تحدث أندريه أونانا، حارس مرمى فريق مانشستر يونايتد، عما حدث في مباراة الأمس ضد ولفرهامبتون في بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

واستضاف ملعب “الأولد ترافورد” مباراة الفريقين في إطار منافسات الجولة الأولى من الدوري الإنجليزي، حيث فاز مانشستر يونايتد بهدف دون رد.

وكاد أونانا أن يكلف فريقه ضربة جزاء في الوقت القاتل، بعدما تدخل بعنف ضد مهاجم ولفرهامبتون، ولكن الحكم رفض احتساب أي شسيء وسط اعتراض من الضيوف.

وقال أونانا في تصريحات نشرها الموقع الرسمي للنادي: “لا، لم أشعر بالقلق خلال انتظار القرار من قِبل الحكم، لقد رأيت في نهاية اليوم بأنني اتخذت قراري، وكان صحيحًا”.

وأضاف: “في بعض الأحيان يكون القرار صحيحًا أو لا، في نهاية اليوم تتعلم من الأخطاء، أنا أثق في الحكام، ما يفعلونه ليس بالأمر السهل، خاصة الآن مع تقنية الفيديو”.

وواصل: “كنت هادئًا، كنت أعلم أنها لم تكن ضربة جزاء، كان الأمر مجرد تداخل، لذلك كنت هادئًا، أنا سعيد جدًا بذلك الفوز”.

وأكد: “أظهر الفريق الشخصية في النهاية، أظهرنا أننا ناد جيد، لدينا لاعبون جيدون ونحن معتادون على الأداء على هذا المستوى، سوف نظهر الكثير من الشخصية لأنه ليس بالأمر السهل”.

واختتم: “أنا سعيد بهذا الفوز وبالشباك النظيفة، كان فوزًا عظيمًا وكذلك الشباك النظيفة هي ما نريده، ولكن في نهاية المطاف فإن أهم شيء هو النصر”.

O CRB apresentou mais um reforço para a temporada na tarde da última quinta-feira em seu Centro de Treinamento, o atacante Willie. Antes de chegar ao clube de Maceió, ele teve uma breve passagem pelo Ceará no início de 2019 onde, com apenas três partidas feitas, não agradou a comissão na época capitaneada por Lisca e perdeu espaço no plantel.

Willie chegou, inclusive, a comentar sobre a situação de não ter conseguido desenvolver no clube cearense o mesmo futebol que o fez virar destaque no Vitória em 2012 e 2014 (esteve no Vasco em 2013).

O atacante usou a velocidade de dentro dos gramados para já emendar também sobre a possibilidade de, ao assinar com o CRB, aproveitar a boa estrutura do Regatiano e a relação positiva que ele tem com o treinador Marcelo Chamusca.

– Tive essa volta ao Brasil, já era esperada por mim. Houve a situação para eu ir ao Ceará, infelizmente eu não tive muitas oportunidades. Acabei vindo para cá, estou bastante motivado, bastante alegre. Tudo se deu através do meu agente, ele conversou comigo que tinha uma proposta do CRB, do professor Chamusca. Foi muito rápido a negociação, eu já conhecia o professor e a estrutura do clube – esclareceu o atacante de 25 anos de idade.

Para que Willie esteja a disposição o mais rápido possível para estrear no Alvirrubro alagoano, seu nome ainda precisa aparecer no Boletim Informativo Diário (BID) da CBF, algo que a diretoria aguarda ser possível nessa sexta-feira (3).

Com isso, não estaria descartada a sua presença em campo quando o CRB terá pela frente outro paranaense na competição: o Paraná, dessa vez no Sul do país, nesse sábado (4) às 19h15 (horário de Brasília).

Vinay Kumar said Karnataka put as many as seven fielders in the deep as they wanted to reduce the number of runs they conceded

