Jonathan Trott’s resistance was in vain as Lancashire wrapped up a 65-run victory over Warwickshire at Edgbaston for their third Championship win of the season.Warwickshire were challenged to make 441, the highest fourth-innings total in their history, to deny Lancashire and they briefly threatened to reach that target. Trott and Neil Carter put on 102 in 26 overs in a defiant seventh-wicket stand which denied Lancashire their first breakthrough of the day until half an hour before lunch.But once Carter went, bowled by Sajid Mahmood, the chase faltered. Trott was last out, caught on the mid-wicket boundary for 150, in the second over after lunch as Warwickshire were dismissed for 375.Carter was the main aggressor in the partnership with Trott, making a belligerent 92-ball 73 which tested the patience of Lancashire’s England paceman James Anderson. Carter twice top-edged pulls off Anderson for four over wicketkeeper Luke Sutton, which forced Lancashire captain Glen Chapple to post a long stop to stifle the left-hander.Carter’s third half-century in six championship innings swept Warwickshire along at almost a run-a-minute rate for the first hour and it looked like his luck might be in when he was dropped at long leg by Ashwell Prince on 62.Carter pulled Mahmood but Prince fumbled the chance and the ball bobbled over the rope for four. Trott, who had completed his first championship century of the season yesterday, contributed only 24 to the stand with Carter but he was content to play a sensible supporting role, defending solidly and nudging the singles to allow his partner to attack.The stand was eventually broken when Carter was beaten by a well-concealed slower-ball yorker from Mahmood when Warwickshire had got their target down below 100. Once Lancashire had made the breakthrough it was a matter of trying to keep Trott off strike and working away at the other end.Imran Tahir’s jittery stay was brief as he was caught behind fencing at Anderson, which gave the England man his first wicket of a match he joined at the halfway stage direct from the World Twenty20 in the West Indies.Lancastrian Andy Miller blocked out against Mahmood but gave Anderson his second wicket when he nibbled to Sutton after Trott took a leg bye. That left Trott with only last man Boyd Rankin to keep him company and he fired a few defiant shots, pulling Mahmood for four in the last over before lunch.Warwickshire were nine down at the interval and Trott reached 150 courtesy of a dropped catch by Paul Horton at long-on off Mahmood, before he pulled the same bowler to Steven Croft who held a running catch at deep mid-wicket.

David Hussey led the charge as the Nottinghamshire Outlaws moved further aheadat the top of the Friends Provident t20 North Division with a six-wicket winunder the Derby floodlights.The Australian demolished the Derbyshire Falcons attack, smashing four sixesand five fours in a 34-ball 65 to take his side to their target of 153 with twoovers to spare.He added 95 in 10 overs with Matthew Wood who hit the winning runs to finishunbeaten on 51 from 48 balls. The Falcons had been two for three before Garry Park revived them in his firstTwenty20 innings of the season with 66 from 54 balls to take the home side to152 for 7.That total looked a long way off when Wes Durston, who smashed a century atTrent Bridge last week, was out to the second ball of the innings when DarrenPattinson bowled him with a full length ball.The Falcons lost two more wickets in the first two overs as Chesney Hughespulled Pattinson to deep mid-wicket and Loots Bosman chopped Dirk Nannes intohis stumps. But Park and Greg Smith batted sensibly until Smith was deceived by a slowerball from Steven Mullaney who then removed Robin Peterson with an off-cutter.When John Sadler drove to long on, the Falcons were 89 for six but the Outlawslost their discipline in the last five overs with Nannes conceding 30 from hislast two.Steffan Jones faced only seven balls for his unbeaten 15 which took the Falconspast 150 and Charl Langeveldt celebrated his return to Derby by pinning AlistairBrown lbw with his first ball. Alex Hales pulled the South African for the first six of the night and Wooddrove Jones over cover for another but Hales was bowled sweeping Peterson andafter 10 overs, the Outlaws still had plenty to do on 62 for 2.Hussey then pressed the accelerator, lofting Greg Smith straight for six anddriving him over long off for another maximum as the Outlaws cruised towardstheir target.Although Hussey was bowled swinging at Charl Langeveldt and Samit Patel chippedto mid on, it was too late to deny the Outlaws a fifth victory and the doubleover the Falcons who have now lost three of their six matches.

تشافي: لا أريد خداع أحد.. خسرنا دوري الأبطال لكن أمامنا ألقاب أخرى نتوج بها

قام تشافي هيرنانديز بتقييم معنى الإقصاء، للسنة الثانية على التوالي، من النزاع في دوري أبطال أوروبا والدوري الأوروبي وحلّل الهزيمة أمام بايرن ميونخ في مباراة كامب نو، وانتقد نفسه لكنه يرفض الحديث عن الفشل.

وتعرض برشلونة لهزيمة بثلاثية دون رد من بايرن ميونخ وتحدث تشافي عقب المباراة ونشرت صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية تصريحاته. 

وقال تشافي: “أشكر الجمهور على الدعم غير المشروط، لقد ظهر ذلك منذ وصولي، اليوم، مرة أخرى، الجو كان رائعًا، بايرن كان أفضل، لا يوجد شيء نلومه، هذا هو واقعنا الآن”.

