كان ليفربول قد تقدم بهدف عن طريق النيران الصديقة، في الدقيقة الأولى، بعد خطأ فادح من الحارس إيميليانو مارتينيز.

كشف مصدر بـ اتحاد الكرة المصري عن تراجع مسؤولي الجبلاية عن مخططه بشأن مساعدي فيتور بيريرا رئيس لجنة الحكام.

ويتولى فيتور بيريرا مهمة إدارة لجنة الحكام منذ الموسم الماضي، خلفًا للإنجليزي مارك كلاتنبرج.

وعلم “بطولات”، أن مجلس إدارة اتحاد الكرة كان قد اقترب من اتخاذ قرار برحيل مساعدي فيتور بيريرا مع الإبقاء على ثنائي فقط من مساعديه؛ ولكنه تراجع عن قراره.

وكان يميل مسؤولو الجبلاية إلى رحيل محمد فاروق وحمدي القاضي ومجدي رزق، تحديدًا بعدما زادت أزماتهم مع معظم الحكام، وتفضيل اثنين من الأعضاء الأربعة الآخرين للبقاء مع بيريرا ومساعدته.

ولكن الاتحاد تراجع عن قراره حتى لا يخلق أزمات مع هؤلاء الحكام وخوفًا من هجومهم على الجبلاية في وسائل الإعلام.

Liverpool defender Joel Matip has failed to impress after his performance during the 4-3 friendly defeat against Bayern Munich.

What’s the latest on Liverpool vs Bayern Munich?

Playing in their penultimate pre-season game at the Singapore National Stadium, the Reds were coming up against the German giants.

Things started really well, too, with Cody Gakpo opening the scoring after just two minutes before new captain Virgil van Dijk then added a second before the half-hour mark.

However, despite leading 2-0, Jurgen Klopp’s men had been pegged back to 2-2 before the halftime whistle. Indeed, Serge Gnabry pulled one back first, before Leroy Sane equalised in the 42nd minute.

Unfortunately, it appears as though Matip did not really cover himself in glory for either goal as he essentially made the same mistake twice.

For the first goal, a good pass from Kim Min-Jae found Serge Gnabry in far too much space, as the German got away from Matip before finding the back of the net – as you can see in the footage below.

Shortly afterwards, Gnabry and Bayern again exploited the exact same part of the pitch before Sane was teed up to level the scores.

Once again, Matip looked exposed and vulnerable, unable to close down the space sufficiently to cut out the danger – as you can see in the footage below.

It doesn’t make for pretty viewing a number of fans on Twitter quickly jumped to some damning conclusions about the defender.

Here are some of the strongest reactions…

How many games has Joel Matip played for Liverpool?

Of course, it is only a friendly but it seems as though some Liverpool fans have lost all faith in Matip, which might seem harsh considering he’s been a great servant for the club.

After all, since joining from Schalke 04 on a free transfer in 2016, he’s played 187 times for the Reds, winning so much along the way.

Indeed, in the seven years he’s been at the English club, he’s lifted the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup and the Club World Cup.

Still, now 31 years of age, maybe his best years are behind him and having struggled with fitness issues throughout his time at Anfield so far, those injuries may have taken their toll.

Perhaps with that in mind, Klopp will go back into the market once again before the summer is up with the hope of trying to find another central defender.

Of course, the Reds were hoping to sign Levi Colwill but he’s recently agreed to sign a new contract with Chelsea. Despite that blow, in a report by the Times‘ Paul Joyce, it is claimed that Klopp “would ideally want to sign a defender this summer.”

Taking all that into account, it does seem as though Matip’s position in the team isn’t quite as secure as it might have been in seasons past.

For now, though, the defender will hope to win over those who have their doubts. Unfortunately, after his mistakes in the friendly, Liverpool ultimately slumped to a 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich, with Frans Kratzig netting a winner in the 91st minute of the match.

