خالد مرتجي: كولر جدد عقده مع الأهلي.. ومانشستر سيتي تمنى مواجهتنا

أشاد خالد مرتجي أمين الصندوق في النادي الأهلي بتتويج الفريق بالميدالية البرونزية في كأس العالم للأندية 2023، مشيرًا إلى أنه تم تجديد عقد كولر المدير الفني بشهر أغسطس الماضي.

وقال خالد مرتجي في مداخلة لقناة “أون تايم سبورتس”: “نمتلك أعظم جمهور في الكون، سعادة ما بعدها سعادة، وكنا نتمنى تحقيق أفضل من ذلك”.

وواصل: “تواجد الأهلي على منصة التتويج رائع، الأحمر هو المنظومة الناجحة ويضيف بسمة وفرحة على جموع وأغلبية الشعب الأهلاوي، الجيل الحالي يستحق كل الاحترام، حزين لأن كان ممكن تحقيق نتيجة أفضل، وكان هناك بعض الظلم التحكيمي في مباراة فلومينينسي البرازيلي”.

وأكمل: “رئيس مانشستر سيتي قال لي، كنا نتمنى نلعب معكم في النهائي وكنتم تستحقوها، وموتسيبي قال لمحمود الخطيب أنتم فخر لإفريقيا، بيب جوارديولا قال لي عندما ذهب لمصر أن الكل كان يتحدث فقط عن الأهلي”.

وتابع: “محمود الخطيب حاليًا بحالة جيدة، مارسيل كولر جدد تعاقده مع الأهلي أغسطس الماضي، والطائرة ستتجه للإمارات في الساعة السادسة، والشركة الراعية حاولت تأجيل مباراة السوبر ولكن سنخوض المواجهة في موعدها”.

وواصل: “يجب عودة الجماهير للمدرجات، الكرة دون جماهير لا تسوى شيئًا، يجب أن تكون ملاعبنا مليئة بالجماهير، الجمهور هو الأساس وهو من صنع اسم الأهلي، مهما سأقول على الجماهير لن أقدر أن أمنحها ما تستحقه”.

وزاد: “الأهلي يجب أن يوفر مليون و300 ألف دولار كل شهر للجهاز الفني واللاعبين، أتمنى الفترة المقبلة من الدولة والبنك المركزي على الأقل يوفرون لنا العملة الصعبة للعقود المبرمة، حتى لو يعطون لنا بسعر أعلى لأننا غير قادرين على توفير العملة الصعبة”.

وبشأن وصول عروض سعودية لـ محمد الشناوي، قال: “لا أعرف عنها شيء”.

وصرح بشأن ما يحدث للفرنسي موديست في الأهلي: “كان الله في عونه وربنا يفتحها عليه ونرى منه شيء جيد، سيرته الذاتية والفيديوهات تدل أنه لاعب جيد، كولر أصر على التعاقد معه رغم أنه عُرض عليه أكثر من لاعب، هناك لاعبون على أعلى مستوى انضموا لأندية كبيرة ولم يؤدوا وبعد ذلك انضموا لأندية أخرى وتألقوا”.

واستطرد: “كولر كان حزينًا جدًا بسبب خسارة مباراة فلومينينسي البرازيلي، كان يتمنى أن يحقق مركز أفضل من الثالث”.

واختتم: “إمام عاشور طائر من الفرحة، لقد نال جائزة رجل المباراة وهو يستحقها، تشعر (قد ايه النادي الأهلي هو من يصنع النجوم)”.

الأهلي تمكن من الفوز بنتيجة 4-2 على أوراوا، بالمباراة التي أقيمت اليوم على استاد الأمير عبد الله الفيصل، وحصل على المركز الثالث بمونديال الأندية.

بهذا الفوز نجح الأهلي في حصد الميدالية البرونزية الرابعة في تاريخه في كأس العالم للأندية، من خلال 9 مشاركات له في البطولة.

ومن المقرر أن يلتقي الأهلي في المباراة القادمة أمام سيراميكا كليوباترا، في مستهل مباريات كأس السوبر المصري.

