With the series wrapped up, Nathan Hauritz and Michael Hussey have been rested for the final match against West Indies at the MCG in Friday. Steven Smith, the rookie legspinning allrounder, has won a national call after a promising Twenty20 debut against Pakistan recently.”The panel has decided to give Mike Hussey and Nathan Hauritz the final match of series off in order to prepare for the upcoming tour of New Zealand,” the chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch said. “Both Mike and Nathan have been significant contributors to the success of the team this summer and managing their workloads now will ensure they are well-prepared for what lies ahead.”It’s been an exciting season already for Steven Smith and he thoroughly deserves this opportunity in Australia’s one-day international squad.”Smith has made a name for himself in Twenty20 cricket having helped New South Wales win the inaugural Champions League title in India last October. He was also New South Wales’ leading wicket-taker during the 2009-10 Big Bash tournament with seven at 10.28.Hussey and Hauritz have featured in all of Australia’s engagements during a busy and unbeaten summer. Hussey has been Australia’s strongest middle-order player in one-dayers this season while Hauritz has assumed the mantle of first-choice spinner in all formats. The pair has been given a much-needed chance to rest up ahead of the trip to New Zealand. Brad Haddin will also return to the side, replacing the Tasmanian Tim Paine.Australia squad Ricky Ponting (capt), Michael Clarke, Shaun Marsh, Brad Haddin (wk), Cameron White, Adam Voges, James Hopes, Mitchell Johnson, Ryan Harris, Steven Smith, Clint McKay, Doug Bollinger.

Flocking to Twitter, many Southampton fans have shared their takes as a major transfer claim comes to light involving former star Gareth Bale.

Serbian-born businessman Dragan Solak recently completed a £100 million takeover of the club in what kickstarts a brand new era at St Mary’s Stadium (Sky Sports).

The cable television tycoon’s purchase of a majority stake in Southampton brings an end to the club’s long search for a new owner with former chairman Gao Jisheng now relinquishing control of the Saints.

CEO Martin Semmens remains in his role managing the club as Southampton’s transfer chief and new owner Solak has reportedly set one eye on the January transfer window.

According to El Nacional, making a major claim on what Southampton could now do under their new ownership, Semmens and Solak have identified their ‘first’ transfer goal as they set their sights on Real Madrid winger Bale.

The Wales international, according to their sources, is attracting interest from the south coast side and it is a transfer that has the ‘approval’ of Galactios president Florentino Perez.

As well as this, it is believed that Solak has ‘already begun negotiations’ with Bale’s agent, Jonathan Barnett, and Real’s board of directors over re-signing him at Southampton.

Southampton fans erupt…

Taking to Twitter, given the nature of this transfer claim, it’s safe to say there has been no shortage of reaction from Saints fans.

While some are excited over the prospect of a Bale return, especially considering his pedigree at the top level and previously good years with Southampton, others believe this move could be too far out of the club’s reach.

His age (32) and possible salary demands arguably come as a stumbling block to this move so it’s not hard to see why some fans don’t dare to dream.

Aos 17 anos, Brenner deve ter neste domingo, contra o Coritiba, no Paraná, sua primeira chance como titular no time principal do São Paulo. Mas estar livre do rebaixamento no Campeonato Brasileiro e, principalmente, o alto número de desfalques farão com que Dorival Júnior leve outros garotos das categorias de base para Curitiba.

O técnico não poderá contar com Petros, suspenso por ter recebido três cartões amarelos, e dificilmente terá Hernanes, Pratto e Lucas Fernandes, que não participaram de atividades técnicas nesta semana por conta de dores musculares. Para completar, Jonatan Gomez trata de tendinite no joelho esquerdo, Maicosuel sofreu entorse no joelho direito e Marcinho já ficou fora da última rodada por dor na coxa esquerda.

Entre os titulares, além de Brenner na vaga de Pratto, Araruna e Shaylon devem entrar no meio-campo, nos lugares de Petros e Hernanes. Os três foram formados em Cotia. E Cueva retornará ao time, após ficar fora da última partida porque se reapresentou da seleção com atraso. Mas é no banco que devem aparecer ainda mais novidades.

