Laxman: Kohli’s intensity and aggressive body language is infectious

India won the fourth Test by 157 runs at The Oval, taking a 2-1 series lead with one match to go. After the match, India captain Virat Kohli spoke to Michael Atherton, and saidOn this, and the second Test win at Lord’s, both being among India’s best-ever wins
The best thing about the both wins is the character that the side has shown. If you look at how the game panned: you mentioned the 100-run lead that England had in the first innings [England had a 99-run lead at The Oval] – to come back from there and the way we batted in the second innings showed that we are not down and out. And we are not looking to surivive in this game. If there’s an opportunity to put the opposition under pressure, we’ll go for it. And we put up a total on the board which was always going to be difficult to chase, especially heading latter half of Day 4 and 5.As I said at Lord’s as well, I’m really proud of the character the team has shown, specially this morning the way the team has bowled. It is definitely among top three bowling performances that I have witnessed as Indian captain.Related

Ravi Shastri, Bharat Arun and R Sridhar to miss fifth Test after positive Covid-19 results

On being confident about getting 10 wickets on a seemingly flat pitch
It’s quite relative what you call flat. The last two days, conditions were really hot so the field wasn’t that wet like the first three days. And we knew we were in with an opportunity with [Ravindra] Jadeja bowling from one end into the rough – the ball got scuffed up quite nicely and we managed to make one side heavier. And our guys, when the ball is reversing enough, they become much more lethal, and we exploited reverse swing perfectly today.We were actually looking forward to bowling with the old ball. And we looked at that as a positive rather than thinking: ‘Nothing’s happening from the pitch, what are we going to do here?’ Rather than that, we believed as a team, yes, we could get all 10 wickets today.That’s exactly why it happened today, because the boys had belief.On Bumrah’s six-over spell post lunch
Absolutely unbelievable spell. If you give 27 runs off 22 overs on this kind of pitch, that’s a huge effort in the last innings of the Test match. As you said the pitch hadn’t offered enough, but as soon as the ball started reversing a bit, Jasprit just said: “Just give me the ball.” And he bowled that six-over spell and got us two breakthroughs which completely shifted the momentum to our side. From there on, we knew anymore mistakes from England and we will be all over this game.On Shardul Thakur’s influence
Rohit’s innings was outstanding – playing against a 100-run lead as an opener and the conditions were overcast, and his knock was the difference in the second innings. But the impact performance we were looking from a lower middle-order point of view, what Shardul has done in this game has to be remembered for a long time. Even in first innings he stood up: his 50 was the actually the difference between a 150-160 lead and a 100-run lead. And his 60 in the second innings as well, a counter-attacking one, I felt like it deflated the opposition. When I got out in the morning (on Day 4), they were looking at a few more breakthroughs and probably to try to restrict us to a reasonable total, but the way he batted again in the second innings was outstanding.On Shastri, Arun, Sridhar absent
It is unfortunate they are not here, but they did call the team just now – everyone is really happy with the win. Also we get ahead in the series with one Test match to play. It’s absolutely a great momentum booster because we’ve been here for a long time and now this gives us even more motivation to go out there and try and win the next one as well. We have everything that we need to win: we have the belief, we have the team. Eventhough we rested couple of our bowlers we still stood up and guys did the job with ball and bat in hand and in the field as well.

+ Botafogo se reapresentou! Veja quais jogadores estão à disposição para o começo da pré-temporada

O atacante volta ao clube após passar um ano e meio emprestado ao Grêmio. No Imortal foram 51 jogos e três gols marcados. O jogador está nos planos de Enderson Moreira para o começo de temporada e deve integrar o elenco que jogará o Campeonato Carioca.

Já o goleiro recentemente renovou o contrato por mais um ano. Sem atuar com a camisa alvinegra desde setembro de 2020, o paraguaio deve matar a saudade dos gramados em 2022. O camisa 1 foi relacionado para a última partida do Alvinegro na Série B do Brasileirão no ano passado e, em forma, deve ter tempo de jogo no Estadual.

A apresentação dos jogadores está sendo dividida. Uma parte chegou ao Estádio Nilton Santos na segunda-feira, enquanto outros foram realizar exames apenas nesta terça-feira. A tendência é que todo o plantel tenha passado por essa parte clínica até o final da semana.

That night in Dortmund stands as a blot on the copybook, yet Scottish champions Celtic have looked rather imperious otherwise in the early knockings of the new season, having made a faultless start to the defence of their league crown.

Seven wins from seven have been secured in the Scottish Premiership thus far, with new number one Kasper Schmeichel having conceded just once in the competition in that time, as Ronan Hale fired home from the penalty spot in Dingwall last time out. Even that required a second attempt from the Irishman.

Schmeichel, it must be said, is more than proving his worth following his free transfer arrival from Anderlecht over the summer, with the 37-year-old having comfortably taken over the mantle from fellow veteran, Joe Hart, in the sticks.

That bargain capture of the experienced Dane came amid what was, in the end, an impressive window for the Old Firm side, with Brendan Rodgers and co already reaping the rewards of their summer business.