وتستضيف الإمارات بطولة كأس السوبر المصري في شكله الجديد، والذي يشهد مشاركة 4 فرق لأول مرة في تاريخه، وهي، الأهلي وبيراميدز وسيراميكا كليوباترا وفيوتشر.

Myburgh defiant while Durham fret about Onions

For the second time this season Johann Myburgh defied one of his former counties, Durham, as he gave struggling Somerset a slight edge on the first day at Chester-le-Street

Johann Myburgh edged Somerset towards a strong position at Chester-le-Street•Getty Images

ScorecardFor the second time this season Johann Myburgh defied one of his former counties, Durham, as he gave struggling Somerset a slight edge on the first day at Chester-le-Street.After choosing to bat, Durham were dismissed for 189 with Craig Overton taking 4 for 40, then Myburgh followed the 115 he made against the same opponents at Taunton with an unbeaten 57.Somerset were 147 for 4 at the close, while Durham had further cause to worry about Graham Onions. After missing much of last season through injury, he has already suffered three niggles this year and was off the field for most of the evening session.Overton was the most impressive of those who might have interested watching national selector James Whitaker, although Durham’s Chris Rushworth also bowled well. The first of his three victims took him to 100 championship wickets since the start of last season.While his twin, Jamie, was left out to accommodate the return of Lewis Gregory, who proved expensive, Overton came on for the ninth over and took 2 for 19 in his first seven-over spell.His fourth ball swung into left-hander Mark Stoneman to have him lbw and one which nipped back pinned Paul Collingwood in front for a duck.From 46 for 3 Durham progressed to 117 through Keaton Jennings and Michael Richardson before four wickets went down for three runs in four overs after lunch.Jennings was lbw trying to whip Tim Groenewald through mid-wicket and Jim Allenby somehow induced a ball to leap at Richardson, who fended to second slip, where Marcus Trescothick parried it and held on to the rebound.Calum MacLeod sliced his second ball to backward point off Allenby then Paul Coughlin stayed on his crease and was lbw to Groenewald.The slump was stemmed by a brief counter-attack from John Hastings as he Gordon Muchall shared a 50 stand in 48 balls before Overton yorked Hastings and forced Muchall to edge to Trescothick.Trescothick survived a confident lbw appeal from Rushworth in the first over of the reply before the next big shout brought his downfall for 26 in the first over after tea.Tom Abell had edged a drive at Rushworth to the wicketkeeper, but at 34 for 2 James Hildreth settled in cautiously. He had made six off 33 balls when he hit two fours and survived a chance to second slip, all in the same Hastings over.After contributing 35 to a stand of 73 with Myburgh, Hildreth surrendered to Scott Borthwick’s second ball, pulling a long hop straight to mid-on.Tom Cooper did something similar, picking out mid-wicket off Rushworth, before Allenby kept Myburgh company to the close. Myburgh completed a 92-ball half-century with a four off Borthwick in the final over.

Plano de negócios entra na fase final e Botafogo avança rumo à S/A

MatériaMais Notícias

O Botafogo deu mais um passo rumo à profissionalização do departamento de futebol. Praticamente pronto, o plano de negócios da Botafogo S/A será apresentado ao Conselho Fiscal do clube até a próxima terça-feira. Na última terça-feira, o Conselho Diretor do clube de General Severiano teve acesso a parte dobusiness plan e o sinal foi positivo.

O Conselho Diretor, inclusive, se reuniram em General Severiano para debater o novo modelo de gestão, mas ainda não tiveram acesso ao conteúdo. A cúpula até ofereceu dois integrantes para participar no estudo, mas o Conselho Diretor não achou a participação de ambos adequada. A tendência, porém, é que o grupo seja o próximo a ter acesso às páginas do business plan.

O planejamento da separação do departamento de futebol da parte social do clube ficará pronto até o início da próxima semana. Deste modo, a diretoria terá acesso aos números. A lógica é a seguinte: após o parecer do Conselho Fiscal, o Deliberativo do Botafogo convocará uma reunião extraordinária para a votação da mudança do Estatuto para permitir a separação das partes.