Joe Clarke guided Worcestershire to safety at Cheltenham as their director of cricket Steve Rhodes raged that Gloucestershire “wanted it all ways”

Paul Edwards at Cheltenham12-Jul-2017
ScorecardJoe Clarke’s quality prevented a Worcestershire slump•Getty Images”Ten to five,” said Stuart Cummings at twenty past twelve and we all knew what the ECB’s Cricket Liaison Officer meant. Once most of the third day of this game had been lost and any collusion between the teams ruled out, an agreed draw at the earliest opportunity always seemed the likeliest outcome. Yet we reached our destination by a circuitous route, tarrying to admire each of the Slaughters rather than taking the M4 to Tedium New Town. There was no agreement on the draw at all until ten to six, when nine overs remained to be bowled and the shadows were generous on the College Ground. And even after the result was agreed, there was concord about damn all else.Worcestershire’s players began this day disgruntled that Phil Mustard would not enter into negotiations yet ended it grateful to take five points for a draw. Presented with the notional challenge of scoring 370 in 51 overs, the visitors had collapsed to 47 for 4 but finished on 155 for 5. Their anger remained fresh and keen when the post-match beers were being sunk. It was expressed by the county’s director of cricket, Steve Rhodes, who voiced his disappointment that Gloucestershire had rejected all offers to set up a run-chase.”We were extremely disappointed that there was not going to be a situation where we could fix up some sort of reasonable game for the crowd that turned up and for the two groups of players,” said Rhodes. “It seemed as though Gloucestershire wanted it all ways. They wanted to get as many runs as they could, quickly in the end after a boring start, and then try to bowl us out in a short space of time. Perhaps they are now ruing the fact that they didn’t have another hour at us and it may be something they consider next time. If they had given us 70 overs to bat, we might have had a real problem hanging on for a draw.”Given the difficulties Worcestershire had encountered, home supporters were reluctant to criticise their side’s tactics. Had it not been for Joe Clarke, who came within seven runs of scoring his third championship hundred in five innings, the visitors may well have been leaving Cheltenham only eight points clear of third-placed Kent instead of 13. Even as it stands, the race for the promotion places in Division Two actively involves half the ten clubs.Clarke hit 15 boundaries in his 93 not out but what was rather more impressive was the security of his defence when facing the 80 other balls in his innings. Certainly this was in notable contrast to the porous techniques exhibited by the rest of Worcestershire’s top order.The visitors lost Brett D’Oliveira and Tom Fell in their first three overs, both batsmen being leg before to the left-arm seamer, David Payne, when playing across the line. Daryl Mitchell and George Rhodes were then bowled by Liam Norwell, Mitchell when playing down the wrong line, Rhodes when playing no shot at all. Ben Cox put on 63 runs in nine overs with Clarke before being leg before on the back leg to Kieron Noema-Barnett. It was left to Ross Whiteley to bat out another 16 overs before Phil Mustard offered the draw and the post-match brouhaha could get under way.In truth, Worcestershire’s players had been irritated with Gloucestershire in general and Chris Dent in particular since the opening half-hour of the day. John Hastings and Josh Tongue made their displeasure plain with a series of short deliveries to Dent, and Leach supported his bowlers by posting six slips and a gully when the left-handed Dent faced Hastings. Indeed, the Gloucestershire opener took something of a battering and received a painful blow on his forearm from Tongue.Dent, though, is made of gritty stuff and withstood this trial by fire. He played the straight balls, avoided the wide ones and wore a few on his body when the moment demanded it. Will Tavaré was the first Gloucestershire batsmen dismissed when he was hit on the knee roll by Ed Barnard and departed unhappily for 32. Dent reached his fifty off 143 balls, hitting three boundaries in six balls immediately prior to reaching that landmark. As if to acknowledge that the temper of the exchanges had changed, Leach brought on the spinners, although a need to raise his team’s over-rate from -2 may have been the captain’s prime motivation in doing so.That change was expensive. The 20 overs bowled by Brett D’Oliveira and George Rhodes either side of lunch and they cost 142 runs. Dent took 43 balls over his second fifty and reached his century with a sweep for four off Rhodes. It was a remarkable and well-earned transformation for the batsman who had been ducking and weaving in the first hour of the day. Gareth Roderick also tucked in merrily, making 81 off 95 balls before being bowled having a pre-declaration swipe at Tongue.Dent returned to the college pavilion – a building modelled on a 19th century Indian railway station, so they say, – with 135 runs against his name. It had been a most valiant innings yet its full value was at that point unclear. As things turned out, Dent’s unbeaten century did not set up Gloucestershire’s third victory of the season. Instead it was the prelude to a disharmony which hardly seemed fitting as the evening sunlight dappled the hills above Prestbury and one savoured the wonderful discovery that there is a cricket club in Adlestrop

Chris Woakes’s participation in the remainder of England’s Champions Trophy campaign could be in doubt, after he picked up a side strain during the tournament opener against Bangladesh at The Oval