Celtic's new stars are shining

Ahead of Schmeichel, it does appear too early to judge new man Auston Trusty, with the left-footer having been forced to slot into an unorthodox, right centre-back berth amid Cameron Carter-Vickers’ absence, although another new defender – Alex Valle – has already caught the eye following his notable, back-heeled assist against St Johnstone.

At the top end of the pitch, £9.5m man Adam Idah has made an encouraging start to life back at Parkhead with four goals in ten games thus far, taking his total tally for the club to 13 goals and two assists in just 28 games across all fronts.

The ex-Norwich City man was not the only former loanee to sign permanently, as Paulo Bernardo – who already has two goals this season – joined from Benfica, while the midfield ranks were strengthened even further with the £1m addition of Dundee’s Luke McCowan.

McCowan has slotted in smoothly having got off the mark in the 2-0 win over Hearts back in September, a game that also saw fellow new arrival – and club-record signing – Arne Engels get up and running in a Hoops shirt.

It is, of course, still early days, yet Celtic’s £11m signing doesn’t appear to have been weighed down too heavily by that hefty price tag, nor by the pressure to try and fill Matt O’Riley’s shoes in Glasgow.

In just seven appearances in green and white, the promising Belgian has already chalked up three goals and two assists from his creative midfield berth, having previously contributed 12 goal involvements in 53 outings for former club Augsburg.

Not that it’s all been plain-sailing – with Engels hooked on the hour mark against Ross County last week – but it does look as if Rodgers is on to a winner with this marquee signing already.

That point is only heightened by the fact that, remarkably, the 21-year-old – whom teammate Callum McGregor dubbed a “powerhouse” – may already be worth more than what the club paid for him just a matter of months ago.

That’s according to CIES Football Observatory, who deem the playmaker to be worth as much as €20m (£18m), representing an increase of £7m in relation to his £11m transfer fee.

Not that Celtic will be looking to cash in any time soon, but it does bode well for the potential profit that could be made in the future, with the Old Firm outfit having raked in £25m apiece for Jota and O’Riley across the last two summer windows.

The question now is whether young Engels can mirror that pair and cement himself as something of a talisman at Celtic Park. Only time will tell.

Newcastle United certainly endured some dark days under the ownership of Mike Ashley, with the Magpies even dropping into the Championship on various occasions during his reign.

The 60-year-old often came under fire for his lack of investment into the playing squad at St James’ Park, which arguably resulted in their relegation to England’s second tier back in the 2015/16 Premier League season.

Whilst they secured an immediate return under Rafa Benitez, Ashley was still a target for the supporters, often venting their frustrations with numerous protests about his ownership on Tyneside.

He would eventually sell the club in October 2021, ending his 14-year spell at the helm of the Magpies, with the Saudi PIF completing a deal to acquire the club.

However, one of his final transfer windows as owner would see him stick to his transfer strategy – often targeting cheaper alternatives – another move that upset supporters.

Newcastle’s transfer window in the summer of 2020

During the summer of 2020, Newcastle would make five new signings, three of which were free transfers, costing Ashley absolutely nothing apart from their wages.

Jeff Hendrick, Ryan Fraser and Mark Gillespie all moved to Tyneside during the aforementioned window, looking to build on the 13th-placed league finish from the season prior.

The trio were joined by Callum Wilson and Jamal Lewis, the pair costing Magpies boss Steve Bruce around £20m and £15m from Bournemouth and Norwich City, respectively.

Both were seen as impressive additions, which would provide needed quality in two areas that have been a problem for various managers over the years.

However, whilst the deal for Wilson was a roaring success, with the Englishman scoring 48 times in 108 appearances since his move, the big-money signing of Lewis was a failure, to say the least.

The Northern Ireland international has only made 36 appearances for Newcastle since his move over four years ago, with his last game coming at the start of the 2022/23 campaign.

He’s since been on loan at Championship side Watford, before making a surprising move to join Brazilian side São Paulo on a temporary basis until June 2025 – the same month his deal expires at St James’ Park.

Jamal Lewis’ market value in 2024

As a result of his lack of impact on Tyneside since his move four years ago, the left-back has seen his market value plummet, with his transfer looking a huge waste of money as the months pass by.

His £15m transfer fee was expensive enough, especially considering it came during the Ashley era, but given his lowly appearance tally, he’s cost the club £416k every time he’s played a game for them.

Undoubtedly, given his lack of first-team action in the North East, the hierarchy would’ve wanted to move him on permanently during the recent summer window, but his move to Brazil still allows him to gain valuable game time.

It hasn’t appeared to have had a positive impact on his market value as of yet, with Lewis now only valued at £1m as per Football Transfers – a drop of £3.5m for each season he’s spent contracted to Newcastle.

With his contract set to expire in less than 12 months, it’s almost certain that the 26-year-old will finally be departing Tyneside as a free agent – allowing him to resurrect his once-promising career.

However, unfortunately, his move hasn’t worked out as either party would’ve anticipated, leaving many with regret over spending such a hefty sum on a player who simply hasn’t lived up to expectations.
