Afridi six top of the pack

These are the five performances that have made the ESPNcricinfo awards shortlist for ODI bowling performances of 2009

Cricinfo staff18-Feb-2010Three series-winning performances, and two inspired efforts that derailed Australia comprise the ODI bowling shortlist of 2009 for the ESPNcricinfo awards. Pace and spin both feature prominently in the nominations, four of which are hauls of five wickets or more and also include a hat-trick.Shahid Afridi bagged the second best figures in 2009, taking 6 for 38 in Dubai in an uncharacteristic Australian collapse, where eight wickets fell for 27. The display won Pakistan the game, though the series was eventually lost. Harbhajan Singh’s 5 for 56 in the Compaq Cup in Colombo, in the wake of a blistering reply by Sri Lanka’s batsmen in their chase, ended India’s long struggle in tournament finals.The fast bowlers had three representatives, leading with Andrew Flintoff, whose hat-trick against West Indies, part of his career-best 5 for 19, won England their first ODI series in the Caribbean. Doug Bollinger had made a mark in only his second ODI, grabbing a five-for against Pakistan, but his 5 for 35 in Guwahati against India sealed a memorable series victory for Australia after they had been 1-2 down. And finally, Kyle Mills inflicted on Australia what they rarely experience at home, bowling them out for 181, their lowest in the country that year, while taking 4 for 35 in conditions favourable for batting.The top five were drawn on basis of votes from a 14-member jury that includes some of the leading cricket experts in the world and Cricinfo’s senior editors.A departure from the usual year-end awards looking at overall performances, ESPNCricinfo’s honours are in two categories: a jury-based award looking at the year’s best batting and bowling performances and a stats-based award using numbers from Cricinfo’s extensive database. The winners for all the awards will be announced on February 19.

Wolves predicted XI vs Sheffield United

Following on from their impressive 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League last Monday, Wolves are in FA Cup action this afternoon with a clash against Championship side Sheffield United at Molineux. 

With Wolves having the likes of Jonny Otto, Pedro Neto, Yerson Mosquera and Hwang Hee-chan out injured and Romain Saiss away on international duty getting ready to take part in the Africa Cup of Nations, Bruno Lage will have to make do without several members of his senior squad.

On the other hand, with Wolves recently recalling Dion Sanderson and Ryan Giles from their respective loan deals in the Championship and securing a deal for Japanese midfielder Hayao Kawabe, these players could feature prominently today.

Taking all this into account, here’s how we feel Wolves could line up for their FA Cup clash against the Blades. We anticipate as many as seven changes from the side which started in the win at Old Trafford.

In goal, even though Jose Sa has kept eight clean sheets in his 19 Premier League appearances this season, we think Lage will take him out of the team on this occasion and give John Ruddy the chance to play.

In a back three, we can see the familiar duo of Conor Coady and Max Kilman starting, but with the recently-recalled Sanderson coming in for the absent Saiss to see if he can impress the manager and convince him that he deserves to be in the squad on a regular basis.

For the wing-back positions, on the right we think Lage will drop Nelson Semedo and give Ki-Jana Hoever a runout, with Rayan Ait-Nouri coming back in on the left after being on the bench against the Red Devils.

In the two central midfield positions, it’s entirely possible that Lage gives Monday’s match-winning hero Joao Moutinho a rest to save him for their next league outing against Southampton, with Leander Dendoncker coming in to take his place next to Ruben Neves.

With the front three, we can see Lage bringing in Adama Traore and Fabio Silva for Francisco Trincao and Raul Jimenez, who is currently earning £100k-per-week according to Salary Sport but is without a goal in his last six games, in order to freshen up the attack next to Daniel Podence.

Bielsa handed huge Leeds injury boost

Leeds United have been handed an encouraging injury boost ahead of their return to Premier League action this weekend…

What’s the word?

Marcelo Bielsa’s first-choice left-back Junior Firpo has confirmed his availability for the Whites’ second trip to West Ham United in a week on Sunday afternoon.

The 25-year-old was withdrawn early with what appeared to be a concussion during their FA Cup clash last weekend. He had collided with teammate Illan Meslier in the first half and was soon replaced by Cody Dramah after the break.

However, despite the knock, the defender has revealed he has recovered already to BBC Radio Leeds (via LeedsLive). He said:

“I’m good, I’m good. We’ve just followed the protocols about this type of thing (concussion). I’m fit and okay to play on Sunday. Yeah it happened in the [collision with Illan Meslier]. Minutes later I felt a little bit dizzy and in this condition, you cannot play a game in this level because it’s difficult.”

Huge boost

This will come as a huge relief to Marcelo Bielsa and co as the last thing he or anyone at Leeds needs is yet another absentee.

