علّق رونالد أراوخو، لاعب فريق برشلونة، على خسارتهم المذلة أمام خصمهم فياريال في مباراة اليوم في بطولة الدوري الإسباني.

وتلاقى الفريقان في إطار منافسات الجولة الثانية والعشرين من الليجا، حيث خسر برشلونة بخمسة أهداف مقابل ثلاثة (لمطالعة التفاصيل من هنا).

وقال أراوخو في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية: “حزين للغاية بشأن النتيجة خاصة أننا عدنا، ولكن عادوا مرة أخرى، إنه أمر مؤسف”.

وأضاف: “أخطاؤنا مؤسفة، أتحمل مسؤولية الخطأ في الهدف (الرابع)، كنا نؤمن بقدرتنا على الفوز، إنها لحظة صعبة، أولئك الذين في القمة يبتعدون عنا، علينا أن ننتقد أنفسنا ونعلم أنه يتعين علينا العمل”.

وواصل: “لقد لحقوا بنا في الهجمات المرتدة بعدما أصبحت النتيجة 3-3، كان علينا التركيز هنا بشكل أكبر، ثم في اللعبة الأخيرة أتحمل المسؤولية، ما حدث عار، علينا رفع رؤوسنا رغم ذلك”.

وأشار: “علينا أن نركز ونعرف ما يتعين علينا القيام به، تشافي؟ بالطبع هناك ثقة في المدرب، منذ وصوله إلى هنا تعلمنا الكثير، لقد أصبحنا أبطالًا معه وهو نفس الفريق تقريبًا بالإضافة إلى بعض الذين انضموا إليه”.

واستمر: “عندما وصل تشافي، كان الفريق في حالة من الفوضى، فريق فقد حمضه النووي، ولم يلعب بلفسفته، لقد جاء تشافي وأعاد الهوية والرغبة وما يعنيه تمثيل هذا القميص”.

واختتم: “اللاعبون هم المسؤولون كثيرًا عما يحدث لأننا نحن من في الملعب، أعني ماذا يمكن أن يفعل تشافي بـ كرة أضعناها نحن أمام المرمى؟ لا شيء!”.

Well-known Arsenal photographer Stuart MacFarlane has slammed an unnamed ex-reserve player after he was "trolled" in a message for not winning the league.

How many days were Arsenal top of the league?

It was a tough weekend for the Gunners as they lost by a single goal away at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

As a direct consequence, rivals Manchester City were able to win the title race without actually having to kick a ball on Sunday – though they still picked up all three points against Chelsea in their own match.

Sadly, Arsenal's failure to lift the league trophy means they set a new record as the team that spent the most days at the top of the table (248) without managing to go on and win the division.

In light of their defeat, it seems one gleeful ex-Gunner could help but rub the club's disappointment in the face of one of their loyal staff members.

Indeed, as revealed by MacFarlane on his personal Instagram page, a former Arsenal academy man had been in his DMs asking like a : "Baby".

The photographer explained: "Tough evening in Nottingham but ultimately very proud of what the players and staff have achieved this season. Getting trolled on my DMs by an ex reserve player for us not winning the league is hilarious, will he ever grow up and move on…I doubt it #baby."

Who is Stuart MacFarlane?

The chief photographer and lifelong fan came to the attention of many fans last year when he delivered a rousing speech ahead of the North London Derby win over Tottenham Hotspur – as captured in Amazon's All or Nothing documentary.

At the time, Mikel Arteta explained his importance, saying (via The Sun): "This guy, for the last 30 years has captured emotions, emotions and teams.

"I want you to hear from him, how he feels about you. And about our club."

And so it's clear that MacFarlane has a deeply personal link with Arsenal and one former player thought it would be best to personally seek him out with a message to rub salt in the wounds as the club's title challenge came to a disappointing end.

It might be unfair to speculate too much on who this individual might be but TalkSport host Jamie O'Hara is one player that comes to mind. After all, he came through the academy but went on to play for Spurs and has been vocally revelling in the Gunners' struggles at every opportunity this season.

Still, that is just a guess, so perhaps it's best not to jump to any major conclusions just yet.

