وقال محمد صلاح في تصريحات بعد المباراة لوسائل الإعلام: “أعتقد أنها نتيجة جيدة جدًا والشوط الأول كان صعبًا، ليستر سيتي كانوا ممتازين، الطريقة التي دافعوا بها كانت صعبة للغاية، وصعبت الأمور علينا”.
وأضاف: “هدف جاكبو كان مهمًا جدًا ومنحنا ثقة كبيرة أن ندخل الشوط الثاني ونقدم أفضل ما لدينا بدلًا من أن نهدر وقتًا طويلًا لكي نسجل هدف التعادل”.
وأكمل: “الطريقة التي سجل بها جاكبو كانت رائعة، إنه يتدرب على ذلك في التدريبات وعلى كل المواقف، وحتى عندما نحاول أن نتدرب على التسديد، يسدد بطريقة رائعة”.
وعن وصوله للهدف 100 على ملعبه (ستامفورد بريدج 2 وأنفيلد 98)، قال محمد صلاح: “أنا أحاول أن أعمل بجد دائمًا، وآمل أن أضاعف هذا الرقم في المستقبل”.
وعن صدارته لترتيب هدافي الدوري الإنجليزي، قال صلاح: “هذا أمر جيد جدًا، ولكن الأهم هو أن يفوز الفريق، ونأمل بتحقيق لقب الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، ويكون لي تأثير في الفوز باللقب”.
وواصل: “نحن الآن في مقدمة جدول الترتيب، وهذا أمر رائع، نريد أن نواصل على هذا النهج، ونتحلى بالتواضع، لأن هذا الموسم لم يكن لدينا الكثير من الغيابات والإصابات مثل الماضي، وهذا ما يجعل الأمر مختلفًا، نتمنى أن يستمر هذا الوضع”.
وأردف: “هذا الدوري خاص بالنسبة لي وللنادي، والفوز به يجعلني فخورًا للغاية، ولقد حلمت كثيرًا بأن أحقق لقب الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز”.
وعند سؤاله حول توجيه رسالة للجماهير قبل مباراة مانشستر يونايتد على ملعب أنفيلد 5 يناير المقبل، اختتم صلاح حديثه: “أريد أن أقول للجماهير عام سعيد ونتمنى أن يكون العام القادم أفضل، وسنرى ما سيحدث هناك”. تصريحات محمد صلاح بعد فوز ليفربول على ليستر سيتي
With Sunderland looking to finally appoint a new permanent manager, Sky Sports' Keith Downie has provided an update on their pursuit of Lorient man Regis Le Bris.
Sunderland manager news
A month since a disappointing Championship season came to an end, Sunderland are yet to appoint a new boss. Several names have been linked, but not one has arrived, be that Paul Heckingbottom, Pascal Jansen or Will Still. Those at the Stadium of Light are clearly keen to get things right after their nightmare Michael Beale appointment midway through the last campaign.
Under Tony Mowbray, Sunderland found themselves battling for a place in the Championship's top six. Not content with where they were, however, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and co decided to part ways with the former Blackburn Rovers boss and turn to Beale fresh from his Rangers sacking. What followed was the story of Sunderland's season, with Beale winning four of just 12 games in nine weeks, before the Black Cats pulled the plug on a decision to forget.
Sunderland could sign "terrific" Bellingham replacement
Sunderland will be drafting up a list of replacements in case Jobe Bellingham does walk away soon.
ByKelan Sarson Jun 19, 2024
By the end of the Championship campaign, they found themselves as low as 16th as interim manager Mike Dodds headed for the exit. Now, however, as pre-season approaches, Sunderland look to have finally found their man in Regis Le Bris. According to Downie, Sunderland are hopeful that Le Bris will travel to Wearside next week to confirm his appointment just before the start of pre-season.
Downie claims that the "feeling within the club" is that, whilst Le Bris was relegated at Lorient in Ligue 1 last season, he was handed a difficult hand and impressed enough in the 2022/23 season when leading the French club to a top ten finish.
Months after Beale's exit, it finally looks as though Sunderland's next manager is on his way, as the Black Cats gear up for significant improvement in the Championship next season.
Le Bris appointment isn't without risk
On paper, appointing a manager who was just relegated with his current club is hardly a move that will instantly win the fans over, and rightly so – Sunderland's move for Le Bris certainly isn't without its risks. The 48-year-old has taken charge of just one club in the form of Lorient and has endured two incredibly mixed seasons. What Sunderland are betting on is a manager who took his side to the highs of 10th, before they then suffered relegation.
