Lampard could give VDB a key role

Everton managed to get a loan deal over the line for Donny Van de Beek on Deadline Day, as the out of favour Manchester United star seeks first-team football elsewhere.

The temporary move doesn’t just benefit the midfielder’s future, but could be a crucial signing for the Toffees this season in their challenge to climb back into a safe position in the Premier League under new manager, Frank Lampard.

The 24-year-old has not been able to make his mark in the Premier League yet, with just five starts over his first 18 months at the Manchester club, but will be hoping that he can make an impact on the Everton side, especially with Abdoulaye Doucoure out for at least a month with an injury he picked up against Aston Villa, which saw him forced off the pitch in the 65th minute.

This has given Van de Beek, who was hailed “perfect” by Owen Hargreaves, the ideal opportunity and elevates his chances of making an instant appearance in the starting line up when the Toffees return to action this weekend in the FA Cup against Brentford.

New Everton boss, Lampard, has already been praised by the £35m midfielder in his first interview since joining the side yesterday;

“I had a really positive meeting with the new coach. We have the same ideas about football and he had a lot of influence on my decision,” Van de Beek explained.

“I played against him when I was at Ajax, and he was at Chelsea (as the manager), so he knows me as a player. He thinks I have qualities that can help the team.

“I can learn a lot from him because he was a little bit in the same position – a midfield player who scored a lot of goals.”

Van de Beek is not unproven in his potential and his talents, when you look at his career before he joined Manchester United, his record under Erik ten Hag at Ajax is absolutely phenomenal with 41 goals and 34 assists in 175 appearances from his midfield position, an output Lampard will be hoping that he can inspire the Dutchman to reignite at Everton.

The Chelsea legend now has the opportunity to further prove his worth as a manager in the Premier League by getting the very best out of the current crop of players that Rafa Benitez failed to have a positive impact on, and implementing the new signings into the side to improve the trajectory that Everton has been on so far this season by taking the club out of a potential relegation battle.

Should he immediately get more from van de Beek then he will surely become an instant hit at Goodison.

Com base mantida e reforços pontuais, Vitória inicia Copa do Nordeste em busca do hexa

MatériaMais Notícias

Maior campeão da história da Copa do Nordeste, com cinco títulos, o Vitória inicia sua trajetória na Copa do Nordeste 2018 nesta terça-feira, diante do Globo-RN, às 22h45 (horário de Brasília), no Barretão, em Ceará-Mirim. A expectativa é grande em busca de mais uma taça. Até o momento, o clube fez contratações pontuais para reforçar o elenco.

Foram quatro novos jogadores contratados: os laterais Lucas e Bryan, o meio-campista Lucas Marques e o atacante Denílson. Todos atuaram na Série A em 2017.

Lateral-direito, Lucas esteve no Fluminense em 2017. Experiente, ele conquistou a Copa do Brasil em 2015, pelo Palmeiras. Bryan é lateral-esquerdo, e fez parte do elenco do Cruzeiro campeão da Copa do Brasil no ano passado.

Já Lucas Marques e Denílson estavam na Chapecoense e São Paulo, respectivamente. Aos 22 anos, ambos esperam se firmar no Vitória. O atacante, inclusive, deixou os torcedores animados ao fazer os dois gols rubro-negros no primeiro jogo-treino da temporada: triunfo por 2 a 1 sobre o Atlântico.

Com a manutenção de Vágner Mancini – treinador que possui maior número de jogos pelo clube – e a espinha dorsal do time, o entrosamento deve ser a arma do Leão nas primeiras partidas da temporada. Nove dos 11 jogadores que deverão iniciar o jogo de estreia são remanescentes de 2017, entre eles Santiago Tréllez, estrangeiro com maior número de gols no Brasileirão do ano passado: dez tentos.

– A Copa do Nordeste é um torneio muito importante no primeiro semestre. Somos os maiores campeões, e lutaremos para voltar a ganhar a competição. Temos uma base já formada, que será importante para o início do ano – afirma Erasmo Damiani, diretor de futebol do clube.

O Vitória segue atento ao mercado e deverá se reforçar mais nas próximas semanas.

– Estamos buscando mais alguns nomes de forma minuciosa. Queremos trazer jogadores pontuais, para fortalecer o elenco ainda mais. Estamos planejando para termos um grande ano, para que possamos dar muitas alegrias para o torcedor – completa Damiani.

A Copa do Nordeste será o pontapé inicial de uma temporada cheia de compromissos: Baiano, Copa do Brasil e Brasileiro. No estadual, a missão é conquistar o tricampeonato. Na última edição, o Leão levou o título de forma invicta.