وبسؤاله هل كولر كان متابع نجلك ويريد ضمه للأهلي؟، أجاب: “كولر شاهده مع منتخب مصر الأولمبي أكثر من مرة، وبناءً على ذلك حدث مفاوضات بين الأهلي والنادي الألماني في الصيف، ولكن كان هناك خلافات بين الناديين على الأمور المادية”.

وأضاف: “تجددت المفاوضات مرة أخرى الشهر الجاري من أسبوع وحدث خلاف بين الأهلي ومونشنجلادباخ على الأمور المادية ونسبة إعادة البيع مرة أخرى ولم يحدث اتفاق”.

وأتم: “مسؤول كبير من النادي الأهلي هو الذي تحدث معي، من إدارة التعاقدات وتحدث معي بشكل شخصي”.

قدّم نادي ليفربول، تحديثات بشأن حالة محمد صلاح قبل مباراة الفريق المرتقبة أمام آرسنال في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

ويستقبل آرسنال نظيره ليفربول يوم الأحد في مباراة بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز “البريميرليج”.

ويغيب في الوقت الحالي عن ليفربول كل من محمد صلاح، تياجو ألكانتارا، بن دواك، جويل ماتيب، كوستاس تسيميكاس، ستيفان بايتيتش، بالإضافة إلى داروين نونيز.

وأعلن كلوب في مؤتمر صحفي اليوم الجمعة أن نونيز تعرض للإصابة في المباراة الماضية أمام تشيلسي.

فيما يتعلق بمحمد صلاح، أوضح ليفربول عبر موقعه الرسمي، أن المهاجم يتعافى من إصابة عضلية تعرض لها أثناء تمثيل مصر في كأس أمم إفريقيا.

وسبق وصرح كلوب يوم 30 يناير بأن محمد صلاح ليس جاهزًا للمباراة ضد تشيلسي (في 31 يناير)، وليس جاهزًا للمباراة أمام آرسنال، مشيرًا إلى أن إصابة العضلات تستغرق وقتًا، وأنه غير متاح في الوقت الحالي، ويقوم بإعادة التأهيل.

وقال كلوب في تصريحه السابق: “محمد صلاح ليس جاهزًا لهذه المباراة (ضد تشيلسي في 31 يناير)، وليس جاهزًا للمباراة التالية (أمام آرسنال)”.

وأضاف: “إنه مصاب، لست متأكدًا مما إذا كان ذلك سوء فهم في البداية، إنه مصاب وإصابة العضلات تستغرق وقتًا، كان من الممكن أن يكون الأمر أسوأ بكثير لكنه غير متاح في الوقت الحالي، فهو يقوم فقط بإعادة التأهيل”.

Newcastle United could be set for a huge transfer move this summer, with reports from Spain via Sport Witness stating that the Toon have already held talks over a potential deal for Neymar.

Who are Newcastle United signing this summer?

Eddie Howe's side are currently marching their way towards the Champions League, with the club currently sat in third place in the Premier League. There is still the chance that, with two games left, the club could drop out of the top four but a win would secure their place.

It's a far cry from the Newcastle side that finished outside of the top half in the top flight last time around, with the club ending the 2021/22 season in eleventh. Now though, the side may need to prepare for at least a season in European competition again and that could mean plenty of recruitment for the club over the course of the summer transfer window.

One name that has now emerged on their transfer radar, according to a report from Spain, via Sport Witness, is Neymar. The Brazilian's agents have already held talks with the English outfit ahead of a potential switch according to this report and it shows that the club are open to a potential deal. With the player likely to be shown the door at current club PSG too, it makes a deal even more plausible.

Will Neymar leave PSG?

The former Barcelona man has been in France since the 2017/18 season and has already won most of what is on offer in the country, minus a Champions League title.

With 112 appearances yiedling 82 goals – and 48 assists – he actually has 130 goal contributions in total. That means that the Brazilian has an astonishing record of 1.25 goals or assists per 90 over the course of his stint with PSG, which is incredible when you consider how many minutes he has played in for the club.

Football talent scout Jacek Kulig has called the player "unbelievable" in the past and that goalscoring rate would certainly back up those claims. Now, Newcastle could add the player to their squad and if they were to do so, then it would instantly make them a team to take seriously if they aren't already. It would most definitely give them a boost in Europe and could upgrade their frontline as they look to push on again next season.

