Crystal Palace have been rather impressive in recent times as they continue to improve under Roy Hodgson, having gone unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions. 

The Eagles still find themselves at risk from slipping into the relegation zone as they’re currently only two points above the bottom three, so they still need to seek even more improvements.

Interestingly, it appears as if the London club already have their sights set on a possible summer swoop, as according to Calciomercato (via 90Min), Crystal Palace are interested in Christian Kouame.

Indeed, the 21-year-old has established himself as one of the brightest prospects in Italy this season, having produced four goals and six assists at current club Genoa. He is a powerful forward who possesses an obvious aerial threat, so he would be a great addition for Palace who look to play off a target man.

Sadly, the likes of Christian Benteke, Jordan Ayew, Connor Wickham and Michy Batshuayi have only produced a combined three goals this season, so it’s safe to say they could do with bringing in attacking reinforcements.

Roy Hodgson can make a big statement by securing the services of Christian Kouame as they would pip one of Europe’s elite to the signing as Juventus also hold a strong interest in the Ivory Coast forward, and he has the potential to become a future star.

Mbappe suffers injuryRested against Lille on weekendSet to return for UCL fixture(C)Getty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?

The 25-year-old France international is set to return to the PSG line-up for their upcoming Champions League clash against Real Sociedad on Wednesday. Mbappe had previously picked up an ankle injury during the 3-1 win over Brest in the Coupe de France – where he scored the opening goal in the 34th minute.

Speaking in Tuesday's press conference ahead of the first leg, PSG boss Luis Enrique offered an update on Mbappe's fitness. "Kylian Mbappe is available, just like the other players," he said. "When a team has a player like Kylian Mbappe, of course we know that the more he plays the better, because we all benefit from that. There is no doubt about it. He could have played [on Saturday] if it had been a final, but it wasn't, it was not worth the risk."

GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Enrique made the decision to rest Mbappe during their last outing against LOSC Lille last weekend, where his side were once again able to secure a 3-1 win. In his absence, PSG played two players up front in a traditional 4-4-2 formation, with both Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos featuring. Both players were on the scoresheet during the game.

Antony fez diversos elogios a Fernando Diniz durante live no Instagram da empresa que gerencia sua carreira, a 4ComM. O atacante de 20 anos, que será atleta do Ajax a partir de 1º de julho, valoriza as conversas que teve com o treinador desde setembro de 2019, quando ele substituiu Cuca.

– Olha, o Diniz é um treinador que me ajudou muito desde quando chegou, me dá confiança e liberdade para jogar. É muito bom de grupo, está sempre conversando. Quando ele chegou, me chamou para conversar, me deu uma confiança enorme. Ele cobra muito, é do perfil dele, e agradeço até pela cobrança. Ele está muito feliz por mim, é um cara que agradeço muito, um treinador que com certeza agregou muito na minha vida e que vou levar para o resto da vida – disse Antony, antes de revelar que Diniz tem liberdade até para jogar baralho com os comandados.

Principais atacantes do Vasco em 2019, Talles Magno e Marrony estão com funções diferentes neste início de temporada. Sob o comando de Abel Braga, os jovens têm atuado mais por dentro, com os laterais ocupando o corredor, local onde vinham jogando com Luxemburgo. Até agora, sem sucesso.

Apesar da alta posse de bola dos titulares nos dois jogos que fizeram até agora no Carioca – média de 61% – e do bom volume de passes trocados – 505 por partida -, a dupla não tem se encontrado em campo. Responsáveis por abastecer Cano no ataque, os dois trocaram pouquíssimos passes entre si.

Contra o Boavista, nesse sábado, foram apenas seis interações entre os dois, três de cada um. Cano, por sua vez, recebeu apenas quatro passes da dupla – três de Talles. Dos jogadores que atuaram mais de 45 minutos, o trio foi o que menos trocou passes no confronto pelo lado vascaíno.

A maior dificuldade dos dois tem sido na movimentação. Tentando as diagonais por dentro, ambos afunilam e dão de frente com marcações bem postadas e áreas congestionadas – principalmente contra os pequenos. Talles perdeu a posse 11 vezes no duelo com a equipe de Saquarema. Marrony, cinco. Isso porque os dois têm por característica a jogada individual e não o passe.

Em outros times, Abel Braga usou meias na função. D’Alessandro e Alex no Internacional, Sornoza e Scarpa no Fluminense e Diego e Éverton Ribeiro no Flamengo, são alguns exemplos. Meias de origem, com característica de criação através da aproximação e do passe, não da velocidade e da individualidade. O Vasco, hoje, não tem ninguém com essas qualidades no elenco.

A primeira ‘decisão’ do Cruz-Maltino acontece já no próximo dia 5, quando a equipe estreará na Copa Sul-Americana enfrentando o Oriente Petrolero, da Bolívia, em São Januário. Até lá, Abel terá trabalho para fazer sua promissora dupla ‘conversar’ dentro de campo.

