Newcastle United: Toon interested in Nat Phillips swoop

Newcastle United are interested in swooping for Liverpool defender Nat Phillips, as reported by The Sun.

The Lowdown: Newcastle gear up for the 2021/22 season

As Steve Bruce refines his squad ahead of 2021/22, much intrigue will surround how the Magpies plan to build on their 12th place finish in the Premier League last season [BBC].

As of recently, Newcastle United have been linked with the likes of Kristoffer Ajer and Marc Guehi respectively, as they look to strengthen their depth in central defence.

However, they now seem to have turned their attention towards the 24-year-old as they look towards the new campaign.

The Latest: Magpies interested in Phillips swoop; may cost around £10 million

Presently, the Geordies are said to be courting Phillips in a deal that could total around £10 million [Sun]. This has become common knowledge after journalist Alan Nixon signified that the North East giants would have around £50 million to spend this summer on transfers [Sun].

In recent times, Burnley have also been accredited with keeping an eye on the 6ft 3in stopper [Lancashire Live]. Previously, Swansea City came close to signing the Reds defender on loan [Football League World].

The Verdict: Phillips would be a very astute prospective signing for Newcastle United

Without doubt, Phillips would be a welcome addition to the fold at Newcastle United. Coming out of nowhere due to a mass injury crisis for The Reds, he made 20 appearances in 2020/21 as he helped Liverpool to UEFA Champions League qualification [Transfermarkt].

Once labelled “brilliant” by manager Jurgen Klopp [Liverpool FC], the Englishman showed his domineering nature last year winning 5.6 aerial duels on average per game for Liverpool [WhoScored], the highest successful aerial tussle rate of anyone in the entire Reds’ squad [WhoScored].

Fitting the Steve Bruce philosophy, there is every chance that the Englishman could be a rousing success on Tyneside due to his aggressive nature and likeability as a player. Newcastle United should be pushing the boat out to acquire Phillips ahead of the new campaign.

In other news, Newcastle United face a potential blow in their pursuit of a reported target.

تشافي: ديمبلي لاعب محترف وجافي يريد البقاء في برشلونة

رفض تشافي هيرنانديز المدير الفني لفريق برشلونة الإسباني، الحديث عن سوق الانتقالات الصيفية، مشيرًا إلى أن تركيز الفريق في المباريات المقبلة بالدوري واليوروباليج.

برشلونة يواجه ليفانتي غدًا وفي حالة الفوز سيتساوى مع إشبيلية في المركز الثاني، مع مباراة مؤجلة للبلوجرانا.

وقال تشافي في المؤتمر الصحفي للمباراة: “لسنا هنا من أجل الحديث عن سوق الانتقالات، نحن نستعد لإنهاء هذا الموسم بأفضل طريقة ومن ثم نستعد للموسم المقبل، والإدارة تعرف أولوياتي، وعلينا أن نكون حذرين لأن الوضع الاقتصادي ما زال على ما هو عليه”.

وعن ديمبلي: “إنه لاعب محترف وملتزم، هناك عدد قليل من اللاعبين بهذا المستوى الفردي في العالم، إنه محترف ويعتني بنفسه الآن، ويعيش مع الفريق أيامًا جيدة، وليس لدي أي شكوك بأنه يساعدنا كثيرًا”.

وفيما يخص سيرجي روبيرتو، قال تشافي: “الإدارة الرياضية والرئيس يعرفون رأيي، عليهم التحدث إلى اللاعب والاتفاق معه، الأسبوع المقبل يمكنه البدء في العمل مع المجموعة، الوضع التعاقدي يعتمد عليه وعلى النادي”.

وواصل الإشادة بلاعبيه: “جوردي ألبا وحش تنافسي، بالنسبة لي هو لم يحصل على قيمته، سواء في الهجوم أو الدفاع، إنه قائد ويمارس ذلك في الفريق، لديه العديد من البدائل، ويتعلمون منه دائمًا”.

وأكمل: “إريك جارسيا كذلك يتطور، نحن سعداء به، وبتميزه في الخط الدفاعي بشكل رائع وقيادي، يعطينا الكثير من الحلول بالكرة، إنه مدافع مركزي لسنوات عديدة لبرشلونة بلا شك”.

وعن تجديد جافي: “أنا متفائل وأرى أن جافي يريد البقاء، وهذا يعتمد على النادي وعليه وممثله، إنه يستحق البقاء ونحن نقدره كثيرًا”.

واختتم بتوضيح موقف أداما تراوري: “سنرى ما يمكننا القيام به في السوق، إنه لاعب هام، وأدى عمله في برشلونة، وعندما يأتي الصيف سنرى ما يمكن أن نفعله”.

