Man Utd predicted XI to face Young Boys

Manchester United will be aiming to kick off their Champions League campaign in impressive fashion when they take on Swiss outfit Young Boys this evening.

The Red Devils have picked up 10 points from a possible 12 in the opening weeks of the Premier League season, and transferring that form onto the European stage will be Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s next task.

United were hugely underwhelming in this competition last term, bowing out in the group stage after making a solid start, with Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig progressing at their expense.

However, with a slightly easier group on paper this time around, the Old Trafford outfit are expected to advance to the knockout stages with minimal fuss, but Solskjaer will be without a handful of first-team stars for this clash at the Wankdorf Stadium as Edinson Cavani has joined Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford on the treatment table.

With that in mind, here’s how Football FanCast expects the Red Devils to line up against their Swiss opponents in today’s early evening kick-off…

In goal, Spain international David de Gea is set to keep his place between the sticks despite Dean Henderson’s recovery from a viral infection after making a strong start to the season.

Ahead of him will be the same back four which has started the last two league fixtures, with Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane and Aaron Wan-Bissaka showing promise as a defensive unit.

The engine room is where Solskjaer really has some big decisions to make. Nemanja Matic formed a double pivot alongside Paul Pogba over the weekend, but the £7.2m-rated Serbian could make way for Fred in the middle of the pitch.

That should mean Pogba keeps his place alongside the reinstated Brazilian, with England internationals Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood either side of Cristiano Ronaldo in attack and Bruno Fernandes just behind his Portuguese compatriot, who will hope to build on his two goals from his ‘second debut’ on Saturday.

And, in other news…Ole must keep faith with “outrageous” £175k-p/w gem, he could be MUFC’s game-changer 

تقارير توضح سببين لظهور ليفاندوفسكي في مران بايرن ميونخ رغم أنباء رحيله إلى برشلونة

كشفت صحيفة “بيلد” الألمانية عن سببين لظهور مهاجم منتخب بولندا، روبرت ليفاندوفسكي، الجديد في مران ناديه بايرن ميونخ صباح اليوم السبت، رغم أنباء إتمام انتقاله إلى برشلونة.

وبحسب شبكة “سكاي سبورتس” والعديد من المصادر الموثوقة، برشلونة أتم اتفاقه مع بايرن ميونخ على ضم ليفاندوفسكي مقابل 45 مليون يورو و5 ملايين أخرى كمتغيرات مع عقد لمدة 3 سنوات مع سنة رابعة اختيارية للتمديد.

ولكن ظهر ليفاندوفسكي في مران بايرن ميونخ صباح اليوم بشكل طبيعي، ولكن الصحيفة الألمانية أكدت أن البولندي حضر إلى مقر التدريبات لسببين.

السبب الأول هو قيام ليفاندوفسكي بتفريغ جميع محتويات خزانته في غرفة ملابس بايرن ميونخ قبل الرحيل النهائي عن العملاق البافاري.

السبب الثاني هو قيام ليفاندوفسكي بوداع زملائه في بايرن ميونخ للمرة الأخيرة وجاء ذلك من خلال حديث قبل بداية المران في حضور المدرب، يوليان ناجلسمان.

ومن المفترض أن يسافر ليفاندوفسكي إلى الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية مع بعثة برشلونة لخوض المرحلة الثانية للفريق الكتالوني من فترة الإعداد للموسم الجديد 2022/2023.

'Cheguei perto': Zé Ricardo conta que cogitou pedir demissão do Flamengo

MatériaMais Notícias

Flamengo e pressão são duas palavras íntimas. Não à toa, o técnico Zé Ricardo admitiu que pensou em pedir demissão no momento mais turbulento, quando o Rubro-Negro teve um início ruim no Brasileiro e também carregava o fardo da eliminação na Libertadores. Em entrevista ao jornal ‘O Globo’, o treinador contou que esteve perto de sair, mas decidiu não ‘desistir’.

– Não sei se cheguei ao ponto 100 (de pedir demissão), mas cheguei perto. Porque a gente estava fazendo um esforço grande para sair do momento ruim e, mesmo assim, estava com dificuldade. Comecei a pensar se era culpa minha. Mas o pedido de demissão é uma derrota pessoal muito grande. Eu me coloquei numa situação de meu filho me perguntar por que eu desisti. O que eu iria falar para ele, quando ele crescesse, para explicar? Refleti com minha esposa e não tomei a decisão. Confesso que a pressão foi muito grande, mas entendi que era uma questão de provar a mim mesmo que era capaz de seguir – revelou o técnico rubro-negro, que pensava entrar em acordo com a diretoria.

