وقرر حكم اللقاء أنتوني تايلور، إيقاف المباراة وطالب الجميع بالخروج من ملعب المباراة، بسبب الطقس السيئ في مدينة نيو جيرسي.

ويلتقي الأهلي مع بالميراس، على أرضية ملعب “ميت لايف” بمدينة نيويورك الأمريكية، ضمن لقاءات الجولة الثانية من مرحلة المجموعات.

ويتواجد الأهلي في المجموعة الأولى ضمن منافسات كأس العالم للأندية، رفقة أندية إنتر ميامي الأمريكي، وبورتو البرتغالي وبالميراس البرازيلي.

وقال حسام غالي، في تصريحات لقناة إم بي سي مصر: “أعتقد هذا التوقف في مصحلة الفريق، الجو كان صعبًا، اللاعبون ارتاحوا، شوط أول جيد وبعد ذلك حدث هبوط مستوى في الشوط الثاني نتيجة نقص بدني وعدم تركيز”.

وتابع: “متبقي 25 دقيقة أتمنى الفريق يعود بدنيًا أقوى ومعنويًا ويكون لديهم رغبة في التعادل، لو رجعنا ستكون معجزة”.

Having bid farewell to Champions League-winning coach Carlo Ancelotti, another familiar face has been welcomed into the dugout at Santiago Bernabeu. Former Blancos midfielder Alonso has returned to his homeland after overseeing title glory during his time at Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.

World Cup winner Alonso is understandably keen to put his own stamp on a side that surrendered domestic and continental crowns in 2024-25. More movement on the transfer front is expected, while legendary playmaker Luka Modric is leaving as a free agent.

DID YOU KNOW?

It is in the middle of the park that Bellingham operates – with a further 14 goals and as many assists added to his tally in the season just gone – and he will be pulled back from a No.10 berth under Alonso in a bid to make the most of his energy in Real’s engine room.

Alonso has told reporters of Bellingham: “He can be special anywhere because he’s a special player. His eruption is that of an era-defining player for Real Madrid. He’s 21 years old I think and will be fundamental to the club’s future projects.

“The feeling I get is that he is in a good place and good moment to work with him. I see him as a midfielder. We’ll try to make him as efficient as possible.”

O confronto entre Flamengo e Athletico ficou marcado por polêmicas de arbitragem. Com reclamações para os dois lados, a arbitragem de Luiz Flávio de Oliveira e Wagner Reway foi muito questionada. Dessa forma, a Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) divulgou os áudios do VAR.

It’s going to be a significant one for David Moyes this afternoon, with Everton hosting West Ham United at Goodison Park.

West Ham, with whom Moyes lifted the Conference League in 2022/23, haven’t been great this season, sitting level on points (33) in the Premier League with the resurgent Toffees.

Both sides’ problems were illuminated in the reverse fixture: a drab goalless draw played out four months ago in east London.

However, this is a different Everton. Moyes might have his share of injury problems to deal with, but there’s little question his team have the capacity to score a huge victory against the Hammers.

Everton's injury news

Everton might be suffering from a raft of absentees but they have also gone seven matches unbeaten in the Premier League under Moyes.

The 61-year-old manager did issue a pre-match update on several players, with Iliman Ndiaye, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dwight McNeil all approaching full fitness. None will be ready in time for this weekend, however.

Michail Antonio won’t return this season after his accident, while summer signings Niklas Fullkrug, Crysencio Summerville also remain sidelined.

Charly Alcaraz may be gunning for a start over Abdoulaye Doucoure, but Moyes actually has an alternative option to replace the veteran, and he should put some thought into picking him.

Why Moyes should drop Abdoulaye Doucoure

Fresh from being awarded the Premier League Manager of the Month award for February, Moyes will need to make a big call, with Doucoure perhaps not the best option in between the base of midfield and the frontline.

The 32-year-old is still a hard-working and combative player, but Tim Iroegbunam’s cameo at Molineux last weekend highlighted the increased output last summer’s recruit brings through central phases.

Signing from Aston Villa for about £10m, Iroegbunam has only started four league matches this season, returning from a long layoff after Moyes’ arrival and since featuring from the bench.