Andrew Miller at The Oval01-Jun-2017Eoin Morgan, the England captain, admits that his satisfaction at an otherwise emphatic victory over Bangladesh in the opening match of the Champions Trophy has been tempered by a side strain sustained by Chris Woakes, which threatens to rule him out for the rest of the tournament.Woakes had come into the match nursing a tight quad that led to his omission from the final two matches of England’s recent ODI series against South Africa, but he looked in fine fettle as he opened the campaign with a maiden to Bangladesh’s Tamim Iqbal.However, he bowled just one more over in his spell before leaving the field for treatment. He will undergo a scan on his left side this evening, but Morgan is already braced for bad news from England’s medical team.”He’s obviously been very impressive for us over the last couple of years, and a mainstay, a very reliable guy,” Morgan said. “And it is a worry when he goes off the field and can’t come back on and bowl.”Though it is too early to say how the injury will impact on Woakes’ involvement either in the remainder of this match, or England’s subsequent group games against New Zealand on June 6 and Australia on June 10, side strains are notoriously difficult injuries for fast bowlers to shake off.A typical recovery can take between four and six weeks, especially if the injury involves damage to the intercostal muscles, because even when fully recovered, fast bowlers in particular find it hard to hit the crease with their usual aggression, for fear of suffering a relapse.Were that the case, it would rule Woakes out of the entire tournament, and leave him in some doubt for the start of England’s Test series against South Africa as well, which gets underway at Lord’s on July 6.”Side strains are a big confidence thing, aren’t they?” said Morgan. “Yeah, he would definitely be a loss if he couldn’t play.”Morgan denied, however, that Woakes had suffered for being rushed back into action before he was fully recovered from his quad niggle. “He was chomping at the bit to play,” he said. “If we rushed him, he might have played the last game of the one-day series but we didn’t want to rush him.”Woakes’ injury isn’t the only issue undermining England’s previously settled Champions Trophy squad. Ben Stokes came into the match nursing a knee injury that limited his ability to bowl in the South Africa series – although he showed no signs of discomfort in his seven overs today – while Joe Root also picked up a calf injury in the course of his match-winning 133 not out.”Joe is all right,” Morgan said. “He wasn’t in extreme pain. It was manageable, so given that we have four days between now and the next game, hopefully he’ll rest up well and be fully fit.”The size of England’s victory masked a few concerns beyond the fitness issues. Jason Roy endured another day to forget, making just 1 from 7 balls to extend his fallow run at the top of the order, while Jake Ball, surprisingly included in place of the legspinner Adil Rashid, struggled for consistency as his ten overs were dispatched for 82 runs.However, Morgan reiterated his unequivocal support for Roy, adding that he had been unlucky to fall to an impressive catch at short backward square leg from Mustafizur Rahman.”It was quite smart, bowling a slower bowl from the opening bowler, and brave,” Morgan said. “It was a big gamble. But that sort of stuff can happen. You can get out in that sort of fashion when you’re short on runs. But yeah, certainly we believe in him.”On the subject of Rashid’s omission – which seemed to go against the team ethos of selection continuity – Morgan insisted there were two separate issues to consider.”We felt Bangladesh probably would have preferred to play against a lot more spin, as opposed to four quicks, and obviously Ben [Stokes]. So that contributed to how we wanted to balance the side and how we saw them playing. Their top three batters are lefties, and the possibility of getting Joe [Root] or Mo [Ali] on early was an option.”With the batting, obviously you can’t ask guys to go out and play positive cricket and whack it everywhere – there’s an element, a high-risk element – and then drop them as soon as they are lacking runs. On previous teams, that has happened and we don’t want it to happen.”We want to reinforce confidence so the guys can go out and we can make 300 an easy score to get, by playing real positive cricket. And contributing to that, both as a captain and coach, and selectors, by backing your own players up.”

Liverpool have been strongly linked with a move for Federico Valverde this summer and now a new update has emerged on the club's pursuit of the player.

Is Federico Valverde joining Liverpool?

According to reports in Spain earlier this week, the Reds are keen on bringing the Uruguayan to Anfield this summer.

It's said that Jurgen Klopp is obsessed with the idea of signing him and believes the player would fit perfectly into his tactical set-up.

As a result, Liverpool are preparing an offer of €90m (£77m) in an attempt to bring him to English football.

