Man City: Journalist update on Jesus future

Journalist Dean Jones has provided an update on the future of Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus amid reported interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal.

What’s the word?

Speaking to GiveMeSport, the respected insider suggested that a transfer is not a certainty for the Brazilian this summer, despite the recent speculation linking him with a move to the Emirates Stadium.

The Athletic’s David Ornstein revealed last week that the Gunners are “exploring the possibility” of prising the 25-year-old from the Etihad Stadium in the upcoming transfer window, while football.london suggested that both the £45m-rated marksman and AS Roma’s Tammy Abraham are on the north Londoners’ striker shortlist.

However, Jones has now raised hopes that the former Palmeiras man may still be lining up for the reigning Premier League champions next term, as he revealed that the player may still have a “future” under Pep Guardiola.

He told GiveMeSport: “It’s true that dialogue is open, but nothing is going to progress quickly with Arsenal. There’s a feeling among people around the club that he has a future at the club – he’s only 25 and is often used in big games.”

Huge boost for Guardiola

The £91k-per-week star has at times become something of a forgotten figure amid all the star-studded attacking talent at Guardiola’s disposal, although the former Barcelona manager will surely be delighted that the striker could still be on City’s books next summer.

Doubts had been cast over the 54-cap international’s future owing to the persistent links between City and Borussia Dortmund’s prolific marksman Erling Haaland, although on recent evidence Jesus has shown he still has a part to play at the club, even if the towering Norwegian is signed this summer.

Almost as if he had been awoken by reports of a potential reunion with former City assistant Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, the 5 foot 9 hotshot has been in blistering form in recent games. He thumped in a brilliant four-goal haul in the 5-1 thrashing of Watford last weekend, following that up with another early strike in the thrilling 4-3 win over Real Madrid in midweek.

While his five goals across those two outings have stolen the headlines, team-mate Bernardo Silva insisted that the forward is much more than simply just a goalscorer, saying: “He is a great player and he deserves the best for the way he trains and plays for the team. With his talent, his attitude to helping the team is admirable. He is one of our most important players.”

Despite making just 17 Premier League starts this season, the Sao Paulo-born star has still chipped in with an impressive tally of seven goals and eight assists thus far, while his total record for the club now stands at 94 goals and 46 assists in 231 games in all competitions since his £27m arrival back in 2016.

A reported fee of around £35m could see him depart after six hugely successful years for the Cityzens, but Jesus – who has been dubbed a “superstar” by BT Sport pundit Steve McManaman – still appears to have a role to play at his current home, which would surely be music to Guardiola’s ears given how well the 25-year-old has been performing.

England’s coach, Andy Flower, was forced to miss the second day of the opening Ashes Test at the Gabba after undergoing an operation to remove a cancerous growth, or melanoma, in his right cheek.According to an ECB spokesman, Flower, 42, noticed the growth earlier this week during the final days of England’s build-up for the series, and opted to undergo a precautionary operation at a local Brisbane hospital. He is expected to rejoin the squad before the end of the Test.”As far as he is concerned, it is business as usual,” said the spokesman. “He was not at the game today, because he had a melanoma taken out – which was successful. At this stage, he is expected to be fine.”He went off for a routine check, and they said they felt it prudent to take it out,” said the spokesman. “He may well be back on deck tomorrow, or most definitely the following day.”The early removal of such growths is usually almost 100% effective to combating the disease, and the prevention of skin cancer is an issue that is widely promoted in Australia.In his absence, the fielding coach Richard Halsall has been put in temporary charge of the squad.

Flamengo estuda estender vínculo de Julio Cesar até o meio da temporada

MatériaMais Notícias

Revelado no clube e ídolo rubro-negro, o goleiro Julio Cesar pode prorrogar o seu vínculo – que é de três meses – com o Flamengo até o final de julho. A informação foi dada pelo Extra e confirmada pelo LANCE!. Assim sendo, o clube teria um tempo hábil maior para programar uma despedida para o arqueiro de 38 anos, já que seu vínculo se encerraria ao término do Campeonato Carioca.