Iroegbunam actually ranks among the top 17% of midfielders across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for assists, the top 9% for successful take-ons and the top 1% for tackles per 90, as per FBref, with that lattermost metric coming into play at Wolves.

Doucoure led the press well before being replaced for fresh legs. Iroegbunam, however, staked his claim. Despite playing less than half the Malian’s minutes, he almost saw more of the ball, was crisper in possession and unrelenting in defensive moments.

The Athletic’s Patrick Boyland had described Iroegbunam as the “standout” of Everton’s season in the early knockings before he was cruelly sidelined with an ankle injury for more than three months.

While Alcaraz was also lively off the bench, he may have to wait here, unless Moyes wants to rotate his trusted base layer in Idrissa Gueye and James Garner.

Iroegbunam’s creativity, athleticism and tough-tackling approach could be perfect against a West Ham team with a midfield there for the taking.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  As Chelsea continued to struggle to dominate Manuel Pellegrini's Real Betis through the first half, Maresca decided to bring James on at half-time in place of Malo Gusto. The Blues' substitutions, along with Los Verdiblancos' drop off in the second half, helped Maresca's side go on to grab a massive four-goal comeback to clinch the Europa Conference League title with a 4-1 win at Stadion Miejski. The Italian coach has now explained why he decided to leave James on the bench for the start of the clash.

  Speaking to the media, Maresca said: "I promise you, I would always start with Reece. But I’m trying to protect him. He’s a top player for us. It’s like Cole, the problem is we need to manage him. When we changed him, he said to me, 'Boss, don’t worry, we’re going to win the game'."

Bangladesh-born fast bowler goes straight into XI to face Surrey in County Championship

ESPNcricinfo staff18-May-2023

Arafat Bhuiyan, a British-Bangladeshi seam bowler, has become the seventh graduate of the South Asian Cricket Academy (SACA) to sign professional terms, after joining Kent for the remainder of the 2023 season.Bhuiyan was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, but has UK residency, and has taken 17 wickets for Kent’s second XI, including best figures of 4 for 81 against Hampshire earlier this month. He made his first-class debut in Kent’s ongoing fixture against Surrey at the Kia Oval.He currently plays his club cricket in the Kent Premier League for Blackheath, and has also featured for Surrey, Essex and Derbyshire’s Second XIs in the past six years, as well as stints for MCC’s Young Cricketers side in 2019, and SACA this year.”I’m over the moon to have signed for Kent,” Bhuiyan said. “It’s a dream come true to become a professional cricketer and I feel all my hard work has paid off.”I’m grateful to Kent, especially Second XI Coach Mark Dekker, for the faith they have showed in me, and hope I can perform well if given the opportunity.”Bhuiyan moved to Birmingham to be part of SACA’s winter training programme, and credited that experience for fast-tracking his professional ambitions.”I would also like to thank Dr Tom Brown from SACA for giving me the opportunity to train and for accommodating me during the Winter in Birmingham,” he said. “I can’t speak highly enough about the amount of work he is putting into this programme.”Kent’s Director of Cricket, Paul Downton, added: “Arafat comes highly recommended from our pathway coaches and has impressed with his pace and control with the ball for us this year. He brings much-needed depth to our bowling attack as we head into a busy period of the season.”

With just 11 games to go in the Championship campaign this season, Leeds United currently sit three points clear of Sheffield United in their hunt to secure promotion – but doing so whilst winning the title.

The Whites’ form has been superb for large parts of the campaign, losing just three games to date, whilst also remaining unbeaten since the beginning of December.

Daniel Farke deserves a huge amount of credit for keeping the side competitive after numerous key departures over the summer after the play-off final defeat at Wembley.

The German will be looking to make it three second-tier title wins in England in the coming months, adding to the two he claimed during his time in charge of Norwich City.

However, if he is to achieve such a feat, he will likely rely on one player who’s so often produced the goods in the final third over the last couple of months.

Joel Piroe’s stats for Leeds in 2024/25

The striker role at Elland Road has been one that has brought about conversation over recent years, with numerous players struggling to fill the void in Yorkshire.

However, over the last few months, Dutchman Joel Piroe has nailed down the starting role in Farke’s side, repaying the boss for the faith shown in him to lead the line.

