O Atlético-MG terá uma sequência grande de jogos em um curto período de tempo. Isso porque o time alvinegro está disputando além do Brasileirão, a Copa do Brasil e a Copa Sul-Americana. O técnico Thiago Larghi revelou que não há prioridade. O treinador enfatizou que tem como estratégia o foco no jogo seguinte, sem deixar de analisar as condições físicas dos atletas. O desgaste é a principal preocupação da comissão técnica.

– A princípio vamos tentar seguir com o melhor que a gente tiver, mas temos que respeitar as questões físicas. Terça-feira vamos para o quarto jogo em dez dias, uma condição muito difícil de atingir alta performance. Contamos com o trabalho de recuperação. Vamos ver a recuperação dos jogadores para decidir como vai ser o próximo jogo – afirmou o comandante.

O próximo compromisso do Galo é contra oSan Lorenzo-ARG, pelo jogo devolta da primeira fase da Copa Sul-Americana. A partida será às 21h45, no Independência. Thiago Larghi ressaltou que, para o duelo, quer uma equipe ofensiva.

– A imposição do jogo é algo que sempre procuramos fazer. E jogando em casa não vai ser diferente. Um futebol ofensivo, bem jogado. É o que vamos tentar, independentemente de quem entrar em campo – disse o técnico.

Vale lembrar que na partida de ida, o time argentino venceu por 1 a 0, no Nuevo Gasómetro. Portanto, caso o Atlético-MG vença pelo mesmo placar, a decisão vai para os pênaltis.

Laura Marsh continued her strong form as England swept aside Australia again to take a 4-0 lead with a match to play in the Twenty20 series. Marsh starred for the second game in a row as England defended their 144 to secure a 13-run win at Canberra’s Manuka Oval.England had a stunning start as Marsh (43 off 28 balls) and Charlotte Edwards, who collected 15 off eight, sped out of the blocks, but the hosts fought back through the spinners Shelley Nitschke and Sarah Elliott. Nitschke removed Danielle Wyatt and Marsh on the way to 3 for 19 off four overs, while Elliott broke through the middle order with 3 for 17.Elliott had Jenny Gunn (10) lbw and bowled Lydia Greenway, the star of the series, for 28 before dismissing Fran Wilson. That left England at 6 for 118, but the tail-enders boosted the total before the innings ended with a ball to spare.Australia’s troubles really began when they lost Leah Poulton, who top scored with 32, and Alex Blackwell in two deliveries with the score on 59. Jess Cameron fell nine runs later and despite a stand of 40 between Rachael Haynes (25) and Nitschke (22), the side was left with too much to do.Holly Colvin ended up with 2 for 25 as Australia finished at 6 for 131. The final game of the series is in Canberra on Tuesday.Marsh was suitably pleased with her performance and is hoping the run of form can continue. “We’re delighted with another win today, it was a great team performance,” she said. “We were brave with the bat and attacked from the start and I enjoyed playing with a bit of freedom.”The bowlers did well to restrict the runs on this pitch and we upped our game in the field. We are looking forward to the final game of the series tomorrow and carrying this momentum forward into the Test match.””England played really well again today and full credit goes to Charlotte and her team,” said Australia coach Richard McInnes. “It’s obviously disappointing not to get the win today; we made some changes to the team to try and find that winning formula but again we’ve come up just short. We need to turn things around tomorrow and finish this series with a win before we head to Sydney for the Ashes Test at Bankstown starting on Saturday.”The Ashes Test gives Australia a chance to put the misery of the Twenty20 series behind them and captain Blackwell is confident her side can spring a surprise.”England currently hold the Ashes and we have one chance to get them back so we will be playing some good attacking cricket to do everything we can to win them back,” Blackwell said.”We’ve played some good one-day and Twenty20 cricket so far but there is no doubt an Ashes win would be the highlight of the summer for us,” she said. “We’ve got half the squad from New South Wales so we’re all really looking forward to getting back home and putting on a good show.”

تحدث وليد الركراكي المدير الفني لمنتخب المغرب، عن مواجهة كندا الحاسمة، بدور المجموعات في بطولة كأس العالم، قطر 2022.

ويلاقي المنتخب المغربي نظيره الكندي، غدًا الخميس، في تمام الخامسة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة، السادسة بتوقيت السعودية وقطر، في لقاء الجولة الأخيرة من دور المجموعات، والتي يحتاج فيها أسود الأطلس للفوز من أجل التأهل لدور الـ 16.