The Report by Karthik Krishnaswamy in Hyderabad01-Feb-2014

At times during the second session on the fourth day, it seemed as if Maharashtra, and not Karnataka, were the team with the 210-run first-innings lead. Someone would bowl – it didn’t matter who it was, specialist or part-timer – and the batsman – it didn’t matter if it was Kedar Jadhav or Ankit Bawne – would stroll down the pitch and work the ball either side of the pitch for a walked single to a deep fielder. There were, at times, as many as seven deep fielders to choose from.”Hopefully you might have watched the game,” said Vinay Kumar, Karnataka’s captain, when asked about his team’s tactics. “It’s a four-day game. The last four days it was very difficult for batsmen to get runs. That’s why, wherever they could get boundaries, we put the fielders back so that they could get as less runs as possible.”Karnataka didn’t quite succeed in restricting Maharashtra, who scored 272 runs in 68 overs, at exactly four runs an over. On the third day, Karnataka scored 244 in 90 overs.”What are you trying to say?” Vinay said, when these numbers were put in front of him. “I know what you said but you want to say we play badly or they played well? They didn’t have anything to lose. They just went and, if we had been in their position we would have thrown our bat from ball one, right? That’s what they did and we’re very happy that we got six wickets.”Maharashtra didn’t exactly throw their bats at the ball. Vijay Zol did, initially, and only when the ball was in the slot, when Karnataka’s seamers started with conventional fields. But each time a Maharashtra batsman played an aggressive shot, a fielder left the slip cordon, and often dropped back to the boundary. Pretty soon, especially when Jadhav and Bawne were together at the crease, singles were there for the taking, and Maharashtra’s batsmen kept taking them.Even so, Maharashtra were too far behind in the match to really turn things around. And they gave away four wickets in the post-tea session, two of them to full-tosses. Those two full-tosses gave Vinay his 299th and 300th first-class wickets. By the end of the day, with Maharashtra six down and only 62 ahead, it looked like Karnataka’s tactics had worked.”We want to give as less runs as possible,” Vinay said, when asked how his team would approach the final day. “Because tomorrow morning they need to face more overs to get those 150 or 200 runs. If we bowl 15-20 overs tomorrow morning and restrict their lead to 200 runs then they’ll get less overs and they’ll try really hard to get us. In this wicket if you try too much it’s very easy for batsman to get runs. That was the thought behind that.”

اكتفى فريق برشلونة بتعادل مخيب مع خصمه فريق خيتافي، في مباراتهما اليوم الأحد، ببطولة الدوري الإسباني.

وتلاقى الفريقان في إطار منافسات الجولة الأولى من الليجا، على ملعب “كولسيوم ألفونسو بيريز”، حيث تعادلا سلبيًا. ملخص مباراة برشلونة وخيتافي

ويسعى برشلونة إلى الدفاع عن لقب الليجا الذي حصل عليه الموسم الماضي، 2022/23.

وكاد الوافد الجديد إيلكاي جوندوجان أن يسجل الهدف الأول، في الدقيقة الثانية من عمر الشوط الأول، بعد تسديدة وصلت سهلت إلى حارس الخصم.

وحصل ميتروفيتش، لاعب خيتافي، على أول بطاقة صفراء في اللقاء بعد تدخله على لاعب البرسا رافينها في الدقيقة 14.

واقترب رافينها من تسجيل الهدف الأول لصالح برشلونة، في الدقيقة 15، بعد تنفيذه لركلة حرة ولكن الحارس نجح في التصدي لها.

وحصل برشلونة على فرصة تسجيل هدف من جديد من خلال روميو، الذي سدد بعد مراوغة دفاع خيتافي، ولكن الكرة مرت بجوار المرمى.

واضطر برشلونة إلى اللعب بـ10 لاعبين فقط، منذ الدقيقة 42، بعد حصول رافينها على بطاقة حمراء نتيجة اعتدائه بالمرفق على لاعب الخصم دون كرة، جاستون ألفاريز.

وشارك الشاب المغربي عبد الصمد الزلزولي كبديل، مع بداية الشوط الثاني، بعد خروج كريستنسن بقرار من المدرب تشافي هيرنانديز.

وكاد الزلزولي أن يسجل الهدف الأول، في الدقيقة 52، بعد تمريرة رائعة من بيدري، ولكن المغربي سددها أعلى من المرمى.

وطُرد لاعب خيتافي، خايمي ماتا، في الدقيقة 57 بعد حصوله على بطاقة صفراء ثانية نتيجة تدخله ضد رونالد أروخو لاعب البرسا.

وحصل مدرب برشلونة، تشافي، على بطاقة حمراء في الدقيقة 70 نتيجة اعتراضه الشديد على عدم احتساب خطأ لصالح الزلزولي.

وطالب برشلونة بالحصول على ضربة جزاء، في الدقيقة التاسعة من الوقت المحتسب بدلًا من الضائع، ولكن تقنية الفيديو تقرر عدم وجود شئ نتيجة لمسة يد على جافي، في بداية الهجمة قبل التدخل على أروخو.

ورغم استمرار اللقاء حتى الدقيقة الخامسة عشر بعد انتهاء الوقت الأصلي من الشوط الثاني، إلا أن التعادل السلبي ظل المسيطر.

