Warwickshire held up by rain as Hampshire fight to stave off innings defeat

Rain held up Warwickshire’s charge for a three-day victory

John Sheldon22-Apr-2001Rain held up Warwickshire’s charge for a three-day victory. Hampshire were forced to follow-on 285 behind and then slumped to 114 for four before drizzle set in early in the afternoon.They still needed 171 to make Powell’s team bat again and the loss of 60 overs in all probably saved them from a defeat inside three days on their first appearance in the Second Division of the CricInfo Championship.New overseas signing Vasbert Drakes quickly closed down the first innings by taking the last two wickets with a catch by Keith Piper to remove James Hamblin and another at slip by Dominic Ostler to dislodge Neil Johnson for 43.When Hampshire batted again, Piper claimed his fifth dismissal of the match – holding a thin edge from Giles White off Alan Richardson – and Drakes struck again with Ostler’s assistance in grabbing a slip chance from Will Kendall.But Derek Kenway moved to a half-century in 75 balls and put on 75 with Robin Smith before Dougie Brown reinforced Warwickshire’s challenge with wickets in successive overs. Kenway (52) and Johnson (0) were both caught by Ostler at first slip, leaving Smith unbeaten on 41 when the rain arrived.Probably the most cheering news for Hampshire – and they have not had much to shout about so far – was Smith’s return to form.After scoring only two runs in three pre-season matches in South Africa and four in the first innings here, he reached an unbeaten 41 from 78 balls. In the process he picked up five fours and pulled Neil Smith for six.

Eight games off in opening weekend of Southern Electric Premier League

BAT Sports and Bashley (Rydal) get the newly-sponsored Southern Electric Premier League under way at Southern Gardens on May 5 – despite the wettest winter on record, which led to the postponement of eight scheduled opening day fixtures in the three

Mike Vimpany05-May-2001BAT Sports and Bashley (Rydal) get the newly-sponsored Southern Electric Premier League under way at Southern Gardens on May 5 – despite the wettest winter on record, which led to the postponement of eight scheduled opening day fixtures in the three divisions.The only ECB Premier 1 fixture cancelled was Calmore’s home match against South Wilts, which was called off in midweek due to a saturated Loperwood Park outfield. The Division 2 games at Cove and United Services were called off, along with the Premier Division 3 games at Hook & Newnham Basics, Leckford, Lymington, Paultons and Winchester KS.BAT had the Indian Sign over their New Forest opponents last season, beating Bashley in both the 50-over and all-day `time’ format games.Both clubs introduce new players, with BAT calling up Hambledon regular Australian import Dave Carson and Bashley giving Adelaide-based Andy Loader his first taste of Premier League cricket.Carson, a prolific run scorer for Hambledon during the past two seasons, enjoyed a successful winter season in New South Wales, notching 569 runs and snapping up 23 wickets in the Sydney A-Grade competition.Former Romsey pair Andy Hayes and Richard Taylor also make their BAT debuts.Bashley, hit by the absence of Luke Ronchi, who has won a place at Australia’s prestigious Commonwealth Bank Academy, include former Wimborne skipper Richard Knowles in their line-up.Defending champions Havant are without Andy Perry against seriously weakened Hungerford at Havant Park. Perry fears he could miss the entire season after dislocating his shoulder.Havant give a debut to Perth-based Shane Gillies, from Paul Terry’s Melville club, but Hungerford start the season without several of their previous SL championship-winning side.Their notable absentee is paceman David Pryke, who has returned to his native South Africa.Other notable departees are prolific left-hander Jim Ettridge, Stuart Wyatt and Duncan Johnson, last year’s captain.But Wales all-rounder Alex Barr, who spent last year in Australia, is back for Hungerford, who arecaptained by ex-Sussex and Middlesex opener Toby Radford.Hampshire 2nd XI wicketkeeper Iain Brunnschweiler will be handed an important opening role at Andover, who host Burridge at London Road.Andover finished fourth last season and, wicketkeeper Ian Williams (retired) apart, have retained all of their previous side. Bournemouth’s Neil Staddon has the gloves.Hampshire medium-paceman James Hamblin makes his Burridge debut.Bournemouth could field the most potent pace attack of the lot, with Devon’s Paul Warren partnering Aussie swing merchant Peter Waite, from South Perth. A former Glamorgan player, Warren has already been amongst the wickets for his West Country Minor County this season.Liphook & Ripsley, visitors to Chapel Gate, have lost their New Zealand import Mayu Pasupati, who grabbed over 50 wickets in last season’s successful Premier 2 title drive.Former Hampshire duo Matthew Keech and Lee Savident would have made their respective debuts for Portsmouth – but for the Burnaby Road surface to be unplayable.Pipped by Liphook & Ripsley to the title last season, Portsmouth are hot favourites to land the Southern Electric Premier Division 2 crown.Hampshire coach Jimmy Cook has also sent his 18-year old son Stephen to play under Raj Maru at Southsea this summer. Cook junior, who played several games for Flamingos last summer, was capped by South Africa Under-19s in New Zealand this winter, and made a SuperSport 4-day Series half-century for Gauteng at The Wanderers Test ground in February.United Services, who merged with PCS Cormorants this winter, have snapped up another young South African, John Geoghegan, who ironically plays in the same King Edward’s School team as Stephen Cook.Trojans face newly promoted Easton & Martyr Worthy at Stoneham Lane, while Sparsholt were set to include former US and Winchester opener Rob Savage, but Cove’s pitch was unfit.Old Tauntonians & Romsey visit Hambledon, with Lymington travelling to Old Basing, last season’s Premier 3 champions.Winchester KS, relegated for failing to comply with the Premier League’s strict youth development criteria at the end of last season, are expected to be far too strong for their Premier 3 rivals.But a waterlogged River Park pitch meant that they had to sit out the scheduled Premier 3 opener against new boys Flamingos at River Park. Off-spinner Oliver Green has joined Calmore Sports, but the return of talented left-hander David James, from Australia, has given the city club an enormous boost.The postponement of the match at Leckford has given Stuart Charman’s back injury time to heal, but left Hampshire left-hander Jimmy Adams kicking his heels for his St Cross Symondians debut.

