Vettori will want more of the same from Wednesday night: precise bowling, quick fielding and sensible batting

The second leg of the New Zealand summer has got off to a fiery start and raised expectations all round effective Friday, when the two teams meet again. The Indian superstars, the world Twenty20 champions, will be under pressure to put up a performance worth that status. The New Zealand bowlers will be under pressure to give the home side a more ‘precise’ start, as Daniel Vettori put it.In either case, there’s little time to relish a win or pick up the pieces after a loss. Even before the match presentations had ended last night, the groundsmen had started taking out the portable pitch – there’s a rugby game scheduled at the AMI Stadium on Friday. The day after a late game there wasn’t enough time for the teams to travel to the Westpac Stadium here and check the conditions. New Zealand practised at the Basin Reserve, Wellington’s Test ground, soon after landing, and India gave training a miss.And all this for three hours’ cricket. Twenty20 games can be a bit like a Christchurch-Wellington flight – more time goes in reaching the airport, checking in, and waiting for the aircraft, than the actual 30-minute flight. For India it will be more of a mental check-in before they go in to try and save the series. The first question will be, do they play an extra specialist bowler? The ease with which Irfan Pathan was taken for runs on Wednesday could outweigh his value as a batsman.Mahendra Singh Dhoni wasn’t too displeased, though, with the XI India fielded in the first game. “With an extra seamer the batting order is not as long and as deep as you would prefer in a Twenty20 game,” Dhoni said. “I was quite happy with the kind of combination that we played.” It will be interesting if Dhoni goes in with one of the potent pair of Munaf Patel or Praveen Kumar.And India don’t see the first loss as a big setback. “Setback? For the first game? It’s not a setback,” Yuvraj Singh said. “It’s the first game of the series. We’ve got five one-dayers, three Test matches, another Twenty20, it’s a long tour, so we’re all geared up for it.” Dhoni also said that, batting errors notwithstanding, his side learnt very quickly. “One thing for sure is we have learnt a lot from our mistakes. If we don’t commit these mistakes again we have a very good chance.”Vettori, though, will want more of the same from Wednesday night: precise bowling, quick fielding and sensible batting. And Vettori himself will be the key bowler. Among bowlers who have played more than eight Twenty20 internationals, Vettori is behind only Umar Gul in terms of economy rate. And though the format is still young, those two have been the best bowlers in Twenty20 internationals. It is a testimony to his skill that he did well at the ridiculously small AMI Stadium.”I think Harbhajan [Singh] and myself bowled pretty well,” Vettori said. “Sometimes you have to flatten out a little bit because you know a mis-hit can go for a six. We go to Wellington next, where the boundaries are a bit bigger and we can bring more out of our repertoire.”Vettori will want something else too – killer instinct. And not a repeat of what happened in Australia, when they waited for mistakes from the opposition. “We’ve had a lot of drawn series here in the last couple of months,” Andy Moles, their coach, said. “We are about winning, and it is about trying to become a winning side. Obviously we need to move forward and do that.”Apart from the expectations from the teams, the whole game will have to live up to a challenge. If Friday’s game can match in closeness the pyrotechnics of the first T20, we are off to a great start to the tour.Teams

A number of Liverpool supporters have reacted to Kylian Mbappe’s comments about his future, talking up the Reds’ chances of signing him.

Despite being linked with a number of attacking players in the summer transfer window, Jurgen Klopp ended up not bringing in a new signing to boost the forward ranks.

Ibrahima Konate was the only addition to the squad, leading to frustration from some Liverpool fans.

[freshpress-quiz id=“375258″]

One player who the Reds were tipped to sign was Mbappe, whose Paris Saint-Germain future was up in the air, only for him to end up staying put.

The France international has now come out and openly admitted that he asked to leave the club [via journalist Fabrizio Romano on Twitter], however, throwing his future into doubt once more.

Neste sábado, o Flamengo tem mais um jogo na Ilha do Urubu pelo Campeonato Brasileiro e o Rubro-Negro conta com o fator casa para quebrar um jejum de três jogos sem vitória pela competição nacional. Contra o Coritiba, o time comandado por Zé Ricardo tem mais uma vez nos pés de Guerrero a esperança de gols para conseguir os três pontos.

