India batsman Yuvraj Singh hopes to play alongside Sachin Tendulkar one last time, but said that he would definitely go to watch Tendulkar’s 200th Test if he wasn’t in the squad for the home series against West Indies. On the day Tendulkar announced his decision to retire, Yuvraj had made a comeback, making a match-winning 77 off 35 balls in the Twenty20 international against Australia in Rajkot.Yuvraj made his ODI debut in 2000, when Tendulkar’s career was already more than ten-years old, and thanked him for the guidance given throughout his career.”I don’t know if I am going to have the opportunity to play with him, but if I am not playing, I will definitely come and watch,” an emotional Yuvraj said, following the game against Australia. “He never showed that he is the great Sachin Tendulkar. He was always trying to be chirpy with the youngsters, although we were a bit reluctant to go up to him. Personally, he’s always guided me on and off the field about the things in my life, specially the World Cup journey, so it’s been very special. It’s tough for me to see him go.”It’s been amazing to play with him for so many years. He is one of the greatest players to have played the game and I don’t know what to say, there are so many things to say about Sachin. Probably the best Indian cricketer to have ever played, I would say. He was an ambassador of cricket around the world. It’s going to be an emotional time for the whole of India.”Calling Tendulkar a “next-to-impossible” batsman to replace, Yuvraj said he admired many facets of his team-mate’s technique. “Lots of things – the way he hits the ball, the way he is always still. He is technically, I think, the best batsman I have seen in my career. And how he has been smart all these years to know what bowlers are going to bowl at him. He’s always been one or two steps ahead, that’s why he’s been so consistent all these years.”He ended the press conference by saying, “Yuvi is back my friend.” He would hope to be back in time to bat with Tendulkar, for one last time.
Depois de garantir vaga na semifinal do Paulistão, o elenco do Santos se reapresentou no CT Rei Pelé na tarde da última quarta-feira e além de alcançar esse objetivo, os jogadores comemoraram o fato de o time ter passado pelo Red Bull sem sofrer gols.
Um desses atletas foi o zagueiro Luiz Felipe, que substituiu Gustavo Henrique, após o titular sentir lesão na coxa direita. Para ele, que deve ser o escolhido para atuar no domingo, caso o companheiro não tenha condições de jogo, isso é importante para dar confiança ao time.
– Isso foi muto importante para a dar força para a equipe. Vínhamos de uma derrota (Botafogo-SP) e não levar gols agora nos retoma a confiança para a semifinal – comentou o defensor.
Luiz Felipe e os companheiros que mais tempo jogaram na última terça-feira realizaram atividade na academia, enquanto os demais jogadores trabalharam em um treino técnico no gramado. De acordo com o zagueiro, o grupo sabe da dificuldade que vai enfrentar na semifinal, mas estão convictos que podem pensar em título.
– Estamos focados. Sabemos que será muito difícil, mas faremos de tudo para marcar nosso nome na história e conquistar o título do Paulista neste ano – concluiu.

اتخذ نادي ريال مدريد الإسباني قرارًا غريبًا بسبب الفرنسي كيليان مبابي، مهاجم فريق باريس سان جيرمان.
وينتهي عقد مبابي مع باريس سان جيرمان في يونيو 2024، وقد أبلغ إدارة ناديه مؤخرًا بقراره بعدم تفعيل البند الإختياري للتمديد حتى عام 2025.
ووفقًا لـ “UOL esporte” البرازيلية، حظر موقع ريال مدريد الرسمي، تخصيص قميص باسم مبابي.
ويوضح التقرير أن ريال مدريد اتخذ إجراءات لمنع المشجعين من شراء قمصان للنادي يطبع عليها اسم مبابي.
ومن المعروف أن الأندية تتيح للجماهير حجز القمصان المخصصة، مع اختيار الاسم أو الرقم المفضل لطباعته عليها، لكن ريال مدريد حظر استخدام اسم مبابي.
يشير التقرير إلى أنه عند محاولة اختيار اسم مبابي لطباعته على القميص، تظهر رسالة فورية: “عذرًا! لا تسمح سياسة التخصيص الخاصة بنا باستخدام هذا الاسم”، في حين يُسمح بأسماء لاعبي كرة القدم الآخرين.

