Tottenham insider shocked by Sessegnon update

Tottenham Hotspur left-back Ryan Sessegnon doesn’t deserve to be handed a new contract at the club, according to Lilywhite Rose insider John Wenham.

The Lowdown: Conte plots new deal

The 21-year-old first joined Spurs in a £25m move from Fulham in 2019, but has only made a total of 29 appearances in all competitions during that time.

Just last week however, a source from N17 revealed to Football Insider that the Premier League giants have reportedly opened talks with Sessegnon over a new deal at the request of Antonio Conte.

The Italian is apparently now personally making it clear to the hierarchy that he sees the youngster as a “huge” talent.

The Latest: A waste of money?

It would seem, however, that Wenham has a very different opinion of the defender.

When asked for his view on this contract update, the insider was baffled by Conte’s call, telling Football Insider: “Sessegnon, for £30million or whatever it was, what have we seen?

“I have to be realistic in my commentary, there just isn’t anything there. I get there are a lot of reasons to like him on paper.

“He’s a young English talent who had a great season for Fulham a few years ago. What have Tottenham seen?

“I think the injuries he has had might have cost him the ability to take players on, he just doesn’t do it anymore.

“I appreciate the injury side of things but that’s football. Now we are hearing he’s getting a new deal.

“I really don’t get that. What has he done to deserve that? Am I missing something? He’s already got a deal until 2024.

“Is it because he’s homegrown and we spent a lot of money on him? I really don’t understand that decision.”

The Verdict: Limited opportunities

Despite Conte claiming that he’s a big fan of the England U21 ace, Sessegnon has only been given 705 minutes of game time in the top-flight under the Italian boss this term, with two of his outings coming from the bench.

Former Spurs manager Jose Mourinho previously hailed the ex-Fulham prospect a “fantastic” player during his time in charge, but he has clearly fallen down the pecking order since his departure and simply cannot stay fit long enough to become a serious fixture in the XI.

A move away from north London could prove to be the best option for Sessegnon at this moment in time, and time will tell if Spurs heed Wenham’s warnings.

Finn has faith in ability to adjust

Steven Finn believes he is ready to step up the intensity as England build towards the first Test in Brisbane later this month

ESPNcricinfo staff10-Nov-2010Steven Finn believes he is ready to step up the intensity as England build towards the first Test in Brisbane later this month, and expects the crowd at Adelaide for Thursday’s second warm-up match against South Australia to play their part in trying to unsettle an unusually issue-free England squad.England’s victory in their opening first-class warm-up match in Perth last week was the first time in 45 years that they had launched an Ashes tour with a win, and Finn played an important part in that effort, having overcome a tricky first spell to return decent match figures of 3 for 115 in 34 overs.”We copped a bit of abuse at the WACA last week in that last innings,” Finn told reporters in Adelaide. “It’s something we’re prepared for, we’ll embrace and we’re going to try to enjoy. Friendly banter is good – to make sure we’re accessible as people, we’re human beings as well, and everyone’s got a sense of humour.”You can see the funny side when people are chirping you. It’s part of what we have to expect as international cricketers, and to be able to deal with that is important.”While he couldn’t claim to be entirely happy with his efforts, Finn was nevertheless pleased that he was able to adjust his length to suit the WACA wicket, having started the game with a length that was far too full for the conditions. By the final day, however, he had settled into a decent rhythm that boded well for future challenges.”I slid around in the footholds in the first innings a little bit – but I don’t want to make excuses,” said Finn. “I’m not the sort of person who is going to sit there and say it was because of the footholds I was bowling full.”It might have contributed. But I didn’t bowl well in my first spell and went for three or four an over – which is something I don’t want to do in Australia. I adapted and managed to bowl better lengths. It’s important that process happens quicker in future.”With 32 wickets in his eight Tests to date, and with an imposing 6’8″ frame that ought to be well-suited to Australia conditions, Finn has been earmarked as a vital part of England’s attack, even though he has never before set foot in the country. With that in mind, he is trying not to worry about getting everything right at once.”I was happy with how I bowled towards the end of the first innings,” he said. “It was that first spell that I wasn’t happy with at all. But I’m 21 years old, and understand that I’m going to be inconsistent every now and again. But it’s important that I don’t settle for that and I try to make myself better each time I go out and bowl – and learn every time too.”England are expected to name an unchanged side for the South Australia match, with Alastair Cook the only major concern form-wise, following his scores of 5 and 9 at the WACA. However, England’s coach, Andy Flower, dismissed any doubts, saying: “It’s one game, two innings. I think he’s going to do well.”