الجدير بالذكر أن المباراة شهدت 8 بطاقات صفراء، وكان لـ خيتافي نصيب الأسد حيث حصل الفريق على 6، مقابل بطاقتين لـ برشلونة، بينما حصل كل فريق على بطاقة حمراء.

India gave themselves a chance to win the first Test in Auckland by dismissing New Zealand for 105 in the second innings after they had conceded a 301-run lead in the first

The Report by Devashish Fuloria07-Feb-2014
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details0:00

Martin Crowe: NZ should have enforced follow-on

MS Dhoni spoke to his team-mates in a huddle before India took the field 35 minutes before lunch. They had lost their last six wickets for 72 runs on the third morning and handed New Zealand a 301-run lead in the first innings. A deficit of such magnitude is hard to overcome. Whatever was said, India not only found the inspiration to produce a dramatically improved bowling effort and reduce New Zealand to 15 for 4 by lunch, they also sustained their intensity for the rest of the day to dismiss the hosts for 105 and then produce a vastly superior batting effort in the chase.India need another 320 runs to win the Test with nine wickets in hand. With two days remaining, time is not an issue, but the task ahead is gargantuan. To win, India would have to better their highest chase by one run. They will have to pull off the third highest successful chase in Tests. No team has chased more than 348 to win in New Zealand, but India have already knocked 87 off their target.New Zealand will wonder how they allowed India even a sniff at a remotely achieveable target after the third day had begun so beautifully for them. On a humid morning after overnight rain had juiced up the pitch, their fast bowlers ripped through India. Brendon McCullum did not enforce the follow-on, though, and New Zealand’s day was about to take a ghastly turn.Mohammed Shami exacerbated the hosts’ recent first-wicket problems. Hamish Rutherford was lbw in the first over, and in the third Peter Fulton drove a full ball straight to Ravindra Jadeja at cover. Kane Williamson had not fallen for less than 50 on India’s tour so far, but today Jadeja cut him short on 3 with an acrobatic catch – diving full length to his right – at short midwicket.Brendon McCullum was dropped by M Vijay at first slip in the last over before lunch, but three balls later Jadeja, electric and seemingly everywhere in the field, ensured the mistake did not cost India. His throw from square leg caught McCullum short on the second run and Ishant Sharma had the presence of mind to rush in and collect on the half-volley. New Zealand went to lunch shell-shocked.A different India attack was on show in the second innings•Getty Images

Their prospects of revival diminished early in the second session when Shami, bowling from round the wicket, skidded a quick delivery into Corey Anderson and hit the top of leg stump. It was Shami’s third wicket of the day in a 10-over spell spread either side of lunch.There was no let-up for New Zealand because Ishant started with three maidens in a row and stuck to a good length. Luckily for Ross Taylor and BJ Watling, a number of edges fell short of the cordon. They added 38 runs at slow pace with Taylor doing the bulk of the scoring. But Zaheer Khan, bowling with increased intensity, provided the breakthrough, picking up the wicket of Taylor.At 80 for 9, New Zealand were in danger of folding for their lowest total against India but a 25-run stand for the last wicket – the second best of the innings – took them past 100. They were eventually dismissed in the 42nd over, for 105, with the Indian quicks taking eight wickets for 88.New Zealand were still in control of the Test, though, due to the performance of their pace attack. Trent Boult and Tim Southee had warmed up with maiden overs and struck early in the day. Ajinkya Rahane pushed at an outswinger in Southee’s third over to be caught at first slip, and six balls later Rohit Sharma had a loose poke at a Boult inswinger that splayed the stumps off the inside edge. The batsmen on whom India had pinned their hopes were removed on the same score after an 87-run stand.India, trailing by 365, were down to their last recognised batting pair of MS Dhoni and Jadeja. They didn’t have a comfortable stay against the moving ball and were repeatedly beaten. In 13 overs from Boult and Southee, India could manage only 28 for 2.Once Southee and Boult finished their spells, Neil Wagner maintained the same intensity and picked up three of the last four wickets. The tail could only add 35 runs after Dhoni’s dismissal and India were bowled out for 202, 45 minutes before lunch.New Zealand’s fast bowlers did not get much rest, though, because they were dismissed in such a hurry that India began their chase 50 minutes after tea. Shikhar Dhawan, who has endured a torrid time in Tests since his debut, had easier batting conditions but was lucky to survive an early chance. In the second over, he played an aerial drive that was momentarily caught by a diving McCullum at cover before the ball popped out as the fielder’s elbow hit the ground.India lost Vijay, caught behind down the leg side, but Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara played out the day. Dhawan was unbeaten on 49, his highest score outside India, and the result of this Test will hinge on how he and the rest of India’s top order cope with early morning conditions on the fourth day.