وارتبط ريال مدريد بإمكانية التعاقد مع مبابي، خاصة بعد موقف اللاعب من عدم تفعيل بند التمديد.
وتشير تقارير الصحف الإسبانية إلى أن ريال مدريد لا يعتزم التفاوض، حيث يريد ضم مبابي مجانًا في السوق الصيفي المقبل.
ومنح باريس سان جيرمان مهلة لمبابي حتى آخر شهر يوليو الجاري، لاتخاذ قرار تمديد العقد، أو سيقوم النادي ببيعه.
وشارك مبابي اليوم في مباراة باريس سان جيرمان الودية أمام لوهافر، وسجل هدفًا في الفوز بثنائية نظيفة، ضمن الاستعدادات للموسم الجديد، تحت قيادة المدير الفني لويس إنريكي.

21-Jul-2013 ScorecardRichard Levi blasted six sixes in his 70•Getty Images
Richard Levi crashed 70 from 43 balls as Northamptonshire edged closer to a Friends Life t20 quarter-final spot after beating Worcestershire by five runs at New Road.Levi, the big-hitting South African opener, smashed six sixes and five fours while monopolising partnerships of 46 with Kyle Coetzer and 56 with Cameron White. A lower order slump then pegged Northamptonshire back to 137 for 6 but that proved enough for the group leaders to complete a quick turnaround from Saturday’s defeat by Warwickshire.Although Worcestershire dragged themselves into contention with Andre Russell’s 44 from 31 deliveries, they had too much to do after David Willey’s match-clinching return of 3 for 13 in four overs. Willey crucially had Russell well caught on the long-off boundary by Alex Wakely and despite Daryl Mitchell’s unbeaten 38, the home side could not get close to the 21 required from the last over.Joe Leach managed a four and six off Lee Daggett and in making 14 from the six balls faced the young batsman at No. 8 – fresh from a maiden championship century against Gloucestershire – made a case out for a higher position in the next match.Ultimately the result was all about Levi’s ability to dominate, as he did last Tuesday in blasting an unbeaten 110 from 62 balls against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham. Worcestershire were blown away when he launched another onslaught with three consecutive sixes off Leach when taking 22 off the fifth over.Three other bowlers were targeted for further sixes and Worcestershire only found a way to stem the carnage when turning to Gareth Andrew for the 15th over. The eighth bowler to be used, Andrew made the breakthrough when Levi powered his first delivery to deep square leg where Russell was almost knocked off his feet in hanging on to the chance.There was little else to come from Northants as wickets fell to the spinners, Shaaiq Choudhry with 2 for 21 and Moeen Ali, 1 for 17. The last five overs produced only 30 in a disappointingly flat finish to the innings, but it did not prove costly in the end.

صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية، أكدت أن لوكا يوفيتش لاعب فيورنتينا، قد يدعم ريال مدريد ماليًا، رغم رحيله إلى فيورتينا الموسم الماضي.
في الموسم الماضي لعب المهاجم الصربي 50 مباراة مع فيورنتينا وسجل 13 هدفًا، ولديه العديد من العروض في أوروبا.
الصحيفة الإسبانية، أكدت أن ريال مدريد قد يستفيد ماليًا من رحيل اللاعب إلى جالطة سراي من فيورنتينا، وقد ينعش خزائنه من نسبة إعادة بيع اللاعب الصربي، والتي قد تقدر بـ 4 مليون يورو.
يوفيتش وصل إلى ريال مدريد في صيف 2019 قادمًا من إنتراخت فرانكفورت الألماني مقابل 63 مليون يورو، ويريد النادي الملكي الحصول على أموال من رحيله في الصيف الجاري، خاصة وأنه خارج حسابات المدرب الإيطالي كارلو أنشيلوتي.
Leeds United’s midfield was completely exposed against Norwich City on Saturday evening in the absence of Kalvin Phillips, and he proved to be a big miss.
What’s the word?
Leeds’ 23-year-old defensive midfielder has predominantly operated as a central defender in recent weeks to cover for a handful of absentees amid a seemingly endless injury crisis.
The move into central defence has seen him hone in on the defensive quality he has consistently produced this season, with his goalscoring exploits from last season now representing something of a distant memory.