Após avaliar todo o grupo, Jair envia nesta segunda a lista da Libertadores

MatériaMais Notícias

O jogo é na quarta-feira, mas os jogadores do Botafogo que disputarão a primeira etapa da Taça Libertadores serão conhecidos até a noite desta segunda. O protocolo é da Conmebol, e as 25 vagas do elenco alvinegro já vêm sendo preenchidas desde o ano passado. O grupo de 2016, mais os reforços e, por último, as duas partidas já disputadas neste Campeonato Carioca dão as pistas dos relacionados para o duelo continental.

– Optamos por dar chance a todos. São sete garotos e vimos um primeiro tempo intenso. Pagamos o preço físico, assim como no primeiro jogo, contra o Madureira. Se jogássemos com aquele mesmo time, estaríamos melhores. O resultado não foi bom, mas foi bom poder avaliar. Tenho algumas coisas mais claras – analisou o técnico Jair Ventura, logo após o empate com o Nova Iguaçu, no sábado.

A relação de inscritos poderá ser alterada para a fase de grupos, para as oitavas e para as semifinais. Dos 25 desta segunda, poucas dúvidas pairam no ar. Quatro ou cinco zagueiros? Um ou dois dos atacantes de velocidade recém-contratados? Fernandes, Bochecha, Vinícius Tanque ou nenhum destes? Restam poucas vagas. E a bola está com Jair.

– Tento não fazer injustiça. Os jogos serviram para avaliarmos. Algumas coisas bateram, outras foram gratas surpresas – disse.

AS OPÇÕES

Os prováveis
Os goleiros Gatito Fernández, Helton Leite e Saulo; os laterais Jonas, Marcinho, Victor Luís e Gilson; os zagueiros Renan Fonseca, Emerson Silva e Carli; os volantes Airton, Bruno Silva, Rodrigo Lindoso, Dudu Cearense e Matheus Fernandes; os meias Camilo, Montillo, Leandrinho e João Paulo; e os atacantes Roger, Rodrigo Pimpão e Sassá.

Dúvidas
Luis Ricardo ainda não está totalmente recuperado da cirurgia a que foi submetido no tornozelo esquerdo, mas poderá estar para o mata-mata seguinte; Marcelo fez um gol e a dupla com Igor Rabello foi elogiada, mas um dos dois pode precisar ficar fora; Pachu, Guilherme e Joel tiveram desempenhos apenas regular no jogo de domingo. Talvez nem todos sejam incluídos no grupo.

Fora ou quase
Jefferson só deverá ser incluído se o Glorioso chegar à fase de grupos da Libertadores; só um milagre coloca Emerson entre os relacionados. O zagueiro vive imbróglio em torno da renovação contratual; Fernandes e Bochecha são, atualmente, as últimas opções no meio-campo; Vinícius Tanque e Renan Gorne estão no fim da fila do ataque. Podem se beneficiar da longa recuperação do chileno Canales.

Bushrangers set up Final showdown with Bulls

Victoria has taken first innings points against New South Wales – and, with them, clinched a spot in the 2000-01 Pura Cup Final – after the sides’ match ended in adraw here at the Sydney Cricket Ground today

Felicity Shea12-Mar-2001Victoria has taken first innings points against New South Wales – and, with them, clinched a spot in the 2000-01 Pura Cup Final – after the sides’ match ended in adraw here at the Sydney Cricket Ground today.After rain had wiped out most of the morning’s play, the Bushrangers secured their place in the decider (which they will play against Queensland in a fortnight’s time)just before tea when they dismissed the valiant Blues for 371 as they pursued a total of 409.An outright victory in this match would have seen the Blues draw level with Victoria on the points table but the combination of rain and a persistent Bushrangers outfitensured that the dream was never to become a reality. Instead, the Blues will have to console themselves with being Mercantile Mutual Cup winners, and with the factthat they could end the summer as high as third on the Pura Cup table – a result far better than those achieved over recent years.Led by Michael Clarke (106) and Shane Lee (94), the Blues staged a gallant, but ultimately unsuccessful, bid on this fourth and last day of the match to keep theirflickering hopes of a Final appearance alive.A superbly crafted fifth wicket partnership of 106 runs from Clarke and Lee had given the New South Welshmen great impetus during such play as was possible forthe morning and, prior to the disruption of the stand, there were growing signs of frustration from the fielding team.Much like last week, in the monster fifth wicket partnership of 264 with younger teammate Mark Higgs – who went on to score 181 not out – Lee’s experienceprovided the cornerstone of the partnership. But little credit should be taken away from the rapidly maturing Clarke, whose maiden first-class century underlined hisfine powers of concentration as well as pointing to his possession of a vast array of strokes.It was with the score at 290 that the Bushrangers finally found a way through. Clarke skied a mistimed shot at medium pacer Jonathan Moss (1/52) to mid off, andwatched as the ball was plucked from the air by skipper Paul Reiffel.Clarke’s departure brought debutant wicketkeeper Nathan Pilon (8) to the crease. He survived a huge lbw appeal against Moss but lasted no more than another twoballs, comprehensively bowled by a superb off break from John Davison (3/101).Unfortunately for Lee, Anthony Clark (3) was not long for this world – or at least this innings anyway – and was sent back to the pavilion after he had yorked himself inmoving forward at a delivery from Cameron White (4/65).MacGill played down the wrong line at a delivery from Mathew Inness (2/65) and then Lee and number eleven Nathan Bracken (0*) could only add eight runs for thefinal wicket.Lee continued to hit lustily but tried the tactic once too often. One clean hit away from chalking up three figures, he tried to bludgeon a White delivery over mid wicket,only to miss with the shot at a ball that pitched on a middle and leg stump line and did not spin much.The Victorians began their second innings late in the day but it proved no more than an exercise in marking time before an inevitable early conclusion. Jason Arnberger(1) endured the misfortune of being dismissed – to a regulation outside edge at Stuart Clark (1/10) – in the twenty-five minute exhibition that followed but there waslittle else of note in the exhibition. At 4:49pm, the end of the contest – and, in effect, New South Wales’ season – was reached.

