The window for the unfinished 2021 edition of the Pakistan Super League is likely to begin on May 23, with at least seven days of quarantine to start. The PCB had chalked out two options, with one involving double-headers every day from June 6 and a final on June 20. But ESPNcricinfo understands that the franchises preferred the other option, to have mostly one game per night from June 2, with a final on June 20.The first option had eight straight double-headers with 16 matches scheduled in 10 days followed by three playoffs in two days with the final on Sunday. The second option covers 16 group matches in 13 days. There was a minor disagreement on the timing and the number of days of quarantine, which is still being worked out, with the final decision to be taken by the PSL management in due course.The year’s edition was suspended only after 14 matches, following a spate of Covid-19 cases among players and support staff. It has been decided to resume the season in Karachi in two and a half months’ time with the PCB offering two windows after revamping their coronavirus protocols, which have come under severe fire in the wake of the season stalling in very abrupt fashion. The PCB decided to recruit the services of a UK-based safety and technology company to establish a bio-secure environment this time around.Related

After the postponement, the PCB constituted a two-member independent committee consisting of infectious disease specialists who will both help the PCB get to the bottom of how an outbreak occurred inside a bio-secure bubble and advise the board on stricter safety measures so that it doesn’t happen again. The head of the PCB medical department Dr Sohail Saleem has already handed in his notice in the fallout.The new window will not clash with the Indian Premier League but the English season will coincide with it. It is understood that several English players are likely to miss out due to a clash with the County Championship and the T20 Blast. The PSL will have a round of replacement drafts closer to the event to allow franchises to have new players on their roster.In June, Pakistan doesn’t host much cricket because of the intense heat. There was one exception though, in 2008, when they hosted their first-ever Asia Cup between June 25 and July 6. Karachi has been chosen as the venue because the weather there is considered to be milder during the summer months.

Problemas, soluções e expectativas: como estão Palmeiras e Flamengo a um mês da decisão da Libertadores?

MatériaMais Notícias

Daqui a 30 dias, o Centenario, em Montevidéu, sediará a final da Libertadores entre Palmeiras e Flamengo, últimos dois campeões da América e que dividem as principais conquistas nacionais nas últimas temporadas. A taça, portanto, já está no horizonte e tem pautado os trabalhos de Abel Ferreira e Renato Gaúcho. Abaixo, o LANCE! faz um balanço de como os times estão faltando um mês para o encontro, com os respectivos problemas, soluções e expectativas.

> Convocação:lista de Tite pode não ter atletas que jogam no Brasil

DE OLHO NO DEPARTAMENTO MÉDICO

Palmeiras:

Se recuperando de uma artroscopia no joelho direito, o lateral Mayke é quem mais preocupa. Sobretudo por conta da ausência confirmada do titular Marcos Rocha. Gabriel Menino (entorse no tornozelo) e Jorge (lesão na coxa) também estão fora de combate cumprindo cronogramas especiais de recuperação, mas se encontram em situações mais otimistas.

Flamengo:

No Rubro-Negro, as atenções estão voltadas para a recuperação no DM. David Luiz, Bruno Henrique, Arrascaeta, Gabriel Barbosa e Pedro são, atualmente, os atletas que estão entregues aos cuidados médicos por diferentes motivos.

O quadro mais recente é o de Pedro, que realizou artroscopia no joelho direito, nesta segunda-feira, e tem o prazo de recuperação estimado em três semanas. Gabigol, por sua vez, sofreu uma torção no tornozelo direito, há uma semana. A expectativa é que volte ao Fla já nesta quarta, contra o Athletico, no Maracanã.

David Luiz, Bruno Henrique e Arrascaeta estão em recuperações de lesões musculares há mais tempo, e também estão em fases finais de recuperação. O atacante já pode voltar a ser relacionado nesta quarta, na Copa do Brasil. Os demais podem ser novidades diante do Atlético-MG, domingo, no Brasileirão.

DESFALQUES CERTOS

Palmeiras:

O lateral-direito Marcos Rocha recebeu o terceiro cartão amarelo no jogo de volta da semifinal, quando o Alviverde eliminou o Atlético-MG no Mineirão, e está fora da decisão. Até o momento, ele é o único desfalque certo pelo lado do Palestra.