Trauco exalta entrosamento com Guerrero em sua estreia pelo Fla

MatériaMais Notícias

Se, de uma maneira geral, em todo começo de temporada há um problema em relação a entrosamento da equipe, ao menos para dois jogadores rubro-negros esse quesito não será uma pedra no sapato. Companheiro de seleção peruana, Trauco e Guerreiro, logo na primeira partida oficial no ano, já demonstraram que podem, juntos, dar muitas alegrias à torcida.

O primeiro gol na vitória de ontem foi com cruzamento de Trauco
e cabeçada do camisa 9. Guerrero ainda fez mais um gol no confronto,
enquanto Trauco, deu assistência para Diego e também balançou a rede uma vez.

– Já o conheço da seleção. Ele sempre me procura em campo. O ti-
me está se entrosando e, por ser a primeira partida, acho que fomos
bem – afirmou Guerrero.

O atacante também foi peça essencial na chegada de Trauco no Flamengo para a temporada de 2017.

– Estou muito contente pela vitória. Ela vai para a torcida. O Guerrero me deu muita confiança. Foi importante essa estreia – ressaltou o lateral, que substituirá Jorge, vendido ao Monaco (FRA).

بالأرقام | سكاي سبورتس: كلوب يغامر باستبعاد محمد صلاح من مباراة ليفربول ومانشستر سيتي

يخوض ليفربول مباراة هامة ضد مانشستر سيتي يوم الأحد ضمن منافسات الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، مع وجود فارق نقطة واحدة بين الفريقين مع تصدر فريق بيب جوارديولا للترتيب.

لم يسجل محمد صلاح لليفربول منذ فبراير – فهل يجب أن يهتم يورجن كلوب بمستوى المهاجم المصري قبل رحلة النادي الحاسمة إلى مانشستر سيتي يوم الأحد؟.

يواصل ليفربول مطاردة مانشستر سيتي على قمة الدوري الإنجليزي، حيث يتخلف عنه بفارق نقطة واحدة، وتتبقى 8 مباريات فقط هذا الموسم.

ونشرت شبكة “سكاي سبورتس” تقريرًا مطولاً لمناقشة مستوى محمد صلاح قبل اللقاء المرتقب أمام مانشستر سيتي.

