تحدث محمود عبد الرازق شيكابالا، لاعب الزمالك المعتزل حديثًا، عن كواليس المدربين السابقين للأبيض جوزيه جوميز وكريستيان جروس.
وقال شيكابالا، عبر قناة “إم بي سي مصر 2”: “كنتُ أتوقّع رحيل جوزيه جوميز، فهو قريب جدًا مني، وحقق نجاحات مع نادي الزمالك، وكل الفريق والجماهير يحبونه، جمهور الزمالك، حين يتعلق بشخص، لا بد أن يحزن على رحيله”.
وتابع: “حدثت مع جوميز أمور كثيرة جدًا، وربما يكشف عنها في يوم من الأيام، كنت أتمنى استمراره معنا، لأنه كان مناسبًا لنا، فهو مدرب يعرف طبيعة النادي ومشاكله جيدًا”.
وواصل: “جوميز لم يكن رجلًا ماديًا، وكان يُحب الزمالك بصدق، وقد واجه بعض المشكلات، ومع ذلك كنت أتمنى بقاءه”.
وأكمل: “أحمد مجدي تعرّض للظلم، وهو مدرب موهوب جدًا، وأعتقد أنه سيكون يومًا ما من كبار المدربين، الناس ظلمته لأنه رحل مع جوميز”.

واستطرد: “فيما يخص ما قيل لي خلال رحيل جروس، جاءني عبد الواحد السيد، مدير الكرة، وقال لي يجب أن نجلس مع حسين لبيب، رئيس النادي، هذا الرجل يجب أن يرحل”.
واسترسل: “وقبل ذلك، كان هناك بعض اللاعبين الذين تحدثوا مع لبيب عن وجود مشاكل مع جروس فقلت لعبد الواحد السيد: “أنا آسف، لن أشارك في هذه الجلسة من أجل رحيل جروس ولو جلست هذه الجلسة، فبعد ثلاث دقائق ستقال عني كلمة (خائن)، وأنني تآمرت على جروس وبالفعل، عندما عدت إلى المنزل، وجدت أن ما حذّرت منه قد حدث، أسطورة ناديك وقائد الفريق لا يجب أن يُعامل بهذه الطريقة”.
وأردف: “جمهور الزمالك دائمًا مساند وواقِف خلف النادي، كنت أهرب من التفكير في يوم إعلان اعتزالي، فقط لحبي الكبير لجماهير الزمالك، هذا القرار كان صعبًا جدًا عليّ”.
وأفاد: “ما حدث مؤخرًا من تعامل بين إدارة الزمالك، وجون إدوارد، وكابتن نادي الزمالك، أمر محزن، المشكلات يجب أن تُحل داخل الغرف المغلقة، لا من أجل الأشخاص، بل من أجل مصلحة الزمالك”.
وأكمل:” نادي الزمالك يَحترم أساطيره ولاعبيه، وهذه رسالة مهمة لكل من سيأتي بعدي، أنا سعيد بقرار حجب القميص رقم 10 بعد اعتزالي، وهذه رسالة للاعبين الصغار قيمة القميص تأتي من احترام تاريخه”.
وأتم: “كل مشكلة حدثت بيني وبين أي أحد داخل الزمالك، كانت من أجل مصلحة النادي فقط، وليس لأسباب شخصية، وهذه رسالتي الأخيرة لا توجد أي مشكلة بيني وبين نادي الزمالك”.

Na entrevista coletiva depois do embate disputado na Arena Castelão onde o Alvinegro perdeu nos pênaltis após vencer por 2 a 1 no tempo normal, o autor do segundo gol da equipe cearense chegou a pedir desculpas ao torcedor que lotou o estádio.
