كشف الصحفي الإيطالي الموثوق فابرزيو رومانو أن نادي ليفربول يستعد للتحرك بقوة لضم مهاجم نيوكاسل، ألكسندر إيزاك، في ظل استعدادات إدارة الريدز لإعادة تشكيل خط الهجوم هذا الصيف.

ونجح ليفربول في ضم أكثر من صفقة لتدعيم خط الهجوم مثل فلوريان فيرتز وهوجو إيكتيكي القادمين من الدوري الألماني عن طريق ناديي باير ليفركوزن وآينتراخت فرانكفورت.

وقال رومانو في تصريحات عبر بودكاست “Here We Go”: “مع توقع رحيل داروين نونيز، فيديريكو كييزا ولويس دياز، يرغب ليفربول في إعادة بناء الهجوم بلاعبين مثل هوجو إيكيتيكي، الذي يمكنه اللعب كجناح، إلى جانب عناصر مبدعة مثل فلوريان فيرتز”.

وأشار إلى أن الإدارة ترى في إيزاك فرصة نادرة: “هم يؤمنون بأن ألكسندر يمثل فرصة مثالية تمامًا لتقديم شيء مميز للمدرب آرني سلوت، في بعض الأحيان، لا يتعلق الأمر بالتخطيط فقط، بل بالفرص التي يتيحها السوق، وليفربول يرى أن هذه هي لحظته لضم اللاعب، خاصة أن الأندية الأخرى ليست نشطة في هذا الملف”.

وأوضح رومانو أن المنافسة على الصفقة شبه غائبة حاليًا: “في الوقت الحالي، لا يوجد أي نادٍ ينافس ليفربول مباشرة، هذا لا يعني أن بقية الأندية لا تريده، لكن ببساطة، لا أحد منهم مستعد للتقدم بعرض”.

وتابع: “هذه فرصة كبيرة في السوق بالنسبة لنادي ليفربول، لديهم الإمكانية للقيام بخطوة كبيرة، ولا يريدون أن تضيع منهم”.

وفيما يتعلق بموقف اللاعب نفسه، أكد رومانو أن إيزاك منفتح تمامًا على فكرة الانضمام للريدز، بل ورفض عروضًا سعودية منذ بداية الميركاتو.

وقال: “اللاعب كان واضحًا جدًا مع الأندية السعودية في بداية فترة الانتقالات، لا يريد الانتقال إلى السعودية، مع كامل الاحترام لتلك البطولة، لكنه يرغب في البقاء بأوروبا، والتنافس على أعلى مستوى، من أجل الفوز بلقب دوري أبطال أوروبا والدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، لهذا السبب اختار ليفربول”.

واختتم رومانو مؤكدًا: “حتى هذه اللحظة، لا توجد أندية أخرى قريبة من حسم الصفقة، ليفربول هو النادي الوحيد الذي يملك فرصة حقيقية للتوقيع مع اللاعب”.

Kumble: Prasidh will be suited for venues where India go next

India allrounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the ODI World Cup due to the ankle injury he suffered against Bangladesh on October 19. Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna has replaced him in India’s squad.Pandya had injured himself last month when he appeared to twist his left ankle while trying to stop a shot in his follow-through during his first over against Bangladesh. He played no further part in that match and was taken for scans. ESPNcricinfo understands he suffered ligament damage and has been undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.Related

Prasidh, who has 29 wickets in 17 ODIs, last played for India in two ODIs against Australia during the series just before the World Cup. He took three wickets in those games and also took five wickets in as many matches for Karnataka in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.Prasidh had marked his return from a long layoff due to a stress fracture of the back when India toured Ireland in August and was also part of the Asia Cup squad, though he was largely on the bench and only played one game against Bangladesh.

Tough to digest the fact that I will miss out on the remaining part of the World Cup. I'll be with the team, in spirit, cheering them on every ball of every game.

As duas equipes se estudaram bastante no início do jogo. A melhor chance são-paulina saiu no finalzinho do primeiro tempo quando, depois da jogada pela esquerda, Pedro Bezerra acertou o chute rasteiro que saiu rente à trave direita.

O segundo tempo foi mais movimentado. No reinício, os garotos assustaram o Santos em chute de Enzo, que o goleiro conseguiu desviar. Pedrinho, pela esquerda, finalizou bem, a zaga mandou para escanteio. Outra boa oportunidade veio na cobrança de escanteio de Igor que Igão cabeceou à direita do gol.

