'All I can do is apologise for the disappointing results' says Anderson

Somerset chief executive Peter Anderson has apologised to members and supporters for his teams poor performances this season

Richard Walsh20-Sep-2002Somerset chief executive Peter Anderson has apologised to members and supporters for his teams poor performances this season.Speaking at the County Ground he told me: "We have had a very poor season despite a Lord’s Final appearance, and all I can do is apologise to members and supporters for the disappointing results."Somerset supporters will need no reminding of the fact that their team, who last year enjoyed probably the best ever season in the history of the club, have this year struggled in all but the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy and been relegated in both the county championship and the NUL National League.The Somerset boss spoke frankly about the situation: "It is easy to say sack the coach, the players or even the chief executive but that doesn’t solve anything. Vic Marks, will chair a discussion with the coach and some of the senior players to try to find out just exactly what went wrong."Mr Anderson continued: "It is puzzling that the same players who last year won the C and G Trophy and finished runner’s up in the county championship were so poor this year."He concluded: "We are making financial provision to sign a second overseas player and to sign two or three more players from the domestic scene. We operate with a small squad and this is because we have to live within our means."

Palmeiras roda elenco antes de decisões; veja quem falta jogar

MatériaMais Notícias

Dos 27 jogadores inscritos pelo Palmeiras no Paulistão – a 28ª vaga era de Lucas Barrios, que foi para o Grêmio -, apenas o goleiro Vinicius Silvestre e o meia Hyoran ainda não atuaram na competição. Eles também estão entre os únicos atletas do elenco que ainda não fizeram partidas oficiais em 2017. Por coincidência ou não, ambos treinaram como titulares nesta segunda-feira, o que abre a possibilidade de vê-los em campo na quarta, contra a Ponte Preta, na última rodada da primeira fase do Estadual.

O Palmeiras garantiu sua vaga nas quartas de final do Paulistão com três rodadas de antecedência. Eduardo Baptista tem aproveitado os jogos restantes para dar minutos a atletas que estavam sem espaço: Rafael Marques fez seu primeiro jogo oficial no ano contra o Mirassol, jogo em que Erik, Alecsandro e Vitinho foram utilizados. Esses três últimos também atuaram contra o Audax, no último sábado, sendo que Alecsandro foi titular.

Além de Vinicius Silvestre e Hyoran, o único do elenco que não fez partidas oficiais em 2017 foi Arouca, que já passou por duas cirurgias no tornozelo direito (a última na sexta passada) e inclusive foi cortado da lista de inscritos no Paulistão. Daniel Fuzato, Vitão e Léo Passos, todos garotos da base, treinam na Academia, mas são apostas para o futuro.

No fim de semana, o Palmeiras inicia a disputa das quartas de final contra o Novorizontino, fora de casa. Eduardo Baptista disse que pretende utilizar contra a Ponte Preta, às 21h45 de quarta-feira, a equipe mais próxima do ideal que puder. A missão, no entanto, não é fácil. Com Jean machucado, Tchê Tchê e Thiago Santos suspensos e Mina, Borja, Guerra e Dudu em suas seleções (jogam nesta terça), ele ensaiou a seguinte equipe nesta segunda:

Vinicius Silvestre, Fabiano, Edu Dracena, Vitor Hugo e Zé Roberto; Felipe Melo; Róger Guedes, Hyoran, Raphael Veiga e Erik; Willian. A escalação será definida em treino fechado na tarde desta terça.

Filme repetido! Rafael Sóbis marca, Cruzeiro vence e passa na Copa BR

MatériaMais Notícias

Pra variar, o Cruzeiro venceu mais uma nesta temporada. A vítima da vez foi o Murici -AL. Na partida de volta da terceira fase da Copa do Brasil, a Raposa fez 3 a 0 (na ida, havia vencido por 2 a 0) e avançou na competição, na noite desta quarta-feira. Os gols foram marcados por Rafael Sóbis , Claudio e Deysinho, que fizeram contra. Em 12 jogos na temporada, o Cruzeiro tem 11 vitórias e um empate.