Além do entrosamento e reforços de qualidade, o clube baiano também terá nas tradicionais categorias de base uma fonte para observar jogadores. Do atual elenco, nove dos 27 atletas são formados no tradicional celeiro do clube.

Com grande campanha na Copa São Paulo 2018, o Leão tem um dos destaques do torneio: o atacante Luan, de apenas 18 anos. Com cinco gols marcados, ele é um dos artilheiros da Copinha e é cotado para subir para os profissionais. O Rubro-Negro está nas oitavas de final de final e busca o título inédito.

O jogo desta terça-feira, diante do Globo, pela Copa do Nordeste, também é especial por outro motivo: será o primeiro sob comando do presidente Ricardo David, que assumiu o cargo em dezembro. O Rubro- Negro está no grupo B do torneio, ao lado de Globo, Ferroviário e ABC.

Rangers set to land major deadline day deal

A big update has emerged on Rangers and their efforts to bolster Gio van Bronckhorst’s squad on the final day of the January transfer window…

What’s the talk?

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the Gers are on the verge of completing a swoop to land a major deadline day signing.

He Tweeted: “Rangers are set to sign Aaron Ramsey on loan from Juventus, deal finally in place. Final details to be completed on player side with his agent but it’s almost done. #Rangers Buy option for Rangers will be included, as reported earlier.”

Champions League football incoming

The signing of Ramsey is a huge move for Rangers and he could come in and provide the level of quality they need to pip their arch-rivals Celtic to the Premiership title.

Winning the league this season guarantees entry into the group stages of the Champions League next season, rather than needing to go through the qualifying rounds and potentially ending up in the Europa League. This means that clinching the trophy this term would result in a major payday of at least £30m from playing in Europe’s premier competition.

Ramsey is an experienced, proven, player at the top level of football who could make a major impact for Gio van Bronckhorst in the second half of the campaign.

He has produced six goals and six assists in 70 games for Juventus, having managed an impressive 65 goals and 65 assists in 371 matches for Arsenal earlier in his career, whilst also scoring 20 in 71 caps for Wales.

This shows that he has the ability, and consistency, to be a big threat at the top end of the pitch with his late runs from midfield to get on the end of chances whilst also creating them for his teammates. He also has plenty of experience playing in the Europa League and Champions League, which could give the side a lift when they return to European action later this season.

Domestically, though, his goals and assists could help the Gers to get over the line and secure the Premiership title, as he has been able to provide quality throughout his career. This means that his arrival could seal the trophy and a whopping £30m (at least) payday for Ross Wilson and the club to work with heading into the 2022/23 campaign, which is why this could be a phenomenal signing.

مدرب جيرونا: كان يجب احتساب هدف ريال مدريد الملغي

تحدث ميشيل مدرب جيرونا لوسائل الإعلام بعد حصوله على نقطة في سانتياجو برنابيو من ركلة جزاء مثيرة للجدل سجلها ستواني، وهدف تم إلغاءه لرودريجو في الدقيقة 90 وكان هدف فوز ريال مدريد.

وفرض جيرونا تعادلاً إيجابيًا بهدف لمثله على ريال مدريد في منافسات الدوري الإسباني مساء الأحد. 

وقال ميشيل في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية حين سُئل عن هدف رودريجو الملغي: “في كرة القدم أعتقد أنه هدف، لكن مع وجود القاعدة المتعلقة بأن الكرة في يد حارس المرمى فهي خطأ ويلغى”.

مضيفًا: “يجب أن نلقي نظرة على اللوائح لأنه هدف بالنسبة لي، إذا لم تلمس حارس المرمى، يجب أن يكون هدفًا”.

وتابع ميشيل: “فكرت في الأمر في المباراة ضد ألميريا عندما ألغوا لنا هدفًا مماثلًا، وأنا أفكر في الأمر الآن، لكن القاعدة هكذا”.

عانى ميشيل من نفس الموقف في الجولة العاشرة ضد ألميريا، خسر فريقه جيرونا 3-2 وفي الدقيقة 97 تعادل بهدف من يانجيل هيريرا، ألغى الحكم الهدف، لأن الحارس لمس الكرة بيد واحدة على العشب.