An offer at this expense will seem incredibly unlikely owing to FSG's tight spending structure and would make the Los Blancos talent the club's record-breaking signing ahead of Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker and Darwin Nunez.

How good is Federico Valverde?

There is no doubt that Valverde would be an incredible asset in the centre of the park for Liverpool and should an opportunity arise to snap up the midfielder's services, it is one that should not be ignored.

The 24-year-old Champions League winner is one of the hottest prospects in his position across Europe; ranking in the top 16% of his positional peers across the top five European leagues for non-penalty goals, shots on goal, pass completion and progressive carries.

Owing to his attacking strengths, Valverde – hailed a "monster" by football talent scout Jacek Kulig – could be the perfect player to partner new signing Dominik Szoboszlai next season – causing chaos alongside the Hungarian ace to form an unstoppable threat and boost creativity to provide huge chances for their teammates in the final third.

Over last season, the Uruguay international displayed some key attributes that could complement Szoboszlai's weaknesses in his game, as Valverde is a much more prolific and confident ball-winner proven in his aerial duels won (73.8% v 28%), successful take-ons (70.5% v 50.5%) and dribblers tackled rate (50% v 40.5%), as per FBref.

Comparatively, the newly-signed Liverpool star was much more efficient in breaking the lines of attack to play the final ball into the box with more shot-creating actions per 90 (5.52 v 2.91), goal-creating actions per 90 (0.63 v 0.50), more assists (8 v 4) and a better shot on target rate (48.3% v 33.3%), proving that combining the pair's best attributes could cover the entire path to the final third with ease.

It remains to be seen whether Valverde will be allowed to leave Real Madrid this summer as Carlo Ancelotti is a huge admirer of his player and has previously claimed that he is an "untouchable" member of his squad, however, the Italian coach is set to leave in 2024 upon the expiry of his contract after accepting the Brazil national team job, so there is a possibility he could sanction a move.

With that being said, it would be a no-brainer to snap up the services of Valverde this summer and if Jurgen Klopp can convince FSG to table the transfer fee required it could set up Liverpool's midfield for years to come.

West Ham United play one of the biggest games in their history this evening – their first European final since 1976 will take place when they face Fiorentina in Prague.

The Europa Conference League has been an important source of distraction and confidence during a troubled domestic season.

The Hammers ended the term with inconsistent results, winning four and losing as many in the final eight games of the campaign.

However, most importantly, this run included two vital victories of AZ Alkmaar to ensure progression to the final hurdle.

David Moyes and his squad know there is no room for error and complacency – so after naming a rotated side against Leicester City in the previous game, the Scotsman is expected to revert to his strongest lineup.

How will West Ham line up against Fiorentina?

There could be as many as four changes from the 2-1 defeat to the Foxes.

In goal, Alphonse Areola has started every game in this competition, keeping six clean sheets in 12 outings, and will take over from Lukasz Fabianski.

The centre-back pairing is expected to be Nayef Aguerd and Kurt Zouma, as the former Chelsea ace will replace Vladimir Coufal in a reshuffled backline. The Frenchman has the highest average Sofascore rating (6.68) of any Hammers defender this season and his European experience could be crucial this evening.

This alteration will see Thilo Kehrer move across to right-back instead of Coufal, where the former Paris-Saint Germain man has performed admirably in recent weeks. Aaron Cresswell will retain his place at left-back.

Unsurprisingly, club captain Declan Rice will begin the encounter in what is likely to be his final appearance for the Irons, amid reports that he will join a Champions League outfit this summer.

The third change will see Tomas Soucek come in for Flynn Downes. The 6 foot 4 titan has made 49 appearances this season and is one of Moyes’ most trusted assets, even if he has been "woeful" at times, as per talkSPORT's Tom Rennie.

The ridiculously talented Lucas Paqueta will start behind the striker. The Brazilian has flourished in recent weeks, notably bagging an assist against Leeds, and his intricate creativity could be vital.

The reliable pairing of Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen will start on the wings. The latter was rested in the recent loss to Leicester but is Moyes’ preferred option to the "unbelievable" Pablo Fornals, as described by the Independent's Karl Matchett.

The £50k-per-week Spaniard is likely to still be involved in some capacity off the bench, especially after netting the winner in the away victory over AZ Alkmaar in the semi-final second leg.

Whilst Michail Antonio, who is the club’s top scorer (13) in all competitions this season, will keep his spot up top.

