-scorer in IPL history with 1849 runs. However, their top wicket-taker – Albie Morkel with 56 scalps – is ninth on the table.Chargers have scored more than 200 runs in an innings only once in IPL history. Super Kings have crossed that barrier five times.Chargers and Super Kings have played eight games against each other and the head-to-head record is 4-4.Quotes”We were rusty. I think boys showed glimpses of form and glimpses of the Chennai that you know. We were losing wickets at regular intervals. We just did not allow ourselves opportunity to get partnerships.”

“I would like to continue from where I left last season, during which I was the highest wicket-taker for the Chargers. I will push myself to doing better this time around. The challenge is to contain the runs, which leads to wickets.”

الهلال لـ بطولات: لم نطلب منع حضور جماهير الأهلي.. وادخلوا مصر إن شاء الله آمنين

رد نادي الهلال السوداني منافس الأهلي في دور المجموعات من بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا على حقيقة طلبهم منع جماهير المارد الأحمر من الحضور في مباراة الجولة السادسة والتي ستقام في القاهرة.

وكانت مباراة الأهلي والهلال السوداني في “أم درمان” قد شهدت أحداث مؤسفة من جانب طبيب النادي السوداني، عوض الجعلي، حيث قام بدفع حارس الأهلي البديل، علي لطفي مع دخول بعض الجماهير إلى المدرجات رغم المنع من الاتحاد الإفريقي لكرة القدم “كاف”.

وأصدر الاتحاد الإفريقي لكرة القدم قراراته ضد الهلال أمس، السبت، بالحرمان من الجماهير في 4 مباريات إفريقية وفرض غرامة مالية قدرها 10 آلاف دولار على طبيب الفريق، عوض الجعلي وإيقافه 4 مباريات مع غرامة مالية قدرها 20 ألف دولار على عامل المعدات.

وتواصل “btolat.com” مع المتحدث الإعلامي لنادي الهلال، هيثم السوباط، وقال: “مباراة الأهلي الأخيرة في المجموعة، أتوقعها بين الشقيقين من أبناء وادي النيل رغم كل الأحداث السابقة”.

وتابع: “أتمنى أن يستمتع جمهور الفريقين بمباراة جميلة في القاهرة، وأتوقع أن يستقبلنا الأهلي وجماهيره بأفضل استقبال ممكن”.

وأضاف: “هذا ليس بغريب على أهل مصر، دائمًا ما يكرمون ضيوفهم ويستقبلونهم أفضل استقبال في أرض الكنانة المؤمنة، فهم يضيفون اللاجئ بأفضل صورة ممكنة وادخلوا مصر إن شاء الله آمنين”.

وبسؤاله “هل هناك حساسية بين الهلال والأهلي بعد أحداث المباراة الأخيرة؟”، رد: “لا توجد هذه المشاعر بيننا، لدينا توأمة منذ عشرات السنين ونحن كذلك في بلدنا الأول”.

هل طلبتم من الاتحاد الإفريقي منع جماهير الأهلي من الحضور في مباراة القاهرة، أجاب: “حتى الآن، لم نفكر في هذا الأمر على الإطلاق”.

وعن عقوبات الكاف بالأمس: “اليوم، سنرسل خطابًا إلى الاتحاد الإفريقي لكرة القدم لتقديم التماس حول العقوبات المُعلنة لمحاولة تخفيفها”.

Ameaçados pelo rebaixamento, Bahia e Sport abrem a 23ª rodada do Brasileirão

MatériaMais Notícias

Na noite desta quarta-feira, um dos clássicos mais importantes do Nordeste agita a 23ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Ameaçados pelo rebaixamento, Bahia e Sport entram em campo de olho nos três pontos para se afastar das últimas colocações.

Na rodada do fim de semana, o Bahia foi derrotado pelo Atlético-PR e ficou na 15 posição, com 25 pontos. Já o Sport venceu o Paraná na Ilha do Retiro, mas não conseguiu escapar do Z4. O Leão é o 17º, com 23 pontos.

Preocupado com a aproximação do Tricolor na zona de rebaixamento, o técnico Enderson Moreira terá a volta de jogadores importantes. O goleiro Anderson, fora das últimas duas partidas por causa de uma conjuntivite, treinou normalmente e vai para o confronto. O meia Zé Rafael é a outra novidade, já que se recupero de uma lesão muscular.

