علّق يورجن كلوب، المدير الفني لفريق ليفربول، على تأهل فريقه إلى منافسات دور الـ16 من بطولة كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي أمس أمام ولفرهامبتون.
وفاز ليفربول على ولفرهامبتون بهدف دون رد، على ملعب “مولينيو” في إعادة دور الـ32 من بطولة الكأس.
وقال كلوب في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية: “استمتعت بذلك كثيرًا، إنه شعور نادر جدًا، مر زمن طويل منذ أن كان لدينا هذا الشعور، حيث لعبنا بشكل جيد وفزنا، كان علينا أن نقاتل بقوة الليلة”.
وأضاف: “كنا متحمسين للغاية في الدفاع الليلة ولعبنا كرة قدم رائعة، لقد نجح خط الوسط بأكمله في الضغط على الخصم، لقد أحببت المباراة كثيرًا، هذا هو رد الفعل الذي أردنا رؤيته”.
وواصل: “إليوت؟ كان جيدًا خاصة بعد إصابة مبكرة في الكاحل، لقد تألق وكان هدفه استثنائيًا، لدي عدة لاعبين قدموا أفضل أداء اليوم”.

وأردف: “لقد لعبنا شوطًا أولًا جيدًا حقًا، وكان لدينا فترات جيدة في الشوط الثاني، وفي النهاية قمنا بعدة تصديات”.
واستكمل: “بالنظر إلى الشغف الذي أظهرناه، فإن وظيفتي هي مساعدة الأولاد والعثور على التشكيل الذي يشعرون فيه بالرضا منذ البداية”.

Chris Gayle has said he “will explore the opportunities available” to him elsewhere since he can no longer wait on the WICB to resolve their issues with him

Chris Gayle says “enough is enough”•AFP
Chris Gayle has said he “will explore the opportunities available” to him elsewhere since he can no longer wait on the WICB to resolve their issues with him, but is available for selection for West Indies and Jamaica and has ruled out retirement. In a long and emotional public statement he said communication with officials of the West Indies and Jamaica boards had broken down and traced the evolution of the long-running and bitter dispute back to 2009, when Ernest Hilaire, now CEO of the WICB, cast doubts on his ability to captain the team.Gayle also referred to the recent efforts at rapprochement with Hilaire and said that Hilaire would not be able to meet him till August, ruling him out of West Indies’ current home series against India.”I have now reached the stage where I have to say that enough is enough,” Gayle wrote. “I understand that the WICB and the Jamaica Board met and my matter was discussed but nobody has told me anything and I can only assume without any positive feedback there has been no resolution. There is a disciplinary process in West Indies cricket. Yet the board is allowed to be the complainant as well as policeman, judge, jury and executioner in my case. When I tried to respond to the accusations made against me, I am deemed to be out of place and trying to destroy West Indies cricket.”I am now coming close to the end of my shelf-life as a cricketer … and must concentrate on providing for my family now and in the future. On this basis, and not hearing from the West Indies Cricket Board with any clear pathway forward, I have come to the bitter realisation that I am not wanted by the board and all that has gone before in terms of reconciliation is a sham and a mockery. I see it as a scam to fool the people of the West Indies and the world into believing that they were serious about my returning to West Indies cricket.”My eyes are open, my heart is clean, my conscience is clear and the voice of reason is loud in my ears telling me that I should close this chapter in my life. I am not going to be the WICB’s whipping boy. We as West Indies players are admired throughout the world for our honesty and sportsmanship. Yet the custodians of West Indies cricket, the people who are responsible for the development of our heritage sport, have not dealt with us honestly.”It is against this background that I have now decided not to wait on the WICB any longer but, while I still have the time and the skills, explore the opportunities available to me elsewhere. I do it reluctantly but have no choice. I have people to take care of and cannot sit for months waiting on WICB CEO Ernest Hilaire and the board.”Despite all that has happened I am still hopeful that good sense will prevail and I would once again represent my country and my region in near the future. I wish to make it abundantly clear that I have not yet retired from any form of the game and remain available for selection for both Jamaica and West Indies. However, this is entirely out of my hands.”Gayle suggested his exclusion from the series against India was part of a long-term plan to remove him from the team. The problem, Gayle said, goes back to 2009, since when he had “been put in a no-win situation”. Soon after Hilaire took office that October, he said, the board questioned the selectors’ recommendation that he should captain the team to tour Australia. While eight members voted for him, five voted against. “Clive Lloyd, who had praised me highly before was one of them [who voted against him]. He never said anything to me