طالب أحمد سليمان، عضو مجلس إدارة الزمالك، بإجراء محاكمة شعبية من جماهير القلعة البيضاء، للمجلس السابق، بسبب الأزمات التي تركوا النادي عليها، مُشيرًا إلى مشكلة سامسون أكينيولا.

ورفض المهاجم البنيني العودة من معسكر منتخب بلاده لخوض منافسات تصفيات كأس العالم 2026، بداعي تأخر مستحقاته المالية، وخاطب النادي محامي اللاعب من أجل العودة للاتفاق على رحيله بالتراضي.

وقال أحمد سليمان في تصريحات عبر برنامج “اللعيب”، على قناة “إم بي سي مصر”: “في قواعد للأندية الأهلية مثل الزمالك والأهلي، غير أندية الشركات، فلا بد أن تُحاسب مجالس الإدارات على تصرفاتها في الجزء الفني والمالي”.

وتابع: “نحن نُعاني في الجزئين، لكن لن أقف عند الجزء الفني لأنه قد يكون هناك توفيق وعدم توفيق، لكن الجزء المالي نُعاني منه، بسبب المجلس السابق الذي نطالب بمحاكمة شعبية من جماهير الزمالك على ما فعله في عقود اللاعبين (والبلاوي) التي نراها، مثل عقود خالد بوطيب وإبراهيما نداي وسامسون”.

وأضاف: “في أوقات عندما يتفوق لاعب، نخبئ عقده، لكن عندما يكون اللاعب فنيًا قليل جدًا، وعقده عالي جدًا، إذًا لا بد من محاسبة المسؤولين، (لأن ده مش مال سايب) هذا مال عام، لو في أندية تُحاسب على هذه التصرفات، ما كنا وصلنا لذلك”.

وأردف: “أنا أعجبت بخماسي سيراميكا كليوباترا المحترف، لكن في الأندية الشعبية الكبيرة نضم محترفين ليقدموا الإضافة وهذا لا يحدث، ستجد على مدار تاريخ الزمالك والأهلي 20% فقط من المحترفين نجحوا مع القطبين”.

وواصل: “أشرف بن شرقي وفرجاني ساسي جاءا بدعم من مُحب لنادي الزمالك، وليست الإدارة هي من تعاقدت معهما، وكانت عقودهما كبيرة، لكن أدائهما الفني عالي، لذلك ترضى بالمبالغ التي تُدفع لهما”.

وبسؤاله، كيف ستتصرفون مع سامسون؟ أجاب: “هناك حلول ودية نعمل عليها، لأن مبلغه كبير جدًا، أنا أطالب جماهير الزمالك بأن تُحاكم رئيس النادي السابق (مرتضى منصور) ونجله وغيرهما، بسبب (القرف الذي نراه) كل يوم كارثة، هل طبيعي أن يتم إيقاف قيد الزمالك في السنة مرتين”.

واختتم: “مجلس الإدارة السابق ذهب للأموال العامة ولم يحدث شيء، لذلك أطالب بمحاكمته شعبيًا، المبالغ وفرق العملة كبير، نحن كمجلس عندما تولينا المسؤولية كنا نُسدد مستحقات الموسم الماضي للاعبين، وبدأنا في تسديد مستحقات الموسم الحالي”

Just how much did it mean for South Africa’s superstar to score his first Test century in three years?

