وقال صلاح سليمان، في تصريحات لبرنامج “لعبة والتانية”، مع كريم رمزي، على إذاعة “ميجا إف إم”: “الأهلي شرف مصر واستعجلت في الحكم على ريبيرو، هاجمته لكن في لقاء بورتو أكد لي أنه ذكي جدًا، وجعل شكل زيزو جيدًا في الملعب، إضافة إلى أن تحركات بن رمضان وبن شرقي مميزة”.
وتابع: “بن رمضان أفضل لاعب أعجبني في الأهلي، وكذلك وسام وتريزيجيه ومروان عطية وحمدي فتحي، لكني لم أر أمورًا فنية مختلفة لزيزو حتى الآن مع الأهلي”.
وعن الزمالك، أضاف: “الزمالك يحتاج صفقات مميزة 5 أو 6 وتكون في مراكز يحتاجها الفريق، ومحمد شريف صفقة مميزة للزمالك حال انضمامه ومختلف عن ناصر منسي والجزيري، (الفينيش) أفضل وممكن أن تبني خطة عليه في الهجمة المرتدة وتحركاته رائعة وأتوقع ينضم للمنتخب”.
وكشف: “هناك أمر جيد في الزمالك، وهو أن لا أحد يعرف شيئًا عن الصفقات، ولا توجد تسريبات، وأتمنى رؤية الزمالك في كأس العالم للاندية 2029، والأمر يحتاج إلى تعب وجهد”.
O Palmeiras venceu o Internacional por 2 a 1, no último domingo, e manteve sua vantagem na liderança do Brasileirão-2022, mesmo com o cansaço falando mais alto. No entanto, o time acaba de entrar em uma rara semana livre da temporada antes das partidas diante do Ceará, pelo campeonato nacional, e do Atlético-MG, pela Liberta.

Para iniciar esse período peculiar, a comissão técnica deu dois dias de folga para o elenco do Verdão. Não é à toa, faz quase dois meses que a equipe não tem essa semana livre em seu calendário. A última delas foi entre o fim de maio e o começo de agosto, entre a oitava e a nona rodada do Brasileiro (jogos contra Santos e Atlético-MG). Assim, a ideia é usar da melhor forma possível esse descanso alviverde.
-Vou ficar maluco. Nem sei o que fazer, vai parecer um mês. Vamos descansar, precisamos descansar física e mentalmente por que é tudo muito desgastante. Voltamos na quarta-feira prontos para continuar a nossa caminhada. Vai ser dura, difícil. Há muitos candidatos à mesma cadeira, é procurar em cada treino nos preparar para os jogos seguintes – disse Abel Ferreira no último domingo.
O espaço nessa agenda apertada do Palmeiras se dá por conta de um raro fracasso do time na temporada, já que ficou fora das quartas de final da Copa do Brasil ao ser eliminado pelo São Paulo na fase anterior. Será essa competição a ser disputada durante esta semana, e isso permitirá com que o elenco palmeirense tenha esse fôlego.
Na próxima quarta-feira, às 11h, o Verdão volta a treinar na Academia de Futebol para se preparar para o duelo com o Ceará, no sábado, às 16h30, no Castelão. Serão mais dois dias de treino antes do duelo do fim de semana: um na quinta e outro na sexta, ambos às 11h. Logo após a última atividade da semana, a delegação viaja para Fortaleza.