about why he was no longer on my side. Joel Garner, who was the manager of the West Indies team and who worked with me closely on the Stanford game which we won, was another. Conde Riley from Barbados too. Most surprising is the man who said publicly that he always supported me as captain. Professor Hilary Beckles voted against me so when he says that he pushed for me to be captain you have to decide whether to believe Beckles or the minutes of the meeting. Gregory Shillingford of the Leeward Islands voted against me.”The Board set up a committee to meet with him, he said, which included Lloyd, Garner and Beckles. He was then criticised in coach Ottis Gibson’s report on the 2010 World Twenty20, which said, “the captain was not a natural leader” and “not a student of the game and lacks tactical awareness on the field”. However, Gayle wrote, Gibson never said anything to him before or after his report. “He is a man who sought my advice when things were not going well. Before he became the West Indies coach he used to call me often.”In October 2010, Gayle was sacked as captain, and says he still has no idea why. “I did not protest since the captaincy is not a right. It is a duty.” He said he went on the Sri Lanka tour in November 2010 having recommitted himself to West Indies cricket and backing Darren Sammy, the new captain. He pointed to his triple-century in the first Test of that tour, and said: “Nobody questioned my commitment then.”After the World Cup, he said, the board was looking for people to blame for the poor performance of the team and “picked on me and the other senior players”. This time it was not the captaincy that was the issue but the senior players – “Gibson said we lacked the hunger and the desire to succeed”.Gayle said he played with an injury during the World Cup and returned to Jamaica to get in shape for the home series against Pakistan. A camp was set up but nobody contacted him, and he was again ignored when the squad was picked for the first two ODIs. That, he says, is when he got an offer to play in the IPL – for Royal Challengers Bangalore – and went when the WICB made it publicly clear that Ramnaresh Sarwan, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Gayle were not considered for selection. “I did not turn my back on the West Indies because the West Indies had already turned its back on me. I was not in the squad and it was clear that there was no intention to pick me.”From there on things moved swiftly – and dramatically. Gayle said the controversial June 15 meeting with WICB officials, at which WIPA president Dinanath Ramnarine was also present, was called to discuss his future but had a motive other than his reinstatement in the side.On June 22, he said, he wrote to Hilaire in response to an email received the previous day in which Hilaire said he wanted to resolve the issue but sought to know what Gayle wanted him to do. Gayle said he had not received any guidance, other than what has appeared in the media, on what he needed to do to be included in the West Indies team.He received a reply two days later in which Hilaire said that the issue was about a “history of misunderstanding, miscommunication and mishandling of issues, on both sides”. He said Gayle would have to meet with the team management and after that with the selectors, and after that with the cricket operations department and only then would Hilaire meet him before reporting to the board. That, Hilaire said, would not be until August.Gayle also referred to the WICB’s claim that Ramnarine had threatened Hilaire with a chair at the June 15 meeting, saying nothing of the sort happened. He admitted tempers flared during the meeting but disagreed with accusations that Ramnarine had not represented Gayle’s best interest in the meeting.
Definitivamente o Corinthians não teve um bom desempenho na noite deste sábado, na Arena. O empate em 0 a 0 com o Vitória, é mais um reflexo das mudanças ocorridas no clube nos últimos tempos, como jogadores lesionados, saídas dentro e fora de campo, além das convocações para seleções. Mesmo sabendo disso, o torcedor cobra melhores resultados do time e o principal alvo, inevitavelmente, se torna o técnico Osmar Loss.
Em entrevista coletiva após o jogo contra o time baiano, o comandante corintiano comentou a atuação de sua equipe, além de aproveitar para minimizar as críticas em relação ao seu trabalho no clube, dizendo estar focado em sua função.
– Acho que fizemos um primeiro tempo abaixo do que podemos render. Na segunda etapa, fizemos uma correção de posicionamento e conseguimos controlar o Vitória. Infelizmente, não conseguimos fazer o gol. Em relação às críticas, tento não ler e não ver programas esportivos. Estou focado no Corinthians – declarou.
