سلط مدرب ليفربول آرني سلوت، الضوء على أهمية محمد صلاح للفريق، متحدثًا بعد الفوز أمام ساوثهامبتون، وعلّق على صعوبة المنافسة بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، خاصة مع توالي المباريات والمنافسة بدوري أبطال أوروبا.
أشار سلوت أيضًا لضرورة عدم الانجراف وراء التقدم بفارق 8 نقاط عن مانشستر سيتي أقرب ملاحقي ليفربول بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.
وسجل محمد صلاح هدفين في فوز ليفربول بنتيجة 3-2 أمام ساوثهامبتون، ويستعد الفريق لملاقاة ريال مدريد بدوري أبطال أوروبا.
وقال سلوت في تصريحات نشرها موقع ليفربول الرسمي: “نحن نعلم دائمًا أنه يمكننا الاعتماد على محمد صلاح إذا كانت الأمور صعبة علينا، بعد أن تأخرنا 2-1 لم أشعر حقًا أن هذه هي اللحظة التي يجب أن نسجل فيها”.
وأضاف: “ثم من تمريرة رائعة من ريان جرافينبيرخ فعلنا ذلك، لكن توقيت الركض والطريقة التي أنهى بها محمد صلاح ذلك كان مميزًا وساعدنا ذلك حقًا على العودة إلى المباراة بالطبع”.
وواصل: “من الطبيعي أن تسجل، عندما تكون النتيجة 2-2 يساعدك ذلك على العودة إلى المباراة، ولكننا كنا بحاجة إلى هذا الهدف، ربما للعب آخر 25 دقيقة من لعبنا، لأنه بالنسبة لي كان الأمر مسألة وقت قبل أن نسجل هدفًا”.

وعن مدى صعوبة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز ومدى صعوبة المباراة قبل مواجهة ريال مدريد، أردف: “هذا هو الفارق… هذا الدوري يطلب الكثير من كل لاعب، ثم إذا لعبت بعد ذلك في أوروبا، فهذا ليس بالأمر السهل دائمًا”.
وأشار: “أظهرت فرق قليلة فقط في إنجلترا أنها تستطيع القيام بذلك، لقد أظهر ليفربول ذلك في الماضي لعدة مواسم، كان الأمر أكثر صعوبة في العامين الماضيين”.
وواصل: “هذا هو السبب أيضًا في أن الفرق في إنجلترا لديها مثل هذا الفريق الكبير لأن الأندية الكبرى لديها الكثير من المال، يمكننا أيضًا تكوين فريق أكبر من بعض الفرق الأخرى في البلدان الأخرى”.
وأكد: “هذا أيضًا ما نحتاجه، لقد رأيته اليوم مرة أخرى، اللاعبان أو الثلاثة الذين جاءوا (كبدلاء) كان لهم تأثير حقيقي على المباراة وهذا أيضًا ما نحتاجه في هذا الدوري”.
وعن عدم الانجراف وراء تقدم ليفربول في الصدارة بفارق ثماني نقاط عن مانشستر سيتي، أوضح: “لا، بالتأكيد إنها ميزة صحية، ولكننا نعلم أيضًا ما يتعين علينا القيام به لتحقيق هذا التقدم الذي نتمتع به في الوقت الحالي، وتحقيق هذه الانتصارات”.
وأسترسل سلوت: “أعتقد أنه ربما كانت هناك مباراة أو مباراتان لنا حققنا فيهما فوزًا بفارق كبير، لكن بقية المباريات كانت بفارق ضئيل، نحن نعلم مدى صعوبة الفوز بمباراة وهؤلاء اللاعبون أمضوا وقتًا أطول في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز مقارنة بي”.
وتابع: “أعتقد أنه في الموسم الماضي وحتى في وقت لاحق من الموسم كان آرسنال متقدمًا بثماني نقاط وعاد مانشستر سيتي”.
وأكمل: “لذا فأنت تعلم أنه إذا واجهت آرسنال ومانشستر سيتي وتشيلسي وكل هذه الفرق الأخرى، كان توتنهام رائعًا بالأمس أيضًا (أمام السيتي) فهم جميعًا قادرون على الفوز بالعديد من المباريات على التوالي، من الجيد أن يكون لدينا هذا الموقف، ولكننا بالتأكيد لا نريد أن ننجرف وراء هذا الاتجاه”.