يسافر ليفربول لمواجهة مانشستر سيتي مع علامات استفهام معلقة على صلاح، الذي على الرغم من تصدره جدول ترتيب هدافي الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، بعد أن سجل 20 هدفًا في 28 مباراة حتى الآن هذا الموسم، إلا أنه بدا باهتًا في الأسابيع الأخيرة.

لا يزال يتعين على صلاح الموافقة على عقد جديد في ملعب أنفيلد، على الرغم من انتهاء عقده الحالي في صيف عام 2023، بينما عانى مؤخرًا من حزن مزدوج مع منتخب بلاده بعد خسارة نهائي كأس الأمم الأفريقية بركلات الترجيح أمام السنغال، ثم فشل التأهل لكأس العالم وبخسارة أخرى أمام نفس الخصم.

كل هذا أدى إلى الكثير من عدم اليقين مؤخرًا بشأن مستقبل صلاح في ميرسيسايد، بالإضافة إلى فقدان نسبي للشكل أمام المرمى، يعني أن كل الأنظار ستكون على اللاعب يوم الأحد الكبير.

وتساءلت “سكاي سبورتس” في تقريرها، مع كل هذه العوامل هل ينبغي على جماهير ليفربول القلق بشأن محمد صلاح؟. هل خسر صلاح حقًا ميزته الهجومية؟

عندما دخل صلاح في خط دفاع تشيلسي الذي لا يمكن التغلب عليه عادةً ليسجل منافسًا على هدف الموسم مرة أخرى، على ملعب ستامفورد بريدج في مطلع العام، كان هناك عدد قليل من المهاجمين في كرة القدم العالمية الذين يمكن أن يدعي بشكل معقول أنهم متساوون معه.

كان اللاعب البالغ من العمر 29 عامًا قد استمتع بنصف أول رائع من الموسم ليصبح أول لاعب من ليفربول يسجل صافي 10 مباريات متتالية عندما سجل ثلاثية في مباراة فريقه التي فاز بها ليفربول 5-0 في مانشستر يونايتد في أكتوبر.

صلاح حقق رقمًا قياسيًا بعدد أهدافه مع الريدز، حيث فعل ذلك في عدد أقل من المباريات – 151 – مقارنة بأي لاعب آخر في النادي ثم توجه إلى كأس الأمم الأفريقية في أوائل يناير.

ومع ذلك، منذ عودته من البطولة في بداية فبراير، بدا الأمر وكأنه صراع قليل بالنسبة لصلاح، الذي سجل خمسة أهداف في 10 مباريات قبل فترة التوقف الدولية في مارس – لكن ثلاثة منها كانت من ركلات الترجيح، بينما، بشكل لا يصدق لم يتمكن المهاجم الذي يتمتع بالحدة الشديدة عادة من هز الشباك في اللعب المفتوح منذ فوز ليفربول على نورويتش في 19 فبراير.

ليس ذلك فحسب، بل قام يورجن كلوب أيضًا باستبدال نجمه بعد 69 دقيقة و61 دقيقة في كل من آخر مباراتين لليفربول ضد واتفورد وبنفيكا على التوالي.

ومع ذلك، يصر كلوب على أنه لا يوجد ما يدعو للقلق مع صلاح، الذي يمر للتو بمرحلة عابرة بعد عبء العمل الشاق الأخير لكل من النادي والمنتخب، وقال المدرب الألماني مؤخرًا عندما سئل عن مستوى صلاح: “ربما لم يسجل من اللعب المفتوح أو أي شيء آخر، ربما من ركلة جزاء هنا أو هناك، هذا ليس مهمًا للغاية”.

وأضاف: “مستوى الأداء مهم بالنسبة لي، والتهديد الذي يمثله للفرق الأخرى كيف يجمع اللاعبين معًا في اللحظات التي يحصل فيها على الكرة، ربما يكون لاعبان أو ثلاثة لاعبين يذهبون إليه في هذه اللحظات”.

وواصل: “في بعض الأحيان يمكنه أن يقرر بطريقة أفضل، ولا شك في ذلك، ويمرر الكرة بشكل أسرع وكل هذه الأشياء، لكنها فترة صعبة لساديو (ماني) وصلاح، مع كأس أفريقيا والعودة لنا على الفور مرة أخرى مع كل المباريات”.