UAE will be looking to give a good account of themselves against a Sri Lanka side that will be boosted by the return of Angelo Mathews and Lasith Malinga

‘Lucky to have this kind of practice before WT20’ – Herath

Big PictureAfter the 2-1 loss in India, Sri Lanka have a chance to ease their way into the Asia Cup by taking on the UAE in their first match. The return of the captain Lasith Malinga, Angelo Mathews, Rangana Herath and Nuwan Kulasekara will give the team a major boost as they look to start gathering themselves ahead of the World T20, where they have a title to defend.Sri Lanka have a well-balanced side for these two tournaments with an experienced batting line-up consisting of Tillakaratne Dilshan, Dinesh Chandimal, Mathews and Chamara Kapugedara. The bowling attack has seam allrounders Dasun Shanaka and Thisara Perera, spin allrounders Shehan Jayasuriya and Milinda Siriwardana, as well as experienced spinners like Herath and Sachithra Senanayake. Legspinner Jeffrey Vandersay is a newcomer and could be a surprise package.The game against UAE will give Sri Lanka an opportunity to figure out how they can balance their spin and seam allrounders, with special focus on Jayasuriya and Siriwardana. There is also the question of whether Kapugedara will be able to use his vast experience in Mirpur to Sri Lanka’s advantage.The match will be a major test for UAE as they look to continue their good form from the qualifiers, where they won all three matches against Afghanistan, Oman and Hong Kong. Some new match-winners have emerged, which could help them not be just another Associate participant among the big boys. Watch out for Rohan Mustafa, Muhammad Kaleem, Muhammad Usman, Mohammad Naveed and Shaiman Anwar.Sri Lanka have historically been ruthless against Associates, so there is danger of this game ending up as a no-contest early in the evening. That should be motivation enough for UAE to make sure they remain in the contest.Form Guide
(last five completed matches)Sri Lanka LLWLL
UAE WWWWLWatch out forLasith Malinga last played a T20 series against West Indies in November before injuring his knee. He is back in Sri Lanka’s leadership, and like the rest of the line-up, will slowly wade into action. His vast experience will be a test for UAE.UAE will have Rohan Mustafa tackling the likes of Malinga first up. Mustafa is one of the new UAE stars who can be expected to put up a fight as they look to give a good impression of themselves against a major opponent. His offspin, too, will be handy in his side’s bid to keep Sri Lanka down to a manageable total.Team newsThe big call for Sri Lanka is whether to play Herath ahead of their seam allrounders, given how Mirpur has been good for seam bowling on certain evenings. Sri Lanka could also be in a dilemma about Kulasekara, while Jayasuriya and Vandersay are handy spin options.Sri Lanka (probable): 1 Niroshan Dikwella (wk), 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Dinesh Chandimal, 4 Angelo Mathews, 5 Milinda Siriwardana, 6 Chamara Kapugedara, 7 Dasun Shanaka, 8 Thisara Perera, 9 Sachithra Senanayake, 10 Dushmanth Chameera, 11 Lasith Malinga (capt)UAE are unlikely to go with Zaheer Maqsood, Fahad Tariq and Farhan Ahmed unless there is an injury to one of the players who featured in the victory against Oman in their last qualifying match in Fatullah.UAE (probable): 1 Rohan Mustafa, 2 Muhammad Kaleem, 3 Mohammad Shahzad, 4 Shaiman Anwar, 5 Muhammad Usman, 6 Amjad Javed (capt), 7 Mohammad Naveed, 8 Saqlain Haider, 9 Ahmed Raza, 10 SP Patil (wk), 11 Qadeer AhmedPitch and conditionsMirpur had a green top for the Bangladesh-India encounter but it is unlikely that a similar pitch will be greeting Sri Lanka and UAE. A surface devoid of grass and with slower speed can be expected. There is rain in the forecast but nothing that should threaten the game.Stats and trivia This is the first encounter between Sri Lanka and UAE in T20Is, although the teams have met in ODIs in 2004 and 2008. Shaiman Anwar made only 48 runs in the three qualifying matches, but he is UAE’s highest scorer in T20s.

اتفق أسطورة نادي آرسنال، إيان رايت، مع ما قاله المدير الفني للفريق ميكيل أرتيتا بعد خسارة الأمس أمام نيوكاسل يونايتد في الدوري الإنجليزي.

وتلاقى الفريقان على ملعب “سانت جيمس بارك” في الجولة الحادية عشر من الدوري الإنجليزي، حيث خسر آرسنال بهدف دون رد.

وشهدت المباراة جدلًا تحكيميًا نتيجة احتساب هدف نيوكاسل، الذي سجله جوردون، حيث كانت هناك 3 حالات تحكيمية تخصه، دققت فيها تقنية الفيديو قبل احتسابه.

