Crystal Palace: Fans react to Man City appointments

Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to news ahead of the trip to Manchester City this weekend on Twitter.

The Premier League have officially confirmed that Andre Marriner will be the man in the middle for the meeting at the Etihad, while Lee Mason will be in charge of VAR.

Marriner has already taken charge of an Eagles encounter this season in the 1-1 draw with rivals Brighton. His first Palace game as a Premier League referee was actually City v Palace all the way back in 2005, with the hosts running out 3-1 winners.

Meanwhile, Mason, who took charge of the same fixture last season, is now retired as a ref but is still involved with officiating through the use of VAR.

He was the man who ruled out Christian Benteke’s header last weekend against Newcastle, with Marc Guehi adjudged to have fouled Ciaran Clark.

Tottenham keen on signing Vlahovic

Fabio Paratici and Tottenham are definitely interested in signing Fiorentina superstar Dusan Vlahovic, according to reports in Italy.

The Lowdown: Vlahovic lights up Serie A

The 21-year-old Serb is arguably one of Europe’s most exciting young attacking players currently, scoring 35 goals in 93 appearances for Fiorentina.

Vlahovic also has a hugely impressive record at international level, netting six times in his first 12 caps for Serbia.

He has been extensively linked with a move to north London for quite some time, and now another update has emerged from the country he plies his trade.

[freshpress-quiz id=“375258″]

The Latest: Spurs interested in move

According to Calciomercato [via Sport Witness], Spurs are indeed showing interest in the 6 foot 3 Vlahovic, but there’s a catch, with competition for his signature now fierce.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are also mentioned as potential suitors, while other big clubs are believed to be eyeing up a move for him, too, even though the €70million (£59m) asking price could put some off.

‘It is certain’ that the Lilywhites and ‘half of Europe’ are interested, says the report, but the ‘scary’ price tag is a major stumbling block.

The Verdict: Potential Kane replacement?

With Harry Kane’s Spurs future likely to become a talking point again in January or next summer, a long-term replacement could be needed for Nuno Espirito Santo.

At 21, Vlahovic certainly represents the future but he is already performing at an extremely high level in Serie A, proving that he could be an immediate success story in north London.

He has been described as ‘incredible’ by Serie A journalist Conor Clancy and could bring some fresh blood to a Spurs squad in need of it.

In other news, Nuno has confirmed an injury setback for one Spurs player. Find out who it is here.

لاعب تشيلسي السابق يحث الإدارة على التعاقد مع مهاجم برشلونة

حث لاعب فريق تشيلسي السابق، جوس بويت، إدارة النادي اللندني على التعاقد مع لاعب فريق برشلونة بيير إيميريك أوباميانج في موسم الانتقالات الصيفي الحالي.

وكان تشيلسي قد سمح برحيل كل من روميلو لوكاكو وتيمو فيرنر، إلى إنتر ميلان ولايبزيج على الترتيب، بينما تحوم الشكوك حول مستقبل الثنائي حكيم زياش وكالوم هودسون أودوي.

وذكرت تقارير صحفية في الأيام الماضية أن تشيلسي لديه رغبة في التعاقد مع أوباميانج من صفوف برشلونة، وهي الفكرة التي دعمها جوس بويت.

وقال بويت في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “إندبدنت” الإنجليزية عندما سُئل عما إذا كان التوقيع مع الجابوني سيكون خطوة جيدة: “بلا شك”.

وأضاف: “أوباميانج سيكون مثاليًا، يبدو سعيدًا وعاد إلى أفضل مستوى تهديفي له”.

وواصل: “لا أعرف لماذا يحاول تشيلسي وبرشلونة هذا الصيف باستمرار التوقيع مع نفس اللاعبين والسرقة من بعضهم البعض، إنهما ليسا أندية متشابهة، لكنهما يحاولان شراء نفس اللاعبين بالضبط”.

واستمر: “لا أستطيع أن أرى توقيع أوباميانج يحدث، لكنني سأكون سعيدًا ومندهشًا إذا حدث ذلك”.

واستكمل: “لا يزال تشيلسي بحاجة إلى تسوية وضع المهاجم الآن وقد رحل لوكاكو، رحيم ستيرلينج لن يكون مهاجمهم الصريح”.

وأكد: “من المنطقي أن يبحث تشيلسي عن قلب دفاع آخر، لكن 85 مليون جنيه إسترليني؟ من الصعب قول ذلك لأن السوق مجنون عندما تريد لاعبين معينين”.

