أوضح إيلكاي جوندوجان سبب اختياره رقمًا جديدًا لقميصه مع مانشستر سيتي بعد عودته مجددًا للفريق الإنجليزي.
وأعلن مانشستر سيتي عودة جوندجان إلى الفريق قادمًا من برشلونة، بعد عام من رحيله عن ملعب “الاتحاد”.
جوندوجان اختار ارتداء القميص رقم 19 مع مانشستر سيتي، بعدما كان يرتدي الرقم 8 والذي يرتديه الآن ماتيو كوفاسيتش.
واختار جوندوجان القميص رقم 19 وعلّق على اختياره قائلاً في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي”: “كان هناك القليل من التفكير وراء ذلك، كان الرقمان 21 و22 متاحين أيضًا”.
وأضاف: “كنت أرتدي الرقم 22 في العام الماضي في برشلونة و21 في المنتخب الألماني لكنني لم أفز بأي ألقاب بهذه الأرقام”.
وأشار: “لذلك اعتقدت أن الرقم 19 يقع بين 18 و20، صديقي برناردو سيلفا وستيفان أورتيجا لذلك قد يكون هذا علامة، لقد قررت ذلك، دعنا نرى”.
وأتم: “آمل ألا يكون الرقم هو الذي سيكون له تأثير كبير، آمل أن تكون الطريقة التي ألعب بها وأتصرف بها والطريقة التي سنكون بها كفريق، أؤكد لكم أننا سنبذل قصارى جهدنا للفوز بمزيد من الألقاب “.
Allrounder returns to scene of ‘worst performance’ in 2015 ready to embrace senior spinner status

England could face some tough selection decisions after a first look at the Kensington Oval surface suggested less help for seamers than was anticipated.Despite much of the talk in recent weeks suggesting the pitches in this series would be full of pace and carry, England have turned up to find a mottled surface that appears to be both damp and crumbling. While West Indies officials claim it will quicken and improve as it dries and the match wears on, it currently appears likely to be a little on the slow side. As a consequence, the chances of selecting two spinners has probably increased substantially.They will probably delay any final decision until the morning of the game, given that the warm, windy weather could dry the surface pretty quickly, but it does seem, at present, that England may have to select between Sam Curran and Stuart Broad for the final seam-bowling spot. Curran’s superior batting – and, perhaps, his youth – may well give him an edge in selection, though Broad continues to impress in training.The identity of the second spinner is not certain, either. While Jack Leach, who finished the Sri Lanka series as England’s equal highest wicket-taker (he and Moeen Ali both claimed 18 in the three Tests) remains the favourite, Adil Rashid’s ability to produce wicket-taking deliveries on flat surfaces means he is under consideration, too. He is also a better batsman. The wickets in the nets at the Oval turned – and bounced – substantially for the spinners, though the middle surface is not expected to provide such extreme assistance.One man who does seem certain to play is Moeen. He is returning to the scene of what he believes is his worst performance as a bowler in an England shirt, but does so sounding more confident in his bowling than ever before.On a slow, low surface Moeen – playing as the only spinner and preferred to the steady James Tredwell despite having only recently returned to the side after injury – claimed 2 for 110 in England’s most recent Test in the Caribbean, here in 2015. In the process, he went at a fraction under five an over, as West Indies won the Test to square the series.”I’ve bowled poorly a lot of times, but that was probably the worst I ever bowled in an England shirt and I want to put that right,” Moeen said on the outfield in Barbados on Monday. “I’d just come back from injury and I was the only spinner. I bowled badly.”But where Moeen has, in the past, talked about his bowling with some diffidence, he appears to have growing belief in his abilities. And perhaps that is not surprising as he now has 163 Test wickets – only 20 men have ever taken more for England – and, after a tough winter in Australia last year, he bounced back with good series against India (12 wickets at 21) and Sri Lanka (18 wickets at 24.50) in the second half of 2018. In the process, he has gone past the wicket tallies of some of the most respected spin bowlers in the history of English cricket; the likes of Hedley Verity, John Emburey and Fred Titmus.As a result, the talk of him playing as England’s second spinner – a psychological ploy that was designed to lessen the pressure upon him – has decreased and he is happy to accept an increased role as a bowler.”I’m not too fussed about being the second spinner anymore,” he said. “Maybe before I was, but now I just try and focus on myself and if someone else plays I try to help them out as much as I can. I’d be fine with playing as the only spinner.”When you hear about the records and the people you’ve passed it gives you confidence. I’ve passed some really good spinners for England.”Thinking better of myself might improve me. I’ve got to do that rather than almost hide behind saying I’m a second spinner. I’ve got to face it and deal with it”I feel like I’m at the best age now. I’m 31 and I’ve played quite a bit for England. I feel I am getting, as a spinner, towards my best. I feel like I’m genuinely getting better.”He also seems to have accepted that he may be at his most useful for the team in a lower, middle-order spot. He struggled while batting at No. 3 in Sri Lanka – he scored three runs in two innings in the first Test – and acknowledges that England probably require a different answer in future series.”At this particular moment in my career, I don’t have the patience I used to,” he said. “I did try to bat a long time and it doesn’t mean I can’t do it. But now I think I’m more use to the side coming in down the order and having more responsibility as a spinner. We need a proper No. 3 for the Ashes.”
Após cinco partidas como desfalque, Rodrigo Caio enfim está próximo de voltar a atuar pelo Flamengo. No treino da manhã desta sexta-feira, o zagueiro deu mais um passo e participou de todas as atividades com o restante do elenco. A informação foi divulgada inicialmente pelo jornal “O Dia” e confirmada pelo LANCE!.

