تحدث سهيل العريفي المدير التنفيذي للفعاليات في مجلس أبو ظبي الرياضي، عن مباراة الأهلي والزمالك ضمن منافسات كأس السوبر المصري لموسم 2022.

ويلتقي الأهلي مع الزمالك يوم الجمعة المقبل الموافق 5 مايو، على استاد محمد بن زايد بأبو ظبي للمنافسة على كأس السوبر المصري.

وقال سهيل العريفي في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “الأولى المصرية”: “نسعى للاستمرار في التعاون مع مصر كرويًا للسنوات القادمة، أي بلد محظوظة باستضافة الكلاسيكو الأقدم في الوطن العربي والديربي الأعرق”.

وأضاف: “التذاكر على الأغلب بيعت بالكامل قبل أيام من موعد المباراة، سعة الملعب تتخطى الـ33 ألف مشجع وستكون مقسمة بالتساوي بين الفريقين”.

وأوضح: “لن نضع فاصلًا بين جماهير الأهلي والزمالك في المدرجات لنكون طبقًا للنظام الأوروبي المطبق في العالم، ونثق في الجماهير”.

وواصل: “لم يصلنا أي شئ عن إمكانية انسحاب أي ناد، نحن نجهز بشكل كامل لاستقبال المباراة ونعلم أن الأندية حريصة على مصلحة المباراة”.

وأردف: “العقد الذي بيننا وبين الشركة على استضافة مباراة السوبر وليس مباراة الأهلي والزمالك تحديدًا”.

واستطرد: “الفريقان سيصلان إلى الإمارات فجر يوم الثلاثاء المقبل، وسيخوضان أول تدريب مساء نفس اليوم”.

وأتم: “الجانب الفني للمباراة بإدارة وقرارات الاتحاد المصري لكرة القدم، ووصلنا بشكل رسمي أن طاقم التحكيم مصري ومساعديه في تقنية الفار من التحكيم الدولي الإماراتي وهذا بالتعاون مع لجنة الحكام في مصر”.

يذكر أن أنباء ترددت عن تفكير الزمالك في الانسحاب أمام الأهلي من مباراة السوبر المصري، في حال لم يتم إيقاف محمود عبد المنعم كهربا، الذي صدر قرار بإيقافه 12 مباراة، ولكن تم وقف تنفيذ العقوبة بسبب التظلم الذي تقدم به الأهلي للجنة التظلمات.

O atual jejum de vitórias pode custar muito caro ao São Paulo em sua briga pelo título do Campeonato Brasileiro. Isto porque, de acordo com um estudo conduzido pelo Departamento de Matemática da UFMG (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais), as chances do Tricolor terminar o ano campeão são de apenas 2,6%. Por outro lado, no entanto, a equipe do Morumbi está virtualmente classificada para a Copa Libertadores do ano que vem, com 99% de possibilidade de conquistar vaga no torneio continental.

Embora o time do técnico Diego Aguirre esteja a sete pontos de distância do líder Palmeiras (52 contra 59) e ainda haja nove rodadas em disputa, as chances do Tricolor são baixas. Segundo o matemático Gilcione Nonato da Costa, professor da UFMG, as probabilidades escassas têm relação direta com três motivos: retrospecto recente nos últimos jogos, momento do Palmeiras e o perfil construído pelos são-paulinos ao longo da competição.

– O São Paulo vem de seguidos resultados ruins, enquanto o Palmeiras está em ascensão no Campeonato Brasileiro. Caso o clube (referindo-se ao Palmeiras) some 18 pontos nos últimos 27 que estão em disputa, o que não é algo improvável, o São Paulo precisaria vencer todos os noves jogos para ser campeão sem precisar depender dos critérios de desempate, uma vez que não é possível somar 26 pontos em nove rodadas. Isso, claro, sem contar os outros candidatos ao título – explicou o professor.