O volante Igor Liziero, por exemplo, de 19 anos, treinou com os profissionais nesta semana e está de sobreaviso para ser relacionado – a lista será divulgada após a atividade deste sábado.Os meio-campistas Guilherme Bissoli, de 19 anos,e Gabriel Sara, de 18, também trabalharam com o time principal nos últimos dias e têm esperança.

Os três têm chances de ficar no banco de reservas ao lado de outro jovem que vem trabalhando com mais frequência no CT da Barra Funda: Paulo Bóia, atacante de 19 anos, já presente entre os suplentes em rodadas anteriores, como no 0 a 0 diante do Botafogo, no último domingo, no Pacaembu.

Na manhã deste sábado, novamente sem a imprensa, o Tricolor encerra os trabalhos para enfrentar o Coritiba, às 17h de domingo, no Paraná. O elenco viaja logo depois do treino. Com 46 pontos, o São Paulo já está livre do rebaixamento e ocupa o 13º lugar do Brasileiro. Precisa vencer os dois próximos jogos e torcer para uma combinação de resultados para ir à Libertadores – está a seis pontos da faixa da tabela que dá vaga na competição

نجح فريق الكرة الأول بنادي الزمالك في تحقيق الفوز على نظيره فلامبو دي سنتر البوروندي، بهدف نظيف.

المباراة أقيمت على ملعب استاد القاهرة الدولي في خضم منافسات جولة الذهاب لدور الـ32 ببطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

وسجل هدف اللقاء الوحيد، حسام عبد المجيد، برأسية متقنة في الدقيقة 42 من عمر المباراة. موعد مباراة الزمالك وفلامبو البوروندي في إياب دور الـ32 من دوري أبطال إفريقيا

يواجه الزمالك نظيره فلامبو يوم الجمعة الموافق الرابع عشر من أغسطس، في تمام السابعة مساءً بتوقيت مصر، والثامنة بتوقيت السعودية.

يذكر، أن مباراة الإياب ستقام أيضًا على ملعب استاد القاهرة الدولي، وذلك بعد اتفاق مسؤولي القلعة البيضاء مع نظرائهم بنادي فلامبو، على إقامة المباراتين في مصر.

أوضح أسطورة ليفربول جون بارنز سبب عدم إمكانية إلقاء اللوم فيما يتعلق مشاكل النادي الحالية على ترينت ألكسندر أرنولد، ولديه بعض النصائح للنجم محمد صلاح.

استمرت البداية السيئة لفريق الريدز للموسم يوم الأحد عندما خسروا 3-2 من آرسنال.

وظل أرنولد عرضة للانتقادات طوال الموسم الحالي بسبب تراجع أدائه وكثرة أخطائه الدفاعية، بينما يعاني محمد صلاح من قلة الأهداف هذا الموسم، حيث لم يسجل إلا هدفين في الدوري الإنجليزي حتى الآن.

وقال جون بارنز في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “ليفربول إيكو” الإنجليزية: “لقد لعب ليفربول والمدافعون بطريقة معينة خلال السنوات الأربع الماضية مع ماني وفيرمينو وصلاح”.

وأضاف: “لاعبو خط الوسط الثلاثة هم 3 لاعبين فرديين يعملون بجد، الآن مع تياجو وهارفي إليوت وأشخاص من هذا القبيل، فإن خط الوسط ليس قويًا من الناحية الدفاعية مما يعني أنه لا يمكنهم مساعدة الرباعي الدفاعي وأرنولد كما اعتادوا”.

وواصل: “ترينت لا يزال يتقدم للأمام، لم يكن أبدًا في فريق بسبب قدراته الدفاعية، ولكن الأمر يتعلق بحقيقة أنني لا أعتقد أن خط الوسط قوي بما يكفي لحماية المدافعين الأربعة، وهذا هو سبب قدرة الفرق الآن على اختراق دفاعات ليفربول”.

واستكمل: “إنها ليست مشكلة ترينت، حيث أن الأمر متعلق بالطريقة الخاصة باللعب والاستراتيجية التي تعتمد على وجود ترينت كعنصر هجوم في الوسط، ولكن توقع أن يدافع الآخرون”.

وأوضح: “ليس الأمر أن الفريق وترينت قد تغيروا، إنهم يمرون ببعض مشاكل التغيير، لا أرى أن ترينت يمثل مشكلة في هذا الفريق، فسوف يعمل على حلها”.