Century on debut powers new team to record-equalling 334 for 5 and 131-run win

South East Stars 334 for 5 (Scholfield 111, Davidson-Richards 73, Chathli 48) beat Thunder 203 (Dottin 51, Davies 3-27) by 131 runsA debut century by Paige Scholfield propelled South East Stars to a record-equalling 334 for five in a convincing 131-run victory against Thunder in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy opener at Emirates Old Trafford.Scholfield, playing her first game for the Stars after signing from Southern Vipers, blasted 111 from just 90 balls, hitting five sixes and 11 fours, as she helped add 143 off 115 balls for the fourth wicket with Alice Davidson-Richards who contributed a classy 73.The Stars’ total equalled the highest score made in just over three seasons of regional cricket and the Thunder never threatened to chase down the required runs as they were bowled out for 203 in 42 overs.The first half of the Stars’ innings had been a fairly even contest on a good wicket with wicketkeeper-batter Kira Chathli and Ryana Macdonald-Gay steadily compiling an opening partnership of 52 until the latter was bowled for 18 by a big inswinging delivery from Deandra Dottin, the former West Indies all-rounder who has returned to Thunder for a second season.Chathli perished for 48 after driving left arm spinner Alex Hartley to Kate Cross at mid-on, and when Stars’ skipper Bryony Smith swept leg spinner Liv Thomas into the hands of Fi Morris on the midwicket boundary for a hard-hitting 35 off 31 balls, the game was finely poised with Stars 130 for three in the 27th over.Scholfield injected immediate impetus into the visitors innings hitting three of her first six deliveries to the boundary and she received great support from Davidson-Richards who paced her innings expertly as their alliance blossomed.The pair pounced on anything bowled short or wide to reach a 56-ball fifty partnership while their century stand arrived from only 92 balls with the under-pressure Thunder not helping their cause by dropping Scholfield on 63 and Davidson-Richards on 48 as the runs flowed.Davidson-Richards had struck two sixes and eight fours before eventually departing for 73 to a fine catch at long leg by Thomas off Tara Norris in the 46th over but Schofield went on to reach a fabulous century from 85 balls and was undefeated on 111 when the innings ended.Thunder used eight bowlers in an attempt to stem the flood of runs as the Stars hammered 132 from the final 10 overs, with Cross the pick of the home attack conceding 45 off her 10.Thunder needed a positive start to their challenging run chase but instead lost England opener Emma Lamb caught behind by Chathli off Phoebe Franklin for six and Scholfield then added to her great day by nipping one back to bowl Morris for 18.Not to be outdone, Davidson-Richards produced a seaming delivery of her own to bowl Ellie Threlkeld for 14 to leave Thunder 68 for three in the 19th over.Naomi Dattani made a steady 33 until trapped lbw by Dani Gregory before the afternoon was enlivened by some big hitting from Dottin who reached her maiden Thunder fifty off 37 balls before skying a steepling catch that was well judged by Scholfield – who else? – off Gregory for 51.From 143 for five the Thunder innings fell away quickly from that point with Freya Davies (three for 27) picking up a trio of wickets and MacDonald-Gay two, as the Stars clinched victory with eight overs to spare.
Nat Sciver-Brunt dominant with bat and ball in crushing win

The Blaze maintained their 100% record in the Charlotte Edwards Cup as a crushing defeat of Sunrisers saw them clinch a direct route to the final at Worcester next Saturday with England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt starring with bat and ball at a sun-drenched Trent Bridge.Sciver-Brunt smashed 58 from 30 balls and took 2 for 16 as winless Sunrisers were bowled out for 114 in reply to the Blaze’s 198 for 6, giving the east midlands side a bonus-point victory to make their position as group leaders unassailable, meaning they avoid the semi-final eliminator at Finals Day.England team-mates Sarah Glenn, with 43 not out from 29 balls and two wickets for just nine runs from her legbreaks, and Tammy Beaumont (41 from 30) delivered as well, with overseas player Nadine de Klerk boosting her tally to 13 as the competition’s leading wicket-taker, the South African taking 2 for 10 from three overs, strike bowler Sophie Munro grabbing 2 for 18.Eva Gray, Kate Coppack and Abtaha Maqsood picked up two wickets each for the Sunrisers, for whom England Under-19 captain Grace Scrivens top-scored with 20.Opting to bat first, the Blaze lost Sarah Bryce – Friday’s matchwinner against Northern Diamonds with 67 from 43 balls – for effectively a first-ball duck after she inside-edged Gray on to her stumps, having watched two leg-side deliveries called as wides. Otherwise, the powerplay could hardly have been more one-sided as Beaumont and Sciver-Brunt peppered a fully-extended Trent Bridge boundary as first on the card in a double-header ahead of Notts Outlaws’ meeting Lancashire Lightning.They powered the Blaze to 77 for 1 from the opening six overs, a team record not only under their new identity but as Lightning and Loughborough Lightning too.Sciver-Brunt completed her second Blaze half-century and looked in the mood for more as she and Beaumont added 102 in 53 balls for the second wicket, but after sweeping Maqsood’s legspin for her first six, perished attempting a repeat, finding deep square leg, Blaze reaching halfway at 112 for 2.A fine over from Coppack then changed the tone of the innings as the right-arm seamer had Beaumont leg before sweeping and dismissed Marie Kelly by the same method as the right-hander swung across the line for a second-ball duck. It took three lean overs before Glenn rediscovered the tempo with three boundaries in the same Jo Gardner over as the Blaze moved to 149 for 4 from 15.Maqsood picked up a second wicket as Georgie Boyce was stumped but Glenn, who survived difficult chances on 29 and 40 on the way a career-best score in this format, added 35 in 21 balls with de Klerk before the South African top-edged Gray to mid-off, helping Blaze post the third-highest total in the competition this season.It put Sunrisers under scoreboard pressure from the start and though 46 runs in the powerplay was respectable they came at a cost of three important wickets as Mady Villiers chipped Glenn’s legspin straight to mid-off, Alice Macleod was pinned in front by Sciver-Brunt and South African Dane Van Niekerk top-edged to cover in the same over.At 64 for 4, southeast regional side Sunrisers were well behind the required rate at the halfway stage and seen Amara Carr depart to Glenn as skipper Kirstie Gordon took a good catch running round from midwicket.Three wickets in the space of five balls hastened the inevitable Blaze win as Florence Miller was run out at the non-striker’s end before de Klerk took two in three balls to remove Gardner leg before and Scrivens, the England Under-19 captain, who batted nicely before skying one to midwicket.Grace Ballinger had Gray caught at short fine leg before Coppack and Kelly Castle held things up, adding 28 in a little under five overs before Munro bowled both in the final over.