Depois de conquistar o troféu Osmar Santos, prêmio concedido pelo LANCE! ao campeão do primeiro turno do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Tricolor sofreu uma queda brusca de rendimento e foi perdendo posições. O time não vence há cinco rodadas e passa por um de seus piores momentos nesta temporada.

Apesar disto, a equipe está muito próxima de disputar a Copa Libertadores do ano que vem. Segundo o estudo UFMG, o São Paulo tem apenas 1% de chance de não jogar a competição continental em 2019.

-Temos seis vagas abertas para a Copa Libertadores do ano que vem. Sendo assim, o parâmetro do São Paulo para a classificação precisa ser o Santos, que hoje é o sétimo, com 42 pontos. Portanto, são dez pontos de frente. Faltando 27 pontos em disputa, as chances do São Paulo não ir para a Libertadores são muito baixas – pontuou o matemático.

O estudo conduzido na universidade federal leva em conta o perfil construído por cada equipe ao longo da competição, como o desempenho dentro e fora de casa, o número de vitórias, empates e derrotas, e projeta 3 milhões de possíveis resultados para chegar às probabilidades.

شن فاروق جعفر لاعب الزمالك السابق انتقادات قاسية ضد قرارات أحمد عبد المقصود مدرب الزمالك عقب خسارة الفريق 2-3 أمام المصري البورسعيدي مساء اليوم الثلاثاء، ضمن منافسات الجولة 22 من الدوري المصري لموسم 2022-2023.

وتوقف الزمالك عند 33 نقطة في المركز الخامس مما يهدد مشاركة الفريق في بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا في الموسم المقبل حيث يبتعد بفارق 9 نقاط عن فيوتشر الوصيف و6 نقاط عن بيراميدز صاحب المركز الثالث.

وقال فاروق جعفر في تصريحات لقناة أون تايم سبورت: ” التغييرات ليست موفقة وتوقيتها غير مناسب، والأهداف الثلاثة جاءت والمصري في منطقة الـ 6 ياردة، ماذا يعني أن أكون متأخرًا في النتيجة وتقوم بتغيير ظهير في الدقيقة 89؟ ماذا سيفعل يوسف أسامة في 6 دقائق؟!”.

وأكمل حديثه: “سيف جعفر كان أفضل لاعب في الملعب، وخروجه ونزول شيكابالا غير صحيح، شيكابالا ليس معنى أن أحافظ عليه أن أدفع به في مباراة مثل هذه”.

وواصل حديثه: “الزمالك يحتاج لاختيار ما فيه مصلحة الزمالك معه وليس الذي مصلحته مع الزمالك، الزمالك لا يحتاج لاعبين يلعبون على حساب النادي بل يحتاج لاعبين عندهم روح وإصرار وقتال”.

وختم فاروق جعفر حديثه، قائلا “كل مباراة نذهب ونحن في حالة حزن على الزمالك، والمدير الفني يُجري تغييرات خطأ، لو المدرب يضع في ذهنه أنه يضع لاعبين على الدكة لكي يدفع بهم رغم أي شيء يصبح مدربًا فاشلًا”.

“A gente espera que se não for o Gatito, que seja ele (Jefferson). Quem sabe? Pode até ser que volte antes. Esperamos que um dos dois, ou os dois, volte e ajude a gente ainda esse ano”. As palavras são de Flávio Tênius, preparador de goleiros do Botafogo, em entrevista à “Rádio Brasil” nesta sexta-feira.

O tom, como visto, não anima os torcedores, que aguardam as voltas de Gatito Fernández e Jefferson há algumas rodadas, sobretudo a do paraguaio, que era titular até lesionar o punho direito, no fim de abril, e que tem treinado com o grupo há algum tempo desde os recentes contratempos.