وبخصوص قرار ركلة الجزاء التي احتسبت ضد ليفربول، علّق: “بشكل عام، كان من الممكن أحيانًا اتخاذ قرار مختلف أو لا، ولكن بالنسبة لي، مع التسلل وتحديد ما إذا كانت الكرة داخل أو خارج منطقة الجزاء، كان الأمر واضحًا”.
وأكد سلوت: “كانت مخالفة، وكان ذلك واضحًا، لذا إذا رأوا أنها كانت داخل منطقة الجزاء، فنعم، إنها ركلة جزاء، في بعض الأحيان، مع الضربة، نعم أو لا، أو البطاقة الحمراء، نعم أو لا”.
وأتم: “كانت هناك أيضًا لعبة في الشوط الأول حيث يمكنك الجدال حول ما إذا كانت البطاقة الحمراء، نعم أو لا، هذه الأشياء يمكنك الجدال بشأنها، ولكن التسلل وداخل أو خارج منطقة الجزاء هو شيء لا يمكنك الجدال بشأنه”.
Newcastle United are expected to make a big contract offer for a "special" Premier League player in the summer transfer window, according to a new update.
Newcastle eyeing defensive signings
Eddie Howe's side have managed to turn their season around after a particularly poor period earlier in the campaign, but that's not to say that a lack of depth within the squad hasn't been exposed, highlighting the need for summer additions.
Centre-back arguably looks like the most pressing area of the pitch to improve on, not least because Newcastle will be without Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles well into next season, with the defensive duo both suffering ACL injuries.
Fulham ace Tosin Adarabioyo has emerged as a rumoured target for Howe, having put together a strong season that has seen him average four clearances and 2.9 aerial duel wins per game in the Premier League in 2023/24.
Tosin Adarabioyo for Fulham
Similarly, Salernitana centre-back Lorenzo Pirola has also been linked with sealing a summer switch to St James' Park, with the 22-year-old standing out as an exciting long-term option. He has won 18 caps for Italy's Under-21s, and will surely expect to make the step up to the senior team at some point.
Then there's Sporting CP star Ousmane Diomande, who is still basking in the glory of winning the Primeira Liga title last weekend. The youngster is also wanted by Newcastle, who view him as an exciting target who could mature into one of Europe's leading central defenders over time.
Newcastle planning offer for "special" player
According to MilanLive [via Sport Witness], Newcastle are planning to make a significant contract offer for Adarabioyo this summer, and they hold an advantage over AC Milan in the battle to sign him.
While the Serie A giants are thought to be "examining" a move for the £47,000-a-week Fulham centre-back, the Magpies can give him a "very superior contract" and are "very interested" in acquiring his services.
This is a real boost for Newcastle, suggesting that they are in pole position to sign Adarabioyo, completing the signing of an imposing footballer in the process. Now 26, he has been something of a late developer in some ways, gradually seeing his reputation rise since joining Fulham back in 2020, but he appears to be coming right into his prime years.
He has been a rock at the heart of the Cottagers' defence this season, helping them become even more of an established Premier League team, and manager Marco Silva is under no illusions as to how important he is to his side: "We missed him a lot in the first three months of the season. Issa [Diop] did really well, but Tosin is a special player for us – I can’t hide that situation. The way he can defend the box, and on the ball, he’s a special player. He can build the way I want to play."The fact that Adarabioyo knows the Premier League well could make him less of a risk than other targets from abroad, and his contract expires in the summer, meaning he would be available on a free transfer, allowing Newcastle to offer him a good contract while leaving funds for other big signings.

Além disso, Glédson atingiu um recorde significativo pelo clube sendo o arqueiro que ficou por mais tempo sem tomar um gol na história do Avaí, contabilizando 834 minutos no total.