Durante a partida, além das reclamações, foi possível ouvir a torcida pedindo a entrada do jovem Matheus Mathias, que ainda não havia feito sua estreia pelo clube. Aos 43 minutos da segunda etapa o atacante substituiu Roger, mas Loss negou que tenha agido de acordo com a solicitação da arquibancada.
– Não sou um treinador que vai fazer substituição em função da torcida. Penso sempre no clube. O Roger estava desgastado e por isso coloquei o Mathias – explicou.
O treinador também analisou os fatores que tem causado os problemas que ele tem enfrentado para escalar o time nas últimas rodadas, mas exaltou os jogadores que tem à disposição para suprir as ausências.
– São muito fatores. Ter o grupo inteiro à disposição faz muita diferença. Jogadores lesionados, seleção e uma série de fatores. A gente joga com os jogadores que temos. Confiamos neles – concluiu.
O Corinthians volta a campo na próxima quarta-feira para enfrentar o Bahia, fora de casa, em jogo válido pela 12ª Rodada do Brasileirão-2018, a última antes da pausa para a Copa do Mundo.

Adrian Barath, the West Indies batsman, has said that he would’ve liked to have played more domestic games before returning to international cricket after a long lay-off. Barath injured his hamstring during a World Cup 2011 warm-up match in February and played his first international game in more than four months against India in Kingston in June.”That would have been the best scenario (but) the medical team and selectors saw it fit in the best time to get me back,” Barath told the Trinidad-based . “It’s important that there are no niggles. I played the Trindiad & Tobago Twenty20 Festival but you really can’t compare that to international cricket.”Barath had one half-century in the three Tests against India, but looked rusty and struggled to convert his starts, often getting out edging to the slip cordon after shuffling too far across. “I just followed the ball,” he said. “It’s something I have to work on. Missing cricket has a part to play as well in terms of hand-eye coordination, footwork and just being tentative outside off-stump. I never had this problem before.”Barath is now concentrating on his preparations for the Champions League Twenty20 qualifiers, to be played in Hyderabad, India in September. Trinidad are the defending West Indies regional T20 champions and will play five other sides for three spots in the main tournament.”It’s obviously something we didn’t expect (having to qualify) but whatever is thrown at you in life you have to find a way to deal with. The boys are up to these challenges that we are going to face,” he said. “I think we have the ability to even win the tournament. We need to play as a team and we have quality players.”Having played for Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2010, Barath said that he was not averse to another IPL contract but his loyalties were with West Indies and Trinidad. “My performances are towards T&T winning the Champions League. I would like to contribute towards that goal. If the opportunity arises that I can get an IPL contract then no problem. Once it doesn’t coincide with international cricket (I will play). I have to be faithful to West Indies cricket.”
O atacante Mario Mandzukic disse, após o segundo treino da Croácia em São Petersburgo, nesta terça, que o objetivo de sua seleção precisa ser, antes de tudo, passar da primeira fase da Copa do Mundo.
O atacante de 32 anos foi questionado sobre a possibilidade de a atual “geração de ouro”, que tem nomes como Rakitc, Perisic e Modric, repetir a façanha de 1998, quando o time liderado por Davor Suker só parou na semifinal diante da anfitriã França.
– Sabemos que temos bons jogadores e uma boa equipe, mas o primeiro objetivo é passar pela fase de grupos. Depois disso, tudo é possível – disse Mandzukic.
A presença do goleador da Juventus (ITA) entre os titulares no jogo contra a Nigéria, sábado, às 16h (de Brasília), ainda é posta como dúvida. Ele não participou da derrota por 2 a 0 para o Brasil devido a uma lesão no joelho. Na vitória por 2 a 1 sobre Senegal, jogou apenas o primeiro tempo.
– Não sei se jogarei desde o começo. Temos mais treinos, mais tempo para que a equipe se prepare para enfrentar a Nigéria. Eu estarei pronto para o que for. Fico feliz por cada um dos nossos jogadores estar bem no clube e na seleção – disse ele, que disputa posição com Andrej Kramaric, que atua no Hoffeinheim e foi titular diante da Seleção Brasileira.
Argentina e Islândia, além da Nigéria, são as adversárias da Croácia no Grupo D.