Firdose Moonda in Port Elizabeth11-Mar-2018AB de Villiers – yes, even AB de Villiers – feared for his place in the South African side. And maybe he had a point.After almost two years out of the Test team, first with an elbow injury and then on a self-imposed sabbatical, de Villiers did not think he could just walk straight back in, even though coach Ottis Gibson all but assured him he would. When he did, he walked back in as stand-in captain, in a four-day day-night Test against Zimbabwe because Faf du Plessis was injured, and then he walked back in as the game-changer at Newlands against India and the top run-scorer in that series, but he still didn’t feel properly back. Until now.De Villiers has scored his first hundred since his comeback and he truly feels like he belongs. “I came into this series and the previous one against India feeling like I need to play again, to make sure I keep my spot in the team. I haven’t played for a while and you’re always just a couple of innings away from people starting to say, ‘Is he still good enough?’ so those kind of things were on my mind,” de Villiers said. “I was very motivated to prove to people I could still play the game , even though I’ve been away for a while.”This was de Villiers’ first Test hundred since his century against West Indies in January 2015 at Newlands. In that time, he was inactive for almost two years and only scantly communicative about his cricketing plans so it was understandable people thought he was done. Even his closest confidantes, like former captain Graeme Smith and current captain Faf du Plessis, thought he would retire with du Plessis going as far as insisting the team had moved on, but de Villiers hadn’t. Not completely. “I never lost my love for the game,” he said. “I was just tired of playing. I was just flat, physically, mentally and quite a few other factors. There was just a lot that was going on in my life and I felt like I needed to breathe a little bit.”He used the time away to introspect, to play some white-ball cricket and “to reset my thoughts and all of that, and think about where i’m going with my career and the kind of things I still want to achieve.” He decided to step down as ODI captain and decided to focus his goals on “being part of a successful Test team” among other things like the 2019 World Cup.Even though his commitment to Test cricket has been questioned, he maintains it is still the pinnacle and today he proved it. “I’ve always seen it as the ultimate form of the game,” he said. “I love playing Test cricket. It’s so rewarding after five days of toil to come out on top. And even if you don’t come out on top, to know you’ve put everything out there.”Devoting himself completely to the task is something that has become synonymous with de Villiers and was evident at St George’s Park. While the rest struggled against reverse swing, de Villiers took the attack to the Australians and then enjoyed some personal glory. For the first time, he admitted he revelled in it.”It was ten on ten. It was right up there with the best feeling ever. I was so relieved, I was very nervous in the 90s, I don’t think it showed but I was telling Vern out there that I was struggling to breathe and my legs literally went numb. It’s funny when a guy who has played for 13 or 14 years says that, but it’s true,” de Villiers said. “It really meant a lot to me to get that hundred and I was constantly reminding myself throughout the 90s that it’s not about yourself. It’s about contributing to the team as much as possible, that made me feel a little bit better because the minute you focus too much on individual performance, you sort of forget about the team. But it’s difficult to forget about the team when you haven’t scored a hundred for three years. So it meant a lot to me today.”De Villiers quickly switched back to unselfish mode and credited his lower order for allowing him time at the crease to get to his century. “They were simply amazing out there today. They took a lot of pressure off me, they’re all run-scorers. They’re not tailenders who just hang around out there,” de Villiers said of Vernon Philander and Keshav Maharaj, with whom he shared stands of 84 and 58 respectively. “I could go out and focus on my technique, focus on what I was doing yesterday and try and get myself into the game. I never felt like I needed to score to get us somewhere.”Maharaj was particularly eager to score runs and early in his innings slogged a Nathan Lyon ball to straight to Usman Khawaja in the deep, exactly in the spot de Villiers had told him not to target. Khawaja caught the ball with his back foot outside the rope, which saved Maharaj. In the next over, Maharaj hit Lyon in the same area for a second six.De Villiers admitted his heart was in his mouth as that played out. “I told Keshav there are two fielders on the boundary and it’s the cow corner and the long-on so preferably don’t hit it there in the air. If you want to, you can hit it on the ground. The very next ball he goes for it. [David] Warner and a few of the guys were actually laughing,” de Villiers said. “Luckily he got away with it and a few balls later he did the same thing. He said ‘Sorry AB, sorry. But he’s coming over the wicket and I like it when he’s over the wicket.'”Maharaj found the rope three more times, and helped de Villiers push South Africa into a lead that could be match-winning. De Villiers did not want to touch the money too soon but hoped South Africa would not have to chase more than 150 on a wearing pitch. “I’d say no more than 150 but if it does go more than that, we can still chase it down. But in an ideal world, 150 or less would be nice,” he said.And if he can help South Africa pull off a series-levelling win, de Villiers will really be back.

