وعن لامين يامال، اختتم رافينها: ”لامين هو ما هو عليه، أنتم جميعًا تعلمون ذلك، لديه القدرة على تغيير مجرى المباراة، وفي النهاية، نثق به وبالفريق، هذا هو المهم”.

Santner on T20 World Cup prep: It's been a chaotic kind of start

New Zealand opted against warm-up matches because of the staggered arrival of their players

ESPNcricinfo staff01-Jun-2024Mitchell Santner conceded that New Zealand have had a “chaotic start” to the T20 World Cup 2024. The team opted for extra training sessions instead of an official warm-up game due to logistics issues, with players arriving in three batches because of IPL commitments. However, after a few days of training in Trinidad, Santner said New Zealand can “really settle in” now, having moved to Guyana, where they will be playing their opening group match against Afghanistan on June 8.”It’s been a chaotic kind of start with people coming in at different times,” Santner said. “It was nice to get home for a few days before travelling with the team to come over here, had a nice little time in Trinidad. One training kind of got rained out. But we are here now in Guyana, a good week or so to get some good prep done for our first game.”They always put on a good party in the West Indies. I guess not having any warm-up games and guys coming in at different times, it kind of felt a little distorted. We are here in Guyana, we can really settle in with the tournament starting tomorrow. We can watch a little bit of start and then see what the pitches are going to do, especially in Guyana, and do our prep accordingly for our first game.”The World Cup is being played across nine venues – in the Caribbean and the USA – with New Zealand scheduled to play one of their Group C matches in Guyana and three in Tarouba. Up against opponents such as Uganda and Papua New Guinea, apart from West Indies and Afghanistan, Santner felt there was a little bit of the “unknown” about the competition.Related

The T20 World Cup is coming to America… but is America aware?

“It’s obviously good to watch [the first few games]. I think that’s going to be a common theme in the World Cup, you know, different places will play very differently,” he said. “Traditionally, Guyana can be a little bit slow and Trinidad can be pretty good. America is going to be different. So teams have to assess and adapt quickly throughout the whole tournament.”It’s going to be massive. There is a little bit of an unknown with some of these teams. We obviously know what West Indies are capable of doing, but we are not really sure of the other guys. There will be a bit of prep going into each game, scouting, video stuff of what we can get and we just have to stick to what we want to do throughout the whole tournament – every game assess, adapt and the things we talk about leading into each game which is going to be massive.”That apart, New Zealand are relying on their experienced players, including Kane Williamson, James Neesham, Glenn Phillips, and Ish Sodhi who have played in the Caribbean Premier League, to pool in the knowledge of the conditions.”As a squad, we have guys who played a lot,” Santner said, “And then there are few guys who know these conditions. Glenn has played a lot of CPL and a few other boys as well. Channelling that kind of information is going to be big to hit the ground running.”

Manchester United defender Leny Yoro made a bold claim that a lot of people want the Red Devils to fail as he sent out a defiant warning to the naysayers, who had slammed the club's performance after a dismal 2024-25 campaign.

    WHAT YORO SAID

    Speaking to reporters, Yoro said: "There are a lot of people that want us to fail and we know that. But there are also a lot of people that want us to do it, to do great things. We just focus on the fans, you know. We don't care about what they say outside, about the media. Everyone said bulls**t about us last year. But I understand because we didn’t do really well."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The French defender added: "But this season will be different, I hope for us. We don't need to listen to this and just be focused on ourselves. When you play for Manchester United, you need to have the mindset of being the best version of yourself. 

    "I think what they did last season was a mistake for us. When you're Manchester United, you cannot be at this position. The fans know it, everyone knows it. I think we understand this. This season will be different for us. It will be like a revenge from last season. We need to do better."

Kevin De Bruyne has 'surprised everyone' at Napoli as Antonio Conte reveals first impressions of ex-Man City star and backs Romelu Lukaku to be 'even better' than last season

Napoli head coach Antonio Conte was full of praise for new arrival Kevin De Bruyne and hopes Romelu Lukaku can get even better this season.

  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    De Bruyne has left an incredible first impression on Conte, with the Napoli head coach admitting that the former Manchester City star has "surprised everyone" at the club with his commitment to professionalism. The Italian manager also spoke about Lukaku and wished for the striker to "have an even better season than last year".

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Lukaku was a vital cog in Conte's setup as the Partenopei secured the Scudetto on the last day of 2024-25, beating Inter to the title. The former Chelsea, Manchester United, and Inter forward scored 14 goals and registered 10 assists in 36 league outings. His relationship with Conte has always been strong, with Lukaku revealing earlier this month that his goal celebration against Cagliari on the final matchday was a way to avenge himself and his boss after "everyone had written them off".