واختتم: “لإنفاق هذا القدر الكبير من المال، يحتاج اللاعب إلى اللعب أسبوعًا تلو الآخر لمدة أربع أو خمس سنوات مقبلة مثل فيرجيل فان دايك”.

Dilshan heroics take Delhi home

Tournament favourites Delhi Daredevils turned in a thoroughly professional performance in the clash of the heavyweights at SuperSport Park, handing Deccan Chargers their first defeat of the tournament

Tournament favourites Delhi Daredevils turned in a thoroughly professional performance in the clash of the heavyweights at SuperSport Park, beating Deccan Chargers by six wickets. Tillakaratne Dilshan proved his worth yet again with an unbeaten fifty to steer his team to 149; he was supported by Dinesh Karthik, who finally delivered with the bat after a disappointing season last year. This was Deccan’s first defeat in the tournament and they now share points with Delhi at the top of the table, though with a better net run rate.Delhi controlled most of the game, save one passage of play in Deccan’s innings when Dwayne Smith got going. The 10-over break has often worked against the batting team in this tournament but the reverse happened here. Deccan looked out of sorts at 55 for 4 with the Delhi spinners bowling in tandem before Smith hit 48 off 28 balls. The bowlers hit back, though, to keep them to 148, and Sehwag would have settled for that having opted to field in good batting conditions.Deccan’s poor start pushed them on the backfoot and gave Delhi the momentum they needed. For once, the top order failed and the responsibility fell on those following to steer the team through. Adam Gilchrist and Herschelle Gibbs fell to poor shots against Dirk Nannes, who bowled with confidence, getting a lot of bounce and nip off the pitch.The spinners started off well, taking two wickets before the strategy time-out to stall a brief Deccan recovery led by Rohit Sharma. But Smith seemed determined to ruin their figures. He picked the usually miserly Daniel Vettori for three successive fours and pulled Mishra flat over deep square-leg, then lofted him over long-on for consecutive sixes.Curiously, another spinner, Tillakaratne Dilshan, was brought on to replace Vettori but there was no respite. Smith’s confidence rubbed off on debutant T Suman and Deccan scored 51 off three overs to reclaim the advantage.Smith regularly made room to hit the seamers with powerful bottom-hand shots but ultimately fell to an inside-out loft over the covers off Nehra. The total looked competitive but one got the feeling Deccan were around 20 runs short against Delhi’s strong batting.The chase began on a positive note. Sehwag, in need of runs, looked like turning the corner by slapping wide deliveries over point and elegantly flicking to the on side when the bowlers strayed. However, when RP Singh cramped him for a bit of room, he slashed hard and found Herschelle Gibbs at backward point and what looked like the beginning of an enterprising comeback innings turned into a cameo.The in-form AB de Villiers perished for 5 in front of his home crowd, trying to go over the top. Gautam Gambhir also looked fairly authoritative while at the crease, slicing two boundaries wide of point off Shoaib Ahmed, but gave it all way trying to paddle him around the corner in the same over. Whether he gloved the ball en route to the pad was uncertain but it was a risk not worth taking for a man looking to carry the chase and when he fell, the score was 49 for 3 and the game was wide open.Karthik and Dilshan played sensibly in the middle overs and settled on knocking the balls into the gaps knowing they weren’t chasing the tallest of targets. They looked comfortable against Pragyan Ojha and the backup bowling of Smith and Rohit Sharma couldn’t do much either. The momentum stayed with Delhi when pair tonked sixes off the slower bowlers over the on side. Karthik then whipped Edwards to bisect a narrow window between two fielders on the on side, an obvious sign of his confidence.Deccan were unable to get the breakthroughs and the pair offered no chances. The frustration showed on Fidel Edwards when he was unfairly penalised for bowling a bouncer. Gilchrist walked across to fan the flames and it got fairly heated when Dilshan clubbed a six off Edwards over deep square-leg and seemed to make an angry gesture towards the bowler. That six, though, had sealed the match and handed Deccan their first defeat of the season.

Man Utd linked to Alexander Isak

Manchester United have been linked with a move for Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to add further reinforcements to his forward line.

What’s the story?

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Red Devils are one of two Premier League clubs interested in securing the highly-rated 22-year-old’s signature, with local rivals Manchester City also listed as potential suitors.