The 25-year-old has already netted 16 times in his 35 appearances, already scoring outscoring his tally from his debut campaign at the club following his £10m move in 2023.

However, Piroe hasn’t had his success without his doubters, often coming under fire for his displays, but it’s safe to say the supporters are reaping the rewards with his recent form in the final third.

Despite his impressive run for the Whites in recent times, he’s still valued lower than one player who the club may regret offloading after his form away from the club.

The former Leeds star who’s worth more than Piroe

Before their recent success over the last couple of years, Leeds found themselves in a tricky financial situation, which saw them offloading numerous first-team players to balance the books.

Lewis Cook was just one example who departed his boyhood side for just £6m, now starring for Bournemouth in the Premier League and potentially featuring in Europe amid the Cherries’ recent form.

However, another player who previously plied their trade in Yorkshire but is now playing in the top flight is winger Jack Clarke, who made his breakthrough for the Whites back in the 2018/19 season.

The now 24-year-old departed in an £8.5m deal to join Tottenham Hotspur after his breakthrough campaign but failed to make a single Premier League appearance during his time in North London.

He’s since recaptured his form at Sunderland, registering 28 goals and 21 assists for the Black Cats, leading to Sky Sports’ Dougie Critchley dubbing him “sensational” for his time at the Stadium of Light.

He’s since moved to Ipswich Town, once again joining a Premier League outfit, but has struggled to carry his excellent form to Portman Road, registering three goals and five assists to date – but has still seen an increase in his market value.

Clarke is now valued at £12.4m by Transfermarkt, a figure that is higher than that of Piroe, who’s only valued at £11.5m despite his excellent goalscoring record this campaign.

Given the increase and recent form in England’s second tier, Leeds must regret parting ways with Clarke, potentially having another dimension in attack had they kept hold of the youngster.

Undoubtedly, he left at a time when financial problems were present in Yorkshire, but his ability in the final third could’ve provided the added cutting edge in their quest for promotion in the coming months.

Two of the ODIs Ireland were supposed to play in Sri Lanka were replaced by a Test, allowing them to make the switch

ESPNcricinfo staff03-Apr-2023Paul Stirling will join Ireland’s Test squad in Sri Lanka, and be available for selection for the second Test.Stirling, who went back to Ireland from Bangladesh after the white-ball leg of the series, and will miss the one-off Test starting on April 4, has become available for Test cricket following alterations in Ireland’s schedule. Stirling explained to the last week that he had opted to sit out of Ireland’s Test commitments this year to give himself a chance to rest amid a “jam-packed” 2023 schedule, but left scope for his plans to “change or evolve” in the way they now have.Ireland’s tour to Sri Lanka initially consisted of a Test and two ODIs, but the hosts’ attempt to get more red-ball experience led to the two ODIs being replaced by an extra Test. Both the Tests will be played in Galle between April 16 and 28.Ireland tour of Sri Lanka

1st Test – April 16-20, Galle
2nd Test – April 24-28, Galle

“Paul was originally set to join the squad in Sri Lanka for the ODI series that was originally planned. However, with those fixtures now converted to a Test match, and the scheduled Bangladesh T20I series in Ireland postponed, he will now have a greater focus on red-ball cricket and will join the Test squad for that second Test,” Andrew White, Cricket Ireland’s national men’s selector, said in a statement.Stirling, who has played all three Tests Ireland have played to date – all in 2018 and 2019 – is one of Ireland’s busiest cricketers, playing in various short-format franchise leagues around the world.Stirling’s presence will certainly add a lot of experience to Ireland’s line up. For the Dhaka Test against Bangladesh, their squad has nine uncapped players, of whom three have never played first-class cricket. There are also only four survivors from their last Test.

Celtic are in a strong position to sign a new playmaker who is keen to make the move to Parkhead, according to a new report.

Rodgers looking to bounce back from Rangers defeat

Celtic remain firmly in charge in the race for the Scottish Premiership title, though their final game before the international break ended in tears with a defeat to bitter rivals Rangers.

The Gers soared into a 2-0 lead before Brendan Rodgers’ side bounced back to level the scores in the second half through goals from Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate.

Just when it looked like they were about to complete an astonishing turnaround, Rangers’ Hamza Igamane hit a stunning winner in the 88th minute, thrashing the ball into the top corner from just outside the Celtic area.

