Everton hope to gazump Arsenal for White

With a new manager in place at Everton, pre-season training underway and the summer’s major tournaments done and dusted, the Toffees can finally start making some inroads in the transfer market.

At the moment, Rafa Benitez is yet to conclude any meaningful business so he needs to get his skates on.

What’s the word?

One player Everton have considered a move for this summer is Ben White.

The Brighton defender was part of the England squad for the European Championships but Gareth Southgate didn’t reward him with any minutes.

White has attracted the interest of Arsenal with the Gunners still the frontrunners to sign him.

Everton entered the race a few weeks ago and were willing to put £55m on the table in various instalments.

Ian McGarry of the Transfer Window podcast issued an update on the 23-year-old’s situation this week. He commented (via the Sport Review):

“We’ve been discussing for several podcasts the future of Ben White with regards to a potential move to Arsenal.

“We’ve also reported exclusively that there is interest from Chelsea and Everton, who are playing a waiting game to see if Arsenal realise the valuation that Brighton feel is correct for their 23-year-old centre-back and then perhaps will try and gazump Arsenal by offering more money.”

Supporters should be delighted

If the idea of signing White doesn’t generate excitement among supporters then beating one of the Premier League’s big six to a player would surely thrill the Goodison Park faithful.

This is a huge season for Everton and as always, the goal is to secure European football.

With a vastly experienced coach in Benitez at the helm, there are reasons to believe they could get close but the arrival of White would only help them in their assignment.

The centre-back only has a year of Premier League experience under his belt but he looks set for an incredibly vibrant future right at the top of the game.

White developed tremendously well at Leeds United during a loan spell in the Championship throughout 2019/20, being named in the second tier’s Team of the Season. Since then, he’s taken to the top-flight like a duck to water.

He completed over 83% of his passes, proving he has the ability to transition play and won an impressive 1.7 interceptions per match.

Everton’s defence struggled towards the back end of the season, eventually shipping five to Manchester City on the final day.

Therefore, their first port of call this summer must be strengthening the defence. White is a centre-back who has all of the qualities necessary to become a mainstay at Goodison Park.

He is young, has plenty of re-sale value and is already an England international.

Consequently, supporters should be enthralled by the idea of Benitez bringing him to Merseyside.

AND in other news, Everton may repeat their Walcott howler by signing £30m gem who Rafa compared to Messi…

Timão confia em força na Arena e põe liderança do Paulista como meta

MatériaMais Notícias

Mesmo classificado para a próxima fase do Campeonato Paulista, o Corinthians tem motivação para os três jogos que restam na primeira fase da competição. O clube traçou como meta a primeira colocação geral do torneio, a fim de poder decidir em casa os jogos de mata-mata que virão pela frente.

O Timão era o líder da competição até o último domingo, quando perdeu de 1 a 0 para a Ferroviária. O Palmeiras, então segundo colocado, venceu o Santos e acabou ultrapassando o Alvinegro em dois pontos.

-É sempre bom decidir em casa, sabemos da força da nossa torcida. A meta é ficar em primeiro geral, confirmar a liderança do grupo e aí tentar buscar as vitórias para ficar em primeiro geral. Hoje estamos em segundo, precisamos tentar ultrapassar o Palmeiras para decidir as próximas fases em casa – declarou o goleiro Cássio.

Pensando no primeiro lugar, o técnico corintiano, Fabio Carille, prometeu não poupar titulares nesta quinta-feira, contra o Red Bull, mesmo tendo clássico contra o São Paulo no domingo.

Contudo, o Timão já tem três baixas confirmadas: o meia Jadson está suspenso, enquanto Fagner e Romero serão desfalques por estarem com suas seleções.

SPCL 1 – Bashley beat B.A.T., now can they do them a favour

BAT Sports’ bid to land an ECB Southern Electric Premier League and SE Contracting Cup double has been derailed by Bashley (Rydal)