England’s limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan and former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum have consented to their inclusion in the draft for the second edition of the Pakistan Super League

Umar Farooq01-Jul-2016

The Pakistan Super League has announced that England limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan and former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum have consented to be part of the player draft for the second season in 2017. The draft will be held in the UAE in October, during Pakistan’s Test series against West Indies, while the tournament is slotted for February next year.The PSL also stated that all five franchises had “unanimously agreed” to an increase in the total player salary cap of $1.2 million per team by a maximum of 9% for the next edition. The decision was reached after a meeting with franchises in Lahore on Friday.PSL chairman Najam Sethi said more high-profile signings would be revealed over the next few days. “Brendon McCullum and Eoin Morgan are proven international stars who not only bring a wealth of international cricket experience but also bring invaluable leadership experience to the HBL PSL player roster,” Sethi said. “While we have announced these two names, there are at least a dozen additional top-level signings that will be revealed in the coming days. It will be interesting to see how teams manage their retention and transfers given such quality additions to the player draft”A player retention policy was among the outcomes of the meeting on Friday, with teams being allowed to retain up to 16 players from the existing squad, including those who did not play a game last season.”It was decided that the teams may retain up to 16 players from their existing squads,” the PSL said in a statement. “All players who were brought on board by a team, regardless of whether they played, are eligible for retention. The retention window will also provide teams with a chance to renegotiate with existing players and the window closes on September 14, 2016. The transfer window is concurrently open with teams in a position to leverage their draft picks and/or existing squads to find an ideal balance.”Last year, 310 players, including 138 from Pakistan, were drafted from five categories – Platinum, Diamond, Gold, Silver and Emerging – with the franchises signing international stars like Chris Gayle, Kevin Pietersen, Shane Watson, Dwayne Bravo and Darren Sammy, among others. Previously, the emerging category had 59 Pakistan players regardless of their age or playing experience. For the second edition, however, the PSL management has an age barrier in place – players in the emerging category will have to be under 23 years of age as of January 1, 2017, and the franchise will have to draft at least one player from its home region.The order of franchises in the draft was decided based on the first season’s result. Hence, Lahore Qalandars, who finished last, will have the first pick in this draft followed by Karachi Kings, Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators. Defending champions Islamabad United will have the final pick in every round.In another important move, the PCB is in talks to rope in franchises that will buy out national regional teams for a year. ESPNcricinfo understands that the PCB and at least three franchises have agreed in principle to buy their respective regional teams for Rs 15 to 25 million each per year. The idea is still in a preliminary stage, but the move is a part of the PCB’s plan to make regional cricket independent and self-sustaining.

Hanif Mohammad, the man who played the longest Test innings, died in hospital after respiratory complications from his lung cancer

WATCH – ‘Hanif Mohammad – one of Pakistan’s finest’

Hanif Mohammad, the original “Little Master” who played the longest innings in Test cricket, has died at the age of 81. He had been undergoing treatment for respiratory complications from his lung cancer in Karachi’s Aga Khan hospital. Late on August 8, he was shifted to the ICU and placed on a ventilator. Hanif was diagnosed with the cancer in 2013, for which he received treatment in London.Hanif played 55 Tests, including Pakistan’s first. Imtiaz Ahmed, 88, and Waqar Hasan, 83, are the only two survivors from that team. Hanif was renowned for his immaculate defensive technique. He scored 3915 runs at an average of 43.98. His best was an epic 337 as Pakistan saved the Barbados Test in 1958 while following on. It was the longest first-class innings then. At 970 minutes, it is still the longest Test innings.Hanif also held the record for the highest first-class score, 499 which he made for Karachi against Bahawalpur in 1959. The record stood for 35 years before Brian Lara surpassed the record by scoring 501 for Warwickshire against Durham.Hanif was born in Junagadh in the Indian state of Gujarat. He and his four brothers moved to Pakistan after partition; four of the five brothers played Tests while Raees, the fifth, was a 12th man once. At least one of the Mohammad brothers played in Pakistan’s first 101 Tests. Hanif’s son Shoaib played 45 Tests and grandson Shehzar 30 first-class matches. In 2010, a Cricinfo jury chose Hanif as the opener alongside Saeed Anwar in the all-time Pakistan Test XI.After retiring as an international cricketer, Hanif co-founded the magazine in 1972, which he edited for two decades. He also served as the manager of the formidable Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) team, which won the domestic one-day tournament, Wills Cup, three years in a row in the 1980s.ICC’s chief executive David Richardson paid tribute to Hanif, pointing to the impact that his triple-century against West Indies had. “It’s sad to hear of Hanif’s death and I’d like to extend my condolences and those of everyone here at the ICC to Hanif’s family, which counts so many cricketers in its number,” Richardson said in a press statement. “Hanif took batting to great heights and many batsmen drew inspiration from him.”His contribution to the game has been enormous and one can only imagine the kind of impact his batting had on others over the years. Hanif’s triple-century against the West Indies was a legendary innings and unsurprisingly he was one of the original inductees into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.”