الشيء الوحيد الذي لا يمكن إنكاره هو أن صلاح لديه القدرة على لعب الكثير من المباريات في هذه المرحلة من الموسم.

ولعب المهاجم، الذي نادرًا ما يُصاب، في 28 مباراة من أصل 30 مباراة في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز حتى الآن هذا الموسم، بينما شارك أيضًا في جميع مواجهات دوري أبطال أوروبا التسع، بالإضافة إلى فوزه في نهائي كأس الرابطة على تشيلسي، بإجمالي 3156 دقيقة.

لكن هذا لا يأخذ في الحسبان ظهوره مع منتخب مصر، الذي مثله في كل من مباريات كأس الأمم الأفريقية وتصفيات كأس العالم هذا العام.

غالبًا ما يقتصر تحديد عودة ليفربول على وصول كلوب وتعاقده مع فيرجيل فان دايك وأليسون، ولكن هناك أيضًا محمد صلاح، انضم إلى الريدز مقابل 39.5 مليون جنيه إسترليني في صيف عام 2017، وشرع الفريق في تأمين المركز الثاني على التوالي في المراكز الأربعة الأولى ووصلوا إلى نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا في ذلك الموسم.

منذ ظهوره لأول مرة مع النادي، سجل صلاح 115 هدفًا في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز – أكثر بنحو 15 هدفًا من هاري كين، وقدم 43 تمريرة حاسمة، وذلك في 14470 دقيقة شارك بها.

قدم ثلاثة لاعبين فقط مزيدًا من التمريرات الحاسمة: كيفن دي بروين وزملائه في الفريق ترينت ألكسندر-أرنولد وأندرو روبرتسون، الذين أصبحوا أيضًا لاعبين أساسيين في الفريق الأول خلال موسم صلاح الأول على ملعب آنفيلد.

يستمر المصري في الهيمنة على الرسوم البيانية أيضًا، هذا الموسم، يقود صلاح الطريق مرة أخرى برصيد 20 هدفًا في الدوري.

ما يجعل عودته أكثر خصوصية هو كيف تم تحقيقها من قبل لاعب متمركز بشكل أساسي في الجهة اليمنى.

يشتهر صلاح بالقوة ولم يبدأ أساسيًا في 18 مناسبة من أصل 182 مباراة محتملة في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز منذ انضمامه إلى النادي.

مع الالتزامات مع مصر في كأس الأمم الأفريقية تعني أنه بدأ الآن 35 مباراة للنادي والمنتخب في جميع المسابقات وكان هناك تراجع.

كان معدل صلاح يبلغ 0.71 هدفًا بدون ركلات الجزاء في كل مباراة حتى أوائل ديسمبر، لكن هذه النسبة تراجعت ثلاث مرات إلى 0.21 فقط منذ ذلك الحين، وينطبق أمر مماثل على التمريرات الحاسمة أيضًا.

ومع ذلك، فإن عوائده المتوقعة في كلا المقياسين ظلت ثابتة أو تحسنت بالفعل، مما يشير إلى أن تفوقه الإكلينيكي قد تضاءل منذ فترة الأعياد.

وصل معدل صلاح للأهداف التي لم يتم تسديدها من ركلة جزاء إلى الحضيض للمرة الأولى هذا الموسم، لكن الانقطاع المفاجئ ليس مدعاة للقلق بعد هذه البداية القوية للموسم، ولن يستبعد استعادة مستواه أمام مانشستر سيتي. هل يستطيع كلوب تحمل إراحة محمد صلاح في مواجهة مانشستر سيتي؟

كل هذا يعني أن كلوب لديه الآن معضلة كبيرة في مواجهة يوم الأحد في الاتحاد – التمسك بمهاجمه الخاطئ، أو الجلوس على مقاعد البدلاء والذهاب مع رجاله الأكثر تألقاً؟.