Além disso, Guilherme aproveitou o espaço para deixar suas condolências públicas ao companheiro de equipe, Richard Coelho, que foi desconvocado da partida após a súbita morte de seu irmão, Ryan, durante partida de futebol em Minas Gerais:
-É difícil, é uma derrota que dói. A gente merecia. Mas somos profissionais. A gente vai sofrer hoje ainda, mas a partir de amanhã começamos a pensar no rival. É levantar a cabeça. Queria mandar um abraço para o Richard, dizer que Deus é contigo, a gente também, a gente compartilha da sua dor e da sua família. Estamos de braços abertos para te receber.
Outro elemento também abordado pelo atleta de 22 anos de idade que chegou recentemente ao Ceará é a necessidade de “levantar a cabeça” imediatamente por conta do importante jogo no domingo (14): o Clássico-Rei.
-É muito difícil falar alguma coisa agora. Deus sabe de todas as coisas. Acho que a gente merecia um resultado melhor. É pedir desculpa para a torcida. A gente queria ter passado e eles mereciam isso. É agradecer a festa que fizeram e pedir apoio. A gente tem um jogo muito importante aí no fim de semana, nosso clássico. Tenho certeza que a nossa torcida vai lotar aqui de novo e vamos para frente. A gente tem grandes coisas pela temporada ainda – arrematou.
Mikel Arteta has had to deal with a lot at Arsenal this season.
In what really should have been the campaign in which his side finally got their hands on the Premier League title, he’s had to contend with a general drop in form and a dreadful injury crisis to his frontline.
Worse yet, instead of pushing the boat out and signing the Spaniard a new forward during the winter window, the board decided to keep their powder dry, which some saw as a white flag for the season.
Arsenal manager MikelArtetabefore the match
This chronic lack of options up top has led to Arteta playing Mikel Merino as his starting number nine, and while the summer signing has done okay, his efforts have paled in comparison to a centre-forward sold by Arsenal for a pittance last year.
Arteta's Merino experiment
If you had asked Arsenal fans who they thought would be leading the line for the team towards the backend of the season earlier in the campaign, we’d hazard a guess that precisely none would have answered Merino.
However, this is the situation the Gunners now find themselves in, and while the Spaniard will not be playing up top next season – lest another set of disastrous circumstances play out – he hasn’t been dreadful for a central midfielder anyway.
For example, he helped the team avoid an embarrassing draw away to Leicester City with a perfect header and brilliantly placed shot in his first appearance leading the line.
Moreover, he scored and assisted a goal away to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League and headed home the winner against Chelsea just before the international break.
However, while his tally of four goals and one assist in seven appearances up top is genuinely impressive on paper, he failed to score or assist a goal against West Ham United, Nottingham Forest and Manchester United in the league and against PSV at home.
The former Real Sociedad ace might just about work as an emergency stand-in striker for a game or two, but it has become abundantly clear that he’s not good enough to play up top for any significant period.
What makes it all the more annoying for fans is the fact that a striker the club sold for pennies on the dollar in the summer has been scoring for fun on the continent while Merino has been struggling.
Where Are They Now
Your star player or biggest flop has left the club but what are they doing in the present day? This article is part of Football FanCast’s Where Are They Now series.
The ex-Arsenal star who'd be their best striker
It would be fair to say that while Arsenal made a bit of a mess out of their signings last summer, they did pretty well when it came to their sales, getting £30m for Eddie Nketiah, up to £34m for Emile Smith Rowe and up to £25m for Aaron Ramsdale.
Arsenal manager MikelArteta
However, while fans were pretty happy with the sizable fees the club got for players deemed surplus to requirements, they may not have been aware that a young up-and-coming striker was sold to Austrian outfit Sturm Graz for just £4m: Mika Biereth.
Now, at the time, those who were aware likely didn’t care all that much, as while he managed to rack up a tally of 15 goals and nine assists on loan with Motherwell and Sturm Graz last season, he had never played for the Gunners’ first team, and with a fit Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus in the squad, it seemed like he never would.
However, the Dane’s simply sensational form this season has since proven that not only was it a massive mistake by the club to sell him for such a small sum of money, but a mistake to sell him full stop.
