Speaking in a Q&A for football.london, reliable Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Alasdair Gold has made a promising claim involving Fabio Paratici and how his appointment can benefit for the club.

The Lowdown: Paratici arrives…

The Italian transfer guru has now been officially appointed as managing director of Tottenham and has a major say in overseeing all sporting operations at the club in terms – including facilities and football infrastructure (tottenhamhotspur.com).

Of course, the aspect of his role drawing most excitement is his reputation for facilitating big transfers in the market.

At former club Juventus, Paratici garnered a reputation for being an astute operator and played a key role in signing superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for the Turin club (The Daily Mail).

The Latest: Gold makes promising Paratici claim…

Speaking in a Q&A, when asked exactly what Paratici will bring to the table at Tottenham in terms of landing youngsters or immediate impact signings, Gold dropped a promising claim.

“His history at Juventus suggests both,” the reporter explained.

“He was very good at getting free transfers over his 11 years, although there has been the odd recent one that hasn’t hit the spot like Ramsey and Rabiot, while he has also spent the money when required on immediate impact players.

“One thing is clear and that is that he has a huge network of contacts and good relationships with clubs across the game and he’ll be able to help deliver what Tottenham require within the parameters the club’s finances dictate.”

The Verdict: Promising…

Gold’s behind the scenes claim on just how well connected Paratici is will come as music to the ears of some supporters.

Lilywhites chairman Daniel Levy also recently heralded the 48-year-old as a ‘tough negotiator’ and that is something Spurs will definitely need in this odd transfer landscape struck by the financial implications of Covid-19.

Spurs will need to operate astutely given their sell-to-buy transfer policy and Paratici may just be the man for a tough summer task ahead.

Dale awarded a Benefit in 2002

Andrew Hignell01-May-2001Glamorgan County Cricket Club have awarded a Benefit in 2002 to Adrian Dale, the county’s vice captain.Dale, 32, made his Glamorgan debut in 1989, was capped in 1992, and has since scored close to 10,000 first class runs for the Welsh county and taken nearly 200 wickets for the county, being a key member of the Club’s Championship-winning side in 1997. He has also played in over 250 one-day matches for Glamorgan, helping the team win the AXA Equity and Law League title in 1993 and to reach the Benson and Hedges Cup Final last June. He toured South Africa with England ‘A’ in 1993/94 and was appointed Glamorgan Vice Captain during last winter, leading the side in Steve James’s absence for the opening two games of this season.”It doesn’t seem too long ago that I was starting out at Glamorgan, but throughout my playing career I’ve been fortunate not only to have played with some fine cricketers and experienced some real highs with the team but to have made some great friends along the way. I know that Benefit years can be difficult for players but I have an excellent Benefit Chairman in HowardGadd and it’s a challenge I shall look forward to with some relish. I’ve been privileged to play for Glamorgan and I am absolutely delighted to have been awarded a Benefit. I’m very grateful indeed to the Committee for granting it to me.”Glamorgan Chairman Gerard Elias QC said: “Adrian Dale has been a cornerstone of the Glamorgan side in all forms of cricket since he made his debut twelve seasons ago and he has been one of our most reliable players throughout his career with us. Indeed, through the work he has undertaken in our marketing department these last two winters he has proved himself thoroughlycommitted to Glamorgan off the field as well, working hard to promote the Club in any way possible. Adrian thoroughly merits the award of a Benefit, which the Committee had no hesitation in granting. He’s been a fine cricketer for Glamorgan, enjoying a number of personal and team highlights, and we hope the public in Wales will take the opportunity to show their appreciation next year.”

تحدث جوسفالدو فيريرا المدير الفني لفريق الكرة الأول بنادي الزمالك عن مباراة بيراميدز، التي أقيمت مساء اليوم في خضم منافسات الجولة الثانية عشر من عمر الدوري المصري الممتاز.

وقال فيريرا في المؤتمر الصحفي للمباراة: “رأينا مباراة جيدة ضد فريق جيد، لم أواجه بيراميدز من قبل، نادي جديد، وملعب الدفاع الجوي جيد ولكن بدون جماهير”.