Na próxima fase, que contará com dez times e antecede as oitavas de final. o Cruzeiro tem grandes chances de encarar um rival da Série A. Fluminense, São Paulo, Inter e Sport já avançaram. A lista ainda pode incluir Corinthians e Vasco, que jogam nesta quinta-feira. O sorteio será nesta sexta-feira.

Com um 2 a 0 construído no jogo de ida, o Cruzeiro entrou em campo em ritmo lento. Além disso, estava bem disperso. Nem mesmo a boa chegada de Rafael Sóbis, aos 8 conseguiu fazer os mineiros acordarem em campo.

O camisa 7 recebeu livre na grande área, mas pegou muito embaixo da bola e isolou. Dos pés de Sóbis nasceu uma outra boa jogada e Alisson tentou a bomba de longe. Na sequência, Alisson tabela com Thiago Neves, que perde o gol na pequena área.

Aos 31, porém, a Raposa tirou o zero do placar: TN30 cobra falta eCláudio, de cabeça, faz contra. O gol, enfim, acordou o time. Ainda em busca do primeiro gol, Thiago deu a quarta assistência desde sua estreia, há menos de um mês. Seis minutos depois, Sóbis é derrubado na área e ele mesmo converte o pênalti. É o quinto gol do artilheiro na Copa do Brasil e o oitavo na temporada.

No segundo tempo, o Cruzeiro voltou com mais empenho que o primeiro, mas demoraria mais para poder marcar. Os melhores momentos ficaram reservados para o terço final. Thiago Neves perdeu pênalti que ele mesmo sofreu. Mas ele se redimiu. Nos minutos finais, nova assistência para um gol contra. Desta vez, Deysinho, fez um lindo gol de cabeça contra a meta de Dias: 3 a 0.

Agora do outro lado, Egídio marcou na última vitória do Palmeiras sobre o Fluminense no Maracanã

Fluminense e Palmeiras se reencontram no estádio do Maracanã pela segunda rodada do Brasileirão nesta quarta-feira (12), às 21h30. O Tricolor carioca volta a campo após a derrota para o Grêmio por 1 a 0, no Sul, enquanto o Verdão faz a estreia na competição.

A última vitória do Alviverde sobre o Flu no estádio aconteceu em 2017, no segundo turno do Campeonato Brasileiro. Na ocasião, o gol do triunfo por 1 a 0 foi marcado por Egídio, atualmente no Fluminense. O lateral-esquerdo acertou um belo chute de fora da área e garantiu os três pontos para a equipe de Cuca.

Já no ano passado, o Flu repetiu o placar e deixou Mano Menezes ainda mais ameaçado no cargo de técnico palmeirense. Ele caiu na rodada seguinte após derrota para o Flamengo, no Allianz Parque.

السفير البريطاني في مصر: جماهير ليفربول تعجبت من ضم محمد صلاح "العبقري".. ونتمنى بقاءه بإنجلترا

وصف جاريث بايلي، سفير إنجلترا في مصر، النجم المصري محمد صلاح جناح فريق ليفربول بـ”السفير المصري في بريطانيا”.

وكان محمد صلاح قد توج أمس مع ليفربول بكأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي، بعد فوزه على حساب تشيلسي بركلات الترجيح بنتيجة 6-5.

وتعرض محمد صلاح لإصابة عضلية في الدقيقة 33 أجبرته على الخروج، حيث اضطر المدرب يورجن كلوب إلى استبداله بزميله ديوجو جوتا.

وقال جاريث بايلي في تصريحات لشبكة قنوات “أون سبورت” المصرية: “محمد صلاح عبقري، ليس عاديًا مثلنا، هذا الرجل يتمتع بشيء خاص، مو صلاح هو مثل السفير المصري في بريطانيا”.

وأضاف: “هذا الرجل العظيم على مستوى آخر فوق الكل، في البداية كانوا يستغربون من التعاقد معه، لكن مع الوقت دخل قلوب الناس، وفي جميع أنحاء بريطانيا أصبح الأطفال يرددون اسمه”.

