تحدث الدولي البرازيلي رودريجو جوس، لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ريال مدريد عن طموحاته مع منتخب البرازيل في بطولة كأس العالم القادمة 2026.

وأجرى الدولي البرازيلي حوارًا مطولًا مع صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية تحدث من خلاله عن كارلو أنشيلوتي وعلاقته القوية به ومنتخب البرازيل وأسرار كثيرة من كواليس انتقاله إلى الفريق الملكي.

وقال رودريجو، حول طموحه الفترة المقبلة مع ريال مدريد ومنتخب البرازيل: “أريد الفوز بـ دوري أبطال أوروبا مجددًا مع ريال مدريد، الفوز بها سيكون أمرًا رائعًا، وبالطبع أحلم بالفوز بكأس العالم مع البرازيل”.

وعن وصف لوكا مودريتش بأنه أب له: “عقلية لوكا مذهلة، كانت هذه السنوات التي قضيتها معه رائعة بالنسبة لي، تعلمت منه واستمتعت بلاعب بمثل جودته، لطالما استمتعت بمشاهدته في الملعب ولكن عندما كنت بجواره وشاركته غرفة الملابس أبهرني أكثر، إنه لاعب رائع، يبدع في كل شيء، يبلغ من العمر 40 عامًا ولا يزال يقدم أداءً رائعًا، إنه أمر مذهل حقًا”.

وعن معايير الكرة الذهببية: “حسنًا من الصعب الحديث عن هذه الجائزة، وأنا أيضًا لا أستمتع بها، لو كانت لمن قدم أفضل موسم لكان الأمر عادلًا هذا العام، كنت سأصوّت لديمبلي أيضًا”.

وعن فرصة مبابي في الفوز بها: “بالطبع يمكنه ذلك إذا استمر على هذا المنوال وسجل هذا الكم من الأهداف والألقاب مهمة، عليك أن تفهم هذا المعيار لأنه أحيانًا يطبق وأحيانًا لا”.

وعن أول شيء قاله تشابي ألونسو: “عندما وصل المدرب، استدعاني للحديث وقال لي أعلم أنك تحب اللعب على اليسار، لكنني سأحتاجك في مراكز أخرى أيضًا، أبلغته أنني هنا لمساعدة الفريق، يعلم الجميع أنني أفضل اللعب على اليسار وأنني أفضل بكثير على هذا الجناح لكنني دائمًا متاح للفريق للعب على اليمين أو كصانع ألعاب، وأخبرته بذلك”.

وأضاف: “في الحقيقة هو يضعني فقط على اليسار وأنا سعيد بمستوى الدقائق التي أحصل عليها، أنا ألعب بشكل جيد مع أنني منطقيًا، أرغب في اللعب أكثر، أنا في مرحلة التطور وأتحسن باستمرار، وأشعر بالسعادة، أدائي أفضل بالاستمرارية”.

وأتم: “يجب احترام قرارات المدرب، إذا كنت أساسيًا، فعليك بذل قصارى جهدك ولكن إذا كنت بديلًا، فالأمر نفسه، هكذا أفكر، إذا شاركت لمدة 20 دقيقة، أبذل قصارى جهدي فيها، هذا جيد لاسمي وللفريق، أحاول الاستفادة القصوى من كل دقيقة ألعبها بهذا القميص”.

In Multan, WI knew they had to get their runs before the ball with their name on it came and they did that

ESPNcricinfo staff27-Jan-2025

West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite said that batters had to be brave and trust their plans to succeed on the difficult pitches in Multan, after they won the second of two Tests to level the series and also create a little bit of history. This 120-run victory was their first in Pakistan for 34 years.Brathwaite led by example. After being part of a collapse that left West Indies 38 for 7 in the first innings, he chose a far more aggressive approach in the second. In fact, he made his fastest fifty in Tests, consciously taking chances against the Pakistan spinners. This approach earned West Indies a lead of 254 and it proved plenty more than enough.”Both Test matches the pitch was tough to bat on and we knew that so as I said I just wanted us to be brave, to do whatever plans we have, to go there and execute them as good as possible, because regardless of what there will be a ball with your with your name on it on this pitch,” Brathwaite told reporters after the second Test in Multan on Monday.Related