Diante do time Xeneize, Marco Ruben viveu uma noite mágica na Arena da Baixada e marcou três gols. Na La Bombonera, o Furacão foi superado pelo rival por 2 a 1, mas o único gol saiu através do matador.

Contra o River Plate o jogo foi mais equilibrado na Arena da Baixada. Porém, isso não foi o suficiente para o impedir de marcar. Na única que teve, o camisa 9 estufou as redes e definiu a vitória do Furacão.

South Africa like Hashim Amla at the top of the order because of the solidity he can give, which in turn allows the big-hitters down the order to play with abandon during the end overs

Firdose Moonda 24-Mar-20142:36

Crowe: Duminy excellent under pressure

So this is how South Africa want their T20 line-up to work. Start slowly, build calmly and then have a full go at the end, like they did today against New Zealand.That is the reason they insist on keeping Hashim Amla, who is too often labeled ‘not a T20 player,’ at the top of the order, and why they do not want to promote AB de Villiers into it. They see Amla as having the right measure of conservatism and class to kick things off and de Villiers, along with David Miler and Albie Morkel, as having the creativity to close things off.When it works, even when not exactly according to plan, it results in totals like today which South Africa will back themselves to defend. Despite the squeaky-bum ending, the score would have left most teams comfortable and was a nod to what South Africa are aiming for with the combinations they have in operation now.South Africa have divided the innings up into segments, starting with the powerplay. Faf Du Plessis said in Chittagong they’ve decided “45 seems to be the par score so I wanted to get close to that and not more than two wickets down.” South Africa were 42 for 3 in the first six overs, a little short and an extra man down but they were there and thereabouts, especially because the man they want to survive the opening exchanges, Amla, was still there.”Hashim’s role is to bat with someone. If someone else on the other side keeps scoring boundaries, Hashim can be the structure and the solidness through the batting line-up,” du Plessis explained. “If we look at our top five, it’s made up of guys who, apart from Hashim, naturally play aggressively so he fits into that game plan. It’s his role to manoeuvre the rest of the innings.”Hashim Amla received the backing of his captain Faf du Plessis despite his slowish strike-rate•Getty Images

Amla is not required to go at a strike rate of much more than 100, which is where he hovered throughout his innings today. He is not required to take risks either which is what has earned him so much criticism from those feel he is not fit for this format. It’s worth remembering Amla occupied the top spot on the ODI batting rankings not long ago and du Plessis is confident Amla can change tack if he needs to. “If there is a day where those guys don’t score runs then Hashim knows that he has to play a little bit quicker.”Today was not that day because JP Duminy was on the other end, timing the ball and finding the boundary. All Amla had to do was “stay with JP for a period of time to make sure that our hitters at the back didn’t come in when there were too many balls left.” In other words, Amla has to keep things going for as long as possible in the second-third of the innings because only after that, should the rest be needed.South Africa do not subscribe to the theory that the most destructive hitters need to face the most balls. They don’t want de Villiers, Miller and Morkel batting when the majority of overs are still to be bowled. Perhaps that is because, as Miller and Morkel showed, they are only up for a quick boom-boom before the bust. Perhaps they only do that because they don’t have any time to settle but the chicken-egg debate is not one South Africa are aiming to solve.They’ve decided what comes first and it’s not the men they have labeled finishers. “We need to make sure we have Miller and Morkel coming in towards the end of the innings not when they have to still worry about rotating the strike but where they can just play their natural game,” du Plessis said.The big-hitters don’t always come off but they have the best chance to if Amla and then Duminy allow them the freedom to, as they did today “JP controlled the innings beautifully. He took risks when it was needed and made sure the strike was rotated,” du Plessis said. “As a blueprint of a T20 innings, that’s one of the better ones you will see.”It was textbook because Duminy was circumspect to start and upped his tempo later without getting carried away. “In a perfect world, you always want that freedom to express yourself but with freedom comes a little bit of responsibility,” Duminy said. “We are finding the right mix. If we can perfect that, we stand a good chance of producing results in these kinds of tournaments.”Duminy has found the balance and it resulted in two top-scores for the team in two matches. More importantly for him, it gave South Africa’s bowlers something to work with, which is what the batsmen are there for, after all. “I’m glad that it gave us a chance to defend because at one stage we didn’t think we’d get to 170,” Duminy said. “I’m pretty happy with the innings but if Dale and the rest of the bowlers didn’t produce something it wouldn’t have meant anything.” That it did will give South Africa confidence what they are doing with their batting line-up could work.