– O Gatito realmente teve duas oportunidades para voltar, mas na semana de treinamentos ele voltou a sentir dores no punho e deu uma regredida. A situação dele é a seguinte: foi liberado duas vezes pelo departamento médico, treinou de quarta a sábado muito bem, mas no domingo e segunda estava com uma queixa de dor. E aí a gente tem que voltar um passo, porque com dor não tem como treinar normalmente – disse Flávio, completando:

– Dia a dia a gente está analisando. Tem dia que coloca para treinar com o grupo, um trabalho que de repente não vai exigir muito, de bola parada, tático, para que não perca tanto essa condição de jogo. Não pode ultrapassar esse momento, como tem dor ainda temos que trabalhar a parte técnica com restrição. Acaba voltando ao departamento médico para tratamento, a gente fica em segundo plano. Parte técnica faz o máximo que dá, mas com restrições. Ele continua com a gente, mas volta para fazer fisioterapia para que a dor desapareça e ele volte a treinar normalmente.

E A SITUAÇÃO DE JEFFERSON?

– O Jefferson está com a gente há quase uma semana, treinando especificamente com treinador de goleiros, não com a equipe toda. Mas a evolução está muito boa, a gente espera que o mais rápido possível volte também. Ele está muito animado, e nós também em relação à recuperação. Está praticamente liberado, agora só recondicionar física e tecnicamente para estar apto a jogar. A gente espera que se não for o Gatito, que seja ele. Quem sabe? Pode até ser que volte antes. Esperamos que um dos dois, ou os dois, volte e ajude a gente ainda esse ano.

GAROTADA NA VITRINE

Há uma semana exatamente, Jefferson voltou acom luvas pela primeira vez após choque grave em divida com Lucas Paquetá, no clássico contra o Flamengo. Desde então, enquanto o ídolo de 35 anos encarava uma delicada recuperação e Gatito acelerava na fisioterapia, Saulo assumiu a meta.

Além de Saulo, que já acumula 16 jogos na temporada, Diego é outro jovem que já teve chances (duas) como titular – iniciou contra o Sport e o Bahia, em jogo de ida pelas oitavas da Sul-Americana. Ambos ainda não são unanimidade na torcida alvinegra.

– Com goleiros mais jovens há certa impaciência, colocam na conta deles algumas situações que eu não concordo. Com goleiro de mais nome, mais experiente, passa batido. Eles estão dando conta do recado totalmente. Falaram que ele (Saulo) falhou no jogo contra o São Paulo, eu não concordo nem de perto. Quem realmente conhece da posição, se olhar direitinho a jogada vai ver que ele ainda fez a defesa, a bola iria entrar direto, conseguiu uma defesa dificílima, a um metro dele, três jogadores passaram e furaram a cabeçada, ele reagiu e ainda conseguiu fazer a defesa.

– O Diego contra o Bahia lá, se aquela bola que tomou um gol de cabeça entra direto ninguém ia comentar nada. O cara cabeceou a um metro e meio dele, ele ainda reagiu, bateu na bola e por infelicidade ela foi para dentro do gol, mas podia ir para qualquer lugar. Foi uma defesa até boa de velocidade de reação. Pena que entrou e tomou o gol – finalizou o especialista da posição do Glorioso.

O próximo compromisso do Botafogo é o clássico contra o Vasco, nesta terça-feira, às 21h (de Brasília), pelo Brasileirão. A tendência é que Saulo permaneça como o goleiro titular da equipe de Zé Ricardo.

تفاعلت جماهير فريق ليفربول مع أداء النجم المصري محمد صلاح، في مباراة اليوم ضد ريال مدريد، في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.

واستضاف ملعب “سانتياجو برنابيو” مباراة الفريقين في إطار منافسات إياب دور الـ16 من البطولة، حيث فاز ريال مدريد بهدف دون رد.

وتأهل ريال مدريد إلى دور ربع النهائي، خاصة مع فوزه في مباراة الذهاب بنتيجة 5-2 على ملعب “الأنفيلد”.