Já o Sport sofre com problemas no ataque. Sem Hernane, que não atua devido a um acordo de cavalheiros entre os times, o técnico Eduardo Baptista deve apostar em Rogério como ‘falso nove’. Sendo assim, Rafael Marques ganha espaço e vai atuar pelos lados, revezando com o companheiro.

Na véspera do duelo, o Leão ganhou mais um problema. O meia Michel Bastos sentiu um desconforto muscular e não viaja com o time.

Prováveis Escalações:

Bahia: Anderson; Bruno, Tiago, Lucas Fonseca e Léo; Gregore, Elton, Vinícius e Elber (Zé Rafael); Edigar Junio e Gilberto. Técnico: Enderson Moreira.

Sport: Magrão; Cláudio Winck, Ernando, Durval e Sander; Deivid (Nonoca), Fellipe Bastos e Gabriel; Marlone, Rafael Marques (Morato) e Rogério. Técnico: Eduardo Baptista.

Harris preserved, Siddle scanned

Australia’s desire to preserve Ryan Harris’ battered body for as long as possible was sharply illustrated by his resting from the Trinidad match following a man of the match display in Bridgetown

Ryan Harris performed with both bat and ball in the first Test•Associated Press

Australia’s desire to preserve Ryan Harris’ battered body for as long as possible was sharply illustrated by his resting from the Trinidad match following a Man-of-the-Match display in Bridgetown. Harris ended the first match of the West Indies series stating his desire to play all three Tests, but the selectors on tour decided otherwise in leaving him out for a fresher James Pattinson on a Port-of-Spain pitch likely to play lower and lower as the second Test develops.Having performed heroically at Kensington Oval with bat and ball to give Australia a 1-0 series lead, Harris was sore but not under any particular injury cloud in Trinidad. He was left out with an eye to his chequered injury history in the hope that he will be fresh by the time the third Test of the series is played in Dominica. His omission was a significant moment in the development of a squad mentality for Australia’s fast bowlers, for there could be no doubt about Harris’ performance meriting his retention.Yet instead of playing, Harris found himself taking part in lunch-time training with other non-playing members of the Test squad, in contrast to the injured Peter Siddle who also missed selection for Queen’s Park Oval. Their absence created room for the left-arm spinner Michael Beer to play his first Test since he debuted in the fifth match of the 2010-11 Ashes series.”There was no doubt with the history for Ryan but also the amount that he batted and bowled throughout that game the selectors must have thought it was good to bring a fresh James Pattinson in,” the vice-captain Shane Watson said. “To make sure that Ryan is absolutely fresh and ready to go for the third Test is going to be very important. There is no doubt Ryan had an absolutely brilliant game in the last Test match so I’ve got no doubt it would have been a very tough decision for the selectors either way.”I think it’s the way our group is continuing to go. It’s just managing individuals as well as the term can possibly manage them. It continues to be a big step forward to make sure that we get the best out of every individual. And some guys pull up differently from big bowling workloads and obviously I’ve been a part of that at times throughout my career. So I think personally it’s a really big step forward in managing players’ workloads when we are playing so much and playing back-to-back Tests consistently as well.”It also works out well that playing two spinners in these conditions is going to be very important. This wicket is quite similar in many ways to some Indian wickets that I have batted on so it’s only going to get worse. The footmarks are only going to dust up and get worse so it was a perfect opportunity to play two spinners and see how they are able to handle it.”Watson revealed that Siddle had complained of developing back soreness during the first Test, and scans had confirmed inflammation that ruled him out of the second match. Siddle now has only a narrow window of time in which to prove his fitness ahead of the final match of the series, having been kept out of limited-overs series both at home and in the West Indies in order to be at his peak for the Tests.”In the end his back had started to get sore through the last Test match and he ended up getting a few scans to be able to find out what that back pain was,” Watson said. “At the moment it’s shown it’s a little bit sore and there’s a little bit of swelling there. Through experience I know when your back gets sore it’s never a great thing.”Hopefully in Peter’s case they’ve been able to get it early enough that even if it’s just a few days rest from bowling it settles down in a quick period of time. The one thing you don’t want to do is continue to push through it … sometimes as a bowler if you do that it can put you back a fair way with stress fractures. Fingers crossed that won’t be the case and a few days’ rest will mean that he’s able to be right for the third Test.”