Paolo Guerrero está vivendo em 2017 o seu melhor ano em número de gols marcados. Até o momento, o peruano já marcou 18 vezes e igualou as suas melhores temporadas. Ano passado pelo Rubro-Negro e também em 2013 atuando com a camisa do Corinthians, o atacante também balançou as redes em 18 oportunidades.

O aproveitamento do Guerrero na temporada é bom e na Ilha do Urubu os números do atacante são ainda mais surpreendentes. Em cinco participações com a camisa do Flamengo no novo estádio, o atacante de 33 anos marcou cinco gols e distribuiu quatro assistências para os seus companheiros balançarem as redes.

A Ilha do Urubu foi palco também do primeiro hat-trick de Paolo Guerrero com a camisa do Flamengo. Na carreira, o peruano já realizou o feito cinco vezes. Feito aconteceu contra a Chapecoense, na segunda partida do time na nova casa. Além de fazer três gols, o camisa 9 deu uma assistência para Diego.

Contra o Coritiba, o Flamengo não irá contar com o meia Diego, que foi poupado por Zé Ricardo por conta de um desgaste muscular. Sem o 35, Guerrero assume mais uma vez o protagonismo e é a principal esperança dos Rubro-Negros para voltarem a vencer no Campeonato Brasileiro.

Confira os números de Guerrero na Ilha do Urubu

Flamengo 5 x 1 Chapecoense: Três gols e uma assistência.

Flamengo 2 x 0 Santos: Duas assistências

Flamengo 2 x 0 São Paulo: Um gol.

Flamengo 0 x 1 Grêmio: –

Flamengo 2 x 2 Palmeiras: Gol e uma assistência.

Even the bookies cannot split the teams. In a repeat of the 1993 final at Lord’s, England will face New Zealand at North Sydney Oval on Sunday in a match holding much promise

The Preview Jenny Roesler in Sydney21-Mar-2009

Even the bookies cannot split the teams. In a repeat of the 1993 final at Lord’s, England will face New Zealand at North Sydney Oval on Sunday in a match holding much promise. England were victorious in the original match-up, with their second title, but New Zealand have since etched their names on the trophy with a win in 2000.Neither side have won the World Cup away from home – but one of them is now guaranteed to do so here in Australia. And, if they both play to their potential, this could be the most exciting final yet and, naturally, a great advertisement for the game when the world is watching.The tournament’s most dominant teams, the sides each lost one match en route to the final, with England triumphing in the head-to-head. Having looked utterly unstoppable, however, England then came up against a fierce Australia, baying for any blood after being shut out in the cold.England had already qualified, but it was the end of their 17-win streak, and there was a worrying batting collapse to boot. Still, their captain Charlotte Edwards has brushed off such concerns as “hopefully a minor blip.” Speaking at the press conference at the SCG on Saturday, she said: “We’re all really looking forward to it. We’re all ready.”New Zealand, meanwhile, started their campaign with some batting wobbles, but have stabilised in recent matches. They are easily capable of taking the title, which would be a second for Haidee Tiffen, the only survivor from the successful home campaign of 2000, who draws comparison with her current side. “Whilst the teams are different, certainly the passion, dedication, commitment and pride for our country is evident in both teams,” Tiffen said. “The one thing I will be telling the girls is to enjoy it.”This tournament has thrown up surprises and challenges, though, and so it is impossible to say which of these tight-knit units has the advantage. Both sides have strong batting line-ups, and they field and bowl well – and both are up for the cup.Tiffen said it was about self belief. “It’s about sticking to your role within the team. England have got three or four top-class batsmen that are really in good form at the moment. We need to take our opportunities and try to get them out early. It’s about being consistent in all areas of the game.”We need to stick to our gameplans and we’re a team that bats right down and we need to make sure that we’re using our resources wisely and giving ourselves the best opportunity to win the match. We’ve got attacking batters that can put the ball in all areas of the ground and we’d be stupid not to use that.”Gary Stead, the New Zealand coach, said his side would “go hard” at England. “We are going to try to smash them off the ground early in the game,” he had already promised – or threatened, depending on whose side you’re on.For her part, Edwards was guarded. “Tomorrow’s game is about who deals with the pressure the best out of the two teams and whose key performers perform,” she said. “There are two good teams who are very evenly matched and who’s going to play the best cricket on the day is going to win the game.”The world’s No. 1 batsman Claire Taylor has impressed all who have seen her and has continued her exciting form in this tournament, too. New Zealand will certainly look to target her, Sarah Taylor and Edwards. With the ball, fast bowlers Katherine Brunt and Isa Guha, the world’s No 1 bowler, are of note along with spinner Holly Colvin. Jenny Gunn is their star allrounder.Tiffen is the form batsman for New Zealand. Averaging a fraction under 50 in the tournament and struck a timely maiden ODI hundred in the final group game against Pakistan. But for sheer excitement, look no further than Suzie Bates, who her own captain describes as “a freak”.If ever this is England’s time to win their third World Cup, it’s now. They have won the last 17 of 18 matches on the spin. Their well-honed and hungry team is that classic cocktail named Youth and Experience, mixed to perfection with a generous dash of confidence. They aim to stir, not be shaken – and to be the first England side, men or women, to put their country’s name on an ICC trophy.Then again, it’s also New Zealand’s time. They have a similar make-up to England and had one of their best chances to wrest back the Rose Bowl prior to tour, continuing the good run into the trophy. They play their best when aggressive which can mean higher risks but when it comes off, it does in style, as with Suzie Bates’ breathtaking 168 in their final Super Six match against Pakistan.These warrior-like cricketers will be keen for a successful hunt with prime spoils up for grabs but a buoyant England are just as capable of going in for the kill.