وفيما يتعلق بـ محمد صلاح، قال بارنز: “صلاح يجب أن يعتاد على اللعب في مركزه الجديد، مو صلاح يسجل الأهداف من خلال القيام بجولات من الخارج إلى الداخل في مساحة خالية حيث لا يوجد مهاجم”.

واستمر: “الآن لديهم نونيز الذي يلعب في قلب الهجوم، لذا فإن الطريقة التي سيلعب بها مو يجب أن تكون مختلفة، لا يمكنه اللعب بالطريقة التي لعبها مع فيرمينو، لذلك عليه أن يعتاد على ذلك”.

وأكد: “إنها فترة انتقالية حيث تغيرت الطريقة التي يلعبون بها بدرجة طفيفة، لذا على الجميع أن يعتادوا عليها، سيكون مو على ما يرام، سيجد قدميه من حيث اللعب بنظام جديد وأسلوب جديد، ولكن هذا قد يعني أنه لن يسجل العديد من الأهداف”.

واختتم: “عندما يكون لديك قلب هجوم جديد مثل نونيز الذي يجب أن يكون الهداف الرئيسي، يجب أن يكون كذلك، فهذا يعني أن مو سيسجل أهدافًا أقل”.

A decisão entre Flamengo e Independiente na próxima quarta-feira será a terceira do Rubro-Negro na temporada, mas a primeira para o meia Everton Ribeiro. Seis meses após a sua chegada, o camisa 7 falou sobre a emoção e ansiedade de poder conquistar o primeiro título com a camisa do clube.

– Era um objetivo meu (disputar finais e conquistar títulos). Todo mundo me deu muita força e muito apoio. O primeiro objetivo foi alcançado, que era chegar na final, mas agora quero sentir o clima, dar o máximo e conquistar meu primeiro título pelo Flamengo – disse o camisa 7.

Everton mostrou muita confiança em uma boa atuação do Flamengo na próxima quarta-feira no Maracanã, ainda mais por conta do apoio que a torcida rubro-negra vai dar aos seus atletas. Vale lembrar que todos os ingressos já foram vendidos para essa partida.

– Otimismo muito grande, jogamos melhor na primeira partida por um bom tempo, mesmo fora de casa. Em casa a nossa torcida faz diferença, empurra e vamos reverter esse resultado para trazer o título pra gente.

Uma final entre “Brasil x Argentina” sempre é recheada de ingredientes. Antes da bola rolar, o camisa 7 foi perguntado sobre uma possível catimba do rival e afirmou que o melhor a ser feito é não cair na pilha, para reverter o placar.

– Não podemos cair na pilha deles, vamos entrar ligados. A vantagem deles é de um gol, vamos errar menos possível para sair com o título.

Para sair com o título, o Flamengo precisa vencer por dois gols de diferença. Uma vitória pela diferença mínima leva a decisão para a prorrogação e consequentemente aos pênaltis. Por ter vencido por 2 a 1 na Argentina, o Independiente joga pelo empate. Vale lembrar que na final da Copa Sul-Americana, não há o critério de gol fora de casa.

Hampshire have signed Abdul Razzaq, the Pakistan allrounder, to strengthen their squad for the domestic Twenty20 tournament

Cricinfo staff08-Mar-2010

Hampshire have signed Abdul Razzaq, the Pakistan allrounder, to strengthen their squad for the domestic Twenty20 tournament.He will be joining his team-mate Shahid Afridi and Ajantha Mendis, the Sri Lankan spinner, who was one of the leading wicket-takers at the World Twenty20 in England last year.”I’ve always enjoyed my cricket in England as it is a home away from home due to the massive following Pakistani players have there,” said Razzaq. “I will do my utmost to try and help Hampshire win the tournament.”Razzaq has extensive Twenty20 experience, having played his first game in the format during a stint with Surrey in 2003. He captained Lahore Lions to the final of the RBS Twenty20 Cup last season, scoring 109 against Quetta Bears along the way.His familiarity with English conditions – he has also played for Worcestershire and Middlesex, as well as participating in the World Twenty20 last year – will also prove valuable.”Abdul Razzaq is one of the finest Twenty20 performers in the world,” said Rod Bransgrove, Hampshire’s chairman. “He will be a great asset to the side and adds even greater depth to an already impressive team. We have assembled arguably our strongest ever Twenty20 squad with the clear objective of reaching the Finals Day here at The Rose Bowl on August 14.”In an effort to raise the profile of England’s Twenty20 Cup competition, counties will be able to include four overseas players in their squads in the coming season but only two will be allowed in each game.