Injuries have been piling up all season and the Yorkshiremen cannot afford to lose another key player, having already been without the likes of skipper Liam Cooper, midfield lynchpin Kalvin Phillips and leading talisman Patrick Bamford.

Bielsa does not really have a back-up at left-back, so Firpo is the only senior option, barring someone like Pascal Struijk – who is also injured – or Stuart Dallas playing out of position there.

After an inconsistent start to life at Elland Road, the former Barcelona man has put in some solid displays, including one against Chelsea, where he thwarted England international Reece James before putting in his best performance of the season against Burnley.

At one point, Bielsa was staring down the barrel of having as many as 11 first-team stars unavailable heading into their second clash against the Irons this week, so to have Firpo fit is certainly positive news.

A surely relieved Bielsa and the fans must be delighted by this update.

Após empate, Elano valoriza jovens da base: 'São bons e tentaram'

MatériaMais Notícias

O técnico Elano segue apostando em Yuri Alberto, Rodrygo e Emerson para a próxima temporada. O trio ganhou a chance e atuou no empate por 1 a 1, contra o Avaí, neste domingo, na Vila Belmiro.

Os três entraram no segundo tempo, mas apenas Rodrygo se destacou. Além da agilidade, uma de suas maiores características, roubou algumas bolas.

– Criamos muitas oportunidades, mas faltou entrar. Estávamos treinando, e coloquei os meninos por confiar muito neles. São dois meninos de 16 anos e o Emerson de 19, eu coloco sem medo. Não por eu achar que são ‘bonitinhos’, mas por achar que são bons, e eles tentaram. Foi uma dedicação muito grande – defendeu o treinador.

'Stop overkill of cricket on TV' – Sangakkara

Kumar Sangakkara, the Sri Lankan captain, has called for several changes to increase the popularity of five-day cricket, including paying Test players significantly more

Cricinfo staff11-Mar-2010Kumar Sangakkara, the Sri Lanka captain, has called for several changes to increase the popularity of five-day cricket, including paying Test players significantly more and not broadcasting the game in the city hosting the game until a large crowd turns up at the ground. Speaking on Cricinfo’s video show , Sangakkara also said every country should have an iconic series like the Ashes to draw spectators to the stadiums.There has been plenty of talk over the decline of Tests, but Sangakkara said it was premature to write the format’s obituary. “Everyone is talking about Test cricket dying. Maybe we are pre-empting its death and trying to kill it before its time,” he said. “When it comes to players, they value playing the five-day version a lot more than they do any other version.”With a lot more money on offer in lucrative Twenty20 leagues such as the IPL, he stated that salaries of Test specialists should be hiked substantially. “Paying a match fee for playing a Test match that is 10% more than for a Twenty20, or a one-day game or 50% more doesn’t cut it,” he said. “Test cricket should be given its premium position by paying a premium amount for players who play only Test cricket sometimes.”Test cricket is packing stadiums only in England and a handful of cities over the world, something which Sangakkara felt could change if there were changes in way television broadcasted the game. “Stop overkill of cricket on television. We can’t have 24-hour cricket channels and still expect people to come and watch it at the ground,” he said. “Not telecasting the match to a particular city until they have an acceptable crowd at the ground [as they do in Australia is the right thing to do].”The Ashes have been one series which have been extremely well attended, with many grounds being sold out in advance, which indicated the way forward for Tests, according to Sangakkara. “Have iconic Test series for every country, like the Ashes for England and Australia. Have one for India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka – it draws the crowds to the grounds.”There have been plenty of exciting Test matches over the past few years, including the memorable South African victory in Australia, England hanging on to nail-biting draws in three Tests, and India retaining the No. 1 ranking after a win with nine deliveries to spare in Kolkata last month in the face of a Hashim Amla masterclass. Sangakkara said players must dish out exciting cricket to gets fans to show up. “We have to accept the fact that we play because we are watched, we are entertainers – we can call ourselves gladiators,” he said. “At the end of the day we entertain and we like to play in front of a crowd. To get the crowd we have to be responsible enough to play entertaining cricket.”He also spoke of his team’s ambitions to correct some of the blots in Sri Lanka’s Test record, such as their record against Australia and their performances on tours to India. “We want to win against Australia, we want to beat India in India. Those are the things we talk about as players, and these opportunities don’t come if we don’t play Test cricket,” he said. “If Test cricket is going to be relegated as the third format of the game, behind Twenty20 and one-day cricket, then I think it will be a very sad day for cricket.”

كاراجر: هالاند يقدم الآن ما حققه محمد صلاح في موسمه الأول مع ليفربول

يرى جيمي كاراجر، النجم السابق لفريق ليفربول، أن محمد صلاح كان يؤدي في موسمه الأول مع الريدز، مثلما يفعل إيرلينج هالاند مع مانشستر سيتي في الوقت الحالي.