– Estou muito feliz por esse momento que estou vivendo. Para muitos que desacreditavam por conta do fator da idade. Mas esse ano venho conseguindo bater metas pessoais, conquistei um título importante que foi o Catarinense e claro consecutivamente vamos brigar aí pelo Brasileiro. Temos uma longa caminhada pela frente, e tenho uma expectativa muito grande de continuar fazendo o meu melhor para ajudar o Avaí. Quanto a esses recordes pessoais eu fico extremamente contente e espero continuar contribuindo. Trabalho muito firme e forte todos os dias para estar sempre bem e em constante evolução – disse.
Glédson jogou todos os jogos do Avaí na temporada e, por isso, é um dos atletas da posição que mais atuaram no Brasil. Acima dele estão os goleiros Cássio (Corinthians) e Marcos Felipe (Fluminense), com 32 jogos cada. Ao lado dele, com 31 jogos, estão Felipe Alves (Fortaleza) e Mota (Sampaio Corrêa).
Em pouco menos da metade dos confrontos disputados (16), Gledson saiu sem ser vazado, possuindo uma média atualizada de 0,67 gols sofridos por jogo.
Em 2021 já fez mais do dobro do número de jogos da temporada 2020 e atualmente é o segundo goleiro com maior porcentagem de defesas com reflexos na Série B (60% do total). Atualmente, Glédson disputa a quinta Série B na carreira.
Taylor hit 1389 runs across the three formats and became New Zealand’s leading Test run-scorer
ESPNcricinfo staff30-Apr-2020Ross Taylor has taken the Sir Richard Hadlee medal as New Zealand’s overall cricketer of the year on the final day of the NZC awards.Tim Southee was named Test player of the year after taking 40 wickets in eight Tests and Kim Cotton, who stood in the T20 World Cup final at the MCG, was umpire of the year to round out the virtual awards.Taylor’s honour, the third time he has won the medal, came on the back of a period where he scored 1389 runs across all formats, broken down to 511 at 39.30 in Tests, 548 at 49.91 in ODIs and 330 at 30.00 in T20Is.ALSO READ: Kane Williamson and Sophie Devine among New Zealand limited-overs winnersDuring that time he became New Zealand’s lead Test run-scorer when he overtook Stephen Fleming during the SCG Test in January and also became the first player to reach 100 appearances in all three formats.As he had during the emotional moment of the Test milestone, Taylor reflected on the role of his mentor Martin Crowe.”I’m sure he would be proud of this,” Taylor said. “Marty was able to pass on a lot of his experience and wisdom which has played a massive part in my career. It was always something that he always pushed me to do [break records]. I think he would probably be surprised at how well I have done.”But I’ve been fortunate to be helped by a lot of people over the years and I guess when you win awards like this it’s nice to be able to thank them.”Reflecting on the 12 months overall, Taylor said: “It’s been full of ups and downs. A World Cup final – losing that final. The Boxing Day Test, which was such a proud moment to be part of and to have so many Kiwis there supporting us was something I’ll never forget. I was happy with the consistency this season and any time you can contribute to the team performance and help get the team across the line is special.”Hadlee, who was part of the selection panel that first picked Taylor in 2006, praised his longevity.”I’ve watched your progress over the past 14 years and I just want to congratulate you on all your performances and records to date. You’ve been a wonderful performer, you’ve got a fantastic record and on behalf of New Zealand Cricket I’d just like to say thanks very much for your contribution, not only to New Zealand cricket – but to world cricket.”