وأضاف: “الزمالك أدى مباراة جيدة ومتوازنه حتى الدقيقة 60، وكان هناك معاناة بسبب الإصابات، كما استطاع اللاعبون تنفيذ تعليماتي خلال الأسبوعين الماضيين”.

وتابع: “اضطررنا لإجراء تغيير في خطي الدفاع والهجوم، وخرجنا بنتيجة عادلة وهي الانتصار، أمام فريق قوي يمثل مصر في الكونفدرالية أهنأه على أدائه”.

واستكمل: “بدأنا المباراة بشكل جيد وفقدنا التوازن بعد ذلك واستطعنا العودة وتسجيل هدفي التعادل والمكسب، ودافعنا بطريقة جيدة ولعبنا على المرتدات، وبالطبع كانت هناك أخطاء التي لن تكون حاضرة في المستقبل”.

واستطرد: “مباراة اليوم كانت مهمة لأننا خلف بيراميدز في الدوري، والأهم من الفوز في المباراة هو عودة فريقنا إلى طبيعته واللعب المعروف به الزمالك مرة أخرى”.

وأكد: “هناك بعد الإخفاقات في التمرير، التي لن تكون موجودة في المستقبل، وسنجتهد الفترة المقبلة، وصلت في وقت قصير واستطعنا العمل مع اللاعبين المرهقين ذهنيًا وفنيًا ومتأثرين أيضًا بالظروف التي مر بها منتخب مصر”.

وعن إصابة محمود الونش: “تحدثت مع الونش عقب نهاية المباراة و قمت بتهنئته على أدائه أمام بيراميدز”.

موعد مباراة الزمالك القادمة أمام مصر المقاصة في الدوري

واستأنف: “في كرة القدم الأمور لا يتم حلها بالعصاة السحرية، ويوجد أمور تستغرق وقتا حتى يصل الفريق لمرحلة الكمال”.

وأتم: “نحن في مرحلة جديدة وبعد 3 أيام تنتظرنا مباراة أخرى، وهناك ضغط على اللاعبين، وأتعجب من ضغط المباريات بهذه الطريقة”.

واختتم: “بشأن أحمد سيد زيزو، تنتشر أخبار حول وجود أحاديث بين اللاعب والمدرب، وجميعها أخبار خاطئة وليست صحيحة” .

According to a report in the print edition of Mundo Deportivo, via Sport Witness, West Ham United and Southampton are ‘willing to pay’ for Barcelona defender Junior Firpo, with the La Liga giants seeking a sale.

The Lowdown: Barca in financial turmoil…

Financially, many big clubs across Europe have been devastated by the impact of the global pandemic and the loss of millions in matchday revenue. Barcelona are one of those clubs, with the Catalan side now seeking to offload players and recuperate some much-needed funds for the summer transfer market.

Their business has been predominantly in signing free agents so far, with Barca snapping up Sergio Aguero, Eric Garcia and Memphis Depay without dipping into their transfer budget.

Ahead of a long summer, they are said to want a suitor for out-of-favour defender Firpo.

The Latest: West Ham now ‘willing to pay’ for Firpo…

As per Mundo Deportivo, the Hammers and Southampton are ‘willing to pay’ for a permanent transfer of the 24-year-old as they are marked out as his preferred bidders.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-latest/” title=”West Ham latest!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Clubs from Italy are said to be more interested in a loan deal for the player, with only AC Milan from Serie A considering a permanent deal.

This makes Firpo’s suitors from the Premier League far more appealing to Barcelona in terms of negotiating a deal, with West Ham willing to sign him permanently and pay the desired transfer fee.

The Verdict: Not a priority…

We believe that West Ham’s main priorities for this summer should be a new striker, a new centre-back and a permanent deal for 2020/21 loan star Jesse Lingard. A potentially capable alternative to Arthur Masuaku in the attacking full-back role arguably isn’t as crucial as those three summer objectives.

Going by Firpo’s appearances over the last few seasons, it could also be unwise investing in his acquisition given a severe lack of game-time for the player over the past two years. Since joining Barcelona from Real Betis in the summer of 2019, he has gone on to start just 14 La Liga games in that time, unable to replicate his previous form from the Benito Villamarín Stadium.

