حقق فريق بيراميدز فوزًا ثمينًا خارج ملعبه على حساب الجيش الرواندي بهدفين دون رد، في اللقاء الذي جمعهما على ملعب “كيجالي بيلي ستاديوم” بالعاصمة الرواندية، ضمن ذهاب الدور التمهيدي الأول لبطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

وسجل هدفي بيراميدز المهاجم المتألق فيستون ماييلي، حيث افتتح التسجيل في الدقيقة 49 بتسديدة قوية من خارج منطقة الجزاء، قبل أن يعود ليعزز تقدم فريقه بالهدف الثاني في الدقيقة 86 من داخل المنطقة، ليضع فريقه في موقف مثالي قبل مواجهة الإياب.

ويخوض بيراميدز هذه النسخة بصفته حامل لقب دوري أبطال إفريقيا، بعدما توّج بالبطولة للمرة الأولى في تاريخه الموسم الماضي على حساب صن داونز الجنوب إفريقي، وهو ما يزيد من طموحات الفريق لمواصلة المنافسة على البطولة القارية.

Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer plans stretch beyond potential deals for Man City’s Savinho and Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze, as pointed out by reliable Lilywhites insider Paul O’Keefe.

Just two weeks remain of this summer window, and chairman Daniel Levy is running out of time to back new manager Thomas Frank with some much-needed additions.

The Premier League season is already underway, and Frank will now have an even greater idea of how his side need to strengthen in the next fortnight after their opener against Burnley on Saturday.

Right now, Spurs are hot on the heels of both Eze and Savinho.

Tottenham are in talks to sign the attacking duo in separate deals (Fabrizio Romano), as Levy attempts to compensate for the loss of Son Heung-min to LAFC and James Maddison to long-term injury.

While there is some way to go when it comes to signing Savinho, with Pep Guardiola playing down reports of an imminent move away for the injured winger, Eze is believed to be very keen on a move to N17.

The 27-year-old has informed Palace of his desire to join Frank at Tottenham, giving his green-light to the project, so it appears all there is left to do is find a full agreement with the Eagles.

That’ll be no easy feat, though, considering chairman Steve Parish is a notoriously difficult negotiator and won’t fancy losing the star playmaker after what has already been a very difficult summer at Selhurst Park.

The south Londoners are demanding around £68 million – the value of his now-expired release clause – and reports suggest Tottenham want to go far lower (Ben Jacobs).

Amidst their negotiations for Eze and Savinho, it is believed that Tottenham also want another centre-back.

This is backed up by Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge, who explained their pursuit of a defender in a Q&A earlier this week.

As per O’Keefe, Frank and Spurs know exactly who they want to bolster their backline.

Tottenham identify Bayer Leverkusen star Piero Hincapie as top defender target

The insider reports that Bayer Leverkusen’s Piero Hincapie is that man.

The Ecuador international played 32 Bundesliga matches as a mainstay under Xabi Alonso last season, but he could join the Spaniard out of Leverkusen’s exit door amid interest from Spurs and Chelsea.

Frank has green-lit a potential Tottenham move for Hincapie, with the club identifying him as their “ideal” left centre-back target.

Other reports indicate that Leverkusen value him at around £60 million, and some South American media sources suggest that Chelsea are ready to bid for Hincapie, so Tottenham will need to get moving here.

Na Arena Castelão, Fortaleza e Bahia protagonizaram o clássico nordestino, que terminou empatado por 0 a 0. Com a igualdade, o Leão fica na 6ª posição, com 14 pontos. O Esquadrão de Aço é o 15º, com 8 pontos.

Calendário 

Na próxima jornada, o Fortaleza visita o Botafogo, no Rio de Janeiro. O Bahia recbe o Cruzeiro, na Arena Fonte Nova.

O jogo 

Com propostas ofensivas, Fortaleza e Bahia iniciaram o duelo em alta velocidade. Thiago Galhardo por muito pouco não abriu o marcador após cabeçada. A resposta do Esquadrão de Aço veio m chute de Thaciano, que passou rente ao poste.

Devido ao forte calor, o ritmo do jogo caiu e poucos lances foram criados até o apito do juiz. Pelo lado dos mandantes, Tinga tentou levar perigo em cabeçada e Ademir, pelos visitantes, arriscou a cobrança de falta que parou em João Ricardo.

Guilherme 

Nos acréscimos, Guilherme, que entrou no lugar de Romarinho, trombou com o goleiro Marcos Felipe e caiu no gramado. Após atendimento médico, o jogador deixou o campo de ambulância.