وواصل: “نحن نريد دائمًا أن يظل في بريطانيا، بالتأكيد هناك إغراءات من أندية أخرى، لكن الشخصية المصرية تتمتع بانتماء للنادي، وهو عنده انتماء للنادي والمشجعين لديهم نفس الانتماء له وكأنه واحد من العائلة”.

تقارير إسبانية تكشف سر فشل انتقال هالاند إلى ريال مدريد

كشفت تقارير صحفية إسبانية السبب وراء فشل صفقة انتقال إيرلينج هالاند نجم بوروسيا دورتموند إلى نادي ريال مدريد.

وكان ريال مدريد أحد الأندية الراغبة في الحصول على خدمات هالاند في موسم الانتقالات الصيفي المقبل، إلى جانب متنافسين آخر مثل باريس سان جيرمان، برشلونة، مانشستر سيتي، وليفربول.

ولكن تقارير صحفية في الساعات الماضية أكدت أن مانشستر سيتي حسم صفقة هالاند بنجاح، بعد التوصل إلى اتفاق كامل مع اللاعب النرويجي وبوروسيا دورتموند.

وذكرت صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية، نقلًا عن “كادينا سير”، أن المفاوضات بين هالاند ورئيس نادي ريال مدريد فلورنتينو بيريز قد فشلت بسبب بند طالب به وكيله الراحل مينو رايولا.

وأوضحت أن رايولا طالب ريال مدريد – خلال المفاوضات – بوضع شرط جزائي قدره 150 مليون يورو، بحيث يكون فعالًا في الموسم الثاني للاعب في سانتياجو برنابيو.

كان هذا يعني أنه إذا لم تسر الأمور على ما يرام، فيمكنه مغادرة النادي، حيث إن 150 مليون يورو للاعب في مثل أهمية هالاند هي رسوم ليست باهظة التكلفة.

وأفادت أن فلورنتينو بيريز عارض مثل هذا البند، متقبلًا أنه لا يمكنه الاستثمار في اللاعب مع احتمال رحيله قريبًا.

على سبيل المثال، في ريال مدريد، لدى إيدير ميليتاو شرط بقيمة مليار يورو، حيث يحب النادي الملكي تقييد لاعبيه، وإذا أراد نادِ ما ضمه، فعليهم التفاوض، لأن بنودهم لا يمكن تحملها.

Man City set to miss out on Ramos

Manchester City look set to miss out on Sergio Ramos this summer after football journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that he is on the brink of a move to PSG.

Ramos set to sign for PSG

City had been linked with a move for the legendary centre-back after it was revealed that he would leave Real Madrid this summer but it seems as if PSG have won the race to sign him, after Romano posted on Twitter that:

“Sergio Ramos will undergo his medical in the next hours then he’ll sign with PSG until June 2023.”

Should Man City have signed him?

Whilst many will point towards City’s impressive defensive record last season, which was built heavily on the partnership of Ruben Dias and John Stones, whilst also having the quality of Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake available as squad depth, City fell short when it mattered most in the Champions League final against Chelsea.

Having a serial winner in the squad, such as Ramos, who has won four Champions League trophies and five La Liga titles during his time at Real Madrid, might well have been the difference against Thomas Tuchel’s side.

Although he was substituted in the first half, fellow experienced centre-back Thiago Silva proved to be a vital signing for the Blues last season and dramatically improved their defence thanks to his ability and experience as a centre-back.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-manchester-city-transfer-rumours-and-news” title=”Read the latest Manchester City transfer rumours and news!”]

Despite being 35-years-old, Ramos undoubtedly still has the drive to play at the top level and could’ve been a superb addition to Guardiola’s squad, both on and off the pitch.

Spain manager Luis Enrique was full of praise for the experienced defender last year after he equalled Gianluigi Buffon’s record for international caps, saying:

“Sergio is unique. He is on a different level. The appearance record is only within the reach of those who are very gifted.”

[freshpress-quiz id=“577936″]

City fans should be disappointed that Txiki Begiristain seemingly didn’t make a significant move for Ramos, as he could’ve been the difference between the Citizens winning the Champions League or not next season, and considering he was available on a free transfer, he surely would have been worth the risk.