وأتم: “كان اختبارًا جيدًا لبدء الموسم، لعبنا جيدًا ولعبنا بمستوى جيد لكننا بحاجة لمواصلة العمل لتحقيق النتائج”. 

Would they play they play or wouldn’t they? Until the eve of the fifth and final ODI in St Lucia, no-one could say for sure

Match factsFriday April 3
Start time 9.30am (13.30GMT)Big pictureWould they play they play or wouldn’t they? Until the eve of the fifth and final ODI in St Lucia, no-one could say for sure. The West Indies Cricket Board had been locked in crisis talks with the Players’ Association, with the threat looming, not only of a boycott of Friday’s fixture, but – going forward – a mass withdrawal from the tour of England which commences later this month, and clashes head-on with the lucrative Indian Premier League.The crisis was ultimately averted, but with so much up in the air for so long, it’s hard to imagine how the players have managed to focus on what is suddenly a must-win match. West Indies may have outscored England by 23 sixes to three, but thanks to a misreading of the Duckworth-Lewis charts in Guyana and a tour de force in another rain-affected contest from Andrew Strauss, England somehow made up for their serious shortcomings in games two and three to move into a position to strike (in the non-industrial sense).Form guide (most recent first)West Indies LWWLL
England WLLWLWatch out for …Leading into this series, Andrew Strauss had an unflattering reputation as an ODI batsman. He had not played in England’s limited-overs set-up for two years because of doubts about his big-hitting abilities, but two spectacular efforts in this series – one stand-alone century in defeat in Guyana and a brilliant 79 not out from 61 balls to square the series in Barbados – have cemented his role, in the short-term at least. The simple fact is that he is in the form of his life, coming off the back of three hundreds in the Test series last month.All eyes have been on Chris Gayle this week, first for his spectacular six-hitting exploits in Barbados – 13 in two games, including eight in an 43-ball 80 last Friday – then for his lead role in the threatened strike. He now says he is satisfied with the situation and will play, but will his eye be sufficiently on the ball to wallop England all over Gros Islet?Team newsThere could have been 11 team changes, but now it’s done to one. Nikita Miller hurt his back while trying to smash a free hit out of the ground last week, so he is out, with his fellow spinner, Sulieman Benn, restored to the squad. His omission was something of a surprise to England, given his starring role in the Jamaica Test victory, as well as two Twenty20 triumphs, starting with the Stanford Superstars in Antigua last year.West Indies (possible) 1 Chris Gayle (capt), 2 Lendl Simmons, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Dwayne Bravo, 7 Darren Sammy, 8 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 9 Lionel Baker, 10 Sulieman Benn, 11 Fidel Edwards.As for England, there are no obvious alterations to be made. Their seamers did a fine job to restrict West Indies to an attainable 239 for 9 in the last match, although there could yet be a temptation to re-introduce the spinner Gareth Batty – possibly at the expense of Steve Harmison, whose winter’s Hokey-Cokey (in all internationals since November) currently reads: “In, in, out, out, in, in, out, in, out, out, in, out, out, in, in, out, in.”England (possible) 1 Ravi Bopara, 2 Andrew Strauss (capt), 3 Kevin Pietersen, 4 Owais Shah, 5 Paul Collingwood, 6 Andrew Flintoff, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Dimitri Mascarenhas, 9 Stuart Broad, 10 Steve Harmison, 11 James Anderson.Stats & TriviaAside from a victory over Zimbabwe in 2002, West Indies have not won a single ODI at Beausejour since 2004, when they beat none other than England in back-to-back fixtures The highest score ever made in an ODI in St Lucia is 363 for 5, by New Zealand against Canada at the 2007 World CupQuotes”We’re totally focused … even though a lot of things have been happening off the field. We’re here to play cricket. Hopefully we can finish off on a high.”
Chris Gayle looks forward to putting the power struggles behind him