“I mean it was a difficult pitch to bat on so it was good to see the confidence we went about doing it and you know as I said very proud of this team.”It was just for the batsmen to be brave you know. I mean as batsmen, as I said everyone’s going to have their plans. Be brave in whatever you want to do as batsmen,” Brathwaite said about West Indies’ strategy. “Bowling wise bring forward the batsmen as much as possible and there will be 20 balls that you will get 20 wickets because as I said the pitch is a difficult pitch so there’s no second guessing.Brathwaite maintained that the pitch was “very, very difficult” but had no complaints about PCB preparing spinning tracks.”I would say Pakistan could prepare the pitch how they want. What I’ll say is batsman will not be averaging high on these pitches. You would average 15-20 and obviously the spinners will do well. and as I said it’s a difficult Test pitch to score runs. You’re going to get out regardless, it’s just a matter of when. So you know as batters we had to come up with a plan of how we want to score and put runs on the board.”Jomel Warrican finished the series as the leading wicket-taker•AFP/Getty Images

Brathwaite also heaped praise on Jomel Warrican. The left-arm spinner finished the series with 19 wickets – the most by a visiting bowler in a two-Test series in Pakistan.”Jomel was outstanding. To see how he went about his bowling and the pressure he built from from ball one, I mean it was amazing,” Brathwaite said.Warrican also put in a crucial contribution with the bat, finishing unbeaten on 36 in the first innings, with his 68-run stand for the last wicket with Gudakesh Motie key in reviving West Indies from being 38 for 7 after they won the toss and chose to bat.”With the bat you can’t count him out, I think he did a fantastic job with the bat as well. But bowling wise I know he’s worked hard over the years. He’s been in and out of the team but it’s good to see him get the chance and he grabbed it. very very proud of him uh he was outstanding.”West Indies’ triumph in Multan came almost exactly a year after Gabba 2024, and Brathwaite said it showed their ability to adapt to different conditions.”It’s a very important win for us it just shows that we can get it done in any conditions once we believe and always have a plan,” he said. “It’s right up there with some amazing Test wins because coming here, playing here in Pakistan, it’s never easy to win a test match you know so coming up with a win is fantastic.”

Celtic could now sign a summer transfer target for a “relatively small fee” this summer, in a potential boost for Brendan Rodgers.

Celtic closing in on Balikwisha signing

Royal Antwerp forward Michel-Ange Balikwisha has been heavily linked with a move to Parkhead before the summer transfer window slams shut, with an agreement even reportedly in place.

The 24-year-old has met with the club over a move to Celtic this summer, and it looks increasingly like it is a matter of time until his move is made official, with a medical pencilled in for this week.

Balikwisha would be just what the doctor ordered for Celtic, in terms of providing Rodgers with extra firepower, aiding their Champions League push and ensuring that they are once again crowned Scottish Premiership champions in 2025/26.

It looks as though the Hoops may not be done there, though, with another attacking player now mentioned as a strong option for them over the next week.

Celtic could sign Calvin Stengs on the cheap

According to Football Insider, Celtic could sign Feyenoord winger Calvin Stengs for a “relatively small fee” and thus afford him as well as Balikwisha this week, with journalist Pete O’Rourke sharing the latest.

“We know that Celtic are looking to bring in a new wideman. Stengs is a player that has emerged on Celtic’s radar – he had a difficult season for Feyenoord, a few injury problems, so that may be a concern for Celtic.

“He’s into the final two years of his contract with Feyenoord, so could be available for a cut-price fee this summer. Celtic are looking at that, seeing there could be real potential to land a former Dutch international for a relatively small fee with a bid imminent.”

The £5m-rated Stengs would be such an eye-catching signing for Celtic and Rodgers, arriving at the peak of his powers and providing impressive levels of end product in the final third.