Those in Wearside will hope to see the boss replicate his first Lorient season which did exceed expectations, but only time will tell whether their risk pays off.

Ainda no primeiro tempo, Saulo cobrou escanteio e MT apareceu bem para desviar e ampliar o marcado. No final, Vinícius fez uma boa jogada e bateu colocado e por muito pouco não fez o terceiro, a diferença que a equipe necessitava para avançar.
Na etapa final, o Vasco pressionou, mas o gol da classificação só aconteceu aos 37. Marlon Gomes disputou a bola na área e JP Galvão apareceu como elemento surpresa para finalizar. De primeira, o jogador acertou a trave da meta do Carrossel da Baixada e no rebote Vinícius empurrou para a rede e sacramentou a classificação vascaína.
There is a hope that pitches will start to provide more encouragement in first-class cricket
Daniel Brettig08-Oct-2020
Ashton Agar has had a taste of Test cricket•Getty Images
Drew Ginn, Cricket Australia’s high-performance chief, concedes that not all states are mindful enough of nurturing spin bowling in domestic cricket, and has empowered the pathways manager Graham Manou to take a more focused approach to developing Australian spin bowlers as one of the key blind spots of the national team’s armoury for overseas tours in particular.Speaking ahead of the start of the Sheffield Shield in Adelaide from Saturday, Ginn acknowledged that some states were more amenable to developing spin bowlers than others, in concert with the types of pitch conditions prepared at their home venues. As a consequence, he said that CA needed to be doing all it could to prepare players for coping with challenges they were likely to face overseas, particularly in terms of bowling spin and batting effectively against it.Australia have won just one series in Asia since 2006, on the 2011 tour of Sri Lanka, losing or drawing eight others in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and the UAE in that time. While the Test match exploits of Nathan Lyon have been triumphs of persistence and faith, the retirement of Steve O’Keefe earlier this year again left the reserve cupboard nearly bare, save for the encouraging progress of the Queensland wrist spinner Mitchell Swepson, who told ESPNcricinfo he had needed to learn to play “second fiddle” to the pacemen in Brisbane.ALSO READ: Sheffield Shield preview: Squads, players to watch, new signings and fixturesCA is yet to re-hire the noted spin-bowling coach Craig Howard, a mentor to Swepson and others such as Ashton Agar, but Ginn said that the governing body needed to provide opportunities for spin bowlers to develop outside the state system when Shield pitches and match scenarios did not afford them enough of a chance to grow. Manou, as manager of the talent ID path from junior ranks through club and representative games up to national selection, is pivotal in this area.”Spin bowling’s something we need to keep fostering and driving forward,” Ginn said. “If the states, the environments they’re playing in, aren’t really catering to that, certainly one of the aspects of what we can do in the national system is making sure that centrally, we’re providing opportunities to ensure that players are international ready.”We’re always discussing about the next wave of young kids that are coming through and the skill sets we need for the national team. We’ve got a model called series planning, where we’re looking 18 months to two or three years down the track to major events and we’re looking at where our gaps and opportunities are.Getty Images
“One of the skill sets is spin bowling, playing spin and delivering spin. The view for us is let’s not try to get everyone in the system doing the same thing all at the same time. Let’s make sure we understand what’s happening in the different state environments [and] internationally let’s look at what we’ve got to get ready for, and then make sure we’re really providing the opportunities for players that are coming through.”Howard has noted that while Lyon has proven to be extremely durable, the next rank needed to be encouraged and placed under the pressure of match scenarios in which they were required to bowl sides out in the fourth innings on deteriorating surfaces: a set of circumstances that has grown increasingly rare in the Shield and has advocated changes to pitch preparation to rebalance things. Pre-coronavirus, conversations had turned to whether spin bowlers might be granted chances to play in overseas first-class tournaments in addition to Australia A tours, though this option now looks far less viable.ALSO READ: Cricket Australia spin chief: Sheffield Shield pitches, not the ball, need to change “This year’s going to be difficult from that point of view, but maybe when things do open up a little bit, getting our spinners to work in other first-class systems around the world so they can have that feeling of having to be the man and having to be the person to bowl that team out on the last day,” Howard said. “Or looking at options within our first-class system as far as scarification of wickets in their areas.”Gaz obviously isn’t getting any younger, although he’s incredibly fit and he’s not going anywhere any time soon, if something was to happen to him, we want to make sure there’s plenty of back-up options, not just the one or two that are playing Shield cricket. Ideally it’d be great to have six or eight options to pick the best one available at the time. Also when we head outside of Australia, there’s going to be a real need for two, sometimes three spin options in some of these areas so we want to make sure we’ve got six or eight to pick the best three.”Getty Images
Ginn, who works in a parallel role with CA’s head of national teams, Ben Oliver, said that it was important for venues to accurately reflect their characteristics in Test matches, rather than providing grassier or more “sporting” pitches for Shield games.”There’s been some good conversations during the winter months,” he said. “We’ve got to keep making sure that every part of the game is fostered and developed, and the spin bowling stats are something that people do cite. I know there’s discussions always among curators as to how they make their venues play so that’s really critical to us.”But also how do you make sure that the venue characteristics that do allow for spin bowling are really utilised. So there’s good changes that have been occurring the last few years to make sure every major venue plays as the major venue characteristics are, and I think for spin bowling, hopefully in the next one to two seasons we start to see a change there.”