For example, in the first half of the season, the “crazy” talent, as dubbed by former GOAL reporter Robin Bairner, hit the ground running and by January had already scored 14 goals and provided five assists in just 25 appearances.

Such a rate of return was enough to tempt AS Monaco into spending £10.8m plus £1.75m in add-ons on the 22-year-old early into the winter window and to say that the investment has since paid off would be a considerable understatement.
In just 12 appearances for the Ligue 1 side, totalling 860 minutes, the London-born gem, whom former Manchester United defender Paul Parker described as “one of Europe’s most dangerous strikers,” has scored 11 goals and provided three assists.
That means he’s currently averaging 1.16 goal involvements every game, or one every 61.42 minutes on the French Riviera, which is just the sort of attacking output Arsenal desperately need.
Ultimately, while Merino is clearly trying up top, he’s not a natural goalscorer, and had Arteta and Co kept hold of Biereth, there might not even be a discussion around the club’s lack of cutting edge at all.
Bad news for Nwaneri: Arsenal want to sign "unplayable" Premier League star
Ethan Nwaneri’s development might be in danger if Arsenal sign this £50m star.
تحدث محمد شريف العائد حديثًا إلى صفوف الأهلي، عن المنافسة بينه وبين الثنائي وسام أبو علي وجراديشار، في الفترة المقبلة، موضحًا تلقيه عروضًا عديدة خلال الفترة الماضية.
وقال محمد شريف في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “الأهلي”: “تلقيت عروضًا عديدة ورفضت الإفصاح عن أسمائها احترامًا للأندية، فأنا أحترم كل نادٍ تواصل معي”.
وأكمل: “كانت هناك عروض من أندية في مصر وتركيا وقطر، وعرض تركيا جاء في الفترة الأخيرة، وكنت بنسبة كبيرة سأنتقل إلى هناك، لكنني فضلت تأخير خطواتي قليلًا”.
واستطرد: “لكنني كنت مصممًا على الانضمام إلى النادي الأهلي، وكل شيء قد يتغير في يوم وليلة، وانتهى أمر انتقالي إلى الأهلي في أقل من خمس ساعات وبشكل سريع جدًا”.

وبسؤاله عن المنافسة مع وسام أبو علي وجراديشار؟، أوضح: “النادي الأهلي دائمًا ما يمتلك في كل مركز أكثر من لاعب مميز، وهذا ما يجعله في مكانة مرموقة”.
وزاد: “أعلم أن هناك منافسة قوية مع زملائي، وأعد الجماهير بأنكم سترون لاعبًا مختلفًا”.
وأردف محمد شريف: “سجلت سبعة أهداف في مرمى الزمالك، وكلها أهداف مميزة، في أول مباراة قمة لي، أحرزت هدفًا في مرمى الزمالك، وقبل أن أرحل، كنت أرتدي القميص رقم 10، ولا أعرف بعدُ رقم القميص الذي سأرتديه، ولكني أفضل رقم 10، لكن إن لم يتوفر فلن يسبب ذلك أي مشكلة بالنسبة لي”.
وأضاف: “كان محمد يوسف يعلم برغبتي، ويعرف أنني جئت دون التحدث عن الأموال، ولو كنت أنظر إلى المال، كان بإمكاني التوقيع لأي نادٍ منذ وقت طويل، فلماذا أنتظر كل هذا الوقت؟ كان بإمكاني إنهاء الأمر مع أي نادٍ خلال شهر أو أسبوعين”.
وأشار: “أنا لاعب حر منذ نهاية يناير الماضي، ومن حقي التوقيع لأي نادٍ، وتلقيت عروضًا من أندية وأنا متواجد في الدوري السعودي”.
واستطرد: “كنت أتمنى أن أشارك في كأس العالم للأندية، أكون متواجدًا في حدث كبير وأجواء مختلفة وبطولة كبيرة وتواجه فرقًا كبيرة، كنت أتمنى استمرار الأهلي في البطولة”.