فينجر عن تجديد عقد محمد صلاح مع ليفربول: ستظهر مشكلة أخرى

كشف آرسين فينجر المدرب السابق لفريق آرسنال، عن رأيه تجاه ملف تجديد عقد محمد صلاح في ليفربول.

ومن المقرر أن ينتهي العقد الحالي للنجم المصري صاحب الـ29 عامًا مع ليفربول في صيف 2023.

ولم يتوصل محمد صلاح إلى اتفاق مع مسؤولي ليفربول بشأن التجديد، بسبب اختلافهما حول المطالب المالية، حيث يريد اللاعب ما يتراوح بين 450-500 ألف جنيه إسترليني.

وقال فينجر في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “ليفربول إيكو” الإنجليزية: “أحيانًا تضطر إلى حل مشكلة، ولكنك في الوقت نفسه تتسبب في حدوث مشكلة أخرى”.

وأضاف الفرنسي: “عليك أن تبذل قصارى جهدك لإبقاء محمد صلاح، أنا على علم بأن اللاعبين الآخرين ليسوا بعيدين عنه في المستوى، ولكن لن يعد هناك ما يكفي من المال لإرضائهم، لأنك أنفقت الكثير على هذا اللاعب (صلاح)”.

وواصل: “يقدم محمد صلاح موسمًا استثنائيًا، ومنذ قدومه كل عام يصبح أفضل، هو يستحق عقده”.

واستكمل: “الشيء الوحيد هو أنه بمجرد بلوغهم الثلاثين من العمر، فإنك تفكر في عدد السنوات التي سيقدمها بعد ذلك، لأنك تعرف أن أفضل ما لديه قد قدمه بالفعل، وسيبدأ مستواه في التراجع بشكل طبيعي”.

Athlético-PR oficializa contratação do zagueiro Felipe Aguilar, ex-Santos

MatériaMais Notícias

O Athlético-PR anunciou por meio das suas redes sociais a contratação do zagueiro Felipe Aguilar, que estava no Santos. O jogador foi adquirido por R$ 10 milhões por 50% dos direitos econômicos, a outra metade permanecerá com o Peixe. O vínculo do colombiano com o Furacão será de quatro anos.

Pelo Peixe, Aguilar fez 39 jogos e marcou um gol. O colombiano foi comprado pelo Alvinegro por R$ 15 milhões, junto ao Atlético Nacional (COL) no início do ano passado. A ideia da diretoria é reaver o investimento, já que Aguilar não vinha sendo titular. A venda por 2/3 do valor de compra com possibilidade de ganho futuro é vista como um bom negócio pelos santistas.

O jogador já havia postado em suas redes sociais nesta terça-feira um agradecimento ao Peixe, que foi retribuído pelo clube.

No Furacão, Felipe Aguilar poderá formar zaga com Robson Bambu, outro ex-santista que atua na equipe paranaense e atualmente é titular.

Spurs planning move for Damsgaard

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a summer ‘assault’ for young Sampdoria midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard, according to Samp News 24.

The lowdown

Damsgaard only signed for Sampdoria last summer, making a £6.08 million move from Nordsjaelland in his native Denmark.

The 20-year-old made 35 Serie A appearances in his debut season, 18 of which were starts.

Predominantly a left midfielder, Damsgaard scored two goals and provided four assists (via WhoScored).

Claudio Ranieri, a title-winning manager with Leicester City and Damsgaard’s former manager at Sampdoria, described him as a ‘prodigy’.

He’s currently representing his country at the European Championships.

The latest

Spurs have apparently been targeting Damsgaard ‘for months’, and the arrival of Fabio Paratici as managing director of football will add fresh impetus to their pursuit.