O lateral-direito Igor, um dos destaques da partida, aos 17, mandou a bomba de longe, mas o goleiro conseguiu fazer o desvio. Apesar de se manter no campo de ataque, o gol não saiu.

O Tricolor soma agora 18 vitórias, quatro empates e apenas uma derrota na competição. Vazado somente oito vezes e sem sofrer gols há quatro partidas, a equipe tem a melhor defesa do campeonato e 63 gols somados.

O segundo e decisivo jogo acontece no próximo sábado (23), às 9h, na Arena Barueri. Para avançar à final e tentar o 16º título Paulista, os garotos de Cotia precisam vencer por qualquer placar. Novo empate leva a decisão da vaga para os pênaltis.

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  Liverpool have added Napoli striker Victor Osimhen to their list of attacking targets, reports The Mirror. The Nigerian, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, reportedly joins Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike and Newcastle United's Alexander Isak on the Reds' number nine wishlist.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Ekitike is understood to be valued at around £85 million ($116.5m), and Osimhen is said to have a £63m ($86.5m) release clause, while Isak could cost upwards of £100m. However, the report states that a new striker signing will only be possible if they sell players, with Darwin Nunez the most likely candidate.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Frankfurt chief Markus Krosche has already made it clear the German side will not be bullied in the transfer market when it comes to Ekitike.

  The club's CEO said: "If the price isn’t right, then he’ll simply stay with us. We don’t have to sell Hugo.”

  WHAT NEXT?

  Liverpool have already spent close to £200m on Bayer Leverkusen duo Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong this summer, along with Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez. But more big arrivals could be on the way as well for the Premier League champions.

Moving house can be a pain. But for Matthew Short it was one of the best life decisions he ever made.The most in-form batter in Australian domestic cricket right now, who made his international T20I and ODI debut recently, and was one negative Travis Head scan result away from being drafted into Australia’s World Cup squad, admits that just 18 months ago he was nearing a cricketing abyss.In the winter of 2022, Short had been a professional cricketer for Victoria for eight years. Aged 26, he had played 62 first-class innings and scored just one hundred. It was against England in a tour game for a Cricket Australia XI in 2017 against an attack featuring Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali, but it was the fourth day of a tame draw where only 24 wickets had fallen in a true warm-up game in Townsville ahead of an Ashes series.Related

He had zero Sheffield Shield centuries and was averaging just 30.38 in 55 innings. He had zero List A hundreds in 46 innings and zero T20 hundreds and just five fifties in 50 innings.But in 2023, he has scored six centuries across all formats: one in the BBL, two in the Marsh Cup and three in Sheffield Shield cricket. He was the BBL player of the tournament, played in the IPL, the Hundred and for Australia in white-ball cricket, all since moving closer to Victoria’s training facility at the Junction Oval in Melbourne.”I suppose probably 12-18 months ago, I was a little bit nowhere in terms of not putting as much effort into training,” Short said. “So I moved in closer to training and made a few sacrifices over the last few months. Really putting some emphasis on training and doing the extra stuff.”There was a bit more to it than that. But it is incredible that Short, now just shy of turning 28, after being a talented Australia Under-19, playing a youth World Cup, being selected in Cricket Australia development teams and consistently for Victoria, had not had that epiphany sooner.As a tall, powerful ball striker, with wonderful hand-eye coordination, a gifted catcher and very skillful offspin bowler, Short is almost the perfect package for the modern game. It is easy to see why he had so many games invested in him as a younger player without the pressure of having to perform for his place.But natural talent can only take you so far. His Victoria coach Chris Rogers has been a big proponent of asking his talented young players to “take the stairs and not the elevator” to get to the top echelon of Australian cricket. Short has done that through putting in more hours at training, but also coupling that with some better decision-making and mental skills out in the middle with the backing of both Rogers and his Adelaide Strikers coach Jason Gillespie.”Probably a lot of volume [training],” Short said. “Really trying to nail down on my game plan. But it’s more spending the extra time around recovery and stuff in the gym. Just really to get my body okay to play as much as I have over the last six to 12 months.”It’s [also] probably more the mental side of things. Both here at Victoria and the Strikers in Adelaide I’ve been given a lot of freedom from Bucky Rogers and Dizzy Gillespie. Just being able to bat my natural way. It’s pretty aggressive and I seem to be getting away with a bit now.”Extra responsibility has also helped. He has gone from an inconsistent rank-and-file member of both Victoria and Strikers to a senior player who is relied upon in both sides. At Strikers, his runscoring at the top of the order became vital in the absence of Alex Carey and Travis Head while he also had to bowl powerplay overs upfront.For Victoria last summer, Marcus Harris and Peter Handscomb’s absence due to Test duties and Nic Maddinson’s injury meant added responsibility. Short thrived with that on his shoulders. He then experienced the new challenge of being an overseas player at the top of the order for Punjab Kings in the IPL and Northern Superchargers in the Hundred.Matthew Short has been around the Australia camp in the last few months•Associated Press