Além do espelho para os goleiros vindos da base, Julio Cesar agrega experiência e “sangue” rubro-negro ao vestiário, o que é visto como algo benéfico pelo departamento de futebol do clube. Contudo, tudo dependerá também da vontade do ex-seleção brasileira em seguir maior tempo no clube.

Julio Cesar disputou apenas um jogo neste seu retorno ao Flamengo:contra o Boavista, em Volta Redonda, pelo Campeonato Carioca. Na ocasião, saiu sem ser vazado e deu um discurso emocionado no vestiário antes da partida. Além dele, o elenco atual rubro-negro conta com o titular Diego Alves, além de César, Thiago e Gabriel Batista, sendo os três últimos revelados no clube.

Spurs: Paratici in talks for McKennie

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in a deal to bring Weston McKennie to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer transfer window.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by Italian media outlet Calciomercato (via Sport Witness), who claim Tottenham are one of a number of clubs who have requested to sign the 23-year-old this summer, with Antonio Conte known to be a big fan of the central midfielder.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-spurs-news-transfer-rumours-gossip-and-much-more” title= “Read the latest Spurs news!”]

Indeed, Gazzetta dello Sport previously reported that the USA international is a player the 52-year-old has ordered Fabio Paratici to capture this summer, while Calciomercato suggest that, with Juventus planning something of an overhaul this summer, the Serie A side could be willing to listen to offers for the former FC Schalke 04 starlet.

He’d be a “leader” for Conte

With McKennie being a midfielder who is incredibly versatile, boasts a tireless work rate and is extremely effective in the final third, it is easy to see why Conte would be keen on a deal to bring the 23-year-old to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.

Indeed, FBref rank the £58m-rated dynamo in the top 9% of midfielders in Europe’s big five leagues for non-penalty xG per 90 minutes, as well as the top 16% for shots, the top 19% for non-penalty xG + xA, the top 16% for non-penalty goals, the top 3% for touches in the opposition penalty area and the top 3% for progressive passes received over the last 365 days.

Furthermore, the £51k-per-week talent also ranks in the top 5% of attacking midfielders in Europe’s big five leagues for interceptions per 90, in addition to the top 3% for clearances, the top 8% for aerials won, the top 7% for blocks, the top 26% for tackles and the top 40% for pressures over the last year.

As such, it is clear for all to see just how well suited the player who David Wagner dubbed a “leader” would be for Conte’s tactical setup in north London, and, with it being reported that the 23-year-old could be available for a figure of around £35m this summer, a deal would certainly not break the bank for Paratici and Spurs.

