وقال أحمد حسام ميدو في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “صدى البلد”: “حسام غالي أسطورة في الأهلي، هو هادئ ويتعلم ومستقبل للنادي، هو خطر كبير على ناس كثيرين داخل النادي، والهتافات السيئة موجهة ضده من أشخاص معينين”.

وتابع: “حسام غالي خطر على أي أحد يحلم أن يكون رئيسًا للأهلي، وهو الآن في حزب الخطيب وحسن حمدي، وهناك محاولات لهدمه، والناس نجحوا في هذا الأمر في الفترة الأولى التي كان يعمل فيها بعد اعتزاله ولكن الآن تعلم”.

وواصل: “حسام غالي رجل طيب وشخصية نظيفة، ويجب أن تتغير شخصيته نوعًا ما لأن الوسط الكروي أصبح صعبًا جدًا وكثيرون يحاربون بعضهم”.

واختتم: “هناك تأثير كبير على قرارات الأهلي من السوشيال ميديا، على العكس يعجبني أمير مرتضى عندما قال إن النادي لن يتعاقد مع لاعبين تريدهم السوشيال ميديا ولكن سنتعاقد مع اللاعبين الذين نحتاجهم”.

As per vivoperlei.calciomercato.com, an update has emerged on the future of promising Juventus defender Luca Pellegrini and it involves West Ham United.

The Lowdown: Newman eyeing West Ham moves…

Since the official announcement of new recruitment chief Rob Newman at the London Stadium, West Ham have been linked with a plethora of new targets as a fresh transfer era at Rush Green begins.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-updates-2/” title=”West Ham updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The likes of Weston McKennie and James McAtee, two exciting young stars, have been mentioned alongside the Hammers, while reports suggest that the striker hunt is also heating up. As per a new claim from Italy, Newman now appears to have another starlet in his sights.

The Latest: Approaches made for Pellegrini…

As per vivoperlei.calciomercato.com’s information, West Ham have now ‘probed the ground several times’ for out-of-favour international Pellegrini – presumably meaning the club have made enquiries/approaches.

The 22-year-old has been a bit-part figure in Turin since signing from AS Roma in 2019, starting just one Serie A match for Juventus in that time.

He has gone out on loan to the likes of Cagliari and Genoa, even managing to earn an Italy call-up in that time, but he is now a ‘hostage to the bench’ under Massimiliano Allegri and is ‘certain’ to ‘go away on loan’.

His departure will be a temporary one in January according to the report as West Ham, and by extension recruitment chief Newman, weigh up a move for him.

The Verdict: Great Cresswell alternative?

Described as a ‘very promising, technically gifted fullback’ by journalist Zach Lowy (Twitter), his best Serie A season to date arguably came with a loan spell at Cagliari in 2019/20.

He notched five assists in 22 league starts that year and will be itching to get back to that previous form, especially if he wishes to regain the favour of Roberto Mancini at international level.

West Ham could certainly do far worse than to sign him on loan in January, especially given their lack of cover for Aaron Cresswell.

Na última quinta-feira o coordenador Valdir Espinosa foi demitido pelo Grêmio e a notícia surpreendeu o técnico Renato Portaluppi, que além de colega de trabalho, é amigo de Espinosa, com quem conquistou a Libertadores e o Mundial de 1983. Apesar do choque com a demissão, o treinador tricolor afirma que é a diretoria que decide e que cabe aos funcionários acatar a determinação.

– Eu estava treinando o time, fiquei sabendo através do Espinosa depois do treino. Ele convivia com a gente desde o ano passado, foram passadas algumas coisas, pelo o que eu soube, não foram do agrado dele. Eu fui pego de surpresa, veio falar comigo depois de falar com vocês. Fico sentido pelo Espinosa, mas existe a hierarquia do clube – declarou Renato.

Espinosa foi integrado ao Grêmio no mesmo período que o técnico, em setembro de 2016. Apesar da boa relação entre os dois, Renato Portaluppi afirma que não há o que ele possa fazer para reverter a situação.

– Fiquei triste, é um grande profissional e meu amigo particular. Mas existem coisas no clube que não cabe ao Renato decidir. Eu trabalho dentro do campo, no clube existe a hierarquia. Fica difícil falar, sou funcionário. Cabe a mim acatar o que acontece dentro do clube – explicou.

