da supremo： Tottenham Hotspur’s recent run of bad form was extended in Glasgow last night.

da esoccer bet： Ange Postecoglou returned to the city where he made his name in British football, but instead of facing his old club, Celtic, an intense Europa League clash with Rangers awaited him and his side.

The hosts looked the far better of the two teams, and while Dejan Kulusevski managed to salvage a point for the North Londoners, it was another display that has only cast more doubt on the Australian’s project.

There were poor performances all over the pitch for the visitors, but there were two that perhaps stood out, with one of them being Timo Werer.

Timo Werner's game vs Rangers

It would probably be fair to say that even going back to when he first arrived at the club midway through last season, Werner has been an underwhelming, boarding-on poor addition to Spurs’ squad, and last night showed that yet again.

The former Chelsea flop started off the left, and aside from a shot he sent miles over the bar early on, he offered pretty much no attacking threat whatsoever, which made life incredibly easy for Rangers’ right-hand side.

Moreover, the RB Leipzig-loanee seemed unable to track back either, so Destiny Udogie was left to deal with the marauding Václav Černý and James Tavernier all alone at times.

It was such a dire display that Postecoglou hooked him at half-time and told the press his performance “wasn’t acceptable” in his post-match comments, which makes the 3/10 match rating he received from the Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick look almost too kind.

While this all could sound hyperbolic, it’s entirely backed up by his statistics, as in 46 minutes of action, the Stuttgart-born dud amassed a combined expected goal plus assists figure of 0.09, failed to take a single shot on target, failed in 100% of his crosses and dribbles, lost 100% of his duels, lost the ball 18 times was unable to play a single key pass and only completed 69% of his passes.

In all, it was an abysmal showing from the 28-year-old, although one of his teammates was arguably as poor on the other flank.

Pedro Porro's game vs Rangers

Yes, the player we are talking about is Spanish right-back Pedro Porro, who put in yet another dreadful performance for Spurs last night.

Like his German teammate, the former Sporting CP ace was utterly hopeless going forward, with the only meaningful contribution he made being a shot midway through the second half, which was saved by Jack Butland.

However, the biggest issue with his game last night was the same problem that’s been singled out multiple times this year: his defensive fragility.

For example, he lost Hamza Igamane for the opening goal and was constantly being attacked as Rangers could sense he wasn’t up to the battle, making Kilpatrick’s 4/10 match rating feel more than justified.

Unsurprisingly, his statistics from the game were also poor, as in 93 minutes of action, the defensive “horror”, as dubbed by journalist Mitch Fretton, amassed an expected goal plus assists figure of 0.08, was dribbled past four times, lost six of nine duels, lost the ball 20 times, committed one foul, misplaced seven of eight long balls and two of three crosses.

Ultimately, it was a night to forget for the entire Spurs team, but Werner and Porro were particularly woeful and must be dropped for some time.

فتح نادي ليفربول الإنجليزي والمحترف ضمن صفوفه اللاعب المصري محمد صلاح، قائد منتخب مصر، باب المفاوضات مع برشلونة للتعاقد مع أحد لاعبي الريدز.

ويرغب النادي الإسباني في تعزيز صفوفه استعدادًا للموسم المقبل ولكسب المزيد من الألقاب بعد النجاح في موسم فليك الأول والتتويج بالثلاثية المحلية (الدوري وكأس الملك والسوبر).

ويعتبر لويس دياز، أحد أولويات برشلونة، إذ أبدى ديكو، المدير الرياضي إعجابه الشديد بالجناح الكولومبي، إلا أن ليفربول كان أعلن رفضه وعدم نيته التفاوض بشأن اللاعب البالغ من العمر 28 عامًا.

وفقًا لصحيفة “سبورت” الكتالونية، فإن ليفربول منفتح الآن على مناقشة صفقة دياز لأنه يرغب في اللعب مع برشلونة الصيف المقبل، وقد استبعد الانتقال إلى السعودية، رغم العروض المغرية التي تقدمت له.