Country must come before IPL, CLT20 – Clarke

Michael Clarke has said international players can find a way around hectic schedules, but it could involve giving the IPL and Champions League T20 an occasional miss

Michael Clarke, the Australia vice-captain, has said international players can find a way around hectic schedules, but it could involve giving the IPL and Champions League T20 an occasional miss to make sure they are at their best when playing for the country. Clarke was speaking on a day two of Australia’s first-choice players – Michael Hussey and Doug Bollinger – joined the squad, two days before the start of the Test series. India await their Chennai Super Kings players MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina and M Vijay.Clarke said the Australian team had no choice with Bollinger and Hussey, but he saw the positives in the fact that they were playing “tough” cricket, playing well, and winning it. Australia arrived in India in similar circumstances last year as well, with Brett Lee, Nathan Hauritz and Doug Bollinger joining the team on the eve of the first ODI after their Champions League commitments. Lee lasted one match in that series.Clarke was firm that the players needed to be wise while choosing where and when to play in a modern cricketing world full of opportunities. “For me, we all have a choice,” he said. “You don’t have to play IPL. You don’t have to play Champions League. For me, personally, right now it is about representing my country, and every game I can play for Australia, I will do that. That’s my priority. If, as an individual player, you are tired or your body needs some rest, you need to make that commitment outside of international cricket. You need to, maybe, play less in the IPL or play less in the Champions League.”Clarke and Mitchell Johnson are two high-profile Australia players to have not taken part in the IPL yet.Hectic schedules, he said, were part of a modern cricketer’s life. “There is obviously a lot of cricket on at the moment, but it’s a part of what you do as a professional athlete,” he said. “You train every day, and when you are not training, you are playing or travelling. I think it’s all about adapting and trying to make do as much as you can.”When we leave this tour, we have one day at home before we fly to Perth to play the Twenty20 match against Sri Lanka. So you have completely different conditions, completely different opposition, completely different format. So you have to be able to adjust, and that’s probably the toughest thing about cricket these days. You have three different formats, in so many different conditions around the world.”Like Australia, who have three days between the India tour and the home limited-overs series against Sri Lanka, India have five days between their last ODI against New Zealand and their first Test in South Africa. Clarke, however, said that players enjoyed the fact that there was so much cricket to choose from. “That’s a great challenge that you look forward to. Having success in all the different conditions in the world makes you a good international cricketer,” he said. “That’s probably the hardest thing: that you have to travel and play in so many different conditions. But there are so many positives. You get to experience so many different cultures. Different parts of the world. It certainly helps your cricket.”

Gidman sets up vital victory

Gloucestershire captain Alex Gidman hit his first century of the season as his team kept alive their hopes of a place in the semi-finals with a nine-wicket victory over the Netherlands at Bristol

30-Aug-2010
ScorecardGloucestershire captain Alex Gidman hit his first century of the season as his team kept alive their hopes of a place in the Clydesdale Bank 40 semi-finals with a nine-wicket victory over the Netherlands at Bristol.Michael Dighton (51) and Wesley Barresi (39) helped the visitors to 191 all out after winning the toss in excellent batting conditions. David Payne returned 3 for 33. The total never seemed likely to be enough, and the Gladiators cruised to victory despite losing Will Porterfield to the first ball of their innings, with Gidman’s 104 not out and James Franklin’s unbeaten 77 guiding them to their target with 3.3 overs to spare.The result put Gloucestershire back into second place in Group B with 16 points from their 11 games and, depending on other results, victory at Northamptonshire in their final fixture could see them finish as the best second-placed side.Gidman had just one moment of anxiety in a fluent hundred, made off 112 balls with 11 fours. Peter Borren thought he had caught him at short midwicket early in his innings, but the umpires decided the ball has been taken on the half-volley.Franklin was equally assured, picking the ones and twos, in a perfectly-paced partnership. By the end the New Zealander had faced 103 deliveries and hit only four fours.The Netherlands finish their group campaign with just a solitary victory. But they looked to have laid the foundation for a bigger score when reaching 132 for 2 in the 32nd over. Eric Szwarczynski and Wilfred Diepeveen gave them a solid start with a stand of 41 in 12 overs before Szwarczynski was bowled cutting at James Franklin for 18.It was 47 for 2 when left-arm spinner Ed Young took his first wicket for Gloucestershire, turning one past Diepeveen’s forward defensive shot. But Dighton and Barresi then added 85 in 17 overs with the best batting of the innings, Dighton reaching his half-century off 54 balls, with two fours and two sixes.The game changed when Dighton was run out by Gidman’s throw to the bowler’s end from midwicket as he attempted a quick single. It was the first of eight wickets to fall in as many overs as Gidman (2 for 23) and Steve Kirby (2 for 32) joined Payne in pegging back the visitors as they attempted to accelerate in the closing overs.

Ligação entre meio e ataque falha e Flamengo só empata na estreia

MatériaMais Notícias

Para quem esperava uma grande atuação do Flamengo na temporada, não viu isso. O Rubro-Negro teve atuação abaixo do esperado e só empatou com o River Plate, da Argentina, na estreia na Copa Libertadores, nesta quarta-feira à noite, no Nilton Santos. Apesar dos gols terem saídos em jogadas isoladas, as laterais do Fla foram uma avenida e o meio não conseguiu a esperada ligação com o setor ofensivo.