    Now, Conte will have the luxury of pairing Lukaku with De Bruyne with the hope that their chemistry from the Belgian national team will translate on the pitch for the Serie A title holders. De Bruyne might have turned 34 in June, but there's still a feeling that he can stay on top of his game for a couple more seasons. 

  • WHAT ANTONIO CONTE SAID

    Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday ahead of the friendly against Olympiacos, Conte shared his thoughts on De Bruyne. The Italian said: "He's fully immersed himself in this environment, he's perfectly understood the importance of the work, never a word out of place, he was a very welcome addition for the players who were already here. He's had a top career and came here to get back into the game, without missing a second of training. He's always done everything, available, now we're trying to find the right balance with the four or the three [midfielders]. There will be a lot of matches, an exceptional lad, he's surprised everyone."

    While speaking about Lukaku, Conte added: "He can do even more, because he's a key player in winning the Scudetto, because we bought him for €30 million and the cost/return ratio was top-notch. Training after so many years of not doing so can bring him a lot of benefits. He's in the midst of his development, he's one of the team's key players, and we need players who can also acquire some leadership. From Romelu to Giovanni Di Lorenzo, [Stanislav] Lobotka, [Frank] Anguissa, and, quietly, [Amir] Rrahmani. I need the old group, I need them to take on even more responsibility, because so many new players are coming in, and we need people who can always lead the way even in difficult situations. For Romelu, may he have an even better season than last year. That's my hope."

Palmeiras x Santos: excelência na base, mas políticas bem distintas de utilização no profissional

MatériaMais Notícias

Neste sábado, no Morumbi, Palmeiras e Santos fazem clássico pelo Paulistão-2023. Marcado para começar às 18h30, o duelo traz clubes que são reverenciados pelo trabalho que fazem em suas bases, que são duas das melhores do Brasil. No entanto, quando o assunto é a política de utilização dos jovens no profissional, as semelhanças acabam. Enquanto o Verdão consegue colocar suas joias aos poucos no elenco principal, o Peixe promove suas promessas como uma necessidade.

Para o clássico da sexta rodada da fase de grupos do estadual, é o time da Baixada que deve contar com mais jogadores da base no time titular: João Paulo, Sandry, Ângelo e Marcos Leonardo tendem a estar entre os 11 escolhidos por Odair Hellmann. Enquanto isso, Abel Ferreira deverá ter somente Gabriel Menino e Endrick na formação de início do Alviverde, além de nomes no banco de reservas.

Palmeiras trabalha jovens para reforçar elenco e não para serem solução de problemas

O Verdão “varreu” os títulos da base no ano de 2022 e começou 2023 levando a Copinha. O trabalho e o investimento nas categorias inferiores traz resultados esportivos e financeiros, bem como peças que foram responsáveis diretas pela conquista dos últimos títulos no profissional. Podemos citar Danilo, Patrick de Paula, Gabriel Veron, Wesley, Gabriel Menino e Endrick. O único que ainda não foi negociado é Menino, que por sua vez decidiu uma taça no último sábado, contra o Flamengo.

>Federação Paulista de Futebol declara apoio a Abel Ferreira após manifestação de entidade

Tais jovens, quando promovidos ao profissional, tiveram a missão de reforçar o elenco, ou seja, eram parte do grupo, mas sem a necessidade de cobrir buracos. Com tantos resultados e investimentos na base, nada mais justo do que introduzi-los aos poucos e dar as devidas oportunidades. Mas os talentos eram tão grandes, que eles passaram a protagonizar as conquistas, especialmente com a chegada de Abel Ferreira, depois da competente visão de Luxemburgo.

E outras gerações foram surgindo, como a de agora, capitaneada por Endrick, mas que ainda conta com Giovani, Jhon Jhon, Garcia, Vanderlan, Naves e Fabinho, todos parte do grupo principal. Vanderlan, por exemplo, é o reserva imediato da posição e ganhou o status ainda em 2022, quando era a terceira opção e superou Jorge, que acabou negociado com o Fluminense para 2023.

Neste ano, tanto o técnico Abel Ferreira quanto a presidente Leila Pereira trataram esses jovens como reforços para a temporada, somando forças aos principais jogadores que formam a espinha dorsal do time. Ou seja, sem a responsabilidade de resolverem qualquer problema, mas sim de agregar valor a um consistente grupo, que já conquistou seu primeiro troféu em 2023.