واختتم: “وسام أبو علي المهاجم رقم واحد في الفترة الأخيرة، يسير بشكل جيد، لدي دوافع كبيرة لأن قبل رحيلي كنت حزينًا جدًا، لأنني كنت أحقق أرقامًا جيدة، لدي دوافع أن أزيد من هذه الأرقام”.
While there are a few areas of the team that need to be addressed in the summer, Arsenal are most desperately in need of attacking reinforcements.
Specifically, the club must sign a new striker, as with Gabriel Jesus set to be out until the new year, Mikel Arteta’s only option up top for the start of next season will be Kai Havertz.
Moreover, even when the German was fit earlier in the season, it was clear that the Gunners were not scoring enough goals to seriously challenge Liverpool in the Premier League.
As a result, they need to bolster their forward line in the summer.
Arsenal's striker search
Fortunately, the club look ready to address this problem at the end of the season, and if reports are to be believed, one of their key targets, who has been compared to Kylian Mbappé, has now set his sights on joining Arsenal.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
According to a recent report from Spain, Newcastle United star Alexander Isak has made it clear that he wants to join Arsenal in the summer.
The Swedish international, who has been a target of the Gunners for some time now, wants to join a side capable of winning the league and views the North Londoners as just that.
However, the report claims that Liverpool are also keen on the striker and that to let him go, the Magpies will demand a potentially record-breaking fee from the Gunners, which other stories from earlier this season claimed could be up to £150m.
It would be an incredibly costly and complicated transfer to get over the line for Arsenal, but given Isak’s unreal ability, one well worth fighting for, especially as he’s won comparisons to Mbappé.
How Isak compares to Mbappé
So, before addressing the other reasons why Arsenal should go all out to sign Isak this summer, it’s worth first examining this comparison to Mbappé and where it comes from.
Alexander Isak
It primarily stems from FBref, which looks at players in similar positions across Europe’s top five leagues, the Champions League and Europa League then creates a list of the ten most comparable players for each one, and, in this instance, has concluded that the Frenchman is the fifth most similar forward to the Swede.
The best way to see where this comparison has come from is to look at the underlying metrics in which the pair rank closely, including, but not limited to, non-penalty expected goals plus assists, key passes, goal-creating actions, tackles won, aerial duel win percentage and more, all per 90.

However, a comparison to one of the best players in the world is obviously not the sole reason Arteta and Co should break the bank to sign the former Real Sociedad star.
In fact, the most significant argument for bringing him to the Emirates this summer is his utterly sensational output.
For example, in just 33 appearances, totalling 2613 minutes, the Solna-born marksman, whom teammate Anthony Gordon dubbed the “best striker in Europe,” has scored 23 goals and provided five assists.
That means he is currently averaging a goal involvement every 1.17 games, or every 93.32 minutes, which is the sort of output that could clinch the title for Arteta’s side next season.
Ultimately, Arsenal need a new number nine this summer, and while he will undoubtedly cost a king’s ransom to get out of Newcastle, they should be doing all they can to secure Isak’s services.

A negociação vista como “impossível” – em especial do ponto de vista financeiro – está perto de um desfecho positivo. O Flamengo ainda mantém o discurso de cautela – como Marcos Braz deixou claro no Ninho, nesta quinta -, mas Oscar está, sim, próximo de reforçar o clube. O acordo com o jogador será por empréstimo até dezembro, o que foi alcançado graças ao desejo e às concessões feitas pelo atleta.

Nesta semana, Oscar e Shanghai oficializaram que o meia não voltará ao futebol chinês nesta temporada. O jogador está no Brasil há algumas semanas, acompanhou o nascimento de seu terceiro filho e, para ficar mais próximo à família, “bateu o pé” neste sentido, sendo, enfim, liberado pelo clube onde é ídolo e atua desde 2017. Antes, a direção do Fla já havia iniciado o trabalho de convencimento junto ao jogador, o qual, diante de tantos aspectos, o lado financeiro era um “detalhe”.