Yorkshire have made a shock announcement that Ajmal Shahzad can leave the county – only a week after their new coach, Jason Gillespie, praised him as “a fantastic bowler”

David Hopps01-May-2012Yorkshire have made a shock announcement that Ajmal Shahzad can leave the county – only a week after their new coach, Jason Gillespie, praised him as “a fantastic bowler”.Yorkshire refused to explain the reasons for Shahzad’s abrupt request to leave but it seems inevitable that the club has become embroiled in the sort of stand-off with a disaffected player in which it has specialised throughout its history.Shahzad, who eight years ago became the first Yorkshire-born cricketer of Pakistani background to represent the county, has been periodically unsettled at Yorkshire, but the arrival of Gillespie had filled him with fresh resolve and optimism at the start of the season.Instead, Yorkshire have now announced: “Following discussions between YCCC and Ajmal Shahzad, it has been jointly agreed that in the best interests of his development, Ajmal will be given the option to play for another club either under a new contract or on loan for the rest of the season, in order to establish himself with a new county.”Somerset, who are in the market for a fast bowler on loan, are bound to be among the major suitors for a player whose 2011 season was wrecked by ankle trouble but who, at his best, remains on the fringe of the England set-up. Middlesex’s director of cricket, Angus Fraser, has also shown interest in the past. Essex, not slow to recognise the attraction of rejected or disillusioned Yorkies, will also take an interest.There was no comment from Gillespie, who had watched Shahzad bowl in Yorkshire’s last home match against Essex and purred: “That was Test match bowling. He had a troubled season last year, but we don’t worry about last year. Ajmal has got himself in as good a condition as he’s ever been in his first-class career. He’s worked incredibly hard, and I think he’s a fantastic bowler, a very exciting bowler.”Instead, it was left to Martyn Moxon, the director of cricket, and Colin Graves, the chairman, to issue anodyne statements that gave little indication of the reasons behind the impending split.Moxon said: “There has been a lot of discussion over a period of time with Ajmal regarding his cricket and it has been agreed by the club and the player that it is in the player’s best interests that he pursues his career elsewhere. I would like to wish Ajmal every success in the future.”Graves added: “I am disappointed that Ajmal will be leaving as he is one of the bright prospects of England’s fast bowlers. We wish Ajmal all the very best in the future and thank him for his contribution to Yorkshire cricket over the years.”Shahzad has had emotional highs and lows throughout his career. He is an outgoing personality and his mood swings have been heightened by the fact that he has not taken his falling out of favour with England easily. There were times last season, notably on an away trip to the Netherlands, when Yorkshire were privately critical of what they perceived as unruly behaviour.He has issues of his own. He regards himself as a genuine allrounder yet bats low in the order for Yorkshire and lost the new ball to Tim Bresnan, who was making a rare return from England duties, against Kent at Canterbury last week, and can expect to concede it once again when the Australia international Mitchell Starc arrives.He was also a player that Graves had in mind when he responded to Yorkshire’s relegation last season by terming some performances as “a disgrace.” Shahzad, who had bowled much of thre season with ankle trouble, and who neded an operation in the close season, felt the criticism was unwarranted.All this will have been discussed when Shahzad held emergency talks with Graves and Yorkshire’s coaching staff on Tuesday morning. Quite what occured for Yorkshire to allow him to leave now rather than simply rely on time to improve his mood is not entirely known. The conclusion seems to have been that his dissatisfaction has become disruptive and is unlikely to be easily reversed. It is a very Yorkshire response – perhaps on all sides – to be so implacable with the season still in its infancy.Shahzad, at 26, will be an attractive proposition. He has played one Test match for England, taking four wickets against Bangladesh at Old Trafford in June 2010. He has also played 11 ODIs and three Twenty20 internationals.