He has also pushed for systematic reforms to the domestic structure to make it robust
ESPNcricinfo staff23-Jul-2020
AFP
Ehsan Mani, the PCB chairman, believes inviting foreign players would make country’s domestic structure more robust and competitive. While it’s still unclear if a new ruling is being worked out, there are existing provisions to invite and register guest players with teams in the circuit.While financial viability has been seen as a hindrance for teams when it comes to signing overseas talent, there have been a few exceptions over the years. In 2011-12, 14 Afghanistan players featured for Afghan Cheetahs in the Faysal T20 Cup. Yamin Ahmadzai, the Afghanistan fast bowler, played five first-class games in Pakistan in 2016-17. Zimbabwe allrounder Sikandar Raza played in the National T20 Cup that same season. “One of the things we are going to do with our first-class cricket is to encourage one or two overseas players to come and play,” Mani said in a podcast with Peter Oborne and Richard Heller on . “It is great for our players to be playing with the international players and that’s not going to happen overnight. We are working to take our first-class cricket to a complete different level and have it so competitive and so attractive for overseas players that they wish to be part of it.”Over the last few years, the PCB have made hosting matches in Pakistan a priority. In the last one year alone, they’ve hosted a PSL season at four venues and two Test sides – Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. An MCC team also toured the country for the first time in 47 years. “The big stumbling block was a travel advisory,” Mani explained of the challenges they faced earlier. “When you get schools and you get parents looking at that, they get nervous. Now that that’s been dealt with, it’s definitely something certainly that we’ve been we’ve been looking at seriously. Wasim Khan, our chief executive who was with Leicestershire county, has been already in discussion with a couple of counties to see whether they will come. I think people contact is what is so important. “The MCC has been absolutely brilliant, very supportive of cricket in Pakistan, We’re also very fortunate that we have in Pakistan a high commissioner,Christian Turner, who was Theresa May’s national security adviser. So he understands the dynamics of the country. He understands Pakistan. And he’s been very important, in fact, pivotal in getting the travel advisories to Pakistan changed. And that that has made a big difference.”Last year, Pakistan overhauled their domestic system and introduced a five-category grade-based system of monthly retainers, apart from the match fees for all 192 players. They also abolished departmental format and brought in just the six provincial teams to streamline the structure.Presently, there are over 700 staff who are directly employed or contracted by the PCB in different capacities. However, the domestic restructure has meant over 300 players are out of jobs. Mani felt the key was to decentralise power and multiply opportunities for every association,”As soon as the cricket associations are functional, a lot of these people would be delegated to those six cricket associations,” he said. “These are people like ground staff, curators, coaches, school trainers, people who go to school to give basic coaching. People like that are all on PCB payroll at the moment.”And I’m pushing them down into the cricket associations with the clear instructions. There’s a lot of talk about people losing jobs. I’ve worked out that with the six cricket associations. They’re playing cricket with 3000 clubs. We are going to create more jobs for the former players. It’ll take time.It has started to happen overnight, but in a structured way, you’d want to make sure that every city has coaches for their schools. The city associations themselves will have coaches, coaching staff and everything from training young kids on how to behave on anti-corruption issues and understanding what the game of cricket is about.”
O Corinthians contratou dois grandes reforços para o elenco: Renato Augusto e Giuliano, e confia em uma mudança de patamar no Campeonato Brasileiro.

Em entrevista coletiva na última sexta-feira, o zagueiro elogiou a dupla contratada com a qual já teve oportunidade de jogar ao lado em outras oportunidades, tanto no Timão quanto na Seleção Brasileira, mas fez questão de salientar que há etapas a serem cumpridas na montagem da equipe até conseguir melhorar as condições na tabela desta edição do Brasileirão.
-Com a chegada dos dois jogadores só vai elevar o nível do grupo. O Renato, eu cheguei junto com ele no Corinthians, em 2013, entre 2013 e 2015 jogamos juntos, fomos para China, jogamos contra. O Giuliano joguei com ele na Seleção e é outro jogador que dispensa comentários. Temos tudo para poder conquistar coisas maiores no Campeonato. Não é de uma hora para outra. Estamos em busca de uma sequência de vitórias para se encaixar e se destacar no campeonato. Com a chegada de Renato e de Giuliano, o que o professor Sylvinho escolher tem capacidade para jogar e melhorar a nossa situação.
Com longo tempo de casa e entrosado com algumas peças do elenco desde “outros carnavais”, Gil acredita que essa química e essa experiência vencedora do grupo irá ajudar na chegada e adaptação dos reforços, principalmente de Giuliano, já que Renato Augusto já é um velho conhecido de alguns do elenco.
-Aqui no Corinthians a gente tem essa liberdade para ajudar os jogadores que chegam, quem está subindo da base e basicamente como temos mais tempo de clube a gente tem essa liberdade de ajudar o pessoal, então o quanto antes o Renato, o Giuliano e qualquer reforço que chegar estar ajudando a gente vai agregar ao grupo. A gente sabe que no Corinthians se briga sempre para o título, vencer o campeonato que disputa e nesse ano de reformulação é importante a minha presença, do Fagner, Cássio, Jô, Gabriel para ajudar.