O Vasco volta a entrar em campo nesta quinta-feira, às 20h, contra o Cruzeiro, pela 18ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Na partida, o Cruz-Maltino terá mais uma chance de conquistar a sua primeira vitória este ano no Raulino de Oliveira, em Volta Redonda, que está servindo como sua casa enquanto São Januário está proibido de receber jogos, e assim fazer do estádio na ‘Cidade do Aço’ o seu novo ‘Caldeirão’.

Nesta temporada, o Vasco jogou três vezes no Raulino de Oliveira, contra o Volta Redonda e Flamengo, pelo Carioca, e Atlético-PR, pelo Brasileirão. Em todas o time acabou derrotado por 1 a 0. Um dos mais experientes do elenco, com 33 anos, Rafael Marques admite que atuar na ‘casa provisória’ é diferente e que São Januário é um trunfo para a equipe. No entanto, ele diz que o time precisa superar isso e vencer.

– São Januário sempre foi o nosso caldeirão, nosso estádio onde a gente convive todos os dias, treina, sente o ambiente, que é bom. Eu vejo mais na situação dos adversários. Quando eles chegam em São Januário sentem que ali é diferente, que nossa equipe é forte jogando em casa, que a gente conhece bem, tem o apoio do nosso torcedor que vai e enche o estádio. O Raulino tem um campo bem diferente de São Januário, mas uma equipe como a nossa tem que saber levar essa situação de jogar aqui, tirar o máximo de proveito para conseguir o máximo de pontos – comentou o defensor.

No primeiro contra o time paranaense, a torcida vascaína fez a sua parte, compareceu em bom número mesmo em uma partida de segunda-feira à noite e incentivou a equipe, que acabou perdendo por 1 a 0. Para Rafael Marques, o que pode manter esse clima e tonar o Raulino de Oliveiro um novo caldeirão para o Vasco são as vitórias.

– A torcida compareceu na segunda-feira, apoiou. Ela sem dúvida nenhuma fez a sua parte. Nós conseguimos fazer um bom jogo, tomamos o gol, mas fomos superiores. O que pode fazer o Raulino um diferencial para a gente são os resultados. Quando mais jogos nós vencermos aqui, a tendência é que o público aumente, a confiança cresça e a gente consiga fazer um segundo São Januário aqui – disse o zagueiro.

Tottenham Hotspur are expecting to have their South American contingent available for this weekend’s Premier League return…

What’s the latest?