A tendência é que Rodrigo Caio seja relacionado e volte ao time titular ao lado de Arão diante do Corinthians, no próximo domingo, às 16h (de Brasília), no Maracanã. Após boas atuações nas últimas rodadas, Gustavo Henrique deve ficar como opção no banco de reservas.
A última partida disputada por Rodrigo Caio foi contra o Palmeiras, em 21de janeiro. Na ocasião, ele sentiu dores na coxa e foi substituído aos 32 minutos do primeiro tempo. Ele foi desfalque nas cinco partidas seguintes – contra Athletico, Grêmio, Sport, Vasco e Red Bull Bragantino.

Allrounder suffers injury while chasing ball to boundary, as West Indies toil in the field

West Indies suffered a significant injury blow on the third morning of the third Test in St Lucia, when Keemo Paul, their impressive young allrounder, had to be stretchered from the field after damaging his right quadriceps. He is not expected to bat in their second innings*.The incident occurred in the fourth over of the morning, when Paul set off in pursuit of a Joe Denly cover-drive off Shannon Gabriel. After initially sprinting at full tilt, Paul pulled up suddenly ten metres from the rope, and fell to the ground as soon as he had left the field of play.He continued to receive treatment behind the boundary as play continued, before being wheeled around the perimeter of the ground to sympathetic applause, and was replaced by the substitute fielder, Jomel Warrican.West Indies announced soon afterwards that Paul had suffered a right quadriceps strain, and later said he had been sent for scans, along with Darren Bravo, who did not take to the field all day after injuring his finger earlier in the match.Those scans revealed a significant tear which is likely to prevent Paul playing any part in the ODI series that follows the Test series. While West Indies said he could bat in an emergency in the second innings of the Test, he is most unlikely to do so with the match situation rendering such a gesture largely futile.It was a cruel end to a very impressive performance from Paul, who came into the St Lucia match as a replacement for West Indies’ captain, Jason Holder, following his suspension for a slow over-rate in Antigua.Paul struck with his first ball of the Test to remove Keaton Jennings in England’s first innings, en route to creditable figures of 2 for 58, and he repeated the dose with his first ball on day three, as Rory Burns clipped a loosener to square leg.*February 12, 1615 GMT – This story was updated with news of Paul’s scan