Indeed, Phil Hay has revealed a small sample of statistical information from Phillips’ form this term and pointed towards his lack of involvement in the final-third as an indicator of how significantly his role has changed, as per Yorkshire Evening Post.
Hay wrote: “Phillips will not automatically cure the problems with Leeds’ finishing – the deepness of his position is shown by the fact that having scored seven times last season, he is averaging less than a shot a game and has produced 12 key passes in total.”
Kalvin Phillips showcasing his adaptability
The arrival of Bielsa has instigated a transformation in the way Phillips operates in midfield. The fact he scored seven times during the 2017/18 season illuminates the level of freedom he had to burst forward in a box-to-box role, but his current manager has forced him to make a big compromise.
Bielsa has typically asked him to operate in a water-carrier role in-front of the defensive unit, connecting the dots from deep while ensuring that the back-four are well prepared to stifle the opposition.
The positional tweak has seen his attacking influence diminish, with his return of 12 key passes averaging at less than 0.5 per game from his 27 appearances this season, as per WhoScored, while the fact he is yet to find the net under the Argentine speaks for itself.
In a sense, Phillips has been forced to compromise on his quality in the final-third to adapt to Bielsa’s demands, but it’s a compromise which has ultimately enhanced his reputation amongst plenty of supporters at Elland Road.
After watching Norwich tear through Leeds’ midfield on Saturday evening, it will be no great surprise if the 23-year-old is recalled to solidify his defensive unit against Middlesbrough.
BCCI president N Srinivasan looks to have succeeded in staving off attempts to dethrone him, with a late-night informal meeting of board officials not pressing for his resignation
Amol Karhadkar25-May-2013
N Srinivasan: ‘I cannot be bulldozed’•BCCI
N Srinivasan seems to have staved off the stiff opposition from within the board and will continue as the BCCI president, at least for now and possibly till the AGM in September. A day after the arrest of Gurunath Meiyappan – his son-in-law and a senior official of the Chennai Super Kings franchise – on charges of betting on IPL games, the momentum that seemed to have built up overnight to force a change at the top of the BCCI has apparently fizzled out.More than half the board members attended a dinner hosted by former BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya in Kolkata on Saturday night – notable absentees included vice-president Arun Jaitley, Srinivasan’s presumptive successor, joint secretary Anurag Thakur and treasurer Ajay Shirke – but the mood seemed to be one of preserving the status quo.Indeed, the mood was set before the dinner began, when a senior board official indicated to ESPNcricinfo that the members ‘will not demand’ Srinivasan’s resignation. Srinivasan and IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla had a private discussion in Kolkata before heading for the dinner, the source said, adding that the likelihood of Srinivasan stepping down before the AGM was ‘very slim’.It was in keeping with Srinivasan’s defiant stand through the day. Soon after he landed in Mumbai on Saturday afternoon, he reiterated that he had no intention of resigning. “I cannot be bulldozed or railroaded into resigning by the pressure being applied,” he said. “The BCCI will follow strictly all its rules. The law will take its course. Somebody wants to replace me, let him get elected.”Where N Srinivasan can go from here
Scenario 1: If Srinivasan steps down voluntarily The BCCI has to find an interim president till the annual general meeting (AGM) is convened in the last week of September. When a president steps down before his term is over, it is usually the vice-president from the same zone as the president who takes over as the interim president. In that case, it would be Shivlal Yadav. If the vice-president refuses, then it has to be one of the eligible representatives from the same zone who takes over. Scenario 2: If board members want Srinivasan ousted immediately One-third of the voting members – 10 – must write in to the BCCI secretary urging him to pass a motion against the president for tarnishing the board’s reputation. The secretary then has to convene a special general body meeting (SGM) at the earliest. At the SGM, if two-third of the members – 21, to be precise – vote against the president, he has to step down. Scenario 3: If the board acts at the AGM Srinivasan will remain as president till the AGM in September, when he will have completed two years of his term. According to the amended BCCI constitution, an office bearer’s term is extendable by another year at the end of two years. If Srinivasan wants to remain in power for another year, he will have to contest an election. The winner of the election – held by secret ballot – is decided based on simple majority. Scenario 4: Compromise If the BCCI members agree that Srinivasan is the best person to be the BCCI’s face, he will remain in charge till September 2014.