Através das redes sociais, o Náutico fez o anúncio oficial da chegada de um reforço para o seu sistema ofensivo. Trata-se do atacante Vinícius, jogador com rodagem em vários clubes do futebol brasileiro que teve como sua última equipe o Larissa, da Grécia.

Atualmente com 27 anos de idade, o atleta formado nas categorias de base do Palmeiras (clube onde foi campeão da Copa do Brasil e da Série B do Brasileirão sendo o último título sob o comando de Gilson Kleina) tem em seu currículo equipes como Vitória, Ceará, Coritiba, Chapecoense e Criciúma.

A relação entre Kleina e o avante já vem de longa data pois, além de terem trabalhado juntos no clube de formação de Vinícius, eles também tiveram a oportunidade de defenderem, na mesma época, Coritiba e Criciúma.

Com essa chegada, agora o treinador do Alvirrubro terá nove opções para o seu sistema ofensivo, sendo as outras oito Salatiel, Kieza, Álvaro, Erick, Paiva, Matheus Carvalho, Thiago e Dadá Belmonte.

Kevin Sharp, former batting mentor to England captain, sees encouraging attributes in Worcestershire prodigy

George Dobell06-Apr-2018

Joe Clarke could be the new Joe Root, according to Root’s former batting mentor.Kevin Sharp, for many years a player and coach at Yorkshire, worked with Root as a developing player. Now head coach of Worcestershire, Sharp believes 21-year-old Clarke shares many of the same attributes as the England captain and feels he would do well if picked for the Test team this summer.”Yes, he could be the new Joe Root,” Sharp told ESPNcricinfo. “He reminds me a lot of Joe Root’s credentials.”I met Joe Root as a 12-year-old and he had something special straight away. I knew that from day one. The way he went about his tasks, the way he talked about the game and the way he went about planning: he was always planning for the next level.”Joe Clarke’s the same. He’s a fine young player. He wants to play all types of cricket for England. He’s very self-driven.”A few years ago I told Joe Root to look out for a guy called Joe Clarke. He said ‘All right. OK then.”Clarke is clearly a huge fan of Root. During the days when the England and England Lions squads trained together in Australia during the Ashes tour, Clarke could be seen sitting in the closest net to Root as he batted and watching his every move intently. And, while Clarke did not score especially heavily on the Lions tour in the Caribbean, he redeemed himself with scores of 46, 71 and 112 in the North v South games. He had previously become the first teenage Lions player since Root.With England struggling to find much consistency in their middle-order batting since Ian Bell, Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen left the team, Clarke could even himself in the Test team within weeks. He is clearly highly thought of by the likes of Andy Flower and, if he starts the county season well, he will have given himself an excellent opportunity to push for a middle-order spot.”It wouldn’t surprise me if he was picked,” Sharp said. “He would do well. He believes in himself, he’s hungry and he concentrates well. It absolutely wouldn’t be a problem if he got picked. He wouldn’t let himself or anybody down.”Of more concern to Worcestershire could be the fact that Clarke is out of contract at the club at the end of the season. Counties can make 28-day approaches to players (that means they can notify the county of a player who is out of contract at the end of a season and inform them they wish to speak to that player in 28 days) from April 10 this year and Clarke is likely to have several big-budget suitors.It may be relevant that he retains aspirations to keep wicket – a skill he feels could help him when it comes to England selection – and his ability to do so at New Road is blocked by the excellence of Ben Cox.

Manchester United haven’t given up on a deal to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, according to one recent report.

Is Victor Osimhen leaving Napoli?

The Red Devils were busy in the summer transfer window and eventually signed a new centre-forward in Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta.

However, those at Old Trafford were seemingly interested in both Osimhen and Harry Kane prior to signing Hojlund but failed to sign either. As we know, Kane ended up making the move to Bayern Munich from Tottenham, whereas Osimhen remained at Napoli.

Things have taken a turn recently, though, with Napoli’s official TikTok account appearing to mock the forward, which has resulted in the player removing all Napoli-related images from his Instagram account.

Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, has hit out at the club and even hinted at legal action, saying:

“We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor.