وقال الركراكي في تصريحاته بالمؤتمر الصحفي: “دخلنا في وتيرة اللعب وكل اللاعبين يقومون بدورهم، وإنجاز السنغال والتأهل يدفعنا للأمام”.

وتابع: “قبل مجيئنا إلى هنا، درسنا مع الجهاز المساعد ما إذا كان بإمكننا أن نحضر عائلاتنا أم لا على غرار تجربة عام 2018”.

وأضاف: “هناك بعض اللاعبين لديهم أطفال ويحبون أن يشعروا بتواجدهم مع أبائهم، أظن إننا نجحنا في هذا الأمر، بالفعل ليس من السهل أن تكون كل الأمور جيدة وحين تنهزم يقولون لماذا أحضروا العائلات”.

وواصل: “أنا من أتحمل مسؤولية حضور العائلات، ونحن حاليا سعداء بهذا، والتقينا بهم بعد المباراة أمام بلجيكا، حاليا نحن في أعلى تركيز وهذا شيء عادي وليس هناك أي إزعاج، روح العائلة نريدها أيضا في الملعب وهذا ما يحدث حاليا”.

وبسؤله عن ياسين بونو حارس مرمى الأسود بعد طلب مغادرة المباراة الماضية أمام بلجيكا قبل انطلاقها لشعوره بدوار، قال الركراكي: “بونو في صحة جيدة، حدث خلل بسيط، ولا نريد أن نقف عند هذا الأمر”.

وأوضح: “كما قلت لم يستطع أن يلعب ولم يلعب، ومنير المحمدي دخل مكانه وقدم عملًا رائعًا، وذلك رفع من معناوياتنا، وبالنسبة لياسين، اليوم التالي للمباراة أصبح أفضل، وسيبقى رقم واحد، وسيظل واحدا من بين قائدي المنتخب، الأهم هو أنه جاهز لمباراة يوم غد”.

وعن تراكم البطاقات الصفراء عند اللاعبين، علق الركراكي: “لا يجب أن نفكر في البطاقات الصفراء لأن ذلك سيسقطنا في الأخطاء، لدينا 26 لاعبًا، وأي عنصر سيغيب يمكن تعويضه، أي لاعب سيدخل مكان زميله سيقوم بنفس العمل، وإذا فكرنا في البطاقات سنقوم بالأخطاء”.

وأردف: “كل شيء مُجهز بشكل جيد حتى يكون اللاعبون في مستوى عال، ويقدمون أقصى ما لديهم، لأن التأهل سيدخلنا التاريخ”.

وعن تغييراته في مباراة بلجيكا: “أخطأت في العديد من المناسبات في التغييرات، لكن نجحت في هذه المباراة، ولو لم أكن موفقًا بها لاغتالني 80% من الشعب المغربي لأنني أخرجت سفيان بوفال، وهذه المخاطرة هي التي جعلتنا نُكافأ في آخر المطاف”.

Paul Stirling smashed a career-best 177 off 134 deliveries•Getty Images

Paul Stirling, the 20-year-old Ireland opener, played the innings of his life, smashing 177 from 134 deliveries to set up an easy win over Canada and tie the two-match ODI series in Toronto.Put in to bat, Ireland were given a strong start by Stirling and Andre Botha who added 91 in 12.4 overs. Stirling began hitting out in the third over, lofting and driving Harvir Baidwan for fours. He took medium-pacer Khurram Chohan’s fourth over for 14 runs, smashing him over long-on for six and then pulling and steering him for consecutive fours. He reached his fifty off 38 balls in the 12th over, guiding Balaji Rao behind point for four. Botha was dismissed in the next over for 28 and Canada managed to briefly rein in the scoring.Andrew Poynter and Stirling added 73 in 18.2 overs and by the time Poynter was dismissed, Stirling had moved to 96 off 90. A single off Chohan in the 34th over brought up his maiden List A hundred off 97 balls.Stirling warmed up for the Batting Powerplay by taking 14 runs in an over off left-arm spinner Parth Desai. Fifty-three runs came in the Powerplay, 38 of those from Stirling. Desai, who had bowled well in taking 1 for 31 in seven overs, went for 46 runs in his next three. With Stirling on 174 at the end of the 44th over, Sachin Tendulkar’s record ODI score was in some danger. However, Stirling hit a Baidwan full toss straight to point in the 45th over, after having struck 21 fours and five sixes. John Mooney’s late hitting took Ireland to an imposing 325.Canada rarely looked like keeping up with the asking rate, especially after being reduced to 34 for 2 in the eighth over. Despite a 79-run third-wicket stand between Ruvindu Gunasekera and captain Ashish Bagai, the run-rate hovered around five throughout the innings. Gunasekera top-scored again with 59 off 60 but he fell in the 24th over. Bagai followed in the 30th to make it 142 for 5, after which Canada needed a miracle.It wasn’t happening though, as offspinner Albert van der Merwe came up with a career-best performance of 5 for 49 and Canada were bowled out in the 47th over. Stirling was the deserving Player of the Match.