وبحسب ما أفادت الصحيفة فإن ليفربول سمح لدياز بالرحيل في حال وصول عرض يساوي 85 مليون يورو في حين أن عرض برشلونة يُقدر بحوالي 60 مليون يورو، إلا أن ليفربول فتح باب المفاوضات بشكل تدريجي بسبب الصفقات الأخرى.

da poker： Chelsea are flying right now, claiming a fourth successive Premier League victory on Sunday afternoon, fighting back from 2-0 down to defeat fierce rivals Spurs 4-3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

da apostaganha： Jadon Sancho and Enzo Fernández both pulled off long-range strikes, while Cole Palmer converted a pair of second-half penalties, the second of which was an audacious, impudent Panenka.

This means Palmer has now converted 12 out of 12 spot-kicks in the Premier League, the most any player has taken without ever missing one, surpassing the previous record held by Yaya Touré, and that wasn’t a bad way to do it, was it?

This victory lifts Enzo Maresca’s team clear of both Arsenal and Manchester City, now very much Liverpool’s nearest-challengers, just four points adrift the league-leaders, albeit the Reds have a game in hand.

Given that the Blues’ next seven opponents are Brentford, Everton, Fulham, Ipswich, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Wolves, they’re likely to hang around the title conversation a little while longer yet.

Chelsea star wanted by Europe's elite

Following Sunday’s game, Jamie Carragher stated on Sky Sports that he believes Palmer has been the best-performing player in the Premier League since the start of last season.

Well, based on these statistics, it’s hard to dispute that claim.

As shown by this table, just seven players have accumulated 30+ goals and assists in the Premier League since the start of last season, with Palmer’s brace at Tottenham meaning he has had more direct goal involvement than any other player during this time-frame, one more than Mohamed Salah, albeit having made three more appearances.

The English star’s phenomenal form is not going unnoticed because, as claims from Spain suggest in recent days, Real Madrid are interested in signing the Englishman, with president Florentino Pérez allegedly admiring his ‘qualities and potential to become a global icon’.

The Blues signed Palmer for £42.5m, which now appears to be an absolute bargain, with CIES Football Observatory believing his value has more than doubled in 18 months, stating he is worth around £96m, which is probably a conservative estimate.

Having signed a further two-year extension in August, Palmer is now contracted to Chelsea until 2033, meaning he would not come cheap, with the aforementioned report acknowledging that ‘the player’s price tag would be a major obstacle’.

An Eden Hazard repeat for Chelsea

Historically, Real Madrid do seem to have a habit when it comes to poaching the Premier League’s premier talent; David Beckham (2003), Cristiano Ronaldo (2009), Xabi Alonso (2009), Luka Modrić (2012) and Gareth Bale (2013) all spring to mind.

We’ve intentionally left Real Madrid’s all-time record signing off this list, because that may be a rather sensitive issue for Chelsea supporters given that, despite the countless number of Galácticos that have donned the famous all-white kit at the Bernabéu over the decades, Eden Hazard’s £88.5m move from Chelsea remains the most Los Blancos have ever paid for any player.

Fair to say, this transfer was not a success, given that the Belgian made only 76 appearances for Los Merengues, scoring a miserly seven goals, before unceremoniously retiring without a club at the age of 32 in October 2023.

Of course, should Real Madrid make a move for Palmer, they’d certainly be seeking to avoid a sense of déjà vu, but considering Palmer is just 22 years old, there’s minimal chance of this happening.

In more modern times, the Champions League specialists have shown a willingness to spend big on young talents: Aurélien Tchouaméni (£66m), Vinícius Júnior (£40m), and of course Jude Bellingham’s £88m move the clearest recent examples.

Nevertheless, the Spanish giants may be forced to break their all-time record fee should they wish to sign Chelsea’s star attacker, as they did five years ago.