Newcastle United are thought to be one of four sides keen on signing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic this summer.

What’s the latest Newcastle transfer news?

The Magpies and Eddie Howe appear to be turning their attention to the transfer window after Champions League football was guaranteed earlier in the week against Leicester City.

One player who appears to be of interest is Vlahovic, who was linked with a move to St. James’ Park earlier this month. There was speculation that Vlahovic’s agent approached Newcastle over a move to England, and a fresh update has emerged in the last 48 hours.

According to reports in Italy, Newcastle, and by extension owners PIF, along with Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester United, are all interested in signing the Serbia international.

Bayern Munich are also named as suitors, with Juventus needing to make one sacrifice over the coming months and Vlahovic is expected to be that man.

Who is Dusan Vlahovic?

Vlahovic is 23 years of age and is an out-and-out centre-forward who only joined Juventus last year. Described as “scary” and a “monster” by journalist Carlo Garganese, he has scored 23 goals in 63 appearances with his current employers, previously netting 49 times in 108 games for Fiorentina.

It looks as if an exit is on the cards, and Juventus have even dropped their asking price to €70m (£60m) – a figure which would match the current transfer record at Newcastle for Alexander Isak.

Isak and Callum Wilson have provided the goods in front of goal this season, netting a combined 28 goals in the top flight, with both forwards outperforming Vlahovic when it comes to average match rating, as per WhoScored.

Vlahovic has netted 14 times in 42 appearances during the current campaign, and with the Magpies playing more football next season after their European qualification, bolstering their attacking ranks with someone like Vlahovic could be a shrewd move, especially when you factor in Isak and Wilson’s injury issues this season.

Glasgow Rangers and manager Michael Beale are believed to be interested in bringing young FC Utrecht striker Tasos Douvikas to Ibrox, and have seemingly made contact over a possible deal.

Do Rangers need attackers this summer?

The Gers have a vital summer ahead of them, with a number of new signings required all over the pitch, in order to find an extra gear next season. There is still a gap in quality between themselves and Celtic currently, as shown by their respective trophy hauls in 2022/23, so the primary aim has to be to narrow it this summer.

Attack is certainly an area where reinforcements will be required, especially with influential duo Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos both expected to move on, having played such a big part in Rangers' success down the years. The duo could leave a void, considering they scored a combined 157 goals for the club, so it is imperative that the right replacements are brought in.

A new transfer update has now emerged regarding Douvikas, who has been linked with a summer move to Ibrox a number of times in the recent past.

Could Rangers snap up Douvikas?

According to Football Insider, Rangers have "expressed an interest" in signing the Utrecht man, who scored 19 goals and reigstered four assists in the Eredivisie this season. It is claimed that the Dutch side are "looking for a fee of around £6.9million in order to part with the 23-year-old", who is described as being a "crucial" player throughout the 2022/23 campaign, sharing the Eredivisie Golden Boot with PSV star Xavi Simons.

Douvikas could be exactly what the Gers are looking for in the summer window, providing the end product that will be so badly needed without Kent and Morelos around. His aforementioned record this season speaks volumes about his productivity in front of goal, but an overall tally of 31 strikes in 73 appearances for Utrecht further highlights it.

The 23-year-old is also a 15-cap Greece international, scoring once his country to date – he also netted eight times in 10 appearances for the Under-19s – and he is someone who could help take Rangers to a different level next season and beyond.

While primarily a centre forward, Douvikas can play on the left-hand side, as he has done once for Utrecht this season, according to WhoScored, so his ability to play across the attack is something that could appeal to Beale, as the Gers look to wrestle the Scottish Premiership title away from Celtic in 2023/24.