Flamengo:

O Rubro-Negro tem apenas uma baixa confirmada para a final da Libertadores. Trata-se do zagueiro Léo Pereira, que foi suspenso por duas partidas pela expulsão contra o Barcelona (EQU), no confronto de ida da semifinal da Copa.

QUAIS OS OBJETIVOS DOS PRÓXIMOS 30 DIAS?

Palmeiras:

Após engatar três vitórias seguidas pela primeira vez desde julho, o Palmeiras parece ter superado a turbulência de semanas atrás. O clube está de volta à vice-liderança do Brasileirão, entretanto, com irrisória chance de título, deve pontuar apenas para assegurar a vaga entre os quatro primeiros colocados. Abel Ferreira terá os próximos jogos para testar estratégias, melhorar a defesa e deixar a equipe titular em sua melhor forma para a final da Libertadores.

Flamengo:

O Rubro-Negro se encontra, possivelmente, no momento mais turbulento da temporada. A sequência de três jogos sem vencer, a lesão de Pedro, as declarações de Renato e a coletiva cancelada do VP de futebol Marcos Braz aumentaram a temperatura no clube.

Dessa forma, o Fla precisa voltar a vencer e convencer o torcedores dentro de campo, além de esclarecer algumas perguntas que ainda ficaram sem resposta. O Departamento Médico tem recebido críticas da torcida e o técnico Renato Gaúcho, recentemente,afirmou que colocou Pedro e Bruno Henrique em campo ciente dos riscos, e ambos “estouraram”.O primeiro, inclusive, precisou passar por cirurgia no joelho direito.

تقارير تركية تكشف قيمة انتقال تريزيجيه من طرابزون إلى الأهلي

كشفت تقارير صحفية تركية عن قيمة انتقال اللاعب محمود حسن تريزيجيه، إلى صفوف الأهلي، بعدما أعلن الأخير عن صفقة الحصول على خدماته، نهاية الموسم الحالي.

وأعلن الأهلي، في بيان رسمي منذ قليل، تعاقده مع محمود حسن تريزيجيه بمقتضى عقد لمدة خمس سنوات، يبدأ الصيف القادم.

ويلعب تريزيجيه في الوقت الحالي في صفوف الريان القطري، على سبيل الإعارة من طرابزون سبور التركي.

وحسبما ذكرت شبكة “Sports Digitale” التركية، فإن القيمة المالية لصفقة انتقال تريزيجيه من طرابزون سبور إلى الأهلي، تبلغ 1.6 مليون يورو.

ليس هذا فقط، بل إن تريزيجيه قام بلفتة جيدة بعدما قرر الاستغناء عن مستحقاته لدى نادي طرابزون سبور، مع العلم أنها تبلغ 100 ألف يورو.

كان تريزيجيه قد انتقل إلى طرابزون سبور قادمًا من أستون فيلا، في صيف 2022، قبل انتقاله مُعارًا إلى الريان القطري في سبتمبر الماضي.

ومن المفترض أن ينتهي العقد الحالي لـ تريزيجيه مع طرابزون سبور في صيف 2026، إلا إنه سيرحل عائدًا إلى ناديه السابق الأهلي، بمجرد انتهاء هذا الموسم.

وبدأ تريزيجيه مسيرته في صفوف الأهلي، حيث شارك في 87 مباراة، وسجل 7 أهداف وصنع 9.

He’s a dream for Harrison: Everton make approach for late signing

Everton have begun the 2024/25 campaign – their final one at Goodison Park – in dreadful fashion. Not only have they lost their opening two games of the Premier League season, but the Toffees have conceded seven goals without reply.

Hardly the start Sean Dyche was aiming for. This may force his hand to make a couple of signings before the summer transfer window closes on Friday evening.

Could this see the manager turn towards La Liga, as he eyes a move for a World Cup winner…

Everton chasing swoop for World Cup winner

According to reports in Spain (via Sport Witness), the Goodison Park side have joined the chase to sign Sevilla defender Gonzalo Montiel.

Another update has come from Argentine journalist Uriel Lugt, who said via X: "Everton and Borussia Dortmund add to the interest in Gonzalo Montiel. There are already talks underway for the full-back to leave Sevilla definitively. Nottingham Forest is also in the bidding."