Valdir Espinosa foi demitido por conta de incompatibilidade com a diretoria. Dentro do clube, os dirigentes estavam insatisfeitos porque o ex-coordenador não estava exercendo a função que lhe cabia, devendo integrar as categorias de base e o elenco principal, trabalhando com jogadores e membros de comissões técnicas de outros clubes, auxiliando o Grêmio em contratações e afins. Apesar disso, Renato negou que a agremiação esteja em crise.

– Algumas pessoas falaram em crise no Grêmio. Não há crise no Grêmio. A única que pode entrar é no momento que o clube não conseguir mais vitórias. O que pode gerar crise é se os resultados não aparecerem. Não a saída do Espinosa, poderia ter sido a do Renato, qualquer outro. Só vai existir crise quando os resultados não aparecerem – alertou o treinador.

A round-up of the State Championship matches between March 20 and 24, 2009

Cricinfo staff24-Mar-2009Peter Ingram scored an outstanding final-innings hundred to lead Central Districts to the State Championship final with a three-wicket win over Canterbury after they were set a target of 448 at Pukekura Park. Ingram scored 166 to ensure his team would take on league leaders Auckland in the final.Ingram and his opening partner Jamie How laid the platform for the successful chase with a first-wicket stand of 159. How scored 93 before he was caught by Hamish Bennett off debutant Martin Kain but Ingram found another steady partner in George Worker, who scored 55. They put on a century stand for the second wicket and Central Districts were well placed to push for a win when Worker fell with the score on 274. But they suffered a blip thereafter, losing two wickets quickly, but Timothy Weston scored a brisk 89 not out to ensure victory. It was only the eighth time that a team had chased over 400 in New Zealand.The prospects of a Central Districts win had seemed remote given the way the first three days had gone. Johann Myburgh starred in Canterbury’s first innings, scoring 199 before he was unfortunately run out, and half-centuries from three other batsmen led them to 493. Michael Mason was Central Districts best bowler, taking 5 for 83.Central Districts’ position became worse after a first-innings collapse resulted in Canterbury taking a lead of 278. They were bowled out for 215 with Bennett and Leighton Burtt taking 4 for 48 apiece. None of the batsmen apart from Ewen Thompson, who blasted 51 off 28 balls, made a significant contribution.Myburgh scored another century in Canterbury’s second innings and shared a third-wicket partnership of 156 with Michael Papps, who scored 63. Canterbury declared soon after Myburgh reached his hundred with a lead of 447. They would have scarcely imagined that it would not prove enough.A strong collective batting performance and a devastating spell from Daryl Tuffey helped Auckland beat Northern Districts by an innings and 16 runs at the Eden Park Outer Oval.Led by Kane Williamson’s 111 off 144 balls Northern Districts put up a reasonable 306 even though no other batsman went past 40. But that effort was overshadowed by Auckland’s batsmen who scored heavily and shut Northern Districts out of the contest.Anaru Kitchen and Colin de Grandhomme scored hundreds and Richard Jones and Reece Young made half-centuries as Auckland amassed 540. Joseph Yovich and Brian Aldridge took four and three wickets respectively but both conceded more than 100 runs.Tuffey wrecked the Northern Districts top order when they batted a second time, reducing them to 13 for 3 in the 13th over. They tried to recover through a fourth-wicket stand of 132 between Michael Parlane and Williamson, who scored 85 off 108 balls in the second innings. But after that partnership was broken by Lance Shaw with the score on 145, Tuffey took three more wickets to bowl out Northern Districts for 218.Wellington took points for a first-innings lead after their match against Otago ended in a draw at Basin Reserve. Rain ensured no play was possible on the final day.Jeetan Patel took 5 for 65 to help restrict Otago to 270 in their first innings. They made a sound start, with openers Craig Cumming and Aaron Redmond adding 122, but slipped to 185 for 6 after Luke Woodcock made the initial breakthrough. Redmond’s 76 off 93 balls was Otago’s top score while Leighton Morgan also made 64.Wellington were in deep trouble during their first innings and hopes of a first-innings lead were distant when they slipped to 98 for 6. However Chris Nevin and Dewayne Bowden scored half-centuries to get the innings back on track. They added 148 for the seventh wicket after which Patel chipped in with a quick 44 to give Wellington the lead. They declared on 325 for 9 with a lead of 55.Otago batted splendidly in the second innings, reaching 257 for 2 at the end of the third day. Cumming scored a century and was well supported by Greg Todd who scored an unbeaten 94. But rain washed out the fourth day, giving Otago no points in the contest.