Santos segue com DNA revelador, mas situação financeira obriga a queimar etapas

Conhecida por revelar craques do futebol mundial — vide Pelé, Coutinho, Pepe, Neymar, Rodrygo e outros — a base do Santos tem sido utilizada no time profissional para ‘tapar buracos’. Com arrecadação reduzida, crise financeira no clube e punições administrativas, os Meninos da Vila preenchem lacunas em um elenco com dificuldades de ser reforçado com contratações.

>Santos tenta quebrar tabu de mais de três anos em clássico com o Palmeiras

Os exemplos mais recentes são os atacantes Marcos Leonardo (19) e Ângelo (18). Destaques na base, ambos foram lançados na equipe de cima muito jovens para suprir carências do plantel: o centroavante estreou no profissional aos 17 anos, enquanto o ponta fez sua primeira partida com apenas 15 anos.

Além de preencherem as carências do time muito cedo, o Peixe conta com a venda de jovens para compor seu orçamento. Em 2022, o Conselho Deliberativo previu um superávit de R$ 20 milhões, que só seria alcançado se o clube arrecadasse R$ 76 milhões em negociações. O Peixe se aproximou da meta, impulsionado pela saída do zagueiro Kaiky — de 19 anos e formado no Alvinegro — para o Almería (ESP), por R$ 37,5 milhões.

O Santos foi o clube brasileiro que mais lucrou com vendas de jogadores na última década, de acordo com levantamento do site Transfermarkt, e grande parte foram atletas da base. Entre os 30 integrantes do atual elenco santista, 15 são formados no clube, exatamente metade.

With Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo all options to play centrally with Joshua Zirkzee to cover, the Danish striker was told to leave the club; however, Hojlund was eager to fight for his spot and was not keen on leaving the 20-time English league champions after just one year.

PSG won their first Super Cup in a scenario that seemed beyond their control, before Ramos came off the bench to score a late equaliser as the French side overturned a 0–2 deficit before winning 3-2 on penalties. After the match, the saviour of the Parisian club made a decisive announcement about his future, confirming he will remain at the club this season.

Tottenham controlled the match for nearly 85 minutes, with PSG struggling to trouble the English defence. Then Luis Enrique introduced Ramos, and moments later, the Portuguese striker burst into the box to head home a powerful cross from Ousmane Dembele. A precise, crisp move right in stoppage time brought PSG level with Spurs at the very end of the match. Ramos then confidently slotted home his penalty in the shootout, confirming his decisive role in the final. 

The Portuguese international played 22 Ligue 1 matches, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists last season. He had sent a direct message after the intense game that puts an end to the rumours of his departure. While interest from Newcastle and Saudi Arabia offered tempting alternatives, the 24-year-old insists he is fully focused on the club’s ambitions. His decision comes at a crucial moment for PSG, who are balancing domestic dominance with a renewed push for Champions League glory.

WHAT RAMOS SAID

Since his arrival in 2023 from Benfica, Ramos has often started big matches on the bench, a situation that could frustrate many players. But not this time. Speaking in the mixed zone, he first explained: "My entry? I'm ready when the team needs me. When I receive the ball like that, I score."

When asked about his future, he was clear: "Yes, I confirm that I am staying this season."

    Plenty of players from Terry's era have gone into coaching in recent years, with the likes of Xabi Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Mikel Arteta among others getting manager roles. However, Terry has admitted he is "baffled" by some of the jobs certain figures in football have managed to snare ahead of him. 

  • WHAT TERRY SAID

    Terry told : “I’m done in terms of coaching. I’m enjoying my life, I’m working in the Chelsea academy.

    “I went for a couple of jobs and those days are gone for me. I’m enjoying my life a little bit, I’ve got my time to myself, I play a bit of golf, I’m in the academy and I have some family time as well.

    “I absolutely wanted it. When I went into Villa I got great experience under Dean Smith and we got promotion, which was incredible. 

    “As an assistant coach in the Premier League and the experience I’ve had as a player and an individual captain in both Chelsea and England, I thought that would be enough to get me a job. 

    “I’m not saying a job in the Premier League or the Championship – but a job at League One level. 

    “I didn’t even get a sniff. I had interviews and it was just ‘you have no experience’. 

    “When I see some people managing today, it baffles me, it really does. 

    “In terms of ‘am I frustrated’, yes, absolutely because I have a lot of good attributes to be a really good coach or a really good manager but, unfortunately, that’s not happened.”