Brook’s high-tempo fifty and early breakthroughs keep all results possible for day five

Valkerie Baynes04-Dec-2022

Harry Brook’s high-tempo innings drove England to a bold tea-time declaration•AFP/Getty Images

Another fearless performance by newcomer Harry Brook, a calculated declaration and a short-ball barrage that had Pakistan reeling initially in pursuit of a lofty 343 runs for victory: Bazball was on a Rawalpindi rampage on the penultimate day of this first Test.When England’s fresh, aggressive approach to Tests was still in its infancy during their home summer and they came a cropper against South Africa at Lord’s, new head coach Brendon McCullum’s message was simple and effective, along the lines of: if you think you’ve pushed hard enough, push some more.His charges have wholeheartedly embraced the message, positioning themselves to claim the remaining eight wickets they need – possibly seven depending on how Azhar Ali pulls up overnight from a finger injury – on a pitch that has proven to be a batting paradise.Pakistan are not out of the contest with Imam-ul-Haq, who made 121 in the first innings, steadying the hosts from 25 for 2 and unbeaten on 43 at stumps, and Saud Shakeel not out 24, needing another 263 runs.An enthralling day’s play began with Test debutant Will Jacks completing a six-wicket haul on debut after the hosts had put up an hour-and-a-half’s worth of resistance, thanks to Agha Salman’s fifty which contained England’s first-innings lead to 78 runs.Ben Stokes dismissed Babar Azam as England made early inroads•Getty Images

But the tourists then stretched that to 342 in 35.5 overs of high-tempo batting in their second innings, Brook stealing the show among England’s three half-centurions with a sublime display of strokeplay and timing.Then Pakistan succumbed to England’s short-ball tactics which, in the space of nine eventful deliveries, accounted for opener Abdullah Shafique and captain Babar Azam , either side of Azhar retiring hurt.Pakistan were 20 without loss after four overs in their second innings, sedate in the bizarre context of the feverish run-rates so far but a positive opening gambit in its own right, as both men traded the threat of England’s bouncers with the scoring opportunities they offeredBut then Ollie Robinson removed Shafique, pulling to Brook at deep square leg before striking Azhar a heavy blow on the tip of his right index finger, which sent him back to the dressing-room for treatment while on nought, and brought Babar to the crease, to the home crowd’s delight.Babar was the leading scorer among three Pakistan centurions – and seven in total – for the match with his first-innings 136. but he managed just four before feathering a Ben Stokes bouncer to wicketkeeper Ollie Pope as a hush fell over the stands.England could have had another wicket late in the evening when substitute fielder Keaton Jennings put down a chance at short leg off Shakeel, then on 22, from the bowling of Jack Leach.Stokes had declared during the tea break after Brook, Joe Root and Zak Crawley all reached fifties in the middle session.England were 46 for 2 at lunch after Ben Duckett followed his first-innings ton with a first-ball duck and Pope fell for 15.But Brook upstaged all others for a second time in just his second Test. Having top-scored in England’s first innings with a rapid 153 off just 116 balls, he threatened to post another quickfire century with a boundary-laden 87 off 65 balls. Three times Brook powered Zahid Mahmood over the rope for six, his big shots looking effortless much of the time, before he was bowled by Naseem Shah on the stroke of tea going for one swing too many.Will Jacks walks off after taking 6 for 161 on debut•Getty Images

Crawley added another fifty to his first-innings 122, but no sooner had he brought up his latest milestone in 47 balls, he was caught behind off a Mohammad Ali short ball with Pakistan overturning umpire Ahsan Raza’s not-out decision when replays showed that the ball had kissed the glove on the way through to Mohammad Rizwan.Root reached the same milestone off 48 deliveries, crashing Naseem’s fuller ball through mid-off to the boundary as England kept the tempo high. Then, in an audacious move, Root switched to batting left-handed for the first ball of legspinner Mahmood’s first over after drinks.He produced two sweeps, the second of which was put down by Naseem at midwicket then, switching back to right-handed, Root reverse-swept the next ball he faced through backward point for four. Root eventually fell sweeping too, top-edging a Zahid delivery which was going wide down the leg side to Imam at short backward square. Stokes followed for a duck off the third ball he faced, chasing a Zahid ball outside off and bobbing a catch to Shakeel at cover.Jacks staged a doughty cameo of 24 off 13 balls, including three sixes, before he holed out to long-off, bringing like-minded heavy-hitter Liam Livingstone to the crease after spending much of the Pakistan innings off the field with a knee injury. Livingstone remained unbeaten on 7 at the declaration.Jacks, called up as a late replacement for Ben Foakes who was struck down by illness on the eve of the match, ended up bowling more than he ever would have imagined with fellow debutant and part-time spinner Livingstone out of action. Jacks sent down down 40.3 overs – second behind only frontline spinner Leach’s 49 – and walked away with 6 for 161.Jacks, who came into this match with just 21 first-class wickets, began the day with three more already to his name – including that of Babar – and, after the hosts resumed on 499 for 7, he took care of the rest.Salman brought up his second Test fifty with a well-placed chip off Leach over the covers which raced to the boundary, but fell a short time later, edging Jacks to Crawley at slip.The dismissal brought in Test debutant Haris Rauf, who was cleared to bat but not bowl in England’s second innings after suffering a thigh strain from rolling over the ball while fielding on the first day. He was Pakistan’s last man out, chasing a wider Jacks delivery and edging to Root, who took a strong catch reaching overhead at slip.