Sampdoria don’t want to sell their starlet, but the report says an offer of €20million (£17.2million) could be enough to tempt them.

Spurs aren’t the only team tracking him, with Serie A giants Inter and Juventus also said to be interested.

The verdict

Damsgaard looks to be one of the most exciting young attacking talents in Europe, and Spurs could regret it if a rival suitor swoops in.

His attacking numbers might not be eye-catching, but his ceiling is clearly very high. Let’s not forget that 17 of his appearances came off the bench – if you look at his numbers per 90 minutes, he managed 2.6 dribbles and 2.1 tackles per showing, providing a great balance of skill going forward and tenaciousness in tracking back.

The proposed fee also looks reasonable, especially when you consider that it’s already tripled in the space of 12 months, suggesting he could be worth much more as he continues to develop.

Spurs could thus secure a player with plenty of potential and make profit in the long-term if he is sold again in the future.

In other news, Alasdair Gold has shed light on Paratici’s plan.  

كلوب يُعلن إصابة لاعب ليفربول بـ فيروس كورونا

Vasco volta a jogar mal, mas vence o ABC e avança na Copa do Brasil

MatériaMais Notícias

Valeu pelo resultado e pela classificação. Assim o Vasco pode encarar a vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o ABC, nesta quinta-feira, no Maracanã. Em mais uma atuação muito irregular, o Cruz-Maltino contou com o gol de Cano, sofreu até o fim, mas avançou à terceira fase da Copa do Brasil, quando o time de Abel Braga vai encarar o Goiás. Os confrontos com o Esmeraldino ainda não tem data definida.

TABELA
> Confira a os próximos confrontos da Copa do Brasil

Bom começo
Os primeiros minutos da partida no Maracanã foram animadores para a torcida do Vasco. O time de Abel Braga fez uma boa pressão até os 25 minutos e teve chances de marcar com Guarín, Marrony e Cano. Mostrando um pouco mais vontade do que organização propriamente dita, o Cruz-Maltino mostrou um futebol que foi pouco visto até aqui na temporada.

Haja paciência
Mas durou pouco a animação da torcida com o time. E com razão. Na segunda metade do primeiro tempo, o Vasco voltou a apresentar os problemas que tem marcado este começo de ano: falta de organização e problemas para concluir as jogadas. O ABC até chegou a rondar a área do Vasco neste momento, mas pouco conseguiu fazer também. Assim, os vascaínos presentes nas arquibancadas ensaiaram algumas vaias e músicas de protesto.

A situação só não piorou porque, logo aos 5 do segundo tempo, o atacante Paulo Sérgio perdeu um gol inacreditável, sem goleiro e quase embaixo da trave.

Sempre ele
Até então apagado na partida e errando lances que não costuma errar, Cano apareceu e foi decisivo quando precisava ser. Em jogada bem trabalhada que começou pelo lado direito, aos 15, Raul recebeu pelo meio e tocou para Marrony, que foi até a linha de fundo e cruzou rasteiro para a área, onde o argentino só empurrou para as redes. Foi o quinto gol do centroavante em nove jogos na temporada. Ele ainda perderia outra chance, que quase fez falta no fim, quando o ABC pressionou até o último minuto, mas não conseguiu marcar. A atuação ruim gerou vaias no fim do jogo.

Cícero se apresenta ao São Paulo nos EUA e fica à disposição de Ceni

MatériaMais Notícias

Quarta contratação do São Paulo para a temporada 2017, Cícero já está integrado ao elenco do técnico Rogério Ceni. Ele se apresentou neste domingo em Bradenton, nos Estados Unidos, onde a equipe realiza a pré-temporada e se prepara para a disputa da Flórida Cup.

Cícero chegou na parte da manhã e apenas acompanhou o treinamento dos companheiros. Como estava de férias com a família nos Estados Unidos, ele recebeu autorização do São Paulo para se apresentar depois do grupo e agora passará por um trabalho físico antes de ser liberado integralmente ao técnico Ceni.

Aos 32 anos, Cícero chegou com a moral de ter sido indicado por Rogério. Ele estava no Fluminense e assinou com o São Paulo por duas temporadas, a pedido do treinador. Os dois trabalharam juntos entre 2011 e 2012 no Tricolor paulista e o ex-goleiro é entusiasta do futebol do meia. Ceni pensa em utilizá-lo como segundo volante, mas também o vê capaz de executar todas as outras funções do meio de campo.

Além de Cícero, o Tricolor contratou o goleiro Sidão e os atacantes Wellington Nem e Neilton até o momento. A diretoria tem negociações avançadas com o centroavante Christian Colmán, do Nacional do Paraguai, e conversa com o argentino Jonathan Calleri, do West Ham (ING), que cogita um retorno imediato.