“A video mocking Victor was first made public and then belatedly deleted. A serious fact that causes very serious damage to the player and adds to the treatment the boy is suffering.”

As a result, it looks as if a number of clubs are eyeing up a move for the Nigeria "superstar", including Man United.

According to The Sun, the Red Devils are one of three Premier League sides who are monitoring the player’s situation ahead of a potential swoop.

Arsenal and Chelsea could rival United, whereas European heavyweights Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the striker, who is thought to be valued at £150m.

How good is Victor Osimhen?

Osimhen, lauded as "world-class" by CBS commentator Matteo Bonetti, has starred for Napoli since joining back in 2020 from Lille, so it seems rather bizarre that the club’s social media team have seemingly mocked the player.

The 24-year-old has once again found the back of the net on a regular basis during the current campaign, scoring four times in the opening six Serie A fixtures and providing an assist in the first Champions League group game.

In total, Osimhen has now contributed to 78 goals in just 108 appearances in Italy, so you can see why some of the biggest clubs appear to be sniffing around his current situation.

He appears to be at the peak of his powers with a career-high €120m Transfermarkt valuation, a figure which stood at €40m when he moved to Napoli.

As per FBref over the past 12 months, Osimhen has placed in the top 1% of forwards for shots, top 2% for goals and touches in the penalty area and top 5% for the percentage of aerial duels won.

He could therefore effortlessly slot into Ten Hag’s plans at Old Trafford to star alongside the likes of Hojlund and Marcus Rashford, however, a £150m asking price could be too much for the Red Devils, especially as the club were treading carefully when it came to Financial Fair Play rules in the summer, bringing in seven new players.

Após quatro anos atuando no exterior, o meia Neto comemora sua estreia com a camisa do Juventude e seu retorno ao futebol brasileiro. Recém-chegado ao clube gaúcho, o jogador de 29 anos estreou na vitória contra o Guarani, no último domingo, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro da Série B.

Neto fala sobre seu primeiro jogo com a equipe alviverde e de poder retornar ao seu país natal. O meia acumula passagens por Moreirense, de Portugal – onde atuou por três temporadas -, e Al-Fayha, da Arábia Saudita.

‘Como atuei quatro anos fora, é uma sensação bem diferente poder jogar novamente no Brasil. Me senti muito feliz em poder retornar ao futebol brasileiro e, principalmente, estrear com a camisa do Juventude que é uma equipe muito forte e grande no cenário atual’, disse o meia Neto.

Nesta quinta-feira, o Juventude terá um compromisso importante diante do Grêmio, às 21h30 (de Brasília), pelo jogo de volta da Copa do Brasil. O meia Neto reforça a qualidade da equipe gremista, porém acredita que o Juve tem potencial de reverter o placar e sair com a classificação para a próxima fase.

‘Estamos confiantes no trabalho que vem sendo feito. Acredito que podemos reverter o resultado sim, se aproveitarmos as oportunidades com certeza vamos ter sucesso contra o Grêmio. Sabemos da qualidade da equipe deles, mas não podemos esquecer que nossa equipe é muito qualificada e está muito preparada e confiante. Vai ser um grande jogo’, concluiu.

Alex Carey has been promoted to the Twenty20 vice-captaincy for Australia’s upcoming limited-overs tour of England

Daniel Brettig08-May-2018Australia squads for England tour

ODIs: Tim Paine (capt & wk), Aaron Finch (vice-capt), Ashton Agar, Alex Carey (wk), Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Nathan Lyon, Glenn Maxwell, Shaun Marsh, Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson, D’Arcy Short, Billy Stanlake, Marcus Stoinis, Andrew Tye
T20Is (also for Zimbabwe tri-series): Aaron Finch (capt), Alex Carey (vice-capt & wk), Ashton Agar, Travis Head, Nic Maddinson, Glenn Maxwell, Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson, D’Arcy Short, Billy Stanlake, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Swepson, Andrew Tye, Jack Wildermuth