يعتقد جون ألدريدج مهاجم ليفربول السابق أن صلاح يجب أن يبدأ المباراة على مقاعد البدلاء، وقال لشبكة سكاي سبورتس: “إذا كنت تسير وفق مستواك، فلن ينضم محمد صلاح إلى الفريق، بقدر ما هو جيد، بقدر ما هو رائع، بقدر ما نحبه، في مستواه الحالي، فهو يكافح”.

يتمتع كلوب الآن بمزيد من الخيارات الهجومية تحت تصرفه بعد إضافات ديوجو جوتا ولويس دياز، مما يعني أنه يمكن أن يبدأ عمليًا تحديد اللقب يوم الأحد بدون هداف الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، على الرغم من أنها ستظل تمثل مقامرة هائلة من جانبه.

ويعتقد جيمي كاراجر، المحلل في قناة “سكاي سبورتس”، أن محمد صلاح وكيليان مبابي مهاجم باريس سان جيرمان هما أفضل لاعبين في العالم حاليًا.

وقال: “أعتقد أن المقامرة بالنسبة لي ستكون بين محمد صلاح وكيليان مبابي، سيكونان هما اللذان سيقسمان الناس الآن بالطريقة التي يقسم بها ميسي ورونالدو الناس لسنوات عديدة”.

وأضاف: “لكن أعتقد أن الموسم يشهده صلاح، والأرقام التي حصل عليها مقارنة بأي شخص آخر في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، وهو أفضل دوري في العالم حاليًا، يظهر فقط مدى تقدمه على أي شخص آخر في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز”.

Liverpool linked to Rodrigo de Paul

Liverpool have been linked with a move for Udinese midfielder Rodrigo de Paul as Jurgen Klopp looks to rebuild his first-team squad this summer.

What’s the story?

The 27-year-old has impressed throughout his time in Serie A and was heavily courted by fellow Premier League outfit Leeds United 12 months ago.

However, De Paul ended up remaining at the Stadio Friuli, with his standout displays attracting the attention of Jurgen Klopp, according to Italian outlet FC Inter News.

Liverpool must swoop

The report claims that Liverpool have asked Mino Raiola for information on his client as the upcoming transfer window approaches, although they’re expected to face competition from Inter, AC Milan, Atletico Madrid and Leeds for his signature.

A fee of around £35m is expected to be enough to prize the Argentina international away from Udinese over the coming months, and his former manager Julio Velazquez was full of praise for the creative talent last year.

“His strength is intelligence on and off the pitch. On the pitch, he knows best what space to occupy and how to do it,” Velazquez told Gazetta Dello Sport (as reported by TuttoMercatoWeb).

“On an extra level, however, he understood how Udinese would have been the best place for him to grow. He lacks absolutely nothing, he could play in any club in the world.

“He has also improved on the defensive level, and in attack, he improves the team.”

De Paul didn’t let the collapse of his proposed move to Elland Road last summer slow him down, bagging nine goals and providing 11 assists in 38 appearances for Luca Gotti’s men.

The South American was pivotal to everything his side did in the attacking third, recording the most dribbles per league game (3.4) amongst his teammates, the most key passes (2.3) and the second-highest shots per league game with 2.3.

His arrival at Anfield could be the perfect replacement for the departing Gini Wijnaldum after the Dutch international joined Paris Saint-Germain following five incredible years on Merseyside.

Several names have been linked with Liverpool following the 30-year-old’s exit, but De Paul would be a perfect fit and bring bags of excitement to the Reds’ line-up.

The club’s hierarchy must swoop for Udinese wizard as Klopp attempts to return Liverpool to the summit of English football before another top team shows their hand.

Wright: You should have your best keeper in the side

Indian coach John Wright, captain Sourav Ganguly, Man of the match Anil Kumble and Zimbabwean captain Stuart Carlisle spoke to the press after India’s comprehensive innings and 101 runs win in the first Test at Nagpur