-Quando eu soube dos valores, eu falei: é impossível você entrar nessa negociação nessa situação que está. Que sequer eu tinha a certeza se ele de fato iria ficar até o final do ano aqui sem retornar para a China – explicou Marcos Braz em entrevista nesta quinta-feira.
Explica-se: Oscar se transferiu do Chelsea (ING) para o Shanghai Port, em dezembro de 2016, e, na época, os valores da transferência já chamaram atenção: o clube chinês pagou 52 milhões de libras (R$ 218 milhões, segundo a cotação da época), segundo a mídia local, pelo então atleta de 25 anos. Além disso, noticiou-se que o meia passaria a ter o terceiro maior salário do mundo entre jogadores.
+Fla tem saldo positivo e prega paciência em últimas tratativas
Com contrato até 2024 e muitos milhões a receber até lá, Oscar tem a situação financeira resolvida. Assim, não seria este o fator a ser discutido, tampouco o que motivaria o jogador a defender o clube do Rio neste momento. E a estratégia do Fla foi montada a partir disso.
A APROXIMAÇÃO E O CONVENCIMENTO
Se não abriu conversas com o Shanghai, Marcos Braz e Bruno Spindel, nomes fortes do futebol do Flamengo, entraram em contato com o jogador e seus representantes e iniciaram o trabalho de convencimento enquanto os mesmos buscavam o acordo com a parte chinesa. De cara, o clube colocou o Ninho do Urubu à disposição para o atleta manter a forma enquanto estiver no Brasil.
A estrutura de primeiro nível do CT é sempre um ponto levado em consideração nas negociações do clube – e que os próprios atletas costumam destacar ao chegarem ao Flamengo. A já existente relação dos dirigentes com o estafe do atleta manteve o clube na “jogada”.
E, como o próprio Braz destacou na entrevista desta quinta, caso a negociação tenha o desfecho positivo, com Oscar sendo apresentado como reforço no Ninho, a vontade do próprio será decisiva para isso.
-O tempo passa rápido. Essa entrevista foi há três semanas. Foram se concretizando situações que achava que não iriam acontecer. Falei que não procedia que Flamengo e Shanghai estavam conversando. Nunca teve isso dentro do nosso planejamento – disse Braz, seguindo:
– Agora vai se passando o tempo, o jogador está no Brasil, a gente vai encurtando as relações. Eu de fato falo com o jogador. Isso aí não é com o Oscar. Eu falo com todos os jogadores. Independentemente do tamanho do jogador, a gente sempre mantém a relação interpessoal.
CONCESSÃO SALARIAL POR PARTE DO MEIA
Além da estrutura do CT, a chance de brigar por títulos que o atleta ainda não tem, a oportunidade de atuar em um clube com a visibilidade do Flamengo e a possibilidade de, se possível, estender a passagem pelo Ninho para as próximas temporadas, foram outras “cartas” colocadas na mesa pela diretoria da Gávea. Sobre a questão financeira, o clube precisará contar com a concessão do brasileiro.
O salário pago pelo Shanghai Port é fora da realidade do Flamengo, e, confirmado como reforço, Oscar abrirá mão de parte significativa de seus vencimentos para jogar no clube. Além da questão prática, de orçamento, a diretoria também se preocupa em manter o ambiente positivo do vestiário. Portanto, o meia – hoje com 30 anos – chegará para receber um valor condizente ao das demais estrelas do elenco.
Vivo na Copa do Brasil, Libertadores e Brasileirão, o clube trabalha com o fechamento da janela de transferências como prazo para a chegada de Oscar ou outros nomes. Mesmo que venha jogar apenas o campeonato nacional – cujas inscrições se encerram no próximo dia 15 -, o Flamengo mantém o interesse em Oscar, que é esperado no Rio de Janeiro ainda nesta semana para finalizar as negociações.