Mike Vimpany (as published in Daily Echo)18-Jul-2002BAT Sports’ bid to land an ECB Southern Electric Premier League and SE Contracting Cup double has been derailed by Bashley (Rydal).But the table-topping Premier Division 1 champions are optimistic the New Forest club can give BAT’s hopes of retaining the title a massive boost by beating Havant tomorrow, 11am.BAT, who lost their SEC Cup semi-final by six wickets to Bashley in midweek, take a nine-point advantage into tomorrow’s twelfth round of matches.But, if they beat lowly Burridge at Southern Gardens and Bashley complete the double over second-placed Havant, the advantage at the top will be massive.Skipper Dave Banks reckons the midweek SEC Cup defeat by Bashley – in which Neil Taylor took 5-10 to completely wreck the BAT batting – will have knocked any overconfidence out of the team."We came away from last week’s three-wicket win at Havant on a real high, but were knocked back on the seat of our pants in midweek."Our batting was poor – we made only 104-8 in the cup tie – and got hammered," Banks recalled. "It might be the best thing that could have happened," he added.BAT, with 14 successive all-day wins under their belts, send out an unchanged team against Burridge, but Havant go to Bashley minus influential South African all-rounder Malcolm Hobson and possibly Bevis Moynan.Bashley, who will play the winners of Monday’s tie between South Wilts or Rowledge in the SEC Cup final at the Rose Bowl on August 2, have Chris Sketchley back in their side.But cup hero Neil Taylor knows that Havant will want to bounce back after losing to BAT Sports."They pulled off a great win in the ECB Club Championships on Sunday and are through to the national quarter-finals against Stanmore next weekend."Beating Clifton & Optimists – one of the top clubs in the West of England Premier Leaguewas a terrific result and underlined the character they’ve got in the team," he said.Third-placed Bournemouth have opener Matt Swarbrick heading the Premier Division 1 averages after last week’s boundary-strewn 143 at South Wilts.But Swarbrick, who is averaging 62.29 after scoring 436 runs in eight knocks, won’t get an opportunity of playing against his former county 2nd XI team-mate Raj Maru when Bournemouth travel to Portsmouth, who lie one place below them in the table.Lee Savident skippers the Portsmouth side, while Bournemouth, minus Dan Jackson, call up Chris Insall from their promotion chasing Hampshire League second team.Inconsistent Andover, who have been shot out for less than 100 on three occasions this season, need to bounce back at the expense of relegation threatened Liphook & Ripsley at London Road.It’s a crucial game too for Liphook, who have won only once and are struggling to impose themselves in the all-day game.South Wilts also need a pick-me-up after last week’s nine-wicket drubbing by Bournemouth.But the SEC Cup semi-finalists are no nearer resolving the problems they have in the bowling department, ie a near total lack of penetration.Calmore Sports old boy Paul Draper will be looking to repeat his Loperwood Park heroics in the Lower Bemerton return.

Newcastle United: Magpies suffer blow in Dion Sanderson pursuit

Newcastle United have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Dion Sanderson, with Sheffield United now lining up a bid for his services [Football Insider].

The Lowdown: Newcastle United get set for 2021/22

Moving towards 2021/22, many Magpies supporters will be intrigued to see how manager Steve Bruce goes about improving on their 12th placed finish last term considering the awkward state of limbo surrounding the takeover.

Though they haven’t dipped their toes into the transfer market waters as of yet, the Toon have been linked with moves for the likes of Sanderson and Ozan Kabak in recent days.

However, it appears they are facing an uphill battle to acquire the 21-year-old as more and more interest is drawn to his services.

The Latest: Sheffield United set to rival Newcastle and Sunderland for Sanders0n

Sheffield United are said to be readying an offer to lure the youngster away from Molineux, revealed by a Football Insider recruitment source.

Newcastle United have been interested in Sanderson as far back as last month alongside rivals Sunderland, and saw a £1.5 million bid rejected by his current employers for his signature.

Intriguingly, the Blades are willing to attempt to bring the 6 foot 1 ace on a loan deal if a permanent deal cannot be achieved, perhaps giving them the upper edge in negotiations if Wolves want to pursue a temporary switch.

The Verdict: Would be a bitter blow for Newcastle United

Predominantly used as a central defender, Sanderson’s concentration and awareness to dangerous situations at such a young age have catapulted him to be a sought-after commodity this summer.

In 2020/21, the Wolverhampton-born stopper made 27 appearances on loan at Sunderland, registering one goal [Transfermarkt].

Demonstrating his domineering presence at the back, Sanderson won 2.3 aerial duels on average per game across the campaign [WhoScored]. Sniffing out perilous situations was his forte, making around 2.7 clearances per match within this timeframe [WhoScored].

Looking ahead to the forthcoming campaign, the Magpies should be looking to gazump Sheffield United to sign Sanderson before it’s too late, as missing out on a promising young talent for what seems a relatively small fee could be a huge blow.

توخيل يعلق على إمكانية الدفع بـ كيبا مجددًا في ركلات الترجيح أمام ليفربول

تحدث توماس توخيل المدير الفني لفريق تشيلسي عن مباراة الغد المرتقبة أمام ليفربول في نهائي كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي، وخطته أمام الريدز واستراتيجيته حال اتجهت المباراة لركلات الترجيح.

ويلتقي تشيلسي وليفربول غدًا السبت على ملعب “ويمبلي”، وقد سبق وتواجها في نهائي كأس كاراباو وفاز فريق يورجن كلوب بركلات الترجيح، وكان توخيل قد دفع حينها بحارس المرمى كيبا أريزابلاجا بدلاً من ميندي لكن حسم ليفربول المباراة لصالحه.