If David Moyes decides to stump up the cash to bring Firpo to east London, it may well be a needless gamble.

O Atlético-MG não encerrou suas buscas no mercado de transferências. Por mais que Elias tenha sido o principal reforço do clube para a atual temporada, a comissão técnica considera outra contratação como um exemplo.

Danilo Barcelos, lateral esquerdo de ofício, tem sido improvisado no meio de campo. As boas atuações no setor fazem com que Roger Machado aponte o atleta como a principal busca da diretoria. O treinador, inclusive, o utiliza como exemplo para o próximo reforço do Galo:

“O que eu tenho conversado com o Maluf e com o presidente é a respeito desse jogador que a gente encontrou na questão do Danilo, esse jogador que tenha a capacidade de defender bem pelo lado do campo e tenha força para atacar também. Talvez, aí a gente ainda esteja atento ao mercado para ver o que a gente pode agregar de qualidade ao grupo”, comentou.

Em apenas duas partidas como titular do Atlético, Danilo fez boas atuações. Na estreia, o atleta marcou dois gols contra o Tombense, pelo Campeonato Mineiro. A sua segunda atuação, diante do Joinville, pela Primeira Liga, não contou com gols, mas o atleta improvisado no meio-campo arrancou elogios.

O bom momento do jogador com a camisa do Galo faz com que ele permaneça entre os titulares da equipe. Não é à toa que Roger Machado o elogia:

“O Danilo pelo lado me dá esse equilíbrio. Tomei um susto quando ele caiu com cãibra, pensei ‘não acredito que encontrei o equilíbrio com ele e ele vai se ausentar’. Mas foi só cãibra. Do meu quarteto de meio, o Otero me dá velocidade, é também um jogador de centro, o Cazares, quando pega de frente, consegue articular o jogo. O que preciso fomentar mais nele é o envolvimento no processo coletivo defensivo para retomar a bola”, concluiu.

انتقد مهاجم منتخب إيطاليا السابق، أنطونيو كاسانو، فريقه الأسبق ريال مدريد وطريقة أدائه تحت قيادة مواطنه، كارلو أنشيلوتي، في الآونة الأخيرة.

تأتي انتقادات كاسانو رغم تصدر ريال مدريد جدول بطولة الدوري الإسباني ووصوله إلى نصف نهائي بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا ومواجهة مانشستر سيتي.

وتحدث كاسانو عن مستوى ريال مدريد في تصريحات لتلفزيون “BoboTV” الإيطالي، وقال: “الفريق يؤدي بشكل سيء، كانوا محظوظين للغاية أمام باريس سان جيرمان وتشيلسي”.

وتابع: “في رأيي، عاجلًا أم أجلًا سينتهي ذلك!”.

وأضاف: “ريال مدريد لا يلعب جيدًا في الدوري الإسباني، إذا كنت تشاهد برشلونة الذي بدأ في المنافسة متأخرًا، سترى إبداعا فنيا آخر”.

وأتم تصريحاته: “ربما أنشيلوتي يجعلك تشعر بالرضا تجاه فريقه ولكن لا ترى أبدًا أي تطور في مستوى أي لاعب تحت قيادته”.

Wellington’s secondary school 1st XI cricketers and their coaches were treated to a special night out in Wellington tonight