Liverpool have been in contact to sign a new defender who has been compared to both Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.
Van Dijk and Konate linked with Liverpool exits
Despite being on course to win the Premier League in Arne Slot’s first season in charge, many have predicted a busy summer of transfer activity at Anfield, including former defender Jamie Carragher. Speaking recently, Carragher believes Liverpool need to sign “at least five” players ahead of the 2025/26 season.
“I’m excited to see where Arne Slot will take Liverpool because it looks like they’re going to win the league, but there are still so many areas to improve. He needs a centre-back as back-up to the two that we have, he’ll need a right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold likely to leave.
“I think he needs a centre midfielder to replace Endo, someone younger and that he trusts, a centre-forward to play and a left-winger. There are at least five or six players he needs to get in – three to go straight in the team and three to be strong back-ups.”
Better than Isak: The "best CF in the world" wants to sign for Liverpool
Liverpool are planning to make changes to Slot’s frontline this summer.
2 ByAngus Sinclair Mar 24, 2025
Alongside incomings, there could be a number of outgoings, with Van Dijk yet to commit his future to the Reds and on course to be out of contract in the summer.
The Dutch defender’s partner Konate has also been linked with Real Madrid in a potential £50m transfer, meaning centre-back reinforcements could be desperately needed.
A number of centre-backs have been named as Liverpool targets, including Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck. A bid worth more than £40m was reportedly being readied by the Reds, who view him as a potential replacement for Van Dijk.
Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi is also believed to be of interest to Liverpool, with a £50m offer already being made, according to claims last month. However, not every defensive target at Anfield will cost mega money, and one could arrive for free over the coming months.
Liverpool make contact for Bayer Leverkusen Jonathan Tah
According to a report from Spain, Liverpool have initiated contact over a move to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah this summer.
The Reds are looking to take advantage of the fact that Tah has decided to leave Leverkusen after 10 years on a free transfer at the end of the season when his contract ends.
However, top-flight rivals Tottenham have also made an approach for the 29-year-old and Bayern Munich are lurking too. Barcelona meanwhile had even looked set to sign Tah, but the economic uncertainty at the Nou Camp means the Germany international could be on the way to England instead.

O atleta falou sobre a situação de Igor Gomes com a torcida são-paulina. Os dois foram criados na base da equipe. Porém, diferente do lateral-esquerdo, o meia sofre uma pressão maior dos torcedores.
Isso ficou explícito no último sábado (6), quando o Tricolor foi derrotado pelo Flamengo, por 2 a 0. A partida foi válida pelo Campeonato Brasileiro.
Ao ser substituído no segundo tempo por Rodriguinho, Igor Gomes deixou o estádio do Morumbi – palco do jogo – sob fortes vaias da torcida. O jogador chegou até a ser defendido por Rogério Ceni durante a coletiva de imprensa.
– Eu já saí vaiado do Pacaembu por todo mundo. É parte da vida quando você se expõe publicamente, quando as notícias vão afetando o torcedor, pode acontecer uma vaia. O importante é que eles tenham cabeça boa, não desistam, nós não vamos desistir de ninguém até o fim do ano. São esses jogadores que encerram o ano, se não houver mais vendas – disse Rogério Ceni na ocasião.
Welington saiu em defesa ao seu companheiro de equipe. De acordo com ele, mesmo com as críticas, Igor Gomes consegue se manter tranquilo e com uma mentalidade forte.
– O Igor tem uma mentalidade muito avançada. Penso comigo mesmo, por ser jovem, ele se mantém bem tranquilo. É um baita jogador, acho que ele já demonstrou isso. Não só para mim, mas para todos. É normal do jogador – disse.
O lateral ainda destacou que se trata de um atleta de qualidade. Conforme suas palavras, se não fosse este o caso, o meia não vestiria a camisa do Tricolor.
– Tem vez que não via bem, mas tenho certeza que a cada jogo ele demonstra isso e sobre o porquê está no São Paulo. Se ele não tivesse capacidade, não estaria no São Paulo. Então, no vestiário é bem tranquilo. Não tem porque não dar força para ele, é um moleque do bem – concluiu.