Cricinfo’s plays of the day from the second ODI between England and Australia in Cardiff

Bowler of the day
Stuart Broad missed out on cheap wickets against Bangladesh last month after being sent on a “strength and conditioning” programme by the ECB, which is a fancy way of saying he was dispatched to the gym. All those hours of heavy weights paid dividends today, however, as Broad made a sluggish pitch look deceptively springy with a back-bending spell of 4 for 44 in ten overs. His natural aggression was allied to a splice-jangling length, and none of Australia’s batsmen looked at ease as he ripped out three wickets in his first six overs. Tim Paine may have been strangled down the leg-side, but Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke had no qualms about their dismissals, as Broad set the tone for another energetic England performance.Self-preservation of the day
The use of a short leg is a rarity in one-day cricket. So rare, in fact, that when Luke Wright overstepped during a feisty spell from the River Taff End, he inadvertently highlighted an anomaly in the game’s new Free Hit rules. Under the provisions of Law 24.2, no fielding changes are permissible ahead of a Free Hit delivery, but that prospect left Graeme Swann under the lid feeling distinctly uneasy. He assessed the likelihood of a scorching pull clattering into his ribs (high), divided it by the chances of taking a game-changing catch (non-existent), and after a brief consultation with captain and umpires, trotted off to the boundary’s edge to sit out the delivery (which, as it happens, was toe-ended to point).Non-catch of the day
The aforementioned Free Hit was doubly unfortunate for England, seeing as they would have picked up their fourth wicket in 20 overs had it not been for Wright’s faulty footwork. On 3, Cameron White fenced outside off, and snicked a low chance towards Craig Kieswetter, who responded with instincts he usually reserves for off-stump half-volleys to stretch athletically and low to his right, and cling on one-handed to a screaming catch. Seeing as White went on to anchor Australia’s innings with an unbeaten 86, it had the makings of a costly error.Catch of the day
At the age of 35 and with 347 ODI appearances under his belt already, Ricky Ponting is what you might describe as long in the tooth. But on the evidence of the catch he produced to extract Kevin Pietersen, he’s a long way from becoming a liability in the field. With the legspinner Steven Smith just entering the attack, Pietersen was predictably eager to mark his territory against the rookie, and a bludgeoned leg-side four was the start of his anticipated onslaught. Ponting, however, brought himself into the firing line at short midwicket, and from the very next delivery, he launched himself upwards and backwards to snatch a one-handed chance in his fingertips.Landmark of the day
Paul Collingwood launched his ODI career back in the summer of 2001, and was part of an England team that lost six matches out of six to Australia and Pakistan. He would not have imagined back then that he would go on to become his country’s most capped player in limited-overs cricket, let alone top the run-charts in that format as well. But, having overhauled Alec Stewart’s total of 170 matches during the recent tour of South Africa, Collingwood today eased past his runs tally as well. The shot that got him there was a nondescript pull to fine leg off Clint McKay, as he moved his score for the day to 33, and for his career to 4678. By the end of the match, he was sitting pretty on 4693 and was 62nd on the all-time list.Gamebreaker of the day
Compared to the heights that he reached at the Rose Bowl on Tuesday, Eoin Morgan produced a far from fluent performance, but in the final analysis, it did not matter. Australia improved their tactics against him, in particular by cutting out the driveable half-volleys, but the target was some 40 runs below par and there wasn’t any need for him to go after the game with anything like the same gusto. While he and Collingwood were chiselling away the requirement in an 83-run stand for the fourth wicket, he reached the boundary just once in his first 52 balls. His eventual dismissal for 52 from 64 left the crowd agog in silence, but with the requirement already down to three an over, England’s more-than-competent tail completed the job with room to spare.

Newcastle United: Miguel Almiron

With PIF having taken over the reins at Newcastle United, fans of the Tyneside club can look to a far more promising future than they once did.

Eddie Howe’s recent appointment and work in the transfer window has turned the tides at St James’ Park, with the recent 3-1 victory over Everton in mid-week a clear indication of the kind of improvements the Magpies have made.

But while the Magpies are moving forward in the right direction, one man who remains a prime example of some of the failures of the previous regime, is Miguel Almiron.

Having signed him from MLS side Atlanta United in the January transfer window of 2019 for a then club-record fee of £20m, it’s fair to say things haven’t quite worked out for the attacking midfielder.

The Paraguay international has endured another difficult Premier League season thus far, scoring no goals and providing no assists whatsoever in the 19 games that he has played in all competitions.

The £75k-a-week earning ace’s appalling total record of just 13 goals and five assists in 110 games for Newcastle, is simply not good enough, especially in this new PIF-led era at St James’ Park.

Indeed, with his transfer fee and wages combined, he’s cost the Tyneside club an incredible £32m in the 158 weeks that he’s been at St James’ Park.

The Magpies will no doubt be embarking on a massive spending spree in the upcoming transfer windows, and getting rid of the deadwood and under-performing players will surely be on the agenda too.

PIF must make a ruthless call and get rid at the earliest possible opportunity. If the club are serious about taking that next step and moving forwards, then axing below-par players like Almiron is the logical decision to make, and ensure they aren’t being held back.

At the moment, Almiron just continues to be a drain on Newcastle’s wage bill and hasn’t shown anything like the kind of form that would suggest he should be a part of the club’s long-term future.

Meanwhile, Newcastle must finally sell this star…