Lynn McConnell20-Mar-2002Wellington’s secondary school 1st XI cricketers and their coaches were treated to a special night out in Wellington tonight.They were the guests of Cricket Wellington at a dinner to celebrate secondary school cricket, a first for the Capital and likely to be the forerunner of similar events in the future.The evening was hosted by Wellington College, the home of the national boys’ secondary school trophy, the Gillette Cup.Teams from 12 district 1st XIs were mixed up at various tables at the dinner and at the head of each table was a former New Zealand cricketer. Among those in attendance were former players: Jeremy Coney, who was one of the guest speakers, Ian Smith, Martin Crowe, Roger Twose, Andrew Jones, Ewen Chatfield, Evan Gray, Robert Vance, Bruce Morrison, John Morrison, Mark Greatbatch, Richard Petrie, Gavin Larsen, Ken Rutherford, Bruce Murray, Trevor McMahon, Martin Snedden, Ervin McSweeney, Grahame Bilby and Jonathon Millmow.The evening was organised by cricket historian and former national selector and president of New Zealand Cricket Don Neely.It also allowed him to present each player with a coaching journal he has been working on for three or four years. The publication is a coaching manual with a difference, it recognises the place of left-handers in the game by demonstrating every aspect of the game that has been traditionally the preserve of right-handers, by providing a mirror image for left-handers.The lack of coaching material for left-handers has long irked Neely and the journal, which will eventually be available to all schoolboy players in Wellington, and probably throughout the country if major associations cotton on to its worth.Former New Zealand manager, All Black, principal of Auckland Grammar and now Chancellor of Auckland University John Graham was the first guest speaker on the subject of developing lives through participation in sport.Graham used his time with the CLEAR Black Caps to round out his speech.He said it was vital for players in any sport to have belief in themselves and belief in their team. Belief wouldn’t necessarily guarantee winning but without belief or confidence you would not win in sport, or life.Graham said when he first joined the New Zealand team he felt they had an attitude that they “hoped” to win.One of the first things instilled in them was the belief that they could achieve anything when they walked in the company of those who believed in them.”That attitude gives you belief to get through the golden days as well as the tough days,” he said.Whatever people were involved in in life, they had to have a dream, a goal.When Gilbert Enoka was introduced into the side he developed the BTB formula – better than before. And that was something that could be applied to every aspect of the game, just as it could be in every aspect of life.For example, a statistical study had shown that if a team could bowl 30% of its overs as maidens it would win a Test match, and if they bowled 25% they still had a chance to win.”BTB became a very essential part of the team development. It stretched outside the team so they looked better, behaved better and dressed better,” he said.Another aspect of the team’s development was the hard work ethic. Graham said that when he first toured Australia he watched how much effort the best Australian players put into their game.New Zealand’s players became required to write down what they were trying to achieve at the nets. They were given hours of fielding practice by coach Steve Rixon.Discipline to both external needs and from within were demanded of players and there were some non-negotiable rules.The development of sacrifice, such as the first occasion the players had to prepare for a Boxing Day Test in New Zealand, when the players had to give up celebrating in the normal Kiwi fashion because they had a Test starting the next day was a classic example of this. The reward had been a Test victory over India, spearheaded by the Boxing Day seven wicket bag to Simon Doull.Loyalty was another aspect developed, to each other, to the game and to their supporters in New Zealand.”New Zealand cricket supporters are the most loyal in the world because of the way they get bashed around every year. They are immensely loyal,” Graham said.The final ingredient in the mix was the competitive edge where nothing other than excellence should be acceptable to players.”Respecting the laws and customs of the game is important. In sport it is called sportsmanship, in life it is called honesty, trustworthiness,” he said.And once those are all in place there was enjoyment.”It is about enjoying the daily challenges of playing sport at the top level, and enjoying living,” he said.More than any other sporting tour he had been on, his cricket journey showed him that for personal development as a sportsman players had to work at it daily, he said.Coney then spoke in his usual humorous manner about how cricket grabbed him like a virus that he has never been able to shake off.He pointed out that many young players had graced New Zealand teams immediately after leaving school, the earliest versions being Giff Vivian in 1931 and Martin Donnelly in 1937 and the most recent being Daniel Vettori in 1997.Coney also spoke about his weekly game of pulpit cricket on Sundays with a friend where the weekly sermon at their local church was the vehicle, depending upon however the minister gesticulated, for runs or dismissals. The visit by a Salvation Army speaker on the demons of drink had been enough to dismiss an entire international side so often was the finger of dismissal pointed at the congregation.But Coney told the players: “It is easy to be mediocre, just be as good as you can be. Find out what you like and if it’s cricket, grab it and go for it, it’s a beaut game.”

Eduardo Baptista mostrou-se compreensivo com as críticas que a torcida do Palmeiras fez durante a vitória por 2 a 0 sobre o São Bernardo, nesta quinta-feira, sobretudo a organizada, que até gritou o nome de Cuca. O treinador diz que se motiva com isso.