Staff Reporter25-Feb-2002Indian coach John Wright, captain Sourav Ganguly, Man of the match Anil Kumble and Zimbabwean captain Stuart Carlisle spoke to the press after India’s comprehensive innings and 101 runs win in the first Test at Nagpur.Deep Dasgupta’s continued poor showing behind the stumps has been a matter of concern in recent times. Speaking about the Indian wicket-keeper, Wright said, “He has to perform better. It is understandable that it is not easy to keep wickets like these which turn to this extent. But we have to perform better at the end of the day, he (Deep) has to take the chances.”A `keeper has a very important role when he is in a side which has quality spin bowlers. He has improved himself while standing behind, but standing up he has to improve drastically. He will be getting another chance and should work hard at doing better.”I don’t want to go into the selection matters, but at the end of the day, I would tell you, you should have your best `keeper in the side.”Fielding was one area in which the Zimbabweans proved to be better than the Indians and this did not escape the keen eyes of Wright.”As far as fielding is concerned, we have a long way to go. I’m very much impressed with the way Zimbabweans fielded and if we have to play overseas and against quality teams then I’m sorry to say, we have a long way to go. At the end of the day I would like to say that some of our best players are our worst fielders, that’s a fact,” the straight-talking Indian coach said.”I don’t know how I could change that. Basically, they need to field a lot better but sometimes people are at this part of their career that it is difficult to teach someone who has played for ten long years, how to dive,” he added.Wright also lauded Sanjay Bangar, who made a Test hundred in just his second Test at about the same time that another No. 7, Australia’s Adam Gilchrist, made the fastest double-hundred in Test history. “It is a nice thing for a team for the number seven batsman to come out and score a hundred.”Bangar might have succeeded in the most glorious fashion but VVS Laxman’s failure meant that a number of people were calling for the Hyderabadi stylist’s head. The former New Zealand captain was rousing in his defence of the star of India’s famous Test series win over Australia.”He is too good a player and there is no question about his ability. If you look at his last fifteen matches, he has an average of 43-44 but you have to look at his statistics. That delivery to which he got out in the first innings was very good. I have no doubts about his potential,” Wright said.Ganguly, for his part, agreed with his coach’s views, saying, “John has said it all, so I don’t have to go on saying something on the same topic.”Talking about the competition between Bangar and Sehwag, the skipper said, “Well, it is for the selection committee to decide. However, with Bangar serving us as an all-rounder, it will always be of great help.”Kumble, meanwhile, was happy with the way in which he and his colleagues bowled. “I think we did really well in the first innings. The second innings just happened to us. We had 280 odd runs to defend. I have always said that if the batsmen perform well, it makes our job that much easier.”It is good to bowl with Harbhajan in tandem. Like partnerships help a lot in batting, it is also the same for bowling. With Harbhajan and myself bowling from two ends, the task was much easier. bowled really well, though going wicketless. However, he got his rewards on the last day, scalping four wickets.”Carlisle, though, had no reasons to be as effusive as Kumble. His team’s batting failed twice on a batting paradise and that saw the Zimbabweans being thrashed. “Our batsmen have to get bigger scores. The Flower brothers have been struggling. They have to work hard and come back to their own selves.”The Zimbabwean captain was liberal in his praise for his left-arm spinner Raymond Price; the latter, if you remember, claimed 5 for 182 in India’s only innings.”I am very happy for Price. Streak bowled well too and full marks to (Trevor) Gripper in the second innings. Price is young and inexperienced but he did well. He should be getting to learn more and improve during the rest of the series. That’s one of the positives of this Test.”

West Ham: Ramsey would be a statement

West Ham United continue to be linked to Aaron Ramsey this summer…

What’s the word?

According to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, the Irons are among the front-runners to land the 64-cap Welsh international as his time at Juventus seems to be coming to an end.

They are facing competition from Premier League rivals Crystal Palace but a lot will have to be done to get him out of his reported €7m-per-year (£6m) contract at the Allianz Stadium.

It’s thought that West Ham have already tested the waters with an approach, so it now lies in the hands of David Moyes and the club’s hierarchy.

Biggest name since Payet

You get the feeling that this sort of signing would split opinion at the London Stadium.

On the one hand, it’s hard to make a case for a fairly injury-prone 30-year-old who is entering the twilight of his career but adding Ramsey would give the Hammers a player with vast experience of playing in Europe as they embark on a Europa League campaign.

Just this week, the former Arsenal man proved he still had that goalscoring touch from midfield, when latching onto a sublime ball from Gareth Bale to put Wales up against Turkey at Euro 2020.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-latest-west-ham-news-transfer-gossip-rumours-staff-gsb-moyes-updates-and-more” title= “Read the latest West Ham news, transfer rumours, gossip and more!”]