Kevin Campbell has now shared a concern that he has about Aaron Ramsey after Glasgow Rangers revealed some injury news on the midfielder.

The Lowdown: Minor knock

As confirmed by the Ibrox faithful, Ramsey missed their 1-1 draw away at Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership over the weekend as he had a minor knock.

The Wales international also missed a recent bounce match against Premier League club Brentford, which resulted in a 2-2 draw.

With a big second leg against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Europa League coming up on Thursday night, and the Teddy Bears leading 4-2 from the reverse fixture, Giovanni van Bronckhorst will now be sweating over Ramsey’s fitness ahead of the clash.

The Latest: Campbell reacts

Speaking to Football Insider, former Everton and Arsenal striker Campbell, who regularly features on Sky Sports, has since raised his concern with Ramsey due to his history with injuries:

“His injury record is always a worry, a problem.

“That was the gamble for Rangers. When a player starts to get into his 30s it takes them longer to recover. It doesn’t look good for Ramsey.

“It is only a loan until the end of the season though so Rangers haven’t invested loads of money.

“It’s important to remember injuries can happen to anyone though. It just feels doubly difficult when it’s a player of Ramsey’s quality and history of injuries.”

The Verdict: Worrying

Given his injury record, and the fact that he is not getting any younger at 31, it is always worrying when Ramsey has even the slightest of niggles.

The Light Blues will no doubt be hoping that he is fit enough to play a part against Dortmund, a team that he has won four times and scored against, and they can really use all of his European experience to help them get over the line.

Nonetheless, Ramsey himself will be looking to prove his fitness while out on loan from Juventus, so that he can potentially secure a move away in the summer.

Leeds United have been handed another crushing injury setback ahead of their two Premier League fixtures this week…

What’s the latest?

The Yorkshire giants suffered another defensive disasterclass on Sunday as they were beaten by old rivals Manchester United in a six-goal thriller and the schedule isn’t getting any easier.

They head to Anfield to face second-placed Liverpool on Wednesday night before hosting Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road on Saturday lunchtime, nearly a week after they defeated defending champions and table-toppers Manchester City.

And manager Marcelo Bielsa is expected to be without starting centre-back Robin Koch with a suspected concussion.

The 25-year-old was substituted in the 29th minute at the weekend with a suspected concussion, meaning he will now have to follow the Football Association’s protocols, in which Mail+ claim that players have to rest for a minimum of six games.

That would rule him out of both Premier League fixtures this week.

Crushing blow

When it rains, it pours.

Whilst it was certainly hammering it with rain at Elland Road on Saturday, Leeds’ unrelenting injury problems don’t seem like easing up anytime soon.

Koch has been afforded a place in the starting XI largely due to the absence of club captain Liam Cooper, who has been absent since early December with a hamstring problem.

Now, Bielsa will be without another central defender for two big games against teams either in or around the hunt for a top-four finish, a stark contrast to the Whites’ season as they are on the cusp of being dragged into the relegation mire, sooner rather than later.

It has been the German’s best run of matches in a Leeds shirt since signing from Bundesliga outfit Freiburg in an £11.5m deal back in August 2020.

Indeed, the £15.3m-rated colossus has started each of their last seven matches in the English top-flight, having missed the bulk of the campaign with injury himself.

In that time, the Yorkshiremen have shipped goals for fun, conceding 18 goals in total but now with Bielsa’s backline even more threadbare ahead of games against the likes of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Harry Kane, there’s reason to be immensely fearful.