-Oscar chegando até o último dia que permita sua inscrição para o Brasileiro é de interesse. Isso não quer dizer que o negócio será efetuado. A gente ainda não abriu nenhuma tratativa, ainda não tem nada certo. A gente até acha que não terá problema nenhum, vale muito a vontade do jogador – concluiu o cauteloso VP Marcos Braz.
171-run fifth-wicket stand leaves Glamorgan sweltering in the sunshine
ECB Reporters Network12-Jun-2023
David Bedingham was in the runs for Durham•Getty Images
Centuries from David Bedingham and Ollie Robinson provided the foundation of the Durham fightback on day two of their LV= Insurance County Championship Division two clash against Glamorgan.The visitors reduced Durham to 119 for 4 to put the pressure on, but Robinson and Bedingham responded with a stand of 171 for the fifth wicket. Robinson was the more fluent of the two batters and reached his second ton of the season from just 93 balls, continuing his impressive form.Bedingham had to work for his century but was rewarded for his effort posting his 15th first-class hundred on his way to his highest score of the campaign. The South African pressed Durham ahead of Glamorgan’s first-innings total, sharing another century stand with Graham Clark to give the home side the platform to build a sizeable lead on day three.
Glamorgan enjoyed a promising start to day two by making made inroads into the Durham line-up. Nightwatch Stanley McAlindon failed to see out the first over to hand Timm van der Gugten his first wicket, while James Harris then removed Michael Jones as Sam Northeast claimed a brilliant catch at second slip. The first half-hour could have been better for Glamorgan, but Alex Lees’ edge travelled between third slip and gully, denying Harris the second wicket of his first over.Scott Borthwick almost gave his wicket away when he attempted a quick single, only to be turned back by Lees halfway down the track. Time stood still for Andrew Salter to connect with the stumps, but he missed with his throw to let the Durham skipper off the hook. The two Durham batters got on the same page to register their fifty stand before Lees worked his way to his third half-century of the term.However, Glamorgan fought back to edge the morning session as Borthwick picked out Zain-ul-Hassan at midwicket before Lees was bowled in the final over before the interval by Andy Gorvin.Related

Another Carlson century underpins solid Glamorgan innings
Durham required a partnership in the afternoon session to stem the side. Robinson and Bedingham answered the call, emulating Glamorgan’s efforts from day one with a brilliant effort under the baking sun at Chester-le-Street. Robinson endured a tough time against van der Gugten early in his innings, surviving a close lbw shout on 3.But, after grinding through the first half-hour, the 24-year-old shifted through the gears with ease. He outscored Bedingham at the other end, surging past fifty and then towards his second century of the season, reaching three figures in the final over before tea with a sweep to the fence against Kiran Carlson with his 17th boundary.Bedingham was more reserved than his team-mate, but more than played his role as the two batters combined for 166 runs in the session at over five runs per over. Only a brilliant piece of keeping from Chris Cooke halted Robinson’s charge as he gathered a leg-side delivery from Gorvin and stretched to whip off the Durham batter’s bails after he overbalanced out of his crease.
Despite the loss of Robinson, Durham maintained their intensity as Bedingham scored his second century of the season, cutting Van der Gugten to the fence from the second delivery from the new ball. Clark compounded Durham’s advantage and his striking ability allowed him to follow his hundred from his last first-class outing with another milestone, posting fifty from 75 balls.As the day came to a close, Bedingham and Clark steered the hosts past the 400-run mark, earning a fourth batting point in the process and taking a lead of 21 into day three with five first-innings wickets remaining.