It certainly looks as though the 27-year-old is keen on leaving Spain. Will it be a temporary deal? Or will the Toffees make a solid proposal to fend off other interest and bring him back to the Premier League?

Gonzalo Montiel’s 2023/24 season in numbers

The Argentinian made just one appearance for Sevilla last term before joining Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan deal.

Overall, he made 19 appearances for the club, grabbing three assists, as he eventually worked his way into the Argentinean side for the Copa América, held this summer.

Argentina's GonzaloMontieltouches the trophy during the trophy ceremony

The 5 foot 11 defender, who was hailed as an “animal” by former coach Julen Lopetegui, started just eight times in the top flight, but he did show glimpses of his attacking qualities.

Indeed, the right-back created four chances, averaged 0.6 key passes per game and succeeded with 100% of his dribble attempts, not bad for a player who averaged only 58 minutes per game.

These forward-thinking capabilities could make him a dream signing for Jack Harrison, who has operated on the right wing in Everton’s opening two matches of the season.

The Englishman scored four times and grabbed three assists last season, but this could increase if he has someone like Montiel playing Harrison into better positions, rather than the ageing Ashley Young or Seamus Coleman.

Indeed, when compared to his positional peers in the Premier League last season, Montiel ranked in the top 12% for assists per 90 (0.22), while ranking in the top 7% for tackles, underlining how effective he was bursting forward up and down the right flank.

This could allow Dyche the chance to partner him with Harrison on the right wing, which should ensure plenty of goalscoring chances come from out wide, especially if the duo click together.

The next few days will be mightily important for Dyche, even more so considering the poor start to the season Everton have had.

Another signing or two may just boost the morale at the club heading into September.

Adapting quickly the key as Delhi Capitals take on at-home Mumbai Indians in low-scoring Chennai

Mumbai have been brilliant at defending low totals so far, while the Capitals have twice chased down big targets

Hemant Brar19-Apr-20217:50

Should Capitals lean on Ashwin’s spin? Can Mumbai benefit from Pollard up the order?

Big pictureThe Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals, the finalists of IPL 2020, will go face to face for the first time this season on Tuesday.Both teams have two wins in their first three games of this edition, and they have done that in conditions they don’t generally get at their respective home grounds. Defending champions Mumbai have put up a masterclass in defending low totals on the slow Chepauk pitches, while the Capitals chased down daunting ones with ease at the dewy Wankhede Stadium.The Capitals will now have to adjust to the conditions in Chennai. At the Wankhede, their batters enjoyed the ball coming on to the bat; that may not happen on Tuesday. What may work in their favour, though, is the conditions in Chennai wouldn’t be very different from the ones they get in Delhi. Having said that, they still need to figure out their best XI, especially the bowling unit with Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav still recovering from their heel and calf issues respectively.Mumbai’s playing XI, on the other hand, picks itself, barring one slot that they tinker with depending on the pitch and the opposition. Their bowling has been top-notch but the batting has lacked the usual firepower. After three outings, Suryakumar Yadav’s 56 against the Kolkata Knight Riders remains the only 50-plus score for them. And while they have adapted well to the Chennai conditions, the Capitals too may feel equally at home there.In the newsHardik Pandya is carrying a niggle, which he picked up during the last ODI against England. That’s the reason he hasn’t bowled in IPL 2021 so far. On the eve of the match, Mumbai’s head coach Mahela Jayawardene said that Pandya wouldn’t be bowling till the niggle cools off, which may take a few weeks.Likely XIsDelhi Capitals: 1 Prithvi Shaw, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Steven Smith, 4 Rishabh Pant (capt, wk), 5 Marcus Stoinis, 6 Lalit Yadav, 7 Chris Woakes, 8 Kagiso Rabada, 9 R Ashwin, 10 Amit Mishra, 11 Avesh KhanMumbai Indians: 1 Quinton de Kock (wk), 2 Rohit Sharma (capt), 3 Suryakumar Yadav, 4 Ishan Kishan, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Krunal Pandya, 8 Jayant Yadav, 9 Rahul Chahar, 10 Trent Boult, 11 Jasprit BumrahThe conditions in Chennai might not be too different from what the Capitals would have expected in Delhi•BCCI