وتحدث توخيل في المؤتمر الصحفي الخاص بالمباراة وسُئل إذا كان سيتبع نمطًا مشابهًا للمباريات السابقة وأجاب: “بدأ الأمر بمباراة الموسم الماضي على ملعب آنفيلد، وتعادل هذا الموسم على ملعب أنفيلد، وتعادل في ستامفورد بريدج، ثم أكثر من 120 دقيقة وركلات الترجيح في نهائي كأس كاراباو، لا أتوقع أشياء جديدة مجنونة منهم وليس منا أيضًا”.

وعن السجل الضعيف في نهائيات كأس الاتحاد الانجليزي، أفاد: “لا أعلم، بلوغ النهائيات إنجاز كبير ويجب أن يكون هناك خاسر في هذه النهائيات، هناك زخم خاص عليك اللحاق به وقليل من الحظ، الجو جيد والزخم على ما يرام بعد رد الفعل في ليدز والجميع يعرف ما نحن بصدده، نريد أن نصل لنكافح ليفربول بشدة”.

وإذا كان الفوز بكأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي يجعل هذا الموسم ناجحًا، أوضح توخيل: ” لدينا فرصة للفوز بشيء محلي غدًا، لقد وصلنا إلى نهائي كأس كاراباو وكأس العالم للأندية، هناك مواسم وهناك فرق كانت لها مواسم أسوأ”.

وعن الذي سيحدث الفارق، أردف الألماني: “يمكن أن يكون أي شيء، ركلة ثابتة، تسديدة تنحرف عن القائم، من يحصل على الصدارة أولاً، أياً كان، لقد خضنا مؤخرًا بعض التطابقات المتقاربة مع قرارات أو بطاقة حمراء أو خطأ كبير، هناك الكثير من القصص المختلفة من المباريات السابقة ولهذا لا أعتقد أنه يمكننا التركيز على نقطة واحدة فقط”.

وأكمل: “أشعر بشعور كبير بالنسبة لي أن أصل إلى الملعب غدًا، لكن نعم، لديك أمل أنه إذا كانت هذه هي المباراة الوحيدة في نهاية الأسبوع، فربما تحظى بمزيد من الاهتمام”.

وسُئل توخيل إذا كان سيدفع بـ كيبا إذا ذهبت لركلات الترجيح، ورد ضاحكًا: “كيبا يتدرب لمدة ستة أسابيع، لن أخبرك، لدي رأي في ذلك لكني لن أخبرك، عندما يتعلق الأمر به، سترى”.

واسترسل: “حتى لو قررنا مثل ما حدث في كأس كاراباو من قبل، إذا سنحت لنا الفرصة سنفعل ذلك، عند الاقتراب من المباراة، نقول دائمًا دعونا ننتظر المباراة ودعنا نرى كيف ستسير، دعنا نرى ما إذا كان لا يزال لدينا تغيير متاح، دعونا نرى كيف تسير المباراة مع ميندي، لم يحدث ذلك من قبل ولن يتم الآن، لدينا خطة لما يمكننا القيام به فيما يتعلق بالممارسة، أشعر بالحيرة قليلاً بشأن مقدار التدريب الذي يمكنك ممارسته”.

وواصل: “يسدد اللاعبون الكثير من ضربات الجزاء بشكل يومي خلال الموسم، بدأ الجميع فجأة في تسديد عشر ركلات جزاء في اليوم، وهو أمر جيد برأيي أن يكون هناك روتين معين للاعبين، لكن ركلات الترجيح غدًا بعد 120 دقيقة من القتال العنيف وفي ملعب ممتلئ إنها قصة مختلفة، لا يمكنك التدريب، هناك بعض الأساليب والإجراءات التي يمكنك البحث فيها، هذا ما نفعله ولكن على مدى فترة طويلة من الزمن”.

وعن مخططات وكيل لوكاكو لمحادثات مع الملاك الجدد للنادي، علّق توخيل: “إذا كان يخطط للتحدث مع المالك، فربما لا تكون خطته للتحدث معي، إذا حصل على اجتماع فربما يمكنه التحدث، هذا حقه وسنتحدث مع أي شخص ونقيم وضع أي لاعب بما في ذلك روميلو”.

في حين أن كالوم هدسون أودوي وبن تشيلويل لن يكونا متاحين للنهائي، فإن توخيل لديه قرار بالتقدم في المقدمة وألمح إلى أن واحدًا فقط من كاي هافرتز وروميلو لوكاكو سيقود خط البلوز في ويمبلي.