وكان محمد صلاح قد تألق بشكل أكثر من رائع مع ليفربول، في الموسم الأول عند انتقاله إلى الأنفيلد قادمًا من روما في صيف 2017.

وسجل محمد صلاح في موسم 2017/18، 44 هدفًا في مختلف المسابقات، من ضمنها 32 هدفًا في الدوري الإنجليزي، ليُعد اللاعب الأكثر تسجيلًا للأهداف في موسم واحد في البطولة.

ويعاني محمد صلاح من قلة الأهداف، في الدوري الإنجليزي تحديدًا هذا الموسم، حيث لم يسجل إلا هدفين.

في حين أن إيرلينج هالاند تمكن من تسجيل 15 هدفًا حتى الآن، في البريميرليج، حيث يتصدر قائمة الهدافين.

ويلتقي ليفربول مع مانشستر سيتي، يوم الأحد المقبل، في قمة منافسات الجولة الحادية عشر من البطولة على ملعب “الأنفيلد”.

وقال كاراجر في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “سكاي سبورتس” العالمية: “ليس لدي مشكلة مع محمد صلاح الآن، ينظر الكثير من الناس إلى موقعه الفعلي، فهل يتواجد في مواقع تهديف كافية؟”.

وأضاف: “حسنًا، لا أعتقد أن كلوب قد غير دوره، فهو لم يجد نفسه في مواقع خطيرة بالقدر نفسه”.

وواصل: “الناس يستجوبون صلاح، لكنه وضع معاييره، بينما نتحدث عن هالاند هذا الموسم، كان ذلك صلاح في موسمه الأول، يجب ألا ننسى أنه سجل 25 إلى 30 هدفًا كل موسم وأعتقد أنه سيقترب من ذلك مرة أخرى”.

وأردف: “لكن من الصعب على أي لاعب أن يلعب في أفضل حالاته عندما لا يلعب الفريق بشكل جيد ويفوز، هذه مشكلة كبيرة”.

واختتم: “يحتاج الأفراد إلى التحسين من أجل ليفربول، ولكن كمجموعة يحتاجون إلى تحسين، وبعد ذلك فإن الأداء الفردي سيقترب من السنوات القليلة الماضية”.

Aberto para negócios: No Fluminense, todos estão à disposição do mercado

MatériaMais Notícias

A delicada situação financeira atrelada à necessidade de encorpar o elenco faz com que, na visão da diretoria tricolor, todos atletas podem ser negociados em caso de uma boa compensação financeira ou técnica. Assim, nomes fundamentais em 2017 como Henrique Dourado e Gustavo Scarpa, podem ser vendidos e até negociados em trocas com outros clubes.

Abel Braga, que ainda não garantiu sua permanência no comando em 2018, já está ciente da possibilidade de perder um dos destaques da temporada.

– Um ou outro será vendido. É a necessidade. Nós não temos condições de fazer grandes contratações, então temos que ser inteligentes com relação à trocas. Você pode perder um jogador de grande qualidade e trazer dois, três bons. Você consegue cobrir melhor como um todo – comentou o comandante.

Em 2017, o Fluminense precisou buscar soluções em Xerém. Abel Braga, acostumado em lançar jovens, foi o responsável por pinçar os talentos – e conseguiu lançar nomes como Wendel, Calazans e Matheus Alessandro.

Para alcançar melhores resultados na próxima temporada, o treinador espera contar com um elenco mais encorpado por jogadores experientes, podendo usar os Moleques de Xerém de maneira mais natural e com menos pressão.

– Não podemos ficar na dependência de um menino resolver. Não são todos que vão desenvolver como o Douglas e rapidamente como o Wendel – finalizou.

Everton make contact with Aleksandr Golovin

Everton have now made contact with AS Monaco over signing midfielder Aleksandr Golovin…

What’s the story?

The Toffees have made a couple of acquisitions already in this January transfer window, and it now appears that the Merseyside club have got their sights set on a play-maker.

According to a source who spoke to Sport Witness, both Everton and fellow Premier League side West Ham are “interested” in signing Golovin, and that they have already been in contact with the midfielder’s agent about a potential move.

Fans will love it

While the Toffees may be enduring a difficult campaign on the pitch under Rafa Benitez this season, a move for Golovin would certainly be a good victory off it.

During his work as a television pundit for broadcaster RT, Jose Mourinho revealed himself to be a big fan of the Russian saying: “Golovin is a playmaker, he’s a player that gives the dynamic of the team.”

And, his former boss at AS Monaco, Niko Kovac, simply said: “Golovin is a fantastic player. For his first start since August, he’s scored three goals. He’s a world-class player. He delivers delicious passes. I know the quality of his passing. That’s why I asked him to take the free-kick that led to the third goal.”