-A derrota para o Sport teve uma repercussão muito ruim, uma insatisfação da torcida. E eu respeito muito a torcida. Talvez a palavra certa nem fosse pedir demissão, seria fazer um acordo com a diretoria para encerrar o trabalho. O clube me deu respaldo, a direção sempre foi honesta. A maior cobrança era minha. Eu estava tentando arrumar forças para continuar – comentou.

Em outro ponto da entrevista ao “O Globo”, Zé Ricardo saiu em defesa do volante Márcio Araújo, que é muito criticado pela torcida.

-Discordo (das críticas). Ele é importantíssimo para o grupo, um modelo de atleta e tem evoluído. Contra o Santos, foi exemplar ao lado do Cuéllar. Temos cobrado para que não faça só passes curtos. Ele tem uma leitura de jogo após a perda de bola do time que poucos têm. Temos jogadores talentosíssimos como Guerrero e Diego, com certa dificuldade para marcar e o Márcio compensa isso de forma muito eficiente – disse o técnico.

CAUTELA COM VINICIUS JÚNIOR

O treinador explicou que Vinicius Júnior ainda não está ‘morfologicamente’ pronto. Ainda assim, o treinador vem utilizando o garoto nos jogos.

– Na função dele, tivemos lesões. Quando ele foi titular com o Avaí, tínhamos poucas opções. A gente entende que ele pode ser mais perigoso, agora, pegando o adversário desgastado. No confronto, tem a dificuldade natural do garoto de 16 anos. Ele não está morfologicamente pronto. Minha preocupação é que ele evolua como atleta. Ninguém esperava que ele já fosse começar a decidir partidas para nós – ponderou.

واعتقل اللاعب الذي لم يتم الكشف عن اسمه لأسباب قانونية في يوليو للاشتباه في ارتكابه جريمة اغتصاب.

أعيد اعتقاله لاحقًا بسبب اعتداءين آخرين مزعومين على امرأة مختلفة، واللاعب نفى هذه المزاعم، والنادي أكد أنه لن يوقفه.

وقال نادي اللاعب في تصريح لصحيفة “ذا أثليتيك”: “نحن على علم بالمزاعم التي تخضع حاليا لتحقيقات الشرطة”.

وأضاف: “لقد أكدنا أن اللاعب ينفي هذه المزاعم ويخرج بكفالة من الشرطة في انتظار نتيجة تحقيقاتهم، لم يتم فرض أي رسوم ويمكن للاعب الوفاء بالتزاماته المهنية بما في ذلك السفر المسموح به”.

وأتم: “سنبقي هذه المسألة قيد الدراسة عن كثب وسنراجعها أكثر إذا تغيرت الظروف”.

تم القبض على اللاعب، في أواخر العشرينيات من عمره، في البداية في شمال لندن للاشتباه في ارتكابه جريمة اغتصاب وتم احتجازه يوم الإثنين 4 يوليو قبل ظهور مزاعم من امرأة ثانية.

وقال بيان صادر عن شرطة العاصمة: “في 4 يوليو، تم إبلاغ الشرطة بادعاء اغتصاب امرأة في العشرينيات من عمرها.

Chanderpaul seeks team success in NZ

Shivnarine Chanderpaul has said he will not only look to achieve his personal goals, but will also be keen to play a major role in West Indies’ success on their tour of New Zealand