An update has emerged on Rangers centre-back Leon Balogun, regarding Steven Gerrard’s thoughts on the defender.

What’s the talk?

According to The Scottish Sun, the Gers boss is be keen to keep Leon Balogun at the club beyond the end of the season.

The report states that Balogun is out of contract at the end of the campaign, but he has won over Gerrard’s trust and could be handed an extension.

Gerrard loves him

Ibrox chief Ross Wilson must make a key decision by offering Balogun a contract to remain at Ibrox beyond the end of the 2021/22 campaign. He must now allow the central defender to depart on a free transfer as he still has plenty to offer and could be a valuable player for Gerrard moving forward.

Whilst there is speculation circling around Gerrard’s own future at Rangers, he is still contracted to the club and we can only assume that he will be the head coach heading into next season as it stands. This is why signing Balogun to a new deal could be a shrewd move, as he is a player the ex-Liverpool man loves.

Earlier this year, Gerrard lauded the defender as he admitted that he wanted Balogun to sign a contract extension, which he later did. The manager said:

“Leon is someone we want to keep hold of. He knows that and he is performing so well.

“He signed a contract with an option of an extension and we want him to be here beyond this season.

“Leon knows he is wanted here. I think he’s enjoying it, he’s playing with a smile on his face.

This, along with the aforementioned report stating Gerrard’s trust in the £14k-per-week defender, shows that Balogun is loved by the manager and that is why he must be handed another extension by Wilson.

He has shown on the pitch this season that he still has quality to offer.

Balogun has averaged a sublime SofaScore rating of 7.20 in the Premiership and 7.25 in the Europa League, with Rangers keeping three clean sheets in his six league appearances.

This shows that he can still perform to a high standard for the Gers and Wilson must please Gerrard by getting the Nigerian international to put pen to paper.

AND in other news, Rangers may be set for big boost after Gers news, Gerrard will be elated…

Christian Benteke says ‘there were some contacts’ with other clubs before he committed his future to Crystal Palace. 

The lowdown

It was confirmed at the beginning of June that Benteke had signed a new two-year deal following the expiry of his previous contract. He’s said to be pocketing £120,000-per-week at Selhurst Park.

Benteke joined the Eagles back in 2016 for a fee of £28.08million and has gone to score 33 goals in 150 appearances.

He finished as Palace’s second-highest scorer in the Premier League last season, with his tally of 10 goals bettered only by Wilfried Zaha (11).

The Belgian has started two of Patrick Vieira’s four competitive matches in charge, registering an assist in the 2-2 draw with West Ham United prior to the international break.

The latest

Speaking to native publication Sport Magazine, Benteke admitted he ‘thought about’ moving on as the end of his deal approached.

Ultimately, though, he chose to stay put, in part because he’s so settled in the area.

“In January we started thinking about leaving,” he said. “Then I had a long talk with the coach [Roy Hodgson] and he told me he couldn’t guarantee that I would play 90 minutes every game, but he added that he was counting on me.

“I decided to fight back and keep working hard. And I’m glad it paid off.

“I thought about it and there were some contacts. But I have taken many factors into account. My first argument, separate from the conversation I had with the chairman, was my physical readiness.

“I also wanted to stay here for family reasons, as my children have been attending school in London for a few years now. I was happy to be able to maintain some sort of stability.”

The verdict

It remains to be seen whether Benteke has made a wise decision. Palace have now brought in fresh blood up front in the form of £14million Odsonne Edouard.

Significantly, he’s believed to be better suited to Vieira’s preferred style of play.

Benteke may now find starting opportunities hard to come by and be forced to settle for cameos from the bench. The manager could look to him to ask different questions of defenders if plan-A doesn’t come off.

In other news, Palace wanted to sign this defender in the summer.

Leicester City will be hoping to end a two-game losing streak in the Premier League when they host Burnley at the King Power Stadium this afternoon.

The Foxes bounced back from consecutive defeats to Manchester City and Brighton with a 2-0 victory over Millwall in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

Building on that momentum is the task facing Brendan Rodgers’ charges when the Clarets pay them a visit, and a significant injury boost could help them to do just that.