Stuart Broad said he was amazed that no senior Australian player questioned the morality of Jonny Bairstow’s dismissal
ESPNcricinfo staff04-Jul-2023
Stuart Broad: ‘It may have been a bit silly, but I also shouted ‘in’ every time I crossed the line’•Getty Images
Stuart Broad was “amazed that not one senior player” in the Australian team “questioned what they had done” during or after the hotly-debated dismissal of Jonny Bairstow in the Lord’s Test.Writing in his column for the two days after a heated fifth day at Lord’s, where England lost to go 2-0 down in the Ashes, Broad brought up the cultural review Australia had gone through in the aftermath of ball-tampering scandal involving sandpaper in Cape Town in 2018.”What amazed me, and what I told the Australians I could not believe as we left the field at lunch, was that not one senior player among them — and I very much understand in the emotion of the game that the bowler and wicketkeeper would have thought ‘that’s out’ — questioned what they had done.”Especially given what their team has been through over recent years, with all their cultural change. Not one of them said: ‘Hang on, lads. I’m not really sure about this.’ Not one of them thought: ‘He’s gaining no advantage. He’s not trying to get a run. It’s the end of the over. It’s a bit of a random dismissal. We should cancel that appeal.'”Ultimately, Pat Cummins is a really great guy and I would be amazed, once the emotion settles, if he does not sit back and think, ‘I got that one wrong’, even though his bottom line at the time was winning a Test match.”Related

Ashes finds its flashpoint as Bairstow stumping ignites England
The incident occurred when England were five down and needed a further 178 runs to win: Bairstow ducked underneath a short ball from Cameron Green, scratched the crease with his boot and walked down the pitch towards his partner Ben Stokes at the non-striker’s end. Before Bairstow had begun to leave his ground, wicketkeeper Alex Carey had gathered the ball on the bounce and, in one motion, under-armed a throw at stumps at the striker’s end. The on-field umpires, Ahsan Raza and Chris Gaffaney, referred the decision to TV umpire Marais Erasmus who gave the batter out – and the dismissal was recorded as stumped. Bairstow glared at the Australian huddle as he walked off and boos rang out around Lord’s. The crowd – who have been largely subdued throughout the first four days of this Test – then chanted repeatedly: “Same old Aussies, always cheating.”Broad said, for him, the crux of the matter was whether Bairstow was “looking to gain an advantage” and dismissed comparisons to previous incidents where England were the team trying to effect the dismissal.
“Yes, I have seen a clip from earlier in the match when in his guise as wicketkeeper, Jonny himself threw the ball at the stumps. But that was because Marnus Labuschagne was batting outside of his crease — in doing so, attempting to take the lbw out of the game. In other words, seeking an advantage,” Broad wrote. “Clips of Colin de Grandhomme being run out in the Lord’s Test last year have done the rounds, too, and that is just the most ludicrous comparison ever, because he got hit on the pad coming down the pitch, was searching for a run and Ollie Pope threw down the stumps from gully. Again, trying to gain an advantage.”With regards to the Jonny incident, zero advantage was being taken there: he let the ball go, scratched his mark within the crease, and acknowledging it as the end of the over, went to speak to Ben Stokes. And if you look at the footage of when the stumps were broken, one umpire has got the bowler’s cap in his hand, the other is head down, walking in from square leg — actions that suggest they too thought the over had finished.”So, within the laws of the game, is the ball still live because Alex Carey catches it and throws it? Probably. Is there any advantage being taken by England? No. Does a full stadium of people think that ball has been and gone? Yes. On BBC radio commentary, Jonathan