Na etapa final o Fortaleza aplicou uma verdadeira blitz em cima do Bahia. O Leão empurrou o rival para o campo defensivo e criou ótimas chances. Na primeira, Pikachu saiu na cara do goleiro, mas chutou torto. Pouco depois, Lucero cabeceou sozinho na grande área e mandou para fora.

Apesar do ímpeto do Leão, o time de Pablo Vojvoda não conseguiu transformar o volume em bola na rede. A equipe falhava na hora de concluir as jogadas e as decisões erradas irritaram as arquibancadas.

Nos acréscimos, o Fortaleza balançou a rede com Zanocelo, mas a arbitragem apontou impedimento de Lucero no início da jogada e anulou o gol.

After seeing their team lose 1-0 away at Leeds United on the opening weekend of the Premier League, the worry in the air among Everton supporters would have been whether their side would start their new era at the Hill Dickinson Stadium with another bleak defeat.

They didn’t need to be so anxious after all, as their determined Toffees side put the loss in West Yorkshire to one side and delivered a confident performance in front of their adoring home masses that culminated in a 2-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion.

Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls aren’t pushovers by any stretch of the imagination, but with the quality of Jack Grealish on full display throughout, Everton must have felt content that their first three points of the long campaign were going to be collected.

Grealish's standout display in numbers

The former Aston Villa attacking midfielder had been put through the wringer at Manchester City, but the enigmatic Englishman thankfully let his football do the talking, donning his new Everton blue on his spectacular home debut.

The vibrant Toffees number 18 put it on a plate for Iliman Ndiaye to score the opener after a well-orchestrated counter-attack deep into the first 45 minutes, while his second assist of the day would see the entertaining 29-year-old lay it off for James Garner to thump home the decisive match-clinching strike.

Away from those goal involvements, Grealish – who was deployed down the left wing by Moyes – would attempt five dribbles when bursting forward into space, with one effort also fired at Bart Verbruggen’s busy goal to try and make the win even more emphatic.

The former Villa hero will hope he only gets better with time, too, having previously notched up a sublime six goals and ten assists at the intimidating level during his final swansong campaign in the West Midlands.

He wasn’t the only new signing to leave a fantastic first impression on the hardened Merseyside faithful, however, with one of his midfield teammates also impressing enough to be seen as a potential new Ross Barkley for David Moyes’ men.

Moyes' next Barkley

The Toffees needed to replace Abdoulaye Doucoure effectively this summer, with a real lack of midfielders at the Scotsman’s disposal who can slot into a number 10 role.

Thankfully, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall seamlessly announced himself to the Everton masses as a worthwhile Doucoure replacement against the Seagulls – after also playing in the role behind the main striker against the Whites – with the creative playmaker possessing the potential to be Moyes’ new Barkley down the line.

While he did regularly line up as a traditional midfield option for Leicester City, it’s clear from his career numbers to date that the 26-year-old excels in a further forward position, having accumulated a healthy 35 goals and 41 assists across 306 games. To add context, Barkley has a heftier 66 goals and 52 assists, albeit from a larger stretch of games at 444 clashes.

Dewsbury-Hall would have been hoping he could add to his glittering numbers on Sunday, but despite his best efforts, getting off the mark at his new side would unfortunately evade him.

Indeed, looking at the table above, Dewsbury-Hall was especially unlucky not to join Grealish in picking up an assist, with only three passes being misplaced across his stylish 90-minute outing.

Moyes, watching on from the dug-out, will arguably want more from his new recruit moving forward; however, when trying to catch out the opposition goalkeeper with a shot or two, with Dewsbury-Hall still managing to pick up a reasonable five goals for Chelsea, despite his spell at Stamford Bridge being fraught with bumps.

That will come with time, however, as the Toffees’ number 22 grows more confident in his fresh surroundings.

But, his overall energy and application will have pleased the Scotsman nonetheless, with those qualities, and his ability to drive with the ball in central areas evoking memories of a fresh-faced Barkley at Goodison Park.

Dewsbury-Hall’s positive display wouldn’t go unnoticed by the Liverpool Echo, with journalist Chris Beesley gifting the 29-year-old a high 7/10 post-match rating, stating that he brings “fresh scope” to a role once frequently filled by Doucoure.

He did accidentally put Everton in a spot of bother during the game when gifting Brighton a penalty, but it was a largely promising display from a midfielder who has had his fair share of doubters in recent years, much like Grealish.

If Moyes can get the very best out of the midfield pairing across a full season, expect the Toffees to pick up more and more assured wins on their own turf.