Hopefuls take on the usual suspects

Cricinfo previews the 2010-11 Ranji quarter-finals

ESPNcricinfo staff23-Dec-2010

The 2010-11 Ranji Trophy season enters the knockouts phase. Who will go through to semi-finals?•ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Tamil Nadu v Haryana at Rohtak This could be a tricky encounter. If you haven’t followed this season, Tamil Nadu, with its better history in Ranji Trophy, might seem to be overwhelming favourites but it is likely to be a well-fought game. For starters, it’s a home game for Haryana and the pitch will be seamer-friendly. Tamil Nadu have not played on such tracks this season while Haryana have spent their entire time on similar pitches. L Balaji is the only Tamil Nadu seamer who has taken ten wickets and they have depended on the spin twins R Ashwin and Aushik Srinivas. “The ball will move around and our seamers, led by Joginder Singh, are in form,” Ashwini Kumar, the Haryana coach, said. “It should be a very interesting game. Both teams have a few big players; they have been in couple of finals this decade while we have re-entered Super League last year but the conditions and our present form gives us confidence.” One of the chief concerns for Tamil Nadu is the form of their captain Dinesh Karthik who has made only 115 runs from seven games. Much will depend on how the in-form batsmen S Badrinath (734 runs) and Abhinav Mukund (539) perform. Railways v Baroda at VadodaraAfter five rounds, if you would have asked Baroda coach Mukesh Narula who his quarter-final opponents would be, Railways would have been the last name on his mind. Yet, now they face the Sanjay Bangar-led side that has orchestrated the great escape, winning its last two games outright to storm into the knockouts from sixth position in Group A. The momentum is certainly with the visitors, but a Baroda team that has won three games by an innings this season will prove to be strong opponents on home turf. While former India allrounder JP Yadav has had a fairytale comeback from the ICL, leading the wicket charts with 30 victims, 20-year old Baroda left-arm spinner Bhargav Bhatt is only one wicket behind Yadav. Ambati Rayudu and veteran Connor Williams have led the batting effort for Baroda, while Railways have been bolstered by the ever-present Bangar. The presence of Yusuf Pathan and Munaf Patel gives Baroda the upper hand.Yadav has bowled marathon spells with his seamers, but Narula reckoned it would be tough bowling long and tight spells on a ground where the outfield is quick, and batsmen can take you for runs. Abhay Sharma, the Railways coach, said the wicket looked hard, but there was not much grass on it. “It will definitely move around in the first session,” Abhay said. Railways certainly won’t be going in with three spinners as they did for their previous game against Bengal. Murali Kartik had a slight niggle, but would be playing, Abhay said. “It should be a pretty even match, but we have the home advantage,” Narula said. Karnataka v Madhya Pradesh at Indore It’s another game where the seamers are expected to play a big role. Bundela, Madhya Pradesh’s captain, believes that Karnataka will start as favourites but it won’t be a one-sided encounter. It could get particularly interesting if MP win the toss and bowl first. Karnataka’s top order has been a bit brittle against the moving ball this season and more often than not, the lower order have bailed them out in the first innings. “Our top order is a concern but they were up against seaming conditions,” Sanath Kumar, Karnataka’s coach said. “It’s not as if they are in bad form; they scored heavily in the second innings of the last game.” Karnataka has an incisive seam attack in Vinay Kumar, Abhimanyu Mithun, and S Aravind and Sunil Joshi’s hunger for wickets hasn’t satiated yet. You get the feeling that Karnataka has enough arsenal to see this one through. Mumbai v Rajasthan at Jaipur On paper it should be a no contest. Mumbai have won the Ranji Trophy 39 times while Rajasthan, who have had a memorable run this year, were placed at the bottom of the Plate league last season. Mumbai have a well-balanced team: They have in-form batsmen in Wasim Jaffer, Rohit Sharma, and Ajinkya Rahane and a seasoned bowling attack in Ramesh Powar, Ajit Agarkar, and Dhawal Kulkarni. Iqbal Abdulla, the young left-arm spinner, has grabbed 25 wickets and scored 376 runs. Rajasthan have to play out of their skins to trouble Mumbai. “You don’t even want to entertain the thought of losing,” Aakash Chopra, who hit a triple hundred in the last game to propel Rajasthan into the knockouts, said. Rajasthan’s batting is pretty solid: apart from the three experienced professionals, Hrishikesh Kanitkar, Rashmi Parida, and Chopra, they have Vineet Saxena, Robin Bist and Vaibhav Deshpande. The bowling too has impressed this season. “Deepak Chahar (30 wickets) and Pankaj Singh (33) have taken more wickets than any other bowler in the country, even including the Super League, “says Chopra. There is a sprinkling of grass on the pitch and Chopra reckons there will be some help to the seamers initially.

إبراهيموفيتش يكشف عن منتخبه المفضل في كأس العالم قطر 2022

كشف زلاتان إبراهيموفيتش عن منتخبه المفضل في بطولة كأس العالم قطر 2022، بعد فشل تأهل السويد للمونديال الذي بدأ في 20 نوفمبر الماضي ومستمر حتى 18 ديسمبر الجاري.

إبراهيموفيتش الذي لم يشارك في كأس العالم منذ 2006، يرفض تشجيع منتخبات زملائه في ميلان، من أجل ليونيل ميسي.