Without Koch, Cooper, Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford, Leeds’ task is all that harder and that will leave both the Argentine and the Elland Road faithful gutted, if not hugely worried heading into their two games this week.

At this rate, Bielsa – a defender in his heyday – may well need to get his boots on.

Pakistan fast bowler Rana Naved-ul-Hasan has said he is ready to meet the PCB chairman Ijaz Butt to “clear things out” with regard to the one-year ban slapped on him by the board

Cricinfo staff23-Jun-2010Pakistan fast bowler Rana Naved-ul-Hasan has said he is ready to meet the PCB chairman Ijaz Butt to “clear things out” with regard to the one-year ban slapped on him by the board. Naved-ul-Hasan’s appeal hearing was postponed until June 26 and in the meantime he was asked to approach the PCB and request it to reconsider his punishment.”I am ready to meet the PCB chief to clear things out,” Naved told “I will respond to the PCB call immediately but so far I haven’t received any word since my hearing was adjourned on Saturday.”Naved-ul-Hasan, along with several of his team-mates, was punished by the PCB following the tour of Australia in 2009-10. He was banned for one year and slapped with a Rs 2 million fine. All the punished players, barring Naved-ul-Hasan, Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf, met the PCB and had their bans revoked, and fines lifted or reduced. Yousuf did not file an appeal against his ban because he had retired from international cricket.Younis’ situation, however, is unclear. His ban was reversed by the PCB but he was not selected in the Twenty20 or Test squads for the tour to England, which begins later this month. “As per order by Irfan Qadir [the arbitrator], we will send another showcause notice to Younus in a couple of days,” PCB lawyer Talib Rizvi said.Over the last couple of weeks the sense has emerged that the board will not let Younis back in unless he apologises for what they deem to be his mistakes, as the other returnees have done. Butt said last week that Younis’s return would require clearance from the board, an issue that wasn’t deemed to be an issue at all with Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi and the Akmal brothers.

In his first public appearance since the controversy over the Kochi franchise ownership, IPL chairman Lalit Modi said he disclosed the consortium’s shareholding pattern because of the general confusion over those details

Cricinfo staff14-Apr-2010

In his first public statement since the controversy over the Kochi franchise ownership, IPL chairman Lalit Modi has said he disclosed the consortium’s shareholding pattern because of the general confusion over those details. His comments came on a day Sunanda Pushkar, one of those Modi had listed as a Kochi shareholder, denied she was acting as a proxy and said the franchise had given her equity as payment for her marketing expertise and her help in putting the bid together.In Mumbai, Modi explained the reason for his revelations, through Twitter, of the Kochi ownership details. “The only reason we did it (disclose the identities) was that even those who presented the bid documents did not know who the owners were,” Modi said in Mumbai . “In regard to all the franchises bought earlier, everyone knows who they are… in regard to Kochi, we have some question marks in regard to who they are. Even the shareholders don’t know who they are.”Modi was speaking at a press conference called to announce details of the IPL awards and questions on the Kochi controversy were officially off the agenda but he eventually answered a few. “We will deal with Kochi after the IPL is over,” he said. “It is not a big issue but an issue nevertheless. We will call a governing council meeting to present my facts.”In a separate interview to PTI, Modi said it was his job as IPL chairman to seek details and authenticate the shareholding of every franchise. “How otherwise would I know where the money is coming from,” he asked.Sunanda Pushkar, whom Modi revealed to hold free equity in the Kochi consortium, said she was approached last year by Rendezvous “inviting me to associate myself with them as a consultant in their various sporting activities and particularly in their potential bid to acquire the franchise of an IPL team.”In view of my extensive international experience as a business executive, marketing manager and entrepreneur, I was invited to assist Rendezvous in the areas of fund-raising, networking, elsewhere; event management; and brand building. Because this is a start-up, I was told that in lieu of a salary they would grant me minor equity in Rendezvous in return for my efforts. I have accepted no salary or expenses and am conscious that the equity remains only on paper for the foreseeable future.”Pushkar is a close associate of Indian federal minister Shashi Tharoor’s; the minister has been criticised for not revealing the link earlier, on the contrary stressing he had no personal stake in the Kochi bid. In her statement on Wednesday, she denied acting as a proxy for Tharoor.”My own business interests and assets are substantial, and efforts to besmirch Tharoor by presenting me as a proxy for him are personally insulting for me as a woman and as a friend.”