Manchester United are interested in signing a central talisman to replace Casemiro in January, according to a reliable journalist.
Casemiro receives offer to leave
According to The Daily Mail, Casemiro, Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial have all been made available for transfer next month, with the club’s football director John Murtough having travelled to Saudi Arabia to tout potential suitors.
The Red Devils’ defensive midfielder is believed to have recently received an offer from a mystery club in that particular country, so should he indeed seal a departure in the coming weeks, Erik ten Hag will have to go on a hunt to find a suitable replacement.
Everton’s Amadou Onana appears to have been highlighted as a possible candidate, with the 22-year-old having emerged as Sean Dyche’s second best-performing defensive player so far this season (WhoScored – Everton statistics).
The Belgium international is a long-term target of the hierarchy having reportedly held talks to join over the summer, and while a deal failed to come to fruition before the deadline, chiefs are considering taking a second bite of the cherry to bring him to Old Trafford.
Man United keen on Onana
Taking to X, Sebastien Denis revealed that Man United want to sign Onana, but they aren’t alone in their pursuit with Barcelona also in the race to secure his services in January.
“Exclusive: Amadou Onana impresses in the Premier League and could leave the Toffees next summer or even this winter. Everton is asking for between 55 and 60 million € [£47-51m]. Barca has already met the midfielder's entourage. Manchester United still very interested in the former Lille player.”

Onana is a "one-man army" in the centre
Standing at 6 foot 3, Onana brings a completely different dimension to the centre of the park with his height, where he's not only strong at winning his individual battles in the air, but he also loves to get stuck into challenges to try and win back possession for his team in the Premier League.
Onana's Statistics Per Game This Season (WhoScored)
Aerial Wins – 2.8
Tackles – 2.5
Clearances – 1.1
Pass Success Rate – 85.4%
The Dakar native is additionally capable of making a positive impact at the opposite end of the pitch having scored three goals and provided the same number of assists since joining Everton last summer, with his desire to get involved both defensively and offensively making him a well-rounded player (Transfermarkt – Onana statistics).
Ten Hag’s target is even a versatile operator having been deployed in five different positions following his arrival on the professional scene, including three roles in the midfield, as a centre-back and even at centre-forward, so he would be able to provide fantastic cover in other areas of the pitch.
As described by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, Onana is a “one-man army” because of all of the things that he can do at once, so should the board be able to get this deal over the line in the coming weeks, it would be a massive coup for Ten Hag.
The New Zealand pacer said their attack adjusted well to the lack of help from the conditions and Tamim Iqbal’s onslaught
Mohammad Isam in Hamilton28-Feb-2019It can be back-breaking to bowl one short ball after another, peppered across 16.2 overs on a relatively warm day. But Neil Wagner has made it his life’s calling to bowl at batsmen’s bodies, intimidate them, bother them and threaten them eventually into a dismissal. On the first day of the Hamilton Test, his plan worked as he picked 5 for 47, his sixth five-wicket haul in Tests, as Bangladesh fell away from a fine start to be bowled out for 234.The rewards for Wagner were not immediate, but towards the end of the lunch break, his persistence got him Mominul Haque caught down the leg side. As most bowlers will tell you, one brings two. Immediately after lunch, Mohammad Mithun’s ill-judged hook shot cost him his wicket, while Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan and Liton Das all fell to Wagner too.Neil Wagner rejoices after a wicket•Marty MelvilleAFP/Getty Images
It might seem over-bearing at times, but when it works, it really works. Wagner’s method is robust and physical, and he said that to keep at it can be difficult. But when the catches are taken, it feels like just reward.”In Test cricket it’s something that’s been quite successful and worked a little bit,” Wagner said. “It is tough doing it. It’s not easy on the body and obviously you’ve got to keep consistently trying to do it, and on the day it’s got to come off. But credit to all the guys. The catching was phenomenal – the big blue sky like that with a bit of wind around, it takes some serious catching. Our group has been phenomenal at that over the years as well.”The five-wicket haul came after New Zealand had to endure a superb Tamim Iqbal century, which initially gave Bangladesh the advantage as they went to lunch at 122 for 2. Wagner said that trying to bowl away from Tamim didn’t work, so they had to find other ways to bowl dot balls to him. “We obviously tried to take the ball away from him a little bit. I think he’s obviously quite strong square of the wicket and he showed that even with the ball swinging.Watch NZ v Ban Live

