Sunderland journo on O’Nien v Rotherham

Sunderland journalist Philip West was left slamming the display of Luke O’Nien in their 1-1 draw at home to Rotherham United in League One on Tuesday.

The Lowdown: Vital point?

It is safe to say that the Black Cats were not at their best at the Stadium of Light, but grabbed themselves what could be a vital point in their hopes of securing a play-off place.

A Michael Ihiekwe own goal in the 88th minute spared their blushes after the central defender had given the visitors the lead early in the first half, and that point keeps the Black Cats in the top six… just.

The Latest: O’Nien slammed

Taking to Twitter, West slammed a few of the performances from the Wearside club, including O’Nien’s:

“Too many of our players are having an off-night here. Matete went into his shell after the yellow, O’Nien has been poor, and Broadhead has been neutralised.”

The Verdict: Harsh

The criticism of O’Nien seems harsh as he was one of SAFC’s better players on the night.

Yes, he was guilty of giving possession away no fewer than 15 times in total, and also made two fouls, no dribbles or key passes (SofaScore), but the central midfield player at least put a shift in for his team and improved as the game went on.

O’Nien won 11 individual duels, more than anyone else on the pitch, and also recorded two tackles, one clearance and interception, while he himself was fouled five times, again more than any other player, as SofaScore gave him a respectable 6.9/10 overall rating.

Nonetheless, he looks to have secured his starting place as Alex Neil’s side face Morecambe away from home on the final day.

كوندي: مبابي يشق طريقه نحو التاريخ.. وليس لدي خصم مفضل بين إنجلترا والسنغال

تحدث جول كوندي عقب فوز فرنسا على بولندا في دور الـ16 والتأهل للدور ربع النهائي، والخصم الذي سيواجهه البلوز بين إنجلترا والسنغال.

وفاز حامل اللقب على بولندا بثلاثية لهدف، ليتأهل منتخب فرنسا لربع النهائي، منتظرًا الفائز من مواجهة إنجلترا والسنغال.

وفي تصريحاته لـ”بي إن سبورتس” عقب المواجهة قال مدافع برشلونة: “كانت مباراة صعبة خاصة في الشوط الأول”.

مضيفًا: “أظن أن الخصم مر بفترات قوة ونحن فترة ضعف قليلة تركناهم يحصلون ربما على بعض الثقة بخسارة كرات بسذاجة ربما قلة ضغط”.

تابع كوندي: “هذا أمر عوضناه بشكل جيد في الشوط الثاني، رغم أنهم حصلوا على الكرة في بعض الأحيان، لكن نحن ربما كنا أكثر تماسكًا، لم نقبل فرصًا كثيرة من خصمنا، ونحن سعداء لكننا كنا فعالين عند اللزوم، ربما النقطة السلبية هي الهدف الذي استقبلناه في النهاية”.

وأكمل كوندي: “ومبابي يشق طريقه شيئًا فشيئًا نحو التاريخ وجميعنا سنواصل للأمام”.

واصل الفرنسي: “هذه مجموعة يوجد فيها مزيج من الأجيال والأمور تسير بشكل جيد جدًا، كل شخص منا يعبر عن مهارته على أرض الملعب، والأهم أننا متحدون وأبرزنا ذلك اليوم، في اللحظات الأكثر تعقيدًا كنا موجودين وسجلنا في اللحظات الأخيرة”.

Newcastle transfer news on Osimhen

Newcastle United are reportedly now readying a record offer for Victor Osimhen in the summer.

The Lowdown: Statement signing

With safety in the Premier League all but guaranteed this season, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s (KSA) Public Investment Fund (PIF) are sure to be looking for a statement signing at St. James’ Park in the summer to really kickstart the new era, much like the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes from Lyon in the January transfer window.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/newcastle-news-6/” title=”Newcastle news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Osimhen could well be that signing, having scored 17 goals with a further six assists in total over all competitions so far this season (Transfermarkt).

He is sure to be in demand by some of Europe’s top clubs, with Liverpool and Arsenal reportedly both preparing moves already, so swooping in and bringing him to Tyneside would be a big show of ambition.

The Latest: Offer readied

As per Calciomercato, the North East club are ‘especially’ interested in signing Osimhen this summer, having tried to sign him in January.

They are ‘ready’ to guarantee him a salary of between €8-9m (£6.7-£7.6m) per season, which would make him their highest-paid player, but he would cost a whopping €100m (£84.4m), a club-record transfer fee.

The Verdict: Worth the risk

Of course, spending that much money on one player presents a lot of risk, but at 23 years of age, Osimhen has the potential to become one of the world’s best in his position.

Described as ‘unplayable’ by journalist Zach Lowy, and a ‘warrior‘ by his manager Luciano Spalletti, the Nigeria international certainly has a lot of admirers, and so this will by no means be an easy deal to do.

Likened to Mo Salah in terms of his importance to Napoli compared to the Egyptian’s significance at Anfield by Serie A legend Jose Altafini, signing Osimhen would no doubt be a big coup for the Tyneside outfit, should they be able to pull it off.