Se o projeto for aprovado internamente, o Botafogo iniciará o último – e, talvez, mais complicado – passo rumo à profissionalização: a busca por investidores. Ainda não nenhum contrato concreto, mas algumas empresas estrangeiras já demonstram interesse no projeto e o Alvinegro iniciou conversas, mas ainda de forma leve. Com um documento consolidado, a cúpula alvinegra espera intensificar as conversas por parcerias econômicas.

Nos últimos meses, o Botafogo vem focando as atenções em um processo de internacionalização, justamente pensando nessa captação de investidores. A parceria com o governo chinês por exemplo, está consolidada e a marca do clube aparece com certa frequência no cotidiano das categorias de base do país asiático.

O grupo que elaborou o plano de negócios é o mesmo que vem debatendo as questões da formação do clube-empresa desde o estudo da Ersnt & Young, encomendado pelos irmãos Moreira Salles, praticamente semanalmente. Esta cúpula é lidera por Nelson Mufarrej e conta com outras presenças importantes dentro do clube, como membros da diretoria e torcedores ilustres.

Nos próximos dias, o Botafogo deve divulgar uma nota dando esclarecimentos sobre essa nova parte do projeto. É esperado que o documento traga detalhes de quem possa liderar a parte da busca por investidores.

India Women rue poor starts with bat and ball

After conceding a 2-1 lead to New Zealand Women in the series, Veda Krishnamurthy said India Women had failed in the third ODI because of poor starts in batting and bowling

Vishal Dikshit in Bangalore03-Jul-2015India Women posted their highest total of the series. They put on their first fifty-plus partnership of the series. Veda Krishnamurthy surpassed the team’s highest individual score of the series and for the first time in three games, the team was not bowled out – but . The scorecard of the third ODI showed many positives in the Indian batting, in context of the series, but the margin of improvement did not seem big.India have struggled to get the runs from the start of an innings, have strived to put on substantial partnerships, and have relied on only one batsman per match. On Friday, it was Krishnamurthy’s 63 that hauled India past 150 to an eventual score of 182 for 9. She said after the match that the team has been “banking on the bowlers” to defend whatever total the batsmen put up, and that was also one of the factors behind the team’s decision to bat first in all three games, despite their struggles while doing so.Worked on mental aspect of my game – Krishnamurthy

Veda Krishnamurthy excelled on her ODI debut with a 57-ball 51 against England back in 2011. Since then she has played only 11 ODIs, with single-digit scores in her last six innings, and her 63 today was only her second half-century in the format. Playing her first ODI series since July 2012, Krishnamurthy said that a few mental changes had made the difference to her approach.
“I worked a lot mentally because when it comes to technique, that was never a problem for me,” she said. “I used to fail because I used to lose it mentally and I had a good domestic season this year and selectors had faith in me that I am going to do well. It just came out well.
“I am playing a one-day (series) after two years (sic) so failing in the first game and not playing in the second, this game was very important for me as well as for the team to post a good total. Personally it helped me gain confidence for the rest of the series.”
When asked what kept her going in her efforts to make a comeback, she said: “I have a lot of faith in myself that I am good enough to play at this level. I was just giving in everything wherever possible and luckily this year came out really well where I performed at the right moment which helped me get confidence. And to come here and play a series and to perform has given me a lot of confidence.”