Isak only put pen to paper on fresh terms at the Estadio Anoeta in July, but his new deal is believed to include a €90m (£76m) buyout clause, meaning an imminent exit could be on the cards.

Solskjaer would love him

After struggling to make an impact in a two-and-a-half-year spell at Borussia Dortmund, the youngster left the Signal Iduna Park in the summer of 2019 as he searched for regular game time to continue his development.

Isak scored just one goal in 13 frustrating appearances for BVB, failing to cement his place in the starting XI on a regular basis as a result, but has transformed his fortunes since arriving in Spanish football.

The 6 foot 2 attacker has gone from strength to strength during his time at Sociedad, bagging 17 goals and providing two assists in 34 La Liga appearances last season.

And his standout performances at club level saw him become a vital cog in Sweden’s national team setup over the summer as Janne Andersson’s charges reached the last-16 of Euro 2020.

Although Isak failed to find the back of the net during his four appearances at the European Championship, the versatile forward did provide two assists for his teammates and spearheaded the Scandinavian’s attack to great effect.

One impressed onlooker was Match of the Day host Gary Lineker, who hinted at the forward becoming the breakout star for the tournament following his eye-catching displays.

He tweeted: “Don’t think there’s much doubt that Alexander Isak will attract a lot of attention from clubs across Europe. Exceptional talent.”

Therefore, United’s football director John Murtough must swoop for the Sociedad ace before their domestic rivals do, providing Solskjaer with another talented striker who he’d surely love to have at his disposal.

De fora mais uma vez, Conca afirma estar em condições nas redes sociais

MatériaMais Notícias

Na próxima quarta-feira o Flamengo encara o Palestino na Ilha do Urubu e nem mesmo a boa vantagem conquistada no jogo de ida no Chile fez com que Darío Conca pudesse ser relacionado para esse compromisso pela Copa Sul-Americana. O camisa 19 foi visto deixando o CT e mais uma vez não entrará em campo pelo Rubro-Negro.

Na noite desta terça-feira, o jogador respondeu alguns torcedores no Twitter e afirmou que tem condição de atuar em uma partida oficial pelo Flamengo. Desde que chegou ao clube, o meia só jogou por 15 minutos em duas partidas, contra Ponte Preta e Fluminense.

Empréstimo do argentino com o Flamengo vai até o final do ano e na última semana o diretor de futebol Rodrigo Caetano garantiu que o jogador segue nos planos do time, mas questão física ainda deixa o atleta abaixo do restante dos companheiros.

Conca chegou no início desse ano com status de estrela, mas a verdade é que em campo o argentino não apresentou e não conseguiu ajudar o Flamengo. Em junho o camisa 19 já havia manifestado uma irritação por não estar atuando e nesta terça-feira afirmou que está em condições para jogar, só que mais uma vez vai ter que aguardar outra oportunidade.

Undercooked Rajasthan meet in-form Delhi

The Centurion leg of the IPL begins on Tuesday and the first match at Supersport Park features teams in different halves of the league