Tamim steers Bangladesh to series win

Tamim Iqbal’s explosive 95 blew away Zimbabwe on a slow Chittagong pitch onwhich the visitors had limped to 188 for 6

Tamim Iqbal’s explosive 95 blew away Zimbabwe on a slow Chittagong pitch on which the visitors had limped to 188 for 6, giving Bangladesh a six-wicket victory and a sixth-consecutive series win over Zimbabwe. On a track where the rest of the batsmen managed ten boundaries, Tamim clattered seven sixes and five fours after starting cautiously and surviving some anxious moments. Despite three of the top five batsmen contributing 13 runs between them, and Junaid Siddique taking 105 deliveries to reach a half-century, Tamim’s charge allowed Bangladesh to canter to victory as they took the series 3-1.He had curbed his natural attacking instincts after Imrul Kayes fell to the fourth delivery of the chase, before opening up with a pull over square leg off Chris Mpofu in the seventh over. Mpofu’s next over was an example of how the chase progressed – in sporadic spurts amid fortuitous let-offs. Tamim went for his favourite heave down the ground off the first delivery, but got an inside-edge that went just past the stumps for a boundary. The third delivery was lifted cleanly over long-off for six, before Mpofu made a mess of a straightforward chance as Tamim chipped a slower one in the air.Tamim continued to take his chances, treating the spinners with disdain and repeatedly targeting the area between deep midwicket and long-off. He also played-and-missed in between, highlighting the slow nature of the pitch though it had quickened up a touch compared to when Zimbabwe were batting. Flicks and drives just cleared the infield, but what stood out in Tamim’s effort was the urgency with which he approached the modest target, in stark contrast to Zimbabwe’s batsmen who had crawled at around two an over for more than half their innings.Siddique’s effort was far scratchier as he struggled to find the gaps. But Tamim’s briskness at the other end meant he could get away with working the ball around. Elton Chigumbura rotated his bowlers but it didn’t have any effect on Tamim, who reached his half-century in the 20th over off 61 balls. Zimbabwe didn’t help themselves as Tamim was left off once again, Tatenda Taibu failing to catch the bottom-edge off Ray Price. Tamim responded by moving from 50 to 95 in 34 deliveries, smashing five more sixes before falling while attempting yet another six, holing out to Graeme Cremer who took a diving catch running in from the deep midwicket boundary. By then, however, Bangladesh needed only 50 off 21 overs.Taibu and Craig Ervine had earlier put on Zimbabwe’s highest partnership of the series but their progress was painfully slow, before a late charge in the batting Powerplay took the visitors to 188 on a surface that didn’t turn much. Only nine boundaries were hit – six of them in the final six overs – partly because of the low and slow nature of the surface and the damp outfield, but largely due to the lack of intent Zimbabwe displayed.The first boundary came in the 24th over when Taibu stepped out and lifted NaeemIslam over mid-off. The batsmen showed more purpose after that and the duo had added 95 before Ervine fell, going for another reverse-sweep and getting a top edge that Mushfiqur Rahim gobbled up. Taibu, who made his first half-century of the series, continued to hustle between the wickets. From 137 for 4 after 44 overs, Zimbabwe took 42 off the batting Powerplay, using the lofted shot over the infield to good effect.Zimbabwe’s downward spiral had continued in the morning after Chigumbura opted to bat, and their confused state was typified by some mindless running. Bangladesh usually rely on their spinners to contain the runs but today their quicks, Mashrafe Mortaza and Shafiul Islam, did that job by being on target right from the start.Zimbabwe helped Bangladesh with repeated attempts at self-destruction, the first of which came as early as the first legitimate delivery of the match, also the first free-hit of the series. Brendan Taylor pushed a full swinging delivery to extra cover and rushed more than halfway down the pitch before he glanced at Hamilton Masakadza, who was rightly rooted at the non-striker’s end. Suhrawadi Shuvo had already swooped down on the ball, and waited for an instant before aiming at the striker’s stumps and scoring a direct hit.Mortaza deserved some rewards for his efforts, and soon trapped Masakadza and Dabengwa leg-before. Zimbabwe had slipped to 21 for 3, and the 11th over was already on. They never really recovered after that, and Tamim’s blistering knock in his first series after wrist surgery shut them out completely.

O clube continuará promovendo ações sociais, buscando o envolvimento da sociedade com nossa instituição, pois este é o caminho para que o futebol seja o protagonista das páginas de Esporte e não as cenas de violência que nos acostumamos a ver em todas as praças esportivas do Brasil.