It was in North London that Ramsey quickly emerged as one of the Premier League’s best advanced playmakers, earning comparisons to the likes of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard.

He bagged 65 goals and provided another 65 assists in over 370 matches, in which he recorded a career-best of 13 goals and ten assists during the 2013/14 campaign, via Transfermarkt.

His 76 appearances across both European competitions could provide Moyes with something he’s lacking in abundance, too.

This is the sort of presence that the Irons once had in midfield when Dimitri Payet was at the club and Ramsey is, in our opinion, a much bigger name now than Payet was when he first arrived at the club in 2015.

West Ham have signed a lot of players in the last few seasons but none of those were, in the view of FFC, as high profile a player as Ramsey is now.

Once dubbed “complete” by ex-Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, and a “real leader” and “an outstanding technician” by BT Sport pundit Martin Keown, the Hammers must consider landing the Welsh international this summer.

Him playing alongside the likes of Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek would be a mouthwatering prospect in the Europa League.

O futebol capixaba em estado de sítio! Caos na segurança afeta Estadual

MatériaMais Notícias

As sequelas da paralisação de policiais militares no Espírito Santo, que ocorre desde sábado passado, chegaram aos gramados. Além de uma onda de violência e de medo se alastrar nas cidades, a ausência de efetivo já causou o adiamento de dois jogos da 2ª rodada e fez a Federação de Futebol do Espírito Santo (FES) transferir todos os cinco jogos da 3 rodada:

– A gente depende da normalização do policiamento para seguir a competição. Embora a Federação do Espírito Santo tenha uma ótima relação com a Polícia Militar, não sabemos como vai ser a prioridade na volta deles às ruas – afirmou Ana Mayka, assessora de imprensa da FES, ao LANCE!.

O planejamento dos clubes também foi afetado pela paralisação. Muitos retomaram suas atividades na quarta, quando as Forças Armadas chegaram ao estado, mas ainda lidam com contratempos:

– Estamos treinando com 18 dos 23 atletas. Cinco não conseguem transporte, por morar em áreas de risco. Infelizmente, um estado de vida tranquila está passando por isto – desabafou Rogério Pedrini, presidente do Tupy.

A chegada das Forças Armadas ao estado trouxe certa segurança ao Vitória: o CT Jayme Navarro, onde os militares estão aquartelados, fica próximo do Estádio Salvador Costa, onde a equipe treina e realiza suas partidas. O reforço na segurança do estado, porém, afetou o planejamento do Rio Branco:

– O Exército permitia que a gente treinasse no 38º Batalhão de Infantaria. Mas, como estamos em um clima de guerra civil, tivemos que mudar de lugar. Fizemos esta parceria com o Tupy para realizar treinos no Gil Bernardes. A polícia tem de retornar! – detalhou o técnico da equipe, Flávio Annunziatta.

À espera de um desfecho, a expectativa é de que o futebol prevaleça após o caos no estado.

Spurs legend drops verdict on Bale stay - exclusive

Former Tottenham Hotspur star Graham Roberts believes that Gareth Bale’s future depends on who the next manager is at the club.

Real Madrid superstar Bale is currently away with Wales at Euro 2020 following a season spent on loan with Spurs.

In total, he made just 10 starts in the Premier League under the management of Jose Mourinho but he still managed to score 11 goals, including a hat-trick against Sheffield United and braces versus Burnley, Crystal Palace and Leicester City.

Reports when Bale was signed on loan suggested that Spurs had the option to extend the deal by another season, should they so wish.

But it remains to be seen if Real will try to keep him, given that Carlo Ancelotti has been appointed as their new manager and has worked with Bale before.

Roberts thinks that the next manager at the club holds the keys to his future, though it is still not clear exactly who will be replacing Mourinho following his sacking in April.

Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, Roberts said: “I think he said on social media and everywhere that he will let the manager decide. If he wants him, he’s there, he’s prepared to do that, but if he doesn’t want him, the new manager, then Gareth will go back. It all depends on who we get.

“At the moment, we’re not getting anyone, are we? It’s just dragging on and dragging on, so we’ll just have to wait and see what comes about.”