وأتم: “يمكنني أن ألعب بكليهما على الرغم من أنهما كانا يفتقران إلى التوافق التام معًا، من المحتمل جدًا أن يكون واحد منهما لكن لن نعلن التشكيلة اليوم، روميلو لعب وسجل هدفًا مؤخرًا، فعل كل شيء للبقاء في الملعب وصباح الغد سأحدد”.

Entre altos e baixos, Fla encerra fase de testes de reservas no Carioca

MatériaMais Notícias

Com um clássico pela frente no próximo domingo, o Flamengo parece ter encerrado o período de testes no Campeonato Carioca.De acordo com dados do Footstats, 29 jogadores foram utilizados pelo técnico Zé Ricardo no Estadual. O treinador usou os reservas em várias ocasiões, promovendo o popular “rodízio” do elenco. O balanço do rendimento dos atletas é majoritariamente positivo. No entanto, alguns suplentes deixaram a desejar.

Na defesa, o goleiro Thiago não chegou a ser muito exigido, mas deixou uma boa impressão. Ele é o reserva imediato de Muralha e vem sendo observado pela comissão técnica. Após a saída de Paulo Victor, o Flamengo analisava a possibilidade de contratar um arqueiro experiente. Os laterais Renê e Rodinei foram discretos e ainda estão longe de lutarem por vagas no time titular. Léo Duarte, Juan e Donatti cumpriram com suas obrigações, porém também não há um clamor por mais chances para o trio.

Entre os volantes reservas, Ronaldo foi bem nos dois jogos em que participou, e Márcio Araújo ganhou a condição de titular durante os testes no Carioca. Cuéllar teve participação tímida e ainda busca espaço.

No meio, os garotos mostraram um brilho promissor. Paquetá e Matheus Sávio tiveram bons momentos no Carioca, mas ainda precisam ser mais “constantes”. Adyran, por outro lado, só teve chances no início do torneio.

Vizeu e Damião se alternaram na condição de substitutos de Guerrero. O primeiro fez dois gols neste Estadual, enquanto o mais experiente fez quatro. Berrío mostrou certas limitações técnicas, entretanto foi útil. Gabriel, por sua vez, foi testado numa nova função, como meia de criação. Cirino, que esteve perto de sair, anda em baixa. Por fim, Cafu aproveitou as duas chances que teve e deu duas assistências.

ZÉ DESTACA VALOR DE GAROTOS

O técnico Zé Ricardo lembra da importância dos garotos da base. Em alguns jogos, todo o banco de reservas do Flamengo foi formado por eles.

– Um dos objetivos nossos no Flamengo, não só do Zé, é prospectar esses meninos um pouco mais. É uma tendência natural. A cada ano que passa, o Flamengo usa mais a sua base. Não seria coerente não usá-los. Eles têm que merecer estar na condição e vai depender da condição deles. Se estiverem merecendo, vão ter (oportunidades). Precisamos proporcionar chances. São sete ou oito meninos, é difícil colocar todos. Mas vamos dar chances na medida do possível – disse.

RESERVAS AGRADECEM POR OPORTUNIDADES

O lateral-direito Rodinei mostrou-se agradecido a Zé Ricardo pelas chances no Campeonato Carioca. Ele lembrou que os reservas devem ter novas oportunidades em breve.

-O professor Zé Ricardo está de parabéns, deu oportunidades para todos os atletas. Agora é continuar trabalhando. As oportunidades sempre vão vir, vão ter muitos jogos ainda pela frente, com Libertadores, Brasileiro e Copa do Brasil. Temos que estar sempre preparados para dar conta do recado – disse o camisa 2 do Flamengo à TV Globo.

Cafu, que foi promovido ao profissional neste ano, é um dos menos badalados do elenco, mas está aproveitando as chances.

-As oportunidades estão aparecendo. O Zé está tentando dar o maior número de chance possível. Eu tenho treinado com os mais experientes e espero poder continuar tendo oportunidades – disse à TV Globo.

IOC XI bowled out cheaply by KSCA

Staff Reporter17-Aug-2002The first day of the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament saw the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) XI reach four for no loss after bowling out Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) XI for just 258.IOC started fairly well after winning the toss, putting on 79 runs for the first wicket before H Kinikar was run out. MR Beerala, his opening partner, went on to make a sedate 65 off 177 balls (10×4) before falling as the fifth wicket with the score on 146.A minor middle-order collapse was partially propped up by Beerala’s innings, but it was left to M Karanjkar (44), AP Dani (34) and RV Pawar (31) to add meat to IOC’s score lower down the order.For KSCA, NSC Aiyappa, Dharmichand and Vadeyraj picked up two wickets apiece. KSCA’s openers – KS Ponnappa and Barrington Rowland – played out an over before stumps, making four runs in the process.