Arsenal have been excellent under Mikel Arteta, who has taken the Emirates from being perceived as non-contenders at times and fashioning the club into an elite category that strikes fear in opponents both domestically and on the continent.
The last two campaigns have been especially brilliant, fighting against Manchester City for the Premier League title on both occasions and raising a talented squad to an exceptional level, picking up 173 points in total.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta
However, a bitter by-product of entering the ascendancy is that certain sacrifices have to be made. Talented players, many homegrown, have to be sold for the greater good. This is part and parcel, but one of them might just come back to bite the Gunners.
Arsenal transfer news
It's understood that both Nottingham Forest and West Ham United have made approaches for Reiss Nelson, aged 24, while Emile Smith Rowe – 23 – has been transfer-listed for £30m and 25-year-old Eddie Nketiah may be allowed to leave after starting just once in the Premier League since December.
Arsenal's Emile Smith Rowe
This is the result of the wheel of success. Heightened fear surrounding PSR rules means that cashing in on such homegrown products would be financially worthwhile. Moreover, it's unlikely that any (barring maybe Smith Rowe) would cement starring roles at the club in the future.
As per the Evening Standard, Arsenal youngster Amario Cozier-Duberry is also set to leave the club upon the expiry of his contract this summer, with offers from a range of countries overseas as teams circle around him.
However, this one could prove detrimental to Arteta's outfit, with the 19-year-old a top talent who may have the skills to become a leading figure for a rival further down the line if he fulfills his potential over the years to come.
Why Arsenal could regret letting Cozier-Duberry leave
Cozier-Duberry failed to make his professional debut for Arsenal but he was called to the bench for fixtures against Sevilla in the Champions League and Brentford in the EFL Cup. Despite an eagerness to tie him down to a fresh deal, the teenager has decided to move to a club that can offer him first-team football with regularity.
In total, Cozier-Duberry has scored 30 goals and supplied 18 assists across 83 fixtures for Arsenal's respective youth levels, improving year after year and performing excellently in the Premier League 2 last season.
Indeed, having posted nine goals and five assists from only 17 matches in the division, the England U19 international will undoubtedly have a long list of suitors eager to snap him up, with Jack Wilshere previously gushing over his qualities too.

“Amario is very exciting and Mikel [Arteta] likes him,” said Jack Wilshere, discussing the youngster's talents in 2023. “He reminds me of Bukayo Saka, plays in the same position as him, needs to get better with his decision-making like Bukayo did, but he’s definitely exciting.
“In some moments he’s unplayable. You give him the ball and he can make things happen. You can set up a team and have a game plan, but when you’ve got individuals like that you’ve got a chance.”
Given that competition for Saka's place on the right flank is a little thin, compounded by the likely departure of Nelson this summer, fans are understandably disgruntled, with Cozier-Duberry capable of offering relief to the Three Lions sensation.
If the teenage maestro does indeed manage to translate that natural-born skill to honed performance on the major stage, at senior level, then there's a good chance that he could leave Arsenal rueing his departure, with Cole Palmer's resounding rise at Chelsea evidence of making such a blunder.
Chelsea player Cole Palmer
Manchester City sold Palmer to Chelsea in a £40m plus add-ons transfer last summer, with the talented attacking midfielder pushing his way out of Pep Guardiola's side after rising through the academy levels in search of regular first-team football and a platform to showcase his abundant talents.
It's worked out, quite well indeed. A debutante campaign as a Blue saw Palmer plunder 25 goals and 15 assists across all competitions after scoring terrific goals in the Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup for City at the start of the campaign.