“We are just having faith in our bowling that we can defend whatever we post,” Krishnamurthy said. “Right now the bowling is the strength so three spinners playing in the XI and Jhulan (Goswami) being the top bowler, we bank on the bowlers for whatever total we post. It didn’t work out but this is the reason we were looking to bat first.”I think we played a lot of dot balls initially and there were hardly singles taken. Throughout the series, we have been losing too many wickets in the beginning and then whoever is going in has to build an innings and take it forward, rather than going and playing their game. That is the main concern.”India’s bowling probably relied too much either on Goswami, or on the spinners to trouble the New Zealand batsmen on slow and turning pitches in the first two matches. In the first ODI, the spinners took all eight wickets to fall to bowlers, and in the second Goswami returned with economical figures of 10-3-14-2. The scenario changed in the third match when New Zealand openers Suzie Bates and Rachel Priest came out with an attacking mindset.”We gave too many boundaries initially, we gave a lot of boundaries in fact,” Krishnamurthy said. “That’s where the game got out of our hands. We had to look for wickets initially. They were getting a lot of boundaries initially so at that point the game was in New Zealand’s hands because they had a good first-wicket partnership and to come back from there was very difficult. You have to expect a collapse or a hat-trick or something.”Priest played a key role in that opening stand, attacking the spinners from the second over to ensure that the partnership stayed intact, even if it meant scoring only a few runs from Goswami’s bowling. She scored boundaries off every spinner except Rajeshwari Gayakwad and scored the least against Goswami – three runs off 13 balls.”She [Goswami] bowled really well again today, it was just probably a sub-conscious mind shift for us that we were going to be aggressive against everybody,” Priest said. “She’s definitely their most dangerous bowler for us. We weren’t too worried about what we scored off her as long as we scored at the other end. She’s always going to be a threat to us but as long as we can be confident and play out shots against her, we’ll score against her as well.”After her 19-ball duck in the series opener and a watchful innings against spinners in the second match, Priest decided to attack the spinners the third time.”We had that discussion after the first game and just tweaked our game plans,” Priest said. “For me personally it was more about being aggressive and taking on the bowlers, the spinners in particular. It was about moving our feet and trusting our game. It (attacking) is an extension of my natural game. I think I went away from that in the first game which didn’t work for me, I think I might look to be more attacking.”

Marcos Vinicius é relacionado no Botafogo para o jogo contra o Avaí

Nottinghamshire have signed Jackson Bird, the Australia fast bowler, as a replacement for Peter Siddle who faces an extended period on the sidelines after being diagnosed with stress fractures of the back.Bird, who returned to the Test team in the recent series against New Zealand and claimed 5 for 59 in the second Test, will be available for the first 10 County Championship matches.He is unlikely to play white-ball cricket with Nottinghamshire extending the remit of Dan Christian, who had already been signed for the T20 Blast, to also appear in the Royal London Cup.Mick Newell, Nottinghamshire’s director of cricket, said: “Having a bowler of international quality to spearhead our young seam attack is important for us, so we knew what type of player we wanted to go for.”After Peter got injured, Jackson is the man Australia turned to. He performed very well in that Test match, he’s a similar bowler to Peter in many ways and he was the obvious choice for us in the circumstances.”Jackson is also very suitable for English conditions, particularly the types of pitches we play on at Trent Bridge.”Newell is excited about the battle for pace-bowling slots that Nottinghamshire will have early in the season with Stuart Broad likely to be available for a run of matches having not been selected for the World T20.”Pairing him with Stuart Broad early in the season, with real competition for the other two places, is an exciting combination for us,” Newell said.Bird played one Test on the 2013 Ashes tour – at Chester-le-Street – and also appeared for Hampshire during the 2015 season.”Notts are a really good club and I have heard a lot about them from fellow Australians who have been there before, such as Ed Cowan and Peter Siddle,” Bird said. “Trent Bridge is a famous English venue and I heard plenty about it when I was living with Andre Adams last year.”I can’t wait to get over there, get to know the lads and to play my home games at the ground. My general style is to trouble the batsmen and get them playing at balls they shouldn’t. The surfaces in England and at Trent Bridge should suit the way I bowl, so I can’t wait to get started.”

Há 38 anos, Zico comandou o Flamengo no primeiro jogo da final da Libertadores contra o Cobreloa

MatériaMais Notícias

O dia 13 de novembro de 1981 está marcado na história do Flamengo e na memória de milhões de rubro-negros. Há exatos 38 anos, o time da Gávea, comandado por Zico, vencia por 2 a 1 o Cobreloa (CHL), no primeiro jogo da decisão da Copa Libertadores. Os quase 100 mil rubro-negros viram uma atuação de gala do camisa 10, que marcou os dois gols da vitória no Maracanã.