Rodgers confirmed in Friday’s press conference that centre-back Jonny Evans is available for selection, giving Leicester renewed hope of securing all three points.

With that in mind, here’s how Football FanCast expects the 48-year-old to line up against Burnley, with six changes from the side which won in midweek…

The virtually ever-present Kasper Schmeichel will return to his usual sport between the sticks after backup ‘keeper Danny Ward was given his first appearance of the season against Millwall.

In defence, a back four of Ryan Bertrand, Caglar Soyuncu, Jannik Vestergaard and Ricardo Pereira should start despite Evans’ return to action, allowing the 33-year-old time to recover properly.

The engine room will have a familiar feel to it, with Wilfried Ndidi and Youri Tielemans forming the heart of the Leicester midfield.

Ahead the dynamic pair is set to be an exciting forward line. Summer signing Ademola Lookman could keep his place in the starting XI after scoring last time out, replacing the £3.6m-rated Marc Albrighton on the right wing.

Harvey Barnes will take up his usual occupancy on the left flank, while Kelechi Iheanacho will provide support to lone striker Jamie Vardy.

Você lembra qual foi a última vez em que o Fluminense saiu de campo sem sofrer gols? Neste Brasileirão, nenhuma. Desde o dia 22 de abril, há quase dois meses, quando venceu o Vasco na semifinal do Carioca, a equipe de Abel não sabe o que é passar 90 minutos com a defesa intacta. Nesta noite, às 21h45, o Tricolor pode encerrar a sequência negativa de 13 jogos diante do lanterna Avaí, pior ataque da competição. O site do LANCE! transmite a partida em tempo real.

​Jogando fora de casa, a fragilidade da defesa é ainda mais evidente. A última partida sem sofrer gols como visitante foi no dia 12 de março, contra o Boavista, em Bacaxá, pela Taça Rio. Porém, a Ressacada não tem intimidado os adversários: o Avaí só fez dois gols em casa neste Brasileirão – e apenas um fora. Ou seja, marcaram apenas em três das oito partidas até agora.

Para Henrique, capitão e titular absoluto, os desfalques e mudanças na escalação influenciam no mau momento da defesa. Metade do time que chegou a ficar sete jogos sem sofrer gols na Taça Guanabara não segue entre os titulares.

– Muda o campeonato, muda o time, é difícil. Ficamos um tempo sem tomar gol no começo do ano e perdemos aquela base pelas lesões que estamos enfrentando. Os jovens estão bem, estamos tentando acertar e no caminho certo – defende o zagueiro, que cita a defesa como um conjunto.

– O sistema ofensivo são os onze, e o sistema defensivo são os onze também. Logo as coisas vão se acertar.

Cricinfo takes a look at the results from round one of New Zealand’s 2008-09 domestic State Championship

Cricinfo staff20-Nov-2008Captain Matthew Bell led from the front as Wellington crushed Canterbury by an innings and 42 runs at Basin Reserve. His 146, along with Luke Woodcock’s all-round effort, condemned the defending champions to their second defeat in the competition: they had lost to Auckland in the tournament opener. Rain meant a delayed start, but Bell hit a rapid 88 on day one to make up for lost time. He brought up his 18th first-class ton on the second day. James Franklin (69) and Luke Woodcock (58) also contributed to Wellington’s score of 428. A toothless display followed from Canterbury in their first innings. Franklin and Jeetan Patel picked up three wickets apiece. They did not fare better in the second innings after Wellington enforced the follow-on. Essex allrounder Graham Napier took three wickets, and Woodcock ran through the bottom half as Wellington gained sweet revenge for their defeat in the 2007-08 State Championship final.Even rain on the final day could not prevent Auckland from crashing to a 138-run defeat against Central Districts in Napier. Brad Patton was clearly the star for the hosts, playing the anchor role in the first innings and bringing up his maiden first-class century in the second. Put in to bat, Central Districts ended on 213, riding on Patton’s 57. However, Ewen Thomson’s 5 for 57 on the second day ensured the lead stayed with the visitors. Auckland were reduced to 42 for 6 in reply, but some late hitting then from Auckland’s lower order, notably Steven Croft (59), ensured they reached 207. Patton then stroked a well-made 142. He was involved in a 106-run partnership with Timothy Weston, and then added 93 with captain Matthew Sinclair. Central Districts were finally all out for 335 on third day, and soon had Auckland reeling at 159 for 6 by stumps. Scott Styris’ 71 the previous day failed to inspire his team-mates as Brent Hefford ran through the Auckland lower order on day four. He finished with 3 for 48 as the opposition were dismissed for 203.Otago had to be content with first-innings points against Northern Districts in Dunedin. They restricted Northern Districts to 275 after opting to field. Kane Williamson’s 82 was the stand-out performance with the bat. The 18-year-old hit seven fours and a six in his 139-ball innings. Craig Cumming was the star during Otago’s turn to bat. His 72-run partnership with Neil Broom (54) helped the hosts finish just two runs ahead. Trent Boult picked up 5 for 53 – his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket. By the time Northern Districts came out to bat the second time, early on the fourth day, it was too late to force a result. Neil Wagner picked up 3 for 32 as the visitors finished on 181 for 7.