Shivnarine Chanderpaul has said he will look at not only achieving personal goals on the tour of New Zealand but will also be keen to play a major role in West Indies’ success as a team.”I want to improve all the time,” he said. “I try harder, I work harder and I try to eliminate any mistakes. I just try to get better. The aim is to improve my skills. You never know what will happen on the cricket field, but you know once you prepare properly you give yourself every chance to play well.”Chanderpaul, the ICC’s Cricketer of the Year in 2008, currently heads its Test batting rankings. He is also currently No. 4 in the ODI player rankings and was the third-highest run-scorer for West Indies in their previous ODI series – a 0-3 whitewash against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi last month – with 146 runs in the three matches at 73.00.He was also the highest run-getter in West Indies’ previous Tests series, at home against Australia in May-June this year. He scored 442 runs at 147.33 but, as has often been the case, could not prevent West Indies from winning the three-match encounter 2-0.West Indies arrive in New Zealand ranked No. 8 in the ICC ODI standings and just ahead of New Zealand at No. 7 in the Test rankings – something Chanderpaul indicated they would look to improve on in the upcoming series. “I have been playing for so long and I want to win. As much as I do well personally, I want to win as a team as well. That would be good for everyone. We have an opportunity here to start winning some games and make some steps up the rankings,” he said.The West Indies Test squad has a number of first-timers – Lionel Baker, Leon Johnson, Kemar Roach, Brendan Nash – along with four players who have played less than six matches.”We have a young team, guys who have not experienced these kinds of conditions before. It comes back to how well we can get acclimatized to the conditions out here and get accustomed to the pitches. It is obvious they all have talent – in the Caribbean we are full of talent – but it is how well we can perform in each department.” Chanderpaul said.”It depends on how well we play and I know we can play well. I know we are capable. Once we perform in all departments it would make for a very good Christmas.”The thought was not lost on coach John Dyson, who backed the experienced players in the team to lead from the front. “I’m confident that our senior players will continue to do well and also that the inexperienced players have had good preparation and stand in good stead to do well…it’s a matter of doing it in the middle,” he told . “We came to New Zealand early to get rid of the jet lag problem, which we’ve done and we’ve had excellent practice facilities particularly in the last couple of days in Auckland and Christchurch.”In addition to the lone warm-up game against Auckland, West Indies will play two Tests, two Twenty20 internationals and five ODIs on their tour from December 5 to January 13.

Ponte Preta x Palmeiras: prováveis times, onde ver, desfalques e palpites

MatériaMais Notícias

O Moisés Lucarelli receberá neste domingo, às 16h, o primeiro encontro entre Ponte Preta e Palmeiras desde a semifinal do Paulistão deste ano. Na ocasião, o Verdão foi atropelado em Campinas e perdeu por 3 a 0. Mesmo vencendo por 1 a 0 no Allianz Parque, a equipe acabou eliminada e viu Eduardo Baptista ser muito pressionado. O técnico cairia pouco depois.

Agora com Cuca, o Verdão ainda busca seu melhor rendimento. A evolução nas últimas rodadas é inegável – são três vitórias nos quatro jogos mais recentes -, mas o comandante ainda busca a escalação ideal. Ele faz mistério para o jogo deste domingo, mas é provável que Mayke, Luan e Juninho, que não podem atuar contra o Cruzeiro no meio de semana, pela Copa do Brasil, sejam titulares – Mina pode ser preservado. Dudu, voltando de lesão, e Willian, após cumprir suspensão, também podem ser novidades.

Na Ponte, o mais provável é que Gilson Kleina mantenha a escalação da vitória sobre o Cruzeiro, na rodada passada. A Macaca tem um ponto a mais que o Palmeiras na classificação e está perto do G6.

Aston Villa’s predicted line-up vs Chelsea

Aston Villa take on Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon hoping to clinch their second win of the season.

Dean Smith’s side have won one, drawn one and lost one in their opening thee matches of the top-flight and face the daunting prospect of travelling to London to take on the current Champions League holders.

Villa’s chances of a victory were further dented when it was confirmed that Emi Martinez and Emi Buendia would be travelling with Argentina for the international break.

While the duo have since returned to Croatia after being released by their country, this game against the Blues has come too soon for them.

Smith is likely to make some key changes, and with that in mind, here is a look at how Villa might line up for their Premier League clash against Chelsea today.

In goal, Jed Steer is likely to come in and make a start given that Martinez has been ruled out, with the 28-year-old no doubt hoping to make the most of a very rare opportunity.

The back four is likely to remain unchanged with Tyrone Mings still out, so Ezri Konsa and summer signing Axel Tuanzebe are likely to rekindle their centre-back partnership for the trip to Stamford Bridge.

In midfield, Smith confirmed in his pre-match press conference that John McGinn had recovered, so the Scotland international should come in to the middle of the park.

The Villa boss may also want to opt for a more defensive-minded presence with Marvelous Nakamba coming in, while the £50k-a-week earning Ashley Young could make way.

Out wide, Smith will also be without Buendia, so Leon Bailey makes his first Premier League start, while Ollie Watkins is also pushing to do the same for this season after only coming on as a substitute last time out against Brentford.