The 26-year-old has already scored three goals in just eight caps for the Netherlands, looking to be a key figure heading into the 2026 World Cup next summer, and 54 goal contributions in 119 Eredivisie appearances is an impressive return.

Most adept in an attacking midfield role, Stengs can also do a good job on the right wing, with such versatility a bonus for Rodgers, and there is no reason why he couldn’t hit the ground running from the off.

We answer all your questions about the upcoming Champions Trophy in Pakistan and the UAE

Hemant Brar06-Feb-2025

When is Champions Trophy 2025 starting?Champions Trophy 2025 will begin on February 19, with hosts Pakistan taking on New Zealand in Karachi. The final will be played on March 9. Click here for the full schedule.It has been a while since we had a Champions Trophy, right?Yes, the previous edition was played in 2017, in England and Wales, where Pakistan beat India in the final. Here is the list of all previous winners.Why has there been such a long gap?Since its inception in 1998, the tournament was played every two years till 2009. After that, it was moved to a four-year cycle. India were supposed to host the 2021 edition but it was replaced with the T20 World Cup, which was ultimately played in the UAE.Related

Context is king as Pakistan and New Zealand open pre-Champions Trophy tri-series

So Pakistan are the hosts this time?Yes, but there is more to it. Since India refused to travel to Pakistan, the PCB opted for a hybrid model with India’s matches to be held in Dubai. That decision was arrived at after a long impasse. The Pakistan leg will be played in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi. The National Stadium in Karachi and the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore are undergoing significant upgrades and renovation, almost racing against time. Their readiness will be tested during the tri-series, involving Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa, just before the Champions Trophy.Where will the opening ceremony be held then?The PCB will host an event in Lahore on February 16 to mark the start of the tournament. However, there will be no captains’ meet, or press conference, because of logistical reasons. This also ends the speculations about whether India captain Rohit Sharma will travel to Pakistan or not.But why are India not going to Pakistan when everyone else is?Because of political tension between the two countries. Even Indian match officials are not travelling to Pakistan. The last time India visited Pakistan was for the 2008 Asia Cup, even though Pakistan have played several ICC tournaments in India since then, including the 2023 ODI World Cup. Before the Champions Trophy, the two boards and the ICC reached an agreement that till 2027, even Pakistan’s matches in an ICC tournament hosted in India would be played at a neutral venue.When was the last time an ICC tournament was held in Pakistan?For that, you will have to go all the way back to 1996, when Pakistan co-hosted the ODI World Cup with India and Sri Lanka. Pakistan were supposed to host the Champions Trophy in 2008. But due to security concerns, the tournament was eventually played in South Africa in 2009.Are India playing Pakistan in Champions Trophy 2025?Yes, they are in the same group and will face each other on February 23, Sunday in Dubai. Unlike the World Cups, where India have a 15-1 head-to-head record, things have been much closer in the Champions Trophy, with Pakistan leading 3-2.Fakhar Zaman, centurion and Player of the Match in the final of the last Champions Trophy, has been recalled for this year’s edition•Getty Images

How many teams are participating in all?Eight, the same as the 2017 edition. The only difference is that Afghanistan have qualified ahead of Sri Lanka this time. The teams are divided into two groups. Group A has India, New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and Group B South Africa, Australia, Afghanistan and England. You can find all the squads here.How were the participants decided?Being the hosts, Pakistan secured automatic qualification. The other seven teams were decided based on the 2023 ODI World Cup standings. Sri Lanka and Netherlands, who finished ninth and tenth, missed the cut.What happened to West Indies?Since West Indies had not qualified for the 2023 ODI World Cup, they could not compete for the Champions Trophy either. It was the same case for Zimbabwe and Ireland, the other missing Full Members.What is the format for the Champions Trophy?Each team will play its fellow group members once. After that, the top two teams from each group will qualify for the semi-finals, with A1 playing B2 and B1 playing A2.If India qualify, they will play their semi-final in Dubai on March 4, irrespective of their position on the points table. Similarly, if Pakistan qualify, they will play their semi-final in Lahore on March 5.The final will be played on March 9 in Lahore, unless India make it till there. In that case, the venue will once again be Dubai.What will happen if a match ends in a tie?All tied matches throughout the tournament will be decided via the Super Over. If the Super Over is also tied, then subsequent Super Overs will be played until there is a winner.Joe Root is back in England’s ODI plans for the Champions Trophy•Getty Images