O primeiro tempo foi de amplo domínio do Flamengo. Tanto que, ainda aos 30 minutos, Zico fez o seu segundo gol na decisão, batendo pênalti sofrido por Adílio. A cobrança foi clássico: bola de um lado, Wirth, o goleiro rival, do outro.

Antes, Zico havia aberto o placar com outra contribuição de Adílio, que fez o pivô e deixou o meio-campista em condições de finalizar cara a cara com Wirth. Assim relata o livro “1981 – O primeiro ano do resto de nossas vidas”, de Maurício Neves de Jesus, com Arthur Muhlenberg e Lucas Dantas, de 2011.

O 2 a 0 antes do intervalo acabou sendo pouco pelo volume ofensivo do time no primeiro tempo. O próprio Zico, além de Júnior, tiveram boas chances. Na volta do intervalo, o Cobreloa descontou, de pênalti, com Merello. Nunes, camisa 9 rubro-negro, perdeu outras chances no fim, e o Flamengo venceu.

Uma semana depois, a equipe de Carpegiani visitou o Cobreloa no Estádio Nacional de Santiago, no Chile. A derrota por 1 a 0 forçou a partida de desempate entre os clubes na decisão da Libertadores em 1981. O terceiro confronto foi em 23 de novembro, em Montevidéu, e o Flamengo venceu por 2 a 0 – com mais dois gols de Zico – e conquistou a América pela primeira vez.

Rubro-negros 'tomam' rua em Lima; grupo de torcedores sai da Austrália pela final

MatériaMais Notícias

A invasão da torcida do Flamengo em Lima começou e o bairro de Miraflores, região mais turística da cidade, ganhou ares de Rio de Janeiro, com os torcedores colorindo as ruas de vermelho e preto. A tradicional Calle de las Pizzas – a Rua das Pizzas – tornou-se o ponto de encontro dos rubro-negros, com os bares decorados com as cores do clube e promoções.

– Isso aqui é um carnaval fora de época para nós. Eu e a maioria daqui viemos de muito longe e só vamos embora com a taça – disse Rodrigo Silva, rubro-negro que saiu de Belo Horizonte e tem voo de volta para o Brasil para a noite de sábado.

As paredes da rua foram tomadas pelas bandeiras, cada uma vindo de um lugar do país e do mundo. São Gonçalo (RJ), Brasília (DF), Ponta Grossa (PR)… São torcedores de todos lugares e de todas idades.

A todo momento, os rubro-negros interrompem as conversas e cantam, em bom som, as tradicionais músicas da arquibancada do Maracanã. As provocações quando veem torcedores do River Plate são inevitáveis, mas, por ora, ainda não houve qualquer incidente.

A concentração da torcida na Calle de las Pizzas começou na segunda-feira, por volta das 14h (de Lima), indo madrugada a dentro. A ideia dos rubro-negros é continuar assim até sábado, data da decisão da Libertadores contra o River Plate (ARG). A bola rola no Estádio Monumental às 15h local (17h de Brasília).

Torcedores cruzam o Pacífico pela Copa

Não são apenas do Brasil que vieram torcedores do Flamengo para assistir à final da Libertadores, no sábado, contra o River Plate. Um grupo de 10 rubro-negros encarou uma viagem de quase 20 horas e cruzou o Oceano Pacífico para presenciar a decisão histórica.

E, mesmo antes da partida, o sentimento é de que já valeu a pena, comentou Rodrigo Costa, presidente da Fla Ozzy, torcida do Flamengo com sede na Austrália.

– Sempre esperei por esse momento. Às vezes penso que estou sonhando, que não é real. Nós, rubro-negros, merecemos isso. Sabia que nossa hora ia chegar – disse Rodrigo, antes de dar seu palpite para o jogo.

– Expectativa melhor possível. Em final tudo pode acontecer, mas creio que não vá acontecer nada de anormal, vamos ganhar de 3 a 1 e levar esse bicampeonato – finalizou.