Enquanto os reforços não chegam, o foco é buscar o melhor desempenho possível dentro do trabalho de Sylvinho para buscar subir posições na tabela do Brasileirão. Para isso, será preciso conquistar uma sequência de vitórias.
-Vão chegar para nos ajudar, temos um grupo muito bom e todo jogador que chega de alto nível, chega para ajudar. Nos cobramos bastante para ter uma sequência de vitórias no Campeonato, recentemente ficamos seis, sete jogos, sem derrotas e isso é algo que nos incomoda, manter essa sequência de vitórias. Com essa semana de trabalho que estamos tendo, vamos conseguir colocar o que o professor Sylvinho tem em mente. Em um curto período, ele está tentando nos ajudar – concluiu o zagueiro.
Gil e seus companheiros estão se preparando para enfrentar o Cuiabá, na próxima segunda-feira, fora de casa, após uma semana cheia de trabalho no CT Joaquim Grava. Atualmente, o Timão ocupa a 12ª posição no Brasileiro.
It's been a tumultuous few years for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, so much so that N17 was starting to resemble a managerial merry-go-round.
In the years following Mauricio Pochettino's sacking, the Lilywhites welcomed José Mourinho, Antonio Conte, and Nuno Espírito Santo, and while there were some bright moments here and there, all three failed.
That said, while Nuno's tenure was the shortest, he did manage to sign a player who has gone on to be one of the most important for Ange Postecoglou this year, and as a result, his valuation has shot past club captain Son Heung-min's
Cristian Romero's Spurs career
The player in question is Argentinian centre-back Cristian Romero, who joined Nuno's Lilywhites side in the summer of 2021 for a fee in the region of £42m.
Tottenham defender Cristian Romero
Since moving to London from Serie A side Atalanta, the "monster" defender, as dubbed by journalist Charlie Eccleshare, has seen his reputation steadily rise alongside his popularity among the Spurs faithful for his non-nonsense, front-foot style of defending.
This approach to the game has sometimes backfired on the 26-year-old. In his 97 appearances for the North Londoners, he has also picked up 28 yellow cards, three-second yellows, and one red card, meaning he is sent off on average every 24 games, which isn't ideal.
Tottenham defender Cristian Romero.
However, when he's on the pitch and staying out of trouble, he's a brilliant addition to the team and arguably "the best defender in the world", at least according to his international teammate Lionel Messi, and considering the pair have won the World Cup and Copa América together, he probably knows a thing or two.
Not content with just thwarting goals, Romero, Atalanta's Player of the Year for the 2020/21 season, has also found his scoring boots this campaign. As it stands, he has netted five times in 33 appearances, including one against fierce rivals Arsenal.

In all, Spurs played a blinder in signing the "incredible" Romero in 2021, as described by journalist Alasdair Gold, and his soaring valuation is further proof of that.
Romero's valuation in 2024
According to the CIES Football Observatory, Romero is worth €60m, which converts to around £51m, or £9m more than he cost the club almost three years ago.

This new valuation also makes the World Cup winner the joint second most valuable defender at the club, alongside Pedro Porro and behind only Destiny Udogie, who is valued at €80m or £69m.
Moreover, the all-action centre-back is now worth more than his captain, Son, who the CIES price at just €30m, which is just £26m, or essentially half of Romero's value.
Now, this doesn't mean the South Korean is half the player or even half as important as the 26-year-old, as demonstrated by his 17 goals and nine assists this season, but it is indicative of his age.
At 31 years old, no matter how good a winger is, unless they're Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, their transfer value is going to start coming down.

That's because, as demonstrated by The Athletic, the majority of wide players peak in their mid-to-late twenties, and following that period, their output starts to come down.
Ultimately, Spurs have two genuinely excellent players in Romero and Son, and while it's sad to think about the end of the latter's career, the fact the former is now worth so much should encourage fans that their side has a bright future with him at the base of their defence.