Strategy punt Mumbai could consider playing offspinner Jayant Yadav in place of Adam Milne. Not only because the Chepauk pitches have been conducive to spin, two of the Capitals’ main batters – Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant – are left-handers. Mumbai had used the same ploy against the Capitals in last year’s final too. In his brief IPL career, Jayant has picked up six wickets, all six of them of left-hand batters. The Capitals could play legspinner Amit Mishra in place of left-arm seamer Lukman Meriwala. Mishra has an impressive head-to-head record against Rohit Sharma (80 runs in 85 balls, six dismissals), Quinton de Kock (11 runs in 12 balls, no dismissal) and Ishan Kishan (six runs in two balls, two dismissals). Only Sunil Narine (eight times) has dismissed Rohit more often in T20 cricket.Stats that matter Since 2019, Dhawan has a batting average of 41.40 and a strike rate of 143.24 in the IPL. Prior to that, those numbers were 33.26 and 123.53 respectively. Earlier, he used to be predominantly an off-side player, but recently he has added more shots to his repertoire to improve his leg-side game as well. In IPL 2021, R Ashwin has picked up just one wicket so far in 11 overs. Since 2017, Rohit has batted 57 times in the top four in the IPL. In those innings, he has an average of 26.66 and a strike rate of 127.52. In the same timeframe, Ajinkya Rahane has played 52 innings in the top four, averaging 25.83 at a strike rate of 122.20. No other top-four batter who averages under 30 and strikes below 130 in that period has played more than 25 innings.

Meio-campista Ralf é anunciado como reforço do Cianorte

Aos 37 anos de idade, o meio-campista Ralf, conhecido por sua trajetória marcante no Corinthians, está de clube novo. Isso porque o Cianorte anunciou sua contratação através das redes sociais nesta sexta-feira (5).

Segundo informou o próprio clube paranaense, o atleta que chega como reforço já pensando na próxima temporada deve desembarcar na próxima semana na cidade e terá parte de seus vencimentos pagos por uma empresa parceira do clube, a B&F Agro.

Apesar de sua identificação com o Corinthians, a última equipe que Ralf havia defendido foi o Avaí, atuando por 35 jogos no clube catarinense ainda no equivalente a temporada de 2020.

O anúncio de sua chegada no Cianorte ocorreu um dia após o arquivamento do inquérito policial aberto por conta do acidente em que o meio-campista se envolveu no ano de 2019 na cidade de São Paulo, período esse em que Ralf ainda estava ligado ao clube paulista. Na ocasião, um idoso foi atropelado próximo a um ponto de ônibus além da forte colisão com uma residência onde o contexto foi apurado pelas autoridades.

Segundo a decisão dajuíza Cristina Elena Varela Werlang, da 1ª Vara Criminal do Foro Regional do Tatuapé e que teve o suporte tanto do Ministério Público como da defesa do atleta, não houve conduta criminosa por parte de Ralf, já que não era ele o motorista no momento do acidente. Além disso, a defesa do jogador sustentou que o socorro imediato a vítima e o ressarcimento total de danos causados no acidente ratificam a inexistência de qualquer conduta ilícita.

Mushfiqur, Miraz give Bangladesh 1-0 lead despite Hasaranga heroics

Wanindu Hasaranga kept Bangladesh honest in the dying stages, but Bangladesh’s batsmen had ensured they had enough runs to play with