Jandrei, por sua vez, se tornou um desfalque mesmo depois de relacionado para o confronto, válido pelo jogo de ida nas quartas de finais da competição, após ser constatada uma fratura em uma vértebra na região lombar. O jogador está afastado desde o jogo contra o Fluminense, onde se machucou depois de um choque com Léo.

Assim, Thiago Couto assumiu a posição. O jovem atleta, portanto, ainda não havia conquistado a confiança da torcida por conta da sua atuação contra o Internacional e o Goiás. Porém, nesta quinta-feira (28), buscou sua redenção.

O goleiro defendeu um pênalti de Maidana, que ele mesmo cometeu, e evitou que o América-MG avançasse no placar, assim, assegurou a vantagem do Tricolor.

Miranda, que retornou após três partidas fora por conta de dores musculares, elogiou a atuação do jogador. Para ele, Couto demonstrou ‘estar no caminho para se tornar um grande goleiro’. O zagueiro também destacou o desempenho de Luciano, autor do gol da vitória.

– Luciano fez um grande jogo, é bom destacar o fator primordial, a defesa do Couto no pênalti. Garoto que trabalha bastante. Demonstrou que tá no caminho de ser grande goleiro. Equipe de parabéns pela luta, dedicação. Temos mais 90 minutos, vamos buscar a classificação. Jogar no São Paulo é pressão, todos que vestem a camisa sentem frio na barriga. Couto hoje deu conta do recado, muitos jogos melhores virão – disse.

Agora, o São Paulo volta a campo no domingo (21), contra o Athletico-PR, às 16h, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro. A partida acontecerá no estádioJoaquim Américo Guimarães.

India could manage only 168 for 6, before the England openers took charge

Moody: ‘India lacked intent in the first half of their innings’

For all of England’s game-breaking talent, this win that takes them into the 2022 Men’s T20 World Cup final was all about doing the basics right.They protected the short square boundary in Adelaide, giving away only two sixes until the start of the death overs.They saw a chance to break open a chase of 169 in the powerplay, when the ball was coming on nicely under the lights, and seized it, smashing 10 boundaries while the field was up.A score 63 for 0 in six became 170 for 0 in 16. Jos Buttler became a supernova. Alex Hales became a dream come true. became .The Hales gamble
One horrid rain-soaked night at the MCG, England played the way they swore they never would. The captain then came out and said “let it hurt”.Pain is powerful, but just as well as it disorients, it brings clarity. In that it forces people to do everything possible to never feel it again. And that’s what’s happened.Since that defeat to Ireland, where they kept second-guessing themselves, England have batted and bowled with ultimate clarity. The selection of Hales was one of ultimate clarity. He came with solid experience in Australian conditions. They needed that experience. Buttler made the call. And now here is the payoff.A player who, for a long time, came to be known as a disruptive force within the England team was given a second chance. And he’s repaid their faith with an innings that broke the biggest superpower in the world of cricket.Hales equalled India’s tally of sixes all by himself – seven – reducing their bowlers to rubble. He even backed himself to clear Adelaide’s massive 88-metre straight boundaries.India played a hand in their own undoing as ESPNcricinfo’s Karthik Krishnaswamy notes here. They had batted against a bowling attack that allowed them to score a mere 64 runs off 46 balls square of the wicket in the first 15 overs. England though had no such restrictions. Their batters were given all the room they needed to access the short boundary. Hales and Buttler amassed 98 runs off 54 balls square of the wicket in their first 15 overs.Jos Buttler and Alex Hales soak in their unbroken 170-run stand•Getty Images