Speaking after the defeat, Rodgers urged his side to bounce back and apologised to the club’s fans.

“Firstly, the message to the supporters is, we apologise because we always want to win games here and against our big rivals, so, for them, it’s not a great feeling,” he said. “In every facet of the game, we have to be much better, and if you’re going to be a champion this year, you’ve got to go and show that you’re a champion and you’ve got to earn it.”

He added: “So there are eight games to go, with 13 points, but we’ve got a lot of big games to play.”

Celtic in race to sign O'Sullivan

Even though Celtic will likely end the season as Scottish champions, Rodgers is still keen to bolster his side in the summer’s transfer market – even if it only means being able to avoid another defeat to their rivals next term.

And according to The Athletic, as relayed by the Nottingham Post, the Hoops are firmly in the running to sign Irish teenager Cathal O’Sullivan, who is also attracting interest from Nottingham Forest.

Cork City’s O’Sullivan only turned 18 in early March, but already has a wealth of experience under his belt, having made 30 appearances for Cork at senior level, and is also a regular for the Republic of Ireland’s Under-19s.

While The Athletic reports that it is Forest who are first in line to land the teenage attacker, O’Sullivan himself has suggested he one day would love to play at Parkhead.

In a recent interview with the Irish Examiner, O’Sullivan said: “Yeah, it’s definitely an ambition because obviously the link with Ireland and Celtic. It’s a huge club, massive club so yeah, I would love to go over and play for a club like Celtic.

“I love watching their games and how impressive their Champions League run was this year, and my dad is the same,” he added. “My dad supports Celtic if they’re on the TV. There’s a connection between Ireland and Celtic or Cork and Celtic, there’s a huge amount of fans over here.”

Manchester United officials have set their sights on signing a player from West Ham United this summer, with Red Devils officials under the impression that he’d suit Ruben Amorim down to the ground.

Players tipped to leave West Ham this summer

Aaron Cresswell, Vladimir Coufal, Danny Ings and Michail Antonio are all out of contract at the London Stadium this summer, meaning Graham Potter, co-chair David Sullivan and Hammers transfer chiefs could be forced to orchestrate a serious summer rebuild.

Carlos Soler is also set to return to PSG after his east London loan, as things stand, with no official decision made on whether West Ham will trigger the £17 million option to buy in his temporary deal, while there are some reports that Jean-Clair Todibo could be sold right after his obligation to buy from Nice gets activated.

Lukasz Fabianski will leave on a free at the end of this season if West Ham don’t activate the one-year extension clause in his contract as well, which would put an end to the Pole’s seven-year stay at the club.

Lucas Paqueta’s future remains uncertain, amid rumours that clubs in Brazil are interested in poaching the midfielder as he battles spot-fixing allegations off the field.

Mohammed Kudus has been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool ahead of the next transfer window, and there are suggestions that the Ghanaian’s contract includes an £85 million release clause which will become active this summer.

Kudus has apparently shown frustration behind-the-scenes at West Ham, and was unsettled during Julen Lopetegui’s brief tenure in charge. However, it is very debatable whether clubs will be prepared to pay £85 million for his services later this year.

Meanwhile, amid his excellent loan spell at Real Sociedad, defender Nayef Aguerd is believed to be attracting attention from elite clubs.

West Ham defender Nayef Aguerd attracting Man United interest

Real Madrid have already expressed interest in Aguerd, with the Morocco international standing out as Sociedad’s best performer by average match rating over 19 La Liga starts this campaign, according to WhoScored.

The 28-year-old is making a real success of his stint in La Liga, and Sociedad are believed to be attempting a permanent deal for the centre-back before next season.

However, as per a Spanish media source, Imanol Alguacil’s side will face stiff competition from Old Trafford.

Indeed, Man United are plotting a move to sign Aguerd from West Ham this summer, and the club are said to be convinced that the African would slot into Amorim’s system perfectly.

However, as per other reports, Aguerd won’t come cheap to suitors following his brilliant 2024/2025 campaign. West Ham will apparently demand around £42 million to sell Aguerd, which would give Potter’s side a £12 million net profit on the player after they paid £30 million to bring him in from Rennes on a five-year contract in 2022.