The board members know that if Srinivasan does not resign from the job, their options are both limited and complicated (see sidebar). According to the BCCI constitution, a special general body meeting can move a resolution against its president with a three-fourth majority only if the president is directly involved in a corruption case – which is not the case so far.Should the BCCI call an emergency general body meeting, it may come down to electoral numbers. Besides the 27 affiliated units who compete in the Ranji Trophy, the Cricket Club of India, the National Cricket Club, Kolkata and All India Universities have a vote each. If the incumbent president is presiding over the AGM, he is also entitled to a separate vote, thus extending the tally to 31. The last time the BCCI had a contested election for the post of president was in 2005, when Sharad Pawar defeated Ranbir Singh Mahendra to break Jagmohan Dalmiya’s monopoly over Indian cricket’s administration.There remains much internal grumbling about where this controversy around the Chennai Super Kings’ official and Srinivasan has left the BCCI. A former board official said that Gurunath’s arrest has “tremendously harmed the credibility of Indian cricket. And the process to restore credibility cannot even begin till he [Srinivasan] remains at the helm.”The twist in the entire saga is the Gurunath angle. Srinivasan has already constituted a one-man commission of inquiry, headed by Ravi Sawani, to investigate the spot-fixing allegations against the three Rajasthan Royals players.If Sawani’s report implicates anyone – a player or a member of support staff or management team – from Chennai Super Kings, the report will be forwarded to the disciplinary committee. With Srinivasan, in his capacity as the president, being a member of the three-member committee, there would be clear conflict of interest.In such a case, his only option would be to recuse himself from the disciplinary committee by stepping down as the president.Saturday night’s events were an about-turn from what transpired on Friday, well before Gurunath’s arrest, with several significant statements being made across the spectrum of politics and business that controls Indian cricket. Sahara chairman Subroto Roy, who had earlier this week announced his team’s pullout from the IPL and his company’s decision to not renew its sponsorship of Indian cricket, indicated he would be willing to reconsider the decision if there was a change of guard. He went so far as to say Sharad Pawar, a former BCCI president, was an “apt” person to head the board once again.Around the same time a senior member of Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party issued an unambiguous statement saying Srinivasan should go, though the party issued a clarification saying it was issued in a personal capacity and didn’t reflect the party’s views. On Saturday, Pawar told ESPNcricinfo that the party had no view on the matter. “I have resigned [from the BCCI] five year ago to go to the ICC and don’t want to come back.”
O técnico Fábio Carille não esboçou a escalação do Corinthians para o clássico contra o Palmeiras. Quando o Timão anunciou os 11 titulares, uma hora antes de o Dérbi começar, muita gente estranhou. Mas, em campo, o treinador provou que a estratégia estava certa, conseguiu neutralizar o rival e venceu por 1 a 0 no Allianz Parque.
O Corinthians voltou a atuar no 4-1-4-1, em uma nova cartada do treinador. Ralf à frente da zaga, Mateus Vital pela direita, Ramiro e Sornoza por dentro, e Jadson na esquerda, com Gustagol na frente. O Timão conseguiu ter superioridade no meio de campo e dominou o Palmeiras em boa parte do primeiro tempo, quando já vencia com o gol marcado por Danilo Avelar logo aos sete minutos.
– A ideia foi fazer o Jadson sair da esquerda e rodar para ter superioridade no meio de campo. Quando perdesse a bola, o Sornoza voltaria para marcar para fazer a segunda linha. Essa foi a ideia mais na conversa, não tivemos muito tempo para trabalhar. O entendimento foi bem legal e conseguimos neutralizar as principais jogadas do Palmeiras – contou Carille.

Embora tenha vencido o Dérbi, o treinador disse não ter achado uma forma de o Corinthians jogar. Ele iniciou a temporada atuando no 4-2-3-1, e mudou a estratégia apenas para o Dérbi. Uma das novidades foi Sornoza por dentro, mas Carille vê o equatoriano atuando pelo lado.
– Não achei a forma de jogar. Ainda acredito que o Sornoza pode me dar uma resposta boa de lado, ele já jogou aberto pela direita pelo Del Valle, e no Fluminense aberto pela esquerda. Na hora que a gente melhorar esse conjunto, acredito que ele possa jogar assim. Ainda não achei a forma ideal do meu time joga – analisou o treinador.