Predicted West Ham XI (4-2-3-1): Areola; Kehrer, Zouma, Aguerd, Cresswell; Rice; Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma; Antonio.

An update has emerged on Glasgow Rangers and their efforts to add to their wide options in the upcoming summer transfer window…

What's the latest on Brian Gutierrez to Rangers?

According to the Daily Mail, the Light Blues are one of the teams keeping tabs on Chicago Fire starlet Brian Gutierrez with a view to a possible swoop.

The report claims that a number of Premier League sides, including Manchester United, have taken an interest in the 19-year-old talent, whose performances have caught the eye of clubs in Europe.

Although, it is stated that a work permit would be difficult to achieve for the ace and that could rule out a move to England, with RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund among the other teams set to challenge the Gers for his signature.

What is Brian Gutierrez's style of play?

The teenager is a creative forward who predominantly plays on the left wing and is also often deployed as an attacking midfielder and this suggests that the dynamo could be Michael Beale's dream heir to Ryan Kent.

Rangers lost the English winger at the end of last month, when his contract at Ibrox expired, and this has left a hole in the squad that needs to be filled ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.

In 22/23, Kent produced three goals and ten assists in 44 appearances in all competitions for the Gers and was able to showcase his creative quality out wide.

The former Liverpool man produced 2.2 key passes per game in the Scottish Premiership and this shows that he was able to regularly open up the opposition's defence to provide his teammates with opportunities to score.

Beale could now unearth his new Kent by securing a deal to sign Gutierrez ahead of the likes of Dortmund and Leipzig as the teenager has shown terrific potential during his time in the MLS with the Fire so far.

The 19-year-old has provided 15 key passes and created four 'big chances' for his teammates in 12 MLS starts in 2023 and this comes after he racked up 26 key passes and five 'big chances' created in 20 starts in 2022.

Gutierrez, who MLS announcer Max Bretos hailed as "special", has also excelled in the US Open Cup and caught the eye by creating a stunning 12 chances in three appearances in the competition in 2022 and 2023 combined.

These statistics show that the wizard, who has only scored two senior club goals, has the potential to be a Kent-like threat for Rangers on the left wing by consistently opening up the opposition with his passing and crossing quality to provide his teammates with chances to score.

At the age of 19, the gem could be a long-term heir to the Englishman and a player who Beale could work with over the course of number of seasons, though, instead of coming in with the expectation of immediately hitting the ground running.

Manchester United are plotting a move for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo, according to a recent report from The Telegraph.

Who is signing for Man United?

According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, Man United are "pushing" to sign Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, with Erik ten Hag giving the green light, however rivals Liverpool are also interested in signing the 24-year-old.

As such, the Red Devils could reignite their interest in Caicedo, having been linked with the Brighton star back in May, with The Telegraph now reporting they are one of a number of Premier League clubs currently plotting moves.

Chelsea and Arsenal are also named as potential suitors for the Ecuadorian, while Liverpool could also enter the race, depending on the finances involved, having already swooped for his teammate, Alexis Mac Allister.

Brighton are demanding more than £70m to part with the midfielder, with interest in his signature now beginning to intensify, having rejected a bid of £70m from Arsenal in the January transfer window.

Although they were unwilling to part with the 21-year-old in the previous window, Brighton are willing to let him leave in the coming weeks, having sealed qualification for next season's Europa League.

Who will Moises Caicedo sign for?

According to a report from Ecuadorian news outlet Teradeportes, the youngster "dreams" of playing in the Champions League, which means Man United could have an advantage over the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea in the race for his signature.

However, the same report details the central midfielder has already "agreed personal terms" with Arsenal, viewing a move to the Emirates Stadium as his "priority" this summer, so the Red Devils have a lot of ground to make up on the Gunners.

Should United manage to tempt the Ecuador international into a move to Old Trafford, there is plenty of evidence he could be an excellent signing, having been hailed as "unbelievable" by members of the media last season.

The most impressive aspects of the starlet's game are his defensive attributes, ranking in the 89th percentile for interceptions, and in the 87th percentile for tackles per 90 over the course of the past year, when compared to his positional peers.

Caicedo could be a solid signing for Man United, perhaps as a long-term heir for Casemiro, who is now 31-years-old, however Ten Hag's priority is a striker, so it may be unwise to spend a significant amount of the budget on a defensive midfielder.