Serão 15 representantes da Fla Ozzy em Lima, no Peru, dos quais dez já estão na capital. Outros cinco são aguardados para esta quinta-feira, todos já com ingresso. A viagem saindo de Sidney e com escala em Santiago, no Chile, leva cerca de 20 horas.

Bruised Mumbai look to bounce back quickly

While Kolkata Knight Riders are coming off a big win, Mumbai Indians will look to re-group after suffering a shocker in their opening match

The Preview by Sirish Raghavan12-Apr-2016Match factsWednesday, April 13, 2016
Start time 2000 local (1430 GMT)3:49

Nannes: KKR should stick to winning combination

Big PictureThe first two matches of IPL 2016 were won by similarly large margins – nine wickets in hand and 30-odd balls to spare. The first game featured Mumbai Indians, at the Wankhede Stadium. The second had Kolkata Knight Riders playing at Eden Gardens. While Knight Riders found themselves on the right side of the result, Mumbai suffered a shocker at home against newcomers Rising Pune Supergiants.Mumbai will take the field at Eden Gardens hoping to bounce back in a hurry. They will want to break their recent habit of losing their first several matches of the season; Mumbai lost their first four games last year, and their first five in 2014 . After their horror show against Supergiants, they would perhaps do best to hit the mental reset button and start afresh.Knight Riders would be pretty pleased with the current state of affairs. Their big win against Delhi Daredevils gave them a handy head-start on the net run-rate front. An excellent all-round effort from their bowlers was followed by a solid showing by their top three batsmen. Their strong spin-bowling department is perfectly suited to the pitches on offer at Eden Gardens. Come Wednesday, Knight Riders will be confident of improving their 5-11 record against Mumbai.In the spotlightAs an overseas spinner, Brad Hogg is in direct competition with Sunil Narine for a spot in Knight Riders’ best XI. With Narine getting back to India only on Tuesday night, he is unlikely to play on Wednesday, making Hogg a certain starter for the Mumbai game. If Hogg can follow up his fine showing against Daredevils with more of the same against Mumbai, Knight Riders may have to seriously consider accommodating both in the team going forward.Hardik Pandya’s stock has risen substantially over the past few months, as an India debut in January was followed by some good performances in the Asia Cup and World T20. However, he still has some distance to go if he is to prove his worth as a genuine allrounder, as opposed to a bit-part player capable of flashes of brilliance. After a tame performance in the IPL opener, he will want to make a greater impact this time around.Team newsKnight Riders have no compelling reason to change the XI that stormed to victory against Daredevils.Kolkata Knight Riders (probable): 1 Robin Uthappa (wk), 2 Gautam Gambhir (capt), 3 Manish Pandey, 4 Colin Munro, 5 Suryakumar Yadav, 6 Yusuf Pathan, 7 Andre Russell, 8 Piyush Chawla, 9 John Hastings, 10 Brad Hogg, 11 Umesh YadavMumbai are unlikely to make knee-jerk changes, but, judging by their practice session, Parthiv Patel may get a game. Vinay Kumar could be the one to miss out, meaning a longer batting line-up at the expense of a bowler. Lendl Simmons is likely to be rested for Corey Anderson, while Nitish Rana could also make the final XI.Mumbai Indians (probable): 1 Parthiv Patel, 2 Rohit Sharma (capt), 3 Lendl Simmons/Corey Anderson, 4 Jos Buttler (wk), 5 Ambati Rayudu, 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Kieron Pollard, 8 Shreyas Gopal, 9 Harbhajan Singh, 10 Mitchell McClenaghan, 11 Jasprit BumrahPitch and conditionsEden Gardens is likely to offer another spinner-friendly track to suit Knight Riders’ attack. It is a big ground by Indian standards, another factor working in favour of spin. Dew is likely to come into play as the night wears on, so fielding first would be the way to go.Stats and trivia Rohit Sharma scored 98* and 50 in his last two IPL innings at Eden Gardens Knight Riders have lost just once in their last 13 IPL games at Eden GardensQuotes”We put pressure on each other with the ball. It is a competitive and respectful competition between us.”