Agnew has already moved on from the calling of the ball.”And while Broad did not condone the abuse the Australian players received from some MCC members as they walked through the long room at Lord’s at the lunch interval, he did not think it was unusual. He also elaborated on his prolonged exchange of words with the Australian players after he replaced Bairstow in the middle. “The Lord’s crowd are obviously huge cricket lovers and never before have I seen a reaction from them like that. They were so angry. I am not saying that the MCC members shouting at players was right but having toured Australia four times, I certainly do not think hostile behaviour towards away teams is unusual.Stuart Broad: ‘I am always better when I’m in a bit of a battle. I normally try and pick a fight with someone on the opposition but on this occasion I picked a fight with the whole team’•Getty Images
“The red mist came over me, too, when I arrived at the crease to replace Jonny, and some of what I said was picked up on the stump mics — which naively, given my experience, I didn’t really think about. I was angered by Australia’s decision, particularly having heard their lines about creating a new legacy as a team, and how they have changed since the tour of South Africa in 2018. I just said to Pat on repeat: ‘All these boos are for you, for your decision.’ And: ‘What a great opportunity you had to think clearly.'”Also, I needed to support Ben Stokes in any way, shape or form I could, and I am always better when I’m in a bit of a battle. I normally try and pick a fight with someone on the opposition but on this occasion I picked a fight with the whole team.”To Alex Carey, I said: ‘This is what you’ll be remembered for, and that’s such a shame.’ It may have been a bit silly, but I also shouted ‘in’ every time I crossed the line. It annoyed the Australians for maybe half-an-hour, although after two-and-a-half hours, they were probably a bit bored of it.The third Ashes Test begins on Thursday, and Broad was of the view shared by Stokes, Cummins and Brendon McCullum that it would be fiery. “Headingley is not the quietest place at the best of times but this week we will have to use the atmosphere to our advantage.”

Róger Guedes disputou 48 jogos na temporada, e só está atrás de Du Queiroz em números de jogos, que fez uma partida a mais em relação ao atacante.
Desde que foi contratado pelo clube do Parque São Jorge no segundo semestre de 2021, após rescindir contrato com o Shandong Taishan, da China, Guedes é o jogador do elenco que mais vezes balançou as redes desde que foi contratado, com 18 gols.
Róger Guedes também lidera a equipe em grandes chances criadas (10) e faltas sofridas (124) desde sua estreia, segundo o SofaScore.
حجز باريس سان جيرمان الفرنسي مقعدًا في نصف نهائي كأس العالم للأندية بعد فوزه على بايرن ميونخ بثنائية نظيفة في ربع النهائي.
وأحرز هدفي باريس سان جيرمان، ديزاير دويه في الدقيقة 78 بعد تسديدة ماكرة من خارج منطقة الجزاء، وعثمان ديمبلي في الدقيقة السادسة من الوقت بدل الضائع بعد اختراق أشرف حكيمي ومروره من أكثر من لاعب ليصنع للفرنسي الذي سدد بقوة في شباك نوير.

وشهدت المباراة حالتي طرد من نصيب باريس سان جيرمان للاعب ويليان باتشو في الدقيقة 83، ولوكاس هرنانديز في الدقيقة الثانية من الوقت بدل الضائع، ليكمل باريس اللقاء بتسعة لاعبين.
وسجل عثمان ديمبلي الهدف الثاني واحتفل بطريقة النجم البرتغالي الراحل ديوجو جوتا (بلايستيشن)، في لفتة رائعة ليهدي الهدف له بعد أن توفى أول أمس إثر حادث مروري أليم.

وتعرض ديوجو جوتا لاعب ليفربول وشقيقه أندريه لاعب بينافيل أحد أندية الدوري الدرجة الثانية، لحادث سير مروع وقع في مقاطعة زامورا شمال غرب إسبانيا.
ويعد عثمان ديمبلي أحد أبرز المرشحين للفوز بالكرة الذهبية على الرغم من وجود منافسة قوية من العديد من اللاعبين، لكن تتويج الفرنسي بدوري أبطال أوروبا وظهوره بشكل حاسم في مباراة اليوم يرجح من فرصه للتتويج بالجوائز هذا الموسم.
جدير بالذكر أن باريس سان جيرمان ينتظر معرفة الفائز من بوروسيا دورتموند وريال مدريد لمواجهته في نصف نهائي كأس العالم للأندية، بينما سيلتقي تشيلسي مع فلومينينسي في نصف النهائي الآخر، بعد فوزهما على بالميراس والهلال السعودي على الترتيب.