Predicted XI: Steer; Cash, Konsa, Tuanzebe, Targett; Nakamba, Luiz, McGinn; Bailey, Ings, Watkins.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa had a transfer masterclass with this ace…

عامر حسين: هناك صدام يحدث بين الحكام.. وتعيين كلاتنبرج تجربة لا بد منها

تحدث عامر حسين رئيس لجنة المسابقات برابطة الأندية وعضو اتحاد الكرة، عن تأجيل كأس أمم إفريقيا 2023، وتعيين مارك كلاتنبرج مديرًا لمنظومة تطوير الحكام بالجبلاية.

وقال حسين في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “أون تايم سبورتس 2” عبر برنامج “جمهور التالتة”: “تأجيل كأس الأمم الإفريقية أفضل للموسم المُقبل، وأسوأ للموسم الذي يليه”.

عامر حسين يتحدث عن نظام قرعة كأس مصر.. والعقوبة المنتظرة لـ الإسماعيلي

وأضاف: “كان الأفضل تغيير نظام الموسم الحالي لكثرة ارتباطات الأندية، لكن لا حاجة في الموسم الجديد لتغيير شكل مسابقة الدوري”.

وأردف: “بطولات الكؤوس مرتبطة ببعضها من ناحية العقوبات، بمعنى أنه لو حصل لاعب على طرد في كأس النسخة الماضية لن يلعب في مباراة الكأس بالموسم الحالي”.

وواصل: “أما عن تعيين مارك كلاتنبرج، فهي تجربة لا بد أن نخوضها، الأندية تفتقد الثقة في التحكيم، وهناك صدام يحدث بين الحكام، حكام محسوبون على فلان وآخرون على فلان، إذًا كان يجب أن نخوض تجربة جديدة نتمنى لها النجاح ونتمنى أن تساعد المنظومة وأن يضحي الناس من أجل أن ينجح، كما أنه سيبدأ مهام عمله في الأول من سبتمبر”.

واستطرد: “مباراة نهائي كأس مصر بين الأهلي والزمالك ستقام بطاقم تحكيم أجنبي”. واختتم: “ننتظر حسم حازم إمام ومحمد بركات لملف المدير الفني لمنتخب مصر، هما يبذلان مجهودًا كبيرًا في هذا الملف، وسيتم الإعلان عنه في وقت قريب قبل أجندة شهر سبتمبر”.

Fla estaria disposto a ignorar cláusula para contratar Geuvânio

MatériaMais Notícias

O Flamengo segue buscando reforços para o elenco da temporada de 2017 e Geuvânio, ex-Santos, está bem próximo de ser anunciado. De acordo com o jornalista Paulo Vinicius Coelho, da Fox Sports, o time carioca deve ignorar uma cláusula no contrato do atleta com o Tianjin Quanjian, que dá prioridade ao Santos num eventual retorno ao Brasil.

Os presidentes de Flamengo e Santos conversaram, mas, ainda assim, os cariocas não irão desistir de contar com o atacante. O Santos, por sua vez, está interessado em Geuvânio.

– Não tem essa de restituição. Temos um contrato e já notificamos o Tianjin de que queremos exercer a contratação de volta, como está no contrato. Era uma cláusula limitadora da saída. Ou colocávamos esta cláusula ou não venderíamos – disse o presidente do Santos ao blog do PVC.

Na última segunda-feira, o Flamengo apresentou o zagueiro Rhodolfo, mas Rodrigo Caetano também falou sobre Geuvânio. De acordo com o dirigente, a negociação está bem encaminhada, mas há entraves para o anúncio e a oficialização da transferência.

Gujarat kick off season with emphatic win

A round-up of the final day’s play of the first-round matches of the Ranji Trophy Super League 2008-09