Darren Sammy has pointed to Michael Hussey’s wicket as the most critical for the hosts as they attempt to secure a share of the Test series

Daniel Brettig in Roseau23-Apr-2012

West Indies captain Darren Sammy has pointed to Michael Hussey’s wicket as the most critical for the hosts as they attempt to secure a share of the Test series with Australia in Dominica to match the ledgers of this tour’s ODI and Twenty20 encounters.In a low-scoring series so far defined by the difficulty of scoring rapid runs on slow surfaces, Hussey’s contribution at No. 6 carries far more resonance than the mere numbers, a hard-won 177 runs at 44.25. Sammy said that while he was happy with how his bowlers – Kemar Roach especially – had fulfilled the plans drawn up by the coach Ottis Gibson to restrict Australia’s top order, Hussey’s recurring rearguards had to be stopped if the West Indies are to win at Windsor Park.”Hussey has always come in and played a crucial role, and that is one area we are looking to put a stop to,” Sammy said. “Once we get them five down, he seems to bat well with the lower order, so we’ll be looking to get him out as quickly as possible.”We’ve executed our plans to the top order really well and I know they’re wary of Roach. The first time he played against them they were and now he’s even bowling better. Fidel [Edwards] bowled well without any luck [in Trinidad] and I come in and do my role, [Shane] Shillingford had a good Test, so as a bowling unit I’m quite happy with the way we’ve gone in this series.”Edwards remains a doubtful starter due to a sore back, Sammy and the selectors conscious of the fact that the end of this series is swiftly followed by the tour of England, while Edwards has been ever present in the West Indian Test bowling attack over the past 12 months.”We’re still monitoring him, Fidel is still optimistic that he’s going to play,” Sammy said. “We’ll monitor it, speak to the physio and Fidel and by tomorrow morning we should have a definite on his situation.”The selectors will take into consideration that we’ve got to keep our bowlers fresh, especially Fidel, who had a long two-year break from the game and since he’s been back we’ve been playing a lot of cricket. So we take that into consideration, we have Ravi Rampaul waiting in the wings who was really good for us last year, and I know he’s itching to get another opportunity.”Windsor Park’s pitch has a little more grass coverage than the bare strips witnessed in Barbados and Trinidad, while batsmen on both sides were impressed on match eve by the pace, bounce and trueness of one of the other centre wickets used for training. Sammy said the surface would provide more encouragement to both batsmen and bowlers than either of the previous two pitches.”It has a little more grass, the ball will do something early,” Sammy said. “I played a four-day game against Guyana here and on the third day it was really good for batting. I expect it to be a good wicket, bowlers and batsmen will be happy. Both teams are looking to win so it should be a very exciting game on a good cricket pitch.”Sammy’s desire to build a more robust culture around his team has made great strides, and the incentive offered by a drawn series is significant, not having been achieved by the West Indies against Australia since an endlessly watchable encounter in 1999. It would also match the efforts of the ODI and T20 teams, and send the team to England with ever more optimism.”It would mean everything to us,” Sammy said of securing a 1-1 result. “When Australia came here everybody didn’t give us a chance, but we’ve played a brand of cricket that we want to get used to. That said we’ve still got to get the victories and that’s what we’re looking for. To level a series against Australia would be another stepping stone for us.”It’s a culture we’re trying to build in the team, the belief we can win against higher-ranked opposition. It’s slowly creeping in. In all three series we’ve displayed that type of attitude. Change sometimes it is difficult to accept and now the players are making a conscious effort to think more about their cricket and what it means to the Caribbean people, and we’re looking to display that sort of attitude.”The West Indies players will be reminded strongly of what their performances mean, by what are expected to be packed crowds at the ground, despite the match being played across the working week.Edited by Kanishkaa Balachandran

“Segundo time de todo carioca”, o América está muito perto de voltar à
elite do Campeonato Carioca. Neste sábado, às 15h, o Mecão recebe o Sampaio
Corrêa pelo jogo de volta da semifinal da Série B1, no Estádio Giulite
Coutinho. Na primeira partida, fora de casa, na última quarta-feira, o ti-
me comandado pelo ídolo Luizinho Lemos ganhou por 3 a 0.

Quem avançar, pega o vencedor de Americano e Audax na finalíssima
da competição. Eles se enfrentam no mesmo horário, em Cardoso Moreira. Na ida, o time de Campos venceu por 1 a 0. O América chegou a esta
fase da competição por ser uma das duas melhores campanhas na primeira fase, enquanto Americano e Audax ganharam um turno cada.