Is there a reserve day for the knockout matches?Yes, the two semi-finals and the final have a reserve day. But every attempt will be made to finish the game on the scheduled day itself. If that is not possible, the match will resume on the reserve day from where it was stopped.In the knockout matches, the team batting second should have the opportunity to play at least 25 overs – as opposed to 20 in the group stage – for the result to be decided via the DLS method.What happens if there is still a washout?In case of a no result in the semi-finals, the team that finished higher in the group stage will proceed to the final. If the final is washed out, the trophy will be shared.Has there ever been joint winners?Yes, India and hosts Sri Lanka shared the trophy in 2002 after the final was washed out. There was a reserve day in place but, as per the playing conditions back then, the match was played afresh. On both days, Sri Lanka batted first and played their full 50 overs, but rain did not allow more than ten overs in the second innings on either occasion.What are some of the key things I need to know about the teams?Australia go into the tournament as ODI world champions but their captain Pat Cummins, fast bowler Josh Hazlewood and allrounder Mitchell Marsh have been ruled out with injuries. Also Marcus Stoinis has retired. Australia have until February 12 to name their replacements.South Africa will be without Anrich Nortje and Gerald Coetzee (both injured). On the other hand, a fit-again Ibrahim Zadran is back for Afghanistan. Also keep an eye out for their mystery spinner AM Ghazanfar.India will hope Rohit and Virat Kohli come good after poor returns in Test cricket lately. Pakistan have recalled Fakhar Zaman, the Player of the Match in the final last time, and England have done the same with Joe Root, while Bangladesh have left out Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das. New Zealand will play their first global tournament under Mitchell Santner.Finally, where can I watch the games?Depending on your location, you can watch the games as per the following.Afghanistan – Ariana TV

O técnico Luís Castro adotou um tom de despedida assim que chegou ao Nilton Santos para comandar o Botafogo. Em entrevista antes da partida com o Magallanes, pelo Grupo A da Copa Sul-Americana, o treinador se esquivou de adiantar seus próximos passos no futebol. No entanto, indicou que esta deve ser sua última partida à frente do Glorioso.

Castro aceitou a proposta de comandar o Al-Nassr, clube da Arábia Saudita. Em suas palavras ao sair do ônibus do Alvinegro, o técnico afirmou:

–  Ao longo da minha vida, eu me foquei naquilo que é meu compromisso. Meu compromisso de hoje é o que me acompanha sempre. Sempre cumpri meus contratos, cumpri todas as linhas que as duas entidades assinam. Assinou o Botafogo, assinei eu. Uma das linhas diz que, se eu quiser sair antes, tenho que dar ao Botafogo aquilo que iria receber até o fim da temporada – afirmou, em entrevista à Paramount +.

O treinador evitou adiantar se a torcida botafoguense voltará a vê-lo na beira do campo do Alvinegro. Em seguida, exaltou a força da equipe para o futuro.

–  Botafogo não depende de pessoas, depende de perfis para desempenharem funções dentro do clube. O Botafogo sabe caminhar por ele e terá um futuro brilhante, tenho certeza, por ter uma torcida apaixonada, pessoas trabalhando no clube de forma apaixonada. Interessa é o perfil, ser um perfil de acordo com aquilo de que o Botafogo necessita. Um perfil de honestidade, dignidade, determinação e ambição – garantiu.

Manchester United’s need for added attacking reinforcements this summer was evident after only managing to find the net on 44 occasions in the Premier League last season.

Anthony, Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford have all departed the Red Devils, freeing up funds for Ruben Amorim to make the additions he wanted this summer.

Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are two signings who have joined the club, with the latter already opening his account after netting against Burnley last Saturday.