Scorecard

Siddharth Trivedi took seven wickets in the match to give Gujarat an innings win © Cricinfo Ltd
Rakesh Dhurv delayed it with 11 fours in an unbeaten 52, but Gujarat finally sealed a thumping innings-and-227-run win over Saurashtra. At 74 for 5 in the second innings, trailing by 354 runs, Saurashtra needed a batting effort far different from what they managed on the previous two days.It was nearly eight overs when Siddharth Trivedi struck the first blow, removing Sandip Maniar for 3 – the team score was 95. Pratik Mehta and opener Kanaiya Vaghela added 32 in 15.3 overs. Mehta was bowled by Ashraf Makda for 28, and Trivedi got Vaghela soon after. Vaghela’s 36 came off 188 balls, lasting nearly four-and-a-half hours at the crease. Mohnish Parmar removed Sandeep Jobanputra, but Gujarat were frustrated by the last-wicket pair of Dhurv and debutant Jayesh Odedra, who played out 66 deliveries for his 10. Amit Singh’s lone wicket of the innings ended the match. The win gave Gujarat six points, an emphatic way for the promoted team to kick off the season.
Scorecard
Tamil Nadu chose to enforce the follow-on after left-arm spinner C Suresh took career-best figures of 5 for 122 to bowl out Maharashtra for 457 in reply to the visitors’ 648. But on a flat Nasik pitch they could not repeat the effort a second time and had to be content with the three points from the first-innings lead. Suresh added two wickets to his three yesterday as the Maharashtra lower order managed only 56 more before being bowled out.Then Kedar Jadhav and Nikhil Paradkar frustrated their attempts with a 164-run stand after the first three wickets fell for 55. First-innings centurion Ameya Shrikhande was caught and bowled for 28 but Jadhav, who scored a half-century yesterday, batted for fours hours for his 95. He played cautiously after Paradkar was dismissed for a well-made 92, falling less than three overs before stumps.
Scorecard
Hyderabad batted out the final day as their match against Orissa ended in an expected draw in Cuttack. Having bowled out Orissa for 269 and gained points from a first-innings lead on day three, Hyderabad chose to get some batting practice today.Debutant D Rushi Raj made up for his first-innings 15 to score a patient fifty, while Anoop Pai got his second half-century of the match. Ravi Teja and Arjun Yadav also chipped in with useful scores as the Orissa bowlers toiled for 76 overs for their wickets. Debasis Mohanty got five wickets for the match while Preetamjit Das took four.
Scorecard
The only delight for Andhra in their draw with Uttar Pradesh was legspinner M Suresh’s career-best figures of 5 for 80. UP had gained a first-innings lead by then and Andhra had to be satisfied by bowling them out and then batting out the remaining 45 overs to get one point from the match.Centuries from Mohammad Kaif and Tanmay Srivastava overnight left the hosts needing five runs to get the three points for the first-innings lead. Medium-pacer Israel Raju triggered the collapse by removing Piyush Chawla off the first ball the day. But the points had been gained by the time Suresh took his first wicket – having Ravikant Shukla caught by Raju. He wrapped up the tail soon enough, taking the last three wickets in successive overs. Andhra openers Hemal Watekar (65) and Prasad Reddy added 128 together before Watekar was bowled an over before stumps.
Scorecard
An anti-climax draw followed after fifteen wickets fell in the day and Railways were a target of 104 to be chased in nine overs. Yere Goud’s unbeaten 122 gave Railways a first-innings lead of 24 after which debutant medium-pacer Anureet Singh took 6 for 49 to bowl out Karnataka for 127.Goud, who had reached his century yesterday, was aided by tail-enders Murali Kartik (11) and Harvinder Singh (22) in getting Railways the lead. Then Sanjib Sanyal removed the Karnataka openers with 46 on the board. Anureet made his appearance soon after, bowling G Satish for 19. He took two wickets in two overs – removing Thilak Naidu and first-innings centurion Robin Uthappa for ducks. Sanyal and Karan Sharma took two wickets each. It was unlikely that Railways would have tried to chase the target considering they needed nearly 12 an over. But their innings was also not short of drama – they lost their openers in the first two overs with only six on the board. Raja Ali and Sanjay Bangar batted out two more overs before the teams decided to call it a draw.
Scorecard
Legspinner Chetanya Nanda joined the list of half-centurions in Delhi’s first innings and prolonged the Punjab bowlers’ misery in the draw at the Roshnara Club Ground in Delhi. He was the sixth batsman to get a half-century in the innings as Delhi extended their first-innings lead to 128. Gagandeep Singh dismissed him for 56 to end the innings and get 3 for 97. Nanda then took two wickets , including Yuvraj Singh for 38, as Punjab batted out the 49 overs remaining in the day.
ScorecardMumbai scored a convincing 237-run victory against Rajasthan to start their campaign on an ominous note. Rajasthan’s top order had crumbled meekly on the previous evening and there wasn’t much resistance from the rest as they crumbled to 171. Dhawal Kulkarni took four wickets in the second innings to finish one short of becoming the second Mumbai bowler (after Suru Nayak) to take ten wickets on debut. Read the full report here.