Wellington 1 1 0 00 0 8 2.772 428/8 386/20 Central Dist 1 1 0 00 0 8 1.337 548/20 410/20 Auckland 2 1 1 00 0 8 0.938 983/40 1048/40 Otago 1 0 0 01 0 2 1.147 277/9 456/17 Northern Dis 1 0 0 01 0 0 0.872 456/17 277/9 Canterbury 2 0 2 00 0 0 0.620 886/40 1001/28

The forthcoming India-Australia Test series is a refreshing antithesis to the recent trends in world cricket. There is a gradually increasing sense of anticipation around it that the shorter, and the more popular, forms of the game lose out on.The week leading up to the series, which can lay claims to have displaced the Ashes and India v Pakistan as the prime rivalry in Test cricket, has seen the anticipation gain more pace. Not for nothing is this series hyped, according to MS Dhoni. “The hype has a lot to do with what happened when they came to India [in 2004-05]: they did well here in the Test matches,” Dhoni said. “And again the hype was created when we went there and we played well.”There was a good game of cricket, and people expect that [again] and that’s why all the hype is created. Both are top-ranked teams and we are a side that play really well. We have really done well at home, people expect good, competitive cricket as well as some aggression on the field. That’s why there are so many expectations about an India-Australia series.”Dhoni said, though, that this was more than just a grudge series, notwithstanding what might have happened in the past. “Rather than getting desperate and wanting to settle scores out there, it is better to take it match by match, do our goals day by day and session by session, play consistent cricket over the five days,” he said. “It’s not about settling things because in that case you get desperate and that can affect your game.”That Australia have no established spinner in their side, and none of their bowlers have been involved in a Test in India before, should make the hosts the more favoured side going into the series, but Dhoni said they were not underestimating the Australians. “People are saying that [about the lack of experience in the Australian side], but the main thing is to play good cricket over a period of time,” he said. “It has nothing to do with either having experienced players in the side or not. Yes experience counts, but at the end of the day it’s all about being there on the field, putting your hand up and performing well. They have players who are talented.”On a personal front, Dhoni will be making a comeback to the Test team after he had opted out of the Sri Lanka series. And playing in Tests is a different feeling in many ways: for one, he doesn’t have to worry about captaining the side. “You don’t lose hair, there is less pressure, but as a wicketkeeper you have to assist the captain as you can give inputs,” he said at the end of the second day of the pre-series camp at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.At the camp today, the focus shifted from fitness and fielding to nets. The 13 players were divided into groups of seven and six, each comprising two pace bowlers and a spinner. The first ball of the session was bowled by Munaf Patel to Virender Sehwag; the two had an altercation in the recent Irani Cup match. They were opponents then, and team-mates now.The batsman went in twos: one faced the India bowlers, the other the nets bowlers on the adjoining strip, and then interchanged. Sehwag-Rahul Dravid, and VVS Laxman-Mohammad Kaif were the two batting pairs in the first session.After facing the bowlers, the pairs moved to the other set of nets where one of them faced the bowling machine, while the other, in the most interesting exercise of the day, had to pit their skills against tennis serves from the coach Gary Kirsten, after which they would interchange. Kirsten would literally serve a ball that looked like a tennis ball but was harder, the ball would either bounce awkwardly into the ribs or – if there was some slice put to it – swing away prodigiously.