كانت الحالة الأولى خاصة بوجود شبهة لخروج الكرة خارج الملعب، قبل تنفيذ هجمة الهدف، والثانية وجود تسلل على جوردون قبل تسجيله الهدف، والثالثة وجود خطأ على جويلاينتون قبل تمريره الكرة إلى جوردون.

وشن المدرب ميكيل أرتيتا هجومًا عنيفًا ضد التحكيم، ووصف الأمر بـ”الفضيحة” (لمطالعة التفاصيل من هنا).

وقال إيان رايت في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “مترو” الإنجليزية: “أنا أتفق تمامًا مع جميع المدربين الذين يخسرون المباريات من خلال تقنية الفيديو والقرارات”.

وأضاف: “لقد سمعته (أرتيتا) يقول إن هناك الكثير على المحك بالنسبة لهؤلاء المدربين واللاعبين، وما يعملون عليه أسبوعًا بعد أسبوع، ورغم ذلك يخسرون بهذه الطريقة”.

وواصل: “هذا لا يمنع أن نيوكاسل يستحق الإشادة لأنه فريق رائع، كانت النتيجة لتصبح 0-0 إذا لم نخسر بسبب مثل تلك الظروف، اللعب هناك صعب”.

وأردف: “لكنني سعيد للغاية بمجرد سماعه (أرتيتا) يقول ذلك، لأن ما حدث يغضبك، ويغضب المشجعين، إنه أمر غير مقبول الآن، أنا سعيد لكون مدربي يتحدث بهذه الطريقة، وأنا سعيد من أجله”.

Australia’s distraught captain Michael Clarke has spoken about Phillip Hughes on behalf of the national team at the SCG

Michael Clarke expresses Australia’s deep pain

Australia’s distraught captain Michael Clarke has spoken about Phillip Hughes on behalf of the national team, revealing that his No. 64 ODI shirt will be retired out of respect for their departed friend and teammate.Clarke spoke for around two and a half minutes, promising “I’ll do my best” and fighting back tears with almost every sentence. During these moments it was difficult to imagine the Australian team turning out for a Test match in Brisbane as soon as Thursday next week – Clarke’s predecessor Ricky Ponting has stated he does not think they can.”Words cannot express how we feel as a team right now. To Greg, Virginia, Jason and Megan, we share in the deep pain that you’re feeling,” Clarke said. “Apart from when he was at home on the farm with his beloved cattle, Hughesy was at his happiest playing cricket for his country with his mates. Things were all put into perspective when Hughesy said ‘where else would you rather be boys, but playing cricket for your country’.”We’re going to miss that cheeky grin and that twinkle in his eye. He epitomised what the baggy green is about and what it means to us all. the world lost one of its great blokes this week, and we are all poorer for it. Our promise to Hughesy’s family is that we will do everything we can to honour his memory. Last night I asked Cricket Australia if Hughesy’s Australian one day international shirt No. 64, could be retired, to which they agreed. That means so much.”His legacy of trying to improve each and every day will drive us for the rest of our lives. We’d like to thank everyone both here and overseas for the touching tributes to Hughesy in recent days. Our dressing room will never be the same. We loved him and always will. Rest in peace, Bruzzy.”Clarke paused longest before uttering the words “our dressing room will never be the same”. Knowing this, Ponting has expressed his belief that the first Test against India should not go ahead as scheduled.The match is due to begin at the Gabba on Thursday. However, on Friday CA’s chief executive James Sutherland said that cricket would go on “when we’re ready”, and added that the players had not yet been consulted about their feelings on whether the Test should go ahead.It is believed the Hughes family wants the Test to go ahead, but the raw emotions displayed by Clarke while reading a statement from the Australia team and staff on Saturday morning made it hard to imagine the players being ready to take the field again so soon. Ponting said it would be a miracle if they were in the right frame of mind for a Test.”It’s been such a tragic week for the Hughes family and the cricket community and I can’t imagine how anybody can be expected to play Test cricket on Thursday,” Ponting wrote in the . “In fact I don’t think it would be right. Even if the boys think they can play, it would be a miracle if they find the right frame of mind needed for five days of cricket.”Ian Chappell has said he believes the Test would provide the players a good opportunity to concentrate on something else, after several days of grieving. That sentiment was echoed by Allan Border, who said it would all come down to whether the players wanted the match to go ahead.”My personal view is that rather than sitting around I think they might be better off playing,” Border said on . “It would be very difficult, I’m not shying away from that. Sitting around in your room you’re going to be thinking about it 24/7.”India’s tour match against a Cricket Australia XI, which was due to take place in Adelaide on Friday and Saturday, was cancelled after Hughes died on Thursday. Sunil Gavaskar said it was difficult to imagine the players being in the right frame of mind to play the first Test.”I guess it’s something the boards will have to look at,” Gavaskar said on NDTV in India. “The first Test is almost a week away but I am sure nobody would be in a mood to play. Nobody would be in the right frame of mind.”