– Não é implicância (da torcida). Minha função é fazer o time ganhar, jogar. A torcida quer ver o time campeão jogando. Eu sei da responsabilidade, sei o peso de tudo isso, e não me incomoda, só me motiva para trabalhar. Se estou aqui hoje, é porque fui escolhido pelo campeão brasileiro. Os jogadores também foram escolhidos pelo campeão brasileiro – disse ele, que até deu razão para a irritação demonstrada pela arquibancada no primeiro tempo:

– Foram 25 mil pessoas, numa quinta-feira. Se eles não veem bom futebol, têm de reclamar, protestar, jogar o time para cima. A gente lida bem com isso. A mudança de postura da torcida vem de dentro do campo para fora. Não temos que nos preocupar em resolver com a torcida, tem de resolver no campo. Fizemos dois gols e a torcida veio junto. Os jogadores estão muito comprometidos em fazer a coisa certa, e em certos momentos até atrapalha um pouco. Quando todo mundo rema para o mesmo lado, a tendência é que esse barco ganhe velocidade.

Todos os jogadores saíram em defesa de Eduardo nas entrevistas pós-jogo, mas o gesto mais claro de apoio veio de Dudu, que não comemorou seu gol e correu para abraçá-lo. O que isso mostra, professor?

– Que você, além de respeitado, é querido. Dentro do vestiário, eu peço respeito, como respeito eles, mas a gente é amigo também, a gente divide vitórias e derrotas. Prova que estamos remando para o mesmo lado, e quando isso acontece as coisas tendem a ir bem.

Former Premier League midfielder Carlton Palmer has told The Transfer Tavern in an exclusive interview that he expects Paul Pogba to sign a new contract at Manchester United.

Pogba’s current deal is set to expire next year and he is currently being linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

However, according to The Sun, United are ready to make the France international the highest-paid player in England with a new £400,000-a-week contract.

And now Palmer is expecting him to remain at Old Trafford, believing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men will challenge for the title next season.

“I think he’ll stay at Manchester United,” the ex-Leeds United player exclusively told TT.

“They’re going to sign [Jadon] Sancho, they’re going to go big this summer and I think they’re going to be challenging next season. If they get the players in that they’re going for, I think they’re going to be challenging.

“And the one thing is, if you’re going to be challenging for the league title, you can’t be selling one of your best players, Pogba. You really can’t, so I expect to see Pogba renew his contract.”

Pogba has really shown his quality at Euro 2020, winning the Star of the Match award for his display in France’s 1-0 win against Germany.

If that match is anything to go by, United really should be looking to keep the midfielder around, which does seem to be their aim.

كشفت تقارير صحفية عن رغبة نادٍ تركي في ضم لاعب وسط الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي آرسنال ومنتخب مصر، محمد النني، في الميركاتو الصيفي المقبل للتدعيم في الموسم الجديد.

وينتهي عقد محمد النني مع آرسنال في 30 يونيو المقبل، ويحق للمصري الدولي الرحيل عن الجانرز في 1 يوليو مجانًا دون الرجوع إلى الإدارة الإنجليزية التي لم تفاتح اللاعب في التمديد والاستمرار.

وبحسب صحيفة “Takvim” التركية، يريد نادي فناربخشة من خلال رئيسه، على كوج، التعاقد مع صفقات قوية لتدعيم الفريق الأول لكرة القدم للمنافسة على البطولات في الموسم القادم.

محمد النني أحد أهم اللاعبين المطلوبين من فناربخشة، لكن هناك اسم آخر كبير قد يأتي من الدوري الإسباني حيث وجه النادي التركي أنظاره نحو مهاجم أتلتيكو مدريد الحالي وبرشلونة السابق، لويس سواريز.

يبلغ سواريز من العمر 35 عامًا الآن، سينتهي عقده مع أتلتيكو مدريد في نهاية الموسم الحالي، وطلب راتب سنوي من فناربخشة قدره 6 ملايين يورو للانتقال إلى صفوفه بالصيف.

سجل الأوروجوياني على مدار مسيرته الكروية 437 هدفا وصنع 240 آخرين مع منتخب بلده والأندية التي لعب لها مثل ناسيونال، خرونينخن، أياكس، ليفربول، برشلونة وأتلتيكو مدريد.