Stepping back into Victoria colours last week after being away with Australia, including clubbing 66 off 30 balls in just his second T20I against South Africa, with his state side struggling early in the season, he was able to stand tall with back-to-back hundreds in Mackay against Queensland.”I think being an international player, albeit they were replacement player gigs, but to be that kind of player that teams rely on for scores or wickets or whatever it is, to have that kind of extra pressure on you, I think that’s been good to bring back to Victoria,” Short said. “I think the last few years we’ve relied heavily on one or two players, whether it be Marcus Harris or Pete Handscomb, Scotty Boland. It’s nice to be able to think of myself as someone that the team relies on to score runs and help set up some victories.”His bowling too has developed with the help of Victoria spin coach Craig Howard, who has been a vital part of Todd Murphy’s development into becoming a Test offspinner. Short suddenly looms as a triple-threat in all three forms.With Australia’s white-ball teams about to hit a transition phase, he is well aware his purple patch could not have come at a better time. But looking beyond that there are subcontinental Test tours that loom for Australia in Sri Lanka in early 2025 and India in early 2027 where Short’s skillset would make him an asset.”You never know,” Short said. “Based off my last six months I think anything can happen. If you keep putting performances on the board at the right time, this sort of time in Australian cricket, there might be a few changes coming up. I think it’s just all about timing. I’m not really thinking about it too much, whether it’s white-ball or red-ball, but if I can keep performing and trying to win games for Victoria then who knows what’ll happen.”His immediate task is to get past New South Wales and a returning Nathan Lyon at the MCG starting on Thursday as Victoria try to rebound after consecutive innings defeats in the Sheffield Shield to start the year. They look set to welcome back Will Pucovski who rested the trip to Queensland.”He seems in good spirits,” Short said. “I’m looking forward to playing with him.”

New Zealand have a stellar record against India in ICC events having lost just one game since 1992

Ashish Pant21-Oct-2023

Big picture: Here comes India’s bogey team Ask any ardent Indian fan which is their second-favourite cricket team, and New Zealand will remain a common answer. Ask the same set of fans which team spooks them the most when it comes to ICC events: New Zealand will once again be the unanimous reply. Why you ask.Southampton 2021. Nagpur 2016 and Dubai 2021. Manchester 2019.It’s probably the memories of the last one here that has most Indian fans flinch. And as much as India would like to deny it, New Zealand have been their bogey team over the years. There are numbers to back this up. In all ICC events since 1992 (considering only the final from the WTC 2019-21 and 2021-23 cycles), India have beaten New Zealand just once in nine attempts.Which is why when these two teams meet in Dharamsala on Sunday, it won’t be group stage game: there will be a bit of history riding on it. Also the fact that at the end of the clash, one team will no longer remain unbeaten in the competition.Both New Zealand and India have been clinical in their approach and come into the game having won four out of four games. Who continues their winning streak? The answer might well depend on how the fast bowlers go.Related

How will India fill the Hardik Pandya hole against New Zealand?

Matt Henry among the best, and has got better – the numbers show it

As much as the Dharamsala stadium is about the stunning snow-capped mountains of the Dhauladhar range in the backdrop, it is also about the altitude. And with that altitude comes the help for the quicks. Of all the venues that have so far hosted more than one game at the World Cup, Dharamsala – alongside Lucknow – has offered the fast bowlers the most amount of swing in the first ten overs of each innings.Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj become a key component in the Indian attack. They will miss Hardik Pandya, but if Mohammed Shami comes in, he is one bowler, who is certain to extract early movement with that upright seam.While India’s attack seems more well-rounded, the New Zealand unit has been equally good. Their class of 2019 is very much intact with all of Matt Henry, Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson having started the tournament well. On the spin front, Mitchell Santner leads the wicket-taking charts with 11 strikes at 15.09.The batters across both sides have been in impeccable form. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Devon Conway are No. 2, 3 and 4 on the run charts, while the middle order also has been firing. Can they find a way to score big with the ball hooping around?Mohammed Siraj has been up and down at this World Cup•Pankaj Nangia/Getty