وأضاف: “علينا الانفصال عن دوري الأبطال وأواجه مسابقات أخرى، لقد قلت بالفعل إنه لا يزال يتعين علينا أن ننمو، لكن ذلك لن يكون مناسبًا للجماهير”.

وواصل مدرب الفريق الكتالوني: “اليوم لم نصل إلى مستواهم، لقد كانوا أفضل، في ميونيخ كنا نحن أفضل، لكن اليوم أصبحوا أفضل وأكثر كثافة، الإقصاء أثر علينا نفسيًا”.

وأستطرد تشافي: “غدًا، للتدريب والتفكير في الليجا، كانت هناك توقعات كثيرة، كانت مجموعة معقدة، كل شيء حدث لنا، لقد كان قاسيًا للغاية، اليوم لم ننافس بشكل جيد”.

وشدد بشأن الصافرات على لاعبه بوسكيتس: “لقد قلت بالفعل إنه يجب أن نكون متحدين، ومواجهة الموقف، إنه إقصاء من دوري أبطال أوروبا، لكن الموسم لا ينتهي في أكتوبر، هناك المزيد من المسابقات المتبقية، إنها نكسة، عليك أن تطالب وتحلل”.

وإذا كان ذلك فشلًا، أشار تشافي: “نحن نعلم أن كل شيء قد حدث لنا، كل المواقف الممكنة، أفهم أنه من الخارج هناك حديث عن الفشل لكن من الداخل نقوم بتحليل آخر، الشيء الرئيسي هو أخطائنا، أننا لم نكن على المستوى بسبب الفاعلية أو الأخطاء”.

وتابع: “الطريق للذهاب في المنافسة، في انتظار نتيجة المباراة (إشارة لمباراة إنتر ميلان وفيكتوريا بلزن)، هو أيضًا قاسي، نغادر بشعور سيء، إذا قمنا بتحليل المباريات الأخرى، أعتقد أننا نستحق المزيد”.

وأكمل مدرب برشلونة: “بايرن كان أكثر قوة وكان أفضل، نحن نتنافس في جميع المباريات، ولكن ليس اليوم، علينا أن ننتقد أنفسنا، نحن هكذا بسبب أخطائنا، لقد أثرت علينا، لقد أخبرتهم أن ذلك كانت مسألة شجاعة وكبرياء … لكنهم تجاوزونا”.

وأكد تشافي: “سبق أن قلت إن هذه المنافسة كانت قاسية، لكننا اليوم سقطنا بسبب أخطائنا، لقد خرجنا بسبب أخطائنا، ولكن علينا أن نستمر .. علينا الرد .. هذا لا ينتهي هنا .. الأمر يعتمد علينا ولم نحققه .. إنها خيبة أمل .. علينا إعادة البناء .. نحن في فريق تحت الإنشاء”.

وأصر تشافي: “لا يزال هناك حماس للفوز بالألقاب، يمكننا الفوز بالألقاب بصراحة، لا أريد أن أخدع أحدًا، لا أريد أن أخدع الجماهير، لكن كان ذلك بسبب أخطائنا، وليس كما حدث في العام الماضي”.

وسُئل تشافي عن شعوره وأجاب: “أنا بخير، لقد تأثرت بعد المباراة مع إنتر ميلان، لقد أصبت بالفشل، ولكن هناك المزيد من المسابقات المتبقية، لقد خسرنا مسابقة، لكن يمكننا الفوز بالدوري الأوروبي والليجا، والكأس، وكأس السوبر، هناك المزيد من الألقاب، وعلينا أن نكون إيجابيين”.

Rangers contract news on Arfield

Glasgow Rangers have now been gifted a big boost in their hope of tying Scott Arfield down to a new deal at the club.

The Lowdown: van Bronckhorst wants him

Speaking to the media before their 3-3 draw away at Ross County (via The Glasgow Times), manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst admitted that he wants to keep Arfield beyond his current contract with the Teddy Bears, which will run out in the summer.

As the Dutchman says, the central midfield player has been ‘really important‘ to the side, as he has played 27 matches in total across all competitions for them this term, scoring four goals (Transfermarkt).

At 33 years of age with 19 international caps to his name, he is one of the most experienced players in the dressing room.

The Latest: Arfield speaks out

Speaking to the media in a pre-game press conference ahead of their match at home to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday afternoon, Arfield has now revealed that his agent is talking with the club about a potential new deal:

“My agent is talking to the club, this is a club I want to be a part of.

“I love being part of this football club.”

The Verdict: Big boost

Called a ‘very clever’ player by former boss Steven Gerrard, Arfield is someone who can still thrive under another coach in van Bronckhorst, and there is no doubt that he is still a key part of the team.

Yes, there will be a time when the Light Blues will have to start thinking about phasing him out given his age, but the Canadian should be given at least until the end of next season in order to help stabilise the ship under the new boss.

Nonetheless, he is someone that the fans want to keep at Ibrox too, and so a new deal will work out for all parties involved.