Buttler’s brilliance
This is how you break a match-up. Coming into this game, Buttler had fallen to Bhuvneshwar Kumar five times in 32 balls in T20I cricket.He must have known this because first ball he charged out of his crease, intent on negating the India bowler’s biggest strength. His swing.These were the kinds of moves Buttler was making all night as he finished on 80 off 49.He front-loaded Adil Rashid against India’s right-hand heavy top-order. And the legspinner took out Suryakumar Yadav.He reaffirmed Chris Jordan’s faith in his yorkers. One of those toppled Virat Kohli off his feet.Virat Kohli stumbles trying to play a Chris Jordan yorker•AFP via Getty Images

He silenced a crowd of 40,094 – getting all revved up thanks to Hardik Pandya – with one single shot. A pull for four off Axar Patel.Buttler was at the centre of a lot of good things – but most of them probably date back to the drawing board.England won this game in the backroom. They contained a 360-degree player by taking pace off, because at least that way, you’re only defending one side of the pitch. The one in front of the batter.Buttler backed Rashid to pull off this heist, and this was even after the legspinner had been punished for a boundary first ball all because he had dared to toss it up.Rashid could easily have protected his figures tonight. Sat back and pointed people to his tournament economy rate (6.25). But no, he didn’t. He bought into the plan and picked up perhaps the most important wicket for England. Just his second of the World Cup.Suryakumar is the man India look to for acceleration through the middle and the death. With him gone for 14 off 10, the game had changed.Hardik rising
There was only one phase of play that England lost in this game. And that was when Hardik decided enough was enough.He was 13 off 15 at the start of the 17th over. India were 110 for 3. They had tried to disrupt England.Rohit Sharma hit one of the shots of the night – a one-bounce four over extra cover off a near Jordan yorker – but he fell three balls later.Suryakumar succumbed after hitting Ben Stokes for a six and a four.All of this prompted Kohli to go into anchor mode, which meant the other guy had to go big.Hardik Pandya hit five sixes in his 33-ball 63•AFP/Getty Images

And Hardik did. He brought out the helicopter shot against Jordan. He escorted a wide yorker for four past short third off Sam Curran. He flat batted short balls all around the park.India made 58 runs in their last four overs. Fifty of them came off Hardik’s bat. This was his scoring sequence from the 18th over: 6, 6, dot, 1, 1, 4, 6, 4, 1, 6, 4, out (having trodden on his stumps while whipping the ball for what would have been another four). Five of those 12 balls were attempted yorkers. Many of them landed pretty close to the perfect spot. But Hardik stands so deep in his crease and brings so much of his wrists into his strokeplay that even they became boundary-scoring opportunities.From looking like they’d be lucky to get to 140, India had 168. India had hope.And then nothing. Or maybe its worse than that because now there will be questions about the way they played their first 10 overs (62 for 2 with only seven boundaries) against a team full of power-hitters.England chasing history
They invented the game. They hosted each of the first three World Cups. They absolutely loved cricket. And there were a few nice moments.A passion-filled night in Karachi. Several glorious weeks in Australia. An unforgettable adventure in India.But there was also, “I intend… to make them grovel”. And, “We’ll have a bowl.”England + Cricket = broken-heart emojiBut then, on a fine summer’s day in 2019, they got their “I love you” back. And It. Meant. Everything.Now they want “I love you more”. Maybe even “I love you most”. Because England, through all the twists and turns and tragicomedy, are now just one win away from being the first men’s team in history to hold both World Cups at the same time.It’s taken a lot of effort to get here. A complete rewiring of DNA, in fact. Seriously, if you take one of Buttler’s cells and put it under a microscope, you’ll just see a scoop over fine leg for six.This is England now. This is the revolution that Eoin Morgan began and Buttler sustains. It got its validation at Lord’s on that fine summer’s day in 2019. But you know the thing with these things. Once is never ever enough.