Whilst the duo may have cost the hierarchy around £130m, they do have the Premier League experience needed to help the club avoid a bottom-half finish – just like they did in the 2024/25 campaign.

However, other additions have been made within the final third throughout the off-season, leading to Amorim and the board taking a gamble on one young European talisman.

Benjamin Sesko’s move to join United this summer

A new striker was a huge priority for United this summer, with Benjamin Sesko the man chosen to lead the line for the Red Devils in 2025/26 and beyond.

The hierarchy forked out a deal totalling £73.7m, including add-ons – a figure that is a huge gamble on a player who’s only featured in Europe’s top-five leagues for two seasons.

The Slovenian has only made one start for United to date – coming in the Carabao Cup against Grimsby Town – but has been named as a substitute in all three league outings.

As a result of his limited action, the 22-year-old is yet to open his account for the club, but judgement will need to be held on his addition, given his lack of action in recent weeks.

Hopefully, Sesko will get the chance to showcase his talents after the current international break, but he could’ve been aided at the club had the hierarchy kept hold of one talent.

The former United star who would’ve got Sesko firing

As previously mentioned, Cunha and Mbeumo have also been added to the United attacking department – injecting needed goals and assists to the club’s frontline.

The pair combined for 48 combined goal contributions throughout 2024/25, with such a record higher than the Red Devils squad managed as a whole last season.

If they can replicate such numbers, they will make themselves fan-favourites, whilst also providing Sesko with the opportunities he will need to thrive within the final third.

Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system relies upon two attacking midfielders – the positions Cunha and Mbeumo have featured in – but also two wing-backs, who are tasked with having an impact in forward areas.

Patrick Dorgu currently occupies the role down the left-hand side, but former United star Alvaro Carreras is a player whom the hierarchy may regret selling too prematurely.

The 22-year-old spent four years at Old Trafford – but failed to make a single senior appearance – being sent on loan spells at the likes of Preston, Granada and Benfica.

It was the Spaniard’s spell at the latter that catapulted him to stardom, with the Portuguese outfit triggering the £5m option in his contract at the end of his loan spell in 2023/24.

His numbers from last season are nothing short of mind-boggling, registering eight combined goals and assists across all competitions – numbers which could’ve handed Sesko the ammunition he’ll need for success in Manchester.

Carreras, who’s been labelled “world-class” by one analyst, also created 1.2 chances per 90 last campaign – completing 23% of the crosses attempted, with the latter aiding the Slovenian’s aerial abilities had the hierarchy kept hold of him.

However, despite only joining Benfica a year ago, he secured another transfer in the recent window, this time moving to LaLiga giants Real Madrid in a reported £43m transfer.

Such a transfer has just compounded the Red Devils’ misery over recent years, further highlighting how many mistakes they’ve made in the transfer market, whether that be incomings or outgoings.

The prospect of the Spaniard linking up with Sesko in forward areas is something the supporters would’ve loved to see under Amorim – but unfortunately, it’ll always be a case of what could’ve been with their loss, now Madrid’s gain.

Michael Bracewell will continue as captain while uncapped Rhys Mariu has also been called up as batting cover

Tom Latham has been ruled out of the ODI series against Pakistan after suffering a fractured hand during training with Michael Bracewell to lead the side in his absence while Henry Nicholls has been called up.Latham, who was due to the captain New Zealand with Mitchell Santner at the IPL, was struck on the right hand this week with x-rays confirming the extent of the damage.Related

The uncapped 23-year-old batter Rhys Mariu, who has a first-class average of 61.73, has earned his first call-up as cover.”We’ve had to be flexible this tour with numerous players unavailable for different reasons,” New Zealand coach Gary Stead said. “What it does do is offer opportunities to others players and it’s nice to introduce Rhys into the environment for the first time, as well as welcome back Henry.”Henry’s been in good form since returning from his three-month injury lay-off and he’ll add valuable skills and experience to the team.”It’s obviously disappointing to lose Tom as captain on the eve of the series and we wish him a speedy recovery.