Since Aston Villa’s current owners Wes Edens and Nassef Sawiris took over the Midlands club back in 2018, they have not been reluctant in spending money on bringing new players to Villa Park that can help the team fulfil their ambitions of taking the club into the upper echelons of football.

With this in mind, Villa journalist Gregg Evans has dropped a clue regarding one player that has been mentioned with a move to the Midlands club in the past that could push them closer to being an elite club competing for European football.

What’s the news?

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Evans had this to say about Villa’s interest in Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

He said: “Yes they like him, there’s no denying that. Whether there’s even a one per cent chance of getting him is another matter.”

Break their transfer record

As a product of Leeds’ youth academy, Phillips has gone on to make a total of 226 appearances for the Yorkshire club, showing how important he is to the team and why they would presumably want to keep hold of him for as long as possible.

Having ended the previous Premier League season as one of Leeds’ highest-rated players according to WhoScored with an overall performance rating of 7.01/10, it would place him fourth among Villa’s highest-rated players.

Thus, it’s easy to see why the Midlands club have an admiration for the England international and why Villa fans would surely be overjoyed to see him at their club.

As well as being an important figure for Leeds, Phillips has made himself a significant player on the international stage as well. For instance, he was one of the five outfield players that started all seven of England’s Euro 2020 games last summer.

While the likelihood of Phillips eventually making the move to Villa Park is yet to be determined, the Villa fans should be excited by the fact that their club has an interest in Phillips and have a previous record of being very active in the transfer market, like they have been this month with the arrivals of Philippe Coutinho and Lucas Digne.

Looking ahead to the future, with the £60m valued midfielder’s current contract at Elland Road not set to expire until the summer of 2024, it could be a challenge for Villa to secure his signature anytime soon.

It may also be very expensive, potentially causing them to breach their transfer record fee of £33m that they paid for Emi Buendia last summer. Villa haven’t been afraid to splash out of late with the likes of Digne, Ollie Watkins, Leon Bailey and Danny Ings costing north of £25m.

With previous claims suggesting that Gerrard would want to sign a defensive midfielder this month, if they don’t manage to sign one this month, this could increase their need to make a move for Phillips next summer.

Considering his quality, they must do all they can to lure him to the Midlands, including smashing their transfer record.

In other news: Aston Villa reveal exciting transfer news, it’s another Lange masterclass – opinion

Leeds United appear to be very active this week after a reliable journalist issued an exciting transfer claim…

What’s the word?

Reports emerged suggesting that the Yorkshire outfit had a £15m offer knocked back for RB Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson, though the club are said to remain keen on signing him this month.

However, it’s not the only player that they have submitted a bid for.

“Victor Orta is being busy and Leeds have also tabled a bid for a second as of yet unidentified player,” revealed the Daily Mirror’s David Anderson to Twitter on Tuesday night.

It remains to be seen who the second player could be as United have been linked to many names in many different positions throughout the last two to three weeks.

Signings soon?

Whilst we may not know who Orta and co are targeting now, the point that they are now looking to conduct business is hugely exciting and encouraging news for the Elland Road faithful.

This window was quickly heading down the same path – a bleak one with no signings, nothing to help manager Marcelo Bielsa and the problems within his squad.

[snack-amp-story url = “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-leeds-transfer-rumours-and-news-2″ title=”Read the latest Leeds news, transfer updates and much, much more!”]

Often, his side have been decimated by injuries and that was epitomised by the fact that he could only name one senior professional on the bench during Sunday’s 3-2 win over West Ham United. That being Rodrigo, who has only just returned from injury himself.

Leeds have long been on the lookout for a midfielder, with the last signing in the role being Adam Forshaw nearly four years ago. It has left the head coach awfully short on options.