Form guide: Whose winning streak ends?India: WWWWL (last five completed ODIs, most recent first)
New Zealand: WWWWWIn the spotlight: Mohammed Siraj and Matt Henry Mohammed Siraj hasn’t looked at his best so far in the World Cup. In four games, Siraj has managed only five wickets at 42.40. He’s also leaked runs at 6.32 an over. But if there is one venue that will give him a chance to improve on those numbers, it is Dharamsala. Siraj is one of the few bowlers going around who can get the ball to deck both ways. In Dharamsala, though, his wobble-seam deliveries might be the ones New Zealand will have to be most careful against. Siraj has had a dream 2023 in ODIs and will hope India’s next game is where he turns his World Cup around.The Boults and the Southees often hog the limelight when the New Zealand fast bowling battery is spoken of but in the last two years, it has been Matt Henry, who has really been their shining light. No other New Zealand bowler has more wickets than Henry’s 41 in 24 ODIs since the start of 2022. But, it’s the way he has led the attack in the World Cup, which has been impressive. He’s outshone Boult and Lockie Ferguson, kept Tim Southee out of the team and picked up wickets when it’s mattered all while maintaining an economy of 4.83. He is currently fourth on the wicket-takers list with nine in four games at 18.00. A good game and he could zoom right to the top.Team news: Who comes in for Pandya?Pandya has been ruled out of the Dharamsala game after hurting his right ankle against Bangladesh on Thursday. The million-dollar question is who replaces him. Rahul Dravid wasn’t forthcoming about the changes, but talked about a few options they considered. There is a chance that India bring in Suryakumar Yadav or Ishan Kishan in place of Hardik and have Shardul Thakur tussle with Shami for the No. 8 spot.India (probable): 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Shreyas Iyer, 5 KL Rahul (wk), 6 Ravindra Jadeja, 7 Suryakumar Yadav/Ishan Kishan, 8 Shardul Thakur/Mohammed Shami, 9 Jasprit Bumrah, 10 Kuldeep Yadav, 11 Mohammed SirajMatt Henry has been excellent across all phases of the innings for New Zealand•AFP/Getty Images

With the New Zealand attack firing like they have, Southee might have to spend some more in the sheds. Kane Williamson is still out with a thumb injury, so it is unlikely New Zealand will make any changes to the team.New Zealand (probable): 1 Devon Conway, 2 Will Young, 3 Rachin Ravindra, 4 Tom Latham (capt & wk), 5 Daryl Mitchell, 6 Glenn Phillips, 7 Mark Chapman, 8 Mitchell Santner, 9 Matt Henry, 10 Lockie Ferguson, 11 Trent BoultPitch and conditions: Beware the quicksThe surface looked very green on the eve of the game but a lot of that grass is likely to be shaved off before the start. Even then expect pace and carry for the fast bowlers. It was bright and sunny on the eve of the match, but it is expected to be cloudy and cooler on Sunday with the temperature likely to hover around the 18-degree mark on the Celsius scale at the start of the game.Stats and trivia: All eyes on GillThe captain winning the toss has elected to bowl in each of the seven ODIs played in Dharamsala.Shubman Gill needs 14 runs to reach the 2000 mark in ODIs. If he gets there tomorrow, in his 38th innings, he will be the quickest to 2000 runs in ODI cricket. beating Hashim Amla’s (40) record. Rohit has fallen to Boult four times in 13 ODI innings and averages just 22.25 against him.Tom Latham has five fifties and two centuries in 20 ODI innings against IndiaQuotes”It’s nice to have Ishan [Kishan] playing well, being a left hander. But Surya’s [Suryakumar Yadav] also come into some form against Australia. He played a couple of fantastic innings. Absolutely fantastic player against spin – left-arm spin, right-arm spin, any kind of spin for that matter. And the role maybe for a middle-overs role. We’re pretty clear about the kinds of roles we want to play. If we’re looking for someone who looks to be a bit of an enforcer for us in the lower-middle order, and Surya’s certainly someone who can do it. If we’re looking for someone higher up the order, we might go with Ishan.”
“India’s top order has been fantastic this tournament and again, our bowling attack has done a really good job upfront as well. That’s going to be a great contest with bat and ball and obviously vice-versa with Indian seamers and our top order. Obviously, you look at the match-ups throughout a game against both sides and there is some pretty good match-ups there.”