Frustrada com os resultados do time em 2017, a torcida do Flamengo termina o ano com um novo xodó: Lucas Paquetá. O jovem meia-atacante está em alta com os torcedores, que o exaltaram após o empate diante do Independiente por 1 a 1, que deu o título da Sul-Americana aos argentinos. Identificado com o Clube da Gávea, o camisa 39 conquistou os rubro-negros pela técnica e garra dentro das quatro linhas, mas emocionou com as palavras após a decisão.

-Ser Flamengo é ir em frente onde outros param, é derrubar barreiras onde os prudentes medram… Na vida ninguém pode ou consegue vencer sempre, pelo que as derrotas também fazem parte e as vezes é com elas que aprendemos as lições mais valiosas. Ser FLAMENGO não é para qualquer um, é para os fortes! Agradeço também por toda torcida e energias positivas! Que 2018 seja um ano de vitórias! – diz parte do texto publicado por Paquetá, nesta quinta-feira.

Até mesmo torcedores de outros times, inclusive de tradicionais adversários do Rio de Janeiro, renderam-se ao talento do garoto revelado pelo Flamengo.

Everton open talks with Fabio Cannavaro

Everton are on the hunt for their new manager to lead the club out of a tumultuous season so far that has left the club teetering on the edge of the relegation zone just four points clear of the drop in 16th right now, and Farhad Moshiri is wasting no more time after the most recent defeat to Aston Villa at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon.

What’s the word?

According to TuttoSport via Sport Witness, Everton manager candidate, Fabio Cannavaro has made an ‘excellent impression’ on Moshiri and Bill Kenwirght during ‘preliminary talks’ for the potential of taking on the role as the next manager at Goodison Park.

The report states that discussions opened on Wednesday between the Italian legend and the Everton board, with Cannavaro believing it could be the ‘turning point’ in his career.

Sky Sports have reported a number of names in the running for the Premier League job, including Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Graham Potter, who ruled himself out early on, and Roberto Martinez who had the move blocked by the Belgian FA.

Better suited than Benitez

Although the 48-year-old’s CV does not match up to that of former Toffees manager Rafa Benitez, he does come with a better career win rate that is currently 55% compared to the Spaniard’s 49%.

Despite his lack of managerial know-how at an elite level, the Italian, who was hailed an “icon” by Leonardo Bonucci, still brings from his long and successful career some invaluable experiences, winning the Ballon d’Or, World Cup and two La Liga titles to name a few of his impressive accolades.

This winning mentality that Cannavaro has earned and developed throughout his playing career could have a great and unique influence on the Everton team who are clearly lacking confidence and inspiration which has translated into their performances, causing a downward spiral that has led to their ongoing demise in the Premier League with just five wins from 20 games.

Successful players who turn their hand to management, have gone onto great things when given the opportunity to manage at an elite level, with Zinedine Zidane the perfect example of a hugely successful winner as a player turning into a managerial success, and Cannavaro could find the right path with Everton if he was given the opportunity to manage the side.

Moshiri will need to make a decision on the direction for the Merseyside club soon, as Toffees fans fury boiled over this weekend with supporters becoming aggressive in the stadium by throwing bottles at players, protests in the stands and even fans approaching Bill Kenwright after the defeat on Saturday.

Leeds still ‘pressing’ for Ola Aina signing

Leeds United are still ‘pressing’ to seal the signing of Torino right-back Ola Aina in the January transfer window, according to a fresh transfer rumour.

The Lowdown: Aina linked with Leeds move

It has been a quiet start to the month at Elland Road but it would be a surprise if no new faces arrived in the coming weeks, given the horrendous injury crisis Marcelo Bielsa is currently contending with.

One player who has been linked with a move to Leeds is Aina, who has made 13 Serie A appearances for Torino this season, continuing to impress after graduating from Chelsea’s youth academy.

Despite this, the Italian club don’t appear to be against the idea of letting the 25-year-old leave this month, no doubt giving the Whites hope that a deal can be struck.

[freshpress-quiz id=“383507″]

The Latest: Whites still ‘pressing’

According to Corriere Granata [via Sport Witness], Leeds are still hoping to get a deal sorted imminently and the two clubs will ‘continue to negotiate’.

It is stated that there is ‘no agreement’ in place yet for the former Chelsea man, though.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-leeds-united-news-31/” title=”Latest Leeds United news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Verdict: Good news

Given the number of stories emerging, it does look as though Leeds see Aina as a genuine option and he could be a shrewd signing for Bielsa.

At 25, he is five years younger than Luke Ayling and could represent a long-term replacement for him, having made an impressive six tackles and four clearances for Nigeria in their Africa Cup of Nations opener against Egypt earlier this week, earning him Whoscored’s Man of the Match award.

On the contrary, Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah was completely shut down by Aina and his Super Eagles teammates, as he mustered the second-lowest rating of the 22 starters while the Serie A man thrived.

Aina’s current Torino deal expires in the summer of 2o23, highlighting the fact that they are running out of time to receive a fee for him, which arguably makes a move even more likely.

In other news, a journalist has claimed that Leeds won’t be signing one player. Find out who it is here.