“He played some glorious shots through the covers and square of the wicket so we knew we had to change our plan to him and try to dot him up in a way because he was scoring quite quickly too. He was putting a lot of pressure on us and trying to find a way of getting him off strike and we did that quite well I think and we got the rewards for it.”I thought Bangladesh batted very well. Tamim obviously batted extremely well and for him to come on a day when you think the ball is going to go round and do a bit, to hit us off our lengths and play as strongly as he did shows obviously the quality of the player and how well he played. He made it quite hard for us and we had to fight hard to get those wickets and get ourselves back into the game. I thought we did that really well.”Wagner said that conditions vary quickly in New Zealand, which could put a bowler off his rhythm. The last time Bangladesh were in the country, in Wellington two years ago, it was so blustery that Wagner, the fielders and the batsmen had difficulty in standing straight. However, in Hamilton on Thursday, Trent Boult and Tim Southee found little movement in the air and they had to change their plans to get the Bangladesh batsmen out.”Conditions are so different in New Zealand. If there is less wind or more wind or if the sun is out, there’s a big blue [sky], or if there’s a bit of moisture around, if it’s humid it can swing around,” Wagner said. “It didn’t really do as much today as we thought it would and the wicket obviously played a lot better than we thought it would play.”So there’s wasn’t as much movement but it showed the quality of the group as well to assess that and get ourselves back in the game. I thought we did that really well and obviously got the rewards for it.”

Sheffield Wednesday are believed to be interested in signing an "exciting" player currently on the books of a Premier League club, according to journalist Alex Miller.
Sheff Wed survival hopes & transfer news
The Owls made a dire start amid their return to the Championship earlier in the season, with life under Xisco Munoz going disastrously and a swift return to League One looking likely. But Wednesday have been revitalised since the impressive Danny Rohl came in as manager, with survival now feeling more possible by the week.
EFL Championship done deals: Every January 2024 transfer
As the January transfer window closes, FFC has you covered for every in and out involving your club in the EFL Championship.
ByLuke Randall Feb 1, 2024
Rohl's side have won three of their last five league games, jumping to 22nd place in the table in the process, and they are now only three points adrift of Huddersfield Town directly above them.
While things are going swimmingly for the Owls all of a sudden, there is still plenty of work to do in the relegation fight, and new faces during the January transfer window could give the manager the added depth and quality that he craves.
Wednesday have been linked with a move for Birmingham City striker Scott Hogan, with the 31-year-old struggling for playing time at his current club, only starting nine matches in the Championship so far this season. Newcastle United midfielder Isaac Hayden is also reportedly seen as an ambitious transfer target – one that could bolster Rohl's choices in the middle of the park greatly.
Sheff Wed want Conor Coventry
Taking to X on Friday, Miller claimed that Sheffield Wednesday are keen on the idea of snapping up West Ham ace Conor Coventry this month, though they aren't the favourites to snap him up.
"Understand Wednesday are admirers of 23yo West Ham midfielder Conor Coventry. Lots of interest in the ROI youth international who could leave this month – Owls not believed to be front-runners at this stage."
Coventry could be a really astute signing by Wednesday if they can strike a deal for him, and the fact that West Ham seem willing to sell him in January does act as a boost for Rohl.
The 23-year-old is currently out on loan at Rotherham United, who sit bottom of the Championship at the moment, but a return to the London Stadium could happen if a permanent move is on the cards.
Coventry is someone who has been hailed as an "exciting talent" by journalist Roshane Thomas in the past, while David Moyes has also praised him, saying:
"He is doing great and we like him a lot. He had a chance to go out in the summer, and he had a couple of good clubs [interested], but we like having him because he’s such a good boy."

ByKelan Sarson Jan 4, 2024
This outlines the pedigree that Coventry has, considering he has played in the Europa League for the Hammers, and he is someone who could come straight in as an important player, especially with Barry Bannan not getting any younger, and the likes of George Byers and Will Vaulks often in and out of the team through injury.