The Centurion leg of the IPL begins on Tuesday and the first match at Supersport Park features teams in different halves of the league. Delhi Daredevils won three out of three games and are currently in second spot, behind Deccan Chargers who won all of their four matches. Last year’s champions Rajasthan Royals are second from bottom with only one win – after a Super Over against Kolkata Knight Riders – from four games and will be underdogs against a formidable Delhi side.Delhi have almost no worries with any disciplines of their game. Their bowlers have struck form: Dirk Nannes proved a handful with the new ball with his skiddy pace while the spin duo of Daniel Vettori and Amit Mishra succeeded in stalling Bangalore Royal Challengers in the last game. Delhi’s strength is their powerful top-order and at least one batsman has come good in every game to ensure victory. A minor worry, though, is the form of Gautam Gambhir who is yet to make a contribution to Delhi’s campaign.Rajasthan’s two defeats so far have been because of batting collapses: they folded for 58 against Bangalore and 112 against Kings XI Punjab. They are missing Shane Watson’s contributions with the bat and Graeme Smith has been in poor form this season. They’ve had to rely on Yusuf Pathan for big hits and the lack of depth – Dimitri Mascarenhas and Ravindra Jadeja are a spot too high at Nos 5 and 6 – is hurting them.Form guideDelhi: Tillakaratne Dilshan and AB de Villiers have 117 and 126 runs respectively at strike-rates of over 150 from two innings. Gambhir, however, has only 31 runs from three matches. Vettori is their leading wicket-taker with six wickets and an economy-rate of just over seven while Mishra impressed with 1 for 19 in his only game.Rajasthan: That Shane Warne has the best batting average – 39.00 – among the Rajasthan batsman says a lot about how poor the rest have been. Smith has scored only 19 runs in three innings. Left-arm fast bowler Kamran Khan has been their best bowler with five wickets and an economy-rate of only 4.90.Watch out forTillakaratne Dilshan: The pre-tournament talk regarding Delhi’s batting revolved around their exciting new signing, David Warner, and a few people were surprised when Dilshan was selected ahead of the Australian in the XI. Dilshan, however, has played two vital innings which helped Delhi recover from losing their openers cheaply.Team newsDelhi have lost Manoj Tiwary to injury and replaced him with Mithun Manhas, who held his nerve during a tense finish against Bangalore. Mishra, who was also brought in for the last game, is likely to retain his place unless the conditions in Centurion are extremely seamer friendly.Delhi: 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 Virender Sehwag (capt), 3 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 4 AB de Villiers, 5 Mithun Manhas, 6 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 7 Daniel Vettori, 8 Dirk Nannes, 9 Pradeep Sangwan, 10 Amit Mishra, 11 Ashish Nehra.After the defeat against Punjab, Warne said that they would make changes to the top-order but it’s hard to predict what those changes will be. Tyron Henderson and Lee Carseldine are options but Rajasthan have few strong players on the bench to pick from.Rajasthan: 1 Graeme Smith, 2 Swapnil Asnodkar, 3 Rob Quiney/Tyron Henderson/Lee Carseldine, 4 Yusuf Pathan, 5 Dimitri Mascarenhas, 6 Ravindra Jedeja, 7 Shane Warne (capt), 8 Mahesh Rawat (wk), 9 Abhishek Raut, 10 Kamran Khan, 11 Munaf Patel.Head-to-head recordDelhi and Rajasthan played each other thrice last season. Delhi won the first encounter easily by nine wickets, but lost the next two. Rajasthan clinched a home victory by three wickets in the second league game before winning the semi-final by a whopping 105 runs in Mumbai.

بيليرين معروض على برشلونة ولابورتا ينتظر رد تشافي

عرض وكيل أعمال الدولي الإسباني، هيكتور بيليرين، الظهير الأيمن لنادي آرسنال، خدمات موكله على برشلونة، لينضم إلى النادي الكتالوني في نافذة الانتقالات الصيفية.

ويرغب بيليرين في إنهاء عقده مع آرسنال، ويتفاوض صاحب الـ27 عامًا على ذلك، مع تبقي 11 شهرًا على نهاية عقده مع النادي اللندني.

وحسب صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الكتالونية، فإن وكيل اللاعب عرضه على برشلونة، لكن النادي الكتالوني طلب بعض الوقت قبل الرد.

برشلونة يرغب في تعزيز مركز الظهير الأيمن، وحاول التعاقد مع سيزار أزبيليكويتا من تشيلسي، إلا أن الإسباني رفض النادي الكتالوني وفضل التجديد مع النادي اللندني.

وقالت الصحيفة إن برشلونة أخبر وكيل اللاعب أن النادي يركز الآن على قيد الصفقات الجديدة، كما أن الأمانة الفنية سوف تعرض الأمر على مدرب الفريق، تشافي هرنانديز، الذي طلب بالفعل التعاقد مع ظهير أيمن، لكن الكلمة الأخيرة ستكون له.

بيليرين كان قضى الموسم الماضي مع ريال بيتيس على سبيل الإعارة، ولكن صاحب الـ27 عامًا، لا يريد الاستمرار مع آرسنال.

بيليرين ظهر بشكل جيد في الموسم الماضي رفقة النادي الأندلسي، لكن ريال بيتيس يُعاني من مشاكل مالية أيضًا، ولم يسجل حتى الآن العديد من اللاعبين، بسبب قانون اللعب المالي النظيف.

يُذكر أن بيليرين سبق وارتبط بالانتقال إلى برشلونة، وخصوصًا في العام الماضي، إلا أن رونالد كومان المدير الفني السابق للنادي الكتالوني رفض انضمامه إلى كامب نو.