With Kalvin Phillips on the treatment table, it is only Forshaw and Mateusz Klich available as clear-cut central midfielders. The likes of Stuart Dallas and Jamie Shackleton, who often play anywhere they are asked to, can fill in but they have largely been utilised at full-back.

It certainly seems as if Orta is trying his best to find solutions, having submitted two offers for two different players this week, and that should leave many supporters buzzing heading into the rest of the window.

With less than two weeks to go, the Yorkshire giants must accelerate plans to get at least one deal over the line.

Time is running out for Deccan Chargers, for another defeat, their sixth in a row, could all but end their hopes of reaching the semi-final

Big PictureIn the league phase comprising 56 games, the eight teams have had their chances to rectify declines, build on successful runs, reassess failing strategies and work out winning combinations. But time is running out for some, especially Deccan Chargers, for another defeat, their sixth in a row, could all but end their hopes of reaching the semi-final. They are currently seventh, and will remain there if they lose on Thursday to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Given their poor net run-rate, and the rush for a knockout berth among at least three other better-placed teams, their prospects remain bleak.Bangalore, currently ranked fourth, are strong contenders but have experienced a blip, losing three of their last four games. A win against Deccan, added to their superior net run-rate, will propel them to second place and distance them further from Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings, who, too, are competing for a spot in the final four. A loss will only make that scrap more intense.Ross Taylor’s arrival prompted a few changes in the Bangalore line-up – they left out Dale Steyn and Manish Pandey for their previous game, a strategy they might reconsider, given the margin of defeat against Delhi Daredevils. Aiming to recover from the recent downturn, Bangalore will want to have their best available team to surge forward with four games to play after Thursday.Deccan were on the verge of arresting their losing streak before panic set in against Rajasthan in the final over of the chase, costing them the game by two runs. None among their last seven batsmen reached double-figures, and another capitulation is something they can ill-afford in troubled times.Form guide (most recent first)Royal Challengers Bangalore: LWLLW
Deccan Chargers: LLLLLTeam talkCameron White may have to make way for Steyn, while Abhimanyu Mithun could step out for Pandey.Deccan have problems in the middle order, with meager contributions from the Indian players. Monish Mishra, Venugopal Rao, Anirudh Singh and Azhar Bilakhia have, largely, failed and there is little that Deccan, apart from shuffling them around, can do. If Herschelle Gibbs is called back, Deccan may have to leave out an all-round option in Dwayne Smith.Head to headBangalore 3 Deccan 2
It’s the 40th match of the IPL but the two teams haven’t met yet this season. In the inaugural edition, Bangalore sneaked home by three wickets at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, and won more comfortably in Hyderabad.The teams shared honours in the league stages in South Africa, Deccan winning by 24 runs in Cape Town and Bangalore, thanks to Pandey’s century, by 12 runs in Centurion. Deccan, however, had the last laugh, beating Bangalore in the final by 6 runs at the Wanderers.In the spotlightRoss Taylor: In his 10-ball stay against Delhi, Taylor showed how valuable he is to the Bangalore outfit. He blazed three sixes to race to 22, and was one batsman who threatened to scale down Delhi’s strong total before being trapped in front. His power-packed strokeplay, and the ability to clear the boundary with ease, can be especially dispiriting to his opponents in the death overs.Adam Gilchrist: With just one half-century in nine games, and an average of 23.22, Gilchrist has confined himself to attractive cameos – five out of nine times has he scored above 20 – but failed to press on. With a struggling middle order, Deccan need a greater boost at the top and no one is better equipped to do that than their captain.Prime NumbersDeccan’s run-rate in the last five overs this IPL has been the least among all teams. They have scored at 7.74 an over – Bangalore are second-highest with 10.38 – and have lost 28 wickets at an average of 11.75, the joint-lowest. Deccan have struck one six more than Bangalore so far – 48 to 47. Chennai lead the pack with 68, followed by Rajasthan at 66. Quotes”I think we could say that all of us in our team had a couple of glimpses of fantastic performances and probably too many glimpses of disappointing performances.”
Adam Gilchrist on his team’s inconsistency.”We played Mumbai Indians at DY Patil [one of Deccan’s designated ‘home venues’, in Mumbai] and not one spectator supported us. Sometimes the crowd factor plays a part. Your supporters give you that extra push in crunch matches.”