Tim Paine and Aaron Finch will share Australia’s limited-overs leadership duties in England this June, with wicketkeeper Alex Carey promoted to the Twenty20 vice-captaincy. Also, Nathan Lyon and favoured son Shaun Marsh have been recalled in the first squads to bear the selection fingerprints of the new coach Justin Langer.In the absence of the suspended Steven Smith and David Warner, Paine has been elevated to the ODI captaincy 12 months out from the 2019 World Cup in England, as Langer seeks continuity and consistency of message in a team now searching for a fresh outlook and identity following the disastrous South Africa Test tour. The selection chairman Trevor Hohns made it clear this was a short-term choice, with options still open for the captaincy ahead of the global tournament.At the same time, the selected ODI combination is intended to bring about a change in the team’s 50-over fortunes after an underwhelming 12 months in the format, with England looming not only as hosts but one of the hardest sides to beat in the World Cup, a tournament Australia won on home soil in 2015.There was no room for Chris Lynn in either format. Lynn’s absence is believed to be due to ongoing shoulder problems that restrict him in the field, preventing him from diving and limiting his capacity to throw. A review with a specialist is scheduled on his return from the IPL, with Lynn’s future in Australian colours to be determined after that time.Langer’s influence can be seen in the selection of no fewer than six members of the West Australian set-up in the ODI squad, including the powerful left-hander D’Arcy Short. Marsh’s recall at 34 gives him a chance to win a consistent ODI place ahead of the World Cup.”Obviously, these are the conditions we will face during the tournament so now is a perfect chance to give these players an opportunity to press their case for selection,” Hohns said. “Tim is a strong leader and will captain the side for this series, supported by Aaron. A decision on a permanent one-day captain will be made in due course.”D’Arcy is relatively new to one-day cricket but impressed us with his form in T20 cricket last season. He brings an all-round package to the side, with strong fielding and bowling skills, and we believe he will combine very well with Aaron at the top of the order.”Nathan is our No. 1 offspinner and has excelled with the red ball, however he is not new to white-ball cricket and deserves his chance to push for World Cup selection. England potentially have a number of left-handers in their side and we look forward to seeing what he can produce with the white ball in English conditions.”Carey was one of the brightest performers from the Big Bash League in 2017-18, finishing as the tournament’s second-highest run-scorer. He was awarded an Australia contract in April. His inclusion in both squads underlines his promise, with Hohns reckoning he may yet slot into the 50-overs team as a batsman alone. “Alex is a very smart one-day player who can also bat anywhere in the order,” he said. “With Tim in the side, Alex will be the back-up wicketkeeper, but we believe his game is strong enough to play as a batter only.”Getty Images

The T20 players were selected for the one-off match in England, as well as the triangular series that follows in Zimbabwe. Nic Maddinson has earned a recall in this group, despite being without a state contract for the coming domestic season, while Jack Wildermuth and Mitchell Swepson have both been called up.”The national selection panel holds Jack in high regard as young player on the rise,” T20 selector Mark Waugh said. “He has shown excellent all-round skills at the first-class level, particularly with the ball in the Big Bash. We look forward to seeing what he can produce at the international level.”Mitchell provides the captain with good variety and wicket-taking options. He competes very well and deserves his chance at this level. Nic has been selected off the back of a very good Big Bash season. He is a very talented player and, with his batting skills, has the ability to be very dangerous in this format.”Swepson and Lyon’s inclusions arrived at the expense of Adam Zampa, who is missing from both squads. “Adam hasn’t performed to the level we would have liked in recent times and we see this as a good opportunity for other spinning options to press their case ahead of the World Cup,” Hohns said.Neither Pat Cummins nor Mitchell Starc were considered for selection as they recover from bone stress injuries suffered in South Africa. “Mitchell is going to undertake a prolonged rehabilitation period for his tibial bone stress injury and we are aiming for a return for the Pakistan Test series [at an away venue in October/November],” the team physio David Beakley said.”Pat is still recovering from a lumbar bone stress injury. The good news is that it has not progressed to a fracture but he still requires a period of rehabilitation with an aim for him to return for the Pakistan Test series along with Starc.”