“You know a bowler of his calibre, to be able to play consistently for the long term, that’s where I’m trying to put in all my efforts and energy,” says LSG mentor

ESPNcricinfo staff04-Feb-2025

Will tearaway Mayank Yadav be fit for IPL 2025? Lucknow Super Giants have been working with the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru over his “roadmap to fitness” and coach Justin Langer and mentor Zaheer Khan remain very hopeful, but they are also clear that they will not rush him back.”We’ve had some interesting conversations around his roadmap to recovery and fitness with NCA, so we’re working with them,” Zaheer told reporters in Lucknow on Tuesday. “We hope for their support as well, them buying into the philosophy of really looking after a youngster, because he’s not only important for LSG, he’s important for Indian cricket as well.”Mayank had an injury-ridden 2024, interspersed by fiery showings for LSG and India. He won Player of the Match in two of his first three games at IPL 2024, for searing spells of 150kph-plus pace, but then in his fourth game he walked off with an abdominal issue that ruled him out of the tournament. He began rehab at the NCA and recovered from that injury, but then he picked up a separate injury while bowling at the NCA.In October he got his first India call-up, for the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh. On debut in that series, he consistently hit 145kph-plus (12 balls of his spell were recorded as such). He finished the series with four wickets and with excitement mounting in Indian cricketing circles, only to pick up an injury once again. He has not played a competitive match since then, but he was retained by LSG ahead of IPL 2025 for INR 11 crore (USD 1.31 million approx.)Zaheer said conditioning him physically to stand up to the workload of bowling at such speeds, without repeatedly breaking down, was his main priority. “You know a bowler of his calibre, to be able to play consistently for the long term, that’s where I’m trying to put in all my efforts and energy, in terms of giving him the best environment which will really help him play longer without really taking these breaks. I think that’s really important and that’s the outlook which we have.”So as much as we are keen on having him [play IPL 2025], we want him 150% fit not just 100% fit so we’ll do everything possible to get him there.”Related

Pant unveiled as LSG captain, says he will give the franchise '200%'

Coach Langer spoke on the same lines, pointing out that it often takes a young fast bowler – Mayank is 22 – time for their developing body to settle and shrug off injuries. “We know how exciting he is, we watched that last year… Some of that pace last year was extreme pace, so we’re very hopeful but he’s a young fast bowler, and it doesn’t matter what country you’re from, it’s a hard business being able to bowl that pace, and with a young body, it’s going to take some time to develop. So we’re hopeful and positive, but we’ll wait and see how things progress over the next little piece.”LSG will have a new captain at IPL 2025, with Rishabh Pant taking the reins after becoming the most-expensive player ever at an IPL auction (INR 27 crore/USD 3.21 million approx.). Both Zaheer and Langer expressed excitement at having a batter of his talents in the set-up.”I have no doubt the kind of player he is, I hope he stays as expressive when he captains,” Zaheer said. “We want to imbibe those values within the team as well. When we were looking at him as captain, we were looking at a kind of flavour LSG should play. We hope LSG approach their cricket the same way Rishabh plays his cricket.””I believe in T20 cricket, most important person in the team is the captain. If I’m selecting a team, the No. 1 person is captain so we’re thrilled to have Rishabh, with his style of play,” Langer said. “We’re going to be on the edge of our seat. It’s going to be exciting to watch, he’s got something different not many have. He has this freedom, talent, and a way about him where he’s going have a real impact as captain and player.”

It has been a curious summer for Aston Villa so far. Unai Emery’s side have not brought in many first-team players aside from Evann Guessand.

The Ivorian striker joined the club from French side Nice for a fee of £30m, but forgetting deal, the Villans have been quiet as far as marquee additions are concerned.

There have been departures, with Jacob Ramsey moving to Newcastle United and Leon Bailey switching to Roma.

Next to leave could be star striker Ollie Watkins. The England international is said to be a key target for the Magpies, who Villa faced last weekend.

Well, whatever the future is of the former Brentford star, it seems as though Villa will look to sign another striker of their own.

Aston Villa's latest striker target

It will be interesting to see if the Villans can keep hold of Watkins this summer. The forward has been linked with a move away for several weeks, and with Newcastle sniffing around, another departure could be on the cards.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

Expand Collapse

Regardless of his future, a report from Sky Sports has revealed that Villa have ‘explored the conditions of a deal’ to sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea.

The Senegalese attacker informed the Blues that ‘he wants to consider his options during the transfer window’, and Villa could now pounce.

At this stage, it is unclear if this deal would be a loan or a permanent move, but with Chelsea still targeting more summer transfers, they may need to sell Jackson to raise funds.