Unshackled and allowed to play his football at an outfit that has placed him at the top of the talent pool, the 22-year-old Palmer has established himself as one of the finest players in the Premier League, with no player in the division notching more direct goal contributions than his 33 last term.
Might Cozier-Duberry have taken note of Palmer's stunning success and decided to follow suit? It's a possibility but had Arteta given the youngster a smirch more investment over the past few years, giving him a few minutes here or an extra nod of encouragement there, we might be looking at a very different picture.
Arsenal youngster Amario Cozier-Duberry
As it is, Cozier-Duberry is going to be heading for new turf, and Arteta will likely be hoping that he chooses to follow the interest in his signature from elsewhere, with clubs in Belgium, France, Netherlands and Germany all attentive to his decision.
However, given that he's yet to make his decision, he might be waiting for English clubs to knock on his door, with domestic regulations preventing him from holding formal discussions with Premier League competitors until July 1.
Ultimately, Arsenal have a superabundance of quality and are in good stead to fight fiercely for the Premier League and Champions League titles next year, with the likes of Saka continuing to impress as one of the country's finest.
But if Cozier-Duberry does live up to his giddying potential, playing for a rival, Gunners supporters might just shake their heads with pathos-emitting dejection, victims of their own success and architects of their own Palmer situation, leaving them feeling how Manchester City may be feeling watching the England international from afar.

‘He is going to be resting for a week,’ says the Capitals’ captain Shreyas Iyer

Moody: ‘Surprising to see Delhi not having a back-up Indian wicketkeeper in their squad’
Rishabh Pant will miss a week of IPL 2020 because of the hamstring injury he picked up during the Delhi Capitals’ game against the Rajasthan Royals on October 9.”I spoke to the doctor and he said he is going to be resting for a week,” the Capitals’ captain, Shreyas Iyer, told host broadcaster Star after the side’s loss to the Mumbai Indians. “Hope he comes back strongly after this break.”Pant was seen limping towards the end of the Royals’ innings, when he took Varun Aaron’s catch to seal a win for his side.He has been the second-highest run-getter for the Capitals this season so far, having scored 176 runs in six innings at an average of 35.20 and a strike rate of 133.33.Pant’s absence means Shimron Hetmyer may also miss the Capitals’ upcoming games as the only other wicketkeeping option they have is Australia’s Alex Carey. With Marcus Stoinis, Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje almost certainties for three overseas spots, Hetmyer is most likely the one to make way for Carey, just like he did for Sunday’s game against the Mumbai Indians.On the positive side for the Capitals, they have five wins from seven games and currently sit second on the points table, tied with the Mumbai Indians on points.

WBBL technical committee had not approved Hayley Silver-Holmes’ return to squad but she was listed in starting XI

Hayley Silver-Holmes sends one down•Getty Images
Cricket Australia are investigating the Sydney Sixers after they included Hayley Silver-Holmes in their playing XI to face the Melbourne Renegades at North Sydney Oval on Saturday without the pace bowler being part of their 15-member squad.Silver-Holmes had been recovering from a foot injury over the previous two weeks and had been replaced in the squad by Alisha Bates. Having recovered to play Saturday’s match against the Renegades, she was listed in the starting XI, but her return to the squad had not yet been approved by the tournament’s technical committee.The “administrative error”, which the Sixers alerted officials to themselves, was only spotted shortly before she was due to take the field for the second innings and she was withdrawn with Maddy Darke acting as a substitute fielder. Silver-Holmes had not batted during the Sixers’ innings, so she had not taken any active part in the game.”The rebel WBBL is aware of an administrative error pertaining to player selection in the Sydney Sixers-Melbourne Renegades match on Saturday,” a Cricket Australia statement said.”The Sixers self-reported an issue relating to Hayley Silver-Holmes’ paperwork shortly after the Sixers-Renegades game had commenced. Silver-Holmes did not bat nor take the field for the Renegades’ run-chase. The rebel WBBL will provide an update on the matter in due course.”It meant the Sixers were a bowler short as they failed to defend 166 and although captain Ellyse Perry was still able to call on seven others, they were not able to stop Lizelle Lee and Courtney Webb steering a fine chase.The defeat left the Sixers with only a slim chance of making the semi-finals with one match left on Sunday and needing the Sydney Thunder or the Perth Scorchers to lose, then having to beat the table-topping Melbourne Stars by a big margin to improve their net run-rate.