FALHAS NA ARMAÇÃO
O Flamengo ficou devendo na hora de criar oportunidades. O meio de campo, no esquema 4-1-4-1 ficou devendo. A primeira parte de criação não alcançava a criação rubro-negra e isso foi prejudicial para impedir a vitoria rubro-negra. Na úncia vez que conseguiu essa ligação, em uma jogada genial de Lucas Paquetá, o Fla atingiu a meta, com um belo gol de Everton. Na maior parte de partida, o Flamengo ficou devendo sua principal transição entre meio e ataque. Isso atrapalhou uma vitória na estreia.

SISTEMA DEFENSIVO EM NOITE PARA ESQUECER
A começar com Diego Alves. O goleiro não teve uma grande noite. Falhou no segundo gol do River, com uma bola defensável, e foi questionado no primeiro. Por falar no primeiro gol – independentemente de Mora estar impedido – Juan falhou. Não saiu do chão e viu o o atacante cabecear sozinho para o gol do Fla. No segundo, um bate-rebate e ninguém para abafar. O Flamengo foi pouco produtivo no ataque, mas chegou ao gol. Mas a defesa teve uma noite para esquecer.

LATERAIS AVENIDAS
Os flancos da defesa do Flamengo precisam se reforçar. Isso já virou palpável. Tanto Renê, Pará, Trauco e Rodinei não condizem com um elenco forte. Pará, inclusive, mostrou que chegou ao ponto que precisa mudar de ares. Sempre que joga, tem atuação irregular. Rodinei, ofensivamente, é uma boa peça, mas deixa muito a desejar na defesa. Renê, a mesma coisa. O River Plate atacou muito por seu lado, com Rdrigo Mora, e dali, saíram as melhores jogadas. É hora de Carpegiani rever a forma de jogo. Talvez um 3-5-2 seja uma boa opção. O meio pode ser criativo ocm quatro jogador, nesta noite não rendeu, mas no geral tem tido boas atuações.

VEJA COMO O FLAMENGO TERMINOU A PARTIDA
No fim do jogo, Carpegiani mudou o esquema e terminou com dois volantes. Nessa, sofreu pressão do River Plate e acabou sofrendo um gol no final da partida, devido a pressão. Veja como terminou a equipe.

– A Associação Atlética Ponte Preta informa que os cortes de quadro funcional que estão sendo realizados durante o dia de hoje ocorrem em função da adequação do time à nova realidade financeira que enfrenta. Durante as últimas semanas, a Ponte já reduziu em pelo menos 30% todos os seus contratos com fornecedores e terceirizados e, agora, efetiva as mudanças internas necessárias. A diretoria alvinegra enfatiza que o desligamento destes profissionais, todos eles competentes e de grande qualidade, está sendo realizado exclusivamente por questões financeiras e não ocorreriam em outra situação. Lamentamos o fato e agradecemos a todos pelos bons serviços prestados, bem como desejamos toda sorte em seus novos desafios.

علاء نبيل: بعض لاعبي منتخب مصر انتهت صلاحيتهم.. ولا أرى فائدة من ودية بلجيكا

انتقد علاء نبيل مدرب منتخب مصر السابق، خوض الفراعنة مواجهة ودية أمام بلجيكا، مُشددًا على أنها غير مُفيدة خلال الفترة الحالية.

ويلتقي منتخب مصر مع نظيره بلجيكا، اليوم الجمعة، في تمام الخامسة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة، على ملعب جابر الأحمد الدولي، بالكويت.

وقال علاء نبيل في تصريحات عبر قناة “تن”: “ما الهدف أو الفائدة من إقامة مباراة بين مصر وبلجيكا في الوقت الحالي؟، نحن لا نستعد لخوض منافسات كأس العالم أو مباريات مصيرية في التصفيات الإفريقية”.

وأضاف: “أتمنى أن يظهر المنتخب بشكل قوي في مباراة بلجيكا الودية، وتقديم عرض قوي فنيًا يليق بسمعة الكرة المصرية”.

وواصل: “في رأيي أن هناك بعض اللاعبين في الجيل الحالي من منتخب مصر انتهت صلاحيتهم الفنية مع الفراعنة في الوقت الحالي، وكان يجب استبعادهم حسابات روي فيتوريا المدير الفني”.

واستكمل: “يجب إعادة النظر في انضمام بعض لاعبي منتخب مصر خلال المرحلة المُقبلة قبل استدعائهم من جانب المدرب البرتغالي”.

وانتقل للحديث عن البرازيلي روجيرو ميكالي المدير الفني للمنتخب الأولمبي، قائلًا: “مدرب غير مقنع فنياً بالنسبة لي وكان يجب اختيار أفضل الأسماء لتدريب المنتخب من قبل اتحاد الكرة، ورغم ذلك هناك بعض مدربي أندية الدوري غير مؤهلين”.

واختتم: “في رأيي أن علي ماهر المدير الفني لفريق فيوتشر هو أفضل مدرب في مصر حاليًا”.