Mehidy Hasan Miraz rocked Sri Lanka’s chase•AFP/Getty Images

Mehidy Hasan took 4 for 30 to wreck Sri Lanka’s top order and set Bangladesh on track to defend their 257 for 6, which in the end, they managed easily, despite a valiant Wanindu Hasaranga innings. That they were chasing so many on a sluggish surface was down to Mushfiqur Rahim’s 87 off 84, as well as half-centuries from Mahmudullah and Tamim Iqbal. It had been a 107-run fifth-wicket stand between Rahim and Mahmudullah that raised Bangladesh from a difficult middle-overs position, and delivered them in a healthy state to the death overs.But it was Miraz who made the most decisive plays of the match. He claimed the first wicket of Sri Lanka’s innings, getting Danushka Gunathilaka caught and bowled in the Powerplay, before coming back in the middle overs to dismiss Kusal Perera, Dhananjaya de Silva and Ashen Bandara – all of them bowled – to leave Sri Lanka gasping at 102 for 6 in the 28th over. He was almost unhittable through the middle overs, batsmen attempting to sweep him, charge him, and play him from deep in the crease, all to little avail.Also in good rhythm for Bangladesh was Mustafizur Rahman, who took 3 for 34 from his nine overs, relying heavily on his slower deliveries, and of course, his cutters. Mohammad Saifuddin claimed two wickets and Shakib Al Hasan took one, as they bowled Sri Lanka out in the 49th over for 224.The Bangladesh attack also withstood Hasaranga’s late charge. He hit 74 off 60 in a scintillating innings that contained five sixes, bringing Sri Lanka within 50 runs of the target. But Saifuddin eventually had Hasaranga caught at deep square leg in the 44th over, and Rahman then had Isuru Udana (with whom Hasaranga had put on a 62-run eighth-wicket stand) caught at wide long on, next ball. Sri Lanka’s mild hopes were snuffed out.Earlier, it had been Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah’s stand that had been the backbone of Bangladesh’s innings. They came together when Bangladesh lost two wickets in two balls – Dhananjaya de Silva trapping Tamim Iqbal and Mohammad Mithun in front in the 23rd over, to leave Bangladesh at 99 for 4.But together, the new pair set about bedding in against the spinners, cautiously at first, venturing only the occasional boundary. The run rate had fallen to 4.13 by the end of the 30th over, but eventually they would pick up the pace – Rahim crashing Hasaranga for four through deep midwicket, before hitting de Silva aerially over cover to complete his half century, off 52 balls.Although the Mirpur track was slow, there was no drastic turn at this stage, and both batters soon appeared extremely comfortable against Sri Lanka’s spinners, frequently slinking around the field to manoeuvre the ball into gaps square of the wicket. By the end of the 42nd over, their recovery was complete – Bangladesh nicely poised at 199 for 4. Mushfiqur would soon perish hitting a reverse sweep to short third man, and Mahmudullah would be bowled by de Silva, but Afif Hossain and Saifuddin ensured the platform that had been laid got a decent finish, which propelled Bangladesh beyond 250. Earlier, Iqbal had produced a solid 52 off 72 balls.Sri Lanka never seemed to have the measure of this chase. Gunathilaka was out in the fifth over. Pathum Nissanka dragged Rahman to short midwicket to leave the visitors two down for 41 in the eighth over. Then Miraz mowed his way through a tentative top order, and it never seemed likely that Sri Lanka would make a serious charge for victory, even when Hasaranga was batting beautifully.On the bowling front, de Silva had returned Sri Lanka’s best figures, taking 3 for 45 from his 10. Udana had been expensive, especially at the death, conceding 14 and 10 in his last two overs, with his 10 overs costing 64.

حارس توتنهام السابق يوجه نصيحة لإيقاف أهداف محمد صلاح قبل مباراة ليفربول

وجه حارس مرمى توتنهام السابق، ميتشل فورم، نصيحة إلى اللاعبين الحاليين بالفريق الأول لكرة القدم من أجل إيقاف محمد صلاح من تسجيل الأهداف قبل مباراة ليفربول في نصف نهائي كأس الرابطة الإنجليزية.

ويلتقي ليفربول وتوتنهام مساء اليوم، الخميس، في تمام الساعة العاشرة مساءً بتوقيت “القاهرة” على ملعب “أنفيلد” في مباراة الإياب، وكانت نتيجة الذهاب قد انتهت بفوز السبيرز بنتيجة 1-0.

وقال ميتشل فورم، حارس توتنهام السابق، في حديثه إلى موقع “LondonWorld”: “يمكنك دائمًا التركيز حول المكان الذي يسدد منه، محمد صلاح من زوايا معينة، سواء كان قادمًا من العمق أو من الجانب الأيمن أو الأيسر”.

وأكد فورم: “تحتاج أحيانًا إلى توقع المكان الذي قد تذهب إليه الكرة، لمنح نفسك فرصة أفضل لإنقاذ التسديدة”.