That could mean Villa have to pay his £80m price tag, a fee that was reported last month.

Why Jackson would be a good signing

There is a case to be made that Jackson is one of the Premier League’s most polarising players. Yet, people like football scout Antonio Mango have highly praised him in the past, describing him as an “elite” forward.

Indeed, his numbers from his time as a Chelsea player show great promise. The former Villarreal striker has played 81 games for the West Londoners, scoring 30 times and assisting a further 12.

He also has a knack for scoring in big games, which would surely pique Villa’s interest. The forward has bagged against Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and, of course, in the 2025 Conference League final. That header against Real Betis showed some of the “elite” centre-forward play that Mango referenced.

Of course, stepping into Watkins’ shoes at Villa Park would not be an easy thing for the Chelsea striker.

With 75 goals to his name in the Premier League, no Villa player has ever bagged more, according to Transfermarkt.

The five full seasons he has spent at Villa have been impressive for the England international. He’s hit double-figure goals in the Premier League every season, with the most he has scored in one season being 2023/24, where he bagged 19 times in the top flight.

The underlying numbers from last season suggest Jackson could be Emery’s new Watkins. The pair are said to be statistically similar in 2024/25, via FBref, with the Chelsea star averaging 0.61 goals and assists and 1.13 key passes per 90 minutes, and Watkins notching up 0.83 goals and assists and 0.83 key passes each game.

Aside from the underlying numbers, the two players both share a key attribute: their ability to run in behind.

This is something Watkins himself described as his “bread and butter” after his Euro 2024 semi-final winner against the Netherlands. Sky Sports analyst Nick Wright said one of Jackson’s key strengths is that he can “stretch defences” and make runs beyond the defence.

So, there is certainly evidence to suggest that this is a deal that works for Villa. Emery has, of course, coached Jackson before at Villarreal and knows the exact profile he would like for his side, which Jackson seems to fill. £80m is a big investment, but it could be a wise move for the Villans.

انضم بول سكولز، النجم السابق لنادي مانشستر يونايتد، إلى قائمة منتقدي محمد صلاح، لاعب فريق ليفربول، في ضوء أدائه الذي يقدمه ذلك الموسم مع كتيبة آرني سلوت.

وتعرض ليفربول لثلاث هزائم متتالية في غضون الأيام القليلة الماضية، حيث خسر أمام كريستال بالاس في الدوري الإنجليزي بهدفين لهدف، قبل سقوطه بهدف نظيف أمام جالطة سراي في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وعانى ليفربول من هزيمة قاتلة أمام تشيلسي بهدفين لهدف، يوم السبت الماضي، وخسر إثرها صدارة الدوري الإنجليزي خاصة بعد فوز آرسنال على وست هام بهدفين دون رد.

من جهة أخرى، يتعرض محمد صلاح للكثير من الانتقادات في الوقت الحالي بسبب ضعف مستواه مع ليفربول ذلك الموسم.

وقال بول سكولز، في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ميرور” الإنجليزية: “لا يزال محمد صلاح يلعب في نفس المركز، لكن يبدو أنه يتخذ قرارات خاطئة في أغلب الأحيان”.

وأضاف: “إذا نظرت إلى العام الماضي، ستجد أن محمد صلاح سجل الكثير من الأهداف، لكنه في كثير من الأحيان يقطع الكرة من اليمين ويسددها فوق العارضة، وقد شهدنا بعض الأمثلة على ذلك يوم السبت (ضد تشيلسي)”.

وواصل: “يبدو أنه يتخذ قرارات خاطئة في أغلب الأحيان، لم يعد شابًا يافعًا، أليس كذلك؟ ومن الأفضل أن يحصل على قسط من الراحة خاصة مع ما يمر به الفريق”.

وأردف: “أعتقد أنه في كل مرة تشاهده، حتى عندما يكون رائعًا، يقوم ببعض التصرفات السيئة في ملعب كرة القدم، هل تفهم ما أقصده؟ كما لو أن الكرة ترتد عن ساقه أو ركبته ويفقد السيطرة عليها، ثم فجأة… يبدو وكأنه أفضل لاعب في العالم، في الوقت الحالي هو يكافح لإيجاد أفضل ما لديه”.