In fact, Toffees legend Tim Cahill has previously thrown his backing behind a potential swoop for the creative star, saying just last year: “He (Golovin) is a great footballer. After yesterday’s 4-1 defeat against Liverpool, it is clear that Everton needs good players. He could strengthen the team.”

As per Whoscored, he has averaged 1.5 key passes per game in Ligue 1 this season for Monaco, good enough to rank him inside the top 20 in the entire division – real evidence of the kind of creativity and guile that he possesses.

The £22.5m-rated midfielder could provide Everton with an extra spark in midfield, and have fans buzzing.

Meanwhile, Everton are considering a swoop for this Premier League outcast…

أليجري يرد على أنباء تمرد لاعبي يوفنتوس قبل ديربي تورينو

يصر مدرب يوفنتوس ماسيميليانو أليجري على أن اللاعبين ليسوا ضد المعسكر التدريبي الذي فرض بعد هزيمة يوم الثلاثاء في دوري أبطال أوروبا أمام مكابي حيفا.

يستعد يوفنتوس لمباراة رئيسية في الدور الإيطالي ضد تورينو منافسيهم في المدينة غدًا بمنافسات الدوري الإيطالي.

لقد خسروا آخر مباراتين أمام ميلان في الدوري الإيطالي ومكابي حيفا في دوري أبطال أوروبا، لذا فرض أليجري معسكرًا تدريبيًا، وفقًا لتقارير متعددة، لم يقبله العديد من اللاعبين.

وقال أليجري في مؤتمر صحفي: “ليس صحيحًا على الإطلاق أن أحدًا رفض الحضور، لم يطلب الفريق أبدًا عدم التراجع عن التدريب وكان ذلك بمثابة عقاب”.

وتابع: “عدنا  يوم الأربعاء الساعة 6 مساءً وتدربنا على الفور، في صباح اليوم التالي كنا في الملعب في الساعة 10 صباحًا”.

وأضاف أليجري: “نحن نركز على كيفية إنهاء هذا الوضع، والطريقة الوحيدة للقيام بذلك هي من خلال الحصول على نتيجة”.

واستطرد: “لدينا ديربي غدا، مباراة مهمة لكلا الفريقين، تورينو فريق شرس، ولديهم قوة، لذلك نحن بحاجة إلى توخي الحذر والعمل كفريق واحد يجب أن نحصل على نتيجة جيدة”.

أصر أليجري على أن يوفنتوس “لديه نفس الأهداف دائمًا” على الرغم من بدايته السيئة للموسم.

وأفاد: “نحن متأخرون كثيرًا في الدوري الإيطالي، لقد تأثرنا بالمباريات ضد مونزا وساليرنيتانا، وهذا ما أخطأنا فيه، الآن، تبقى 29 مباراة ونريد التعافي، سنركز على دوري أبطال أوروبا بعد المباراة مع إمبولي”.

وشدد: “يجب أن نولي المزيد من الاهتمام، خاصة في المرحلة الدفاعية”.

وأكد رئيس يوفنتوس أندريا أنييلي ثقته في المدرب يوم الثلاثاء بعد الخسارة بهدفين دون رد في دوري الأبطال.

وأشار: “لقد أعطى الرئيس دافعًا للبيئة، والآن يجب أن نكون أكثر اتحادًا، يجب أن نكون جميعًا لإنهاء هذه اللحظة، يجب علينا القيام بأشياء بسيطة”.

وأصر أليجري: “هذا ليس تحديًا شخصيًا، هذا الوضع يشمل الجميع نحن نفوز ونخسر معا، لقد عمل الفريق بشكل جيد في هذين اليومين، واليوم لدينا جلسة تدريبية أخيرة ونلعب غدًا”.

وواصل: “من الخارج، قد تعتقد أن الفريق ليس متحدًا، لكنني أعتقد أن لديهم جميعًا الرغبة في التغلب على الصعوبات، المباراة لن تحل جميع مشاكلهم، نحن بحاجة إلى أداء جيد غدا”.

وانتقل أليجري للحديث عن جاهزية لاعبيه، وقال عن مويس كين: “لقد شعر بمشكلة صغيرة قبل المباراة في دوري الأبطال، لذلك لم أرغب في المخاطرة، غدًا، سأختار اثنين بين كين وفلاهوفيتش وميليك، لم أقرر التشكيلة بعد، لدينا آخر تدريب اليوم”.

لياندرو باريديس كان من بين أكثر اللاعبين تعرضًا لانتقادات مؤخرًا، وأتم أليجري معلقًا: “لم يلعب كثيرًا مع باريس سان جيرمان قبل مجيئه إلى هنا، ثم لعب بعض المباريات الجيدة، باريديس ليس المشكلة، لاعبو خط الوسط الآخرون ليسوا المشكلة، الأمر يهم الجميع”.