Caso sele o acesso, o América disputará a seletiva do Carioca de 2019
entre dezembro e janeiro. Volta Redonda e Nova Iguaçu, que tiveram
as piores campanhas no Carioca de 2018 disputarão a seletiva. Os outros dois times são o terceiro e o quarto do último ano (Goytacaz e Resende).

Se terminar entre os dois primeiros, aí sim, o América avançara à Taça Guanabara e Taça Rio e medirá forças com os quatro grandes. Sete vezes campeão estadual, o América foi rebaixado em 2008, 2011, 2016 e neste ano, quando caiu na Seletiva.

Capitão do time, o zagueiro Bruno Santos pede foco e concentração ao América mesmo com o bom resultado construído no jogo de ida.

-Precisamos manter a mesma pegada do primeiro jogo. Não será diferente no sábado. Temos que ter concentração. É um jogo de 180 minutos. Os primeiros 90 já passaram e conquistamos uma grande vantagem. Não podemos deixar o acesso escapar – comentou.

É bem possível que o São Paulo tenha um meio de campo “made in Cotia” no jogo contra o Fluminense, às 16h de domingo, no Morumbi, pela terceira rodada do returno do Brasileirão. Luan, Liziero e Shaylon são os favoritos a iniciarem jogando nas vagas que geralmente são de Jucilei (suspenso), Hudson (com dores no joelho direito) e Nenê (suspenso).

Esse trio só foi formado durante 15 minutos no profissional, na vitória por 2 a 0 sobre o Cruzeiro, no Mineirão, mas entrosamento não deve ser problema.

Luan e Liziero, por exemplo, conviveram diariamente por cerca de quatro anos, período em que moraram no Centro de Formação de Atletas Laudo Natel, em Cotia. Faz ainda mais tempo que eles se conhecem: oito anos, desde que eram apenas monitorados pela base são-paulina e não se alojavam no clube.

Como Liziero é um ano mais velho que o amigo, a dupla demorou um pouco para se fixar dentro do campo. Isso aconteceu no segundo semestre do ano passado, quando Luan passou a integrar o grupo sub-20. Os dois estiveram juntos no título da Copa RS de 2017, no vice-campeonato da Copa São Paulo Júnior de 2018 e na campanha que rendeu o quarto lugar na Libertadores, sempre como titulares – Liziero, algumas vezes, atuava como lateral-esquerdo.

Liziero também subiu um pouco antes ao elenco principal: estreou em março deste ano, na vitória por 3 a 1 sobre o Red Bull Brasil, pelo Paulistão. Já Luan estreou em julho, ao entrar nos instantes finais da vitória por 3 a 1 sobre o Corinthians e reeditar a dupla. No jogo seguinte, contra o Cruzeiro, os dois foram os volantes titulares e tiveram bom desempenho.

Luan agradou tanto que não voltou mais à base e fez o técnico Diego Aguirre desistir da ideia de ir buscar um novo volante no mercado. Domingo passado, contra o Ceará, começou jogando pela segunda vez e foi bem novamente.

Shaylon ficou menos tempo em Cotia do que os dois: chegou em 2016, vindo da Chapecoense, e foi promovido ao elenco profissional no início de 2017. Ele não chegou a jogar com Luan no sub-20, mas foi destaque do time campeão paulista da categoria em 2016, que tinha Liziero como reserva.

Com 21 anos, Shaylon é o mais velho do trio e soma 33 partidas como profissional no São Paulo, com quatro gols. Liziero, 20 anos, tem 17 partidas e um gol. Luan, 19 anos, jogou apenas três vezes até o momento.

Ainda não é possível saber se este será o meio de campo titular. Aguirre fechou os treinamentos e tem outras opções, como Everton Felipe, para o setor. Além disso, Hudson ainda não está totalmente descartado. O Tricolor divulgará a lista de relacionados neste sábado.