Verdão começa bem, mas logo fica preso na marcação do Leão

Ao contrário do que se esperava, o Alviverde teve um início com bastante ímpeto, tentando jogar no campo do adversário. Acontece que os visitantes não conseguiram criar algo perigoso para tentar o gol. Dessa forma, o Fortaleza foi ficando mais confortável em seu estádio e armou uma marcação forte na saída de bola palmeirense. A estratégia deu certo e o Verdão ficou preso, sem conseguir concatenar jogadas. No entanto, foi em um escanteio que os donos da casa quase marcaram com o cabeceio de Brítez, que passou raspando a trave

Palmeiras mostra rotação abaixo, mas Fortaleza não consegue levar muito perigo

Embora tenha entrado em campo com uma vantagem de 3 a 0, o Alviverde não precisava ter feito um primeiro tempo tão submisso ao Leão do Pici. Alguns jogadores nem mesmo entravam em divididas e apenas Rony brigava por alguma coisa no ataque. Quando o time de Abel conseguia chegar à frente, a jogada não terminava. Assim, armava o contra-ataque ao adversário, que quase marcou em uma bonita trama que terminou em uma ajeitada de Galhardo para finalização de Lucero, mas Weverton salvou. A verdade é que a equipe cearense também não soube aproveitar de sua pressão e da falta de ímpeto palmeirense, que terminou a primeira etapa com apenas uma finalização, que foi para fora.

Palmeiras falha no ataque e vê Fortaleza abrir o placar

A partir de um certo momento, o jogo começou a ficar mais aberto. Foi quando o Verdão achou espaço para buscar uma jogada de ataque para ficar ainda mais tranquilo na partida. Veiga recebeu cara a cara com João Ricardo e finalizou colocado, mas no meio do caminho, Rafael Navarro, impedido, desviou para a rede. O lance, que era para ser gol de Veiga, foi invalidado. Na jogada seguinte, Pochettino arranjou um chute na trave, que voltou para o meio da área onde Lucero estava para abrir o placar e dar um tempero no duelo.

Alviverde toma alguns sustos, mas consegue segurar o Fortaleza

Depois de levar o gol, o Palmeiras pareceu ter sentido um pouco a pressão do momento. Sem conseguir muita coisa no ataque, acabou sem fechando na defesa e tomou alguns sustos na reta final da partida. Abel Ferreira, que reclamou demais da arbitragem, foi expulso e vai desfalcar o time na próxima fase da Copa do Brasil. Apesar de ter mais sorte do que juízo, o Verdão garantiu a derrota por apenas 1 a 0.

E agora?

Com o resultado, o Palmeiras se garante nas quartas de final da Copa do Brasil e elimina o Fortaleza da competição. O adversário da próxima fase será definido por sorteio, que será em data ainda não divulgada pela CBF.

Australia coach Andrew McDonald has accused India of attempting to intimidate Sam Konstas with the way they celebrated the wicket of Usman Khawaja late on the opening day at the SCG.In a dramatic finish to play, Konstas got involved in a verbal exchange with Jasprit Bumrah over Khawaja’s attempts to ensure it was the final over, with the umpire stepping in. Two deliveries later, Khawaja nicked the last delivery of the day to slip with Bumrah turning and advancing towards Konstas with visible aggression.Related

There’s been no charges laid, but to have an opposition swarm the non-striker like that, we’ve got a duty of care to our player to make sure he’s okay and in a headspace to go out there and perform.”Pressed on whether he felt India had gone too far, McDonald added, “It’s clear that’s acceptable because there was no fines or punishments, so I’ll leave that up the ICC – Andy Pycroft being the match referee – and the umpires out there. If they thought it was satisfactory then I suppose that’s the benchmark we are playing towards.”Konstas advanced to 23 on the second morning, which included using his feet to Bumrah to drive him down the ground and bringing out another scoop to deep third, before edging Mohammed Siraj into the slips. Bumrah, who was fielding at mid-on, did not immediately head towards the Indian huddle when the wicket fell and appeared instead to walk in Konstas’ direction.”We enjoy the way that he plays the game and we would also like to play the game aggressively,” Prasidh Krishna said after the second day’s play. “If we have somebody that comes up and says I can fight you, as a team we want to tell them we are here and you can’t take us for granted. We are all here, 11 of us versus you. If you can be as aggressive, that’s fine.”During his debut at the MCG, Konstas was shoulder-barged by Virat Kohli during his 60 off 65 balls in the first innings.Speaking before play on the second day in Sydney, Ricky Ponting said he did not like the way Konstas had inserted himself into the situation the previous evening.”I didn’t like Konstas getting involved,” he told . “That was not his battle to fight. It was between Khawaja and Bumrah. So, for the young man there, I hope that there was some talking to from the Australian dressing room last night because he should have stayed out of it, let his senior player try and handle the last couple of balls. And of course, when you play with the game, the game has a way of coming back and biting. That happened to Khawaja last night.”