Collingwood wicket massive moment – Siddle

Peter Siddle and his team-mates are basking in Australia’s dramatic turnaround but realise the job of regaining the Ashes is far from complete

Peter Siddle and his team-mates are basking in Australia’s dramatic turnaround but realise the job of regaining the Ashes is far from complete. Australia have stormed back into the campaign with two days of excellent work in Perth, and require only five more breakthroughs to draw level at 1-1.England finished at an awful 5 for 81 in their pursuit of a now impossible 391 and Siddle said the locals’ performance had changed the feel of the series. “There was obviously a lot of pressure on us in this match to get a result. There’s still a lot of work to be done but it does make a big change for us.”Shane Watson set up Australia’s second innings with 95 while Michael Hussey’s 116 pushed them to 309. Mitchell Johnson and Ryan Harris then grabbed two wickets each and the only problem for Australia was a damaged finger for Ricky Ponting when he deflected Jonathan Trott’s edge to Brad Haddin.The fifth wicket came when Paul Collingwood was left to face the last ball after James Anderson, the nightwatchman, turned down a single from the penultimate delivery. Collingwood then edged Harris to third slip, where Steven Smith collected a sharp take. “It was a big point in the game for us to get five wickets at the end of the day,” Siddle said. “It was a massive moment for us.”England’s batsmen have been dominant over the first two games but Australia’s pace quartet has been so strong in this match that Smith and Shane Watson haven’t been used. “We just knew that if we played our best cricket that would put them under a lot of pressure,” Siddle said. “That’s what we’ve shown in this Test match, that we can play some good cricket.”We’ve shown everyone out here, batting and bowling, that we can fight and we can work hard.”

Mudanças de Carpegiani não dão certo e custam a queda no Carioca

MatériaMais Notícias

Paulo César Carpegiani fez mudanças para a partida contra o Botafogo. As apostas, que ainda não haviam sido testadas em jogos na temporada, não deram o resultado esperado e resultaram na eliminação do Fla no Carioca. O técnico justificou, mas admitiu que os testes no jogo decisivo não deram certo.

-Perdemos o primeiro jogo com a equipe titular, um pouco diferente da que vinha atuando porque eu achava que era necessário ter um comportamento mais ajustado no meio. As coisas não fluíram como nós pretendíamos. Tudo o que aconteceu dentro de campo é responsabilidade minha – disse o treinador.

Na escalação inicial para o clássico no Maracanã, as novidades foram Everton improvisado na lateral-esquerda, Pará de volta ao lado direito e Willian Arão substituindo Éverton Ribeiro na linha de quatro meio-campistas do Flamengo.

O principal problema foi na esquerda, com Everton. O camisa 22, talvez o jogador mais regular e dos menos contestados pela torcida ao lado de Lucas Paquetá, foi recuado e sofreu com os avanços de Marcinho e Renatinho. Foi assim que surgiu o gol da vitória do Botafogo, com o lateral adversário indo à linha de fundo e cruzando na medida para Luiz Fernando marcar o gol.

No entanto, para Carpegiani, a improvisação de Everton não foi responsável pelos problemas defensivos, e sim a marcação na intermediária do campo.

– O improviso contra o Fluminense resultou em gol ali. O gol foi por conta do mau funcionamento do meio-campo. Então, a marcação no meio não foi bem. O Botafogo nas poucas vezes que foi ao ataque, foi perigoso. Com o Renê poderia ter sofrido o gol assim mesmo – analisou o treinador após a derrota.

Como o Flamengo iniciou a partida contra o Botafogo:

Como é o time-base do Flamengo na atual temporada:

أنطوان بيل: محمد صلاح مثل ميسي.. والمغرب من أفضل المنتخبات في كأس العالم

قال جوزيف أنطوان بيل حارس مرمى الكاميرون السابق، إن المباراة الأخيرة للأسود أمام البرازيل كانت مشرفة ومميزة جدًا، مشيرًا إلى أن الفوز السامبا تسبب في سعادة الجميع، ولكن الانتصار مع الخروج محبط.

وأضاف بيل في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر فضائية “الحياة”: “منتخب الكاميرون لم يكن مرشحًا للتأهل من مجموعته بكأس العالم، الأداء لم يكن جيدًا في المباراة الأولى، ولكنه اختلف أمام البرازيل، وللأمانة البرازيل لعبت المباراة بالفريق الثاني”.

وتابع: “المنتخب المغربي قدم أداءً رائعًا بكل تأكيد ولن يصل إلى نصف نهائي كأس العالم إلا إذا خاض مواجهات كبيرة، هم من أفضل المنتخبات في بطولة كأس العالم، والأهم أن تحافظ على ما وصلت إليه وهذا ما فعله المغرب”.

وواصل: “أتمنى أن تصل المغرب إلى أقصى طموحاتها، ولما لا يصلون للنهائي، يجب أن يصدقوا أنفسهم عندما يواجهون فرنسا وأنهم قادرين على تحقيق المكسب، ستكون مباراة حماسية”.

واستطرد: “لن تفوز بكأس العالم إلا عندما تملك حارسا مميزًا ورائعًا، والأربعة منتخبات الذين وصلوا للدور نصف النهائي لديهم حراس مرمى مميزين جدًا، وبالأخص ياسين بونو وحارس مرمى كرواتيا”.

وأتم: “محمد صلاح لاعب من طراز خاص وأحد أفضل اللاعبين، ومثله مثل ليونيل ميسي في منتخب الأرجنتين، عاش لحظات خاصة جدًا، وفريق ليفربول محظوظ جدًا بامتلاك صلاح، هذا أمر ليس سهلًا، لاعب رائع وكبير”.

واختتم: “أتوقع قدرة منتخب كرواتيا على الفوز على منتخب الأرجنتين والتأهل للنهائي”.