That’s according to Telegraph reporters Chris Bascombe and Mike McGrath, who delivered a fresh update on the state of play as the international break draws to a close later this week.

Argentina duo Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian Romero, Brazil right-back Emerson Royal and Colombia centre-back Davinson Sanchez were not given early releases from their respective national teams and will be playing on Thursday night and into the early hours of Friday.

But they will fly directly back to north London, via private jet, to their Hotspur Way training base in time for Sunday’s clash at Newcastle United. They are expected to sleep and be assessed there.

Massive boost

This will come as a massive boost to Nuno Santo and Spurs as it means he may well have four of his first-team stars available for quite an intriguing encounter – it’s the first game since the Magpies were taken over by a Saudi-backed consortium, so the home crowd could be out in full force at St James’ Park.

The Lilywhites ended a run of three heavy straight defeats with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa right before the break and they will be looking to build on that this weekend.

Three of the four South American players featured at some point in the match, so if the Portuguese head coach wants to stick with a winning lineup, then he’s able to do that following this update.

Romero has started two of Spurs’ last three matches, Sanchez has started four times, Emerson has started three of his four appearances in the Premier League so far this season.

Evidently, either of the three could be in line to start up in the northeast, should they be fit.

This would be a huge source of encouragement for Nuno, who could well still be under pressure as one win doesn’t detract from their recent run of poor results, in which they were embarrassed in the north London derby.

AND in other news, Spurs could be dealt hammer blow as worrying transfer report emerges…

أدلى مايكل أرتيتا المدير الفني لفريق آرسنال بتصريحات عقب فوزهم في بداية مشوار بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وفاز آرسنال، مساء الجمعة، على كريستال بالاس بهدفين دون رد على ملعب “سيلهرست بارك” في افتتاحية موسم الدوري الإنجليزي 2022/23. أهداف مباراة آرسنال وكريستال بالاس

وقال أرتيتا في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية: “أهم شيء هو الفوز بالمباراة الأولى، لبناء الثقة والزخم، وبعد ذلك يمكنك التحدث عن الأشياء التي نحتاج إلى تحسينها، كان هناك عدد قليل اليوم من تلك الأمور، لأكون صادقًا”.

وأضاف: “صليبا كان رائعًا الليلة، الطريقة التي بدأنا بها المباراة ولعبنا في أول نصف ساعة كانت رائعة، كان يجب أن نسجل المزيد”.

وواصل: “كان علينا أن نلعب المباراة بطرق لم نكن نريدها كما استمر لأن بالاس قادر على فعل ذلك لك، للفوز هنا عليك أن تعاني، لقد فعلنا ذلك وهذا جزء من العقلية التي نريد أن نبنيها، للمجيء إلى أماكن مثل هذه والفوز”.

وأردف: “أنت بحاجة إلى التوازن الصحيح لأنك إذا تعرضت للتقصير من ناحية اللياقة البدنية في هذه اللعبة، فستتعرض للخطر، إن وجود لاعبين في الجزء الخلفي بالحجم المناسب أمر مهم حقًا في هذه أنواع المباريات”.

وأوضح: “هذه هي المرونة التي نحتاجها للفوز بمباريات كرة القدم ومتابعتها، لقد أدى آرون رامسدال أداءً جيدًا بشكل لا يصدق على الناحية الفردية، وفاز بالمباراة من أجلنا”.

وبشأن التعاقدات الجديدة المحتملة، قال الإسباني: “سنحاول، لدينا بعض الأشياء التي تجري الآن وإذا حصلنا عليها فسيكون ذلك رائعًا، ولكن في الوقت الحالي علينا العمل مع اللاعبين الذين لدينا”.

وأثنى أرتيتا على الوافد الجديد جابرييل جيسوس، حيث قال: “يمتلك عامل الخوف، هو دائمًا متواجدًا معك، لا يقف ساكنًا أبدًا، دائمًا يتحرك وحاد للغاية، لديه الحدس من أجل تقديم الكرة لك، لذلك هو لاعب صعب على المدافعين”.