وفي تصريح مقتضب نقلته صحيفة “كالشيو ميركاتو” الإيطالية، قال قائد ميلان: “آمل أن يفوز منتخب الأرجنتين ببطولة كأس العالم، من أجل ليونيل ميسي”.

ويتواجد النجم السويدي في قطر حاليًا لحضور المونديال كمشجع، والذي يشارك فيه ثنائي ميلان أوليفيه جيرو وتيو هيرنانديز مع المنتخب الفرنسي.

صاحب الـ41 عامًا يتعافى من إصابة في الركبة، وعاد للتدريبات بدون الكرة في ميلانيلو، ومن المفترض أن يعود في الفترة من يناير لفبراير 2023.

زلاتان لديه علاقة قوية بـ ليونيل ميسي، رغم أن الثنائي أمضيا عامًا واحدًا فقط في برشلونة، خلال موسم 2009/2010، قبل رحيل السويدي بسبب مشاكل مع بيب جوارديولا.

O América-MG está de olho no Sport, primeiro adversário do Campeonato Brasileiro. O Coelho entra em campo no próximo domingo, às 11h, no Independência. Por conta do horário da partida, a equipe alviverde vai treinar todos os dias desta semana na parte da manhã, para que os atletas se ambientem para o confronto.

A atividade desta segunda-feira contou com a participação do volante Wesley. O atleta tinha sido poupado no treino do último sábado.Wesley teve uma passagem pelo time pernambucano no ano passado. O jogador atuou em nove partidas pelo Leão. Além dele, o meia Marquinhos já fez parte do elenco rubro-negro e está à disposição do técnico Enderson Moreira para o duelo. Omeia disputou 20 partidas no Sport e marcou um gol. Os dois jogadores não tiveram o vínculo renovado na equipe pernambucana e podem ajudar o Coelho na estreia do Brasileirão.

O primeiro trimestre de 2018 não foi de bons resultados para o Sport. O time não chegou às finais do Pernambucano e foi eliminado pelo modesto Ferroviário-CE na segunda fase da Copa do Brasil.

O América apresentará oficialmente o atacante Ademir logo após o treino desta terça-feira. O jogador, que foi um dos destaques do Campeonato Mineiro deste ano, com a camisa do Patrocinense, já vem treinando normalmente com o plantel americano desde a semana passada.

الاتحاد النيجيري: يمكننا تخطي ما تفعله المغرب في كأس العالم بشرط

يرى محمد السانوسي الأمين العام للاتحاد النيجيري لكرة القدم، أن منتخب بلده يمكنه أن يتخطى إنجاز المغرب بالوصول إلى نصف نهائي كأس العالم قطر 2022.

منتخب نيجيريا أقصى ما قدمه في تاريخ كأس العالم كان الوصول إلى دور الـ16، وفشل النسور الخضراء في التأهل إلى نسخة قطر الحالية، بعد الخسارة أمام غانا في المرحلة النهائية من التصفيات.

محمد السانوسي، الأمين العام للاتحاد النيجيري، قال في تصريحات نقلتها صحيفة “باريلا” النيجيرية: “لقد قدم المنتخب المغربي أداء رائعا وتاريخيا في كأس العالم قطر 2022”.

وأضاف: “ما قدمه المنتخب المغربي فخر لإفريقيا، ولكن يمكن لـ نيجيريا أن تقوم بنفس الشيء، بل وأفضل من ذلك إذا كان لدينا أجواء سلمية”.

واختتم: “لدينا القدرة على ذلك، ولكن يجب قبل أي شيء أن يعمل جميع أصحاب المصلحة نحو هدف مشترك نبيل، لكن هذا لا يحدث حاليًا في نيجيريا”.

منتخب المغرب يواجه فرنسا غدًا في نصف نهائي كأس العالم قطر 2022، في إنجاز هو الأول في تاريخ إفريقيا أن يصل منتخبًا من القارة السمراء إلى ذلك الدور.