كما أشار إلى أهمية اتخاذ وضعية مناسبة، موضحًا: “عليك أن تحاول إغلاق أكبر مساحة ممكنة من المرمى كحارس، فهذا أمرًا مهمًا للغاية لإنقاذ الكرة”.

Cost £0: Liverpool hit gold on star who’s worth more than Van Dijk & Chiesa

The start to life at Liverpool couldn’t have gone any better for new boss Arne Slot, with the Reds winning all three of the opening Premier League fixtures.

He’s overseen victories against Ipswich Town, Brentford and bitter rivals Manchester United – conceding zero goals in the process, whilst scoring seven goals.

It’s obviously a hugely tricky task taking over from Jürgen Klopp after the German’s nine-year stint at Anfield, but the Dutchman has seamlessly transitioned into life at the helm of the Reds.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp

Slot has worked with the same crop of players who were at the club before his arrival, still managing to tune them into his system – handing the club a huge opportunity to potentially push for a title charge this season.

He could be aided in his attempts with numerous key players, which could include one player who recently arrived on Merseyside.

Why Liverpool signed Chiesa

Nearly a week ago, Liverpool completed a deal to sign Italian winger Federico Chiesa from Juventus – strengthening Slot’s forward line for the 2024/25 campaign.

Federico Chiesa for Juventus

Just a handful of years ago, the 26-year-old was lighting up the Euros for his nation, but after an ACL injury, he’s found it difficult to capture his best form in Serie A.

However, he still managed to register 12 goal contributions in his 33 league appearances last term – with his form in front of goal undoubtedly improving the options available to Anfield.

The defensive department will always be a strong one for Liverpool if Virgil van Dijk is there, with the 33-year-old a crucial player for the club.

After joining from Southampton in a £75m deal back in 2018, the Dutchman has made 273 appearances for the club – playing a pivotal role in helping the club reach various Champions League finals.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk

However, he only has one year left on his current deal in Merseyside, with his future still up in the air after the recent transfer window – much like one of his teammates…

Alexander-Arnold’s market value in 2024

After coming through the club’s academy setup, right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold made his first team debut during the 2016/17 season under former boss Klopp – the start of a successful career for the boyhood fan.

Trent Alexander-Arnold for Liverpool

The 25-year-old “genius”, as described by The Athletic’s Caoimhe O’Neill, has made 313 appearances for the Reds, scoring 19 goals and making himself one of the most highly rated full-backs in world football.

As a result of his stellar performances, he’s seen his market value skyrocket, with the England international now valued at £59m as per Transfermarkt.

His subsequent value is higher than the combined figures of Chiesa and Van Dijk, with the Italian costing the club £12.5m and with the centre-back valued at £25m over six years on from his big-money transfer.

With Alexander-Arnold out of contract at the end of the season, the club will want to tie him down to a longer-term deal to avoid losing him for free in 12 months' time.

He’s been a hugely influential figure, with his talents in and out of possession a huge asset to new boss Slot for the current campaign.

Rogério Ceni fala sobre reunião dos torcedores do São Paulo no CT: 'Não aceitaram falar comigo'

MatériaMais Notícias

Após a vitória do São Paulo por 2 a 0 sobre o Palmeiras, no Allianz Parque, o técnico Rogério Ceni respondeu perguntas sobre o acontecimento desta semana no Tricolor. Na última terça-feira (16), alguns membros da Independente, principal torcida organizada do São Paulo, foram ao CT da Barra Funda conversar com os jogadores sobre a má fase da equipe.

Mas infelizmente não aceitaram falar comigo, queriam falar com jogadores.Acho que foram quatro jogadores, me coloquei a disposição para não expor jogadores. Mas como não ocorreu aceite. Eu tive que deixar jogadores. Para não ter consequências piores. Lamento torcedores não conversar comigo, e deveriam pensar – disse Ceni.

A vitória contra o Palmeiras tira um pouco da pressão do São Paulo, que está na 14ª colocação, com 41 pontos. O próximo compromisso é somente na quarta-feira (24), quando enfrenta o Athletico-PR, às 21h30, no Morumbi.