New revenue-distribution model sees Indian board earning close to US$ 230 million a year, while no other Full Member has a percentage share in double digits
Nagraj Gollapudi and Osman Samiuddin13-Jul-2023
The BCCI will take home nearly 40% of ICC’s annual net earnings•BCCI
The ICC board has approved a revamped revenue-distribution model which will see the BCCI take home nearly 40% of the ICC’s annual net earnings in the next four-year commercial cycle from. The BCCI will earn close to US$ 230 million annually from 2024 to 2027 – or 38.5% of ICC’s approximate annual earning of US$ 600 million – while none of the other 11 Full Members have a share in double digits in terms of percentage. The 90-plus Associate Members will share approximately US$ 67.5 million per year.ESPNcricinfo had reported on the expected revamp in May, and it has now received the approval of the ICC board, which met in Durban on Thursday, the final day of the global body’s AGM.The distribution model remains mostly the same, though there is a tweak to the draft model that will see an increase in revenues of about US$ 1 million per year for a middle band of five full members: CSA, SLC, BCB, NZC and CWI. The biggest earners in the new model after the BCCI are the ECB, CA and the PCB.Though some boards – lead among them the PCB – had initially raised questions about the workings underpinning the model, it was always expected that the absolute increase in revenues across all Full Members (rather than the percentage shares) would keep those objections from becoming disruptive. A change in the PCB’s leadership since then has also played a part.The new model was developed originally by an ICC team and then worked on by the governing body’s finance and commercial affairs (F&CA) committee. It was first shared with members at an ICC board meeting in March though only some details of the model were revealed then, including the criteria by which each Full Member would be graded when the distribution was calculated. The paper detailing the proposed model was circulated to the Full Members and board directors thereafter.The criteria – “component weightings”, as they are called in the model – are: cricket history; performance in both men’s and women’s ICC events over the last 16 years; contribution to the ICC’s commercial revenue; and an equal weightage for the status of being a Full MemberMuch of this comes from the primer drafted nine years ago by the Big Three. Back then, another F&CA working group (led by the BCCI, ECB and CA) drafted a “position paper” detailing a proposed revamp of the ICC’s administration and distribution of its earnings. A major focus of that paper was the distribution costs – the revenue each member would receive – through a graded percentage share, worked out by a “marked scoreboard method”. That scoreboard was also based on four parameters: revenue contributed to the ICC, historical membership with the ICC, on-field performance over past 20 years in men’s and women’s competitions, and domestic development performance.There are, however, slight differences in this proposed model. Here, every Full Member starts on equal footing, listed to receive an 8.3% share for being a Full Member. But the “effective percentage” each will receive ultimately is based on an average weightage of all four criteria and it quickly changes based on the other three parameters. The key criterion is the commercial value each board brings to the global pot, which is where the scales tilt heavily in favour of the BCCI.This model gives a commercial weightage of 85.3% to the BCCI. Although the document that ESPNcricinfo had seen doesn’t explain how this is worked out, this percentage is in the ballpark of a commonly cited figure, which says that the Indian cricket economy contributes anywhere between 70-80% of the total cricket economy. That approximate figure is bolstered by the nature of the ICC’s next media rights deal which, over four years, is believed to be second only to the IPL in cricket. Its value is considerably greater than the $2.1 billion (approximately) the ICC got (from around the world, not just India) from the previous rights cycle, which ran over eight and not four years (2015-2023).The ICC decided to sell this batch of media rights in different territories globally in the 2024-31 cycle in order to maximise and exploit the commercial value of its world events. The value of the rights in India alone (just over $3 billion) towers over other territories, especially two key markets in the UK and USA. In the UK and Ireland, Sky Sports inked a direct deal with ICC for eight years (2024-31) with an estimated value understood to be close to $260 million. Willow TV secured the four-year rights to broadcast ICC events in the USA and Canada for an undisclosed sum, but it is believed the number fell well short of the expectations the ICC had.The overall figure from rights will be higher ultimately, because it doesn’t yet include the sponsorship and commercial revenues the ICC will generate from the global events, which could go up by another $1 billion-plus.
